He was stung by a bad look.
His stock excuse was "Iforgot. "

He did not put his heart in his ,
j
work.
He learned nothing from his
blunders.
He felt that he was above his
position. '

inferiors.
He was content to be a second-
rate man.
He ruined his ability by half do
ing things.
He never dared to acton his own
account.
He did not think it worth while
to learn how.
He tried to make a k'bluff" take
the place of ability.

ment every evening.
Familiarity with slipshod meth

He thought it was clever to use
coarse profane language.
He was ashamed of his parents

He imitated the habits of men
who" could stand more than he
could.

Tliu year opens during tbe feast uf
the wint- : solstice , called by the Bul
garians "Knlada. " Like the Hallow
een of Scotland , it is a great tiuu
among ihe girls for all kinds of divinatory -
tory rites respecting their future
spouses , and to every Hue or verse of
songs sung during this festive period
is added the. refrain of "II ey Kulada ,
uioy Kulada. "
The jinn , or demons , are at this sea
son supposed to be especially alert and
powerful against mankind , and the
Bulgarians , like the inhabitants of Asia
Minor during the similar observance of
the Fishoti , consider it necessary to
take every precaution against their
malevolence. A log of wood is left in
every cart and Avater in every pitcher
in order to prevent any demon tailing
possession of them and by his presence
rendering them too heavy to lift or
draw.
The Albanians are careful at this sea
son not to leave any article of wearing
apparel out of doors after nightfall ,
and if by some oversight a garment
should be so left it is washed before
being used in order to get rid ofany -
spell cast upon it by the supernals.
Fire ceremonies play a great part i *
the Christmas and New Year'a'observ-
anccs of the Albanian highlanders. On.
'
the eve of St. Basil , Jan. 1 , the fire Is
kept burning all night , aud the halt
burned cherry branches rescued from
the . Christmas tire are again thrown
on and withdrawn to be wholly con
sumed on the eve of the Epiphany.
when the ashes are collected and
strewn in the vineyard. In the morn
ing people wash themselves and their
children in "unspoken over" water and
draw omens from the character , grave
or gay , of the person who lirst enters
the house. A cock is also sacrificed , for
it is auspicious to spill blood in .the
kouse on St. Basil's day. New York
Tribune.
NEW YEAR'S CAKES.
Timely Hint * For the Caterers
Provide Good Cheer.
The regular New Year's cookies of
Dutch days , which are displayed , say.
with caraway comfits and candied
fruit , have different ingredients from
the loaves of cake which , every , house
wife used to make for New Year's day.
It was the custom for a provident
housekeeper to prepare fruit , pound ,
silver or delicate cake aud sometimes
a loaf of golden sponge. Every one
was rich. . requiring an abundance of
eggs at a season when , eggs were more
expensive and difficult to obtain than
at any other time of the year. * "
The Christmas fruit cake served at
Now Year's was always made at least
u mouth before it was needed , a stifli-
cicnt supply to last all winter being
prepared in the fall.
round cake is as rich as fruit cake ,
but as there is no-fruit in it less butter
It
ter must be used in proportion to the
sugar than in fruit cake. The pound
cake of today is made differently frtfm
the old time rule. No One now makes
"pound for pound. " , - * / .
A New Year's pound cake shdnld-rbe
elaborately decorated -ornamental
icing dntl candied fruits. First , cover
the cake carefully with two .coats-V > f
Jcing , and ornament it in any /tv
preferred with confectioners' "
icing , using tubes for the p'urppse.
After this decorate each loaf \vith-"can
died fruit to give color. Select for each
three ounces of candied cherries , two
ounces of candied angelica and two
ounces each of candied red. and white
pears. A white pear is usually placed
with the stem up in the center of the
cnke in a place left for it. and the r.est
of the white and the red pears a-rs
each cut in six slice * , the angelica in
lozenge shaittd pieces and the cherries
in halves. These fruits are arranged
on" the icing in any fanciful way. New
York Tribune.
Jan. 1 the Key to the Whole Year.
The Romans also made the lirst day
of the year a holiday in honor of Jauu ? ,
to whom they offered sacrifices on
twelve pillars typical of the'twelve
months of the year. They also strove
to be very good on that day , believjng
that as that day went so would the
whole year. Relatives interchanged
presents , and in the time of the emper
ors these were made the recipients 'o'f
share until it finally became an op .
pressive burden. V *
Cupid's Xerr Year's F.ortune. '
Advantage is taken of the day by the
unmarried i.i some countries to ascer
tain ; how many years will * elapse ere
the bonds of matrimony will be fixed
upon them by swinging a ring fastened
a hair so that the ring , tapping the
side of a teacup will strike off the num
ber of years. The grounds of tea anil
coffee are also used in cups to tell the
years.
