pomegranate seed, Persephone became subject to the spell of Hades.
In Apuleius, Psyche, when she visits the place of souls, is
advised to abstain from food. Kohl found the myth among the
Ojibbeways, Mr. Codrington among the Solomon Islanders; it occurs
in Samoa, in the Finnish Kalewala (where Wainamoinen, in Pohjola,
refrains from touching meat or drink), and the belief has left its
mark on the mediaeval ballad of Thomas of Ercildoune. When he is
in Fairy Land, the Fairy Queen supplies him with the bread and
wine of earth, and will not suffer him to touch the fruits which
grow "in this countrie." See also "Wandering Willie" in
Redgauntlet.

AS NOW THE HUTTED ESKIMO. The Eskimo and the miserable Fuegians
are almost the only Socialists who practise what European
Anarchists preach. The Fuegians go so far as to tear up any piece
of cloth which one of the tribe may receive, so that each member
may have a rag. The Eskimo are scarcely such consistent walkers,
and canoes show a tendency to accumulate in the hands of
proprietors. Formerly no Eskimo was allowed to possess more than
one canoe. Such was the wild justice of the Polar philosophers.

THE LATEST MINSTREL. "The sound of all others dearest to his ear,
the gentle ripple of Tweed over its pebbles, was distinctly
audible as we knelt around the bed and his eldest son kissed and
closed his eyes."--Lockhart's Life of Scott, vii., 394.

RONSARD'S GRAVE. This version ventures to condense the original
which, like most of the works of the Pleiad, is unnecessarily
long.
