8?y T r?t Beliefs.
T.ong twfore the time of Shakespeare
the hay tree was an object of super
stitton The wintering of such a tree
was believed to be a sure Indication of
coming misfortune to those with whom
It was In any way connected Shake
s pen re gave voice to the superstition
In "Richard 11." when he tnttde one of
his characters say:
Tts thought the kins ts dead. we'll net
atay
rb* bay treea tn our country are with
ered.
It was thought by the ancients that
lightning would never harm this tree,
and It was customary among them to
carry bay leaves as a charm against
the tbnuderbolts of Jove. The same
belief was long prevalent in England,
and reference to it may be found In
an old poem dedicated to Bcq Jonson
t that wreath* which doth the wearer

'Gainst the quick ?troatco* ot thunder is
' no charm

There Is a queer twist of Icr-irnnge In
the phrase "to eat tinmble pie." The
word "humble" Is a corrupted form of
the original "nnmble*" which Is on In

wonld make very poor pie The words
"humble pie" have ihe same original
; meaning ns "to eat crow." a phrase
i common In political life. There is an
