Old English 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 is 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 IL
O'Clock, and as the hour strikes, the outer
door is opened and with great formality
they let ont the old and let in the
new. The "mummers" or 'guisers"
play an important part in the celebra-
ton of New Year S in Scotland. All the
boys in the village who can sing prac-
tice 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 on plays some curious prank.
They receive in return small pieces of
money.

Juggling with Figures.

The popularity of tho date of 1896 is
its involved connection with the digit B.
AS that number is regarded by those
who hold superstitious belief as a 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. 1 will usher in an
suspicious season of material and finan-
cial prosperity.
The number 1896 is equally Invisible
by 8. So is the sum of its digits, plus
8 plus 0 plus 6 (and the reverse is nee
essarily the same) equaling "a, which,
again united, 3 plus A, equals 6. Sepa-
rating its hundreds from the tens, 18
and 90 or 81 and SO, they are still null
tiples of 3. The sum of the first and
last digits, plus 6, equals 7. Added to
the two middle figures they produce SO,
which is the last two units of the date,
being equally divisible by 8, as is its
sum, 0 plus @, equals 10.
The centuries IS are divisible wholly
by 8, @ and 8; the number reversed 81,
by 8 and by 3, by the product of these
two numbers 60 multiplied by 81 81,
and the sum Of the digits, plus s,
equals 0. The sum of the first two fig
ures in the date, represented as digits,
equals the third. Eighteen plus SO
equals Ia, and 90 minus IS equals rs,
over which the mystic has full con-
troll, as it does over the sum Of the digits
in these latter numbers, plus plus
a equals 6, and plus 8 equals 10.
And Is minus 6 equals 8, while 10 plus
@ equals 81, the sum Of whose digits,
2 plus 1, equals 8. The product of the
digits in the year, multiplied by by
8 by 6, equals 432, multiple of 3, and
the sum of the unit figures. plus
plus 2 is 8. Eighteen minus equals 8,
and o minus 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
the number itself is common multiple.
For instance the numbers 261 equals 81
and BAL equals 12) must necessarily
be equally divisible by the mysterious
factor 3. ALBERT p. SoUTHwICK.

Not Meroenarv.

The slur that ministers are mercenary
is shallow and ignorant. The men who
make it betray their skepticism of human
nature, not their knowledge of the facts.
It is as it should be. There is no class
of men who care SO little for money as
ministers of the gospel And while they
must have enough to support their
households they show by their unselfsh
desire for usefulness and the way that
they spend their surplus that they are
living primarily for the things that en-
rich character and add to its resources,
and not for the qualifications that move
the masses Of mankind. Watchman.
