O F THE many mystic qualities
which were formerly supposed to
pertain to amber its potency as a
charm agatnst rheumatism appears Tb
be about the only one which survives
In popular superstition. But a belief
In this quality persists with remark
able vffallty and Is defended by per
sona whom one would least suspect of
such credulity. Henry Ward Beecher
always qarrled about with him a
string of amber beads to cure or to
ward off his rheumatic attacks; and
amber set as jewelry is still sold In
London for the cure of this malady.
Only a few years ago amber had a
much more prominent place in thera
peutics. In 1865 Rev. C. W. King, In
his “Natural History of Precious
Stones” wrote: “That the wearing of
an amber necklace will keep off an
attack of erysipelas has been proved
by experiments beyond the possibility
of a doubt.” Oil of amber still has a
place tn the United States dispensa
tory and perhaps there still exist some
old-tjme doctors who use It medicinally.
The ancients, who attached mystic
qualities to all sorts of precious and
seud-preclous stones, were pot likely
to neglect amber; that strange sub
stance born of the sea and of the color
of yellow sunlight. The Romans used
to place in their mortuary urns pieces
of amber and Jet, the Jet symbolIxlng
the darkness of death and the amber
the light of Immortality. Possibly the
black stone was an offering to Pluto
and the yellow substance an offering
to the sun-god. In the medicine of
the Middle ages, which was largely
folk-medlclne, amber played jm im
portant part, and, as has been said,
has continued to play a medicinal role
down to our own times. The rever-
ance with which the ancients regarded
amber was increased by the discovery
of Its electrical properties. Doctor
Runs says: The electric property of
amber was remarked aa early as 600
B. G by the Ionic philosopher, Thales,
and from this observation may be
dated the study of e)ectric phenomena.”

Concerning the Poppy
The poppy baa been the symbol of
death since the time the son of Tar-
qulnlos Superbus asked Ids father
what should be done with the people
of a conquered city.
Tarquln did toot reply, but going Into
the ga^^n he slashed off tltirheads of
the largest popples, thereby commend-
!ng the massacre of the most Influen
tial citizens.,
The color of the poppy, resembling
blood, also symbolises death. When
Persephone was stolen by Piute her
mother, Seres, searched for hdr day
and night. The gods, pitying her and
unable to restore Persephone, caused
popples to spring about her feet She
Inhaled their heavy, bitter scent, and
put the seeds Intp her mouth, and
presently sleep closed her eyelids and
she gained that rest which her weary
body needed.
The state flower of California Is
a brilliant yellow poppy, which shines
on the mountain slopes urider which
gold lies hidden. The Saxon name for
Poppy Is “poptg.”
It dsed to he a custom In olden days
to strike a poppy petal In the hands
to ascertain whether a lover was faith
ful or not. If it broke It signified
that he was unfaithful, but If it held
together and made a noise It showed
he was true. —.—
