Just another note to say I am greatly enjoying the abstracts from the "Home Advocate" by T.D. Hudson. In fact, I think I was "taken in" by this item from the 10 Apr 1885 abstract: "The custom of sending foolish missives and playing pranks on April 1st - "All Fools Day" has been in vogue almost from time immemorial. Those wishing to know from whence the custom originated can inform themselves by referring to the fifteenth chapter of Hosea, 1st and 2d verses." Was anybody else?
