THE MOON AND INSANITY

II OW universal was formerly the
belief there was direct connec-
ton between the moon and insanity is
shown by the fact that our words,
lunacy and Llnatic, are derived direct
ly from Luna, the Latin name of the
Roman moon goddess corresponding
with the Greek Selene. Luna was the
moon and she was only one Of the
various personifications of the moon
which existed in all mythologies and
of which Isis of the Egyptians appears
to have been the original 1t used
to be a common belief, among sailors
especially, that if a person slept in
the moonlight he was liable to go mad
That superstition is still in existence
as is also the more common one that
lunatics are more violent when the
moon is at the full. Even Thacke-ay,
in his story of Catherine" appears
to- credit this mistaken belief; and it
is not so very long ago that response

phian shrine worked herself into a
frenzy before she uttered her oracles
and the priests of the moon goddess
bathed themselves in her refulgent
beams to obtain inspiration and de-
claimed from her affairs after the man
ner of madmen.
Modern medical science declares
that there is not the slightest connec-
ton between the moon and insanity
and modern research shows that the
whole idea is a superstition surviving
from the days when the priests of Isis
by the banks of the Nile waved their
wild arms toward their shining god
dess and with ''eyes in fine frenzy

awe-struck people.

Wit Saved Situation

The wastrel son had come to the
end of his resources, and sent pite-
Gus appeal to his father for funds,
saying that if they were not forthcom-
ing he would starve to death. He re-
ceived this crushing reply in the form
OF a telegram: LAS you have made
your bed, SO must you lie on it." The
quick-witted scape-grace was equal to
the occasion, and wired back !:
Haven't a bed The sheriff took 1t
yesterday" A substantial check was
the reward for his wit.

Times Heavy Hand
Had Made Changes

Two brothers, who thirty-nine years
ago in their home in Germany looked
so much alike that their friends some
times confused them, met recently in
Massillon and failed to recognize each
other until they were introduced, says
the Canton (Ohio) Repository.
They were Henry Laschinske, of
Canton, and his brother Carl, who had
just come to this country with his
family When the former came to
America thirty-nine years ago he was
twenty-five years old and left his nine
teen-year-old brother, Carl, at home in
Germany. The arrival of the latter
and his family in this country was nm
announced. When the two met at the
home of Miss Mary Kutrib, of Massil-
lon, neither knew that he was face TO
face with his brother.
They chatted for some time before
Miss Kutrib introduced them to each
other as brothers. Then they lost no
time in calling up boyhood memories.

there was no mistake about it, the
ground under Cheerups was moving.
With little spring he jumped to
one side and then what do you sup

LITTLE NOTES OF
FASHION S WHIMS

Parma violets adorn ostrich
feather fans. hats Of straw and
felt. and dresses. The shoulder
flower. whether gardenla,
carnation, orchid or chrysan-
thtmum. is essential.
Chenille trim is sponsored as
trimming for dresses and bags
and also in sets Of sweater, scarf,
hat and belt.
There is much needlework on
dresses. such as hand fagotting.
eyelet embroidery and Petit
Point stitching.
Envelope lines still govern
the bag situation. Fancy leath-
e-s. raffia, cretonne, hand
loomed silks are used. The
very large Monogram is as
smart as it is large.
