We meet them, get over them, and the smoke goes up the chimney Just the same, But tribulations——they are the deep sorrow, the harrowing anguish of be- reavement, the flailing afflictions which, though time may heal the wound, leave indelibly their mark. The wealth in language of history of the world and its changes in heart and mind, the story that, to the pry- ing eye of thought often one word can unfold, is revealed to us by “trib. ulation.” The “tribulum” was the horraw or thresher employed by the Romans to separate the corm from the husks, From this “Tribulatio” was to repre sent the threshing itself, With the advent of Christianity its deepening and ennobling influences were reflected in the language of the day. Words as well as things began to be interpreted In the larger sense, A deeper insight superseded the world. liness of the classical age. Sorrow and adversity were believed to be but a means of purging, of sep- arating in man the trivial from the true, the chaff from the wheat. And because they were the Instrument of this threshing, though of the soul, the sorrows were called “tributations.” Till from the straw the flail the corn doth beat Until the chaff be purged from the when te Till those corruptions which do mis. become us Are by Thy sacred spirit winnowed from us (@® by McClure Newspaper Byndicate,) CTHE WHY of SUPERSTITIONS By H. IRVING KING GROUND-HOG DAY HE woodchuck or ground-hog. comes out of his hole on Febru ary 2. If he sees his shadow in the sun he goes back to his hibernation, and there will be six weeks more of winter. Whereas if it is cloudy and he sees not his shadow he stays out, and spring comes early. This is a pet American superstition. The woodchuck is of the squirrel fam- lly and is peculiar to America. In Eu- rope there is the same superstition with the substitution of some other hibernating animal. There is evi- dence that it was originally always some member of the squirrel family. probably the ground-squirrel, thongh in modern times In some parts of Ger- many the badger is designated. There is a saying that a German farmer would rather see a wolf enter his barn- on February 2 than the sun From early Roman times February 2 was the festival of the goddess Februa. the mother of Mars, The Latin Mars Was originally not a god of war but of agriculture, As god of agriculture a8 sun goddess was his appropriate mother. Each year on February 2 the votaries of Februa appeared with lights, endeavoring by the homeopathic magic of “like causes like” to help the sun to a renewal of its beneficient power. Pluto, the ord of the dark underworld, was the natural enemy of the sun. His story shows him to have been an active one. Those members of the squirrel family who disappeared into holes in the ground at the com. ing of winter were evidently gone to keep tryst with Pluto In his dim realm. On the day when the votarles of Februa were trying to assist the sun Pluto sent his creatures forth to work & counter spell. But If thick, protect. Ing clouds intervened they could not see the sun to work thelr magic; the magic of the votaries of Februa took effect, the creatures of Pluto knew that “the Jig was up” and there would be an early spring. Had they succeeded they would have returned for a fur ther enjoyment of Pluto's hospitality. Having falled they stay above ground to look after their own affairs, This, in brief, is the "Why" of the ground. hog superstition, There is material enough extant for an Interesting mon- ograph on the subject.
