SAINT

The Origin and Universal Obaervarof the Day.

Wednesday next is the festivalSaint Valentine or "Valentino's da ;

aa it ia more commonly called , andaomo days paat the shop wlndahave boon bright with the mlssi'common to that date , of charactboth common and sentimental.

Saint Valentino was a bishoppresbyter , who was decapitated in I

year A. D. 270 , during the Claud !

persecution at Romo. The customsending valentines la a very ancii-

one. . Some toll us that on tlday birds select their matothers trace the custom to the RomLnporcalla , February 15 , when sitlar practices 'wero observed. Trai-

of the custom have boon detectamone the observances of the Norl-

ern Pagans of Ancient Euro ]

Hence it ia probable that thotradltithat ascribes Its origin to n commeoration of the loving and ohurhaldisposition of St. Valentino , la a coparatlvely late invention.

The business in Valentines Increai-ovcry yoar. Thia is said to be duothe greater artistic finish of the hlgtpriced valentines , and the express !

from year to year in the coinlc on-

To the cisnal observer , however , v-

entlncs look pretty mnch the saifrom ono anniversary to auothiThis year a now Interest has begiven to thorn by the taste bestowon the valentine catds. These oaiare a variation on those used I

ChrlatmaaNew Year'a and Easter piposes , and are sent.to iweethearta a

'rionda in the same way as the erthc-dox valentine.-

An.

ewtcrn mannfacturer , who , wll-

iila father , has boon in the Valontitbusiness since 1834aaya that the uroi-Ing traffic In valentines li largely dt-

to the taato displayed in their deskind manufacture. The aalo of costbox valentines la necessarily Hmitoibut the cheaper ones , and especialthe cameo and comlo valentines , ain greater demand than'' over bofor-Ho haa sold- over 3,000,000 comvalentines , and a very largo nombi-of cameo valdntlncs , Thcro wore nmany imperial valentines In thla contry , for although high-priced Enelli-valentlnes'had a greater sale In Enlaud than those of a costly , doelf-on this side cf th6 water, their atydid not seem to salt the Amorici-taste. .

festival of this saint Is anythtibut a festival for the postciiHoo ct-

ployes throughout the country , wholabor is trebled by the flied of "dn-letters" common to the day.-
