SIMON BROWN’S SONS • • • 8. C. 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.” (• fey McClsr* N«w*p*p*r SyndlcaU.) Many Pfatty Lagand* .... 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. —.— ♦ ♦ ♦ jTC- U. S.
