Philadelphia, December IP, 1020. Ah with most of the folk festivals nf our Kiropean ancestors. All Fools' Day ap pears to have been a pagan feast which was retained after tho coming of Chris tianity on account of Its great popularlts-. Some students believe that tho selection of April 1 ns All Fools' Day vvns only a matter of chance. Othern think that It was due to Now Year's Day having for merly Iven March 2ft. After the sear had been officially dated from January 1 the old New Year's ro malnrd for- a long time In use. This air counts for the frequent employment of a double-dated year In Jnnuurst February and most of March, which so frequently occurs In tlto form of February 27, 1722-2n. April 1 In the octevo of the Jiew Yi'nr's' uf March 23, therefore It vvas celebrated ns tho wind up of the holiday festlv Its Some French authorities assign the Intro ductlnn of April Fool, their Polsson jl'Avrll, to Kiill", .when Charles IX made the change of Ihe -svmt'h beginning to January An other French opinion refers It to the reign nf Louis XIII, when a prince nf Lorraine escaped from Ills Imprisonment In the castle of Nan?y bs swimming th Meirhe.
