IRVING KING THE HEART OF A LOVER HOULD a maiden have two young men who are “paying her Sten. tion" and desire to ascertain th eul state of their hearts with herself, let of the two young men and then cross out all the letters common to both of the names. Having done this touch the uncrossed in each of the names repeating in turn: “love, friend. ship, hate” and the last uncrossed let- ter in a name will Indicate by the word which falls upon it the state of the heart of the name's owner. For instance take John and Thomas Cross out the “0” and the “h" in each name. Then begin with John say, touch the “J” and say “love.” touch the “n” and say “friendship.” John has only friendship for you. Then as to Thomas. Touch the “T" and say “love,” the “m" and say “friendship,” the “a” and say “hate,” the “8s” and say “love.” John has a friendship for you—John loves you. In “working” this “charm.” however, the whole name should be written out. This supersti- tion which the researches of the Amer lean Folk-Lore society reveal as being especially presalent in Canada and in some parts of the United States Is an- other case of the survival of nomancy divining by names, a magic based on that primitive conception by which man's name was regarded as an in- tegral part of the man's ego. It Is a part of the belief of all savage tribes today and the polished nations of the classic period still retained so much of belief in it that nomancy was one of their most favorite methods of divina. tion, In the superstition under considera. tion the crossing out of the letters common to both names is clearly with the idea of reducing each name to its greatest degree of Individuality or, as it were, for the purposes of greater differentiation, John's name Is John himself; Thomas’ name. {8 Thomas himself.

Sheltering Machinery Most Profitable Plan The actual monetary loss in depre ciation of farm machinery left un. housed through all sorts of weather is only one form of loss the owner of the machinery suffers, says J, C Wooley, chairmmm of the department of agricultural engineering of the Mis gouri College of Agriculture. In fact, the loss from a poor quality of work, loss of time when time Is valuable, loss of crops, and the loss of energy, and temper which results from struggle with a rust-laden machine is often a greater factor than the moue tary loss in depreciation of machine, Sugar-Beet Growers Profit by Research omnes Application of Fertilizer In- creases Va [alue of Crop. the United States Department of Agriculture.)
