NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Occasion When Whole Country Is
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year is the national payday in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases If there is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts of COM
promises to keep up the business rep
utation of the clan. New Year is
great day for the pawnbrokers; their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things
in order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole coun-
try red, figuratively speaking, on New
Years day, in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them de-
notes good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invita-
tons are on paper of that color. Every
child gets its New Years present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
lions are pasted over the doors of
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying for good fortune,
wealth and happiness, and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
of the houses. New pictures OF Chi
nese generals are put on the front
doors and the houses are secured and
made clean.-Philadelph Inquirer.

NEW YEAR NEVER AGAINS"
Suggestions for Husbands, Wives ard
All Lovers, Married or Single,
That Are Timely.

If you haven't thought up any. here
are a few timely suggestions
For hubby: Never again TO spend
a moment out of the presence of the
wife unaccompanied by trustworthy
guardian appointed by her, who will
report faithfully all of your doings,
even to the irregular culver of an eye
lash, or the drinking of soda instead
of buttermilk.
Never again to be such brute as
to want to stay at home when the
wife wishes to go out, or to wish to
go out-by yourself-when wife de-
sires you to stay at home in the bos-
ON of your family.
Never again to growl. grumble or
the wife pokes you in the back and
asks you to walk with the baby in
the middle Of the night.
Never again to threaten to forbid
tradespeople TO allow the wife credit
if she and the girls do not cease their
extravagance-when the monthly bills
come in.
Never again to forget to peck wife
on the cheek upon leaving her in the
morning and coming home at night,
to tell her that her frightful new bon
net is a perfect gem, and that her
''fourteen-year-old" short dress is al
together too old-looking for her youth
full figure.
For wife: Never again to make
biscuit for breakfast until you have
tried them ON your own digestion for
a few weeks in the absence of the
rest of the family.
Never again to notice pa exchang-
ing glances with the pretty girl across
the aisle all the way downtown
Never again to keep the lights
turned on when pa has been detained
downtown ION business in order to
see what time he gets home. or to
insist on his kissing you that you may
smell his breath.
Never again to come to the table
with hair in crimpers and wearing a
soiled kimono.
Never again to subject pa to spells
of lachrymose reproaches, telling him
that he doesn't love you any more.
For lovers, married or single: Never
to miss an opportunity to tell the dear
old story over and over again.
Never to lose the coquettlsh elu-
siyeness that makes lovers so delight
full TO each other.
Never again to spend the sweets of
young lover souls in cheap Hirtations
when there is such world OF real
happiness at your command.
Never to become insensible TO the
delicious treInblings and futterings of
Jour own heart, or to become lax IN
-ll of those lovely attentions and CIV
ings that help &c keep keen response
a-thrill in the heart OF the beloved.

QUAINT SOLDIER CEREMONY
forth Hiehlanders, Ushers in
the New Year.

The Seaforth Highlanders, one of
Scotlands crack regiments now at the
front, have one of the most peculiar
New Years eve customs of the whole
British army. The ceremony is pic
turesque and imposing.
On the night of Hogmanay, at about
1890 o'clock, the regiment assem-
bles in the barrack square. A few
minutes later the oldest soldier in the
battalion, dressed as a Druid, makes
his appearance, to the accompani-
ment of a flourish of Irumpets As
cending the improvised throne, he
calls on the veterans to show their
uniforms and achievements of bygone
times. To the music of the pipes and
brass band veteran after veteran, ar
rayed in the uniforms worn by the reg
iment at different periods, marches
past and salutes the Druid. The Druid
then toasts THE Seaforth Highland
ers."
After display of Highland dancing
the alarm is sounded, and the second
oldest soldier, arrayed as Father Time,
approaches. The veterans then re-
treat, leaving their honors to be guard
ed by their successors. and Father
Time expels the Druid.
At the last stroke of midnight a
loud knock is heard at the gate and
out rings the sentry's challenges:
Halt Who goes there?"
1.-THE New Year," comes back the
answer.
Advance, New Year. and give the
countersign." is the next command.
Pass, New Year; all's well!
The gate is then opened and the
youngest boy of the battalion enters,
dressed as the high chief of ancient
Ross, 10 represent the New Year. The
colonel shakes hands with the boy.
