According to Judge Arnold, of Phila-
delphia, the arrest of speak easy pro
prietors on Sunday is illegal Accord
ing the laws of 17O5, which were passed
in the reign of Charles II, it says:
''NO person or persons on the first day
of the week shall serve or execute or
or cause to be served or executed any
writ, precept, warrant, order, judgment
or decree except in case of treason,
felony or breach of the peace" Under
Judge Arnold's ruling the police of
Philadelphia will hardly make any
more arrests of speak easies on Sunday.

SuperstitiOns as to Lucky and I'm
!. lucky Days.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
A considerable grain of truth may be
found in the formula which the love-sick
young man in Lockley Hall enunciated as
a harbinger of spring before whose infalli-
bility even the ground hog is put to blush:
In the spring the young mans fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love.
For. be it known, that love has it's seasons
controlled by the time of year, the supersti-
tions OF its votaries. and even the signs of
the sun and moon, and, most arbitrary of
all. by the days of the week.
To marry on Monday means to marry for
wealth, yet much as we Americans love
wealth, Monday Is not a popular wedding
day. Tuesday is much better patronized,
but Wednesday is a favorite. As a happy
bride recently observed: "wednesday is
not too near either end of the week"
Thursday being the day for crosses" Is
not a favorite except for those whose posi-
ton is never dependent upon the caprices of
fate, and therefore can, to a certain extent,
defy the cherished superstition OF centuries.
calculations of Cupid, except with those
who have made it their lucky day. Satur-
day being put down in the calendar as no
of the nuptial knot, and Sunday is not in
cluded In the list of matrimonial days. 1t
Is generally conceded, both by society and
the people who are slaves to no social die
tum, that the merrymaking and festivities
which accompany the wedding ceremonies
are not consistent with the prescribed OBJ
servances of Sunday. A quiet church mar
riage is all that could be expected.
Marriages in Lent are not looked upon
with favor, even by those who do not OBJ

tence.

May is not considered a lucky month for
marriages, especially that day of the week
on which the prohibited 14th falls, for the
couple who are married on that day, says
an old writer on Scotch folklore. will have
occasion 10 regret ii for the whole year.
Better reasons are given by the authorities
for the ban laid on the beautiful month OF
May than are found to defend other prohib-
tied months. 1t was the month or funeral
rites with the ancient Romans, and for this
reason marriages were forbidden to inter-
fere with the sacred ceremonies OF the dead.
In China marriages are not permitted by the
authorities In the month of May. The Scotch
people recall the fact that Queen Mary mar
ried Boutwell, in May. ard for that reason
they nave continued a superstition begun In
ancient days
What. then, are the lucky months? People
who were happily married in May-possibly
on the unlucky 18th day or tEat month
will smile at these restrictions. Others viii
tell us that June and October are the two
exempt months which superStitlons dare not

delightful months of the year are popularity

his unwashed face or a smooth hair on
