could explain mys tery of its name or could give an ac curate account of its origin and true significance All Hallow Even or Eve is so called because it is the night immediately preceding All Hal or All Saints day which is on November 1st and is observed by the Roman Catholic Protestant and Lutheran churches as a festival in honor the saints In the ancient calendar of the Church of Rome is found the following ob servation on Nov 1st The ol old is removed to this day perhaps this setting apart of Novem ber 1st as sacred to old fools as well as to the saints is duetto the many foolish customs charms spells incantation etc which have long been practiced upon the preceding night or All Hallow Even contract ed the Scotch to Hallow Een and commonly known to the juvenile mind as Holly There is no night in the year which- has been invested by popular imagination with a more peculiar character than Oct or Hallow Eve There is nothing in the church observance of the ensuing day of All Saints calculated to give- to such remarkable ideas as are associ ated with the night to give such singular sports and customs as are practiced- upon its annual- occurrence That supernatural influences then pro- vail is a generally accepted supersti tion asserts that all who choose to do so can then call up spirits from the vasty deep It is said that all spirits both of the visible and invisible world then walk on the earth and ft is believed that on this mystic evening the immater ial principle existing in all things human can detach it sell from all cor poral restraint and wander at will or he

associations con nected with the occasion to be relics of Pagan limes Nuts have always borne a most prominent part as they still con tinue to do in the festivities of Hal low Among the Scotch and Irish peasantry a syno nym for it is hotcrack night from the custom of cracking nuts with the teeth with hammers or by throwing them into the fire At Upon In Yorkshire another synonym for Hal low Eve is cake night because On that occasion the mother of- every household bakes a each mem- her of the family Goldsmith In his Vicar of Wakefield describing the maaocrs of some rustles tells us that among oilier customs preserved by them they religiously crack nuts on AH Hallow Eve Hutchinson In his history of Northumberland compares Hallow Eve the ancient Roman festival of and says that the divinations and of omens practice on the form er occasion were a part the cere monies of the latter Hence he proceeds in the rural sacrifice of nuts propitious are sought touching matrimony Two nuts are placed In the fire by a young man or maiden and named for two or three of his or her sweethearts It they lie still and burn together it prognos ticates a happy marriage or a love If on the contrary the nuts bounce fly asunder the sign is unprorVtious Another custom somewhat similar to this is practiced in Ireland The young women anxious to know If their lovers arc faithful put three nuts upon the grate naming each nut for a lover If a nut cracks or Jumps the lover for whom it- is nam ed will prove unfaithful but if he quietly burns or he loves the ITCH Mange Prairie Scratches
