Origin of New Year Gifts

Like the customs of Christmas,
which, in their origin, are a cu.iouS
mixture Of poetry and symbolism and
of superstition, those that belong to
the observance of New Years day are
also relics of ideas that date from
early heather ages. The French de-
rive their term for New Year pres
ents from the Latin word. Strenia.
the name of a goddess whom the Ro-
mans venerated as the patroness OF
gifts. There was a grove in Rome
dedicated to this goddess, where 1t was
customary to get fresh twigs, to give
as presents to friends and relatives on
New Years day. During the sway OF
the emperors, Roman subjects made
New Years gifts to their sovereign.
Augustus received such quantities Of
these that he had gold and silver
statues made Of them. Tiberius did
away with the usage, because he con.
sidered II too troublesome to express
thanks for the gifts. Caligula, on the
contrary. reintroduced the custom. and
even made up for his predecessors re-
fusal to receive presents by requir-
ing those that bad been offered to him
to be given to himself as arrOaragea.
The custom OF making New Years
gifts. notwithstanding attempts to sup
press It, was continued after Europe
had become Christian. For time pres
ent making wAs transferred to Easter,
but later It WAS again associated with
the frst day OF January,

Good Ne.o Years Resolves

The New Year is a good time to
"leave the low.vaulted past" to drop
the yesterdays, to forget bitter men,

Resolve that when you cross the line
between the old and the new year you
will close the door on everything In
the past that pains and cannot heip
you. Free yourself from everything
which handicaps you. keeps you back
and makes you unhappy. Throw away
all useless baggage. drop everything

NN come down to us from the
old German custom of d.
- viding the year at the close
of those months when it was no longer
possible to keep cattle out doors.
This was made quite a fete and In
the sixth century was merged into
the feast Of St. Martin, November II,
on which day the opening of the New
Year was celebrated.
While in Germany Martinmas and
the New Year were identical. with
the introduction of the Roman calen-
dar the celebration was gradually
transferred to the first of January, and
with 1t went many of the jolly Martin
mas customs.
Traces Of these old New Year OBJ
servances and supersitions can still be
traced in the way the season is kept
in different lands.
Our decorations OF greens, for in.
stance, are a relic of the old Roman
superstition Of presenting branches Of
trees for good luck In the coming
year.
The giving Of presents has also come
to US from the Romans They outdid
even the generous Americans, for they
used to ask for gifts, If not received,
subjects demanding gifts save on the
New Year.
One of the favorite New Years gifts
after pins were invented in England, in
the sixteenth century, were the rough
handmade pieces of metal that took
the place of bone and wood skewers
Later pin money was substituted.
A gift that must never be omitted
was an orange stuck with cloves to
grace the wassail bowl. Apples, nuts
and fat fowl were popular offerings Of
the season.
Gloves and glove money is a very
old New Year custom which is still
kept up in the increasing use of gloves
as holiday gifts.
Even more curious are the old New
Year customs. Many Of these are still
observed by old-fashioned people who
cling to the old traditions.
The old-fashioned Englishman will
formally open the outer door of his
house on New Years eve Just at the
approach Of midnight This is to let

ready for operation. few pieces of
machinery were lost on the road and
had to be recovered. These have been

80 tons of firstclass ore, so tons Of
high grade concentrates and bullion In
value to about $4,000 pesos.
The mill is handling 1850 tons of
ore monthly. The wagon road from the
mine to Cumpas about SO miles In
length, has been completed, and is now
being used by the company. This road
will be used in operating the new au-

Company Is Considering the
Closing Down of Santa

Chihuahua, Mex, July THE stu
alton at the plant Of the American
Smelling and Refining company,
where a strike of the Mexican en-
ployes has been on since Friday last,
remains unchanged. About one-half Of
the employees visited the officials Of
the company last Saturday to express
their disapproval of the action taken
and agreed that If the company would
open the works they would return to
work The officials took the matter
under consideration and told the men
to return the following day. but they
failed to show up as agreed and 1T is
said that they were intimidated by
the more rabid element among the
strikers, threats of violence being
made If they took independent action.
May Close Mines.
It is said that the officials Of the
company are considering the advisa-
bility Of closing the mines ct Santa
Eulalia and awaiting the outcome Of
the elections in November. Should this
be done a severe blow will be dealt to
the mining interests as nearly all the
mines Of the state are now shipping
to this plant and all except purely
development work will be brought TO
q standstiIl, and as many Of the prop
critics now operating depend upon re-
turns from shipments to carry on their
development as well as mining opera
lions It will, in many cases, mean
complete suspension Of operations.
The bakers have organized q union
and afterwards marched through the
principal streets carrying banners A
demand will be made upon the mas
ter bakers for an increase in the
present scale Of wages of from % to

Ninety percent of the bread eaten in
this city is baked in public bakeries

lation would be reduced to a tortillo

Train Service interrupted.
Train service to the south has been
interrupted since Saturday. the long
trestle at Ortiz, which was destroyed

built across the river goes out with
every rainstorm. more than 100000

progress is very slow. Rancheros
