Have you ever realized what a dif­
ference the home greetings make to
the children, make, in fact, to every
member of the family? When they
i come home from school, when they
j run In from their playing, when they
arrive home from a day's outing or a
short visit, how do we greet them?
Do we ever say sharply: “Mary,
when will you ever remember to wipe
your feet?” or, “Dick, why will you
persist In dashing In like a wild Indian
when I’ve told you so often about com­
ing In quietly?" or, “Billy, you've
ripped a button off. Come here quick­
ly and let me tlx It I” Do we quench
their enthusiasm, their Joy at getting
home, by such remarks? Will the
children greeted so look forward to
their home-comings, look forward to
their mother? W’lll they have a picture
in later years of a loving, smiling
mother, always glad to welcome them
back to the home nest, or a sharp,
scolding, criticising mother, ready to
find fault?
Surely it la worth while to control
our manner, our speech, and never lef
anything prevent us from giving the
warm; hearty, loving welcome home
we would wish to give our children,
our loved ones, making them love the
home-comings, says the Delineator. If
faults must be reproved, advice given,
eave it for other times than the mo­
ment of arrival. Let the greeting be
hearty and loving, one which will
warm the children's hearts at the time
and which they will remember with
joy in the after years.
NOT ALL MERE SUPERSTITION
Gsneral Dislike for Two-Dollar Bills
Partially Explained by Boston
Banker.
The reason for the superstition that
$2 bills bring bad luck are problemati­
cal.
One popular explanation is that folks
are afraid they will pass a “two" for a
"one." Gamblers and sports, particu­
larly, carry their money In heavy rolls
with the largest bills Inside, and claim
that it Is easy to peel a $2 bill from
the outside and pass It for a one. Ar­
guments and disputes with shopkeep­
ers frequently follow as to the denomi­
nation of the bill passed.
Again, folks, who handle large num­
bers of small bills are likely to get a
92 note sandwiched in with a number
of $1 bills and In counting forget to
make allowance for the extra “seed."
Still another possible reason for the
jinx was suggested by a Boston
banker.
"Two-dollar bills are frequently used
by counterfeiters a*l crooks,” said he. '
“A man can split a $2 bill right
through the middle, then split a
twenty, paste one part of the two with
another half of the twenty and thus
make two twenties out of a $20 and a
$2 bin. By passing the $20 side up
they can get away with It more often
than you would believe.”
Walpurgis Night.
In Germany "Waipurgls night"—the
night preceding the first day of May—
corresponds to Hallowe’en In this
country, and considering that All
Saints’ day was originally kept on the
first of May, there would appear to be
but little doubt that Hallowe'en and
Walpurgle have a common origin,
which, doubtless, dates back to the
earliest belief In a personal and all-
powerful Bvll one.
The German peasants believe that
on Walpurgis night there is a witch
festival, or gathering of evil spirits
on the summit of the Brocken, in the
Hartz mountains, and the malign In­
fluence of this convocation Is believed
to be felt all over the surrounding
country. It was an old custom, and
still observed tn some places, to light
great bonfires of straw or brush on
that night, to drive away the spirits of
darkness supposed to be hovering In
tfie air.
"Walking'’ Millinery Shope.
In a certain section of Mexico there
are women who wear 150 hats at one
time, They are “walking" millinery
shops
Instead of “setting up shop," the
Mexican woman carries her store
around with her. The hats, which are
of light straw, are for sale, and the
walking millinery shop often carries
about fifty baskets with her besides.
And the buskets are not sniHll fancy
affairs, but oftentimes are of half-
bushel size It Is usually the Indian
women who do thia, and the hats and
baskets are woven In most attractive
Indian designs.
The prices of these hand-made arti­
cles ure very low. Baskets that would
sell for a dollar hi American money
sell for only a tew cents tn Mexico, and
hats which sell for 35 or 50 cents would
cost many dollars in other countries.
