ABOUT TWO-YEAR-OLDS
CS VERY one is, at one time of his

one reaches that age not at the same
time as every one else, but after hav.

in the world.
No one who has deen in the world
years can ever be two years old again,
Nor enn anyone who has only been in
the world a year and a half suddenly,
pver night, become two years old.
There are no handicaps in this race.
No one is allowed to be ahead of one's
time. But every one can get as much
into the time as possible—some more
than others.

LORD AND LADY
SKED to guess at the origin of the
words “Lord and Lady” one
would choose an exalted derivation
ut the mill of research grinds on
—let the chips fall where they may!
What disillusionment to the bearers
of the titles to learn that a “lord.”
from the Anglo-Saxon “hiaford™ was
originally simply “keeper of the loaf”
“hiaford” meaning literally “bread
keeper.” And since the original lord
of the manor fed his tenants at his
board or from his hoard, since he was
their only source of supply, the pame
was not inappropriate,
“Lady,” too, it is interesting to note
has a similar derivation-—-the “giver
of the loaf” or mistress of the house

CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
DIVINING BYTEA GROUNDS
fragments of tea leaves remain
ing in the cup after the tea has been
drunk is a polite form of sorcery with
which we are all familiar. Doubtless
you can think of at least one woman
of your acquaintance who is particu
larly expert at It,
Having imbibed your tea, turn the
cup upside down in the saucer and
whirl it around three times Turn
the cup rightside up again and ex
amine the leaf fragments clinging to
bottom and sides. There lles your
future.
In this magic we have a double
header—a combination of two ancient
systems of divination, hydromancy
and ceromancy.
Hydromancy was much practiced in
ancient Egypt. A bowl or cup was
filled with water and a selected per
son, generally a young boy, gazed
into It until he berume hypnotized
and “saw things” when the hypnotist
magician interpreted what the boy
thought he saw. [It was the same
trick which the strolling magicians
of North Afrien perform today by
means of a drop of ink In a boy's
hand and which many travelers have
witnessed. When Joseph sent his
messengers to find his silver cup In
Benjamin's sack he instructed them to
say: “Is not this my lord's cup In
which my lord drinketh and wherein
he divineth? Hence the mystic qual
ities of the cup.
The signification of the tea leaves
is an echo of ceromancy which econ
sisted of dropping melted wax into
water and divining by the forms the
wax assumed In cooling.
Ceromancy is a very old art but tea
wag only Introduced into Europe in
the Seventeenth century, yet the prim.
itive mind, still subsisting in man, at
means of foretelling the future as that
same mind had seized upon the melted
wax some thousands of years before.
