ened with charcoal. Then all those present are
onndfolded and each draws a piece of the cake
from the bonnet. 1t falls to the lot OF the lad who
draws the blackened piece to leap three times
through the flames Of the bonfire, although &C.
cording to tradition the man who in ancient times
was unfortunate enough to draw the blackened
piece was supposed to give himself a literal sac
rihce to the flames In the hope that the god Baal
might be induced to grant a prosperous and pro-
ductive year. To this same origin is traced the
modern Irish custom of making the cattle pass
between fires. lighted at short distances, or Of
having fathers jump or run through the flames
with their children In their arms.
The ancient Romans. unlike the Druids, made
May Day a festival OF flowers instead of an oc-
casion for sacrifices. and consequently 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that most Of our presentday
ideas as to the May holiday in this country may
be traced back to the Romans. Indeed. the
Images OF Flora that graced the Roman festivals
had their prototypes In the Maydolls which were
until q rev years ago universally popular In Eng.

people are inclined to believe that these Maydolls,
