Watching the Year Out.

Throughout the world the practice OF
watching the old year out and the
new come in has been common OBJ
seryance for many centuries. In the
monasteries and converts of various
religious orders it has always pre-
vailed, and several Protestant denom-
nations observe it as a beneficial In
stitution, promoting, as 1t does, piety
and the formation Of good resolutions.
Resolves for the future are not limited
to our own time, for nearly 1900 years
ago Pliny, the scrapbook maker, noted
in his quaint fashion the return or the
Saturnalia; made a memorandum that
during the coming year he must make
sacrifices to certain gods whom he had
neglected and that In other ways he
must amend his life. There is no rec
ord that he did. so his New Year
resolutions were probably forgotten
as quickly as those made nowadays

A DUTCH NEW YEAR.
Old Time Hospitality In the Mo-
hawk Valley.
CAKES BY BUSHEL BASKET.

Honest Graft For the Matutinal Milk
man-Rum Teddy the Official Drink.
Festive Day For the Faithful Farm
Hand-open House Everywhere.
There was no day of the year so gen.
orally, particularly and joyously cele-
brated in the Mohawk valley by the
early Dutch settlers and by their de-
scendants as New Years, and when
Jan and Barent met Bjbertje and En-
gletje early on a bright, frosty New
Years morning the religious and some
what formal greeting was when put
into English:
81 wish you happy New Year.
Long may you live. Much may you
give and happy may you die and IN
herit the kingdom of heaven by and
by"
The preparations for the New Years
Inequalities were begun by the moth
ers and their daughters frequently as
soon as the first frost and snow made
their appearance, for there was much
to be done to be ready on the joyous
day. New Years cakes, rich and de-
licious (some of the descendants of
the early Dutch housekeepers make
them now, using the same recipe and
the same ancient dies and stamps that
their Observation-Disclosures used and
about the size and shape of a mans
hand and less than half as thick, were
made by the bushel basketful-literal-
". 1t was not unusual for the hos
pitable Dutch housewife to give from
FIVE to six hundred cakes to the chill
dren who called before the noon hour.
The early rising by the boys and girls,
which a proper observance Of the day
demanded, is equaled in our day by the
early rising ON the Fourth of July.
There was one old mansion in the
Mohawk valley that was particularly
notable for its hospitality mot only on
New Years day, but upon all occa-
sions) and good times. 1t stood and Is
still standing on the estate of Alexan-
der Lindsey Glen and was named by
him In 1859 Scotia in memory Of the
hand of his birth. The children started
on their rounds at sunrise and went
from house to house Justify pounding
with the great iron or brass knockers.
The littlest ones shouted, "Happy New
Year for a cakew but the older ones
refrained from so far giving them
selves away by leaving off the last
three words. 1t was not at all an I'M
usual occurrence for three or four
hundred cakes to be given to the boys
and girls before breakfast from the
Glen mansion.
Coming down to more recent days
in the Mohawk valley, the custom Of
giving cakes was extended to the milk
men. Each milkman always purchas-
ed a new bushel basket to carry about
on New Years morning in his wagon

"HApPY NEW YEAR FOR A CAKE"

for holding the supply of cakes and
the other dainties which were some
times added. Each house where milk
was left helped fill the bushel basket.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning
the men began to make their calls aft
er making the most elaborate toilet of
the year. A previous acquaintance
was not necessary for one to make
calls. 1t was the one day Of the year
when every home was open to every
body without regard to birth or posi-
ton. The last day of the old year
was spent by the women of the family
In preparing dainty CONNECTIONS, solid,
rich cake, and in the morning the
choicest old wine was brought up from
the cellar, and hot rum toddy was
made, rum toddy being the official New
Years drink In the Mohawk valley.
The Dutch partook sparingly Of the
wine and toddy at each house. and, al
though nearly all the men were incl
low" by the time the festivities ended
at midnight, no one was drunk. There
was one exception to this rule. The
farm hands were usually dead to the
world by noon and SO out of the way
Of their betters.
But all this charming hospitality and
the delightful customs were made i'm
possible a generation or more ago by
the outsiders of other nationalities than
Dutch, who focked to the larger towns
OF the valley and turned the day Of
hospitality into day of drunkenness.

SCHOOL NOTES

New students this week are: Nettie
Roby, third grade; Esther Jones, fourth
grade; Benjamin Young, fourth grade,
and Julia Brooks, fifth grade.
Marguerite Frank has been out Of
school all this week, on account oil
sickness.
Hardness is the chief fault with
some of the pupils in the schools at
present. School begins at 9 in the
morning-not at 9:10, or $50. Mrs.
Farrell's room carried off the banner,
last week for having the greatest num-
Der of tardies. Children, cannot you
help to reduce the number of tar
dies to none ? A good cure is to
rise earlier and get to school before
nine o'clock.
The report cards will be out again
next week. Quizzes and examinations
are the order of the day in some of the
rooms, this week.
The January examination for the
eighth-grade certificate is being given
this week. Yesterday and today are
the days set by the county superintend-
emit. A number are taking the exam
nation.
The per cent OF attendance for last
week was the highest that it has been
this year. 1t was nearly 90 per cent
OF the people enrolled. The per cent
Of punctuality was not quite as good.
These results, on the whole, are very
gratifying to the teachers and the prin-
cipal, and the attendance officer as
we'll. Let the good work go on, and
reduce the absence and tardy record
to nothing, and make the attendance
and punctuality record perfect.
The ninth grade will take up the
study of bookkeeping in few weeks.
The idea in taking up this study is,
that it will give the pupils some prac-
tical work and training. 1t will be
practice for them, not only in penman-
ship and arithmetic, but will aid in the
matter of learning to write notes and
checks and bills. We are purposing
to make the high-school work suit the
needs of the greatest number. A high
school should give, besides the cultural
training, a training in the practical,
everyday workings of life.
The eighth and ninth grades are or
ganizing into literary society for the
purpose of getting practice in parlia-
mentary law, and along lines of debat-
ing and general literary work. They
will devote an hour every other Friday
afternoon to this kind of work.

In nothing but a pair of wings
And smiles of dimpIed Joy.

Tall hat, tight waist and ruffled shirt,
He made his bow again.
Twas only one short year ago
We heard a rush and jar.
In dust and smoke before US stopped
A scarlet motor car.
Forth stepped a chauffeur clad In furs
And, mid the mingled din
OF horns and bells, invited US
To take a twelvemonth's spin.
But now above the chimes, behold,
We listen in tho night
To hear the whirline fans that bear
