A National Pay Day.

New Year is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who can't
raise enough to pay his debts has to
go into bankruptcy. The laws are such
that the creditor can enter the debtors
house and take what he pleases If
there is no settlement. To prevent
such action families club together and
make all sorts of compromises to keep
up the business reputation of the clan.
New Years is great day for the pawn
brokers; their shops are crowded with
people who want to redeem their best
clothes before the new year. There
are crowds who want to pawn other
things in order to get money to pay
their debts. Pawnbrokers receive very
high rates of interest, in which they
are protected by the government

U. S. BARS COIN BANGLES
jewellers Advised by Secret Service
Men That II Is Against Law to
Mutilate Money.

New York, N. Y.-Secret Service
men are notifying jewellers in Maiden
lane and elsewhere who have been in
the practice of converting gold and
silver coins into ornaments and SELL
ing them at a profit that this is
violation of a federal law and must
cease.
The usual process of the jewellers
has been to make one side of the coin
smooth, so as to engrave a monogram
or other design on it, while the other
side remains the same as when it left
the mint
A revival of demand for bangle
bracelets has been one of the causes
of the mutilation of coins. Bangles
were a fad twenty-five years ago,
when young woman was proud to
have her arm encircled in a brace
let to which we're fastened many
coins bearing the monograms of the
young men Of her acquaintance.
Besides the use of coins for BAN
giles they have been meeting with
favor of late in the manufacture of
scarfpins and also hatpins and vari-
GUS other articles OF jewelry.
The opinions Of federal attorneys in
several cities were obtained by the
Secret Service, and 1t was decided,
instead Of commencing any legal pro.
ceedings, to notify the jewellers that
the practice must cease. It is point
ed out that the coins so mutilated may
again go into circulation as their
identity is not destroyed.
Manufacturing jewellers are in the
ha it of melting gold coin instead Of
buying the metal in bullion, and this
Is permitted, as the coins are then
destroyed as such. It Is often more
convenient for jewellers to get coin
than gold bullion for melting, and an
advantage in using the coin in this
way is that the metal has the govern
ment guarantee of quality and needs
no further assay.
Some jewellers think that the fed.
era' authorities are going too far in
interfering with the bangle industry.
as they say person who owns coin
may do as he likes with 1t providing
he does not try to pass it as money
after mutilating it.

HIS INSURED WHISPERS BURN.
LIoyds Of London VIII Have to Pay
Up on the Policy.

LIoyds Of London VIII Have to Pay
Up on the Policy.
Portland Ore.-Fred w. Palmer Of
San Francisco will on returning from
here to his own city collect the insur-
ance on his whiskers.
Fifty years of age and endowed with
considerable capital, Palmer when his
hair began to thin out insured the fad
ing hirsute growth for 800. At the
same time he took out $50 policy
with Lloyds of London Eng. through
the San Francisco agent on his
whiskers, which, alas, were then waist
low.
Being pronounced perfectly bald in
two years after taking out the policy,
Pa mer collected the 500 on his hair.
But his whiskers clung lovingly to his
chin until last week in Vancouver, B.
c. While smoking a cigar in the lobby
of the Vancouver Hotel on a ra'ny
afternoon Palmer fell asleep and the
lighted cigar dropped down into the
facial foliage and set 1t on fire. Palm
er's own private blaze was put out
with a fire extinguisher.

New Years Bells.

Paulinus. bishop of Nola, introduced
the bell into the Christian worship in
the year 400 A. D. The first bells were
made in Campania; hence the term
campanile, or bell tower. The adoption
of the bell into the services Of the
church soon gave the chimes the COM
forter's Office in the minds Of the de-
vout. In their simple faith the wor-
shippers believed that consecrated bells
had the power to prevent storms, to
drive away evil spirits and to bring re-
pose to the sufferer.
The direct forerunner of the New
Years bell is what was known as the
passing bell" This was rung at the
death of believer. In theory devils
troubled the expiring patient. More
over, they lay in wait to trouble the
soul the instant it passed from the
body. But the peals of consecrated
bell were believed to possess potency
that the most malignant Of devils could
not withstand; hence with every death
the ringing of the holy bells exercised
the evil spirits and assured the soul q
happy passing into a future of un-
troubled peace.
From this ancient custom developed
easily and naturally the habit of ring
ing out the old year and ringing in the
new. The parallel between the death
of human being and the death of the
spent old year is clear enough. All
that was evil in the old year, all that
it had brought of misfortune and wor-
ry, was supposed to be resolved into
nothing by the music of bells ascend
ing the starlit skies at the mysterious
midnight moment of transition.-St.
Paul Pioneer Press.

~ N the Isle of Man are many curl
GUS beliefs. The last night of the
old year was called Quaaltagh,
and it was the custom for par
ties of young men to visit from house
to house and sing song wishing
the inmates long life and happiness
and plenty Of potatoes and herrings,
butter and cheese, that they might
sleep we'll during the year and not be
disturbed by even 1.-THE tooth of a flea."
On finishing the song the party was in
vited into the house, the darkest men,
Der being always the first to enter,
and they were regaied with good cheer.
For light haired man or any woman
or girl to enter house on New Years
day is dreaded by all. If such catas-
trophe takes place. on him or her will
be cast the blame for every accident
that befalls the home during the year.
Great care is taken to brush the car
pet Of room from the door to the
hearth and not from the hearth to the
door. This makes all the difference
death, to the family during the year.
On New Years eve It was also the
custom to rake the ashes of the fire
over the kitchen floor The next morn
ing the ashes were eagerly examined
for the trace of a footprint. If one
was discovered with the toes pointing
to the door 1t signified that death
would certainly carry off one Of the
household during the year; If the foot,
however, pointed from the door to the
hearth then an addition would be made
to the family before twelve months
had gone.-San Francisco Chronicle.

ATTACKED BY NEGRO.
Tenant on vanMetre Farm Has Fierce
Fight With Fiend Who Is Later
Arrested and Awaits Trial.

From The World OF Saturday:
Late Friday afternoon an unknown
negro was seen at the home OF Mr..
Jos. Mosse who Is the tenant on the
farm OF G.. w. VanMetre, south Of
the city. Mrs. Mosse, who was at
home with the children, saw the man
and his actions frightened her TO such
an extent that she went into the
house and barred the door. The negro
made his way to the house and de-
manded admittance. After an effort
to get in he went away. The attack
on the house so frightened the women
that she sent two of the children to a
neighbours where the father was at
work In the meantime the negro re-
turned TO the house and swore at the
women and made another attempt to
enter. During this second attack Mr..
Mosse arrived and the negro took
refuge in the cellar. Learning the sit
uation he went to the cellar and ac-
costed the negro who made fierce
attack on MIN, being seemingly crazed
with drink or dope, and In the scuiile
the negro bit piece out Of the fieshy
part Of Mr.. Noses right hand and
knocked out two teeth. The wife came
to the rescue with a hoe and made an
attack on the negro who rushed from
the cellar and made his escape
The police were notified OF the oc-
currance and the negro was arrested
in this city late last night and is now
locked up awaiting a hearing. The
injury received by Mr.. Mosse Is not
necessarily serious but is exceeding
ly painful.
