A Pretty Custom Observed in Berlin on
New Years Eve.

1t was with much pleasant anticipa-
ton we awaited the approach of "Syl-
vester Abend,' AS they call New Years
in Germany, says Il writer in The
Woman's Home Companion. About 10
o'clock. supper being ended, we all adj
journed to the parlor, where they
danced until almost midnight. Then
refreshments were served. These con-
sisted of queer little cakes made espe-
cially for the holiday season, apples.
nuts n Berliner pfankuchen. which
are perfectly delicious. The latter look
like large brown doughnuts covered
with sugar. On opening them they are
found to be filled with jam. Our
Christmas tree was relighted. having
been furnished with new candles.
The ringing of the bells announced
the beginning of the new a Guns
were fired, and from the church lofts
bugles were sounded. Later all the
windows were flung wide open. and,
standing within them, the people held
up their glasses and called out. "Prosit
Neujahr!" to every one who passed by.
People on the street called in to us.
Even h droschky coachmen. as they
drove by, called out. "Prosit Neujahr!''
OF all the pretty customs in Germany.
I thought this the prettiest. Not only
to your friends do you wish a happy
new year. but to all.

New Years at Frankfurt.

BY far the most charming OF the
German New Years customs is one
observed from time immemorial in
Frankfort-on-the-Main. There at the
same moment the whole city salutes
itself-wishes itself a happy new year.
On the night of December 81 all the
city keeps the festival. watching the
old ear out and the new year in.
Family parties or gatherings of friends
are to be found in every house. Games,
stories. music and kindred diversions.
with an honorable attention to eating
and drinking, serve to speed on the
last hours of the dying year.
Suddenly at the exact moment when
from the great dome of the cathedral
the first stroke of midnight sounds it's
warning every house throws wide open
it's windows. Forth from the case
n lean all the dwellers in the
town, old and young together. each
with glass in hand. The glass is raised
on high, and the words of the toast
burst on the astonished air of night in
massive ton born of more than
100,0 coo voices joined in the cry.

Because of the duty" says Mr..
Lowry, In his letter to President VIII
son. containing his latest suggestion,
the consumers will pay about 1884,
O00. 900 more than would be- the cost
under free sugar. OF this amount the
United States government viii collect
In duty approximately Sax. 000, 900, less
about 100000, which will be re-
funded in drawbacks on sugar export
ed. Because OF the enhanced value Of
their products as result OF the, duty,
the producers within our borders will
divide as an ndirect subsidy the bal
ance Of approximately s 5000. 900. Z
Thus, according to Mr.. Lowry, the
domestic producers get more from the
tarif than does the government.
This does not at all square with the
findings OF either the Republican OF
the Democratic members OF the finance
committee after the hearing Of April,
1912, when Mr.. Lowry was a witness.
The report Of the Repub1 ican members
stated:
1.-THE committee does not subscribe
TO the contention that the retail price
per pound OF our entire consumption
ip raised by an amount equal to the
duty collected perspound ON our dutis
able sugar imports, nor does It concede
that IL the duty were abolished the re9
tail price Of sugar would be lower
by the amount Of the duty RENTED z
The minority report, signed by Sem
ators Bailey, Simmons, Stone. John
Sharp Williams, Kern and Johnson;
declared:
The tariff on sugar is peculiarly q
revenue tariff. Very much the major
part Of the tax levied upon the con-
sumner Of sugar and sweets goes actual
" into the United States treasury for
the use and sbehoof and benefit OF the
American people. Aminor part OF the
tax goes into the pockets Of the pro
dHcers."
