In ancient Remo there was held in May a feetival called the Lemuria, or feast of the Lemures, which was a ceremony in honor of the tenths se departed souls. It became with tho' Romans what .we should call 'bad form" to have matrimonial feasts at the session cf a solemn ritual, being no doubt thought to be au insult to the dead to marry at such a time. From this a number of stories grew ef the revenge made by the outraged ghosts upon those who dared to disre- gard them, and it anything unfortu- nate happened to a couple who had been married in May it would, of course, have been put down to retri- bution. So the repugnance to May weddings arose, and its influence has lasted ever se-rie, even to our time. - Exchange, Minaret's: Liniment Cures Dandruff. Smokeless Powder.
