was the custom Of keeping certain
chickens and calling them sacred. II
some one wanted to know II 4 plan
would succeed, he tried to feed the
chickens. II they ate heartily, It WAS
Z good sign. II they refused to eat.
the plan was probably given mp. When
q Roman died, food and drink were
placed beside his body In the tomb.
Animals were sacrificed, and milk or
wine was thrown on the ground. This
was repeated every year. II the rela-
tives forgot, the soul was supposed to
become evil and TO bring bad luck.
Animals were sacrificed In honor Of
the gods, ~ well as for the spirits Of
men. Pigs. oxen and sheep were the
creatures most often killed. Flour
and salt were sprinkaed over each ami

and then the priest raised q large
knife or an AZ for the death-dealing
blow. Prayers were said BY those

PROPOSE ISSUE OF
NEW CURRENCY IN
FREE IRISH STATE;

DubIin.-Proposals for q new
Irish currency and Irish postage
stamps are being discussed by the
Free State authorities.
Banking circles here are said to
be strongly opposed to any altera-
ton in the currency on the ground
that it will hamper trade and cause
complications by the es- -blishment
of yet another fuctuating foreign
exchange; but natiCn-l sentiment
may sweep these objections aside.
Some predict that before the end
of the year Irish printing presses
will be turning out Irish treasury
notes.
Reckoning by pounds, shillings
and pence will doubtless continue
for some time, and English silver
and copper will continue to circu-
late; but it is anticipated that the
Free States will adopt the decimal
system of coinage as soon as prac-
ticable and thu: Irish dollars and
cents, or whatever their equivalent
Gaelic names may be, will ulti-
mately take he place of the ster-
ling money.
AS for postage stamps, the pro-
posal is that ireland shall content
herself for the present with max
ing an arrangement with Great
Britain for printing a surcharge
inscription, probably consisting of
a shamrock or harp, combined with
the word Erin" in Irish characters
upon the face of the stamps now in
use.
Later on, the Free State will de-
sign its own stamps, and they are
not likely to bear the English kings
image.
