Various Explanations Given Of Scotch

1t is natural with New Years even
more than with other holidays that
large part Of the observance should
fall upon the eve rather than upon
is any single moment so important as
the moment of midnight that marks
the change from the 31st Of December
to the LIST Of January. That is the
turning point In the celebration. the
thing itself which Is celebrated. The
early ceremonies lead up to 1t, and
the later ones begin with 1t.
Nobody knows why the 3lst Of de-
cember should be called HOgmanay IN
Scotland. In the north of England this
word Is Hagmena. and In two Or
three other countries there are names
for the day that sound little like
these. Several unlikely guesses have
been made at the origin of the word.
and they are as Improbable as guess
es made entirely without basis OF
knowledge usually are. One Of them
is that The words "HOgmanay. trOllO-
lay" which occur In song. are cor.
ruptiOn Of "Homme est ne trOis rOis
ia" This theory ignores with calm
ness OF Indifference TINT Il positively
fascina ting the fact that the word

songs where 1t could not by any pos

lion mean "trois rOis la" II Is here

the absurd extremity to which the
craze for ignornntly deriving words
will carry its victims. The word Hog
manay was applied also to a certain
dole of oat cakes. sometimes accom-
panied by cheese. given to child on
this day The children OF the poorer
people went about In companies ask
ing these gifts. and the people who
were more well to do often gave them
in such quantities that the problem
was rather how to carry them than
how to get them.
Going about In large parties to visit
neighbOrs with one sort Of ceremony
or another formed a part Of the OBJ
servance of many an old custom In
England and Scotland. but the pres
ent time seems TO have been one OF the

1t will be built by cannibal ma
tives who have shown themselves the
most intelligent and Industrious
workmen. 1t will open up the last
region Of Africa where white men
have not yet settled.
The new line into Nigeria will be
$50 miles in length and will take
four or five years to build. 1t will
cost about $15.000,000. 1t is being
built by the Colonial government,
Of which the head is Sir Frederick
Lugard. The country which is to be
opened up is rich in palm oil and
coal, which the British expect TO
yield handsome revenue on the
money invested in the road
Fifty thousand natives have been
hired for the work of building the
road. They will work under the d.
rection of British engineers and
foremen. Doubtless some Americans
will be associated with the enter
prise.
These natives of Nigeria are noted
for their obstinate cannibalism.
Although the practise has been sup
pressed wherever possible by the
British officials, the Nigerians in the
depths OF this wild country frequent
ly find an opportunity to indulge in
their peculiar taste. They attack an
isolated village, destroy the houses
and feast upon the inhabitants.
Sometimes they take their victims
to lonely part Of the forest, keep
them In corral and fatten them up
for great banquet. Several times
the white men have accidentally
stumbled upon the hiding place of
these destined victims of the canni-
balls.
Many explorers and scientists have
asserted that the cannibal tribes of
Africa were more industrious, cour-
ageous and intelligent than their In
nocent neighbors. The brutal and
INSCRIPTIONS exploiters of the Congo
Free State, under King Leopold, took
advantage of this fact by employing
cannibals to lead and drive the other
natives. The white men, 1t has been

Paris thought that she carried her
modernity to an extreme. Was there
ever anything SO cruel7
The announcement that she would
marry young Mr.. Crane on June 23
had already been published in the
papers in Paris and in this country.
The happy lover sailed on the I'm
perator early in May to join his
charming fiancee, who was in Paris
completing her trousseau and bidding
farewell to her many friends there.
The plans for the wedding were all
made. 1t was to be celebrated in
Cincinnati; there were to be eight
bridesmaids and two flower girls.
John Patterson, of Dayton, one of
the foremost men of this country,
and an adoring uncle Of the groom,
had already bought them a splendid
house In Dayton and father Crane
had settled large fortune on his son.
Everything was ready for the re-
turn of the bride. "Jef," being a de-

pigliosi be able to hold this tickle
young heiress' hearth" asks Paris,
New York and Cincinnati.
Time alone will tell. He is partly
American. and the part haughtily
italian. The Rospigliosis are an i'm
portant family, one of distinction and
wealth. Three other princes of the
house have married American girls,
and the wives have been tremen-
dously unhappy.
1T is on the knees of the gods"
the future princess is reported to
have said when her sister, the Prin-
cess Murat, asked her IL she expected
to be happy. Paris also asks this
question, and several others as well.
Having been nearly married" FIVE
times, what has this tickle maid done
with the five trousseaux? Has she
acquired new one each time she
decided to marry, or does she have
stock" trousseau which is ready to
wear whenever she decides to turn

Paris would dearly love to know
the fate of the wonderful lingerie
which the Princess-tobe ordered six
months ago, when she was positive
that she would marry Jeff" Il won't
want a whole lot" she confided TO
the Countess de Lubersac. "You see,
| have whole lot Letter, that is,

Now, Paris takes this to mean that
when Miss Stallo marries the Prince
she will have In her trunks lingerie

figure of Mesdames Florman, Har-
