In a 1a•ge sense it may be said that the Eu,;tisb folk generally while iguoring Hallowe'en preutices, uu.- vereally make mental defense of the Hallowe'en time and aptrit and are ef- footed, in a passive and admissive tr,au- ner, by its hold on there through litera- ture rather than thruugh its direct spell Upon their natures, as with all folk of Celtic origin. '1'hertfut e white its re- couittou by the Enrilieh is complete, its obser,•auce le tolerative rather thsu active. Trio Queen herself wee the chief per- sonage iu a marked illustration of this foot in 1876. Hallowe'en was eelebreted with unusual uereinony at her Bellew -el Castle in Aberdeenah.re, Scotland, by the teuentry and eervante of Bahm.rel and Iovergelclie. There ware tor ch - lights processions, extraordinary bon- fires and the burning in effigy of witches and wet -lecke. Nearly 200 torchbea.eis assembled at the castle as the shadows of evening fell In Scotland and Ireland, where uasuper- s- o u super- stition' have bald their w against al 1 change and prngreee; thnaine though undoubted- ly having largely passed by gradual evo- lution from the status of almost savage belief to Chat of loved and cherished cus- tom, there is not another more prized time in the whole veer for deferenee to the universal ewr.y of gentle. witchery and ogetish charm. I nave found that the same, in degtee, hide true in Nor- thumberland, Durham, Northern York- shire, Uu nberlaud and Westmoreland, and in Walea and the Isle of Man. The peop:e of all these regions were originally Celtic, To me the conclusion seem, ir- resistible that tate traditions, super- stitions and practises are not only large- ly of Caltio origin, but that Hallowe eo memories and °harms hold closest sod hugest in the hearte of all folk having descent affinities to the Celtic parent race. My atteutiou was first celled to a study if these linee of distinction through the interest awakened in the persoaal enjoyment of a Hallowe'en feetivity, while wandering among the peasantry of Ireland. It wee nightfall ere my peasant -host and myeelf, who had beeu passing the day amoug the Donegal glens and mountain,, reached the farm homes, where quite e number of country Ilk were already awaiting our arrival, The house itself was' somewhat !ager than the average Irish cabin. It c,nteined three very large square rooms. Above these were f•sirly Spacious lofts, rather close against the thatches, where moat of the twenty stores were placed, and where the end'e family were disposed cf at night in bunks not unlike sailors in a vessel's forecaetl:. But 6.01 on the road etood a mortar - walled barn as large sgiin as the house; and this, swept clean and put to rights, was alae ready for hos,,itahle service. Both house and barn were lighted hril- liantfy—cunaidering the humble means of the host—with hmps, candles, and eyon hers and triers an Irish "sptintsr," or lung sliver of beg wend dated with tallow. With al those couatently arriving, carne' mysterious Little buudles which were secretly edged into the peasants - mother's hands, or dropped with great eff,rt at nonchalance in sumo odd corner, making it easy enough to see that what- ever might be the bounty of the night, each cue had been mindful of the farm er's renal purse and the atsemblage's cone eta mighty needs, all mu th nfterthe manner of our American countryside "donation party," Within, everything the home possessed *bone as brightly as tho faces of all who came. The house- wife seemed swelling and bursting with cheery flurry and hent over pets and kettles at the great fireplace of the rootn; and sundry savory adore promised much for a later hour. The kitchen had been given over to the .youngsters, who were already deep in their Hall .we'en charms and games ; and booming one of them, like the old man who "cared not for the fall," in 1Vill+e's "Saturday Afternoon," I soon won plane and honor. Over every door to house, room or baro, an apple -paring wee hanging, and some maiden's eager eye was watching for him who first paeeed beneath, for that ore the fairies had charmed as her beloved.

A log court house in the , back- woods of 'Tennessee ,was crowded. Sara Hester had sued his wife for divorce and it was expected that the decree would be rendered, hence tho interest exhibited. Sam and his wife, Aunt Nan, wore well known in the neighborhood, and "society was shocked when the re- port that the Ole. man wanted A divorce found circulation. The old man declared that his wife deserted hits and went to live with her daughter, and the woman swore that the old man had drivod her away. Ths testimony on each side was un- satisfactory, but it could be seen that the Judge leaned toward old Sam. When the court had been called to order the Judge said : "Sale, this is a serious affair." "That's what it ia, Jedge." "You and your wife lived to- gether for thirty years or morel" "Goin' on thirty-five ear,Jedge." "And you want to quit 1" "That's it, Jedge.

He had accompanied a bro- ther into the yard to feed the stock, and while the elder brother went to the barn, the youngster tried to catch a pig. The mother of the pig leaped at him and fastened her tusks in the back of the neek, drag- ging him to the ground. Presently several hogs out of the drove rushed at' the child and began to devour hint. The brutes tore his clothing into shreds and all the flesh from his cheeks, arms and legs, lacerating his left side in a horrible manner. 1 -Ie died an hour after his rescue. ----A Sandwich West farmer nam ed Taylor, living on the Malden road, has a flock of turkeys who now realize what a rip roaring spree means. Some time ngo he made a large barrel of grape wine, and, as is the custom, left the skills of the grape in the liquid until after the fermentating process was over. Last Thursday he took the barrel, and, draining out the skint, threw them into the barn yard. The turkeys happened that way and lost no time in eating to their fill of the grape skins. Then t.ommeneed the circus. Some of them flew from one end of the yard to the other. Some wanted to tight, while a few of them turned somersaults and rolled over and over, apparently having a good time. In a very short time they all grew very tired and were lying all over the yard, to all appearances deaf. A few hours later the effects wore off, and they were as seedy a lot of turkeys as could be imagined. The. -..hong -their• 4}owy and the weary droop of their eye- lids told that men are not the only creatures that know what a swelled head is, "Reading in led is strongly ativiee,l against; it 1s injurious." I should say en. I have always found it so. If you get co,n- fortably fixed you read about one page and then find the blooming book isn't cut thud the paper cutter is down stairs, and your pocket knife is in the pocket of your t ruc,ere, hanging away over nearest the co:d,:st win- dow. The colder the night the mote the hook is not cut. You get settled down again, and the lamp smokes. You fix it and drop back again; the pillows you piled rasp have fallen down and your head conies crashing back against the headboard of tiro led. It is late at night, and the hang brings somebody out into a hall with a shriek ot "\Vhat'e the matter?" After a while order is restored and you get quiet, then interested, finally absorbed, and then somebody comes out into the hall crying "What's the matter?" again- You say "Nothing; it's all right." "But your lamp is burning?" "Yea," 1you say, "I am reading." A wail of dismay and rebuke follows this confession, "What! in bed?" SLOW RECOVEI(Y. It is a matter of a qnarter of an hour be- fore the book tastes right again, and then once more the appealing voice comes drift- ing from a distant room, "Are you going to read all night?" You say—but it doesn't matter what you say; the public is not interested in your commonplace remarks. But whatever you do say elicits a pathetic sigh that makes your heart ache and secures you quiet for yourself and your book once more. And then just as you get to a place where you just couldn't atop for anything in the world the beggarly lamp falters, turns yellow, grows blank in the face and goes dead out, dry as a bone There is no fun and no good. reading in bed. ALWAYS CHALLENGED. It doesn't help matters much to sit up in your den, or if you prefer your study, and read. It annoys the rest of the family. I have triod it, and always experience great difficulty in getting to led quietly after one o'clock. One of two challenges in quick, frightened tones that always thrill me with terror by their very earnestness I am sure to encounter. Sometimes I remove arty slippers and glide along the hall with the stealthy tread df a ghost that has intentions on the hat rack- The very quiet is start- ling and the challenge comes:— "Who's there?" And I have to sae "It's me," I never think to say "Itis I, ' and explain. On the other hand. I sometimes seek to avoid un- pleasant notoriety by walking boldly clown the hall, with the tramp of a policeman. Then the voice, or it may be two or three voices, says or say:— "What's that?" Which is still worse, because the implica- tion is that I ani not a human being, but a "thing."—Robert J. Bur•dette in New York Herald. She Married Young. An amusing incident happened some time ago in one of the Paris courts of justice. A vain, haughty woman was called as a wit- ness, when the magistrate inquired her age- "Tweuty-five last August," promptly re- plied the lady. The next witness was a young men who at once acknowledged that he was twenty- seven years of age - "Are you related to the last witnese ? " queried the magistrate. "Yes. I am her son," he replied. "Ah!" mused the magistrate, "your mother must have married very young." He Wondered. Here is a little story that Dr. San}uel Lawrence told at the fair yesterday. The doctor was in a cemetery at Plymouth, when he saw an old man weeping over a tombstone. "Have you lost a dear rela- tive?" he asked with sympathy. "No," said the man, pointing to the in- scription that said: "Here lies a lawyer end an honest man," "but I was wondering how they happened to lacy two poor fellows iu one grave."—Lowell Citizen.

BETTER NOT TO THINK, How Vona** loads titter Themselves t* Debi of Worry, A .chl., of a boy was -ployghing in a fieldsturdy oyer In unpl arse} tt fe w d. ays ago. 'r w KM was blistering hot. A lean man sat on a fence, in the shade of a maple tree, t:alfl3ly looking at the boy. His trousers wereeut his hoots and his chip half was turned up behind. Another man, apparently a straugor, was passing by and stopped and leaned on the faucet near the man with the chip h. J'hatat roust be hot and tiresome work suelt weather as this," remarked the stran- ger, referring to the ploughing. "Yee," i•ti.nied tial other, "but the boy do!tt ..tau l i:. They re all alike, for that matter. "1Vho ore all alike•:" 'raked the stranger, "Fenn h.tnde," seta the man on the fekee, "end it's a goo.1 toiug for t1,u fernier they are alt alike.-' The mak watched the boy as he jerked the heavy plough aroakd at the end of the furrow and started back autos the field to make another one. "Its a good thing, I tell you," the man uu the fence went on. "It's a good thing fon the independent farmer that his hired hell has never got into the habit of stopping to think." "Alt," said the stranger- "How's that?" "Flow's that?" exclaimed the man on the fence. "Well, sir, it's something like thin, Take that boy, for instance. He'll answer for 'em all. Last week by the way, he left a farmer lie was working for, because the farmer reduir ed him to walk live miles on an errand. The boy said he wouldn't work for any man who wanted hint to do work that would tire a horse out, and so he left and went to work for the man who owns this farm. Now, .,for instance, he went to ploughing in that field early this morning. By 6 o'clock to -night, if the harness holds out and the plow dont break, he'll have close on to au acre and a half of ground turned over. Yes, just about, for he's turning a good nine -inch furrow slice. 'Well, now, he's walking along there like a machine, and just as fixe as not is wondering how arty man could be so hard on a boy as to expect him to walk five miles on an errand with the thermometer iu the eighties. Now, suppose that by some sudden inspiratidtt he should look back over the area of ground he has plough- ed to -day and should atop to think a minute. And then suppose ho took to counting those furrows and then to pacing out the length of 'em. What would he learn? Why, he'd learn that each one of these furrows was 210 feet long, and that before he got his day's word done he would have to go back and forth over that field 420 times. When that fact had worked its way under his hat, suppose he should be moved to pick up a fiat stone and do a little ciphering on it, admitting that he knows how to cipher, for the sake of the argument. Then what would he find? He would see set before him, in .figures that wouldn't lie, the to him rather astounding fact that, in slouching along after that plough across the field these 420 times, he would walk about as near to sixteen miles and a half as multi- plication and division could bring it, with the sun cutting into him for all it was worth, jeet like it's doing now, to say nothing of the wear and tear on his lungs howling at the horses, as you hear him now, and the not -altogether moderato exercise he gets by jerking that plough around 840 separate and distinct times. "Now, then, if he should by any miracle be led to thus unravel the mystery of a real honest day's ploughing, do you suppose that when he quit at night, he'd jog along home as chipper as a cricket, put up and care for his horses, milk half a dozen cows, and do a lot of other chores about the house, all for $10 a month and board, and go to bed feel- ing thankful that he had such a nice easy place, and wasn't working for a man who expected him to walk five miles in the blazing sun? Do you suppose he would? Not much ho wouldn't! Not much! "Consequently, I say that it's a good thing for the independent farmer that his hired help haven't the habit of stopping to think. If they had, their number would have to be doubled, and wages would go up to at least $12 a month. It's funny that some one doesn't give the hired help a hint or two, ain't it?
