MR. HUNGER WOLF
M «. FOX and two of his neighbors
were sitting around the place

Mr. Fox had been sitting quietly

fou may be certain he was not think-

It had suddenly occurred to him
that he had heard his grandfather tell
R story about old Mr.
that always appeared to the wood folk
when th,

“Yes,” spoke up Mr. Fox, “it does
em mighty hard on us folks here
mn the woods these long cold winters
and of course that is the very
that old Mr. Hunger Wolf gets In his
work.”

BUBBLES AND MONEY
N THIS country and Canada a com-
mon superstition is that bubbles
floating on a cup of tea or coffee sig-
nifies that money is coming to you. In
some sections it Is considered neces
sary to try and take up the bubbles in
a spoon; you will have as many dol-
lars as you can catch bubbles. This
is a remnant of the anclent magic art
of hydromancy, divination by a cup
of water as practiced by Joseph In
Egypt. See Genesis 44:5. Water
was used for divination by the Egyp-
tians because Isis was sometimes re-
garded as the earth when fecundated
by the waters of the Nile and a vessel
of water was therefore carried In her
processions. In ancient times any
troubling of the waters, in a pool or In
a cup, was considered of significance.
In modern necromancy the coffee cup
has succeeded to the divining cup of
Joseph and tea and coffee to the fe.
cundating waters borne before Isls. But
as of old, the bubbles rising in our di-
vining cup mean something. ;
But why money? Because the in.
fluence of Egyptian mythology upon
Ropumn mythology was strong and
though the cult of Isis was but slight.
ly identified with the cult of Juno; yet
Isle wos the chief of the Egyptian god-
desses as Juno was the chief of the
Roman goddesses,
So it Is the breath of Juno that rises
in bubbles In our coffee cups and
Juno, under her name of Moneta,
means money. Doubtless when the an-
clent Romans practiced this rite with
