Feast Observance.

The feast of All Saints will be observed
today in all Catholic and Protestant and
Reformed Episcopal churches. Tomorrow
Will be observed in the Catholic churches
as All Souls day. The Feast of All Saints
occurring this year on a fast day Fri
dayi, Pope Plus has issued special edict
granting diSpenSation from abstinence
for today. a copy of the ediCt was sent
to Cardinal Gibbons. who, through his
secretary, has notified the pastors of the
churches.
All Saints day is held in commemora-
ton of all saints who are not comment
GRATED on other feast days. In the Prot
estant and Reformed Episcopal churches
he festival also combines in measure
the idea of All Souls day. In the COM
munion service, besides memOrializing be
fore God the lives of martyrs and con-
fesSOTS and the great army of faithful
souls of every age and cline. special at
tentiOn is devoted to the memory Of the
deceased held dear by ties of kindred and
affection.
The object of All Souls day. as OBJ
served in the Catholic churches. is to al
leviate by prayers <and almsgiving the
sufferings of souls in purgatory. For a
long time no special day was appointed
for the commemoration of all the depart
ed who have not attained to perfect life.
Among the carly Christians the names
of the deceased were entered upon the
diptychs. or lists used at the altar. from
which the priest read the names of those
for whom he was required to pray. In
the sixth century it vas customary i'll
Bencdictjre monasterics for a commem-
GRAFTON Of all tn" departed brethren to be
held at Whitsuntido. In Spain the me-
mortal Of All Souls was celebrated in the
time Of Saint Isidorc on the octave of

Popular Fad.

One of the most popular fads last night
was the use of long tin tubes through
which the boys propelled beans or putty
at passersby, or ratified showers of the
missiles against window panes. Tin
cans and other discarded articles in some
instances including defunct cats. We're
tied to door knobs, and the door bells
violently rung.
In few instances the strict injunction
of Mai Sylvester was disobeyed and flour
was thrown upon pedestrians. Several
offenders against the police order were
taken into custody. especially in the
eighth precinct, where by midnight six
teen lads had been haled before Capt
Dayle or the desk sergeant, and We're
charged with all degrees of disorder.
In the homes and halls of Washington
there We're many Halloween celebrations,
i'm which the young and old folks as well
made merry and INDUCED in games and
pranks. There We're pumpkin parties"
ghost parties" and parties with other
designations, in which witches, ghosts,
bats. black cats and various uncanny
things were features.

He Wishes Old Time Customs.
AN OLD vERMoNTER.

Renewing my subscription to The
New England Homestead, 1 wish to ex-
press appreciation of the way 1t battles
for the cause of the common producer,
or the farmer. l believe the pleasures
of the sportsmen often detract much
from the comforts of the farmer. For
instance at one of the old-time Vermont
homes. known as Brookdale farm, Is q
brooklet of $50 rods through meadows
and cultivated fields, giving 800 rods OF
brook banks that are cared for, together
with q substantial bridge built by the
owner of the farm. Three score and ten
years ago, the writer could In short
time catch q meal of trout for family
use, and in those days the population
was five to one, what it Is at present..
Schools were attended by 40 to 90 chill
dren, where there are barely handful
to-day.
New sporting leagues have been form
ed to make laws for the protection Of
the finny tribe. Now we have protec-
tion, and no fish for the land owners.
II perchance q spotted beauty is allured
to our cooling spring waters, he Is spot
ted by sharpers.
Again, for 80 years q flock of sheep
were kept upon the lands for pleasure
and profit, but sportsmen with their dogs
and guns have all but stamped out tho
industry and made it Improbable. Dogs
are sometimes useful, out when they are
kept without any other use than rowing
over hills and worrying and killing
sheep, they should cease to exist. What
little we have for damage incurred by
dogs Is not effective, owing to the lack
of Identification.
We are told the automobile has come
to stay, and 30 has the horse. A horse
is an intelligent, domesticated animal
possessing love for his master, while an
automobile Is . machine made by man,
without instinct, and when put into use,
charged with dangerous explosive
power and guided by daredevil In hu-
man form, It becomes nuisance on our
highways, dangerous to life and prop
erty. Men who have done life work
in producing food for the support OF
mankind, and now passing from the sill
very to the golden age, should have pro-
lection upon the highways to enjoy
a. much a. possible the life that 10
now left them.-New England Home
