FEW PRACTICAL "DON'Ts."
Mayday customs have undergone great changes
eince the time Of the Roman Floralia. Nowadays
May is looked upon by many as regular moving
day Formerly a flower festival held. and the
Maypole was the centre of attention. much thought
and care being spent on its decoration. The hero
.ne OF the day the beautiful May Queen. who,
seated on her fowery throne, smiingly received
the homage of her many admirers.
During the sway OF the Druids In Britain human
sacrifices were made at the festival of Beltine the
British Apollo This festival occurred on May l.
Those Of to-day who celebrate May / by moving
will be interested in odd supersttions and
several practical "donts'' that applicable TO
this ordeal
1t is said that It brings good luck to take the
family Bible. a bag of salt and loaf Of bread
into the new house before anything else. Another
much favored superstition is that one must step
over the threshold for the first time with the right
foot forward. II this done accidentally so much
the. better II is considered lucky II one wears
her best clothes on moving day. The following Is
a list OF the "don'ts
Don't forget to take old shoes; they are In
dispensable for weary feet the day after moving.
Don't send the cat on the journey in a bag.
Many a good and honest kitty has been mad
vertently sat upon by the careless mover
Don't tie Fido at the back of the van once the
latter plan was taken and at the end Of the route
nothing was left Of the dog but his ears.
Don't worry if the excelsior gives out Just use
old newspapers instead.
Don't buy anything more expensive than calico

Don't forget 10 put the palms and rubber plants,
II small enough, into barrels.
Moving day fifty years ago was not a day; but a
