MIDSUMMER DAY The Nativity of St. John the Baptist- Customs and Super stitions of Midsum mer fcve, Etc. . To-day, tbe 2Uh of June, U considered M Midsummer Day, and this year the calendar . and the almanao coincide, for the day is the longest of all the year, the sun at this latitude rising at 29 minutes after 4 o'clock and setting at 25 minutes before 8. This gives ns fifteen hours and six minutes or daylight, to eight hours and fifty-four mluutes divided between twilight and darkness. The 2UU day of June Is likewise rendered a notable one by reason of Us being the annlver" sary of the nativity of John the Baptist, whose festival as a saint Is then celebrated, contrary to the general rule, which prescribes the anni versary of the death of a saint as the occasion for commemorating his virtues and ministra tions while In tbe flesh. The day Is, therefore, something more than an ordinary day, and de' mands soniethlag more than a passing; notice at our hands. Midsummer Eve. The commemoration of the naUvlty of St John commenced on the previous eveulng, to Which, in truth, it was mainly confined. The people, anxious to fulfil the prophecy of Holy writ, that many Bhould rejoice In the birth of John the Baptist, were accustomed on that evening logo forth Into the woods, where they gathered the branches of trees and carried them homo to place about their doors, amid great manifestations or Joy. Until within a recent period, tills custom was universal throughout l eg laud. Towards evening, on the day preceding St. John's Day, It was also the custom to kindle a large fire In some pnbllo place. The term "boutlre" was first applied to this, whence it is argued by some philosophical antiquarians that the primitive meaning or the word was afire or boons, or Joy rul offerings, in token or the auspicious occasion. About this Are tue people danced long and merrily, and at times the frantic element seemed to enter Into their re joicings, for the men and boys would leap recklessly through the crackling flames, simply because that feat was a portion of tbe time honored ceremonies connected with the festi val. Until a late period this practice was main tained in Ireland on Midsummer Eve. There was another curious custom prevalent In ancient times. On Midsummer Night a watch was kept pairolllug the towns, even when this was not customary on ordinary occa sions, as a matter ot precaution. The practice was kept up at Nottingham, unill the relgu or Charles I. At sunset every citizen was present at an appointed place, in person or by substi tute, and an oath for tne preservation of the peace was duly administered to all the com pany. Kaoh one wore upon his bead a garland of flowers, and at times was further ornamented by an assortment of Jewels and rlbbous. In this fantastic outfit they paraded the town In parties, during the livelong night. In London, during the middle ages, a similar watch patrolled tbestreets on tne eves oi St Teter's and St. Paul's Days, as well as on that or BU John's. The company in tbe metropolis numbered not less than two thousand men, all or whom carried long poles, to the end or which a flaming torch or cresset was attached. This prototype or the modern political torchlight procession was held In such high favor, that the greatest nobles In theStatewere accustomed to be present to view it. King Henry VIII, hav ing a curiosity to witness the Imposing cere mony, went to see It privately. In 1510; but he was so highly delighted with the display that a few nights after, on the occas.on of Ht. Peter's Eve. he presented himself publicly, attended by his Queen. Catharine, and a long and glittering train. King Henry, however, Ly careful con sideration of the matter, was subsequently led to believe that danger lurked In sucn a nume rous gathering of armed men, and therefore in the latter part of his reign the time-honored custom "was abolished by his order. A London poet, writing in 1016, thus vividly describes the scene presented ou these occasions:- "The goodly buildings that till then did hide Their rich array, opeu'd their windows wide. Where klnus, great peers, and many a nooie dame, Whose bright pearl-glltterlng robes did mock the (lame Of the night's burning lights, did alt to see How every senator In his degree. Adorn'd with sblulng gold and purple weeds, And stately mounted ou rich-trapped sieeda. Their guard attending, through tbestreets did ride, Before their fool-bands, graced with glittering pride Of rlch-gUt arms, whose glory did present A sunshine to the eye. as lfit meant. Among the cresse's light shot up on high, To chase dark ulgbt forever from tbe skyj While Id tbe streets the sticklers to and fro, To keep decorum, still did come and go, Where tables set were plentifully spread, And at each door neighbour with neighbour fed." Tba Superstitions off Midsummer Eve were both fanciful and numerous. Among the Irish a belief is quite prevalent that ou St. John's night the soul of eveiy person leaves the body lor a time, to wander to the precise soot where it will ultimately be forever freed from Its earthly tabernacle. From this curious superstition, tbe custom of sitting up all night on this occasion is supposed to have originated, the watchers hoping thereby to prevent their souls from going on such a foolish ramble.- In England, and perhaps elsewhere, there was current a belief that the spirits of those who were to die In tbe parish during the ensuing ( . i.a 1. nt -if onlntr tfk t.hn nlinrnti year wemiu mouui..

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, The following description of their ceremonies at Melrose Abbey is taken from "Wade's His tory of Melrose": "Immediately after the election of offine bearers for the year ensuing, the brethren walk in procession three times round the Cross, and afterwards dine together, under the presldonoy of the newly elected Grand Master. About six In the evening, the members again turn out and form imo line two abreast, each bearing a lighted flambeau, and decorated with the.r rf cullnr emblems and insignia. Headed by the it rnldlo banners of the lodge, the prooe.sslon follows the same route, three times round the Crohs, and then proceeds to the Abbey. Ou these ocsnslons, the crowded street! present a scene ol the mc st animated description. The Joyous tlialnsof a well-conducted band, tbe waving torches, and incessant showers of fire-works make the scene a carnival. But at this time the venerable Abbey is the chief point of at traction and resort, and as the mysllo torch trarers thrend their way through its moulder ing a sits, and round the massive pillars, the outlines of lis gorgeous rnlns become singularly illuminated and brought Into bold and striking relief. The whole extent of the Abbey is with 'measured step and slow' gone three times round. Hut when near tne Jlnnli?, the wno'e Masonic body gather to the chancel, and forming one great semicircle around it, where the heart of King Koberl Bruce lies deposited near tbe high altar, and the band strikes up the patriotic air, 'Scots wha ha'e wl' Wallace bled,' tbe effect produced is overpowering. Midst showers of rockets and the glare of blue lights the scene closes, the whole reminding one of some popular saturnalia held in a monkish town during the Middle Agos." Midsummer Day itself, although It was the occasion around which all tbe curious customs and supersti tions above described were grouped, was not honored In ancient times with any marked celebration. Still it was customary for the Ceople to keep their doors and beds em owered in the branches whicu they had gathered and placed in position the nleht be fore, in the belief that lu this way the etfoot-s of thunder and all other noxious agencies In nature would be aver ted. At Magdalen College, Oxford, there was one pecullur feature of tne day which did not prevail elsewhere, and that was the regulnr annual preaching of a sermon from a stone pulpit in a corner of the first court of the College. The entire Court was set off with green boughs, "that the preaching might resemble that of the Baptist la the wilder ness." MILLINERY, TRIMMINGS, ETC. O U R N I NC MILLINERY.
