WITCH-HAZEL FLOWERS
«IN THE fall of the year," said the
Sandman, “there are yellow flow-
ers to be seen on bushes which have
large and thick leaves,
“These flowers are alongside of the
twigs of these bushes and they are
known as the Witch-Hazel flowers.
“There are some that flower In the
spring but the ones of which I'm

“Aiss Witch-Hazel Bush was dressed

CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
GOATS AND HEALTH
§ —————
tele
fairly
A SUPERSTITION
in this country and pract
universal in England as well as in cer
tain continental countries of Europe,
is that, if one keeps other animals, it
is a good thing to have a goat or two
The goats keep the oth-

er animals healthy.
his is in accordance with the char.
acter assigned the goat as a bearer of
the afflictions and sins of others from
time immemorial, Witness the scape-
goat of the Jews, Among the early
races of India goats were sacrificed
by the thousand at certain festivals as
offerings to the deities of the lower
cenit” and the goat as a substitute for
the human sacrifice of a boy was of-
fered to Dionysus, the wine-god, by
the Greeks. In being thus sacrificed
it will be seen the goat played his
characteristic part, a part well ex-
pressed by a modern slang phrase
voleing an old idea. When anyone is
made to bear the blame for the dere.
Setions of others we say, “He Is the
goat,” or “It seems I am the goat”
So we can see why It 1s well to have
a goat or two about the place to take
upon themselves the diseases which
otherwise might be attached to the
other olin animals and to absorb
our bad luck. And the goat is especial
ly dedicated to “heing the goat” for
animals from the fact that he is sa-
ered to the great god Pan, the god of
the fields and farms and of the flocks
and herds, In fact Pan was repre
gented In Greek art as having the
upper part of his Indy like that of an
elderly man while the lower part was
like the hind quarters of a goat.

Some persons start the
life with the idea that
upon luck and chance,
in life's undertakings it is because fa-
vorable circumstances created oppor.
tunities, Failure is due to the
sence of a chance; and that chance
is a matter of sheer luck
Those who have succeeded In life
know the folly of thiz argument
Their experience has taught them that
opportunities are not created for peo-
ple so much as people create their
own opportunities. The man who sits
down and walts for something to turn
up soon finds failure staring him in
the face.
The person who saccecds in life Is
the one who is prepared to seize the
opportunity after he creates it. Many
persons have splendid chances but
they lack the ability to take advan.
tage of them. The successful man is
the ready man, ready with the neces
sary materials at his hand.
Fifteen minutes of time have decid
ed the fate of many an adventurer.
Opportunities come on the wing, In
the flash of the moment, sometimes
only after a long period of time spent
in ereating them. He is a wise man
who 1s able to recognize an opportu.
nity even after he has succeeded In
creating it.
Whatever is worth having in this
world costs something. The most ex-
pensive price one can pay for life's
success lies not in creating an op
portunity but in preparation for It
There 1s no short cut to the shining
goal of success, This preparation con.
sists not only In becoming conversant
with the principles of our chosen pro-
fession and how to apply them, but in
making human contacts, In order to
succeed with people we must first know
them. Much time is given to the study
of arts and sclences, but too little to
the study of personality or which
some call the human soul. This is a
basic value, for upon It everything
else depends, We get out of life no
more than we put Into it

tributed to Archimedes, the Syracuse
philosopher, upon discovering a meth
od of determining the parity of the
gold in King Hiero's crown,
The story is that Hiero delivered a
cortain weight of gold to a workman
to be made into a votive crown, but
suspecting that the workman had al-
loyed the gold with an inferior metal,
asked Archimedes to test the crown.
The philosopher went to bathe and In
stepping Into the bath, which was
quite full, noticed that some of the
water ran over, It immediately struck
him that a body must remove its own
bulk of water when Immersed. When
the idea flashed across his mind, the
philosopher jumped out of the bath
exclaiming, “Eureka, Eureka,” and
then ran home to try his experiment
on the crown, He reasoned, silver is
lighter than gold, therefore a pound-
welght of silver will be more bulky
than a pound-weight of gold, and bee
ing of greater bulk will remove more
water,
Hence “Eureka” signifies an expres.
sion of triumph concerning a discov.
ery. It is also the motto of the state
of California.~Anna 8. Turnquist,
