TWICKENHAM.
Famous as the abode of Many English
Literary Giants.

Famous as the abode Of Many English
Literary Giants.
The place to which the lover Of Eng.
1ish literature will sooner or later turn
his steps is Twickenham. No other
small town can boast Of having been
the residence and beloved abode Of so
many famous literary lights. With 1t
are associated the immortal names Of
Pope. Horace Walpole. Swift. Gay.
Lady Wortley Montagu. Gibson, Bos-
we'll. Johnson. Tennyson and Dickens.
Surely this is enough to make any
place doubly immortal! Twickenham
was we'll nicknamed by Horace Wal
pole the Baiae. or Tivoli, Of England.
.&or 1t has truly been to London what
Baiae was to ancient Rome-indeed, in
"A far higher degree The big red brick
Ga,ouse in Montpelier road where Alfred
TennysOn lived for so many years of
his earlier married life was the one in
which many of his earlier poems We're
written. There his son Lionel, the Sec
aond Lord Tennyson, was born, and
there the author of "Idylls' entertained
snany of his literary friends and ac-
41uaintances. That house should surely
.be sacred to all lovers of English liter
azure, which saw the dawn Of "In Me-

GROUND HOG DAY.
Survival sf a Festival of the Middle
Aces In EUROPE

The origin of ground hog day is &C.
counted FOR in the following way: Feb.
2. or Candlemas day. was a favorlte
holiday, marked by public sayety and
~ ceremonies in Europe during the mid
sdle ages. 1t is still marked there by
the closing of banks and offices, but
not otherwise, outside of the reading
of church services. In the church cal
andar it is known as the Feast of Puri-
7Glcation of the Virgin and was first in
stituted by Pope Sergius about the
year GS4 A. u. The popular name of
the day is derived from the early GUS
tom Of lighting up the churches with
candles and carrying these in process
sion on this festival.
AS to the weather superstition giving
to Candlemas The name of ground hog
day, that is a worldwide fable. In Ger
many it is the badger that breaks his
winter nap on this day to essay the
fhankless task of weather prophecy: in
France and Switzerland it is the mar
mot and in England the hedgehog. OBJ
.Servation shows, says the Housekeep
~er, that none of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed; also
that the weather on this date does not
accurately foretell that Of the follow
ing two months, as is supposed. But
it Is q general truth that in temperate
ATTITUDES warm and sunny weather In
the first half Of February is apt to be
followed by change and cool spring.
and on this fact our ground hog and
badger stories are founded.
