Baby's Tooth.
AH oldtime nurses and mothers in
lie rural districts were very careful
when it child lost its first milk tooth
that the tooth should be burned in
the tire; for if it were thrown awav
and a dog happened to get hold of it
the child would have a "dog's tooth"
grow iu its place when the new teeth
came. Inquiry reveals this supcrsti
t;on to still be surprisingly common
even among people who ought to
know better. But its absurdity is
equaled by its antiquity and our bar
barian ancestors regarded it as a per
fectly reasonable proposition.
It works by "contagious magic"
upon the princil le that what has
1 een a part of a man retains, though
dissevered from him. a magical sym
pathy with his person, and what hap
pens to it will happen to him. This
is- especially true of teeth, the hard

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The moss agate is the talisinauic
stone for today, and also the natal
stone for those born on an anniver
sary- of this date. Healtl
and a long life are promised those
who wear it nnd believe in its
power; it is also said to endow in
wearers with good judgement in all
things, and so to bring them good
fortune.
Today's lucky color is purple,
which the ancients believed attracted
the best of fortune- to those who
wore it at this time; in fact, their
high priests always wore it on this
day when officiating at mystic rites.
The violet is today's flower.
