A cur,ous Superstition.

In Scotland there is superstition
that the complexion of the first caller
on New Years day indicates the good
or ill-fortune to befall the house during
the following year. If the caller is a
blonde. the indication is favorable for
good luck; If brunette, the contrary.
So much confidence is placed in the in

A New YEARS. Prayer.

know a little temple.
Its walls are dim and low,
Yet up and down its darkened aisles
The blessed angels go.
And he who keeps the temple
Should pray to God tonight.
That Faith may light the altar flame,
And Hope may keep it bright;
That love may bring the sacrifice
Which Love delights to give.
And all the angels innocent
May tarry there to live.
And may no evil spirit
Have in it place or part.
What is this temple beautifully
The temple of the heart.

SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
Beneficial Results Of Ding|ey Bill
Are Now Being Seen.
Customs Receipts Daily Gaining and Now Ex
coed Expenditures.

Washington, Dec 29.-The forthcom-
ing monthly statement of the govern
ment receipts and expenditures will
show a material increase in the re-
ceipts from both customs and internal
revenue. Today's income from GUS
toms along was $735,617, the highest
figures reached since the new tariff law
went into effect. The receipts from
customs this month probably will ex-
coed those of November by $4,000, OO0
which will leave a surplus for the
month.
Independent of the payments on ac-
count of the Pacific railroad transmer
the total receipts this month would
approximately $L75O.O0O. The returns
from internal revenue sources show a
gratifying increase and it is not I'M
likely that the December statement
will show an excess over November of
81, O0O, 900.
Altogether the situation, SO far as
revenues are concerned is very graf
flying to the treasury officials. who
confidently predict that with the excep-
ton of January, when heavy interest
payments are due, there will be a sur
plus for each remaining month Of the
present fiscal year.
