Hard on the Old Man.

There are divers manners of forming
resolutions for the new year that are
always put into practice, and all have
their devotees. even if the turning over
of a brand new leaf only lasts a week.
There is one system of starting the
new year, however, that has lost at
least one devotee for all time in New
Orleans. About 2 o'clock last New
Years morning, after the usual usher
ing in of the new year and as the fam
lily was about to retire, the head of the
house told of an old custom that was
in vogue when he was boy. He ex-
planned that in his boyhood everybody
would open the Bible at random on the
first of the year and the first text his
eye should rest on would be a guide
for his conduct during the coming year.
The custom found ready acceptance,
and one young hopeful produced Il
Bible, and, letting it fall open, his fin
ger fell on the following text from
Zechariah, chapter i, 2: "The Lord
hath been sore displeased with your
fathers" 1t is needless to say that no
other member of the family was coaXed
to try the old custom.-New Orleans
S-Democrat.

The Egyptian year began with the
rising of the star Sirius and consisted
of 365 days. There We're II months
of 30 days each, and at the close of the
year five days were intercalated All
reckoning was by this year; the festi-
walls were celebrated by it, and as a
consequence like the Roman festivals
of later times, circled around from one
season to another on account of the
omission from the calendar of the
quarter day Notwithstanding this
omission the Egyptians seemed to have
known that the addition of quarter
of day each year was necessary in
order to keep correct measurement
of time, which they called their 80
thiac cycle" This cycle was a period
of 1,461 vague or 1,460 true years, and
was called "Sothiac" because it's begin
ming was fixed at date when the dog
star, known by the Egyptians as So
this, rose with the sun on the 1st
Thoth, which was the commencement
of their year. This rising of Sirius and
the sun on the 1st of Thoth took
place in the years b. c. 27S2 and b. G..
1929 and also in 1873 A. ID.

COUNTING THE TAPS.

The practice of using visiting cards
has been known among the Chinese for
thousands Of years The Chinese New
Years card is curiosity to the occl-
dental, for its mystic characters set
forth not only the name but all the I'll
ties, of the owner, and, as every China
man who Is anybody at all has a dozen
or two, the card assumes the form and
something Of the dimensions of n wall
map. When sent to an acquaintance,
however, this valuable token, made
either of fine paper backed with cloth,
or of silk, is not retained, but is re-
turned by special messenger, and the
day after New Years the spectacle of
crowds of servants, their arms full of
Polls of paper or cloth, hurrying to and
Pfro in the streets, is too common to
excite remark. They are not on their
way to school of geography. They
are only returning New Years cards.
Whole volumes have been filled with
the novelties of New Years customs
and the usages which in different parts
of the world characterize the day. In
Persia colored eggs are sent as pres
ents, as with us at Easter. Through
out all Europe the wassail cup, in one
form or another, is feature of the
day. In old times one cup of gigantic
size served the entire company, and
when a man rose and took the huge
vessel in both hands to drink to the
guests a trusted friend rose with him
and with drawn sword stood by his
side lest he should be traitorously stab
bed in the breast while drinking. In
France the New Years day CORE
spends pretty closely in its social OBJ
servance to our Christmas. In Russia
at every country house there are pro
cesson and feast in honor of the day,
horses, cows, sheep and hogs being
gayly dressed with garlands and led to
the landlords house. An essential part
of the programme is that the animals
shall be taken into the dining room
but when the landlord does not care to
have nice apartment spoiled by this
human and beastly procession he fits
up large room on the ground floor
with tables and benches.
