2A Nazareth the beginning of the
ny year has been variously fixed
at Dec. %, the anniversary of
his birth; Jan. /. the anniversary Of
his circumcision; March %, the arni-
versary of his conception, and On
Easter Sunday. In the British isles
the date most preferred was Dec. 25,
and 1t was not until after Hastings
that the present day was chosen. Will
liam the Conqueror was crowned on
Jan. i; whether because he honestly
deemed the date, which was then in
use in Normandy, the most convenient,
or whether he wished to thus signalize
his victory, the day was then first
used, and has since been used.
The day is set aside for feasting and
merriment all over the Christian
world. 1t is said that in Paris over
$150,000 is spent on sweetmeats alone,
while 1t is far from uncommon for
man to expend on one New Years pres

Origin of the Annual Lcvees mt the
White House.


White House.
AYEw YEARS day has been,
I'M from the foundation of the
II u nation, the occasion of n re-
ceptIon by the president Of
the Ufdted States. Before the seat of
government was moved to Washington
New Years receptions were among the
presidential levees of Washington and
Adams, and these have been regularly
held since. They have always been at
tended by the diplomatic corps. cabi-
net officers, members of congress and
citizens. Sometimes much ceremony
was observed and at others there has
been no ceremony other than simple
presentation. this act being performed
Tor many years by the incumbents of
the office of superintendent of public
buildings or the marshal of the Dis
frict. The first reception in Washing
ton, New Years day of 1901, was held
by President and Mrs. Adams, and,
though the east room of the executive
mansion was unfinished and another
room was used. it is stated that all
the formality and etiquette of royalty
were observed. During the term Of
President jefferson his daughters
spent one season with him. and. put
ting aside the etiquette and formality
Of his predecessors, he abolished the
leyees, with the exception Of those on
New Years day and the Fourth Of Jul
ly. Callers were shown to long tables.

ed. and 1t is said the market bills made
were '.over $50 for each occasion"
During the administration of Mr..
Madison. though the country was In
the throes of war. the New Years re-
ceptions were held. at which Mrs.
Dolly Madison was the principal figure.
Some of them. while the executive
mansion was being rebuilt after the
burning, We're held at the Octagon

cialiy on New Years day. were the
features of Washington life. The
terms of Mr.. Monroe We're 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 house,. much of the previous
good feeling was absent, yet it was {
social success due TO the tact OF Mrs
Adams. for she not only kept up thu
evening levees and New Years recep
tions, bat attended TO providing thu
refreshments served and presided owe
the frequent dinners. She tactfully
avoided all subjects of controversy.
In the term of.Andrew Jackson the
old custom of holding New Years re

ing the hostess. and the general, In
order to keep up the hospitality tc
which he had been accustomed, had tc

NEW YEARS AT YOUNGSTOWN, 1871.
Greeks, on down through the Romans
and the Germans, of eating on this day
a species of sacrifice cake known as
God cakes-small, triangular buns half
an inch thick and filed with mince-
meat, while the famous Boxing day,
with it's attendant custom of stephen
ing" are all through the isles the chief
event of the rural year.
Americans, in spite of the fact that
the day is less distinguished than
Christmas day, owe many of their
choicest privileges to events which
transpired ON New Years day, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t was on the
LIST of January, 17I6, that Washington
unfurled at Cambridge, Mass, the first
Federal flag, the original emblem with
thirteen stars. In ITO the first Soci-
ETY. of Universalists met at Gloucester,
Mass, and Major General Benjamin
Lincoln, commanding the Continental
forces in the south, established his first
post at Purysbury, on the Savannah
river. In 1871 occurred the mutiny at
Morristown, N. j., the most formidable
movement Of its kind in the military
annals of the nation. Some 1000 of
the New Jersey troops of the line. an
gered by the repeated negligence OF
congress, grounded their arms and re-
fused to fight until some further provi-
sion could be guaranteed toward their
maintenance and pay. 1t was indeed
crisis in the conflict, as the outcome of
this bold move must either intimidate
or encourage the entire army, all of
whom were suffering from much the
same causes as their brethren from
New Jersey. General Wayne saw at
once that it was not for him to person.
ally deal with this question and sent
Colonels. Stewart and Butler to inter-
cede. These officers conferred with
the ringleaders at Princeton, and while
the conference was on General Clinton
sent two British officers to coax the
mutineers over TO the other service.
The prompt manner in which the mill
tia handed the interloperS over to
Washington had much to do with the
speedy compliance of congress with
their Just demands. 1t was a happy
turn in most embarrassing affair.
On New Years day. 1915, during the
second day of the battle below New
Orleans, the British made the most
determined of their three assaults and
lost the flower of their army. From
this day until 1862, from some strange
freak of fate. which seems to bunch
her important events on certain days,
few things of note occurred. But in
1862, the second and most critical year
of the civil war, congress enacted some
thing which will forever be memorable
to many political economists-the sus-
pension of specie payment until further
notice Just how such "A huge machine
managed 10 exist until New Yeass day,
1879, when specie payment was re-
sumed, will be matter of endless COM
ment among the economists of the fur
ture.

to be at home to 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 8
o'clock in the morning. In the cities
more than a hundred visits are often
made on New Years day, and there
are always ONE callers who continue
their visits on the two following days,
though women are not required TO re-
main In to eceive callers on the days
following New Years day. Up to a few
years ago it 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 large falling off in recent years
in the number OF hostesses who offer
intoxicating liquors TO visitors.
Among ri al village bellies and even
young leaders of Freneh-Canadia city
life there Is much rivalry as to 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 to by the rule which per-
mits the callers to kiss all the young
women 10 whom they are related In
even the most distant manner. Inter
marriage is marked characteristic
OF French Canadian society and the
circle of rela Ionship 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 paternelle = the blessing OF the
children of the household by their
father. Sometimes thts ceremony is
performed after the return home of the
family from the mass of the day in the
parish church, In other households, IL
is made the first experience of the new
year.

MONUMENT TO THE SPIRIT
OF THE CONFEDERACY

An occasion which will bring together
many Daughters Of the Confederacy
from Southern States will be the unveil-
ing of the monument 1.-The Spirit of the
Confederacy." which Is to be erected In
front of the Mount Royal entrance to
Druid Hill Park in Baltimore. The I'M
yelling will take place some time in No
vember. 1t is to be magnificent tribute
of Maryland to Maryland Confederates
and will mark an important epoch in the
history of the undertakings of the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy. as it Is the first
monument that embodies the spirit OF
the Confederacy. though so many have
been erected to individuals OF the Lost
Cause. The monument Is thus described:
las a portrayal Of grace and beauty In
the very highest degree the statue Is said
by those who have seen 1t, to be admira-
BILE. The Confederacy and its Lost Cause
are symbolized in the young soldier. From
the sky descends the spirit of the Con-
federacy in the shape of a splendid and
perfect woman, winged and with draper
les indicating by their motion the impact
of her feet on the earth. She bears aloft
the crown Of glory for the vanquished,
the glorious wreath which represents the
love of the country for those who fought
in what they believed to be a war of de-
tense. She is thus symbol of victory,
the victory of the vanquished. But she
IL also the Valkyr visiting the battlefield
to hear away with her the soul of the
brave who falls, and 1t is in this view
of the subject as a theme for sculpture
that the power and the novelty of the
sculptors effort reside. The woman has
in her face the calmness of the gods
but in her gesture that sympathy that is
more human than god-like. The sculptor
has tried to blend in her the superior
being. the consoling and uplifting force
with that sympathy of womanhood fol-
those In distress which Is the more mod
ern view of higher order OF things.
1.-The wings. the wide gesture, and grand
movement of the spirit carry the mino
upward from ordinary earthly ideas. and
then the chords of pity are struck by the
figure of the youth, still handsome In
death, who will never be seen again. and
whose fate will be mourned by thousands
The only change that will be made In the
original clay model, Is that the dead hero
shall clutch in his right hand a shat
tered battlefag instead of a broken mus,
ket. The statue will be in bronze"
1t is a matter of interest that the de
sign for this monument was the idea OF

CLOUD HOUSE BURNED
RESIDENCE ON UPPER WETUM-
PKA ROAD DESTROYED.
White Family Had Just Moved from
Place and Fire Believed to
Have Been Work of
Incendiary.

Fire destroyed five-room cottage and
barn. the property of Mrs. N. B. Cloud. at
$3.50 last night. on the Upper Wctumpka
Road, about two miles from Montgom-
cry.
The owner of the house suspects that
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
Mrs. Cloud and her family recently va
Gated the house and moved into a new
residence about 200 yards further down
the road. Their household goods are in
the new house. The old property was
left in charge of some negroes until 1t
could be rented.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
inmates were either asleep or sitting
around the house and the alarm of fire
alone brought them out. In a few mo-
ments the house was in a blaze. A slight
breeze was blowing toward the south and
the flames were waited to the barn. The
hay caught and the fire was consuming
the barn in a few moments. The out
houses caught and added to the blaze
The skies were lit up for some time.
The Montgomery Fire Department was
called. but went no further than the
cemetery bridge.
The neighbor5 rendered all the assist
ance possible, but were unable to stop
the flames. After four hours of burning,
the flames died out.
The fire appears to have originated on
the west side of the house, near the front.
No lamp was overturned or any other
reason given for the fire.
