For a chance in the New Year.

If an arrangement could be made
with the almanac makers 1 would be
in favor of having the year begin with
the 1st of May
On the 1st of January 1 have no real
sensation of the beginning of new
period, the starting of a new deal"
Between the last day of December
and the first day of January there ex-
lists no substantial difference. My
heart does not signify by single
throb that il is aware of the change.
Nature does not turn over in its sleep
when the whistles blow and the bells
ring to announce the artificial dawn
OF the artificial year, or disturb the
snow blanket under which it has lain
inanimate for a month or more. On
the other hand, continues the writer
in American Magazine, we spontane-
Ously signalize the arrival OF Nthe
spring by revolution in our thoughts,
our manners. our physical relations
to the world, our clothes, our houses
and our habits. Nature, contemptu-
GUS of the astronomers, shakes off its
cold lethargy and gives us a happy
New Year at the flowery threshold OF
the month of May.

The latest Panacea.


We Americans have a genius for the
invention of cure-alls. and for faith
in them after they are invented. Some
one has now contrived-on paper
the Order Of Nebuchadnezzarites. The
method of the order is not to be, as
one might expect, a diet of grass, but
a change from the upright position to
one on all fours. Members of the So
ciety must agree to eat, drink, walk
and run on their hands and knees.
They are assured by the founder OF
the order that they will speedily ban
ish all the Ills to which human flesh
is heir. Witness the vigorous health
enjoyed by the dog, the OK. the horse
and the necessary pig-their freedom
from dyspepsia, neuritis, rheumatism
and consumption. Whether they be
immune to measles, chicken-pox and
mumps has lot yet been announced.
1t is not disclosed whether this order
is the product of the lively imagina-
tion of newspaper reporter or Sc
rious scheme of a sincere reformer
who is unable to master more than
one idea. The very doubt on this
point results from the fact that even
such a society might find adherents-
An oriental legend relates that when
woman first discovered man he was
living on all fours. She. coa1ed him
TO his feet, and induced him to walk
upright Can it be that the twentieth
century will undo the work of the
primitive woman? Surely, remarks
Youths Companion, the adherents of
the new cult must all be men; for
fashion has made no provision for
women's clothes in the new attitude.
"Creepers" designed for the purpose
cannot yet be obtained, and the mush-
room hats would not adapt them
selves to a poise en- the back of the
neck. Thus fashion may be stronger
than fad, and weary man may be
forced to stand up again to get with
in speaking distance of woman.

Frenchman' who has returned to his

eled through every section of the

ute to Americans. Among other things
he said the congressional library at
Washington, which he described in
considerable detail, was by all odds
the best organized, best managed and
best regulated in the world, which,
coming from a representative of high
