NEW YEARS ABROAD.
How the American Citizen In Foreign
Lands Observes the Day.

How the American Citizen In Foreign
Lands Observes the Day.
The American abroad sticks to the
old time observance of New Years with
assiduity. This is due probably more to
desire to be in harmony with the GUS
toms Of the country of his temporary
abode than to pay any special honor to
his native country. The American col
onies in London, Berlin and Paris make
the first day of the year the occasion for
an elaborate interchange Of visits that
not only include Americans in the list,
but also all the notable residents with
whom they may be on calling terms. In
these capitals, of course, utmost formal
tiles are observed, and the functions of
the day, if zealously carried ont, as
they generally are, call for a consider
able display of staying" qualities.
When the American ambassador keeps
open house, naturally the chief inter-
est centers about his establishment.
When the patriotic and pleasant duty of
visiting him has been accomplished,
then the people settle down to IA vigorous
pursuit of each other, striving as far as
possible to be at two or more places at
once. This is especially noticeable in
Paris where the American custom is
modelled closely On that which obtains
in official circles. Paris gives itself up
completely to calls on this day, and
they are regulated by the most exact
rules Of procedure. Every man is ex-
pectcd to call first on the superior next
above him and then to hurry home to
receive the inferior next beneath him.

CHANGING THE CALENDAR.
How Our Almanacs Are Kept In Accord
With the Clock In the Sky.

How Our Almanacs Are Kept In Accord
With the Clock In the Sky.
Jan. is not comparable as public
holiday with Christmas as to the uni
versatility or antiquity of it's observance.
Before 1862 the year began on March
%. The change in the calendar was
made in that year for Great Britain by
an act of parliament, and we inherited
the existing custom of marking the be-
ginning of the year from the mother
country, The day was not observed in
colonial times with the formality which
has marked its observance in later years.
After the colonies had adjusted business
affairs to the new date, the LIST Of Janu-
airy grew in importance and in course of
time became legal holiday.
An interesting incident of the change
of the calendar in 1852 was the drop
ping of II days, between Sept" and
IA, giving that month only 10 days, to
bring the English into harmony with
the Gregorian calendar. The omission
of the II days attracted great interest,
and long notice of the proposed innova-
tion was given in the newspapers of the
period, so that business affairs could be
accommodated to what was called the
'new style" The act of parliament cor
recting the calendar also ordained that
the years 1900, 1900, 2100, 1900, $500
or any hundredth year, except only
every fourth hundredth, shall not be
deemed leap years, but shall be consid-
cred common years of 800 days only and
that the years 5000, 24O0, $500 and
every fourth hundredth shall be leap
years, consisting of 1865 days.
Every year whose number is divisible
by four is leap year, except only when
the number ends with 90, in which case
it is leap year only when the preceding
figures are divisible by four. By this
rule the year 1900 will not be leap
year, while the year 1000 will be. By
this ingenious arrangement, says a
writer "our almanacs are kept in har
mony as nearly as may be with the great
clock of the skies, the only perfect time
piece" All the old colonial literature
for some time after the change referred
to gave dates under both the old and
new styles to prevent confusion. --Phila-
delphia Ledger.

In the hospital. They are unfortunate
people, but very honest, I can assure
you. The little girl told me to find q
purchaser for that old doll She fan
cied, poor thing, that she would get 10
cents for 1t. l never thought | could
sell it. You say 100 francs?"
81 said 100 francs, and 1 have just
finished counting out the amount, and
here it is. " And the marshal placed 20
franc pieces on the little counter of
the shop. The dealer wrapped the doll
in paper and presented it to him. with
many thanks and benedictions in the
name of the family.
Without paying much attention to
him Castelane left the shop and re-
turned to the old house with the inten-
ton of leaving the doll at the door for
little Marie But the latter, whose i'm
patience had been sharpened by want,
had already returned to the dealer.
What was her joy when he told her the
good luck that had come to her She
received the money and came back to
the house as fast as she could run. She
accomplished the journey with such
haste that she overlook the marshal at
the door of the garnet
"Ah, it was you'll" she cried just as
she found him in the act of placing the
little package at the door of the humble
lodging, and in an outburst of gratitude
the lutte thing threw her arms around
the neck of her benefactor and kissed
him.
When the good hearted Castellane
afterward told this little story, he add
ed:
"Never in my life did get kiss
that went to my heart like that"
