Quaint Superstitions.
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;
