GEORGIE, THE FROG
Tous hung on to the Wind, who
was taking him for a trip, and all
time the Wind flew along; he
whistled gayly.
But the trip was not a long one,
even during his early adventures. In
no time at all they were at the moun-

The trip hadn't really taken so long,
after all. Of course he had been enor-
mously helped by this lift, which the
Wind had given him. Still, it hadn't
been so hard—save for the time he
had almost stayed by the lake below.
After he had made up his mind to
come further, it had been easy.
Now he was at the top of the moun-

“Georgie, meet Tommy."
“Goog-a-room,” said Georgie, “make

The Wind had gone off agaln. and
Tommy was sitting by the edge of the
pond, very near the stump. He thought
he must have misunderstood the frog.

CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
BIRDS AND DEATH
a A bird alights upon a person's
head that person will die.” “If a
bird alights on a sick person's bed the
sick person will die.” These are two
of the many superstitions common in
this country regarding birds with
which superstitious people make them.
selves unbappy. They might spare
themselves this unhappiness did they
but know that the superstitions In
question are merely survivals of the
Pythagorean doctrine of the transmi-
gration of souls changed info evil
omens by that morbid strain so com-
mon in man’s mental makeup.
“What is the opinion of Pythagorus
concerning wild fowl?" asks the clown
in Twelfth Night. To which Malvolie
replied “That the soul of your grand.
ma might happily inhabit a bird."
Many savage peoples today are as
wise as Pythagorus and believe that
the souls of the dead frequently en-
ter birds. George [I promised the
Duchess of Kendal—one of his left.
handed widows—that he would come
to her after death if possible and soon
after his demise a great raven flew
in at the window of the duchess’ villa
at Wickenham, She chose to Imagine
that the king's spirit was in the sable
bird and took special care of her vis
itor. Thackeray wonders—for those
birds are very longlived—if her heirs
took the bird to Hanover and whether
“it Is still flapping its wings about
Herrenhausen.” The connection be.
tween the doctrine of the migration
of souls into birds and the foretelling
of death by the alighting of a bird
upon a person's head, or a sick per
son's bed is clear. The alighting of
the bird is a presentation of the re-
ceptacie for the soul, as it were.

Humorous Americans
“The saving grace of Americans,”
said a Russian visitor, "is thelr sense
of humor. Without this they would
crack from the severe competitive
strain that sends them scurrying about
the streets at such a mad rate. But
Americans can always stop to laugh,
and in so doing they provide them
selves with the relaxation they would
not ordinarily get, This sense of hu

to sour milk is to place a bucket of
