NEEDFIRE OLD FOLK CUSTOM
Part Of the Ritual Of Publication That
Has Survived In Scotland Until
Recently.

In folk custom, needfire is fire kim
died by friction of two sticks Of wood
or Of a rope on wooden stake to
ward of demons Of disease. Among the
many customs and beliefs connected
with fire one of the most important is
that Of ritual publication. The new
IRE is supposed to regenerate, as fire
sacrifice is designed to sustain, the
invisible beings. Needfire is prac-
tice, usually, Of shepherd peoples to
ward of disease from the flocks. In
historic times the sparks for kindling
the needfire were obtained by twirling
a wooden peg around wooden post.
As in the case Of new fire. the need
fire was almost always accompanied
with the extinguishing Of the fires Of
the locality, and the neighbors also
rekindled their fires from it as in the
new fire ceremony. In practice, the
people passed, or the herds were driv-
en- through or between the flames of
the needfire for publication. The need
fire custom survived In the highlands
OF Scotland until recent date, and
probably traces of this superstition
still exist in parts of Europe.

A deal was closed in this city late
Yesterday afternoon whereby Ike Ber-
man became the owner Of the stock
and fixtures of the Palace Haber-
dashery company, and will take charge
of the same just as soon as an in
ventory can be taken of the stock.
Aaron Segal who has been manager
Of the Palace company, will retire
from business temporarily and will
devote his time to other interests.
The Palace stock is one Of the finest
to be found in this part of the country
and contains many of the bast lines
of merchandise. 1t is Mr.. Berman's
intention to conduct mammoth sale
at the Palace building in order to re-
duce stock and when this sale is over
he will combine his own large stock
with that which he has purchased,
and will occupy the building now con-
tanning the Palace stock, and this
will give him one of the finest stores
in this part of the state.
Mr.. Berman has been engaged in
business in this city during the past
twenty-four years, starting in busi-
ness in "a small way and gradually
building up the business by honest
dealings and squire business methods
until he has come to be looked upon
as one of the leading merchants of
the city.
We congratulate Mr.. Berman on the
purchase and wish him the very best
of success in his enlarged venture.
