WHEN NEW YEAR BEGINS

Among most oriental peoples the year is
lunar and begins with the first full moon
OF December. In England, from the four
teenth century to the change of calendar in
l752, the legal year began on March Is. and
after the change was made much confusion
! dates resulted before the matter was
FULLY understood. Even yet u historical
issue is sometimes clouded by the differ
ence in modes of reckoning, and it is thus
made uncertain whether an event took
place in the year named or in that follow
ing. The present beginning of the year on
Jan. l, in t:e middle of winter, is not q
natural but an entirely artificial starting
point. The Greek year originally began
with the winter ~s0lstice, az did the wear of
most northern nations.

SLOW me!OuNs
The light of the fire drove the dark lines away.
While it lent all a sweet mystery.
Both dancers were courtly. and figures OF
grace,
Yet the maid held my fancy alone.
The glow gave q blush to her beautiful face.
In her dark eyes n fairer light shone.
And then as She courtesied, so stately. so slow.
With the grace of an age that is past,
1t seemed like a dream of the long, long ago
Like q dream tina, l knew could not last.
So stately, SO slow. was each step that she
made,
And so graceful the head that she bent:
The old fashioned fan, that at times cast A
shade.
Such an air CT true elegance lent;
The place Of the dance gave a place to NV
thought.
And l dreamed of the days that are dead:
The spell OF the dance was by sorcery wrought,
And the hurrying modern days fed.
1t was peaee-the sweet rest Of the olden day
When all idols were not overthrown-
When romance still lived, and as king Love
held sway.
Before Nammon to ruler had grown.
And all those who watched were bewitched by
the dance,
And they dreamed till the measure was
Today Was forgot in the short backward
glance
And the charms of the day gone before.

Had a Cory Rise and FnlI.

The Janssares or Janezaries were a
body Of Turkish soldiers, first organized
about 1880 A. d. by Sultan Dream from
the young Christian prisoners. The
name IS from the Turkish yeni askari,
new soldiers. The Janissaries formed
the earlier standing army of Europe
They were at first highly privileged and
soon attained great power both in war
and politics. In 1912 they raised Selim to
the throne, and caused the death OF the
famous Baiazet; in lS0S they objected to
the organization of any other army than
their own body, and massacred all the
new troops they could. In 1876 Moham-
med IL. suppressed them, his new troops
remembering the massacre eighteen years
before, and slaughtered 10000 of the OBJ
noxious troops. This put an end to the
body. The massacre lasted three days,
June 18th, 10Th and 10th. When it was
ended Mohammed organized his new ar

OUR GOVERNOR
Comment OF Florida Paper on His
Address.

AuufGSs.
A leading paper of st. Augustine, Fla,
publishes the following editorial COM
ment on Governor Markham's address at
the Worlds Fair:
Governor Mark hams address at the
dedication of California's building on the
exposition grounds recently shows with
great force what California is doing and
has done 10 win high position i'll the
great sisterhood of States. AS one peruses
the eloquent words OF the speaker he is
compelled TO note the remarkable differ
ence between two great States, California
and Florida, and certainly the results ar
rived al are not as satisfactory as one
could wish. Not that nature has done so
much more for one than the other, for
while We acknowledge that the first
named is rich in gold, in grain ana iii
fruit lands, we also claim for the other
unquestioned and unequaled facilities for
lfuIt and vegetables, with exceedingly
ValuabIes stores Of phosphates and other
products OF the mines; and, what is more,
ready access to the markets Of the world
W by, then, is the comparison detri-
mental 10 Florida? In this, and this
alone: The one is controlled by men OF
progressive ideas; the other by those who
are utterly opposed to any advancement,
Whatever its nature may be. California
was the FIRST State 10 make an approprIa-
ton Tor State building I;S30O, U00y; Florida
was not the last-tor she has made none
at all; those having voice in sucn matters
asserting. I'VE cannot raise money for
this purpose, for the financial condition
would not justify the expenditure" If
not it never will with such men at the
helm as we now have.
But to show how insincere was such a
statement, when progressive men came
forward and offered large sums il the
State at large would do even a small
share, then they said, mo, these railroad
men expect to make money out ot the
fair p Wen, why not? In the name OF
common sense what is the fair intended
for Tut TO advertise the resources OF each
section and bring capital and Immigrants
to our borders? And how could the
roads make money unless all receive
benetit2
1t is not too much to hope and expect
that some day sufficient Of the more pro-
gresslVe element OF manklnd-men inn
bued with large ideas and unselfsh
enough to work for the general good Of
the commonwealth, even though some
individual locality does not reap the
whole beuelit-Wil settle in the state to
lift 1t out OF the mire OF Incidence and in
difference which is now manifest in pub
lie places, and raise it to the higher grade
Of prosperity which our sister State en-
Joys.

SeIf-Praise.

Self-praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person 10 tell the truth about himself.
" hen what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man
will doubt his word Now, 10 say that
ALLCoCK'S PoRoUs PLASTERs are the
only genuine and reliable porous plasters
made Is not self-praise in the slightest de-
gree. they have stood the test for over
thirty years, and in proof OF their merits
it is only necessary to call attention to
the cures they have effected and to the
voluntary testimonials OF those who have
used them.
Beware OF limitations, and do not be de-
ceived by Misrepresentation. Ask for
ALLCoCk's, and let no solicitation or ex-
PLANTATION induce you to accept a substi-
tute.

be any such thing as hard times" except

absence OF work be regarded as mis-

there can be no real, legitimate normal
absence of work" until every man is as
comfortable and happy as he desires to
be. The fact that we suffer in the
midst of plenty and that "work'' Is
scarce in the presence Of a world OF things
to be done is discredit to our civiliza-
ton. 1t is proof that our civilization is
not so grand thing as we have been
taught to believe it.
Oroville Register: In view of the an
preaching Good Roads Convention. all
facts bearing upon roads are of some in
terest. Wide tires are believed by MANY
10 benefit roads. while narrow tires in
jure them. We recently heard prolni-
nent Road Overseer in the county de-
clare that 1t was useless to make good
roads, for they were quickly cut up and
destroyed by narroW-tired wagons. Most
European countries have regulations re-
garding the width of tires In France
the market wagons have tires from three
to ten inches wide, usually from four to
six inches, and the rear axle is the
longest, so that the vehicle becomes a
road maker rather than a road-destroyer
Imagine the effect of a wagon loaded
with lumber coming down mountain
grade, each wheel having ii tire six inches
wide and the hind axle long enough so
that the hind wheels did not run in the
same rut that the fore wheels did This
would mash down and harden a road
as though Il big roller had gone over it.
In Canada rOad-builderS claim that il is
folly to repair roads only once year in
spring, as we do in California but that
the roads should be kept in repair all
through the year. Some experiments
with wide and narrow tires show that

The annual business meeting of the
Baptist Society was held at the church
last week Thursday afternoon when the
bills for repairs were audited. 1t was
ascertained that over two thousand dol
lars had been expended upon the annex
and inside of the church. all of which
but about $500 has been paid. A COM
mittee, consisting of Hon. Samuel j.
Gardner, f. j. Pettibone, Esq, and Hon.
Henry W. Myers were appointed tn So
licit the balance by subscription and 1t is
expected that soon this debt will
be liquidated. The society expressed
their sincere thanks and heartfelt graft
tude by vote 10 Byron II. Elwood of Fort
Plain, Montgomery County. N. Y, for
the gift of beautiful pulpit, Bible
stand AND bouquet stand, each in walnet
and very fine indeed. The gift by Mr..
Ewood as memorial for his loving
and devoted wife. formerly Jessie L.
Birmingham, who died about four years
since. Mrs Elwood was truly one of the
greatest favorites this place ever had,
being of an effectiOnate disposition,
cheerful by nature aud withal inter
esting and charming. Here in Pow
nal, she spent her childhood days
and most of her girlhood, save while at
tending school at Albany, N. T., and
her womanhood until her marriage.
Her fond and doting husband, though
sorrowing and mourning her untimely
departure and ever irIeparable loss, could
not have performed \ more graceful and
appropriate act to aid in keeping alive
and fresh and green in the minds and
in the hearts of the good people of Pow
nal the memory and the name Of his pure,
loving and excellent wife, Jessie Louise
Birmingham.
