Irish World. The Mountain Ash. Long ago people believed In witches md evil spirits, who were going about the country doing harm. They also believed that the rowan (mountain ash) iiad some charm to do away with their evil powers. So all the maidens wore the scarlet berries of the rownu In their hair, nnd the young men carried canes made from the branches of the sumo tree. The housewife hung brunches of the berries over her doorway, while her ood iimn hung the same about his barns and stables, so the witches could have no power over his sheep and cnt tie and horses. For the same purpose they kept n grent hoop of rowan branches. Through this they made tho young calves and lninbs Jump. This act was intended to keep sickness and death away from them at least the good man thought so. Every iinlinnl had to Jump through the hoop whether lie wanted to or not, for tho good man switched his legs with a rowan switch until the Jumping was accomplished. Wonderful Maine "Skeeters."
