Strange But True l. .1 's

In the Ktlantlc island of Faroo some of the smaller birds are con- sulted lnstesdi of the weather- glass. or have associations with certain seasons or seasonal work.

The white-wagtall comes at the first of May to see if the farmers have spread the manure on the land. it is considered a ”sgrace if this tuk has been left undone by the time the birds put in their appearance. In the days when the island was cut off from the out- aide world during the winter months, the arrival of the white- wag-tail was taken as a sign that the -long-awaited trading vessels were on their way.

In our corner of the globe the belief exists among rural folk that if a flock of gulls fly low over the land. it will be wet: and if a'fiock of blackhirds rise aud- denly from the grass, it is said

that a shower of rain is immin- ent. ' In the days before pocket

watches came into use, time was reckoned by observation of the sun. and as one may y guesswork on those days when clouds obscured Old ol's face! The modern clock s followed today. but it reads in a different fashion in some lands to that pre- vaiiing in our own country. Again going back to the Atlantic islands we find that a quarter- past one is called one-quart... of an hour to two. and a quarter to two by our reckoning Is three quarters to two lay .the Farees. I

f But when the hands travel to twenty-five minutes past one, you have to think about it as five minutes to half an hour to two o'clock. As a result of the same puuling meticulous approach it is ten-minutes over the half-hour to two when your watch tells you it is twenty minutes to two o'clock. and so on.

The sea is one of the richest feeding-grounds on this planet. and petrels-the sparrows of the sea-and numerous other creatures live entirely by the products of the sea coming to land qnly for breeding purposes and when 'the curtain of night calls them land- ward to roost.

A good christening story is told of pioneer days in this island when a party set out from West River to North Tryon with the mother and child all on foot. On their arrival they learned that the minister had gone to Milton, where they followed him. Once more they learned that the paraon had left an hour before to return to Tryon. Nothing daunted. they re- traced their steps, caught up with the elusive cleric at last. got their boy christened and went home the same evening.

Once. long ago, a wedding party had been fixed for a certain date, but for some time prior to the fdate the roads were impassable. Three days before the event, how- ever, the minister decided to make the trip so as not to disappoint the couple. His arrival was un- expected. and although the couple agreed-to be hitched up right away. their family insisted on holding to the original arrange- ment so far as the celebrations were concerned. .

Immediately after the ceremony. the ministe left. When only a short distance from the home he was surprised to see a fellow racing at full speed after him and calling his name. He stop- ped, and as the figure drew near- er he discovered it was none oth- er than the bridegroom himself. Well what do you ,suppose , he wanted to know? A simple ques- tion. Considering that the wed- ding party would not be held for another three days. would it be all right if he slept with his bride before that time.

At Elmsdale-another pioneer story-tells of the person who was a rejected suitor of the bride-to- he. failed to put in an appearance on the appointed day. But the people held the wedding ' t tion as arranged and considered thd bride and bridegroom as law- fully wedded man and wife ever sfter. Both stories have one in- teresting point in common they glve evidence of the great nd solemn) significance which was at- tached to the soclafslde of wed- dings in pioneer days in Prince Edward Island.
