Jugrling wien Flxures.

The popularity Of the date of 1896 is
its involved connection with the digit 3.
As that number is regarded by those
who hold superstitious belief as pro-
verbally lucky one, from its association
with certain Biblical events, it is to be
hoped that the coming annual cycle may
prove this one particular theory to be
true, and that Jan. will usher in am
suspicious season Of material and fnan-
cial prosperity.
The number 1896 is equally Invisible
by 8. So is the sum of its digits, plus
8 plus plus 6 (and the reverse is nee
essarily the same) equalipg "a. which,
again united. Q plus 4, equals 8. Sepa-
rating its hundreds from the tens. la
and 90 or 81 and 60. they are still null
tiples of 3. The sum Of the first and
last digits, plus 8, equals z. Added to
the two middle figures they produce 90,
which is the last two units Of the date,
being equally divtsible by 3. as is its
sum, 0 plus 0, equals 10.
The centuries Is are Invisible wholly
by 8, 8 and s.; the number reversed, 81.
by 0 and by 8, by the product Of these
two numbers 20 multiplied by 81 "a,
and the sum Of the digits, / plus s,
equals 8. The sum Of the first two fig
ures in the date, represented as digits,
equals the third. Eighteen plus 90
equals lid, and 90 minus Is equals rs,
over which the mystic 8 has full con-
troll. as is does over the gum Of the digits
in these latter numbers. plus plus
4 equals 8, and 2 plus 8 equals Is.
And 10 minus equals o. while Is plus
Q equals 81, the sum of whose digits,
. plus J., equals 8. The product of the
digits in the year. multiplied by by
9 by 9, equals 432. multiple Of Q, and
the sum Of the unit figures. plus Q
plus 2 is Q. Eighteen minus equals 0,
and 0 minus 9 equals 3.
From this can be derived the infalli-
BILE rule that when the sum Of the digits
Of any number is equally divisible by 3
the number itself is common multiple.
For instance the numbers 28l equals o.
and S44i equals l2) must necessarily
be equally diyisibls by the mysterious
factor 3. ALBERT p. SoUTHwIcK.

old I:nxli.h New Years Customs.

There is one ceremony common to
England and Scotland which is some
times observed in the United States on
New Years eve--that il the ringing Of
the bells to announce the death of the
old year and the birth of the new. In
many churches an impressive service is
held at the hour of midnight. Another
English custom is the one Of sitting up
on the last night Of the year till l2
O'Clock, and as the hour strikes. the outer
door Is opened and with great formalty
they 'let out the old and let in the

play an important part In the celebra-
tion Of New Years in Scotland. All the
boys in the village who can sing prac-
tiee songs for the occasion, and ON the
important night they borrow old shirts
FROM their fathers and cut out brown
paper miters. from which hang masks
that conceal their faces. Each guiser is
accompanied by squire dressed as a
girl, who goes before him TO open the
door when he sings. While the song is
in progress she sweeps the floor with a
broomstick or plays some curious prank.
They receive in return small pieces Of
money.

This tendency viii doubtless be greatly

when the women, who constitute con.

Why

Acontemporary complains that by the
proposed suffrage bill in Massachusetts,
the ballot is to be given to all kinds of
women, those who have material inter
ests and those who have none, those
who are intelligent and those who are
not. those who have character and those
who have none. But why is 1t any more
wrong or dangerous to give the ballot TO
all kinds of women than to all kinds Of
men? If the ballot is to be restricted to
perfect women, let as also restrict 1t to

Time was when 1t was considered a
sure sign Of death before the next New
Year to see your own shadow in the
moonlight on the LIST Of January.
January is still called by the old Gel
tic name-Juis Genver, the cold month
lin Cornwall, England. The Saxons
called it Wolf Monat, because the wolves
were unusually ravenous in January. By
the Saxon it was termed Aefer-Yule.
Pins were invented in the sixteenth
century at Gloucester, England They

purchase, called "pin money" was
given instead.
In the days Of our European forbears
it was believed that unless misfortune
were courted no one should leave the
house ON New Years day till some one
had entered, and the visitor to bring
fine brand Of good luck should be a dark
haired man.
Black cats. generally thought to be of
extremely evil omen by the supersti-
tious, are considered lucky visitors on
New Years day.
In Wales fires are frequently burned
on Jan. to purify the house for the en-
trance of the new year and the ashes of
these fires are often kept most sacredly
from year to year. They are supposed to
possess special medicinal virtues, being
particularly efficacious against falling
