Facts about your name; its history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day, lucky jewel JRVINQ KINQ FLOATING NEEDLES This Is an old and common form of divination In most rural localities and Is born of the ancient, primitive or magic of names, and of ordinary sympathetic magic. As has been stated the ancients regarded a mans name as practically the ego of the man. If an enemy got hold of a mans name he could hoodoo the man by hoodooing his name. Practically all peoples living in a primitive state today hold this belief of nomancy. Now when the needles are given the names of persons they become, for all magical purposes, the persons themselves. If the needles magically the persons whose names are used float together then by the simple operation of homeopathic magic like producing like so will the real persons come together In marriage ; if they dont, they wont. This Superstition Is a good example of the survival of a piece of primitive magic, unaltered and unornamented, from the earliest times.

The former title Is the correct one and boars complete individual existence apart from Helen ; yet the two names are frequently considered identical and Interchangeable. Helena was really the name most noted among all the Greeks, not Helen. It comes direct from the Greek masculine name Helenos, meaning light or bright But when Aeschylus, playing upon the word, made it come from the Greek terra signifying it seemed the direct equivalent of Helen.

Rich? asked the House Detective. A widow," answered the girl as if that explained it. "A live husband Is a necessity," she went on, but a dead one Is a luxury. That ladybird has all the advantages of being married and none of the handicaps. The only imperfection of widowhood is that you have to take a chance on matrimony to reach It. A woman always has to pay for any happiness she has in the world while men are lords of creation from the day they announce the glad tidings to their friends that Its a boy! A widow is as lucky as' an only child. She can go anywhere she pleases and do what she pleases with nobody to tell her where she must get off. A single girl has to consider what he will say when he comes. She Is always looking for that day when Mr. Right will arrive. Her conduct is regulated by the Impression her doings will make on him. But with the widow he has come and gone and left his bank roll and she Is all jake. There Is a funny streak In all good women. They all like to be considered little devils. The widow accomplishes it by simply being a widow, so that adds to her happiness, too. "There Is nothing any woman likes so much as aggravating other women. All the single girls hate a widow because she has accomplished something they have not been able to get away with and all the married women look through the wires and envy the widow because she not only gets the cheese but got out of the trap also. The widows life road is a good road everywhere and she rolls along without a single valve tap.

When all things are considered, the contentions of the armies and the Intentions of the lone Individual, the silent conflict is frequently the more difficult of the two. Accustomed for years to look on pernicious habits with complacency, the thoughtful man or woman frequently awakens to the terrible wreck he or she is making of opportunity and life. There is horn in an Instant a resolve to break the trammels, to pull away from perilous positions and seek a new haven of peace and safety.

Hitherto the man or woman had found it good policy to drift along blindly, but now, In the new light, all tilings are changed. That which was seductive is now repulsive, hateful, horrible.

And if the shackled soul be true to itself, true to the faith which was born in a night, tills fine spark of nobility will eventually find the freedom it craves, for there is nothing Impossible to him or her who can outride the shadow of doubt. The ride may be hazardous, up dizzy elevations, down dismal gulfs, over treacherous quicksands, through lands of temptations and snared pits of iniquity, but the clean, cool summit in the distance is waiting with .outstretched arms to bestow on him or her who presses on in belief, the unspeakable peace for which the silent conflict Is waged.

Were called Secretary birds because of some quills we have back of our ears. They remind people of secretaries, who are people who write and who put pens' behind their ears. But we dont have to write, nor do we have to think. Besides I said It was time for dinner. I didnt have to think It or know It. I said it!

The Secretary birds have feathery bodies, but they are quite tall. Their legs are thin like the legs oi hens and roosters, and extremely, ex tremely long. They have marvelous strength in their feet and they alwrnys fight will their feet. They are also fast runners. When people have indigestion, said Jimmie, they go on diets.
