THE BURIED PAPER A VERY Interesting superstition Is found among children in some sec tions of the country. They write the names of two or three, hundred lo some sections It Is one hundred per tons on a psprr and ask each person whose nsme Is written 'to bow to the document. As the bow Is made It Is recorded opposite the name by a sign which resembles a crude capital li. The collection of nnmes and signs be ing completed, the paper Is burled fsce down In the ground, After two or three months It Is dug up with the ex pectation of finding money under It; or, some ssjr, left there until It Is de cayed, when wlistevrr you wished for at Its burial will "come true." It has been suggested thst the sign placed after the names on the paper wss originally the sodlaral sign for Hayes, the fishes. The fish, on high authority, was "the most obvious and ancient symbol of the reproductive power of water." The fecundation of the -earth by water Is tbe basis of some of the most ancient and prominent mythological cults. Thus burying the sign of Pistes In tbe earth results In production. The nsmes on the paper represent humsn sacrifices to, any Fsmmus and Ishtar, who, In'the ancient Semitic legend, were the god and goddess typifying this union of wster and earth and who were thus Invoked. It Is well known thst humsn ssrrlflce, once universal, was replaced as civilization developed. Into the ssrrlflce of a substitute for tbe humsn victim.
