SOME QUAINT NEW
YEAR OBSERVANCES

It has always been customary for
the civilized races to see the Old Year
put and the New Year in with dem
onstrations of merriment and con-
VITALITY. Schemes of all kinds are
introduced by wealthy Londoners for
welcoming the New Year at banquets
on the night of December 81.
In many parts of Britain there are
dozens of singular and attractive
ways of celebrating the commence
ment of another year, the quaint cere-
monies, as a rule, being carried out
in the same manner they were OBJ
served generations ago.
An old custom which has a good
deal to recommend it takes place at
Holmes chapel, Middlewich, Cheshire.
For many years past the bell-ringers
of the parish have rung in the New
Year and then made their way to a
couple of local hostelries, there to be
entertained by the landlords free of
expense.
A quaint custom takes place at
Sunderland on January LIST. Early on
New Years morning the mayor of the
borough, accompanied by the mayor
ess, pays a visit to the town work
house. and performs the ceremony of

What a relief it was at last when
the grand old man was gathered to
his fathers and ceased to be the
pioneer settler and oldest inhabitant,
the last authority on the coolest Win

all stood in awe, who knew every

The money they receive in this way

At Coventry it is the custom to eat
"God-cakes" on New Years eve, and
on December 80 and q the bakers
of that city are busy turning out the
delicacies by the hundredweight. A
"God-cake" is triangular in shape,
about half an inch thick, and filled
with a kind of mince-meat; in fact,
it is a glorifed mince-pie.
There are scores of superstitions as
sociated with the beginning of New
Year which the average person knows
nothing about.
1t is considered unlucky for the
male inhabitants of the little island
in the North Sea to be visited by a
member of the fair sex on New Years
day, while fires must not be put out
on that day in the south of England,
or the luck of the year will be ex-
ceptionally bad.
On the continent, especially in out
of-the-way villages, it is customary
for food and drink to be put on
table outside the houses on New
Years eve. This is not to feed the
hungry, but to keep COLLINS from fore
ing their way within. But why

meaning connected with the sun dial.
The pedestal should be colored
white, to represent marble; the metal
angle of the sun dial yellow or bronze
