An Aneeao.e Of the old.n Time.

In the time of Charles of England
court jester was eleverly outwitted by
a nobleman, who had, according to tho
custom of the day, presented the jester
with sum Of money.
On New Years morning the jester
came into the presence of the noble
man. and received, as he expected, a
number of gold pieces. He thought he
had not been given enough, so he
tossed them in his hand, muttering
that they were light. The nobleman
saw this, and said: "Prithee, Archy,
let me see them again; and, by the
way, there is one of them | would be-
loath to part with"
Naturally enough, perhaps, Archy
thought more coins were to be added
to his store, so he willingly returned
them to his lordship. But the noble
man put them into his pocket. saying,
Il once gave my money into the hands
OF a fool who hadn't the wit to keep
it."-Philadelphia Record.

The Scottish HOgmany.

A satisfactory explanation of the
term ''hogmany," used by the Scots to
designate the last day of the old year,
has never yet been given, but there are
two suggestions which are quite plaus-
ible. One is that the term "hogmany"
is derived from ''hogenot" or ''hogg
night, the Scandinavian name for the
night preceding the feast of yule, when
animals were sacrificed. the word
"hogg" meaning to kill. The other de-
riyation is from the French, ''au que
menez," to the mistletoe 60" refer
ring to the Druids' custom on New
Years eve of collecting the mistletoe
from the oaks, and after consecrating
it distributing it among the people of
the Gauls, by whom it was priced be-
cause of the many virtues ascribed to
it.-Exchange.

Decline OF a Pretty Custom,

The practice of having ladies' call
ing day upon the second day of the
year is going out of fashion. il 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 tolerence alone that the sterner sex
was enabled to travel by car or stage.
II is pity that ladies day has de.
clined, for there was a perfect pano.
rama of beauty to be seen when the
fair creatures. cardcases in hand and
dressed in their handsomest and most
becoming costumes. and generally
travelling in groups of two. three and
four, abounded everywhere. The air
was filed with their pleasant small
talk. and they looked very animated
and interesting. Selected.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.
A Resolve to Do Better Is a Step In
the Right Direction.

the Right Direction.
1t is true. very possibly. that only
one in a million of these resolutions
amounts to anything permanently.
A month. week. day. may see the
end of them. and the old sin or delin-
quency or habit may be in the as
cendant again, sometimes. alas. re-en-
forced 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
temptation; you can not change the
spots in the leopard; that is he, if you
want to change him, you want some.
thing 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.
Yet 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 mott 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 a right exceeding
wrong. and to make determination to
discard the wrong is already one. step
toward embracing the rights in
fact, embracing it's, while being the
resolve, however little way. The re-
solve is the outcome of the best part of
ones nature; the not keeping it is one
weakness only.-Harper's Bazan
