NJ. PiaZzi, the Sicilian scientist. NJ.
Piazzi, true to the love of mythology
which characterizes his countrymen,
named the new planet Ceres, in honor
of the goddess, whom Sieilians hold in
high esteem. They represent her as
being the cause of the vast growths of
grain and as having first introduced the
art of agriculture.
Sicilian sculptors mould her in
watchful attitude, as if guarding their
/ excellent cereals, vegetables and fruits
during their development, and the most
perfect statues of the goddess in ex-
istence are the handiwork of artists
from the Mediterranean island. Ceres
however, as a planet, is of minor i'm

thorities of the time, is very diminu-

COMMERCIAL NEW YEARS

In the commercial world there are
New Years days by the score, and it
is not an unusual thing to find several
concerns in the same building who all
date their correspondence in the usual
form, and according to the recognized
way, but who have different days for
beginning their business year.
These New Years days, however, and
the fact of their variation are the re-
suit, partly, of the nature of the BUSH
ness, and sometimes of the partnership
agreements.

in April, this festival was known and
celebrated.
DRUID FESTIVAL
In Northern Europe the custom of
celebrating the first day of the new
year also antedates all history. It was
an old Druid festival that had been
handed down through the centuries to
be celebrated as a religious anniver-
sary. On this occasion the priests went
into the woods on the last night of the
year to cut mistletoe with a golden
knife. The twigs with their berries
We're then distributed among the peo-
PIE on New Years morning and it was
the popular belief that these gifts, if
worn as an amulet, would preserve it's
wearer against the danger of battle
From this it can be seen that the Gus
tom of observing the first day of the
new year is almost as old as humanity
itself. The customs of wishing each
other happy new year and oS present
ing gifts upon this occasion are almost
as ancient. Both originated with the
Romans, and from that country ex-
tended to other parts of the world.
In the days of Titus Tatius king Of
the SabineS, it was the duty of every
one to dismiss all enmities from his
heart upon this day and to wish all
with whom he came in contact c happy
new year.
At this time it was also customary
to exchange gifts in honor of the day.
but these gifts usually consisted of a
few sprigs of vervain Can aromatic
shrub closely resembling rosemary,
which was gathered in a wood sacred
to Strenia, the goddess of strength
These gifts were called Strenae. or gifts
of strength.
In the course of time this custom
changed and more elaborate remem-
brances took the place of the simple
tribute. At first grapes, honey, figs and
other fruits were presented, but finally
even these presents became too small
to be regarded with favor
