Habit-forming drugs may be perfect

People who are thus enslaved think

disease from use of the drug.
Frequently an overpowering dose of
the drug carries them off suddenly.
People are differently affected by
the same drug at different times. A
dose of morphine has more effect on
an empty stomach than when the
stomach is busy digesting food, and

HATTIE

THOUGH somewhat provincial, Hat
= tie is none the less popular as a
FEMININE name. 1t Is nice, comfort
able, coy sort Of name without
rrllls or ornamentation. It means
"home-rule.:'" though 1t comes orig
inally from Teutonic mythology, it has
elements OF the modern attitude toward
home Even In their heathenism, the
guardian of the dwelling of the grave
spirits Of the dead. known as Helm
dell. was regarded as the home
ruler'-"true to the kindred points
of heaven and home"
BY various stages, through the Ger
man Heinz, the French Henri and the
English Henry and Harry, the femi-
nine of this interesting name was
evolved in the Sixteenth century. II
made Its first appearance in France In
the house Of Stuart de Aubigne. Vari-
Gus feminines OF Henri were popular
in the court Of Katherine de Medici.
In the form of Henrietta, the name
made Its appearance in England with
the daughter Of Henri Nv OF France
and 1t was descendants of this good
queen who carried the name through
successive steps until it reached the
quaint diminutive Hattie.
Jet is Hattie's talismanic stone. For
her it is not symbol OF sorrow but
talisman against grief. Friday is her
lucky day and her lucky number.

Urging on the Elements

troupe in Virginia town barely in
time to give the customary street
parade before the hour of the mat
inee. Quilted for marching, the
company piled off the train to find
awaiting them at the depot a large
reception committee of negroes.
Every darby in the crowd was
anxious to get the job of carrying one
of the show banners, not alone for
the sake of the free pass paid in ex-
change for the duty but for the added
glory of taking part in the pro

This was small and struggling

AS he started proudly up the street,
with the flagpole resting in the pit of
his stomach, a stiff breeze caught the
banner and 1t balied like a sail, al

his feet and forcing him to back and

dHE WHY Of
SUGGESTIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
RATS

HE popular saying Rats desert a
sinking Ship" imperfectly describes
the superstition to which it is sup
posed to give expression. The belief
OF sailors-and Of many who are not
sailors-is that when a ship is in port
and the rats suddenly swarm ashore
forsaking her, that ship, in all prob-
ability, will go down on her next vow
age. Many ship has been held for
long weeks in port wanting crew, the
old crew having refused to reship be-
cause the rats had been seen leaving
the vessel as she lay at her dock.
A common explanation of the super
stition is that It has a foundation in
: physical fact. A ship in bad repair
pnseaworthy-is damp down below
aud the rats desert to dryer quarters
ashore. And leaky ship is, Of course,
most likely to go down if she encoun-
ters heavy weather.
Sut sailors scout this explanation
and will tell you that well-found ships
eye as likely to go down as any others
u the rats desert them-which is NOT

tim of the superstition. unromanuc
end unclassical as it is, Is undoubted.
~ the true one. But chat innate pro
tlivity for superstition which pertains

In particular, prefers to see mys-
ferrous omen in the desertion OF shin
