According TO Scottish firesids

Brown in his vulgar Errors" three
days were borrowed by March from
April, with view to the destruction
OF some sheep, but the popular fiction
of the borrowed days is really Of older
date.

The origin and meaning of the ex-
preston are obscure 1t may probably
be founded upon that relapse into win
try weather which Is often noticed at
the close of March and which seems
to snatch few days from the promise
Of opening spring. A similar fancy
