rs General Selection 10 Simply the
Survival Of One Of the Oldest
supersttons

The supertitions relating to mar
rage are perhaps the quecrest Of all
supefstitions. Even the custom Of
the bride tossing her bouquet TO the
bridesmaids is pure superstition,
though we scarcely consider it such
since it is 80 universally in vogue.
Even this superstition does not COM
pare with some Of the others.
Our forefathers believed in mag
ical invocations, love philters and
HASTINGS. June was then, as now,
the month Of months. The Romans
considered the most fortunate month
Of the year for the season Of mar
riage was June.
If there happened to be full
moon on the wedding day this was
especially fortunate. They also be-
lieved that it meant woe to the
couple married in May, and this
month was always avoided if pos
sible because it was believed that
then the people united in marriage
would be under the influence Of spir-
its adverse to happy households
In those days the marriage was
never considered fortunate if the
bridal party, in going to church, met
monk, a priest, hare, a dog,
cat, a lizard, or serpent; while all
would go well if it we're a wolf, a
spider or a toad. ~

BELLS and steenIe.

The church spire at ShaIheet, Isle
of Wight, England. is now being pull
ed down. There is curious couplet
relating to this spire, which runs:
THE Shalheet poor and silly people
sold their bells to build a steepIe."
And the local tradition is that about
century ago, when the building OF
steeples was the fashion, the parish
toner's sold the peal Of bells which
hung in the fine old square Norman
tower to the inmates OF a French mon
astery and with the money thus OBJ
tanned erected a steeple ON the top
OF the tower The erection has been
an eyesore to archaeologists ever
since, and much has been written
deprecating It's existence, but the
parishioners have been satisfied with
their steeple until just recently, when
Il was discovered that It was In a
very dangerous state. and it's weight
was seriously damaging the old tower
beneath II has therefore been decid-
ed to pull down the structure. and an
urgent appeal is being made for funds
TO remove II and TO renovate the an
cient tower
