J Though the night of Mny ^ whs "witches night" iii Hoi 110 no Mftovv Hceiden t was repot i i t| ne\t (Iii \ . .The wi t oh e^ w hich fly 6a broomsticks he twi*ui lilt' aucl0|)i Mil* of tho Cacllo uiul Kmjulllno apparently were afraid of t h?* broom and flu* bQiilll of salt put outside no many doois him) weut home In despair. May 24 Is St. John the Uftpt lnt> day, one always kept \ by old-fashioned Roman* ah a day f <Jr mating snails. Snails are the Honuw i? l**<? of the locusts which St. Johu' tho Baptist ate when in the desert. Hut why witches should try to take possession of lUmie on tho night before his feast day Is | a mystery. They do fly about on hi'ooiiiKtlckH, says popular report, and salt and a brooin alone will, keep them out of homes. By some hidden law which the Romans themselves don't trjy to ac count for, no witch will enter a house before which stand a basin of salt and a broom until she has counted every grain of salt In the basin and all the wisps In the broom, Ah the nights are short In May tho witch gives up J the task In despair, knowing she could never finish her Job before qunrUo; The night of May 28 Ik a great night for the Roman people; they gather In tlio tlelds outside St. John I.ateran. eat snails, dance, sing and throw dow ers at each other. An odd modern note Is g|V0li by an enormous merry-go-round. opposite the ancient church dedicated to St. John. Its wooden horses go round and round to American ragtimes, fox trots and bunny-hugs. It is a mixture of old and new worthy of that extraordinary city, where till the centuries get Jum bled up together and make. friends In a way you might search the world for j and not And elsewhere. | The May night festival Is older. than j John the Baptist and marks the tradi tion of the old Roman springtime Jol i Ilty ? called the luperonll. Those I feasts wdre In honor of the wolf which I fed Romulus and Renins*, the twin founders oft-the city. A real live wolf Is kept In the capitol till that day in J memory of this One; for had there been no wolf to feed the twins there would be no Rome todatf, the Romans i argue. I s It Pseudo-Science? Human intellect is so partial lo a generalization that even men of si-i cnce constantly are guilty of general izing upon an Insufficient basis of facts. A lea rnod professor of the Uni versity of Cincinnati invites Us to be ; lleve that the older the parents the : better -the-. chances of distinction for i tlte children. lb- draws his conclusion from what he says are tho facts concerning cattle and horses. Hut only the other day we read a dissertation by another sci entist warning against taking for erf terion the history of the domestic ani mals. asserting that the human race, as far as In rvdily Is concerned is as much a wild species as" lions, ele ? pllauts. or wrrlves.
