TWO HAZEL NUTS THREW INTO THE FLAME

to that of All Souls night when Chris
tianity usurped heathenism among the
Teutons, the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts,
there is nothing about It's legends and
ceremonies that does not SAVIOR of the
pagan. Pulling the kali (or cabbage) to
find if ones spouse TO be will be stout
or lean is one, and from this no
doubt came the hilarious phantasies of
the American cabbage night. Hazel nuts
and chestnuts play an important part in
English Halloween observances. The
poet Gray tells of this most delightful.
ly in these lines:
Two hszel nuts / threw into the fame,
And 20 esch nut gave q sweetheartis name
This with the loudsst bounce me sore amazed
That in = fame Of brightest color blazed-
As blazes nut 80 may thy passion grow,
For twas thine own that did 80 brightly glow.
In the old days it was believed that
witches did travel abundantly on Hal
loween- The fairies, too, did then dis
port themselves most friskily, and spells
then worked that worked no other night
The burning of bonfres was general in
Wales and Scotland ON Halloween, and
lads and maybe lasses, too, then went
out masked and dressed in garments of
quaint design.
There were also many games on Hal
loween in other times of which moth
ing is preserved. save in tradition
Some Of these games were such as would
not be admissible now, for the refine
ment of those old days was much less
than that of today, no matter how they
may have excelIed the present in other
directions. Those games which had for
their object the discovery of future
husbands or wife's identity were nat
urally most popular Here is a recipe
for securing an answer TO the question
supposed to be most important to every
girl 1t is from an ancient publication,
entitled THE True Fortune Teller"

where the population is largely made
up of this latter element the old Eng
fish, Scotch and Irish legends undoubt-
eddy obtain, yet it is extremely doubt
full If there is one-tenth of the Hal
loween superstition anywhere in the
United States that exists in the mother
country unless ii is among the negroes
of the south, where, since the extreme
observances of the occasion resemble
those of the ''voodoo doctors" so close
ly, it has been completely assimilated
into the system Of superstitions held by
the children of Africa
A sort of half belief in Halloween
superstition has been widely dissent
mated by the boarding schools of the
land, and it is safe TO assume that there
is far more Of Halloween observance
among the children and young folks of
the rich and well to do than among
those whose parents work for wages
throughout the land 1t is quite Gus
somary nowadays for parents TO plan
Halloween parties for their children, at
which many of the sports of the season
are entered into.

Feelings over ones shoulder to see what
initials the Feelings will form, pouring
melted lead into water for similar
purpose and the like are favorite diver
sions at these little parties. As diversions
they are harmless, but in all seriousness
the inculcation of superstitions at Hal
loween, or any other time, for that mat
ter, should be avoided, for the human
creature is desperately inclined to be
superstitious, no matter how modern,
and there is nothing more torturing
in life than to be a victim of some be-
lief in the significance of omens and
signs and presentiments, even if the vic
tim knows in his Utmost heart that
there is nothing at all to justify such
belief.
