Their prognostications, like dreams, appear to go by contraries, for fine weather is believed to promis bad weather later, while a dull and threatening day always has been re garded as a sure sign of early spring, with good weather and bountiful crops. Warrant for placing such faith In weather predictions made at this sea son runs away back to the days ot Greek mythology. Pluto Is accused of having stolen away Prosperlne, dau ghter of Ceres, goddess of harvests, to the underworld and for six months Ceres left the earth and went about with lighter candles seeking her dau ghter. Candlemas day first was a pa gan observance In honor of Ceres, In tended to propitiate her and bring Dlentlful yields to the husbandman. This became closely associated with the weather and when the earlj Christiana sought to combat the pagan influence they adopted the candles borne in the procession, but burned them In honor of the Virgin.
