CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY II. IRWIN G KING
A HAIR OF THE DOG

&C a HAIR of the dog that bit YOU
n is in many parts Of the country
something more than handy meta
phor signifying that that which caused
the evil will work the cure. If one
will take the trouble to investigate
he will be surprised how widespread
is still the belief that the evil effects
of dog bite may be cured by apply
ing to the wound "a hair of the dog"
And this superstition exists not only
In this country but in many others,
being as widespread in locality as it
is ancient in origin. 1t has its genesis
in the old old belief In sympathetic
magic-the close connection which the
ancients conceived to exist between
person and anything closely related to
him or constructed in resemblance
Of him and still more closely, natural
ly, between a man and any part of
him which might become severed from
| his person-such as the hair or nails
especially, living and growing parts,
of his bodily structure.
Thus the hair came to be regarded,
| even when cut off, as still, in reality
| fragment of its former wearer and,
| logically what mans hair was to a
man a dogs hair was to dog. Now
| the spital of a man, or of any other
animal belongs peculiarly to- In one
sense is part of, the man or other
animal which secretes it. Therefore,
II bitten by dog apply to the wound
hair Of the said dog and the spital
| of the dog, with all its properties for
evil, will be attracted, naturally, to
its homogeneous part, the hair, and not
injure the alien body into which 1t
has been injected That's the way
the ancients reasoned 1t cut. Modern
man does not reason it out at all, but
still practices his sympathetic magic
with hair of the dog that bit him.

A THOUGHT OF
MOTHER
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

THE world is wide, and men have
L needs,
Need all their faiths and all their
creeds
And all the wisdom of the past
To bring them safely home at last.
And many volumes / have read,
And heard the things the sages said
And vet | know another way:
A thought of Mother every day.
The world Is hard, temptations hide
By every hin and harbor side,
And men have need Of something true
To keep them clean and get them
through
But there is little room for sin
In hearts where Mother dwells within,
And this will save the sons who stray:
A thought of Mother every day.
The world is great, and great the
strife,
And crowded IS the road of life.
And men must hurry who would find
The rainbow with the gold behind.
And yet I hope that men hold fast
To something sweet from out the
past
A gentle hand, a brow Of gray,
A thought of Mother every day.
The world Is dark; when sins beset,
All, yes, when even friends forget,
And when the dream you dream In
vain,
One thought will help you bear the
pain,
One thought will help to keep you
right,
Will keep the lamp of faith alight;
One thought will aid you all the way
A thought of Mother every day.

velous influence on the course of hui
man affairs, that adds dignity to hui
manity, that glorifies the humblest
life, that strengthens the weak, In
spires the despairing, comforts the be-
reayed, that brings to the fallen the
hope and assurance of pardon, and
that unites man to God, the human to
the divine life, Is something which
honest and thoughtful men must think
about and very seriously. To think
of these things lightly or not at all,
to endeavor to put them out of ones
mind Is a great mistake, to use a very
mild term. They have been the theme
of poets, saints and sages Of all ma
tons and all religions If one can only
hope, that is something. But what Is
needed is the power of faith, the
power Of conviction. This can be had
only as the result of contact with the
risen life st. Paul understood this
and so he prayed: THAT may know
Him, and the power of His resurrec
ton, and the fellowship of His suffer
ings, being made conformable unto
His death; If by any means | might
attain unto the resurrection of the
dead. Not as though I had already
attained, either were already perfect

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WAL K E r
HOW is 1T WITH YOU?

THE wild emotional storms that
L sweep the quick-tempered from
their feet, quite often serve as warn
ings to observant youths inclined to
hold their tongues and apply their
hearts to wisdom.
But alas this does not apply to
youth as a whole. Many there are
who founder and pant through such
disturbances without giving a thought
to their meaning. They look upon the
torrential outburst with dull indiffer-
ence
Although the bridges have been
swept away and the danger signals
flash ahead, they plunge into the ruts
and splash through the mud and muck
needless of their peril.
Indeed, the greater number continue
to yield to hot-headed impulses, shaken
up bit, perhaps, if the truth were
told. but still inclined to follow their
rash bent.
These hare-brained youths are go
ing to have their fling.
They are going to show their appre
hensive fathers and mothers how
things are done In this new age how
to sport automobiles and flashy
clothes. Among their associates of
that iIk, they let it be known that
they are not counseling counsel from
their elders.
There must be no base capitulation
| to these ancient apostles Of precept
| and principle.
| They will blurt out trouble-making
words whenever and wherever they
| please. What do they care for fire.
| quent storms that ruffle the serenity
between them and their employers
The world is an open shop filled
| with good things especially for the
young, and all they have to do is to
put out their hand and grab what suits
them, just as they would crib an ap
pie from their neighbours orchard wher
the dog is not looking.
Out of every hundred of these self
willed youngsters, statistics will show
you that ninety are heading for tht
ragged days of failure.
| Each year they drop little lower
strutting in tainted society and pu
at their wits end to keep up appear
ance; still storming as in their earlier
days. but with voice less defiant.
In their calmer mood, In the still
of night when alone with their trou
bled souls. they wonder where tn
next wind will blow them
On their foreheads and in thei
shiftless eyes is written the momen
tous word. FAILURE! and they knos
Nthat everybody can read it.

Their simple beauty Ger the sod.
Content to droop the white belled head
In modest friendship with clod.
Yon neighbor rose is fair of face.
Bright clad in coiors of the morn,

And guards that splendor with a

With patient hope the life of spring,
Nor do lbt that heaven soon or late
