consideration the fact that there is no
biblical obligation upon the Jews to
differentiate Sunday from week"
days, though they cannot be convicted
of its wanton and inconsiderate dis
regard While the Catholics are not SO
radical in their Sunday customs, others
might well equal them in church
attendance and worship. We doubt If
there is a more devoutly impressive
sight in the state, than the outpouring
of the hundreds of women and chill
dren and men, that stream from the
doors of st. Paul's Catholic church
every Sunday morning.
| In all considerations of the question
of the observance of Sunday, the two
.. fold meaning of the day should be
kept in mind; the day of worship as
defined in Leviticus, the day of rest in
Exodus. The misuses of the day by
the bigoted Pharisees drew from
Christ the definition that "the Sabbath
was made for man and not man for the
Sabbath" Later, the abuse of that in
depreciation gave birth to the so-called
blue laws" of the Puritans, who were
even more intolerant than the Phari
sees of Palestine. Submerged by the
irreligion, lax-religion and differing re-
ligions which have so prevailed in this
country the last half century, Puritan
ism was destroyed; and there is about
as much danger of a restoration of its
blue laws, as of witch burning.
The danger is not of a return OF
Puritanism, in Vicksburg especially,
but of the dominance of the grandest
and most benign of divine institutions,
by the commercialism of the age. If
that institution, Sunday, was only men,
aced as a day of worship, We might |
well leave it to the defense of the
church ministers. To preserve it as
a day of rest for all of Gods creatures, |
man and woman. employers and en-
ployees, should enlist the interest and
effort of ell humanitarians and good
citizens - especially the civic and
church authorities.

THE NEW YEARS EVE FATES
How Curious Madens Can Find Out
What Is in Store for Them
An italian Custom.

Every maiden wonders what the fu-
ture has in store for her, and this is
what she must do on New Years day
to learn her fate:
Turn the pillow at midnight, the
31st of December. and you will
dream of the man you are to marry.
Or let her take her hymn book to her
bedroom, blow out the lamp, open the
book and mark hymn Gin the dark,
put it under the pillow and sleep on
it. Next morning when she reads the
hymn she will find its text will indi-
cate the event of the year
On New Years eve the Italian maid
en- places in one corner of her bed
room a thimble, in another water, in
a third ashes and in a fourth ring
Upon waking in the morning. II she
sees the ring first she will be married
that year: if she sees the water first
the year will be unlucky; if the
thimble, fortune will smile on her;
if the ashes. she will die.
On New Years eve, if a maiden
wishes to know her fate during the
coming year, she must go into the
open air with a psalm book in one
hand and a piece of silver In her
mouth. She must allow the book to
fall open, and if it opens at the death
psalm she will die; if it opens at the
bridal psalm she will marry, and what
ever else it opens to will indicate her
fate.
On New Years eve. while the clock
is striking twelve, repeat three times:
Good st. Anne, good st. Anne,
Send me a man as fast as you cam
Ard you win be engaged in year.

is trifle strong. 1t cannot be doubt
ed that enmit;es are ended and friend
ships strengthened in the general re
joicings.
So then, every Scot, wherever and
whatever his lst--Scots VIVA Haze and
Scots Wha Hinna-will raise the
glass to the New Year, and his heart
will turn to the Mecca of his hopes,
the home OF his poet and prophet
Robert Burns.
Writing to an English friend from
Scotland In 1902, Henry Bickersteth
says: On December 81 almost every.
body has party. either to dine or
sup, the company almost entirely con.
sisting of young people. They wait
together till midnight strikes, az
which time every one begins to move,
and they all fall to work-at WHAT
Why, kissing! Each male is success
sively locked in pure Platonic EN-.
brace with each female. This matter
is not at all confined to those. but
wherever man meets woman It is the
privilege of this hour.
New Years gifts have taken many
different forms at different periods
from the eggs exchanged by the Per,
SLAMS and the sacred branches Of mis-,
tletoe of the Druids down to the fat
eapon which the tenants In many Eng.
lish counties were expected to pre-.
sent to their landlords
In the sixteenth century, gloves
We're often given on New Years day.
and there Is record OF certain Mrs.
Croaker, in whose favor Sir Thomas
More had decided case, sending the
chancellor a pair of gloves with 40
gold angels therein.
Mistress wrote More, returning
the money. Since it were against
manners to refuse a New Years gift,
| am content to take your gloves, but,
as for the lining, | utterly refuse it."
What precisely is 'Hogmanay 2"
Etymologically. it has been derived
from the French "au-gui-menez,"
come on to the mistletoe." The Nor.
man French a-gui-Pan-neuf," also an
association of the New Year and mis-.
tletoe, seems likelier.
Can anyone tell us precisely, what
was the origin of the custom In some
parts of England, of the going to the
parents bedroom on New Years
morning with new snow (if 1t can be
had. and the song,
New Years day in the morning
The cocks begin to crow
Open the doors and let me in
And I'll give you some New Years snow.

The little Scotch fishing village of

up strange survival Of pagan ritual,
the burning of the "Clavie." This is
sort of rude spoked wheel or tub

half tar-barrel, knocked together

which a smooth stone is substituted.
