THE WHY ST ovz KING
- SUPERSTITIONS

The twin fruit or the twin stones, are
representative OF the twin god and
goddess. Apollo represented the be-
neficent and life-giving powers of the
sun-that which ripens fruit-and his
twin was also a deity of light but
connected with the moon, the source
of all moisture, which caused fruit to
flourish and mature. Apollo was a
mighty protector of mortals from all
evil and Artemis protected from dan
ger and pestilence In one of her
many forms Artemis is the patroness
of fruits and grain and pastoral pur-
suits while Apollo protected from in
sects and animals which destroyed the
products of the fields and orchards.
Therefore it is easy to see why a freak
of nature like a twin fruit or a
double-seeded fruit should have been
regarded by the ancients as mani
festation of the heavenly twins and
an omen of good luck to the finder.

At that moment a beaming stranger
approached him with outstretched

Well, well, more wells! I'm sure you

CLARISSA

CLARISSA is purely literary name
~ in origin, though it enjoys every
day usage. With the interesting sig
nificance of rendering famous" it
dates back to the old Latin adjective
"clarus," meaning bright or clear. y
St. Clarus was the first bishop of
Nantes in Brittany in A. D. $50; an
other famous Clarus was a hermit
near Rouen.
The first feminine of the name was
formed in Italy where Chiara appeared
as the title of a disciple of st. Fran

She Knew

One of the biggest attractions to
the middle westerner who comes out
here is the visit to the battleships
some of which are always to be seen
at San Diego, says the Los Angeles
Times. Many of these visitors have
never before seen the ocean, let alone
a battleship, but for some reason they
do not like to let this fact be known.
Thus it was with the fair young
thing who was being shown about by
a sailor. He had explained about
yeomen, able seamen, engineers and
one thing and another, and now the
pretty girl pointed out another man
whose insignia was different.
That's the coxs'n," explained her
guide patiently. His duty is"

Measure of the Great

Great men are the ambassadors Of
Providence sent to reveal to their fell
low men their unknown selves. There
is something about them better than
they do or say. If measured at all,
they are to be measured in the re
sponsive action of what others do or
say. They come and go, in part a mys-
terry, in part the simplest of all ex-
perience, the compelling influence of
truth. They leave no successor. The
heritage of greatness descends TO the
people.-Calvin Coolidge.

TWIN FRUIT

ITO FIND a twin fruit-that is, APP
a pies, pears, etc., grown together
so as to form one mass-Or to run
across a fruit which has two stones
when it should have but one, is held
to be an omen Of good luck by the

nected with the European kingfisher,
or halcyon, as it was anciently called.
An old belief was that the seven days
preceding the shortest day of the
year were used by these birds to build
their nests, which, it was thought,
fioated on the water, and the seven
days following were devoted to hatch
ing the eggs. During this period "the
halcyon days" the ancients believed,
the Sc awasalways calm. That is
why we use the word "halcyon" to
describe calm peaceful days. The
power of quelling storms was be-
lieved to have been conferred upon
the kingfisher by Aeolus, the wind
god, who made this dispensation
when his daughter, Alcyone, and her
husband, Ceyx, were changed into
kingfishers. This myth accounts for
the ancient and poetical name of hal
CyOn.

m HE kingfisher is trlck per
former, and by his tricks he
gets his living. From a perch
sometimes as high as fifty feet above
the water he does a sudden dive,
seizes some Iuckless little fish in
his long beak, flies back to his perch,
losses the fish into the air, and
swallows it head first! AT times he
beats the fish against the perch be-
fore swallowing it, or he may carry
the fish away to his young famlly'
but one part of the performance Is
always the same - the meteor-ilke
swiftness of the birds plunge. The
kingfishers constitute large family
of about 200 species, distributed over
the greater part Of the globe, with
about eleven species in America. All
are remarkable for the beauty or
their plumage and Their interesting
habits They are unsociable BIRDS
and when a pair has taken out
Fishing rights" for a particular
neighborhood, it allows no trespass-
ing there by others.
The true kingfshers nest in holes
which they dig in banks, from
four to fifteen feet deep. The five
to eight eggs are laid on heap OF
fish bones, and the young grow up
in quite a fishy atmosphere.
The belted kingfisher is the COM
monest American species. 1t is
about twelve inches long, with a
bristling black crest which gives it
a savage look; its upper feathers
and belt are blush gray, and under
parts white. The females have a
reddish band across the abdomen.
The large bill is a powerful sharp
edged implement that is capable OF
catching an insect on land, or a
slippery fish under water. The call
is a loud rafting cry unlike the call
of any other bird. This species
winters in most of the central and
southern parts Of the United States.
The Texas kinghsher is a smaller
bird, green above and white below.
He resembles the belted kingf1sher In
habits.
The kingfisher family is most num-
erous in the Malay Archipelago and
New Guinea, where there are many
beautifully colored species. The
common kingfisher of Europe. with
its blue-green upper parts and rich
chestnut breast, is an example of the
striking plumage some member of
this family wear.
Many beautiful legends are con-
