The Daughters of the American Revouticn-Whet We Are and
 What Are Our Aims.
CBy Almira NJ. FOWlerD

This great organization. like al most everything else had very small beginning, but that beginning Was so great in it's purpose that it could grow into nothing less great than the vision of it's founders, al though We truly believe that it has grown far beyond their fondest eN- pectations.
 When We say that anything has d great purpose we do not always mean that that purpose consists in being seen of men, or more broadly speaking. mankind; or that it is done tG win applause. but anything to nave a truly great purpose must conform to the needs of mankind. and his development, else it's purpose cannot be said to reach the real standard of greatness.
 For long there have been patriotic societies. societies based upon lineal descent from our sturdy ancestry. The very earliest of these patriotic organizations in America is the Soci- ety of the Cincinnati. organized in May lIS3. by the officers of the Continental army who were en- camprd on the Hudson. At that time there were a number of French of ficers in the army and the society vas organized partly for the purpose of perpetuating the mutual friend- ship that had been formed Societies were formed in thirteen states and one was formed in France. The privilege of membership was con flned to all Continental officers in good standing. and all officers of the French auxiliaric>, and honorary membership was granted all sgners of the declaration of independence.
 One of the objects of the society was to raise fund for the relief of widows and orphans of those who had fallen during the war. and was named the Cincinnati because it in- cluded patriots headed by Washing ton. who in most instances had left rural pursuits to serve their country Only the eldest son of direct descendant of one of the originators of this society is eligible for mem bership. consequently it will never become as large an organization as that of the sons of the Revolution organized in 1875 or 1876, almost q hundred years later than the order

NEW YEARS DAY IN ENGLAND.

New Years day is kept very curl
ously in some of the old countries. In
England the ringing of bells is about
the only formal demonstration they
show for the anniversary at the pres
ent time, though years ago it was as
much of a gala day as Christmas.
They used to give presents and have
great feasts, and there was a good
deal of revelry and drunkenness, more
than there ought to have been in a
civilized community. On the whole
the new is quite as good as the old
way, to my thinking. In Denmark the
cannon booms, as a sound of JOY to
welcome in the new year. Every
morning of the first of January, Copen-
hagen is shaken by this peaceful can
nonading. The people in the rural
districts go to the farmhouses and fire
their muskets under the windows OF
the sleeping inmates, to inform them
that new year is at hand. The Gus
tom is not very nice one; 1t smacks
too much of old time roughness and
rudeness.

Few persons north OF the Ohio

states which never returned a Repub-
