New Year Superstftions.

The following superstitions in connection
with New Year arc still firmly believed in
various parts of England, Ireland. Scotland
and Wales:
On New Years morning go to a well or
fountain and leave an apple and nosegay
and the water will keep fresh and be more
wholesome all the year.
1t Is bad luck to lend money on New
Years day.
Don't pay money out on New YEARS. day
Put money away on New Years day,
And all the year you will have money TO pay
Before locking the door for the hight on
New Years eve place gold coin near it,
and let 1t remain there until the church
bells ring the next morning, and you will
have plenty Of money all that year.
II you wash clothes on New Years day,
one Of the family will be washed out OF
existence before the year is out.
1t Is unlucky to have a woman to be
your first visitor on New Years day
II a dark complexioned man crosses your
threshold first on New Years day, you will
be prosperous; II a blond, unlucky, and
II a redheaded man, dire disaster will surely
follow.
So strong Is the belief In this last adage
In some places that dark complexioned
men are paid a small gratuity to call early
and walk through the first floor OF the
house, entering by the back door and leav
ing by the front.-Exchange

The Poison in the Can.

There is hardly question that the in
spection Of food products authorized by
the state for the conservation OF the
public health should be 80 extended as
20 include what are commercially known
as Canned goods" Many cases of
poisoning are known to have resulted
from the consumption Of meats, fruits
and vegetables put up in tin cans. In
large part, at first, the poison was at
tributed to the action of food acids upon
the lead used in the manufacture of an
inferior quality of tin. AS result there
has been greater care ON the part of
canning factories to obtain tinplate of
proper quality; but the solder necessarily
used always contains lead, and the
danger Of lead poisoning, though modifi-
ed, still remains.
More careful investigation Of the causes
of sickness from eating timed foods has
led to the conviction that lead poisoning
is not the only nor the chief factor in
bringing sickness about. Ptomaines
exist in all meats and fish; useful and
harmless during life, after death they
excrete an alkaloid poison. This process
is the beginning Of unfinished putre-
faction, and cannot be detected by taste
or smell; but this alkaloid poison is
doubtless the frequent cause of sickness
and death 4--Reppnf.

The Columbia Daily Calendar

remains the only valuable daily pad
calendar. The calendar for '93 is of the
same general design as that of previous
years, consisting of 366 leaves, one for
every day in the year, and a calendar
for the entire year The day of the
week, of the month, and of the year are
given, and on each leaf is short sermon
on the Gospel of Outdoors, Health, and
Happiness" with valuable hints on prac-
tical road making. The leaves are SO
arranged that there will be no stub left,
and each one can be referred to at any
time during the year. The pad is upon
metallic stand Of ivory black, arranged
so as to rest upon the desk at con-
venient angle. The pad matter, which
in the aggregate is enough to make a
book, is all fresh and new, and is of
more pertinent value than that of any
previous calendar. The calendar is
issued by the Pope Mfg. Co., of Bosto n,
New York, and Chicago.

Dont's for Subscribers.

Don't think that the editor loses any
sleep if you stop your paper.
Don't forget to send the amout due
when you order your paper discon-
tinued.
Don't forget to send the old as we'll as
your new address when you change you
paper.
Don't keep the paper waiting year or
longer for your subscription, but pay
promptly.
Don't get angry when you receive a
bill, but go to the nearest postoffice and
remit the amount to us.
Don't forget that it is as a great sin to
defraud paper out of its just dues as it
is to cheat the butcher or the baker.
Don't let it escape your memory that
the new postal makes it larceny to take
a paper and refuse to pay for it.
Don't call at this office, and tell us
how to run the paper, saying, "Why
don't you put in this?' or "Why don't
you leave out that?" 1t is better to start
a paper of your own.
Don't think that because you are good
for the amount that we ought not to be
in hurry to get it; but remember that
as long as it is in your pocket it does us
no good.
Don't forget that those who defraud a
paper out of what is due will have to
settle the bill in the next world, and
perhaps in a place where no paper can
be published on account of the calorific
state of the atmosphere.
Don't get excited and stop your pape,
if you see something in it that does not
agree with your ideas, but remember
that there is a chance, and big one too,
of you being in the wrong, and the ar
ticle may call forth words of praise from
nine-tenths of the subscribers.

1t seems that in the olden time it was
customary to give gloves as presents on
New Years day. AS they were very ex.
pensive, quite often a sum Of money, called
glove money, was given instead Some.
times parents and official persons were
presented with gloves by those who wished
TO conciliate or find favor with them
There ia an anecdote about Sir Thomas
Moore, who, having decided a case favor.
ably for lady client, received from her on
New Years day pair of gloves containing
forty gold coins called angels. He could
not refuse the gloves, but sent back the
coins with this note; 'Mistress-Since il
were against good manners to refuse youl
New Years gift, am content to take YOU
gloves, but as for the lining utterly re
fuse It. ."-Philadelphia Record

NEW YEAR MASoUERADES.
Like Many Other Customs They Arc Re-
minders of Paganism.

Like many Other Customs They Arc Re
minders of Paganism.
The custom of masquerading at New
Year dates back to pagan times, long be-
fore the commencement Of the Christian
era The practice embraced two princi
pisa homage and indulgence, and also in
cludtd the making Of friendly calls and
the presentation Of gifts, and In spite Of
all opposition this form Of celebrating New
Year has, with some notifications con
tinued to the present day.
In the Fifth century the church began an
energetic crusade against this pagan prac
tice" st. Maximus, Of Turin, raised his
voice against 'the superstitious folly Of the
ist Of January, when Christians put on
habits Of intemperance and seek TO fore
stall their friends with early calls in the
morning, bringing them petty presents MS
New Year gifts, In the hope OF receiving
something In return more valuable" st.
Peter Chrysolosus, bishop Ravenna, also
denounced the custom, and TO the excuse
offered that it was only sport, not sacri
legious, replied: mo one can with safety
play with the serpent. Who can amuse him
self with impiety or joke with sacrilegei
Men dress themselves up like women, and
they put on their robes. They transform
themselves into beasts and monsters A
man employs in this disguise all his ambi
tion, as II he were sorry he were man."
In the year 568, during the reign Of King
Caribert, Of Paris, the council of Tours
recommended the abolition Of all pagan
superstitionz in the land. and among the
practices SO denounced was that Of men
Disgusting themselves as deer and other
animals, and running about the country
in various grotesques and committing all
sorts of follies" But in spite of all the
anathemas hurled against the custom the
Christians could not be turned away from
the ancient extravagances that marked
the calends Of January. - Philadelphia
