he chose for his type OF horse for draft

~HE calendar begps the year on
Jan. l, and Ii Is not strange
that in the beginning OF the
year men should find an au-
curry for the future. Ever since the
reckoning of time began the fortune of
the new years initial day has been re-
garded as in measure Indicative of
what was to come during the twelve
months succeeding. We no longer go
to augurs TO foretell the future-that
is, most of us do MOTOR instead of be-
ing installed In temples and living in
luxury the soothsayers now inhabt
humble quarters in back streets and al
leys. But the vein OF superstition
which runs through the human race Is
bound TO manifest itself In some way.
and, although we are prone 10 regard
ourselves as quite above the foolish
practices of our ancestors, we never
theless, in lingering remnants Of GUS
tom, show that perhaps we are not so
far advanced as we think ourselves.
This desire to peer into the future is
the origin OF not few of the super
stitions which we now openly deride,
with a mental reservation that, per-
haps, after all, it is just barely possible
there may be something In them. In
nearly all countries some form of
divinatlon is practiced. particularly by
the young, on New Years day TO fore
tell the future. The Scottish people
are fond of regarding themselves as
highly Intellectual, but ia this matter
they are as credulous as the peasant
of the Slcll!an mountains. He uses his
beads, but the Scotchman employs his
Bible, which he places back down or
table, permits ii TO fall open Of its
own weight. then, without looking. he
puts his finger on page and reads the
verse on which il rests, and this is
supposed to indicate his fortune for the
year.
The world over cards and dice are in
high favor as being supposed TO indi-
cate the DEGREES of fate. The cards
and the throws are fortunate or the re-
verse in about equal numbers, so that
every one has a fair chance of obtain
ing an omen for good. The actions and
voices OF the animal associates of ran
were formerly on this day above all
others significant of good or evil tn
come. A dogs cheerful bark on New
Years morn was suspicious, his howl
very unfavorable sign. To meet
cat on New Years morning betokens
i'll for the future as, curiously enough.
il is regarded I'm the Latin countries
as the sign Of coming change OF resi-
dence. TO see snake Is the worst
possible omen. for IL signifies death by
violence. A few years ago an Italian
living near Milan saw three snakes
together on New Years morning be-
fore breakfast and was so frightened
that he fell i'll. became respondent and
did actually die. TO see pig is re-
garded throughout soulnern Europe as
fortunate omen, signifying plenty In
the coming twelve months, while the
sight of crow, a magpie or jackdaw,
probably from the thievish propensities
OF these birds. is regarded as a sign
that the beholder viii be systematic

IN REW YEARS is the one day Of
EA3 the year when every French
4 VI Canadian woman is supposed
10 be at home 10 receive visit
ors. More social calls and ceremonious
visits are generally paid by French.
Canadian men on New Years than on
any other day OF the year. In the coun-
try parts of the province Of Quebec this
visiting often begins as early as =
o'clock in the morning. In the cities
more than hundred visits are often
made on New Years day, and there
are always some callers who continue
their visits on the two following days,
though women are not required to re.
main in TO receive callers on the days
following New Years day. Up to few
years ago II was the invariable custom
to offer refreshments, including wine.
at every house where visitors were re-
ceived. Though the old custom is still
observed in many instances there has
been u large falling off in recent years
in the number of hostesses who offer
intoxicating liquors to visitors.
Among rival village bellies and even
young leaders Of FrenchCanadian city
life there is much rivalry as 10 the
number Of calls received by each of
them on New Years day. The popu-
larity of this visiting is no doubt large
ly contributed 10 by the rule which per-
mits the callers to kiss all the young
women To whom they are related in
even the most distant manner. Inter
marriage is n marked characteristic
Of French Canadian society and the
circle of relationship is usually very ex-
tended therefore.
Among other New Years day Gus
toms perpetuated in parts Of French
Canada is that known as la benedic-
ton paternele - the blessing Of the
children Of the household by their
father. Sometimes this ceremony is
performed after the return home of the
family from the mass of the day in the
parish church. In other households, 1t
is made the first experience of the new
year.

by President and Mrs. Adams. and.
though the east room of the executive
mansion was unfinished and another
room was used. ii is stated that all
the Formally and etiquette of royalty
were observed. During the term OF
President Jefferson his daughters

cially on New Years day. were the
features of Washington life. The
terms of Mr. Monroe were regarded as
those of good feeling, and this fact had
much to do with the success of the
social entertainments.
During the following administration,
that of John Quincy Adams elected
by the housel. much of the previous
good feeling was absent. yet it was a
social success due TO the tact of Mrs.
Adams. for she not only kept up the
evening leyees and New Years recep-
tons. but attended to providing the
refreshments served and presided over
the frequent dinners. She tactfully
avoided all subjects of controversy.
