APPLES AND SEEDS

MI ANY are the methods practiced
4sA today by the superstition of divi-
nation by apples, apple seeds and APP
pie parings. They are nearly all in the
nature of projects" or love-charms.
The most general of these in this
country is. perhaps, the throwing of a
whole apple pairing on the floor after
swinging 1t three times around the
head in the belief that 1t will fall in
the shape of the initial of ones future
wife or husband. Then there is the
naming of apple seeds and divining
with them in various ways: the eating
of an apple at midnight before glass
while one holds lamp and repeats an
appropriate rhyme with the expecta-
ton of seeing ones true love peep
over ones shoulder; and the ''bObbing
for apples" on Allhalloween. Doubt
less the reader can recall many more.
The apple superstition in all its
forms has its root so far back in my
theology that its primal origin is lost
but mystic qualities have always been
attributed to this fruit since the days
of Tammuz Perhaps its origin was
in the fact that the apple tree is The
tree Upon which the mistletoe is most

Then, as his eyes travelled slowly
down, down, over about eight feet Of
neck and along about ton feet more
of body and leg, he had the surprise
of his life.
"lt's an animal !" cried Cheerups out
loud. 'But it must be the tallest one

Then the funny head at the top of
the long neck began to nod. Up and
down it nodded and nodded.

dates. "He can hear what you say
but he can't talk. He hasn't any

looked as If it could wrap around

LA VALERIE

I A VALERIE, favorite of Louis
XIV and one of the greatest beau
ties of the French court, is so often
pictured as an adventures and a de-
liberate coquette, that few know her
real character.
Her name was Louise Francois de
La Valliere. She was born August 6.
1914. Her mother brought her to
Paris when she was sixteen, after she
had been fairly well educated and
brought up with the royal princesses
as child. A kinswoman got her the
appointment of maid Of honor to Hen
rietta, who was Louis sister-in-law.
There was some scandal about these
two, and as blind, Louis XIV was
told to pay marked attentions to some
other woman-since a princess must
never have bit of gossip whispered
about her. La Valliere then was a
pure-minded. religious girl, willing to
serve her mistress by involving her
own good name. Louis, at first forced
TO pay her attention. soon developed a
real love for her, and she, too, fell
very much in love with him. All
through the time of her connection
with him, she refused to tell what she
knew about the Princess Henrietta
and her love affairs.
La VALERIE had many enemies and
one of INDEPENDENTLY took
Louis away from her. A little later
she was allowed to enter the Carmel

and intrigue was at an end and the
peace of the convent hers until DEATH

Old English LarD
Based on Bible

Benefit of clergy" was privilege
once enjoyed by the clergy of Eng
land, whereby they were exempted
from civil punishment. The origin of
this exemption is unknown, but the
custom was probably based on the
text: Touch not mine anointed, and
do my prophets no harm" q Chron.
1922; Ps. los :15). Edward l in
1874 extended this privilege to all
laymen that could read. Such a GRIM
inal could not be put to death, but
was to be branded on the left hand.
The first verse of Psalm so was
chosen as the reading test, and hence
was known as the meek verse;" In
1891, this privilege was extended to
women. The privilege eventually be-
came dead letter; it was variously
restricted and finally in 1927 in the
reign of George w, it was abolished
altogether Kansas City Star.

Raffy nodded his head, switched his
tail and swayed his long neck back
and forth. 1t was evident that Jacky
had told his difficulty exactly.
Cheerups was thinking very hard
indeed. Then joyfully he shouted:
why, of course, it's your tongue that
can do it, If you can't talk with it.
it ought to be good for something.
Your tongue is long and slender, and
you can stretch it out for those leaves.
1t has prehensile or grasping power,
too, like the tails of the South Ameri-
can monkeys. You can pick single
leaf or even blade of grass with it.
1t can be made short or long, wide or
narrow. Now isn't that a gift to be
happy about? There's another thing,
Raffy: Sometimes the trees you feed
on are rough and thorny and hurt
your tender nose, so just close your
nostrils to protect them. You can
do it, l know"
Raffy looked delighted. He closed
his nostrils Immediately to see if he
could. Then he ran out his long
tongue and nipped off leaf high up
in the Breadfruit tree. Then he
looked at Cheerups with eyes full of
gratitude, kicked up his heels,
switched his tail joyfully and ran off
through the Jungle.
"But remember" called Cheerups
after him. that the things which are
out of reach are often no better than
those just at hand. l hope he heard
It," murmured Cheerups thoughtfully.
