THE APPLE A LOVE CHARM.

There is a mine of quaint and su-
perstitious customs connected with the
apple which would make capital read

he gathered between the covers of 4
volume. The apple in times past has
been used as an omen of luck-good
and bad-success in love and marriage,
and in some cases To ward off dis
ease.
4 curious yet romantic belief which
still exists in some parts of the south
of England is to fasten several apples
onto strings. after which the strings
are hung and twirled before the fire.
The owner of the apple which first
falls off will soon be married. As
each ones apple falls off so does the
order of matrimony proceed. Single
bliss is the lot of the owner of the
last apple on the string.
In times past the apple has played
a prominen, part in the traditions of
Scotland. and even now in the High
lands the peeling of an apple To reveal
the letter Of Il young girls future hus-
bands name is regarded with supersti-
tious awe.
Many of these traditions which were
taken So seriously by our ancestors
have developed in this enlightened age
into a pastime for merry social gather
inss. Some of the old Halloween Gus
toms, which are still believed in some
parts of the country. are turned into
forms of popular amusement.
\ more serious and recent custom,
however, consists of bowl of water
with a number of apples floating
about. Fond mothers have to drop
forks into the water from a distance of
about four feet with the hope of pierre

means. 4 busheI of "slubs"-pearls of
irregular shape-has been discovered in
a sacrifiCial mound in the Ohio valley.
The pearls were all pierced and burnt.
and therefore. intrinsiCally valueless.
Still more remarkable are the discover
les in mounds of gorgets, which must
have been beautiful when the red chiefs
wore them. All the gorgets found have
