Onions ns Weather Prophets.
One of the rites performed by the
French peasants on New Year's eve i :
the forecasting of the weather for the
coming year by means of onions.
"When the bells ring for midnight
mass they scoop out the middles of
twelve onions , set them in a row on
the kitchen table , fill them with salt
and name them for the mouths of the
year. Then when they return from
mass they examine the condition of tLe
Bait. If it has melted in any of the
"months , " those monthswill be rainy ;
if the salt remains dry , it indicates
drought ; if half melted , the first fort
night of the mouth will be wet.
The peasants have such implicit faith
in this means of foretelling the weath
er that they plant their crops in accord
aiice with the prophecy of the onions
The Fifteenth Century Gambler.
Ill the time of King Heury IV. of
England the "smart set" managed to
play bridge or its equivalent without
shocking the susceptibilities of those
who think it wrong to play for mone.v.
The fifteenth century gambler , accord
ing to one historian , "played at cards
for counters , nails and points in every
house more for pastime than for gain. "
"Everie scholar or petytc ( little one )
that plaies for money is to be ex
pelled , " ordains a grammar school
charter of the period. One of the du
ties of hospital sisters was "to make
dilygentt searche nmouge the poore for
cards or dice. "

Apropos of knee breeches a corre
spondent of thp London Express quotes
an anecdote from Captain Gronow's
"Recollections" which puts the whole
case in a nutshell. The baillie de fer-
rette was always dressed In knee
breeches , witb P cocked hat and a
court sirord. the slender proportions
of which greatly resembled those of
his legs. "Do tell me , my dear bail-
lie , " said Montrond one day , "have you
got three legs or three swords ? " Soon
afterwhich , we should imagine , the
baillie went home.
Enough.
There had been a'railway collision
near a Scottish country town , and an
astute local attorney had hurried to
the scene of disaster. Noticing an old
man with a badly damaged head lying
on the ground , he approached him with
notebook in hand. "How about dam
ages , my man ? " he began. The in
jured man waved him off with the re
mark : "Na , na ; ye'll get nae damages
fae me. It wasna me that hit yer
bloomin' auld train. "
The Other Kind.
"Do you think there Is anything re
markable in love at first sight ? " asked
a romantic youth.
"Not at all , " replied his cynical
friend. "It's when pcop2 ! have been
looking at each other for four or five
years that it becomes remarkable ! "
