Festive Day Dates Back to the
Romans,
Mareh 1 ig a day of joyful festivity
among the school children in most
of the Engadine communes, At 4
o'clock in the morning a party of
sohoolboys march through the village
olnging cewbells, big and littfe, with
all their might, to proclaim the dawn
of a boisterous day to their slumber
ing schoolmates still abed.
As the day grows bright the boys
gather, each one with a huge bell
hung round his neck, on the village
square, where they form in ranks
according to thelr size. When the
preparaticns, always conducted amid
great excitement and juvenile jubila
tien, have been completed, the pro
cession starts on a tour through the
étreetg to the accompaniment of furi
ous beli ringing and noisy yodelling.
One of the oldest of the demonstra
tors. with & milk pall on his shoulder,
in the costume of a dairyman, with
yellow breeches, white stockings, low
ghoes, finally embreidered braces over
a shirt of spotless white, turned up
gleeves displaying a brawny arm, tgo
dajryman’s hat pegahed jauntily
the back of his heaf, marches prouci
lv at the head of the herd. At thd
end of the procession is another big
boy with a big staff in his hand, like
a. herdman. -
All this reminds us of the way the
cows go to the Alps to the sound
of bells. The whole festival is noth
ing but a spring celebration to her
ald the return of the milder sea
son, which has been looked forward
to with longing for menths.
The custom is said to be of Roman
origin, hence its name “Chalanda
Marz” (from Kalendare), which Jusii:
fies the assumpt'on that, from the pe
riod of the year chosen for the ob
gservance of the festival, it must have
originated in the mild climate of Italy,
and not in the cold clime of the En
gadine.
In the way described the troop
marches on from house to house, and
ig presented by the matrons with rice,
ehestnuts, sausages, bread, and even
wine and-money. The hotels are all
visited, and the patrons always con
tribute some small change. Out of
the proceeds a general jollification is
provided, at which the girls of the
neighborhood take part. How intense
ig the youngsters’ enjoyment of the
Chalanda Marz festivities can scarce
ly be imagined by any cne who has
not looked on at these annual junket
ings. So dear is the memory of the
old custom that even gray haired
men and women follow the clamorous
band of children, and are ever ready
to bestow some small offering on
them.
This spring festival may, however,
haVe a more primitive origin—in the
Wmiversal propensity of man and wom
an in their unmated state to get to
gether upon the first dlush of spring,
to choose each one his or her mate
for the coming season—a modification,
indeed, of similar spring festivals
that reappear I\l other countries in
disguised ceremonies.—New York
Tribune.
The Italian government has estab
lishea a bureau to deal exciusivoiy
with the electrification of the state
ratlways, which is making rapid
strides.
AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.
A womam who has used Postum
gince it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee if one val
ues health and a clear brain. She
says:
““At the time Postum was first put
on the market I was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally I decided to take
his advice and try Postum. I got a
package and had it carefully pre
pared, finding it delicious to the taste.
So I continued its use and very soon
its beneficial' effects convinced me of
its value, for I got well of 'my nerv
ousness and dyspepsia.
“My husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and I persuaded
him to shift to Postum. It was easy
to get him to make the change, for
the Postum is so delicious. It cer
tainly worked wonders for him.
“We soon learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depress and
does not stimulate, but steadily and
hogestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
‘“To make a long story short, our
entire family continued to use Pos
tum with satisfyipg results, as shown
in our fine condition of health, and
we have noticed a rather unexpected
improvement in brain and nerve pow
er.”
Increased brain and nerve power
always follows the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. ‘‘There’'s a Rea
son.” :
Look in pkgs. for the famous lit
e book, “The Road to Wellville.”
