A June Neu Years
on the Nile Banks.
The Ancient Egyptians Started tho
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 heaven,
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 a
coal from the altar to light the fire
at his own hearth, and from end to
end the land was ablaze with light.
The people put off their old garments
and arrayed themselves in white. an.
ointing their heads with sacred oil.
GROWING themselves with flowers
and bearing palms In their hands.
while chants and songs and fasting
and professions filled the homes.

Cream Cheese and eooseb erries.

This combination is one of the most
palatable there is when 1t is question
of mixing cheese and fruit. 1t is much
used for luncheons, as cream cheese
is a sort of non-commital variety and
the average woman is fond of it. Take
one package of fresh cream cheese
and beat in enough rich cream to
make it soft and somewhat foamy.
Pile it into a pyramid heap in the GEN.
ter of a plate and surround it with
stewed gooseberries. The gooseber-
rifles should be cooked until they are
quite done and plentifully sweetened.
This is to be served on toasted salt
ines or water biscuits.

and pound it to paste. Into this
mix half tablespoonful of black pep
per and teaspoonful each Of mustard
(made mustard), ground spice and
curry powder; add, also, a wineglass-
full of sherry, and the cheese is ready
for use. 1t is tasty If served on slices
of bread and sprinkleG over with a
little paprika.

To Retain Color In Cotton Goods.

Delicate shades of cotton fabrics,
blues, pinks, lavenders and so forth,
can be laundered and still be as pref
ty as new, If they are treated as fol-
lows, says the Housekeeper: Drop one
teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine
into one-half gallon of cold water, wet
the goods thoroughly in this, wiring
dry and hang in the shade. When
thoroughly dry it can then be laun-
dered. There is no odor left from
the use of the turpentine. This meth
cd has been tested time and again,
and always with perfect results.

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

The custom of making New Years
lea, 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. I'm
ages Of gods are carried in process
sion to the beating of deafening
gong, and mandarins 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 callsupon their parents. Pu-
-pibs 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 OVER, 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. These calling
customs have obtained in China from
earliest ages.

New Year's Is a
Candy Day in France.
Boxes of Sweets Are Favorite Gifts
with all Glasses 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 If they
do not get presents week later, as
did their mothers and fathers.
However, if 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
y matter how small, to his friends. No
tone paying 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 as 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 ana nats al55-.made of colored
sugar, followed out and filled inside
with chocolates, minis 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 stuff? 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.

CHICKEN WAS ALL RIGHT.
How One Woman Was Cured Of an Old
Prejudice.

"But I never eat fried food" said
my guest, raising her hand in protesta'
ton when l said in pleasantly: Il
have fried a chicken to-day in your
honor" but if you eat my fried
chicken and have faith in my assertion
that it will not harm you, you will be
glad that you tried it," l replied, and
went on helping her to the second
joint and a piece of the breast, and
added a generous supply of cream
gravy for the baked Jersey sweet
which was offered on another small
plate. 1t was moment when friend
ship of long years seemed about to be
strained, and would not have placed
my guest in the position of taking Hob.
sons choice had l not known and felt
that she was in q half starved condi
ton through fear that different sorts
Of food might harm her. She had
been seriously i'll nearly two years be
effect so far as lingering fear that
she could not do this or that without
evil result. This fear was principt y
in regard to food and her menu was
pitifully limited.
The chicken in question was young
and tender and had been plunged into
deep smoking hot fat until the outside
was scared, then the kettle was sci
back where the cooking would go or
more slowly and reach the bone. In
reality it was more delicate than most
broiled chicken, for almost no fat hac
been absorbed and there were nc
hard, burned or dried portions.
While we were deep in conversation
about some pleasant matters my
friend tasted and picked until only the
bones remained on her plate. Then
after light dessert we went out for a
walk in the fresh air, and minor in
teresting sights along the way pre-
vented dwelling on the anticipated
troubles and they did not become real

Dado Is Economical.

Nothing is more economical in wall

can often be freshened simply by re.

of the dado is that 1t gives a room

EDUCATION AND STATEHOOD.

There are two provisions in the
to prove that congress at least
considered it a matter of more i'm
pOrtance than some of the Terrific
rial papers do that New Mexico
schools should be conducted always
in the English language, and that
the ability to transact public bust
ness without an interpreter should
be a necessary qualification for hold
section 25 in the statehood bill are
as follows:
THAT provision snail be made for
the establishment and maintenance
If a system of public schools, which
shall be pen to all the children of
said state and free from sectarian
control; AND THAT SAID SCHOOLS
SHALL ALWAYS BE CONDUCTED
IN fTNGLlSf1, PROVIDED, mat nOJn-
ing in this act shall preclude the
teaching of other languages in said
public schools.
That said state shall never enact
any law restricting or abridging the
right of suffrage on account of race,
color, or previous condition of erv
itude, and that ability to read, write
and speak the English language suf-
ficientIy we'll to conduct the duties
of the office without the aid of an
interpreter shall be a necessary quail
ification for all state officers"
These provisions will do much to
remove Arizona's prejudice against
jointure with New Mexico, besides
being for the best interests of the
Mexicans n Spanish people as well
as all other citizens.

JURY WOULD CHECK ILLEGAL
VOTING IN MCKINLEY COUNTY

From Albuquerque Journal.
The Mckinley county grand jury,
in it's report to Judge Abbott in Gal
lup, had among it's suggestions a rec
o~mmendation that steps be taken to
check illegal voting in the county by
foreigners not yet received into citi-
zenship. That portion of the report
is as follows:
'It has bee a matter of common
report and general belief in this
county that at elections in the past
numbers of foreign-born residents
have voted without any right to do
so, never having been n~aturaliZed,
and we urge upon all such persons
that in the future they refrain from
voting until they are vested with the
right of citizenship. We enter this as
a warming. because otherwise a flu
lure grand jury will undoubtedly see
that such violation of he law is
punished"
