STILL BELIEVES IN FAIRIES.
irish Object to House on Old Fort
Grounds.

Dublin. Ireland.-That the ancient
belief in fairies still flourishes in Ire
land was shown by discussion which
took place at n recent meeting of the
Athlone Rural District council The
matter upon which the subject of the
fairies cropped up was a proposal TO
build a laborer's cottage on a site in
close proximity to an ancient Danish
"rath," or fort, as these places are
held in great reverence amongst the
country people, n proposal was made
than an alternative site should be
procured.
The tradition is that the "raths''
are sacred to the fairies, who there
hold their midnight revels and dance
upon the sward in the moonlight. The
peasantry believe that any interfer-
cnce with such places would be Wis
tied by the vengeance of the "wee
people," and that this would be man
ifested in various ways, such as an
epidemic of disease amongst the cat
tie. lack of success in farming opera
tions or even death in the family of
the offender One councillor, who Is
also a magistrate, declared that he
would not like to interfere with the
fort, whilst another said: "If the
cottage is built there It will not be
lived in, and it would be better to
abandon the site" \ committee was
appointed to see whether a more suit
able site could be procured.
