INITIALS ON TURTLES

TT rs a common superstition in the
1 rural districts that if you cut your
initials on the shell of turtle he will
never leave the vicinity of your home.
The superstition is survival of SYM
pathetic magic. By cutting your ini-
tials on the turtle you set up SYM
patty between it and yourself by the
magic of contact which holds him in
your immediate neighborhood.
The chief interest in the supersti-
ton lies in the fact that it illustrates
a comparatively rare phase of the
workings of sympathetic magic as
conceived by our primitive ancestors;
commonly sympathetic magic works on
the principle of like producing like, so
that If you initiate thunderstorm
YOU produce one; or on the principle
illustrated by killing man by melt
ing his waxen image before a fire;
or, again, on the principle of trans
ference by which disease is trans
ferred by contact, from person to a
dog or to a necklace of Jobs tears.
But sympathetic magic has other
phases, one of which is its operation
In cases like that Of the turtle and
the initials-a binding together with
out other effect than continuance of
Yropinquity. The superstition would

Jimmy Skunk did not really wish

willing to risk it Jimmy decided if
he wanted to trot about with such

to take the consequences.
'Now, are you all ready?" he asked
as the three stood in row with their
eyes closed.

next thing they knew they felt some

the most awful odor they ever re-

Skunk was gone, which showed them
he could hurry when he cared to

LYDIA

r YDIA is of Latin origin. She is
IL one Of the feminine names de-
rived from places. AS Della comes
from the island of Delos, so Lydia be-
came a proper name in honor of the
city Of Lydia which played such an
important part in early history.
Lydia has deep and reverent Bib
lical significance, since the first Lydia
was the seller Of purple who became
converted by st. Paul at Thyatira Her
story is contained in one of the strik-
ing passages of the Acts.
Englishwomen, who seem especially
given to Scriptural names, adopted
Lydia quite early in history. The
name fourishes in the pages of Eng
lish literature, and also has extreme
vogue in this country. Curiously
enough, it seems to have escaped trans
lation into any other than the English
language.
LYDIA, a name not in common usage
but none the less musical, may pos
sibly be contraction of Lydia II
such is the case, the name is no doubt
the outgrowth of personal feminine
preference, and withoet genealogical
sanction.
The yellow jacinth is Lydia's tails
manic stone. 1t will guard her from
danger and disease, particularly when
she is travelling. The wearer of a
jacinth need have no fear of light
ming, since the stone is said to be
proof against that menacing element.
According to ancient legend, a jacinth
will break as a warning of the ap-
proach Of evil Thursday is Lydia's
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.
Yellow is her color.

CoIored Onions RepeI Gern1s

In the course Of an investigation of
some plant diseases that attack the
common onion plant, DR.. G. Walker
has discovered that the colored varie-
ties of onions are highly resistant to
the diseases, whereas the pure white
onions succumb at once. The secret is
that the skins of the colored onions
contain chemical which is poisonous
to the germs causing the disease. If
one Of these germs tries to penetrate
into the colored onion bulb the germ is
killed. White onions lack this germ
poison and disease finds them, there
fore, an easy prey.

Tel-Aviv, a 100 per cent Jewish city,

 Asker by the chairman of the re- publican state central committee to sign a statement pIedging his support 10 the party platform and endorsing President Coolidge. Senator Couzens replied he could not do so.
 If complete adherence to the pro- posals and policies of President Cool idge is the test of republication, there are no republicans in the national congress" he said, 'l do not bel "ss it to be the desire of my constituents that I abjecty promise to follow someone and do his bidding.'
 No candidate can endorse both the state platform and President Coolidge 100 per cent" he said, "because they are in measure inconsistent with each other I believe in party gov ernment," he said. but so long as am member of the party l propose to have a voice in 1t and not be con- trolled by party bosses or leaders"
