THE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
BABY ON THE TABLE

COME old-fashioned nurses strongly
- object to having anyone pick up
the baby and lay him on the table in
their sportive moods. The old-fash-
ioned nurse regards it as an omen of
death This superstition Is merely one
arising from the sympathetic magic
of association coupled with the fact
the folklore fact-that young child
has its soul as yet very loosely em.
bodied in its body and is, therefore,
extremely liable to the operation of
all sorts of magical influences; which
idea appears in hundreds of supersti-
tions The baby laid out on the table
suggests the baby laid out in death
and, as we know, in a sympathetic
magic an association of ideas is liable
to bring about an association fact
1t is very simple thing to pick up
the baby and playfully lay him on the
table and such an act ought not to be
considered ominous; but to the really
superstitious the most ordinary action
may become a portent of evil and this
superstition well illustrates the say
ing of Addison: 1--WE suffer as much
from trif1ing accidents as from real
evils. A screech-Owl at midnight has
alarmed family more than a band
of robbers; nay the voice of cricket
has struck more terrors than roar
ing lion. There is nothing so incon-
siderable which may not appear dread
full to mind that is filled with omens
and prognostics. rusty nail or
crooked pin shoot up into prodigies."

uHO SAID
"ServiIity Is to devotion
what hypocrisy Is to virtue"

THE author of this condemnation Of
the fawning servility of the times,
was woman-Delphine Gay Girardin,
famous novelist Of France, the daugh-
ter Of a novelist, and the wife Of
journalist and politician of France,
Emile de Girardin.
The mother of Madame Girardin was
Madame Sophie Gay, French author
ess who was born In Paris the same
year as the signing Of the American
Declaration of Independence, 1776.
She was at first married to financier,
but six years later divorced him to
marry Monsieur Gay, who was the re-
ceiver general under the French en-
pire. The salon of this noted woman
Of letters was the resort Of the leading
literary people of the period. Madame
Gay died In Paris in 1852.
The husband of Madame Girardin
was born In Switzerland In the year
1902. He was connected politically
and as promoter with many different
papers and periodicals in France. The
most successful of these was a news
paper, La Presse, which voiced the
conservative opinions Of the day. So
violent were the controversies fought
out in the columns of this sheet that
duel was precipitated between Girar-
din and Armand Carrel which proved
fatal to the latter.
In politics, Madame Girardin's hus-
band played many parts and once he
was fined 5000 francs for an attack
made on the imperial government In
the newspaper, La Liberte.
Madame Girardin was born in 1904
and died in 1855. Her best known
works are: lie Lorgnon," lie Mar
quis de Pantanges," la Came de M.
Balzac," "Il ne Faut Pas Jouer avec
Douleur," and Marguerite" In addi-
ton she contributed to her husbands
newspaper, La Presse.-Wayne D. Nc

AUDREY

a UDREY is closely allied with Ethel.
"A Both signify "noble threatener,"
since they have their origin with the
Anglo-Saxon feminine name Ethel
dred or Aethelthryth, which in turn
comes from the German Ediltrud,
noble maiden.
The first Audrey Of note was the
Anglo-Saxon Saint Audry. She was in
reality Queen Aethelthryth who was
rather an unsuccessful wife and re-
tired to a monastery, later being
canonized as st. Etheldreda. She was
revered as st. Audry and many fairs
are given in her honor by the peas
antry. It is said that the garish little
articles sold at these fairs have given
rise to the term "tawdry."
Because of her sanity reputation,
the name of Audry reached high es-
tate of popularity In England and has
never ceased to be In common usage.
Particularly Of late has 1t been re-
vived and set to rival its counterpart,
Ethel. Addy, which is commonly be-
lieved to be the contraction of Ade-
iaide, Is really the Devonian diminu-
tive Tor Audrey.
The agate is Audrey's talismanic gem.
1t is believed to have the power to
draw success and good fortune to its
wearer, and to guard her from all
harm. Monday is her lucky day and
her lucky number.

Now, Mr.. Frog was all ready to
leap into the water. But when Fred

changed his mind.

"very well, then!" Freddie Firefiy
replied. 'Ill say what l was going

"Oh, 1t doesn't" the tailor echoed.
"Then I don't know that I care to

Pirate and Millionaire

IF THESE pirate yarns were but fic-
1 tion and the sort of fiction which
carries moral, in that good is always
triumphant and evil always ignemini-
pusly defeated, then would they all
end the same way-with the pirate
leader mounting the gallows with the
bitter knowledge that his pirating did
not pay, either financially or in the
mental satisfaction Of successful en-
deavor. But since they are simple
chronicles of fact, those who read
them for moral must sometimes be
disappointed.
Consider the case of Capt. John
Bowen. He did not die on the gal
lows. His pirating was profitable, i'm
mensely SO, and so long as history
has any record of him he was enjoy
ing his gains, ill-gotten though they
were. Perhaps there was certain
element Of poetic justice in this, for
he started on his career by the cap
ture Of French vessel, the Speaker,
owned by an English company engaged
in the infamous slave trade.
After taking this prize Captain
Bowen and his "merrie companye"
began raiding in the South seas from
Bengal to Madagascar, Then his YES
sci went on the rocks off Mauritius
but the shipwrecked pirates found
an unexpected friend in the Dutch
governor of the island who supplied
food and medical supplies for the
marooned freebooters. For three
months they enjoyed his hospitality
and then Bowen sailed away.
Whatever else he may have been,
Bowen was not ungrateful, for his
parting gift to the Dutch governor
was $500 pieces of eight and the
wreck of the Speaker with all its
guns and stores. Upon arriving at
Madagascar, which by this time (1701)
was notorious rendezvous for
pirates, he built town and fort to
protect it. Soon afterwards two ships,
ignorant of the character of the place,
came inte port and you may be sure
that Bowen took advantage of this
providential visit. He seized the two
vessels and again went "a-pyrating."
Bowen held strategic position In
his headquarters at Madagascar, for
the trade upon the South seas was
rich A quick dash from his town to
intercept some clumsy merchantmen
laden with a valuable cargo and then
he and his fellows were back enjoy
ing their loot. 1t is estimated that
In short time this pirate had taken
more than million dollars In money
as well as great quantities of valua-
BILE merchandise. Then he wisely de-
cided that it was time to quit. So he
and his men settled down among the
friendly Dutch (who no doubt enjoyed
their share of the captains loot) on
Mauritius and there died in peace.
