MYSTERIES OF HALLOW-EVE.

Written for the Indianapolis Journal.

All boys and girls know that next Thursday, October 31, will be All-Hallow Even, though most of them corrupt its name to "Hallow-Eve." They know that it is a night of mirth and mystery, specially devoted to mischief, fun, incan tatione, divinations, charms and spells, but very few of them or their elders understand its real significance, or can tell whence it derives its name.

It is many centuries since the Roman Church, finding it impossible, from the great and constantly increasing multitude of the saints, to set apart a separate day for each one, decreed that No vember 1st should thenceforward be kept as a day in honor of all the saints, and that it should be known ae All Hallowmas or All Saints' day, and that the night of October .'{1st, immediately preceding it, should thereafter ba kept as a vigil, and be known as All Hallow Eve, these occasions being still observed in the Catholic, Episcopul and Lutheran Churches.

From its tirs.t origination Hallow Eve Has been invested with a peculiarly mystic character. It is an almost universal superstition that,supernatural influences then have unusual power that devils, witches and fairies are abroad that all spirits are free to roam through space, and that the spiritual element in all living humanity can be detached from corporal restraint and made to read his own future, or to reveal to others what fate may have in store for them. As there is nothing in the church celebration of the ensuing day of All Saints to justify these singular ideas and customs associated with Hallow Eve, and as uoce of them are of a religious character, we may justly regard them as relics of pagan times.

In all ages and countries Hallow Eve has been deemed, as it still is, the occasion par excellence for divining Lhe answer to that momentous question which absorbs so large a share of the thought of romantic young men and maidens: "Who is to marry whom?" The means employed to gain this muchdesired information are as' quaint and curious they are numerousutid varied. For this purpose every time and every country—almost every district of every country—haa had its own charms and spells, peculiar to itself, aud they have furnished an almost inexhaustible theme for folk-pools and compilers of folklore.

Those of Scotland have b-en most graphica'ly described by that greatest of all noets of the people, Robert Burns. In "his poem of "Hallow'een" he has given us a most vivid account of more than half a score of Hallow Eve charms and spells peculiar to the Scottish peasantry.

In a very old book of folk lore, called "Ve True Arts to Reticle ye Future," I tied the following: "If a maid would know ye name of yo man she is to mHrry, let her on All Hallow E'en eteal out to a lime-kiln and throw therein a clue of blue yarn, still holding to ye other end. Presently ye end in ye kiln will be sharply pulled. Then ye maid must say, 'Who holds?' whereupon ye voice of her future husband will pronounce his name, both ye Christian aud ye surname." The only obstacle to the EUCCPFSLUI performance of this spell is the dillioulty of finding an old lime kiln, but as lime kilns will be in great demand among our young women when the important statement mtulo in the above paragraph becomes generally knowr, aud as a demand for any article iu this country is speedily met by an abundant supply, the number of lime kilns will soon be largely augmented, to the great delight-of anxioup, match-mak-ing mammas and their dutiful offspring.

Water, nuts and apples bear a prominent part in the spells and charms of Hallow Eve. A quaint, old book of charms, published in Edinburgh in 1070, entitled "Old Father Time's Bundle of Faggots Xewiy Bound Up," declares that an infallible means of gett-ific a view of your future husband or wife is to go to bed on Hallow Eve, with a glass of water, in which a small sliver of wood has been placed, standing on a table by your bedside. In the night you will'dream of falling from a bridge into-a river, aud of being rescaed by your future wife or husband, whom you will see as distinctly as though viewed with naked eyes. This charm is thus alluded to by the English poet, Gay: -Last Hallow-Jive I longed my love to see. And tried a spell to call her up to me With wood and water standing by my side. I

dreamed a dream and saw my own sweet bride."

In connection with this spell I am ramiuded of a curious circumstance which came under my immediate observation. While visiting my younger brother in Newton, Mass., some years ago, my sis ler-in-law complained at the break-fast-table, on. the morning after Hallow Eve, that she had spent a most wretched night. On my inquiring the cause she stated that she hail had a strangely vivid and most singular dream, from which she had awakened with a feeling of the most distressing exhaustion. Sue dreamed that she was walking along the bank of a riv6r when a gentleman, whose face she saw as plainly and distinctly as she had ever seen anything, and whose features were indelibly imprinted upon her memory, fell from a bridge, erected across the stream. Without a moment's hesitation she plunged into the water, and, after a desperate struggle, succeeded in bringing him safely ashore, whereupon she awoke, feeling as much exhausted .is if she had actually passed through such a thrilling experience.

In less than throe months from that time my brother sickened and died. His your.g widow continued to reside in the same place with her two children. Four years later I again paid her a visit, and while a guest at her house I learned that a bachelor friend of mine would be in the neighboring city of Boston on a certain date, and I telegraphed him to visit me at Newton. 1 met him at the railway station and drove him to my sis-ter-in-law's residence.

It was a beautiful summer evening, and, lookiug from the carriage as wo approached the house, we saw her watering some llowers on the lawn. At sight of her my friend seemed 60 much agi tated that I anxiously inquired the reason of his discomposure and askod if he had ever seen the lady before. He had barely time to answer "Yes, once, and I will tell you all about it when I have an opportunity," before we had alighted aud were in her presence. To my amazement she seemed quite as much discomposed as my friend had been.

He subsequently told me that on the very Hallow Eve when my sister in-law had dreamed the dream above mentioned, he had tried the spell of the glass of water and the splinter of wood recommended by my "Old Father Time's Bundle of Faggots," which I had loaned him, and that he had dreamt of falling off a bridge into the river, and cf being rescued by the lady in whose house we then were, and whom he sow in his vis-

ion ae distinctly as when he beheld her that night on the lawn. I also learned from my sister-in-law that my friend was the very man whom she had dreamed of rescuing on that same Hallow Eve.

The story of this most curious coincidence, which is literally true, exactly as stated, is made complete by the fact that this pair of dreamers were made man and wife before another Hallow Eve.

In a folk-lore book called "Ve Mysteries of ye Witchcraft," which is the oldest in my collection, there is given charm "by which ye maid may know ye man she loves be true." To perform this the maid is directed to pluck, at midnight on All Hallow Eve two monthly roses with long stems, naming one herself and one for herself and other for her lover. She must then directly to her sleeping-room, without speaking to any one, and, kneeling f"* side her bed, must twine the

T« lne. twine and Intertwine. Let mv love be wholly mine. It bis'heart be ktr.d and true. Deeper grow his rose's hue.

of

If her ss'ain be faithful the color the rose representing him will grow darker and more intense.

Of all the many Ilaliow Eve spells and charms, associated with nuts, one of the oldest is that which prevails in some of England's northern counties and which is to the efl'dct that if a young man or woman will go at midnight on Hallow Eve to a walnut tree and walk around it three timee, crying out eaca time, "Let him (or her) that is to be my true love

wife or husband will be seen in the tree gathering its fruit. The poet Gay thui refers in his "'Pi'.Btorals" to this custom Last Hallow Eve I sought

A very old Hallow Eve divination, for merly much practiced by English rus tics, to tell from what quarter of the compass the future husbaud or wife will come, is performed by stealing out, unobserved, at midnight, plucking a small lock of hair from one's head and casting it to the breeze. Whatever direction it is blown toward is believed to be the lo cation of the future matrimonial part ner. This divination is also mentioned by Gay in his "Pastorals," as follows: I pluck this lock of hair from out my head. To tell whence comes the oue that I shall wed. Fly, silken hair, lly all the world around, Cntil ymi reach the spot where my true love Is found.

There can be no question that many of the obsei vances of Hallow Eve are derived from those of the old Roman festival of Pomona, when divinations and tho consulting of oracles and omens were universally practiced. Lighting bonfires is one of the oldest and most universal of Hallow Eve usages, yet the Germanic and Celtic nations were both accustomed to kindle them on October 31, centuries before they ever heard of the christian religion, and its vigil of All Hallow Eve. It is probable that the boys of thos9 old races indulged, on that date, in the same mischievous practices which now afford BO much pleasure to our own youngsters, and no doubt the little sons and daughters of the ancient Romans, Germans and Celts carminated the municipality for in the fulgar "painted the town red") quite as extensively as our own children do now by ringing door bells and runnir away before they can b^ answered, beating in the panels of front duors with cabbage heads, misplacing signs, gates and fences, and raising Old Nick generally.

NKW YOI:K, October :'0.—Dr. King, chief of the medical staff of the Manhattan hospital, yesterday pronounced Jockey Day out of danger. Day was hurt while ridiDg Snapper Garrison's horse, Pocatello, at Jerome park, October Sih. His horse slipped and the horses and their riders piled on top of him. Day was taken to the Manhattan hospital uncouscious and Drs. King and Biersuff found h9 had received a depressed fracture of the skull, and at lirst thought he could not live.

He remained unconscious for five days, and meantime the physicians raised the fragments of the skull to its proper position by a delicate surgical operation but Day lost several ounces of his brain during the operation and his speech will be nff.icted for life.

Vesterday he was lying in bed plajing with a clock. "IIow are you feeling?" was asked. "First, all right," he replied, with a Etolid stare. "He is pfllicted with a disease by reason of his injuries, which makes him say one thing wnen he means to say something else," said the doctor, in explanation of his patient's queer answer.

Dr. King then asked the jickey: "Are you anxious to be out again?" "Ves, Duster," was the prompt reply. "He calls me 'duster' for doctor," said the house surgeon. "That is the result of the asphasia."

Dr. King thinks that in time Day will bo as good as ev9f, except for the defect in his speech.

Hog Cholera in Indiana.

The 6tate board of agriculture has advices from many of the northern and northwestern counties, saying that hog cholera is epidemic and that hundreds of hogs are dying daily and the disease is steadily increasing. In Stuben county it has assumed such proportions that some farmers have lost every hog on their farms, and there are but few who have not lost from 50 to 7C per cent, of their stock. It is specially fatal in hogs that have been put up for fattening. No remedies appear to have any effect, and «ll attempts to stop the spread of the disease have failed.

JDDUB ELLIOTT NAMED.

os

That He May Be Appointed to the Supreme llencta*

Several gentlemen were standing in the lobby of the state capitol building a few dBys ago, when a small man, about the size of General Mahone, came down from the supreme court chambers and went into Governor Hovey's rooms, writes an Indianapolis correspondent of the New Vork Times. 'That, man may surprise the country some day, and before very long," said one. "How so?" ""Well, Harrison "may take it into his head that he's a good man to go from Indiana to the United States supreme CDuri.."

The man thus spoken of was Byron K. Elliott., for many years a justice of the supreme court., and at. present chief justice. He waa for a while the only R9publican on the supreme bt-nch, but the court's political color has changed, until the Democrats are again in the mi nority. It has been said frequently that if the Miller apparition could be gotten r'd of, Judge Elliott would likely receive the president's favorable consideration for the vacancy.

Judge Elliott is a lawyer whose decisions are respected all over the coun try. In fact, be has done much to lift the standard of Indiana jurisprudence. He is about years of ngf, was born in Oaio, but attained bis majority in this state. His family is an old one, the judge'd father being a warm personal friend of General Harrison. The president has a high regard forjudge Elliott, and if the surmises in regard to Miller are not true, President Harrison may spring as b:g a surprise upon the country as came with Waite'a advent. Judge Elliott is a self-made man, and probably one of the best-read men in Indiana. He is a persistant student, and takes the greatest pride in his own work.

Salting SU)ck.

With some kinds of stock especially, too much salt will often prove very injurious and when the salt is only given occasionally it will often occur that the animalF, being very hungry for salt, will eat more than is best. On the other band, as a rule, if a supply of salt is kept convenient, the stock will eat what they want, and no more. They are not likely to damage themselves, under ordinary conditions, if boxes are provided, and are kept filled, so that tho stock can help themselves to what they want to eat. Tt is not the quantity they eat, in agiven length of time, but rather the la-ge quantity that they will eat at once, wtwn they have been deprived of it, that proves more or less injurious.

There is no class of stock kept upon the farm but that will be benefited byhaving access to a good supply of salt, and some arrangement should be made so that this can be done. During the season that stock are in the pnsture, boxes or troughs may be placed in convenient places, where the stock can go and help themseiv?s.

The advantage in using rock salt ie that if placed in boxes or t-oughs without shelter there is but little if any waste, either by throwing out of the boxes or troughs in eating, or by being washed out by hard rains, A box placed in the center of the hogpen and kept supplied with salt and ashee, will aid materially in keeping the hogs in good health and thrift. Sheep, cattle and horses need a supply all the time and if it is placed where they can secure a supply, readily, they will be found eating "a small quantity every day.

As a rule, with the exception of hogs and poultry, the better plan is to give the salt by itself. With poultry, usually the better plan is t.o season the food.

Consunii'tion of Tei in Franco.

It will perhaps surprise maDy to learn that tea is such a small artioJe of necessity in France that the total consumption in 1S83 for 3S,000,000 of inhabitants was only a little over 1,000,000 pounds, the greater part of which WRB probably consumed by British, Ameri can and Russian visitors and residents. The average per head of the population was thirteen and a half grammes, or less thau half an ounce. The use of ten, instead of increasing, is diminishing, as the average per head WHS fourteen Bnd a half grammes in 1SSG and 1S87. Coffee, on the other hand, increases in favor, and tho consumption has more than quadrupled since 18-11, and nearly doubled since 1801. It reached it.i maximum of 130,000,000 pounds in 1SS0, and was 134,C00,000 pounds, or more than three and hUf pounds per head in 1SSS.

Adulterated China Tea*

The heathen Chinee, who is nothing if not economical, has an ingeniously sim pie method of eating his cake—or, rather, in the celestial translation, drinking his tea and having it also*. He makes the tea, drinks the delicate first infusion and then dries the leaves again, packs them in those mysteriously-lettered boxes we know and exports them to the Western barbarian, who, he has found out, likes his tea strong and stewed. It is true that the tannic acid apt to Sbme out of the leaf iu the second infusion -may injure the British stomach. This is not John Chinaman's business he knows the beauty and profit of adulteration.

The Birdseed Trade.

rdseed forma a considerable item in the export trade of some of the Moorish ports. Thus from Laraiche last year, in a total export valued at £60,701, the birdseed exported was valued at £5,970, and the quantity was 3,457 quarts. The vice consul at that port states that this read is never sown apart by Moorish farmers, nor is auy special attention paid to its cultivation. It is sown with wheat, and when reaped and threshed it is separated by the countrywomen in sieVee. The reason of this practice is that there is a general superstition among the Moors that in very wet seasons the wheat is in part converted into birdseed, and hence they sow the two together.

Mountain Oysters.

KXPRESS PACKAGE.

The Father to His ltoy.

Come hither. William John, my son, come hither to my knee. We'll sit .ind natch the river take Its journey to the sea. And as the water rolls along I fain would talk a while, Since I have heard thy youth Till soul Is lately steeped In guile Thy tell me that jou want to be a humorist and write For pa iters, grinding out your jests at morning. noon, and night To tell of candles made ot clay and other jokes as darkAlas. my son, old Noah sprung such chestnuts In the ark!

You'll tell about the wretched man who long with stovepli.es tolls. And say the tnother'n-Iaw is tit for stratagems and spoils And to the cat that "sings at night you columns will devote. And bubble o'er with humor when you're speaking of the goat That breaks its fast with circus bills and scraps of rusty tin. And boil win mirth when sneaking of the tramp who's soaked with gin. And gets a doeof thirty days-oh. William Johnnie, hark! Old Noah rung the bell on such when sailing In the ark.

Of course, about the sitting hen you'll sp°ak in ecstasy— That brooding I owl has always been to humorists a glee: And tnen the poet with his rhymes who climbs the printer's stair, And lands upon the sidewalk with a look of full despair And looking to the future, son, you well I can decry Propounding such a thing as this "What makes the bottlt-lly?" Or telling ot the nurse and "cop'' a-courllng In the park— Old Noah wept when gags like these were given In the ark.

We'll sit beside the river, son. and watch Its rapid IIow, And IT you do not change your mind we rapidly shall go To where there hangs a beaten strap within our humble call, And 1 shall gently take It down-shall take it from the wall And those who live within three blocks, ere we have done our quarrel Will think I'm simply pounding In the heading of a barrel And If they any questions ask I'll say Its just a lark With one who wants to spring the gagi that ^sounded lu the ark.
