twas BY a she wolf IN q cave near
this spot. Part Of the unspeaknble
mysteries % the Lupercnlia was cele-
hrated IN such a cave. But much Of
this inference Il pure afterthoaght.
Il does not affect in the least the
theory that the festival was begun as
a recognition Of the prodlgi0us powers
Of nature.
Choice BY Lots.
During the Jnpercaiia Il was the
custom Of the male ceiebrants 10 draw
from a box the names OF young women
and girls. possession OF whom was thus
determined By chance. Il was the
policy Of tho early Church 70 adapt to
its own system those customs o. the
pagans which IL could o extirpate.
This method Of mating or betrothal re.
sisted prohibition and even substitn.
ton. Il Is related that St Francis
de Sales and other Christian pastors
put the names Of saints on the lots 20
be drawn. IN the place Of those OF
maidens. and charged the young men
who received them TO initiate those
saints throughout the year. But while
they may have tried very hard to obey
his injunction. Il appears that the lot.

Juno. but In honor OF that which she
~Dersonihed. continued in secret The
Church could not do otherwise than
tolerate the custom, when the name
Of a patron saint was substituted By
popular fancy for that Of Juno.
There is no clear aocoans Of how
81. Valentine came TO be made the
bishop Of the diocese Of love. Nhich
Donpe so prettily describes. There
are several st. YalenLnes. and Il Is
not even known 10 a certainty which
Of these owns the invisible mItre.
The one who died q martyr at Rome

ken Of ia this connection Some
authorities say that he was the bishop

festival o. ~. Valentine. Il Il well
known that IN many languages ore
letter Of the alphabet may easily be
substituted for another through pops
lar error IA the spelling Of particular
words. X ls suspected BY some that
the name IL primarily derived from

lover OF women As g~allantry and
valance. in another sense. are syn
onymous. Il was easy for @Eslatin"
10 become ~"yalantan" or Hvalantin-"
Il is pleasant TO leave al these con
lectures aside after simply passing
them in review, and to determine.
merely for the delectabie purposes
OF the imagination. that We viii join
with Charles Lamb and other most
worthy dreamers in regarding St. Val
eaune as a real bishop. who has q
very charming mission in connection
with the love Affairs Of humanity.
Thus does the inimitabie Lamb apos-
trophiEe him: Like unto thee. as
suredly. there is no mitred father I'm

with thousands and ten thousands
little Loves, ard the air Is

even in this country certain OF It's well

twentieth century thu far seems 10 be
conservative as well as progressive.
Not very long ago Il was thought
that s.. Valentines day was given over
almost absolutely to the sorry wits
and their patrons who made Il q con.
venience for vulgar lampooning and
anonymous libel. But even then the
pretty sentiment belonging 10 Il had
not been altogether lost. aud since
then Il has steadily revived. The proof
OF the assertion is in the fact that
there d now a greater demand for
printed valentines OF real poetic and
artistic merit than ver before. and
that those OF the cheap. Mliterate and
malicious type are comparatively lit.
