been transacting some business, raised
her head, and frigid nod passed be-

All Fools Day.

The custom of playing pranks on
April fools day probably had its origin
in France, the first nation to begin the
new year Jan. 1 instead of March %.
Before the change April was the day
when the merrymaking of the New
Years celebration eliminated In the
paying OF gifts and visits in return for
those already bestowed. When the re-
formed calendar In 1864 made the LIST
of January the beginning Of the new
year, April ! was the time for pre-
tended gifts and visits of mock cere-
mOny to make fools of those who had
forgotten the change in dates.
The Romans had holiday similar In
character to this, although not coming
at the same time of year, the satur-
MALTA, and in Hindustan the feast Of
the Hull, on March 81, has for its chief
diversion the sending of people on
fruitless errands.
In Scotland they have a trick for
April fools day which never grows
stale. If fellow can be found simple
enough to undertake it, he is given a
note to carry to certain person. He
reads it and says it is not for him, but
that he is to go tO-naming another
man-and from there he is sent to an
other and so on until the bearer grows
tired or sees n light. The note con-
tains the lines:
This is the first of Aprile;
Hunt the gowk another mile.

Egg Superstitions.

There are many superstitions about
the egg. In Scotland and Ireland chill
dren are taught by their nurses to
crush the shell after eating an egg or
to push the spoon through the bottom
in the form of a cross, showing a lin
gering relic of the once general super
stitiOus belief that witches lived in
eggshells ard made boats of them,
casting spells upon the household.
In Italy it was believed that an egg
laid by n white hen in a new nest on
Easter day would cure pains in the
head or stomach; that broken in a
vineyard it would prevent it's suffering
from hail or similarly would save a
field from frost, and its possession
gave one the power to see-witchCs. II
was also believed that an egg laid on
Good Friday, thrown on the fire, would
eXtinguish it, while the devil would be
killed if shot with an egg laid on
Christmas.-SelfC Culture Magazine.

Il used to like to start out first in the

Mail Shirt of n Dervish Warrior.

The shirt is made of rings, every ring
from a piece of steel wire IL inches
long and about one-sixteenth of an
inch thick. The ends of the piece Of
wire are fiattened out, holes are punch
ed through them, one end Is turned on
to the other, and they are fastened to-
gether by a small riyet Every ring
connects four others. The wire differs
somewhat in thickness, not by design
seemingly SO as to make one part Of
the shirt stronger than another, but
from material of uniform thickness
running short. In parts where the
rings are free to jingle together they
are worn very thin. Round the neck
is a band of three thicknesses Of red
leather, stiff like the stock worn for
merly in our army. 1t is 24 inches
high and on the outside is decorated
with ornamental lines like toolings
made by a bookbinder. - Notes and

The Columbian Club yesterday con.
tracted with the Slayton Lyceum
beureau for the following course of
lectures for the season of 1900 and 1901:
Gen. John b. Gordon, Col. Geo. w. Balm
John Temple Graves, the Ariel Musical
company and MIR. Carter, magician. II
is an unusually high grade course. The
people of Audubon should be congratu.
lated that so splendid course is put
within their reach and at reasonable
rates. Gen. Gordon's lecture on the
Last Days of the Confederacy is one OF
the best lectures delivered to American
audiences. 1t is celebrated and deserves
to be. Col. Balm is one OF the great
orators OF the Fcountry. while Jol n
Temple Graves is an accomplish
author and orator. The other two mum.
bers are very highly recommended and
altogether we think this is far above any
course Of entertainments that have ever
been offered to Audubon people.
