IN A FRIENDLY SPIRIT.
Premier Seddon Explains New Zea
lands Samoan Offer.

WELLINGTON, N. H., Jan. l2.-Prcmic
Seddon, yesterday, in speech In regar
to Samoa, said that New Zealand's offer
to administer the affairs OF Samoa unitedly
was approved by the Australian colonies.
The offer, he added, was made In friendly
spirit TO all the powers concerned.
IL was made with the knowledge OF the
United States, which country, the speaker
claimed, was indifferent, and with tho
knowledge Of the Germans who had not
advanced the colonization Of Samoa In
fact their interest was growing less every
year. The Germans of Australia. tho
premier insisted. were not averse TO and
did not consider the administration OF
Samoa by New Zealand to be detrimental
to the interests OF the fatherland.
Continuing the premier said that action
Of two OF the greatest European powers In
using men of.war to settle trumpery dis
putes between handful of natives was a
blot on our boasted civilization. 1t re-
hected upon "the traditions of our race
TO find ranges for gun practice on unof-
Tending savages, where a handful Of po-
licemen ashore could have stopped the
fighting"
Kosebery Called Down.
Mr.. Seldom also said that he regretted
that Lord Rosebery had recently ridi-
culed the report that New Zealand bad
made an offer respecting Samoa. The
offer was officially made In a constitu-
tional manner, and II ridicule was to be
heaped upon New Zealand In order to con.
ciliate Germany it would not tend TO
strengthen the bonds binding the colonies
to the mother country.
New Zealand and the other colonies, he
continued. lad no wish TO interfere with
imperial interests or TO complicate matters
between Great Britain and foreign ma
tions but it was of great Importance to
the colonies that the Pacific islandsshould
be peopled with British subjects, and that
they should not be made the dumping
ground Of the criminal classes Of Europe,
as in the case Of New Caledonia"

rnr FESTIVAL OF ALruAllow ZEN.

Thursday next, Allhallow Fen, which ushers in All Saints Day, No vember lst, is conspicuously near at hand, when in many countries and in parts of tho United States quaint customs are observed. The customs attending Allhnllow Fen arc relics of Druidism and are more commonly observed in tho north of England, in Scotland and in Ireland. Lads and lassies largely engage in diyinations, more particularly with vlew of ascer- taining with whom they are to we'd
 Where the festival is observed every house abounds in the best of yiands; apples and nuts are deyoured in qunn- titles; the nut-sholls are burned and from the ashes many strange things are foretold. Sentimental maidens put nuts upon the bars of the grates, nam- ing them after their lovers and them selves, If a nut cracks and jumps tho lover is uniaithful; if the nuts named after the girl and her lover burn brightly together, they will be mar ried. Another way to learn who is your true love, is to take candle, go alone to looking glass and eat an apple before it, when the face of your conjugal companion, to be, will be seen in the glass, as if peeping over your shoulder, Also hemp seed is sown by the maidens and they believe if they look over the left shoulder when narrowing in the seed, they will see the apparitiou of their future hus- band The recountng of the spells invoked on this occasion might be prolonged al inhnitum, but those already mentioned must suffice, with this oddenda: Witches engage in the irolic and course the air on broom sticks.
 Allhallow Fen is especially inter- esting to us, as on that day, in thoy year 1915, the senior editor was ushered into this ''yale of tears, and, although his head is now alycred with the frosts of eighty seasons, the fond rec ords of youthful years are still bright in the tables of his memory.
