GOING OuT OF FASHION.

The practice of having ladies calling
day upon the second day of the year is
going out of fashion, if indeed it has not
already gone. Some years ago the fair
sex had literally the right of way in
every direction, and it was by tolerance
alone thatIthe sterner sex was anabled
to travel by car and stage. 1t is pity
that ''ladies' day" has declined, for there
was perfect panorama of beauty to be
seen when the fair creatures, cardcases
in hand and dressed in their handsomest
and most becoming costumes, and gen
orally travelling in groups of two, three,
and four, abounded everywhere. The
air was filled with their pleasant small
talk, and they looked very animated and
interesting.

Rural Mail Delivery.

The arguments in favor of free mail
delivery in the country produced in con-
nection with Mr.. Wannamaker's sug-
gestion are not of a character to stand
very critical examination. One is that
free delivery ultimately pays for itself
by the increase of postal business in
places where additional facilities are
provided. This is backed up by the
argument that il is an economy for the
community to have one man carry the
mail to a hundred farmers than to have
the hundred farmers go to the post
office.
We may mlsjudge the habit of the
fin de SiecLe farmer with regard to his
postal business: hut We are emphaticallv
of the opinion that the American ag-
riculturist does not use up any portion
of his time which might be more yalua-
bly, employed in driving to the post
Office to get his mail. He goes when
the work is slack or when the days toll
is concluded, or he has other errands.
1t is also very doubtful whether he
would be filed with gratitude to the
Government for taking away the excuse
to indulge in the weekly variety of
going to the post office and seeing what
is going on in addition to getting his
mail. Between the Importance of his
correspondence, and the Importance of
an occasional change of scene, the latter
will be likely to have far more weight in
the agricultural mind.
The argument as to probable in
crease of postal business has more
foundation; but it deals with an entirely
unknown quantity. Free delivery has
increased postal business heretofore be-
cause it has been tried in the mail pro-
ducing centers. But an agricultural
delivery, while far more expensive
would serve an element where there is
the least time and the least necessity
for large mail business. The expert
ment may be worth trial, as adding to
the facilities of agricultural life. But
in deciding the matter it will be well to
bear in mind that it it is much easier tO
begin costly experiment OF this kind
than to discontinue it.

A SCOTTISH CUSTON.

dipping" is another practice followed
on New Years day, but it has nothing
to do with snuff. \ Bible is opened
haphazard, and the first verse that
catches your eyes tells your fate for the
ensuing year. In Scotland friends are
entertained on the last night of the year.
and as the clock strikes midnight every
one exchanges kisses-men and all.
In some parts of England band plays
religious music in the main street for an
hour before midnight, but as soon as the
New Year arrives loyal tunes ane merry
airs are substituted, and procession is
formed and the citizens march through
the town. Another old custom is to
open the doors and windows at midnight
to welcome the New Year In Ireland
boys run about on New Years day with
little twisted wisps of straw, which they
hand you as an omen of prosperity, and
expect an acknowledgment in return.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

1t is true, very possibly, that only one
in million of these resolutions ever
amounts to anything permanently, A
month, week, a day, may see the end
of them, and the old sin or delinquency
or hybit may be in the ascendant again.
sometimes. alas re enforced and stronger
than before, strong almost to the point
of indifference as to its destruction on
the part of him "breaking his oath and
resolution like twist of rotten silk"
What is the use? The question rises
in the mind of the owner of the broken
resolution; it can't be helped; the
breaker was made to break; it runs in
the blood; he was given the nature that
experiences temptation; he was not
given the strength to overcome tempta-
ton; you can not change the spots in
the leopard; that is he; if you want to
change him, you want something other
than he, you don't want him; ancestry
is stronger than desire to do otherwise;
it's of no use. And thus the trick, the
custom, the wholly undesirable habit,
is left to run its race.
Yes that is but one possibility, and
when this stage of Indifference has not
been reached how well it is only to
have made the resolution, whether one
is successful in keeping it or notl Just
as hypocrisy is the tribute which vice
pays to virtue, so the mere making of
the resolution implies the knowledge of
wrong. and of right exceeding wrong.
and to make determination to discard
the wrong is already one step toward
embracing the rights. in fact, embra-
cling it's, while being the resolve, also
the carrying out of the resolve, however,
little way. The resolve is the Outcome
of the best part of ones nature; the not
keeping it is ones weakness only.

NEW YEAR SAYINGS.
EAR BEGINS

WHEN THE NEW YEAR BEGINS
Among most oriental peoples the year
is lunar and begins with the first full
moon of December. In England, from
the Fourteenth century to the change OF
calendar in 1852, the legal year began
on March %, and after the change was
made much confusion in dates resulted
before the matter was fully understood,
Even vet historical issue is sometimes
cIouded by the difference in modes OF
reckoning, and it is thus made uncer-
tain whether an event took place in the
wear named or in that following.
The present beginning of the year on
Jan. l, in the middle of winter, is not a
natural but an entirely artificial starting
point. The Greek year origionally be-
gan with the winter solstice, as did the
year of most northern nations. Among
the Latin Christian countries there were
seven different dates for beginning the
new year. March l, Jan. l, Dec. 25,
March 25. used in two ways-irst, by
beginning the year nine months sooner
than at present; second, Dy beginning
it three months later-at Easter and on
the feast of ascension.
The usage of the same country has
also varied at different times.
In France under the Merovingians the
year began on March /; the Cerlovin-
gians began their year on Dec. 25, and
the Capetians at Easter. The Romans
till Caesars time, began the year on
March l, and an illustration of the re-
luctance to change names is seen in the
fact that, although the names September
October, November and December orig
inally denoted the number of the month
they are now grossly inapplicable.
The Egyptians, Chaldeans, Persiansr
Syrians, PhGnicians and Carthaginians
began their year in the autumn, as did
the Jews their civil year.

Working for Less Than Bread.

Washington GLADDEN. in The Century.
The wife or the daughter of the bread
winner frequently works for less than
would sustain life. The main depend
ence is the wage of the husband and
father; what is earned by the women
merely adds something to the sum of
comfort. 1t is out Of his earnings that
they derive the strength which they ex-
pend for the benefit of their employer.
If they were compelled to subsist on
what their employer pays them, they
would starve. A vast amount of the
labor of the women is thus given for
wages that will not sustain life. The
vital energies by which this labor is per-
formed are supplied from other sources.
Many poor widows and deserted wives,
who sew all day and most of the night
for less than enough to feed themselves
and their children, are kept from starv
ing by the aims of some church or char
liable association, or perhaps by the
assistance of the Overseer of the Poor.
Now it is evident that this kind of labor
tends to poverty.
Because there are so many who work
for less than enough to support life,
those employers who recognize no law
but competition are ready to reduce
wages to this standard. Although, as
we have seen, it is bad economy for the
employer to pay less than will fairly
support life, if his laborers are compell-
ed to subsist upon the wages which he
pays them, yet it may be good economy
from this point of view to pay them
this inadequate wage if he can depend
on somebody else to supplement it and
can thus consume the labor force which
somebody else daily replenishes. This
is one of the many ways in which the
strong thrive at the expense of the weak.

Division of Home Cares.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Seldom in a home are the responsible
ties and cares equally divided. If the
philosopher desires TO study the merits
of the optimist SIS compared with the
pesSimist. he has good opportunity in
the home where one or the other is an
easy going, careless, happy go-lucky in
dividual, claiming to be an an optimist,
whose rule of life is: I'm not going to
worry about things, it will be all right
when my ship comes in when in all
probability the ship has never been
launched.
If the husband is the easy one, the wife
must bare the cares which slip so easily
from his shoulders. He is apt to be a
jolly good fellow, a member of numer-
Gus clubs and organizations, the expens-
eS of which he excuses by the plea that
it is for his business interests or political
advancement. He is a frequent diner
out, though the home butcher bill for
the last month is still unpaid. His wife
is in a constant state of worry over
hundred everyday affairs which he has
neglected. Socially, she is not the sue
cess her husband is, as the most of her
acquaintances dislike her serious, al
most stern, face, and her worried ex-
preston, which she cannot easily throw
off.
If the husband is the chief care taker
the picture is equally dark. II pity Mr..
Smith, because he has so many cares at
home" is not an unusual expression.
The fact is, the optimist takes too much
credit to himself for not borrowing
troubles, when in reality he has not ex-
erted himrelf to prevent those under his
control.

chilled that he was unable tn get warm,

he was threatened with a severe case of
Pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
