You Can Trust

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company as you would an old friend.
1t has served three generations OF
men, and during its entire career, COW
ering a period Of sixty-one years, has
never deceived or disappointed a sim
gle policy holder. Among its policy
holders today are Grandfathers, Faith
ers and Sons, and many Of them have
attested their satisfaction In series Of
letters which the Company has pub
lished and which are yours for the
asking. The company is stronger In
the confidence and affections of the
American people today than ever be-
fore. Of course, the other fellow
wants your business and he has just
as much right to want 1t as have and
all that, but If you will investigate the
record Of his company and the pro-
visions Of its contracts, as compared
with the mutual Benefit, am sure you
will decide that 1t Is not as much to
your interest to insure in his company.

A June NeW Years.
on the Nile Banks.
The Ancient Egyptians Started thu
Year with the Raise Of the
River.

In all ages and all lands much i'm
portance has been attached to New
Years day. In Egypt the new year
fell between the 18th and the goth
OF June, and was called the might
OF the drop" The sacred Nile was
thought to flow down from HEAVIER
and at its lowest ebb-about the mid.
die of June-a tear from Isis fell
into the stream and caused it to
rise.
Consequently at this season the
priests and people kept a sleepless
vigil at the rivers shore, watching
for the miraculous rise which should
bring such riches to the whole land
When the might OF the drop" came
the priests cleared the affairs of old
ashes and lighted the sacred fires
for the new year.
Every one of the faithful carried =
coal from the altar to light the fire
at his own hearth, and from end IN
end the land was ablaze with light
The people put on their old garments
and arrayed themselves in white an.
oindng their heads with sacred oil
browning themselves with flowers
and bearing palms in their hands.
"hile chants and songs and fasting
ana professions filled the homes.

The Origin of
New Years Calls.
Like Many Others Of Our Customs,
They Were Imported from
China.

The custom of making New Years
calls, which had long run in Amer
ica, and is still extant, came orig
inally from China, where such calls
are one of the main features of the
brilliant and lengthy New Years eel
ebration.
Every Chinaman pays a visit to
each of his superiors, and receives
one from each Of his interiors. In
ages OF gods are carried in process
sion to the beating Of a deafening
gong, and mandarlns go by hundreds
to the emperor and that apparently
much-maligned sovereign, the en-
press dowager, with congratulatory
addresses. Their robes are gorgeous
ly embroidered. and are heavy with
gold. The younger people call upon
the. elder.
Children call upon their parents Pu-
pills pay their respects to their teach
ers. A light collation. is offered every
visitor but It is to be noted, no wine
Is served. Tea takes the place of
any stronger drink. In China gentle
men never call upon the ladies', but
upon each other, and the women also
make social visits among themselves.
Nor is one obliged, happily, to make
all his calls In one day, for all calls
made before the 18th OF the month
are considered correct. Theee calling
customs have obtained In China from
earliest ages.

THE SEA MADNESS.

4 have come FAR from the sound OF the
thresh, the sight OF the living sea-
To q place OF cribbed and narrow ways,
where only the wind il free
But the leap OF the sea lie In my blood, and
always, night and day,
4 hear the lap and wash of the waves, the
hiss Of the fying spray.
When the 1oosened winds of the tempest
wake far thunder on the deep
4 can hear the siren music calling through
the veil of sleep;
Through the thronglng city highways
comes the hollow ocean roar,
And / sicken for the long green surge, the
lonely foam-wet shore.
1 know a storm-lashed headland, where
the broken hillside dips
In a somber flame OF heather to the oceans
singing lips.

mistress to her swain;
From the immemorial tumult shall drink

NeGO Years Is a
Candy Day in France.
Boxes Of Sweets Are FavorIte Gift
with all Classes In Paris.

Once is used to be very popular to
give New Years presents; but now so
much more attention is paid to Christ
mas, and every one receives SO many
lovely things then, that our American
boys and girls cannot complain II they
do not get presents a week later, as
did their mothers and fathers.
However, II they lived in France,
New Years day would be great occa-
sion, especially for girls, for there
every man or boy gives some gift, no
matter how small, to his friends. No
one paying a call would think Of going
empty-handed, and little French girls
at school on the I'd of January count
up how many presents they received,
Just az our girls do after Valentines
day.
A favorite gift is candy. Sometimes
this candy is made into temples,
churches or playhouses; or all sorts
of queer forms like bundles Of carpets,
boots and shoes, musical instruments,
gridirons, saucepans, Holsters, crabs,
books and hats are made Of colored
sugar, followed out and filled inside
with chocolates, mints and other bon.
bons that can be eaten.
Don't you think the little French
children must feel pretty sick the next
day, after so much sweet stun? For,
Of course. they would have to sample
each kind; that is, If they are like
American boys and girls in their fond
ness for candy.
