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

The custom Of making New Years
calls, which had a long run in Amer
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 a ~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 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 n day, for all calls
made before the 18th Of the month
are considered correct. These calling
customs haXe obtained in China from
earliest ages.

"A June New Years
on the Nile Banks.
The Ancient Egyptians Started the
Year with the Raise OF tho
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 It's lowest ebb-about the mid.
die Of June-a tear from Isis fell
into the stream and caused 1t to
rise.
Consequently at this season the
priests and people kept a s~leepless
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 OLE
ashes and lighted the sacred fres
for the new year.
Every one of the faithful carried
coal from the altar to light the fir
at his own hearth, and from end t
end the land was ablaze with light
The people put off their old garment
and arrayed themselves in white, an
ointing their heads with sacred oil
browning themselves with flower
and bearing palms in their hands
while chants and songs and fastinI
and professions filled the homes.

ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.

Of Old Friend.

The late Edward Atkinson useI to
tell the following story at his own ex.
pense; In his boyhood lie was inc of
a number Of boys who used to play
ball on the Boston common, which
was then against the law. At regular
Intervals old Erastus Clapp, the con-
stable, would bear down upon the tres
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
rather choleric old man-Disastrous
Clapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into a prosperous and re.
spected business man, while passing
along a Boston street in company with
q friend, he recognized in a bent and
wizened old man the likeness Of his
old acquaintance. Constable Clapp
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow.
Don't you remember me. Mr.
Clapp?" he asked.
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr.. Atkinson coldly

view much to the amusement OF ME

New Years Is a
Candy Day in France.
Boxes of Sweets Are Favorite Gifts

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 a week later, as
did their mothers and fathers.
However, if they lived in France,
New Years day would be a 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 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 and hats are 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 mex
day, after so much sweet stuff? For

each kind; that is, If they are Xix

ness for candy.
