SCISSORS
N MOST sections of
scissors falling
the country
on the floor and
coming open wide—lying In the form
of a Greek cross—Iis considered an
omen of dire import. Some even con-
sider it as a prognostic of a death In
From ancient times shears
—or scissors—have been considered as
possessed of more or less mystic qual-
ities, a considerable part of such repu-
tation probably arising from the fact
that, being made of iron, they neces
sarily attached to them the super-
natural qualities of that metal. The
fact that they could cut, or sever, also
gave them, by the homeopathic magic
of “like causes like” a potentiality for
working evil. With a pair of scissors
the ancient magicians worked a charm
of black magic against bridegrooms,
and with the idea of giving her a dose
of her own medicine a witch was
branded with a pair of scissors upon
the forehead-—*"above the breath.”
Now a pair of scissors open is a
pair of scissors prepared for action,
ready to work evil magic by cutting
or severing. Hence when they fall
open of themselves they mean mis
chief-—-they are prepared to cut the
strands of fortune,
The latter idea Is Inherited directly
from the fact that in Greek mythology
Atropos, one of the three fates, se
vered with a pair of scissors the
thread of life which her sisters spun
and measured. In Roman mythology
it was the same. The cult of the
Parcae disappeared amid the ruins of
the Roman world; but the scissors of
Atropos, lying open upon the kitchen
floor, are still capable of giving a
farmer's wife the “shivers”

“A HOT TIME IN THE OLD
TOWN TONIGHT”
HE story is told that this song
was so popular with our soldiers
during the Spanish-American war that
the Spaniards In Cuba were con-
vinced that our national authem was
named “There'll Be a Hot Time In the
Old Town Tonight!”
We have an anecdote, too, with re
gard to its name in Europe at that
time. In describing the entrance of
the American troops into Manila, after
its surrender, a leading Parisian jour
nal related with the utmost gravity
that the bands played the two na.
tional hymns of the United States
“The Star Spangled Banner” and
“There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight,” which they translated
8 “Il fera chaud dans Ia vielle ville
ce soir,” literally, “It will be warm
in the old city this evening”
It was doubtless because of its frol.
fesome tune and gay lines that this
song achieved the great popularity
which made it the best known song
during the- Spanish-American war.
Most of the songs of the day being of
the doleful, sentimental ballad type,
like “Just Break the News to Mother”
and “Good-Bye, Dolly Gray,” it is not
surprising that the soldiers liked “A
Hot Time in the Old Town.”
Although it was the fame of the
song during the Spanish-American war
probably, which gave it its per
manent piace among American songs,
it was not in wartime circumstance
that it had its origin; the war
rather, fell helr to it. The song had
its debut In 1808 with the then famous
Mcintyre & Heath minstrels, its au.
thor being Joe Hayden, a member of
the company and the music for it be.
ing composed by Theodore A. Mets,
the orchestra conductor,
In addition te singing the song, the
Mcintyre & Heath company rendered
it as a march for a year and sub
sequently the melody was featured
by the MeNish
troupe and the famous George
Thatcher minstrels, It was fairly
well Intrenched as a popular song
when the Spanish-American war
broke out and the expeditionary
troops made it internationally famous,
