died. The worshippers would then clasp
nandS around this and dance in a circle
around the blazing fire, shouting at the
top or their voices. The sacred fire was
thought safeguard over the people
Tor another year. Fires in homes were
quenched and relighted in the same
manner. Witches, fairies and COLLINS
were thought to come from their I'M
known places of hiding on this night
and go abroad, taking a hand in the
riotous celebrating. This belief was
held in England as late as the seven
teenth century, when farmers still
marched around their fields after dark
carrying torches and uttering verses Of
doggerel to brighten away prowling
COLLINS.
Different Customs MingIe.
These weird and ancient customs and
beliefs, strictly those of the Druids at
first, became mingled with the festivi-
ties of more civilized nations ON the
evening pr eceding All Saints day. Both
celebrations coming on the same date
brought the different customs together
ana these have come down to present
times, greatly changed, but still
spooky' and possessing much that is
strongly remindful of graveyards and
ghostly regions. Supernatural infiu-

ethereal principle conferred upon if
the FACULTY of detaching itself from
corporeal; divination attains its high
est power and Glendower's power To
call spirits from the vastly Deep be-
longs to all.
Ancient Customs Survive.
The Druids' fires are exemplified To-
day by the bonfires built by children
and by gatherings around firesides in
ali homes. FireSide customs and games
are uniform throughout the civilized
world. Nuts and apples form an i'm
portant portion of appropriate edibIes.
Northern England calls Halloween

nuts. They are used not only i'm the
feast, but as means of vaticination in

GREAT VITALITY OF TREES.
Story from Utah Tells Of Felled Giant
Which sprouted Young Growths
from Its Sides.

An illustration of the wonder
ul vitality and reproductiveness
Of the redwood is reported from
Ukiah as existing in the forests OF
Mendicino county. 1t consists
of the trunk of a redwood tree
felled for the manufacture Of shin
giles, which, after lying ON the
ground undisturbed for se.2sral
months, sprouted number of
young trees whose roots had de-
veloped in its own body. This de.
velopment is enormously report
ed, however, as the first case on
record where redwood completely
severed from the stump has pro
duced new growth. Instances
have been frequently recorded of
felled redwood trunks reproduc.
ing a growth Of young timber all
along the line of the prostrate
log, and travellers through the
coast forests have frequently OBJ
served the phenomenon of rows of
well-deyeloped trees growing out
Of the bodies Of those that have
lain long enough on the earth to
perish and decay. Some years ago
Q newspaper correspondent re.
ported the strange phenomenon Of
new redwood growth on a bridge
built of redwood logs across a
Humboldt county stream. The
sides Of this bridge consisted
of two large redwoods, which had
been felled so that the ends rested
in the soil on each bank. All along
the upper side Of each log a row OF
sturdy redwood saplings devel-
oped shortly after the bridge had
been finished, proving that life
was not extinguished in either, al
though totally severed from the
original stumps.

Turkeys Government.

The government Of Turkey is
called in diplomatic language the
Sublime Porte. The origin Of the
term is in the oriental custom OK
administering justice at the gates
of the palace. In time the phrase
became synonymous with the gov
eminent itself. Trojan councils
were held in the gates of Priam's
palace, and Xenophon calls the
Persian court "the Gate" Moham-
med ii, founder Of the present OF
toman empire and sultan from
1451 to 14S1, styled his capital
'sThe Lofty Gate Of the Royal
Tent" Through French, the Ian

FIGURE IN OHIO HISTORY.
Hon. Nicholas Longworth Has Many
sAncestors Who Were Proni-
nent in Affairs Of State.

The coming marriage of Hon.
Nicholas Longworth, representa-
tive from the First district OF
Ohio, to Miss Alice Roosevelt
lends unusual interest to stories
told of some of The early invest
ments Of the Longworth who laid
the foundations Of the. family's
fortunes in Cincinnati, says the
Cleveland Leader.
The first Nicholas Longworth
in that city was a lawyer who prac-
ticed his profession there in the
early years of the last century.
He invested his savings in Cincin
natl lots and in lands in the vicin-
ity of the town, and the subse-
quent rise in real estate made the
Longworth family wealthy.
Sometimes his fees were paid in
singular ways. AT one time, ac-
cording to an old story, he defend
ed man accused of stealing a
horse and was paid with two sec
cnd-hand copper stills. The stills
were stored at the tavern of GER
tain Joel Williams, near the river.
When Longworth presented to the
tavernkeeper his order for the
stills be found that Williams was
desirous Of dickering with the law
yer for the stills inasmuch as he
was about to build a distillery.
In exchange for the two old cop
per stills Longworth received from
the tayernkeeper 33 acres Of land
which became valuable city prop.
cry while Cincinnati was still com
paratiyely young. 1t is said that
so years ago the land alone, not
counting buildings erected upon
il, was worth more than $2,000,-
600. In 1850 Nicholas Longworth
was believed, in Cincinnati, to be
the largest taxpayer in the United
States except William B. Astor, of
New York.

IN THE PALACE or THE COW
Dairy Equipment in Which Perfec
tion Is Reached in the Matter
Of Cleanliness.

The COW barn is of artificial
stone, with a floor Of concrete.
Like the piggery, il is lighted by
electricity at night, says Richard
Powys. in Outing. The partitions
between the stalls are skeleton
bars of metal, extremely simple
but substantial. Arranged in 4
double row, facing the middle
aisle of the building, the animals
take their food from concrete
tr0ughs which run along in front
Of the stalls, these receptacles be
ing filed with drinking water
when emptied of provender. All
refuse is carried out of the build
ing by an overhead trolley, and
there dropped into carts to be car
ried away. Here, as in the piggery,
everything is cleanliness itself,
and there is not even a suggestion
of disagreeable odor.
When the cows are to be MIXED,
the men go into the dairy building,
take a shower bath, so that itmay
be certain that no impurity fingers
about their persons, and put on
clean suits Of white duck. Then
they go to the COW barn, each of
them carrying a tin pail which has
been previously sterilized and
with harmless disinfecting fluid
they wash the udders of the ami
mails. Each man has ten to attend
to, and while the milking is going
on no other person is permitted
to 60 through, or even to enter, the
barn. The milk Of each COW is car
ried separately to the foreman of
the barn, who stands beside a pair
of scales and weighs the milk,
writing down in a book its weight
and the number Of the COW.

ADVENTURE OF AN OCTOPUS
True Story of Eight Armed Beast
Arms of Monster Measure rs
Feet in Length.

Here is a true story of an oc
topus, not the kind that has its
headquarters in New Jersey.
1.-TWO fishermen were plying their
vocation off Great Belle island,
Conception bay, off the Newfound-
land coast. Suddenly they discov-
cred at a short distance from
them dark, shapeIess mass,
floating on the surface of the wa
ter. Concluding that it was
probably part of the cargo of
some wrecked vessel, they ap-
preached it, anticipating a valu-
able prize, and one of them struck
the object with his boathook.
Upon receiving the shock the dark
heap became suddenly animated,
and, spreading out, discovered 4
head, with pair of large, prom
inent, staring eyes, which seemed
to CLEAN with intense ferocity, the
creature at the same time expos
ing to view and opening its parrot
like beak with an apparently hos
tile and malignant purpose. The
men were petrifed with terror and
for a moment so fascinated by the
horrible sight that they we're pow
erless to make a move to defend
themselves.
Before they had time to recov-
er their presence of mind the mon
ster, now but a few feet from the
boat, suddenly shot out from
around its head several long,
heshy arms, graphing with them
for the boat, and seeking to en-
velop it in their folds. Only the
two longest Of these arms reached
the craft, and, owing to their
great length, went completely
over and beyond it. Stiz;ng his
hatchet, with a desperate effort
one Of the men succeeded in sew.
ering these limbs with a single
well-delivered blow, and the crea,
ture,fnding itself worsted, imme-
diately disappeared beneath the
waters, leaving in the boat its am
putated members as a trophy of
the encounter.
cone of the arms was, unfor-
tunately, destroyed before IT'S
value was known, but the other,
when brought to st. Johns and ex-
amined by Rev. NJ. Harvey, was
found to measure no less than 10
feet. The fisherman who acted as
surgeon declares there must have
been at least six feet more left at
tached to the monsters body.
The story is preserved in the pro-
ceedings of the British Geological
society,"
