"Aprii Fool" Franks.

The custom Of playing joke upon
ones neighbor upon the first of April
is OF very ancient origin, dating so
far back in the past that we are IN
able to tell just when or with what
nation it had its birth
Among the Hindus there is feast
which is still observed, called the
"Huli," which. continuing several
days, terminates on the 31st of March.
One of the distinctive features Of this
feast is that every one endeavors to
send his neighbor upon some errand
to some imaginary person, or to per
sons whom he knows are not at home;
and then all enjoy a good laugh at the
disappointment of the messenger The
observance of this custom by this
peculiar people seems to indicate that
it had a very early origin among man
kind.
