The First Foot.
BONNIE LASSIE
at the ingle sit*—
The old year is al
most dead;
Nimbly, as by the
blaze she knits.
Her needles throw
off the thread.
The night Is cold and
the sky is dark,
And the wind is
wailing sore;
But 'tis New Year's
and the maid must mark
The first foot to cross the door.
“Rest, Jeanle, for the hour is late;
How the wind doth moan and sigh!"
“Mother come knit beside me and wait
Till we see the Old Year die.
My lover true will then come to me,
My love from the Solway shore;
This word he has sent, that his own shall
be
The first foot to cross my door.”
"True, Jeanie, the auld wives say that ill
Or good, for the coming year,
\Y ill follow the one who o'er the sill
First steps. But tho night is drear—
He can never brave tlds wind and rnin.
So rest, now, and rise before
The day well dawns. When you listen
again
Your first foot may cross the door.”
“Knit with me," still the maiden said—
Together they wntch and wait;
The cuckoo clock sounds twelve o'erhead,
And her lover is at the gate.
“Ah, now,"’ cried Jean, “there's no ill to
fear, v
But good luck is for us in store,
Since my lover has braved the night so
drear,
The first to cross our door."
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.
--
A Resolve to Do Hotter Is a step in
the Right Direction.
It is true, very possibly, that only
one in a million of these resolutions
ever amounts to anything permanently.
A month, a week, a day, may see the
end of them, and the old sin or delin
quency or habit may be in the as
cendant again, sometimes, alas! re-en
forced and stronger than before, strong
almost to the point of indifference as
to its destruction on the part of him
“breaking his oath and resolution like
a twist of rotten silk.”
What is the use? The question rises
in the mind of the owner of the broken
resolution; it can't be helped; the
breaker was made to break; it runs in
the blood; he was given the nature
that experiences temptation; he was
not given the strength to overcome
temptation; you can not change the
spots in the leopard; that is he, if you
want to change him. you want some
thing other than lie, you don't want
him; ancestry is stronger than a desire
to do otherwise; it's of no use. And
thus the trick, the custom, the wholly
undesirable habit, is left to inn its
race.
Yet that is but one possibility, and'
when this stage of indifference has not
been reached how well it is only to
have made the resolution, whether one
is successful in keeping it or not! Just
as hypocrisy is the tribute which vice
pays to virtue, so the mere making of
the resolution implies the knowledge
of wrong, and of a right exceeding
wrong, and to make a determination to
discard the wrong is already one step
toward embracing the right—is, in
fact, embracing it—is, while being the
.resolve, however little way. The re
solve is the outcome of the best part of
one's nature; the not keeping it is one's
weakness only.—Harper's Bazar.

New Year's Day la Far Off Japan.
Simple and characteristic outdoor
decorations make a Japanese city or
village beautiful at the New Year
season. One of the most common is the
straw rope. A rope with many wisps
of straw and strips of white paper
hanging therefrom, and other objects,
such as seaweeds, ferns, a lemon
(orange?), a red lobster shell, dried per
simmons, charcoal, and dried sardines
attached thereto, will be stretched
either between the pine trees or above
the doorway. Each of the articles just
mentioned represents an idea—pine,
bamboo, seaweeds and ferns, being
evergreens, are emblems of constancy;
the straw fringes, according to a
legend often related, are supposed to
exclude evil agencies; ‘-the lobster by
its bent form is indicative of old age or
long life;” tlie lemon (or orange?) is
called daidai. which word may also
mean “generation [after] generation;'’
“the dried persimmons are sweets long
and well preserved: the sardines, from
their always swiming in a swarm, de- i
note the wish for a large family," anti j
the charcoal is “an imperishable sub
stunee.”—Chicago Tribune. |

An Anecdote of the Olden Time.
In the time of Charles I of Kngland a
court jester was cleverly outwitted by
a nobleman, who had, according to the
custom of the day. presented the jester
with a sum of money.
On New Year's morning the jester
came into the presence of the noble
man, and received, ps he expected, a
number of gold pieces. He thought he
had not been given enough, so he
tossed them in his hand, muttering
that they were light. The nobleman
saw this, and said: “Prithee, Archy,
let me see them again; and, by the
way, there is one of them I would be
loath to part with.”
Naturally enough, perhaps, Archy
thought more coins were to be added
to his store, so he willingly returned
them to his lordship. But the noble
man put them into his pocket, saying,
“I once gave my money into the hands
of a fool who hadn't the wit to keep
it.”—Philadelphia Record.
The Scottish liogmAny.
A satisfactory explanation of the
term “hogmany,” used by the Scots to
designate the last day of the old year,
has ncTer yet been given, but there are
two suppositions which are quite plaus
ible. One is that the term "hoginanv”
is derived from “hogenot” or “hogg
night,’’ the Scandinavian name for the
night preceding the feast of yule, when
animals were sacrificed, the word
“hogg” meaning to kill. The other de
rivation is from the French, “au gue
menez,” “to the mistletoe go,” refer
ring to the Druids’ custom on New
Year’s eve of collecting the mistletoe
from the oaks, and after consecrating
it distributing it among the people of
the Hauls, by whom it was prized be
cause of the many virtues ascribed to
it.—Exchange.
Decline of a Pretty Custom.
The practice of having a ladies’ call
ing day upon the second day of the
year is going out of fashion, if indeed
it has not already gone. Some years
ago the fair sex had literally the right
of way in every direction, and it was
by tolerence alone that the sterner sex
was enabled to travel by car or stage.
It is a pity that “ladies’ day” has de
clined, for there was a perfect pano
rama of beauty to be seen when the
fair creatures, cardcases in hand and
dressed in their handsomest and most
becoming costumes, and generally
traveling in groups of two. three and
four, abounded everywhere. The air
was filled with their pleasant small
talk, and they looked very animated
and interesting.—Selected.
A Curioufl tlapaneite Ceremony.
It is “after nightfall on the last
night of the old year " that a curious
ceremony called oni horai. or “devil
expulsion,” is performed. The head of
the family with a box of roasted beans
goes into every room in the house, and
scattering the beans about the room
and into every corner cries out: “Faku
wa achi, oni wa soto”—"Happiness
within, the devil without.”

Providing for tli« Unemployed.
The people of Cincinnati proposed to
raise J.Mi.Ooo, to be used buying several
hills near that eity, and dix'frinS' them
away, expecting to be reimbursed by
the sale of the stone, gravel and sand
they contain. Possibly it may be a suc
cess, but the unemployed for whom
the hope to provide labor by this
scheme would not go out to dig gravel
for a farmer at any fair wages. If they
do it for tv committee of tho citizens,
but a small part of them would stick to
it a week before they would givo up, if
made to fairly earn their wnges. Nor
would many of them accept such work
if offered to them. They would have
to go around the corner to see a man
about, a job they hud the promise, of,
and they would not got back until the
agent who wanted them was far away.
With the unemployed in some of our
cities clamoring for labor, “bread or
blood,” a farmer near by ennuot hire
men to harvest liis wheat erop unless
at prices in excess of tho value of the
crop.
Albino Animals lu Japan.
Albino animals are regarded by the
•I u pan esc in a superstitious light. The
appearance of one is considered a good
omen for tho reigning Mikado, and oc
casionally signalizes a reign, For ex
ample, one reign is called "the period
of the white pheasant," nnother “the
period of the white plnenix.” A white
fox is often mentioned in their fables,
and a white serpant appears in their
pictures of tho goddess of • fortune.
Among the Japanese us among the
ancient (Ireelcs, while horses were
dedicated to the gods, and are still at
tached to tho larger temples of tho
country. The milk and butter of
white cows were formerly prized a
medicine.

The Air We Rreathe.
A new and novel instrument is the
koniseope, or dust-testing apparatus,
it is not a complicated scientific ma
chine. being solely intended for esti
mating in an easy and simple manner
the amount of pollution and number of
dust particles in the atmosphere. The
action of the instrument is based on
certain color phenomena associated
with what is called "cloudy condensa
tion of air" and which can bo produced
by steam jets, high or low temperature
of the air, the increased number of dust
nuclei, etc, In working the koniseope
the air is drawn into the aparatus by
means of a common air pump, and
(illicitly passes to the test tubes, which
are fitted with glass at both ends.
When the tube thus charged is held to
ward the light various colors from pure
white to nearly black-blue (according
to the purity or impurity of the sam
ple under test) are indicated. The dust
particles also form an important factor
in these tests, the variation in their
number causing the mirror to throw
all the colors of the rainbow.
Van ning u s Remedy.
Yawning1, though contrary to the
canons of good society, is undoubtedly
very beneficial to the individual. Mus
cles are brought into play during a
good yawn which otherwise never ob
tain any exercise at all, and its value
as a sort of natural massage is consid
erable. The muscles which move the
lower jaw and the breathing muscles of
the chest are the first ones used during
the process of gaping, then the tongue
is rounded nnd arched, the palate
tightly stretched, and the uvula raised.
The eyes generally close tightly to-1
ward the termination of the yawn, the
ears are raised slightly and the nostrils
dilated. The craMt some times heard
in the ear proves that the aural mem
bran;^ arc also stretched and exercised,
Something impossible fcy any pi'occss
but a yawn, it has recently been rec
ommended by some doctors that suffer
ers from nasal catarrh should make a
practice of yawning six or seven times
a day, and good results will follow. It
is also considered valuable in incarna
tion of the palate, sore throat and ear
ache.

For Royal Baking Powder. The “Royal"
is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and prac
tical, stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac
turers, and well known by all dealers. :?lk
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the “ Royal,” it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
of the superiority of the "Royal.” To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
“Royal.” There is no substitute for the " Royal.”
