TO TEACH LOVE MAKING.
According to reports a professor In
Germany proposes to open a Bchool
wherein to teach lovo making. Bless
tho dear professor, what can ho bo
thinking about? What docs ho supposo
lore making Is that ho presumes It Is
something to be taught after tho man
ner of algebra, geography and cook
ing? Lovo making doesn't have- to
be taught, says tho Philadelphia Press.
From the palmy days In tho Garden of
Eden It has been going on all over
the world among all peoples. It has
its different methods, grading from
barbarism to civilization, but It Is
love making all tho samo. To tho end
of tlmo. If there Is to bo any end of
time, it will go on just as tho habits
and Inclinations of tho people direct
it. It s ono of those diversions, or
features, or essentials of human llfo
which no government has yet at
tempted to regulate, as nttemptfl
have been made to regulato so many
other things, and it had never oc
curred to anybody that teaching it
was necessary. Teaching boys to saw
wood and girls to mako their own
clothes is feasible enough, but teach
ing them how to mako lovo isn't. Be
sides, it's perfectly useless. They all
know how already: the knowledge
was born with them.

and woeful loss, showering blessings of

that is "dying In tho night" has striven
mightily lobe tho friend of nil. Even
where unmerited misfortune has swamped
the high spirit and bruised tho aching

of gratitude for tho few radiant gleams of

declining moments of tho old year aro devoted
to a sort of spiritual stock-taking. Tho mistakes

The festivo celebration of the new year has been
a salient feature in the social life of all civilized
peoples, ancient and modern, and that character
istic persists in the strenuous life of today.
Tho tlmo at which tho year began varied
much among different nations. The Carthagin
ians, Egyptians, Persians and other nations of
antiquity began their year at tho autumnal
equinox, New Yt-ar'b day falling on September
22, of modern reckoning, which 1b also tho be
ginning' of tho Jewish civil year. The Greeks
chose riccomber 22, and afterward June 22. Jan
uary 1 was first adopted by the Romans, whon
Julius Caesar brought the civil year into close
harmony with the solar, In B. C. 4G, but, for
many centuries, the example was not followed
by subsequent European nations. At ono time
there were seven different dates for tho begin
vTjlng of tho year among tho Christian nations,
nnd ovcji successive popes, until comparatively
recent times, scarcely evor adopted tho same
.chronology Russia and tho eastern empire of
Constantino dated from September 1, and the
Mohammedan year, bolng dependent on tho
phases of tho moon, had and has no fixed begin
ning. Jnnuary 1 became the accepted dato of
the Now Yenr among the Catholic nations of
Europe In lf.82, when Popn Grogory XIII intro
duced the new atyle of reckoning, and corrected
tho accumulated discrepancies between tho Jul
ian computation and tho actual solar year by
striking ten days out of the almanac of that
year Hy 1700 this dato was In general ubo
throughout Europe, but It was not until 17H2
that England nnd her American colonies
adopted It
Ancient nnd modern civilized peoples, whllo
differing as to tho day from which thoy reck
oned tho beginning of tho civil year, havo agToed
in distinguishing It by special festivities and re

Tho early fathers of tho church
reprobated tho immoral and supersti

fal, and directed that tho Christian
year should bo opened with a day
of fasting, prayer and humiliation.
Tho festal character of the day, how
ever, pertinaciously clung to it
throughout tho ages, and tho church
preserved Its religious aspect, by
making it a festival in commemora
tion of tho circumcision. In Cath
olic countries, New Year's day Is a
holiday of strict obligation, opening
. with a solemn midnight mass and the
singing of the Te Dettm. Many
Protestant churches hold a "watch
night Bcrvleo" through tho last thrco
hours of tho departing year a sol

exhortation which Is hushed Into a
few minutes of silent meditation as
tho midnight hour draws near, and
then breaks forth Into a song of praise, greeting
the first moment of the new-born year.

Onco again a year has vanished,
To the realm of bygones banished,
Where the past years sleep in glory
Not forgotten gono bofore
And tho Now Year comes to greet us,
On tho wings of Time to meet us,
And to toll the old, old story
Of tho years that are no moro.
In the wings of Time, swift flying,
IjIpb the Old Year, sighing, dying,
Dorno to Join tho host that slumbers.
On that distant unknown shore
Home to Join tho countless legion,
Thnt have crossed that mystic region.
And aro counted with the numbers
In that land of Nevermore
Onco again the bells aro ringing,
Tidings of the Now Year bringing,
With tho blytho and gladsbmo clangor
Of tho bolls that rang of yore,
And their glad and tuneful-pealing,
nrlghtor, fnirer skies revealing,
Ilids us banish sorrow, anger,
Think of gladness yet In storo.
Iet us greet tho Now .Year gladly
Though we miss tho old one sadly
Let us hopo for bright skies o'er us,
Let our dreams bo ever fair
Let us banish care and sorrow,
Hopo for gladness on the morrow
Let us build for days before us
