In Ireland there have been for many, many ages curious superstitions re garding fairies In the old time these Imagined little elflns were thought to be half human and half ' spirit nature and had strange power» over hutuan kind. The good folk of Erin used to proprltiate the fairies in many i ways, a few of them being as follows: If a child spilled milk on the floor the mother would say, "That’s for the fairies," thinking that some fairy bad caus.-d the accident Thus the careless chUd went unreprimanded, If one were throwing slops out of the window or door she must cry out to the fairies. “Take care of the water!” Otherwise some fairy passing might get drenched and retaliate in some unpleasant man ner. If a horseshoe were nailed over one door it would prevent the fairies from entering to do mischief to the in mates, if a small piece of iron were sewed into an infant's garment the fairies would never molest it by caus ing It to suffer colic pains. If a large vessel filled with pure drinking water were placed in the kitchen at night the fairies on entering would not touch the food there, but content themselves with drinking the water Hunt the Slipper. The players iu this game seat them selves in a circle on the floor, having chosen one of their number to remain outside the circle. The children seat ed on the floor are supposed to be cob blers, aud the one outside is the cus tomer who has brought his shoe to be tyended. He hands it to one of them, saying: Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe; Get It done by half past two.
