NEW YEARS IN JAPAN.
The Custom of Making Gifts Prevails
Holiday Street Scenes.

The Custom of Making Gifts Prevails.
Holiday Street Scenes.
On New Years day the japanese
tradesmen send their customers small
offerings, usually of something in their
line of business. A grocer will give per-
haps pound of sugar or little pack
age of rice. Every present, large or
small, costly OR inexpensive, is accom-
panied by little folded three cornered
paper few inches in size. Sometimes
this is of crimson or gilt paper or some
times blue or silver, according to the
taste Of the sender.
The origin of this custom is very an
cient and curious. In days Of old piece
of dried fish was sent with each gift,
but gradually people fell into vicious
habit of sending ON the same piece of
fish with the next present they sent
away, as if they received SO many offer
ings they could not possibly eat all the
fish that came Finally matters got to
such a pitch that gentleman could
frequently smell his present coming
around the corner. So in order to do
away with this abuse these little pieces
OF paper were substituted.
Another custom that seems very
strange in cur eyes is that of sending
presents of eatables, sweetmeats, mOchi
OF bean cake, etc. Such dainties are
sent in priceless bowls of cloissone or
eatsuma set on lacquer tray. Over all
is thrown silk and gold embroidered
square of soft ribbed Grape, and the
messenger carries it through the street
held at arm S length. The recipient eats
the contents and without washing or
cleaning the bowl in any way returns
it and the cover with elaborate thanks.
The little shops, which look like dry
goods boxes set upon end, are filled with
gay toys, with dolls, kites and bits of
tinsel and dyed feathers made into tiny
ornaments for the ebony hair of the
brilliantly dressed, powdered and rouged
little girls.
Acrobats and street actors attract
crowds Of not only children, but their
elders Then there are Punch and
Judy shows, but Punch and Judy are
replaced by fabulous cats, badgers and
foxes, who play all sorts of tricks upon
men and women. Conjurers and snake
charmers reap harvest, and the man
who makes and plays bamboo flutes
earns small fortune
Every one from the little tots Of 6 or
2 to grandams of so or 70 plays bat
tledoor and shuttlecock. And such gor-
geous battledoors as were never before
seenl Great, awkward pieces of board,
plain on one side, the other elaborately
decorated with figure of a noted dan

paper pasted ON and standing an inch or
more above the board. The shuttlecock
is gilded seed stuck around with dyed
feathers until it resembles flower

Good Resolutions For the New Year

Let us look over the mistakes of the
bygone days and plan new course of
action for the future. Where we have
been wrong let US now be right, and
where we have been right let US stick
to that course, going from good to bet
ter, from better to best.
A word about the resolutions that will
be made today and broken tomorrow
do not make them at all if you do not
mean to keep them. The promise bears
no weight that is so soon forgotten.
Make the covenant with your conscience
and your Maker. Do not blazon your
righteous sentiments abroad, but with
sober sincerity of purpose watch out
against the faults, making q gallant
fight against the foes of evil.
With such an incentive to inspire you
the new year will gradually become to
you close friend, bringing joy and
= happiness III its path and breathing into
your heart messages that will indeed
make the wishes for happy New Year
materialize in every truth to your own
superabundant satisfaction. n.-Philadel-
phia Times.

Hansell Monday In Scotland.

''Hansell Monday is still familiar
phrase in Scotland, notably in Fife
where old New Years day is still OBJ
served (Jan. 12). To hansell is to bless
or endow or give-a sort of luck penny.
To hansell new article is to wear it on
an auspicious occasion.
Work is hurried over in the morning
and then all take holiday.

NEW YEARS CALLING.
An Old Kniekcr,ocker Custom That Should
Be Pcrpetuated.

While the New Years customs of an
cient times possess for US a certain fas,
cination. we find still more interesting
the celebrations OF the present time
The one that is most characteristic, most
truly American, is the old Knicker-
booker custom of making calls upon
New Years day, and it is to be hoped
that it will be long continued by those
who care to encourage and sustain
whatever is distinctly national and
characteristic among us. 1t is true that
this custom belongs to a time when
making calls had not become daily
business, pursued for want of other oc-
eupation by men and women of leisure
Il is true that it belongs toa time when
men We're too busy to do much visiting
and gladly seized this annual opportu-
nifty of looking up old friends and es-
pecially the busy wives and mothers
they had known as girls and recalling
and recounting the scenes and events of
their youth.
This annual Frightening of the links
of<old friendships is the special function
of New Years calls. The day is put to
very bad use when it is employed in
mere effort to count up long list Of
names Of persons whom one may have
seen yesterday or the day before ard
who have no steady purpose to prevent
them from calling every day of their
lives
Of course one does not want to miss
ones intimates on such day, but there
is not the same object in setting apart a
day for them, and that is the reason
why some modern and fashionable peo-
pie who have travelled relinquish
the custom when they return home to
life based as far as possible on what
they have heard and seen abroad But
this class are not all of American socie-
ty. There are many who represent the
Oldest and best families who cling to
old habits, who do not spend half their
lives abroad, but who are the strength
and honor of the best enterprises and
efforts at home.
Then there are others, busy business
and professional men and women, who
form the largest part of our "best'' So
ciety, who perhaps do the most to for
mulate its habits and perpetuate its GUS
toms, and to these the 1st of January,
as a. day of freedom and devotion to the
social idea, is boon which they well
come apart from its significance and the
desire to perpetuate it as custom
