According TO Greek mythology, the
original Phoebe was the daughter OF
Gaea. According to tradition adopt

Delphic oracle to Apollo. son of her
daughter LetO. Poetic license calls

phoebe our sister," the deaconess of
CenChrea, was commended by Saint
Paul to the Romans; but she has few
namesakes except in England, where
she typifies the quaint, demure, old
fashioned type so popular with British
writer's and poets.
The italian Febe refers only to the
moon and is rarely used as a proper
name. 1t was in reference to the noble
qualities of the huntress goddess of
the moon that Spenser named his love

other warlike heroine, Britomartis, an

DOGS AND HEALTH

TT is a general superstition all over
L the United States that the health
of children is improved by having them
play with dogs; and in many localities
It Is believed that a sick child-Or, as
many gay, even a grown person-can
be cured by having a dog sleep in the
bed with him. A publication of the
American Folklore society has the
following instance:
"A few years ago a young man in
HoIyoke Mass. Ga common-sense per
SOM had a child i'll with dumb ague.
BY advice he got a pup and put it in
the child's cradle. The dog broke out
in sores and the child got we'll"
Here, again. we have that form of
sympathetic magic known as the
magic of cOntaCt-the ancient primi-
tive belief. The dog sympathetlcally
absorbs the disease of the patient by
being brought into contact with him
draws 1t out, as it were.
As to the selection of dog for the
curative process, the dog was one of
the three animals-the other two be-
ing the lion and the goat-sacred to
Jove, Mercury (some say Mars) and
Pan. To put goat or a lion in a
child's crib might be trife incOnveni-
ent, but the dog is easy. Thus in
working the cure we not only get the
benefit of sympathetic magic, but in
woke the beneficent power of the great
gods to whom the dog is sacred.

The name Spain Main was popular
~ given by English voyagers, during
the Sixteenth and Seventeenth CEN
turies, to the north coast of South
America, between the Orinoco river and
the Isthmus of Darien, and also to
the Spanish provinces of Central
America bordering on the Caribbean

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Dec. 16.-"No revolution is dawning in surgery of the stomach. The medical profession is advancing step by step, but no leap forward has been taken because of the discovery of any single surgical method"
 This is the comment made today by Dr. John Van Duyn, veteran Syracuse surgeon and old faculty member of the College of Medicine, Syracuse University, to Dr. H. B. Devine of Melbourne, Australia.
 Dr. Devine declared before the American College of Surgeons in New York City that system of rendering diseased portions of the stomach nerveless and allowing them to re- main in the human body would obvi- ate the necessity of dangerous opera tions

My task in the embassy will be all

However, my feelings toward the

warmest from earliest manhood, and
whatever, 1t is possible to do toward
strengthening the understanding be-

by me so far as ability and desire
permit.
II consider Washington one of the

turn there. l intend to leave Madrid
about the end of January, going to
London to confer and make final ar
