PLANTING GOURDS
Observation-Disclosures

a CCORDING to the Journal OF
A American Folklore Society there
exists in Tennessee a quite common
belief that in order to raise a good
crop of gourds a certain ceremony is
necessary with regard to the seed be-
fore it is planted. Perhaps the same
superstition exists in other parts OF
the country. 1t is most interesting
superstition and suggests survival
from devil worship or at least an ap-
peal to the "gods of the underworld"
The gourd seeds must be thrown
over the left shoulder by the man who
is to plant them and he must utter an
oath as each seed is thrown. 1t will
be noticed that the direction in which
the seeds are thrown is from right to
left or against the sum-" movement
which typifies retrogression into the
realm of the spirits of darkness as the
ceremonial circuit" or sunwise move
ment typified progress in conformity
with the sun-god. the giver of life and
light, the benefcent influence.
Instead of being planted with a
nrayer for increase to the beneflcent
sun-god the seed is planted with bias
phemy calculated to appeal to the
mowers of evil, those gods whose dark
Plutonian realm was conceived as
lying in subterranean regions land
therefore, naturally gods fitting to be
appealed to in behalf of seeds con-
signed to a dark and subterranean

There is no more delight in the old
chase, no joyous inspiration in seek
ing to excel our own best eff0rts.
We have become inert and indif-
ferent. To make an unusual gesture il
wearisome to the flesh. To lure from
its lair some great idea which shall set
the world agog is impossible, for we
are descending to the lowlands where
resourcefulness has persisted and hope
lies buried beyond our reach
AS compared with eternity, life Is
but an existence of moment, but 1t
is our duty to make the best of it by
being always active in climbing the
high hills, which take us little nearer
the heavens.
And when we close our eyes in the
final sleep we shall have the sweet
consciousness of having never turned
back, having never lost our faith nor
hesitated in the doing of our duties
as we understood them, though at
times the paths were hard and our
hearts were troubled with doubts and

CLAIRE was originally masculine

Norman family who came from one
of the villages Of ST. Clair. "Red De
Clare" stout Gloucester's earl, the foe
of Henry III, was one of them.
The son of Red De Clare married
into the House of Geraldin in Ireland
and received from Edward / a grant
of lands, now known as County Glare.
His heiress carried the county to the
De Burghs and their heiress married
Lionel, son of Edward III. thus max
ing the county dukedom and Great
ing the title, the duke of Clarence.
The feminine form is said to have
arisen in Italy as Chiara and spread
into France, where it was immediately
changed into Claire. Though prefer
ring the, original Clare, the English ac-
cepted Claire and it gained some vogue
there. but in this country it was
adopted with enthusiasm and has un-
dergone widespread usage.
The diamond is Claire's talismanic
level. 1t promises her brilliant at
tainments, magnetism. and courage.
