TELL WEATHER BY ONIONS
French Peasants Plant Their Crops in
Accordance with These Pc
; culiar Signs.

One Of the rites performed by the
French peasants on New Years eve is
the forecasting OF the weather for the
coming year by means of onions. When
the bells ring for midnight mass they
scoop ont the miGdles OF 10 onions,
set them t. row On the Kitchen table
iill them with salt and name them for
the months of the year. Then. when
they return from mass they examine
the condition Of the salt. II It has
melted In any OF the months" those
months will be rainy: II the salt re.
mains dry II indicates drouth. II half.
melted tn, first fortnight OF the month
will be wet
The peasants have such implied,
faith IN this means OF foretelling the
weather that they plant their crops in
accordance with the prophecy of the
onions.
