a journal OF Queen Anne's time tells us
that oranges stuffed with cloves were a
common New Years gift, as was also a
gilt nutmeg. The people paraded the
streets dressed in their best clothes, inva.
riably carrying a Keutish pippin In their
hands, or oranges.
The Jews celebrate the first day Of the
month, Tisri, in much the same fashion,
giving entertainments and exchanging
gifts.
Curious customs prevail In almost all
countries. Hospinian say that in Rome
in his day no fare was permitted to be car.
ried out Of the house. nor any kind OF iron
or brass work, and under no circumstances
could a loan he made, even to relatives.
The Persians celebrate the day by extern
dive agricultural ceremonies, as also do

Cold aud moisture combined have a
torporising effect upon the bodily organs,
and the digestive and secretive processes
are apt to be more tardily performed in
winter THAI in fall. The same is true,
also, of the excretory funstlons. The
bowels are often sluggish, and the pores of
the skin throw off but little waste matter
atthis season The system, therefore,
requires opening up a little, aud also
purifying aud regulating. aud the safest,
surest and most thorough tonic and
Alternative that can be used for these
purposes is Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs.
Persons who wish to escape the rheumatic
twinges. the dyspeptic a~gonies. the pain

attacks and the nervous vlsitatiops, so
common at this time Of the year. will do
well to reinforce their systems with this
renowned stomachic and invigorant. 1t

stomach, cheers the spirits and r~enovates

There is now travelling on the line a
one armed cornet player, and a capital
tune he plays, too. He has an iron hook
fixed in the wooden arm, and he at
taches the cornet to this. holding it in
position TO the lips. With the other
hand he fingers the trio of keys. Another
well known railway musician is the pro
prietor Of a mechanical dancing nigger.
1t may be said to be one of the most pop
ular entertainments now before the tray-
cling public.
The owner of the figure stands up in
the carriage-usually by the door-and
in the space in front OF him he places a
wooden pedestal, on which the little

senate in Wyoming was the pioneer in
holding open executive sessions. Its ex-
ample was followed BY the Mrnncsctl SEN

Water Doe. Not Move with tho Wave.

Water Does Not Move with tho Wave.
There is no necessary connection be-
tween the advance of n wave and the
forward movement of the water compos-
ing it, as uIGy be seen by running the
fingers along the keys of a piano. An
inverted wav travels along, but the
keys merely move up and down. SINH
larly, a wave may often be observed
running along the ripe ears of golden
grain while the stalks are firmly rooted
in the soil. The onward progress of a
sea wave is easily perceptible, and by
watching some light substance floating
on the surface the fact is revealed that
the water is not moving with the anne
velocity .-Chambers' journal.
