But there is as little Christmas in Fife as In
any part of Scotland. The entire holiday
time III Scotland is generally known as the
DAFT days, and the only day of them ali that
WAS ever held in anything like respect was
Handsel Monday. This was, and is, the
first Monday of the new year. 1t is the
Scotch day for present making, and in most
OF the rural districts, the day for friendly
and family gatherings of n tender and
genial rather than All uproarious nature.
But Hngmanay is the great chidren's and
youths day of the holiday period. In
oiden times II was the last day of the year.
In many localities it is now the day before
Christmas Nobody has ever discovered
what the word really means, but Hogmanay
day, whether the day before Christmas or
New Years, is in Scotland that one day of
the year in which all children, in fantastic
dress, are permitted to sing, dance and beg
from door to door, in the most boisterous
manner Imaginable and no one Is so dar-
Ing as TO refuse them cakes, or Sweets" or

outrageous costumes are invented. The

called "GulZers" or little disguised ones
They learn some fine carols, but most of
their songs are OF the veriest local doggrrel.
Atiired in their weird costumes they pro-

enter:

Jake KiIrain's Opinion.

BELFAST, N. Y, June 23.-Jake
Kilrain says, relative to the prospect
i've Sullivan and Slavin fight: ut is
hard to predict the winner, both are
good men. They are evenly matched,
but if Sullivan could get well and go
into the ring in his best condition, /
think he would have the advantage
of Slavin. Slavin is q good puncher,
but will take a punch to give a
punch, and every blow q fell
low gets helps lay him out.
Sullivan is the larger of the
two by about twenty pounds, and
in fighting trim, weighs two ten or
two hundred and fifteen pounds.
Slavin is hard hitter and his long
arms. I had to take punch from
him to reach him; shafts how 1 got
my black eyes.

Is disease a Punishmente

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
"Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two DAYS time. Try it
and be convinced" Fifty cent bottles for
sale by Snipes & Kinersley, druggists.

super,tition. About E~r..

In olden times, in the French rural
districts, the parish priest would, very
early on the Easter morning, visit from
house to house, and bless each in turn.
In payment for his visit and blessing he
always received eggs, and sometimes it
was serious question how to dispose of
so large number. Among the French
royalty, IN a similar period, baskets
trimmed with green leaves and filled
with golden eggs. after the celebration
of high mass on Easter morning, were
brought into the kings cabinet and dis
tributed to the court by the chaplain.
Indeed it was an article of faith in Nor
mandy that when the church bells ush-
cred in the Easter morn, angels descended
to the homes where little children dwelt,
and left eggs as an assurance of their
visit.-Emma j. Gray in Good House

LET US CELEBRATE.

If this city intends to have fourth of
July celebration it is about time a move
was made in that direction. If the mat
ter is delayed much longer the towns
and districts contiguous to The Dalles
will have circumvented us by making
arrangements to hold celebrations OF
their own and then there will be nothing
left for us but to fold our arms and say
-'It is too late" The Dalles ought to
have celebration and ought to take
steps in that direction without delay.

From Run to Neektie.


The necktie, now become purely or
namental detail of dress, was originally
useful. 1t was intended to protect the
throat. Its history may be traced from
the time of the Stuarts in England, when
immense ruffs, which served as neck
cloths and collars, were worn.
Later neckcloths or cravats were
adopted, and no doubt were a welcome
change from the stiff, uncomfortable
ruff. They were of Brussels or Flanders
lace, tied in knot under the chin, the
ends being allowed to hang square.
Still later they were worn much longer,
the ends being passed through the but
ton holes of the waistcoat.
The lace neckcloth was succeeded by
small cambria bands, but was reintro-
duced in Queen Anne's reign, and did
not go out of use entirely until about
1875. Then a broad silk ribbon, tied in
a large bow in front, was worn, and this
in turn was followed by white cambria
stocks buckled IN the back, and by mus
lin cravats, which were tied in front in
an immense bow.
In the early part of this century the
stiff linen collar had begun to be worn,
and the cravat was passed twice around
the collar and tied in fanciful bow in
front
About 1920 cravats were made very
wide in the center and tapered off to-
ward the ends. Thirty years ago stocks
and cravats began to disappear, and
scarfs began to take their place. From
these scarfs, gradually growing smaller,
was developed the modern neat necktie.

A Prettx rabla scarf.

A very pretty scarf for table or dresser
came to my notice lately. Linen of
rather fine quality was hemstitched on
ends and sides, and grouped in twos and
threes with some single flowers were
dogwood blossoms without foliage. The
edge of each petal was outlined in white
silk and then closely darned across the
same silk. a single thread of flofoss
being used for the darning and two for
the outline. The lines of darning were
as close together as could be made and
the stitch was taken as short as possible
on the wrong side and quite long ON the
right, SO an almost solid silk flower in
appearance was the result when finished,
which was extremely Pretty.-W Washing
