Clirls tliins Honored as a Saint, a Bishop Nunu-rf Valentine Custom Pre vails Throughout the World. The origin of SI. Valentine's day, which will bo celebrated tomorrow, will always be an interesting subject to those who observe the customs of the day. The Housekeeper gives the following brief but comprehensive sketch o fthe day: A fact in natural history, to-wlt, that birds in southern Europe pair about the middle of February, Is said to have Inspired a custom of the an cient Romans, to which the origin of the modern valentine can undoubtedly be traced. At the feast of the Lupercalla, held In honor of the great god Pan, the names of the virgin daughters of Rome were put In a box, and drawn therefrom by the young men. Each youth was bound to offer a gift to the maiden who fell to his lot, and to make her his partner during the time of the feast. How this secular custom became a!, lied to the name of a saint is alto gether a different matter. St. Valen tine was a bishop of Rome during the third century. He is said to have been a man of very amiable nature. and most eloquent of speech, where fore he was very successful In con verting the pagan Romans to Christianity. Marcus Aurellus was then emperor, relentless prosecutor of the Chris tians, and by his order the bishop was beheaded. The date of his death was February 14, 270, A. D. We find the statement In Archbishop Wheatley's Illustrations of the Book of Common Prayer" that "St. Valentine was a man of admirable parts, and so fa mous for his love and charity that the custom of choosing valentines upon his festival took Its rise from thence." But probably the connection of name is wholly due to a coincidence of date. When the saint's name was placed In the church calendar, the day of his death was made a festival, to offset that of Lupercalla, on the 15th. In Allen Butler's "Lives of the Saints" we read thnt the zealous Christian fathers tried to substitute the names of saints for those of girls in the lottery game, but without sue cess. So the "valentine" custom spread from Rome through Europe to Great Britain, always in high fa vor. and later. In the form of sending tender missives, enme to America, and down to the present time. 9 A Question You Must Answer Now. f Po you want the best shlrtwitl-t ever made for th least money?
