New Years Superstitions.

"Don't take light out of the house
before one has been brought in, is the
solemn injunction on New Year night
of the peasantry of Lincolnshire, Eng
land. Death is certain to result if this
advice is not followed.
To permit a woman to enter the
house first on New Years day is said
to be a sure forerunner of evil. The
same results are said to follow the
throwing of dirty water, ashes or
any kind of refuse.
In sweeping the house the dust must
be swept from the door to the hearth
or death will be the consequence. A
custom largely observed at present is
after making the fire in the morning
to spread the ashes over the threshold.
If in the morning there is an impress
sion of a foot leading from the house,
a death in that family is so firmly be-
lieved in that preparations are made
for it, but if the footmark leads to-
wards the house a birth during the
year is sure, and preparations are
made accordingly.-N. o. Picayune.

THE ART OF LETTING GO.
To Learn to Be Absolute Master of
Ones Own Mind Is One Of First
Lessons in Life.

We held on to a great many things
last year which we should have let go
shaken off entirely. In the first
place we should expel from our minds
completely the things which cannot
be helped-our past misfortunes, the
trivial occurrences which have morti-
fed or Inundated US. Thinking of
them not only does no good, but it
robs us of peace and comfort. The art
of forgetting useless things is great
one, and we should learn it a any cost
1t is just as important, says Sue
cess, to learn to let go as to hold on.
Anything that cannot help us to get
on and up in the world: anything that
is drag, a stumbling block, or him
drance, should be expunged from our
memory. Many people seem to take a
positive pleasure in recalling past mis-
fortunes, sufferings and failures. They
dwell upon such experiences, and re-
paint the dark pictures until the mind
becomes melancholy and sad. If they
would only learn to drive them out,
and Danish their attempts to return,
as they would Danish thief from the
house, those painful thoughts would
cease to demand entrance. We want
all we can get of sunshine, encourage
ment and inspiration. Life is too
short to dwell upon things which only
hinder our growth. If We keep the
mind filled with bright, hopeful pic
lures, and wholesome thoughts-the
things only which can help us on and
up in the world-we shall make in
finitely greater progress than by
burying ourselves in glowing retro
spection.
One of the first lessons in life is to
learn to be absolute master of ones
own mind, to clear it of it's enemies,
and to keep it clear. A well-trained
mind will never harbor thoughts in
imical to success or happiness. You
have the ability to choose your mind s
company; you can call up at will any
guest you please. Then why not
choose the noblest and best?

BROKEN RESOLUTIONS.
Resolves After Former Failures
a Hea1thfuI and Hopeful Sign.

A New Year possibility, whole
new year! 1t is fresh beginning
time-when all that we failed to do
last year can really be tried again.
The studies of problems, near, or re-
mote, that we thought we should
pursue, the books we meant to read,
the new work we were going to I'M
Gertake, above all, the faults we in
tended to conquer, the virtues we
meant to cultivate, the growth in
character which we both resolved
and failed to acquire, now, we can
take a fresh start and really accom-
plish some vital things, for the new
year is so rich in promise, so full
OF hope so alluring in it's suggestion
of beautiful possibilities! J,
Are we sometime tempted to look
bit cynically at this ever-recurring
tide of hope, of belief in our better
endeavor, and better performance?
Does it sometimes seem mere mock
ery-perhaps hypocrisy-that we
should so regard the New Year? Are
we tempted to say will make no
New Years resolutions to be again
broken and next year again renewed?
II this is our experience, let us
remember, says the Washington
Home Magazine, the very fact that
we have the hope and courage to
make new resolves, after all our fail
ures, is a healthful and hopeful sign.
Some wise teacher has pointed out
~ h. 4 q
In the world is to retain our self
respect sufficiently to retrieve our
selves after mistake or failure. So
long as we keep a clean record we
can go on, although the way may be
hard. But once having failed, the
effect of broken record paralyzes,
and renders it far easier to fall out
by the way than to "about facet"
and start again. Yet one of the
greatest of victories is ours when
realizing and deploring our mistakes,
our manifold sins, negligences and
lgnorances," we yet refuse to simply
sit and moan over them, but re-
solutely rise up, press on, saying:
failed that time, but 1 shall not
| always. 1 can and will learn to be-
more than conqueror through One
who loved us, One whose strength
is in our weakness perfect" leaning
on Him, remembering that true re-
pentance consists not in mere re-
morse but in regret that bears fruit
in new life; we shall find that our
worst failures may become part of
that stepping stone" on which we
rise to higher things.-Washingt

NEW YEARS CALLS.
This Practice of Former Years Might
Become Once More Custom If
Revived by the Children.

AS merry day as Christmas is for
the children, it is usually rather quiet
for the grown people, their principal
occupa ton being to watch the young
folks enjoy themselves. From Christ
mas until New Year, though, the
grown people make up in gayety for
their Sunday-like quiet on the 25th,
but the children have just as much
fun at the same time.
There are more parties at Christmas
time than there are even during the
long summer holidays, and they are
iollier, because the children feel more
energetic and bright and lively with
the cold weather and the happy spirit
of the season. There are SO many
delightful ways to entertain, too; so
many games and things that are only
suitable for indoors.
There is one holiday practice which
has almost passed with history, and
vet it is beautiful one which the chill
dren might do well to revive. 1t is the
old custom of New Years calls. I'm
til few years ago it was the usual
thing for everybody to call on every
body else the first day of the year.
People who had homes opened them
to their friends, and popular people
had steady stream of callers all day
who paid their respects, were served
refreshments and went on their way
to the next friends home. 1t was
all very pleasant, but it has passed
out, although efforts are being made
to renew the practice.
Why should not the children help
in this revival? They have nothing
to do, as a rule, on New Years day, and
they would doubtless find it delight
full to put on their best bib and tucker
and call on all their young friends. 1t
would be a splendid opportunity to
display their new Christmas fnery.
and at the same time extend to their
friends their cordial good wishes for
a happy year. Should the children be-
gin calling, it would be habit with
them and thus as they grow older
New Years calls would become an es-
tablished custom, as it used to be.

NEW YEARS ASPIRATIONS.

Throughout this year of grace begun
May nothing said, or nothing done
By me,
Bring to my face the blush of shame,
Nor bring reproach upon Thy name,
My God and King.
My first allegiance Cue to Thee,
For all 1 am or hope to be,
To Thee I owe;
And may L faithfully discharge
My duties to the world at large,
To friend and. foe.
What others may or may not do,
Let me be ever just and true,
And pay my VOWS.
When truth assailed opposes wrong,
May 1 with purpose firm and strong
The truth espouse.
Then let Thy precepts be my guide,
And let me in Thy love abide,
Come veal or woe;
And may l through the months and days
Acknowledge Thee in all my ways,
Wher'er l go.
But if before its days are done,
That my earthly race have run,
This is my plea,
That my unselfish deeds may last,
My faults, like the forgotten past
May die with me.

SOME FOREIGN CUSTOMS.
New Years the Great Day of the Year
in France-BOys Masters of the
Situation in Russia.

In France New Years day is the
great day of the year. 1t is to the
French child what Christmas is to
the young people of America
day for the giving and receiving of
presents.
In the gloomy old royal palace of
Madrid, also, the first day of the
year is a happy and merry festival.
The queen regent takes care that all,
even to the humblest servants, have
share in the socalled aguinaldos,
or New Years bounties.
But it is in Russia that the boys
find themselves most completely
masters of the situation on New
Years day, says the Youths Com
day of the year is especially the child
ren's festival.
The boys rise with the sun, taking
care to fill their pockets with dried
peas and wheat. Then they go from
house to house in riot of fun. AS
doors are never locked it is easy for
them to effect an entrance. The
dried peas are to be thrown at their
enemies, but the wheat is for their
friends. They sprinkle it upon any
of their friends whom they may be
fortunate enough to find asleep, and
hurl the peas with singing force at
their enemies.
After breakfast the handsomest
horse in the village is brought out,
it's trappings are decorated with
evergreen and berries, and the animal
is led to the house of the nobleman
of the place, followed by the pea and
wheat-shooters of the early morn
ing. The lord admits horse and
guests to his parlor, where all his
family are gathered. This is the
greeting of the peasants, old and
young, to their lord and master. The
origin of the custom is shrouded in
mystery, but it is supposed to date
from very early times.

walked along his beat that
1M night. He was unusually
HNl happy. And why shouldn't
0@ he have been? In two
hours he would be through
with his work and he could then
go home to his family aud stay many
hours, for the next day was his Jay off.
But there were other things which
served to put Ferguson in an amiable
frame of mind. His superior officer,
when he reported for work after sup
per that evening, had complimented
him on his work.
Three arrests in one day isn't so

reassuringly, 'and all of them good
ones, too. Getting colder" he added,
as he buttoned his coat; thankful l
don't have to work tomorrow. It'll be
the first New Years I've spent with
my wife in many moons. Guess I'll
step in and get warmed up bit.
There were several men congregat-
ed in the corner cigar store when Fer
guson entered, and they were earnest
ly discussing some matter of general
interest about that time.
Here's Ferguson now,' said one of
them. "Was it you who arrested Nc
Carthy?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Cause it was a low shanty trick,
that's why. You had no right to do
it in the first place. He wasn't doing
anything, was he?"

torted, angrily. Haven't l instruc-
