HALLOWEEN.

This is Halloween, the night of all
the saints and no end of mischeivous
anu charms ana delightful tricks and
games, with a toss at fate, a fiirt with
fortune and mysterious ventures.
Tomorrow is All Saints Day. A day OF
the Christian Church. But tonight's the
night of registering, rollicking Paganism,
OF sorcery and charms and mystic things,
supernatural and heathenish, nische-
vious. This is the night when the fairy
princes. condemned to the outward forms
OF beasts and hideous things, and the
princesses, fated TO roam speechless as
gazelles or lovely birds until the wicked
charm may be dispelled, assume their
normal state for a brief period-which, IL
fortune favors, may te long enough to
break the spell.
Mystery and mirth shall prevail to-
cracked and eaten and venturesome
maids shall identify their lovers thereby
and what's more shall test the love that
they are counting on, by the simple pro-
cess OF placing two nuts in the embers
| OF fire, naming them after the suitors
they may select to decide between. The
nut that just cracks and jumps will plainly
enough identify the unfaithful suitor,
will certainly identity him of the warm
heart and true regard.
II your lover proposes marriage on this
evening let him bind you at once by
tying blue ribbon upon your wedding
ring finger, that both may be constant
and true, a prccaution by no means to be
neglected in these days of easy divorces.
1t witt be we'll, when dressing for the
evening, to have somewhere about your
person the requisite bit of ribbon.
Just at midnight, and you must by no
means retire before that hour, listen for
the sound of bells from the nearest church
steeple, and il they reach your ears in a
full and distinct peal, you may get ready
| your wedding fnery; but IL there is a
dull and mufiied sound, possess your
soul in patience for another year. If you
are not quite decided in your own mind
as to which OF two lovers you prefer,
think of both just before you fall asleep
and IL you dream OF one your fate is de-
cided. -
One of the weird tests that you may
/
make-and the more weird the test the
more reliable the prophecy, Of course--i is
to go down stairs backward with a mir
ror in one hand and a match in the
other. Pursue your backward course to
the most remote corner Of the cellar and
there strike the match and gaze into the
mirror. You will see your lover looking
| mirror that is, you will IL the spell
works properly or you have Imagination
enough.
May we ell find our fate happily this

The Curious Ceremony Of Holy weeh
in Vienna.

Tho Curious Ceremony Of Holy weeh
in Vienna.
On Holy Thursday, at Vienna, the
emperor Francis Joseph performed the
annual ceremony Of washing the feet
OIL Twelve old beggars, says the New
FORK Sun. The ceremony took place In
the hall Of ceremonies In the imperial
palace. On a platform raised slightly
ABOVE the floor was a long table with
we've covers. a plate, knife. wooden
spoon. folded napkin for each. with a
piece OF bread, a pewter mug, and a
iittie blue pitcher filled with water. At
~ o'clock, twelve old men. the young
est os and the oldest Sc, entered the hall
ana were supported. each by two rela-
yves. to the PLATFORM, which they
mounted with difficulty, and were
placed In their seats, their relatives.
most OF them women, standing behind
.nem. Then entered twenty knights OF
the Teutonic order, headed by their
master, Archduke Eugene, dressed In
white with long black crosses on the
breasts Of their doublets and others on
sne back of their long black cloaks.
lhey marched around the hall. and
tnen, forming a line on either side.
made way fer the ministers, with Count
Nalnoky at the head, and the en-
peror's staf. They were followed by
the primate Of Austria, Cardinal
uruscha, with priests and acolytes
bearing candles and burning incense.
Ihen came the emperor. dressed in the
white uniform of an Austrian general
wearing the order Of the Golden
fleece. He advanced to the table and
addressed a few words to the old men.
AT a signal from the master Of cere-
monies twelve guardmen stepped for
ward, each bearing on a tray the first
course of the sumptuous repast; the
emperor now took of his helmet,
gave 1t to an officer. and. passing down
me line, arranged the dishes before the
guests. Twelve archdukes then ap-
preached and removed the Barmecide
banquet from the guests eyes. handing
the dishes to the guards. This was
repeated for three courses. and with
the last, the plates, knives and other
objects on the table were also taken
on. They were all packed later. with
the food. In wooden boxes, and sent
to the homes Of the old men. The
table was then taken away, and the
washing Of feet" began. A priest ap-
preached with a towel and golden
basin full Of water; their slippers were
taken from the old mems feet. and the
emperor, on his knees, beginning with
the Oldest, moistened his feet with
water and dried them with the towel.
Without rising, still on his knees, he
passed on to the next one. and SO on
to the end Of the row. When he had
finished he rose and placed around each
mans neck q chain, attached to which
was a small white bag containing thirty
pieces Of silver. That ended the cere-
mony; the emperor and his suite with
drew. and the old men were taken home
by their friends.

with oranges. This he was to carry

GRIP BACK" A NEW DISEASE.

Car Conductors Get It from humping
Against the Railing.
There Is a new disease in town, and
any one who persistently rides on the
rear platform Of a cable car may con-
tract 1t, says a New York paper.
II he persists in 1t he is very nearly
sure to get 1t. He may think he has got
a cold in the small Of his back" or
lumbago, or a "crick in the back" or
rheumatic" or simply indigestion. But
he hasn't any n of them. What he
has is called cable back" and by the
Third venue conductors grip back"
and he'll get 1t nine times out of ten
II he spends his substance in riding
around the r at Fourteenth street
and Fifty-third street. Particularly
will he get it II he is one of our fellow
citizens who believe a conductor Is en-
ployed to entertain the passengers. A
large number Of conductors on the
Broadway cable cars are beginning
to complain Of the excessive soreness
across their backs Just below the waist
line. The tail fender Of the car has a
heavy brass rail which is about the
height of an averaged-sized mans coat
tail buttons. The custom OF the con-
ductors, when they are not assisting
passengers to get on and of the cars
or trimmings errands for deaf and elder
ly persons, Is to lean negligently
against this brass rail and discuss the
silver question. The gripman has no
use for a conductor. He regards him
as an unnecessary evil In the same cate
CORY as a cross-eyed fox-terrier caught
in the cable slot, and when he observes
the conductor In repose, he gives his
grip a little extra twist, bangs his bell,
and shoots ahead. slamming his asso-
ciate's back against the rail. This con
slant shock has resulted In the partial
Gripping Of a number Of conductors.
Physicians are inclined to regard con-
tinuous shocks to the spine or any Of
the organs. especially the kidneys. "a
certain to produce serious disorders. II
is not known that any conductor ID
seriously affected with cable or grip

or you ride with he will probably tell
you that he has got the new disease,

Tell the Truth.

This morning was the coolest of the
season in New Mexico. The minimum
thermometer at the Santa Fe weather
bureau registered 16 degrees below zero.
Las Vegas registered Fl below, Albuquer-
que below, while it was 20 below here.
The report from Santa Fe is probably
the only accurate one, as all the others
we're taken from ordinary instruments,
which are rarely correct.-Cerrillos Rust
Ter.
The Rustler is quite incorrect. The
coolest day Santa Fe ever experienced
was 10 degrees below zero, official record
and that was on January 81, 1888. Thus
for this winter 10 $40 below zero is the
coolest official record, and while Albu-
querque is eighty miles south and is al
ways, in the local press, Boosting of its
superiority as a winter resort over Santa
Fe, the mercury there last week reached
IL degrees below zero. These are facts.
If it is true, as the Rustler states, that
Las Vegas shows record of 81 below
and Cerrillos 20 below, then Santa Fe
continues to lay claim to possessing the
climatic palm for all-the-year good
weather in New Mexico.
