to all others. From the report of the

January.

In old Roman mythology Janus was q
royal doorkeeper, an appropriate name
for such parsonage, in as-much as the
Latin word janua, from which Janus is
derived, means door. When Numa
Pompilius, whose reign closed about six
hundred seventy-two years B. G. (beiore
ChrisD took it into his head to make
new timetable" for the world, he upset
things generally. The Ancient Jewish
Egyptian, and Greek Calenders began
the year on the 25th Of March, and this
system ran onward into the Christian
centuries. But Numa Pompilius placed
two new months before the previous ten,
and called the first January in honor of
Janus; and very appropriately, for as
the old NEUROLOGICAL deity was door
opener, so January opens the year. This
Janus, by the way, had two faces (and
the two-faced people of these days show
that the race is not extinct), one looking
forward and one backw ard, into the fu.
ture and into the past. Occasionally he
was represented with four faces, and thus
he had the double name Janus Bifrons
(two-faced) and Janus Quadrifrons (four
faced).
The Romans worshipped Janus as the
guardian of the year and the seasons -
of gates and doors: end the beginning
of the day the people prayed to him,
and at the beginning of the year sacrif>
ees were offered to him on twelve alters,
one for each month. -
The first day of January has for many
centuries been celebrated by feastiDgs
and rejoicings. and the custom of max
ing presents dates back SO far into the
dim past that we cannot trace its origin.
Early Latin authors mention it, and il is
practised to great excess in the far-of
years of English and French history
The fashion was, in those days, to give
such articles as wererare, and we read Of
presents of "glove-money," or gloves,
when gloves were expensive. About the
beginning of the sixteenth century me-
tallic pins were invented, doubtless to
the great joy and convenience of the Ia
dies, and these useful little articles were
often given as New Years presents and
money with which to purchase pins, and
so pin money" became common gift.
In process of time the phrase came to
mean any money to be expended for tri-
fes.

A Printers Misfortune.

Some years ago, when the writer was
reporter upon an eastern paper, 1t de-
volved upon him to write for the same
edition an account of the presentation
OF gold headed cane to the Rev. DIR.
Nudge, the clergyman of the place, and
the description of patent hog-killing
and sausage machine that had Just boen
put in operation at the factory. Now,
what made DR.. Nudge mad was this -
The inconsiderate buccaneer who made
up the forms got the two locals mixed up
in frightful manner, and when we went
to press, something like this was the ap-
palling result:
"Several of DR.. Mudge's friends call
ed upon him yesterday, and after brief
conversation, the unsuspecting hog was
seized by the hind legs and slid along
beam, until he reached the hot-water
tank. He explained the object of their
visit, and presented him with very
handsome gold headed butcher who
grabbed him by the tail, swung him
round, cut his throat from ear to ear, and
in less than minute the carcass was in
the water. Thereupon he came forward
and said there were times when the feel

in which so huge an animal was cut into
so many fragments was simply astonish-

when the machine seized him, and in
less time than it takes to write, the hog
was cut into fragments and worked up
into delicious sausage. The occasion
will long he remembered by the doctors
friends as one of the most delightful of
their lives. The best pieces can be OBJ

Bear-hunting is one of the most exeit-

was attacked first by the dogs, which she
caught up and flung, first one and then
another to great distance. During the
struggle, the cub was wounded with a
pistol-ball At once the mother placed
the cub between her hind legs, and shov-
ing it along, sought fight; but, wound
ed herself, she faced about, rose upon
her hind legs and bade defiance 10 her
pursuers. Wounded again, she fell dead
and the cub mounted the dead body OF
its mother, and continued the fight till
captured.
Since the days of Job, there has been
no such patience as is now displayed by

hunting the seal. Having ascertained
where the seal is gnawing beneath the
ice for breathing-hole, the hunter per-
forates the spot with slender bone rod
with a point at one end and a knob al
at the other, which is moved by the seal
in coming to the surface. This may oc-
cupy twenty-four hours. The hunter
then builds wall ofsnow, four feet high
to shelter him from the wind. Seating
himself behind it, he places by his side
his spear and lines. He must preserve
the utmost silence, that he may hear the
seal at work and not cause fright to the
animal. He even binds his knees to
gether with throng to prevent the rust
ling of his clothes. And there he sit
for twenty-four hours waiting the coming
of the seal to the surface, when he eau
tiously rises with spear in hand, and the
