Parents' Problems
Is it likely to make a little girl of
4 tomboyish to dress her in summer
in such suits as little boys of that
age wear?.
There is no reason' why' such cos
tumes should make a little girl of 4
tomboyish, and she will be so much
more comfortable in them than in
dresses. On Sunday, perhaps, she
might wear a dainty dress, both as
a reminder of the day and of the fact

Where It Started
The Grain As a Unit of Weight.
- The old English pound was the
weight of 7,680 grains of wheat, "all
taken from the middle of the ear."
This would make an ounce equal the
weight of 480 grains, lit avordupois
weight the standard is different; but
in Troy weight there are still 480
grains to the ounce, which make
the origin of the name obvioos.

SLEEPY-TIME TALES
THE TALE OF
GRUNTY
PIG
:THUR SCOTT BAILEYi
CHAPTER XXIV.
A Pig in the Parlor.
Grunty Pig had got out of his pen
and iput of the piggery too. Ever
since his talk with Moses Moue
the day before he had been hoping
for a chance to ecape. And huff-
ling across the farmyard somewhat
Moses Mouse tried not to look
6tartled
heavily for he was growing longer
and taller and fatter every day
Cirunty went straight to the wood
shed door. It was open. And he
walked through it. There he clat
tered over the woodshed floor and
peered into the kitchen. There was
no one there.
For a few moments Grunty stood
sniffing in the doorway. A delicious
odor greeted him. lie wasn't sure
what it was. A pair sat near the
edge of the table. And Grimly Pig
had no trouble upsetting it with his
nose.
Doughnuts rolled in every direc
tion crisp, brown, freshly fried
doughnuts. And Grunty Pig showed
that he was thoughtful. He went
to the trouble of picking them all
up off the floor. But he forgot to
drop them back ainto the pan. In
stead, he put every one of them into
his own mouth. .
"That Moses. Mouse was all
wrong," he murmured.,: "He com
plained of the food here.' When. I
sec him I'll have to tell him that he,
was mistaken.-. Why, I never ate
anything that tasted better than
these rings I"
After making sure, that there was
nothing else for him to devour in
the kitchen Grunty Pig pushed
through a door that stood ajar. He
found himself in a long, dimly light
ed hall. There were doors on both
sides of it. Grunty nosed around
each one in turn. Not till he came
to the last of all, at the further end
of the hall, did he find, one that
wasn't shut tight. This door yielded
to a little gentle pushing. And
Grunty then found, himself though
he did not know it in the parlor of
the farmhouse. ,
As he, .stood still and gazed about
him, who should come stealing into
the room bit Moses Mouse. ,
"Ahl" said Moses in a whisper.
"So you've arrived at last?"
"Yes!" said Grunty Pig. "Isn't
this a fine pen? Now that I've come
to the farmhouse to live I. believe
I'll make this pen my headquarters."
"That's a good idea," Moses
Mouse told him. "Farmer Green's
family don't use it often. They
seldom come here unless they have
company." .
While he listened, Grunty Pig
sidled up to a table in the center of
the room .and began, in an absent
minded fashion 'to rub his back
against it. To his surprise, the table
tipped over and a lamp that had
stood upon it crashed into a hun
dred pieces on the floor. Then a
door slammed somewherei And
steps sounded in the hall.
Moses Mouse tried not to look
startled. . : : ;
"I must be going now,! he said
abruptly. "I'll see you later." Then
he dashed into the fireplace and ran
up the chimney, f
"The accident was really your
fault," Grunty called to him. "If
you hadn't talked so much I'd have
noticed what I was doing."
Moses Mouse, however, did not
reply. And a moment later Farmer
Green's wife appeared in the door
way. When she saw Grunty Pig
she gave a scream. Mrs. Green
couldn't help being surprised at
first. But soon she began to laugh as
if she would never stop.
"A pig in our parlor I" she cried.
"Who ever would have thought it?"
Grunty Pig tried to explain that
the broken lamp was really Moses
Mouse's fault. But Mrs. Green
wouldn't listen. She ran out of the
room and came back at once with
a broom in her hand. Then, open
ing the 1 front door, . she " drove
Grunty Pig into the yard.
"Now, I wonder why Mrs. Green
put me out of the farmhouse," he
muttered. . . .
Suddenly an idea popped into his
head. ."It must be," he cried, "be
cause. I told tales. I tattled on
Moses Mousej and Mrs. Green didn't
like it Next time I'll be" careful
about what I say to her." .
There never was a next time.
Perhaps Farmer Green took pains to
keep the door of Grunty's pen shut.
Perhaps' Farmer Green made the
fence outside the piggery , "hog
tight," as he would say. Or per
haps Grunty Pig grew so fat that
he couldn't squeeze through any or
dinary opening. ,
AnyJjow, Grunty never set foot , in
side the farmhouse again. After a
while he didn't care. The bigger he
was, the less he , liked , to roam
about. '; And at, last Farmer Green
began calling him his "Prize Hog.'
So you can see how very fat he
most have been. ' .
, (THE END.) .
s Tomorrow begins another set of
Bailey tales with "Old Dog Spot," as
the herd. Spot was ' never tcso old
for pranks, but always ready for a
frotic with Johnnie Green, whether
swimming, chasing wood -chucks,
teasing the cat, or even .going to the
circus.

Yet when he says that winter time
Invariably brum abatement
, Of all the bct-knovMi forms of crime
We're sure lie cannot prove his statement.
In summer time the hobo bask
Hetide a stream, nor thinks of pillage,
' ' When he needs food he merely ak
A hand-out from the nearby tillage.
But when the winter breeze blows cold
And when the stream no longer Rurli',
Hi hunger in him makes him bold,
And, moving into town, he burgles.
. In summer time the sun dclas
The hour of the shadows' falling,
And so the footpad limli the day
Too long to ply his risky railing.
But when it's dark at half-past five
He has abundant time to work in,
And you and I mtit look alive
' To dodge the corners he may lurk in.
1 "Heat stirs the blood and nukes men act,'"
Declares our wise academician,
Which isn't true in point of fact
It takes away a man's ambition.

When fields are green and skies a(c luy,
The crook is hulUpourd to crime
Of any sort he feci too lazy!

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVING KING.
- Mourning Garments.
A wide-spread superstition in the
United States and one found in
some sections of Canada is that for
one who is not himself "in mourn
ing' to try on any article of mourn
ing attire is an omen of a death be
fore the year is out, of some one
who is so near to him that he will
have occasion to wear mouring him
self. In some sections it is the try
ing on of a hat or bonnet of one in
mourning which is specified as con
stituting the death omen. The sup
erstition is based upon that idea-of
primitive man which - conceived
every act as ' haVuig"a'' appropriate
and corresponding result and every
result as traceable to-a correspond
ing cause- a philosophic truth as a
general statement, but one which,
because, the human mind had not
yet become capable of tracing the
condition between cause and effect
it has -not-yet become capable of
so doing except, partially resulted
only in sympathetic magic.
Ignorant of realities primitive man
evolved a law, or a magic, of asso
ciation which, mixed np association
in thought with association in real
ity.: A person trying on some piece
of mourning naturally, gives rise to
the thought of his wearing mourn
ing and, as people wear mourning
for near friends or' relations, it fol
lows that there will soon occur a
death which will cause him to don
mourning habiliments.- The reason
ing was very logical and satisfac
tory to 'the primitive . mind and
though today we do not reason it,
out as our, savage ancestors would
have done, the mourning garment
sunprstittnn snrinffs- naturallv from
what Professor Freud' would calf
man's : 1 "subconscious primitive
which, according to the psycho
logists, still persists '.iri' the human
mind.' ; ;' .. ;"'" v-vf. 1 '

WHY-
Does a Violin String Sound When
a Bow is Drawn Over It?
..Remembering that the nature of
sound is such that it is nothing more
than a vibration of the air caused,. in
turn, by some other vibration, it is
at once apparent that the note which
follows the bowing of a violin string
must be due to a movement of the
string. In fact, it is in order that
this vibration of the violin string
may be of a certain definite speed
that rdsin is applied to' the 10w, thus
increasing the friction between ;thc
two and making it comparatively
simple for the violinist to extract the
desired ;notes from his instrument. ,
The sound of a violin string, how
ever, difers from that .made ;; by the
String of a harp or piano because the
length' and material of the -strings
are .different and also-because the
violin string is held tightly in place
while the others are free to vibrate
until their own "tension, pxihgs ... them
to a halt. Plucking a violin string,
therefore, results in -a qtrickr staccato
note ' which ceases almost instantly,
while the note made by the bow lasts
onlywhile the' friction" due to the
resin is in progress, the shortness of
the string and the manner in which
it is held in place at either end pre
venting it from vibrating of its own
accord. However, the - action of
drawing the bow across .-a . violin
string very lightly produces what is
known as a "harmonic" . tr a note
which is in harmony, with that made
when the entire string vibrates, the
very gentle friction causifig only a
portion of the string to vibrate.
