Origin of New Year Gifts

Like the customs of Christmas
which, In their origin, are a curious
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 heathen ages. The French de-
rive their term for New Year pres.
ems from the Latin word, Strenia,
the name Of a goddess whom the Ro-
mans venerated as the patroness OF
gifts. There was grove in Rome
dedicated to this goddess, where It 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 1t 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 had been offered to him
to be given to himself as arrearages.
The custom of making New Years
gifts. Notwithstanding attempts to sup
press 1t, was continued after Europe
had become Christian. For time pres
ent making was transferred to Easter.
but later 1t was again associated With
the first day of January.

the shade and the lower casing.
Wind Shields.
In admitting fresh air into room
through an opening below the win
dow sash, some kind of wind shield
or air dehector is often necessary
to protect those sitting near the win
dow from exposure to direct draft.
A shield for this purpose may be
made from an ordinary piece of hard
wood board three-fourths of an inch
thick and eight inches wide, long
enough to fit between the side cas-
ings and attached by two small
hinges to the lower casing. The
shield should be held in position by
cords attached to its upper edge and
to the casing, leaving an opening
three inches wide between it and the
window sash. There are variety of
wind shields on the market under the
general name of sash ventilators
which can be recommended for this
purpose.
Flushing Apartments with Fresh Air.
A most efficient way to ventilate
thoroughly and renew the air of
room is to flush it with fresh out
door air. In order to obtain a quick
.lushing cross ventilation is needed
with windows opened from both the
-, 81 A ka
flushed as often as necessary and for
any length of time agreeable to the
occupants during warm and temper
ate weather, but in cold weather it
must be flushed quickly so as to con-
serve the latent heat. This is done
by opening to the fullest extent for
few moments the windows and
doors through which the strongest
cross draft can be obtained. Such a
flushing will change the air in few
moments, and although the room
may seem cold after the openings are
closed, the atmosphere soon regains
its original temperature. The walls,
ceiling, and other objects absorb heat
when room is warm and do not lose
it during a short period of flushing,
but give it up afterward The cold
air is thus warmed by convection;
that is, the air nearest the object be-
comes heated and rises, giving place
to cooler air which in its turn is heat
ed, this circulation continuing until
the atmosphere is again warmed.
Bedroom Ventilation.
Fresh air is an essential in the bed
| room at night as during the day, and
everyone should sleep with windows
wide open during all seasons of the
year A small aperture at the top
and bottom of the window does not
give sufficient supply of pure air to
the sleeper. Too much emphasis cam
not be placed on this phase of the
| fresh-air problem. for the habit of
closing up sleeping rooms at night is
prevalent throughout the entire coun-
try.
Many persons close and lock their
| windows at night through fear OF
burglars Where there is reason
| for such precaution windows of sleep
| ing rooms should be fitted with per-
| manent iron bars or movable iron
gratngs which can be locked into
place at night. If gratings or bars
are used, one of the simplest and best
| methods of obtaining a plentiful sup
ply of fresh air is to remove both the
upper and lower window sash and
leave the window opening entirely
| free from glass obstruction at night.
The French window, which opens
from floor to ceiling by swinging in
ward, allows an opening of the entire
window without the inconvenience of
removing the sash. and is to be rec
commended for ideal sleeping rooms.

shows that on an average Michigan
prisoners serve six months and twelve
days over the minimum fixed by the
judge before they are paroled; and
an average of five months and nine
days less than the reasonable maxi
mum so fixed. 1t is we'll known,
however, that the members of the
Board rarely parole a prisoner unless
they have secured in advance the rec
ommendation of the Judge who sem
fenced him.
Not the least important item in the
report is statement that shows the
salaries and expenses of the present
board to have been less than three
quarters of the salaries and expenses
of the Board that held office during
the preceding two years. This saw
ing in expenses coupled with the
fact that fewer prisoners have broken
their paroles under this administra-
ton than under the last, does much
to establish beyond disproof that the
efficiency of the Pardon Board is in
creasing steadily.

don Board are: DR. James II. Brad
