CHAPTER III. The Loose Board. After Farmer Green put the lid with the holes in it over the top of the feeding trough, Grunty Tig be gan to grow. At least he was getting as much to eat as his brothers and sisters. And the bigger he grew, the more food he wanted. He was al ways on the watch for some extra tidbit always rooting about to find some dainty that others had over looked. Many a delicious piece of carrot, or turnip, or potato-paring rewarded him for his eager search ing. Still, Grunty Pig was far from satisfied. He had a great longing to get outside the pen where he lived with the rest of Mrs. Pig's children. "Out in the wide world there must be many good things to eat," he thought. "I'd like to find the place where the potato-parings grow." But of all this, Grunty Pig said nothing to any one. If the chance ever came to slip out of the pen, he intended to take nobody with him. He had not yet caught up with his brothers and sisters in size, even if he had outstripped them in the matter of brains. And he feared that any one of them would crowd him away from the good things that he meant to find beyond the walls of the pigsty. Little did Mrs. Pig dream what plans filled the head of her son Grunty. When she saw him sniffling around the walls of the pen she never once guessed that he could be look ing for anything except something to eat. How could she know that Grunty the littlest of the family was searching for a place to escape? Now, it happened that there was one loose board in the corner of the pig pen. The nails that onc held it Two more rusty nails gava way all at once. had rusted away. Nobody but Grunty Pig had discovered that by pressing against an end of this board one could bend it outward. , "It was too bad for him that he had grown so rapidly. Had he been just a bit smaller he could have squeezed through the opening. Here Grunty met the first real problem of his life. For some days he puzzled over it. One thing was certain; .he couldn't make himself smaller, unless he stopped eating. And that was out of the question. In the end he made up his mind that there was only one thing to do; hei must make the opening bigger. Day after day Grunty Pig crowd ed against the loose board. And at last came his reward. Two more rusty nails gave way all at once. Un der Grunty's weight the board opened wide. And as he slipped through the space to freedom the board snapped back into place again. There he was, with the wide world before him. And there was the pen with no opening anywhere to be seen. With a grunt of delight Grunty Pig trotted out of the low building and found himself on the edge of Farmer Green's orchard. He noticed that there was a fra grant smell of apples in the air.

It is a superstition common in this and many other countries and one remaining from ancient times, that if you kill a frog or a toad, your cows will go dry; or at least give bloody milk. Frogs and toads are of the same family; one is the farmer broth er and the other the sailor. In the ancient cults it is the frog which is generally spoken of, though from some of the archaic representa tions and some of the myths it is evi dent that the distinction between the frog and the toad was not always definitely drawn. For general pur poses of superstition the two batra chinas m3y be taken as one. The frog was a sacred creature among the old Egyptians. In some places it was embalmed after death and it was honored with sculptures on the tombs of Thebes. A volume might be writ ten on the frog in Egyptian mythol ogy. Ihc Komans got their venera tion of the frog from the Egyptians and the modern Italian regards the figure of a frog as a powerful amu let against the evil eye. Naturally it brings bad luck to kill the sacred creature. As to why the killing of a frog or a toad should have a particular effect upon cows, it may be said that while the frog was in general the symbol of Ptah, the god of the reproductive forces not solar, it was, in some places and in certain connections. used as the symbol of Isis. And Elworthy says:. "It is said that the Egyptaian Isis was born at Argos and that she is identified with the cow-shaped Io. who was the same as Hera, and both are represented in Egypt, as well as in Greece, with cow's horns."

Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. The potency of the carnelian today's talismanic stone is said to arise from Mohammedan supersti tion, since the prophet himself wore on the little finger of his right hand a silver ring set with a carnelian engraved for use as a seal. The gem is believed to protect its wearer from the loss of health or riches or friends. Likewise, it stills the voice of envy, which brings unhap piness. For those whose birth ' anniver sary this is, ancient legend assigns the coral as a natal stone. If it is used as an amulet, it will preserve the good health of its wearer, though it must be worn in such a manner that its brilliant color makes it conspicuous. The ancients be lieved that the possessor of coral could pass through terrible storms and traverse the seas in safety.

"I was. spending most of my time in bed when I began taking Tanlac, and was absolutely unable to do my housework or look after my chil dren and had to hire help. Every thing I ate disagreed with me, and at times I felt so stuffed-up that I had a raging headache and some times the agony was so awful it would almost drivt me distracted. I ached all over and at night slept so little that in the morning I felt weak and worn out. "I never dreamed any medicine could do what Tanlac has done for me.

Does Iron Get Red When Heated? The application of heat acts upon different materials in varying ways, producing marked chemical changes in some and on others leading to a variation of their form or a re arrangement of the molecules, which make up the entire object. The hard ening of the albumin of an egg is a familiar example of the first effect of heat, while the red light given off a piece of hot iron exemplifies the second. Up to the time it reaches a certain temperature, iron apparently does not change its form under the in fluence of the heat. Then it becomes a dull brownish red, then a fiery red and finally, just before it melts, a dazzling white. These changes are due to the heat which the iron ab sorbs, there being a direct relation ship between heat and light as is evident from the fact that the latter TH" - jgewlrTly' : J IntKiHvjioM.

A poker or other iron bar which is placed in the fire, therefore, absorbs a portion of the heat, for iron is a good heat conductor, and gradually seeps up a quantity sufficient to enable it to gie off light just as the fire itseh' does. As this heat grows in inten sity the light increases and, just be fore it reaches a temperature suffi cient to melt the iron, the light is so intense as to cause pain when it is looked at. The varying shades of color, from dull red to dazzling white, are therefore excellent indica tions of the degree to which the iron has been heated. (Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.)
