scheme through that you know Is leglt-
Innate; you always have certain kind
Of good luck that does not seem to
come to others; you may apparently be
on the brink of a financial precipice
and just ready to tumble over, yet
something will turn in your favor and
pull you through all right.

Paul g., Chicago.

You have the zodiacal sign Taurus,
which Venus rules, rising at your birth,
and therefore Venus is your ruling
planet or signihcator. The sign Taurus
usually denotes person with short,
but full, strong and well-set stature;
broad forehead; dark, curly hair; dark
complexion; broad full chest and
shoulders; short thick neck; wide nose;
full, pouting lips; you will have
habit of shaking your head sideways
when talking earnestly. You are very
quiet, peaceable and patient in your
disposition, have great love for the
beautiful in art and nature; you are
very fond of the fine arts, such as
music, painting, drawing, sketching,
etc. You are fond Of good living and
generally manage to get It; you are
subject to attacks of the blues without
any apparent good cause. You seldom
lose control of your temper, yet when
you do you become furious. You dis
like to change your business or loca-
ton and have great love for home and
its pleasant surroundings.

little resembles the harmonious and
venerable mother tongue. This dialect
in its varieties is by no means the mod
ern Greek, which is beautiful and
very expressive language, rich in con-
6tructions, possessing a grammar, and
also a vocabulary, almost as extensive
as that of the ancient Greek. The Ray
ah dialects on the other hand are cor
rupt patois formed with words borrow
ed from Turkish, Hebrew, Armenian,
Italian and French.
Nor does the costume Of the Kayaks
resemble the true Hellenic dress, but
rather that Of the Mohammedans.
The ignorance, debasement and slug
gishness Of the Kayaks are extreme,
Notwithstanding the efforts Of the
Greek government to supply them with
educational institutions, in the hope
that they may rise against their OPP
pressors and succeed in shaking or
their yoke. But it is likely to be long
before these descendants of noble
race shall appreciate the philanthropic
efforts Of their freed brethren.
At present they have adopted near
ly all the Turkish fashions, and lack
ambition to improve their condition.
They are fond of their ease, love drink
ing and smoking, and care for nothing
beyond their material welfare.
Still they have remained faithful to
their religion nevertheless; and follow
all its rites with a respectful and blind
ly superstitious obedience. They OBJ
serve all the holidays Of the church, but
prefer above all st. Basils day.
Popular tradition represents st. Ba-
sill as a venerable man, clad in bishops
vestments, carrying incense, myrrh
and other Oriental perfumes. He is
supposed to come on the eve of his
birthday, reputed as January LIST old
style-January 18th according to the
Oaegorian calendar-and distribute
presents to children. He is the patron
saint of the home and of the young.

5 AN ORIENTAL new YEARS. ;

New Years day in part of the Turk
ish Orient is the gayest holiday of the
year, for 1t is also the day of st. Ba-
sil's festival. The celebration Of the
two feasts has become inseparable, so
to speak, in the minds Of the Greeks,
and the first Of January is now known
throughout the Levant as st. Basils
day.
But it is the Greek Church only
which honors the saint on that date;
the Latin Church observes simply his
ordination day, some time in June,
while the other Christian denomina-
lions have for him merely the same
reverence as for the principal Greek
Fathers, such as st. Chrysostom, st.
Gregory Nazianzen, etc.
The Russians, though following the
same ritual as the Greeks, hold no par
ticular celebration on New Years day
in honor Of st. Basil: and the true
Hellenes, those who live on Greek ter
ritory, seldom give Importance to a
saints feast on January first. So st.
Basil's birthday is distinctly celebrat-
ed only by the Greeks who dwell on
Turkish territory and are subjects of
the sultan.
They are known as Greek Kayaks.
OF their fatherland they have preserv7
ed nothing, save the religion and an
impure dialect, which varies more or
less in every vilayet, or province, and

sugar, and It's flavorlng is of certain
spices. 1t is usually made very rich,
SO that 1t may keep soft for days after
it Is baked.
Housekeepers dread the task, for a
large quantity Of st. Basils cake is
made in each family. A large part of
1t Is destined for the hospitals, the
children's and orphans asylums, the
prisons and the poor; another part is
given away to callers, to servants and
to the boys who come round in the ear
ly evening to sing st. Basil's song.
New Years eve is great time for
the Rayah boys. AS soon as they ring
the bell Of house the door is thrown
open and the voice Of the master Is
heard, saying;
Let the boys in at once! Give them
money, fruit. and all that they can
carry of st. Basil's cake. Come on,
servants, fill their pockets while they
give us their song"
Then the poor children, delighted by
the warm welcome Of the host and the
profusiOn Of dainty things given them,
sing with frenzy the romantic little tale
of st. Basil, which ends with the call
ing down Of numerous blessings on the
generous family during the new year.
But the strangest thing of all is
neither st, Basil's song nor st. Ba-
sils cake; it is a curious mistake as to
date which has prevailed among the
Greek Kayaks for many generations.
For history declares that the LIST day
Of January is not the anniversary of
st. Basil's birth, but that Of his death!

ion, around low, circular pastry
table, and amidst gay stories and
laughter the rolling-pin runs over the
rich paste, while the housewives vie
in decorating and forming the cakes.
The commonest decorations are
Oriental arabesques representing
palms, flowers, shells, or grotesque fig
ures with which to amuse the children.
while the most skilful workers make
dolls whose faces are red eggs firmly
embedded in the paste.
These would seem simple to an
American kS:sekeeper; but in a coun-
try where cooking utensils and baking
ovens are very rude, the undertaking
requires much patience.

Ancient and Modern New Years Festival

Ancient and Modern New Years Festival
The first day (calends) OF January,
as marking the beginning Of the year,
was observed as a public holiday In
Rome from at least the time Of the
Julian reformation Of the calendar.
Ovid alludes to the abstinence from
litigation and strife, the smoking al
tars, the white-robed professions to
the capitol; and later writers describe
the exchanges Of visits, the giving and
receiving Of presents (strenae), the
masquerading, and the feasting with
which the day was in their time cele-
brated throughout the empire. Liba-
MUS &c. 346 A. d. speaks Of 1t as being
In his day the one great holiday COM
mon to all under the Roman rule.
When, about the fifth century, the 25th
Of December had gradually become
axed festival commemorative Of the
nativity, the LIST Of January ultimately
also assumed specially sacred char
acter as the octave Of Christmas day
and as the anniversary Of the circum.
cision Of our Lord, and as such 1t still
figures in the calendars Of the various
branches Of the eastern and Of the
western church, though only az feast
Of subordinate Importance.
