LEGENDs or FHE APPLE.

The apple. which, as well as we know, is the
first fruit mentioned IN the Bible, has been the
occasion Of various legends and superstitions. In
Arabia It is believed TO charm away disease and
produce health and prosperity. In some coun-
tries the custom remains Of placing rosy apple
in the hand Of the dead that they my md 1t when
they enter Paradise. The Greeks use Il as q
symbol for wealth and large possessions, thus
attesting their esteem for the fullness and rich
ness Of its qualities. In northern mythology the
apple Is said to produce rejuYenating power.
Germany, France, and Switzerland have numer-
Gus legends regarding this fruit. In some II is
celebrated as the harbinger Of good fortune,
causing ones most earnest desires to be fulfilled;
In others its beautiful properties are shown forth
as bringing death and destruction; others again
speak Of II as an oracle IN love affairs; this Is
especially the case with the Germans not only
in their numerous tales, but in some surviving
customs. In England, as well as in our own
country, Is known among school girls the popular
use Of the apple seeds In divining ones sweet
heart. The peeling is also used as q test in this
delicate matter.
