ly Observed.
 This year there will be two celsbra- tions of the Scottish poet Burns birth day The first will be on Thursday night, when the members of Clan Me Leod, in conjunction with the Daugh- ters of Scotia, will fittingly celebrate the event by a banquet, followed by a concert and dance. This celebration will be of a semi-prvate nature and will not in any way interfere with the Caledonian clubs big annual celebra- tion which takes place at Warner hall on January 27, when the great Scot tish prima donna, Annie Grey, and her mother, Mrs. Oglivey Grey will be present, the programme of which ap- pears in another part of this issue. At Clan McLeods celebration on Thurs day night it is expected that fully two hundred will sit down to the banquet, which will be prepared and served by a committee from Victoria lodge, D. O. S. The dishes to be served will be purely Scotch, and it is needless to say that they will be of very tempting nature.
 An invitation has been sent out to all the members asking them to be present at o'clock, at which time the ceremo- nes of the evening will be begun. Chief James Mustarde of Clan Mcleod will preside. After the banquet concert will follow, at which Burns songs and readings will predominate. The we'll known Sctoch reader of this city, John Japp, will be present and recite Burns Tram O Shanter" A dance will follow the concert

ST. DintaH,a DaY.

The 18th of January, which follows
Twelfth day, was in old times jokingly
called st. Distaff's day because the
spinning was supposed to be resumed.
says the Baltimore Sun.
The plowmen, who were not so will
ing to resume their occupations as the
women were theirs, used to set the fax
on fire, in consequence of which the
women would throw pals of water up,
on them.
In early days ladies of high degree,
as we'll as farmers wives and daugh'
tiers, were accustomed to handle the dis
taft and spindle, and the latter were
the emblems of womanhood. The fol
lowing little stanza is appropriate tc
the season:
Partly work and partly play
You must work on st. Distaffs day.
From the pillow soon free your team,
Then come home and fother them.
II the maids a-spinning go,
Burn the fax and FIRE the tow.
Bring in pals Of water then;
Let the maids bewAsh the men;
Give st. Distaf all the right.
