When emerged from my poor en-
vironments. or, as my Lord Lytton
more languidly expresses it, when I
escaped from the dungeon OF my low
estate, my knowledge of and familiar
ity with. the merriment OF the New
Year increased; for, from being the
mere spectator that i had been, I be-
came at last an actor therein. Several
years must be supposed to have
elapsed before this good fortune came
to me, and the scene to have shifted
from the little corner store, where I
first met his jovial majesty, the New
Year, to the comfortable dwellings of
certain friends whose acquaintance I
had made In the interim, and to whom,
accompanied by other friends, now
made an annual pilgrimage. We were
young fellows. most Of us, and all good
walkers, is we had need to be, since
many of these shrines were far apart,
not easily reached, as they would be
now by horse cars, electric cars or ele-
waited roads, and sheltered In the silent
security Of pleasant streets. We met
in the forenoon in the rooms Of one an
other, A, b and G, say, at the room Of
y, and each producing the names and
residences of those whom he intended
to visit, we discussed the order in
which our visits should be made, or, as
we put 1t, planned the days campaign.
This settled, we started, arm-in-arnl, II
the sidewalks were wide enough to
permit Of marching four abreast, or
tandem, IL they were too narrow for
that, tramping elong in the cold wind,
which soon brought a glow to each
cheek and humming, 1t may be, the air
OF some popular melody.
New Years day, beyond all others in
the twelve months, was ladies' day,
and IT was to the ladies, and not the
gentlemen Of the house, that we paid
our Visits and our respects-to their
wives and daughters. their mothers
and sisters, their aunts and nieces, and
all their w0manhood. They expected
us, and awere waiting for US, clad in
their most blooming frocks and laces

time poets declared, beauteous with

A Washington Pug which Can say.
Is One Word.
Perhaps the most intelligent dog in
Washington was owned by Mr.. Kot-
zebue, the Russian minister. tits an
Esquimau, descendant Of the famous
dogs owned by Lieut.. Peary. It got a
fall Inst spring which resulted in q
slight lameness. The dog was placed
on a soft mattress and tended with the
most loving care.
B The injury was such small affair
that the physician began to wonder ut
the~sloWness Of the recovery. After a
few days he could find nothing wrong
with the creature, who had good APP
petite and was apparently well, only
he refused to rise from his couch and
walk. AT last the physician made up
his mind that 1t was a deliberate case
of sham, that the dog enjoyed the care
he got as an invalid 30 much that he
was loath to go back to his old life.
So, one day, his doctor put him on his
feet, spoke sharply to him and con-
graduated himself ON the conclusion
he had come to when he saw the ami
NAL walk of with the utmost ease.
Washington Is the home Of another
wonder in the shape OF a dog. 1t is a
pug owned by Miss Ellis. One is al
most afrnid to announce what it's chief
accomplishment Ia. but impossible as
it may sound, the actual fact Is the
