A NEW YEARS APPEAL.
Prisoners For Debt Used Day to Tell
Of Their Unfortunate Condition.

Prisoners For Debt Used Day to Tell
Of Their Unfortunate Condition.
The newspapers Of a century ago af-
ford ample evidence Of the cruelty and
futility of one Of the laws of the day
namely. the punishment Of debt by
Imprisonment. says Alice Morse Earle.
It vas an utterly hopeless task for any
imprisoned for debt ever to expect
to be released save by pardoning, and
the suferings of such prisoners was
extreme, as they had no charity funds
to draw upon to mitigate the woe and
misery, the filth and horror of their
surroundings. These unhappy men
often chose the opening of the new
year-a time of gladstone hope to the
world in general-to appeal for aid in
their utter forlornness, and in the
newspapers at the close of the year ap
peals for help printed through the pity
of the publisher of the news sheet, and
In early January sometimes humble
thanks for gifts from generous citi-
zen Here is IN advertisement from
the New York Gazette. January, 1851:

Relieves the poor Distrest. aHssIaSs
When Troubles compass them around
The Lord shall give them Rest.

this publick Opportunity of returning our
most humble and hearty Thank to our
generous but unknown Benefactors for
relieving us this severe Season when We
we're almost perich'd with Cold and Hun

Cord Of Wood. Twelve Shillings In Money
and three dozen of Loaves of Bread,

give them Health and Happiness In the
present Life and Eternal Happiness in the
next. are the sincere wishes and Desires Of

sTALkED BY vvLTuREs.
While a Man Trailed a Buck tho Bird,
Followed the Man.

81 met with a curious and not alto
gcthcr pleasant experience" writes
an Anglo-lndian correspondent who
had done a good deal of large and
small game shooting in India, "when
| was one day stalking a black buck.
Between me and my quarry lay a
large flat field of black cotton soil
bordered by a very low, struggling
and thinly growing hedge of small
babul trees.
"My only way to get a shot vas to
cross this, keeping the bushiest tree
between me and the buck, which
had not much to browse on and was
therefore seldom motionless. / pro-
cceded to do the hundred yards on
the flat of my stomach. This on
loose, hard baked black cotton soil
was no joke. l pushed my rifle on
ahead; then, wriggling past it until
the muzzle was near my knee, l
would pass it on in front again, and
so on.
progress was slow, and I was so
absorbed that l failed to observe
shadows crossing and recrossing my
path and circling around until l had
gone some fifty yards. Then the
whirring of wings attracted my ears,
and almost at the same moment a
vulture landed on. the ground not
twenty yards away. 1 looked up.
The air was alive with these repul-
sive looking birds.
"Then it flashed across me that l
was being stalked! Doubtless these
birds were attracted by my extraor-
binary method of procedure and
mistook me for a wounded or dying
man making a final effort to reach
some shady spot. This was espe-
cially possible, as the experience &C.
Cured in q famine district where
deaths by the wayside were not in
frequent.
"By looking up 1 had evidently
shown myself to the buck, for he
was now off at full tilt. / therefore
took pot shot at the vulture at twen-
ty yards, but did not allow for the
sighting sufficiently and missed him.
The thought of being waited for by
a flock of vultures while very much
alive and we'll was, to say the least,
uncanny."-Pall Mall Gazette.

str,no. New Year Celebration.

What probably is the strangest New
Years rite Is held in the Cevennes
mountains, in southern France. At the
last evening mass Of the old year the
herds and f]ocks of the %peasantry are
gathered before the portico Of the little
stone church high up on the mountain
side and are blessed by the priest and
sprinkled with holy water by the AGO.
lyte., who follows him in order that this
| the sole wealth of the countryside may
increase and prosper during the year
to come. The sight at the holy hour Is
wonderful. AS the church bell tolls
above them the frightened animals
bleat and below and try madly to es-
cape. First the oxen are blessed, then
the cows. next the sheep and lambs
and finally the goats and pigs.-Chica-
20 Tribune.

Dec. 81.

Best day Of all tho year, since I
May sec thee pass and know
That II thou dost not leave me high
Thou hast not found me low,
And since, as I behold thee die.
Thou leavest me the right to say
That I tomorrow still may vie
With them that keep the upward way.
Best day of all the year to me.
Since I may stand and gag
Across the grayish past and SEE
So many crooked ways
That might have led to misery
Or. haply, ended at disgrace:
Best day since thou dost leave me free
To look the future in the face.
Best day Of all days Of the year
That was so kind. 30 good,
Since thou dost leave me- still h dear
Old faith in brotherhood: y
Best day since I. still striving here.
May view the past with small regret
And. undiaturbed by doubts or fear,
Seek paths that are untrod az yet.

Big Hailstonss.


In 1907 a hailstorm visited a part
of Indo-C China, and the director of
the, Central observatory, N. Cadet,
reported afterward that at first the
h%ailstones were as large as eggs, but
as the storm progressed they in
creased in size. A soldier picked
up one 'tas large as a mans head,''
and another was placed on the scales
and tipped the beam at sixteen
ounces. In January, 1911, too, giant
hailstones fell at Molepolole, Bechu-
analand, Of such a size that twenty
natives were killed by being struck
with them.

Coin Abrasion.

BY the abrasion of coins wealth
literally vanishes into thin air. An
English banker explains that if a
thousands pounds in half sovereigns
is sent a thousand miles in a bag
one of the coins always disappears
during the journey-that is, the alb
rasion that takes place among the
whole number amounts to half q
sovereign in value.

New Year. Day In March.

New Years day used to fall In
| March. not in January. and there was
u good deal Of sense in this, for. even
as the worlds first year was supposed
to have begun in the sprouting of Leaf
and grass. 80 each New Years day
was set for the season when Nature
began to wake after her winter sleep.

Practical Poetry.

"What is your favorite poem?:'
asked the literary young woman.
""The Boy Stood ON the Burning
Deck" answered the commonplace
young man. 81 used to recite il
every time father and mother had
company"
"And did you recite it with eff
fect?"
Father thought the effect was
pretty good. lie said he honestly
believed it kept us from having SO
much company. "-Washington Star.

Love Of III. Forest.

The only way to love the forest
is to stay in it until you have learn
ed its painless travel, growth and
inhabitants as you know the fields.
You must begin at the gate and
find your way slowly, else you will
not hear the great secret and see
the compelling vision. There are
trees you never before have seen,
flowers and vines the botanists fail
to mention and such music as your
ears cannot hear elsewhere.-Gene
Stratton Porter. /.

Lotteries.


Lotteries are almost as old as his.
tory itself. It is certain that they
were known to the Greeks and Ro-
mans, and the custom descended,
through Italy, to modern times. In
the Italian republics of the six
teenth century the lottery principle
was applied to encourage the sale OF
