Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. 1RVINQ KINO.
Dead Snakes as Rainmakers.
In Mrs. Fanny Bergen's "Animal
and Plant Lore" superstition, com
mon in the southern states, the "bor
der states" of Maryland and Tennes
see, and in Illinois, is said to be
that to kill snake and hang it
on a fence or tree is a sure way
of producing rain. In some sec
tions of the south, according to Mrs.
Hcrgen, hanging the snake with its
back up will prevent rain; with its
back down will bring on rain This
however, may be considered a local
frill though possibly it may have
some mythological basis now nn
discoverable and eliminated by time
from the general form of the super
stition, which is a very old German
one. The old Germans were ac-
riutoiiirj to kill a snake and hanu
him up in a tree when they wished
ram with the serpents head pointed
in the d rection from which they ex
pected the wind ti come which
would bring with ft the desired
showers. The ue of serpents as
rain charms prevails today among
vsrious peoples living in a primitive
1 stale and is evidently a conception
ot prim live man and a relic of serpent-worship,
t
It is a curious fact that primitive
man frequently performed his de
votions by killing the thing he wor
shipped. A good example is afford
ed by the customs of the primitive
Ainus of Japan with regard to the
bear today. This cur'ous "twist" of
the primitive mind has never been
quite satisfactorily explained, though
lir James Frazer, who has delved
deeper into primitive psychology
than any other man, has gone far
into primitive psychology than an;
other man, has gone far towards
solving it. Just how wide-spread in
this country the snake-rainmaking
superstition is it is impossible to
say; but the lut ol sulci cited by
Mrs. Bergen as harboring it shows
Hut its habitat extends over a very
considerable area and the serpent
worship, m its ritual, still exists amid
the Illinois farms, the Cumberland
mountains and by the shores of the
Chesapeake.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The ruby, 'which is today's talis
manic gem, is a cerfect protection
against danger. It was believed by
the ancients that those who wore
a ruby could travel anywhere with
perfect safety, pass through fire and
flood unharmed, and come off vic
torious in any controversy. To re
ceive these blessings, however, the
gem must be worn on the left side.
Working in sympathy with the
ruby is the natal stone for today
the cat's eye. It, too, has the power
to allay alt jinx of misfortune, But
if it is worn by any except those
whose birth anniversary this is, it is
believed to cause the loss of valued
friends.
According to oriental supmtttl.
tion, purple is the lucky color today.
To wear it is believed to acquire the
confidence and esteem of influential
people.
The mignonette Is today's lignifi
rant flower. It is believed to make
all occasions over which it presides
memorable for beauty.
