Old French Bonfire.

Probably the strongest detail record
ed of the old midsummer eve bonfires
is one in connection with those that
used to be lighted in the Place de
Greve in Paris. The main constituent
of the bonfire was tree, which the
king was accustomed to fire with his
own hands, the ashes being after
wards carried home by the people for
good luck. Louis XIV. was the las
king who did his part. A mysterious
item of earlier times was the burning
in the bonfire of a barrel, bag or bas-
ket full of cats. The registers of Paris
show that a hundred sous were paid
to an official for having provided dur
ing three years (1571-3) "all the cats
required, as usual, for the fire." and
also in one year, when the king was
present, "a fox, to give pleasure to his
majesty, and for having provided a
great bag of linen in which the said
cats were"

The farm hands,
colored men, had washed al 49,.

the table. Soon their dinner ap
peared.
There was some kind of boiled
pork-a long. low oblong of pure
white fat, with just one Unread of
lean running through IL; and there
was pone, delicious pone made by the
Southern cook; and there were pota-
toes, coffee and black molasses.
The men put the black molasses
on their fat pork. The farmer said:

molasses. | like it myself. The long
