OLD TIME CALLING.
I MEAN to be all through the year

The overcoat of our 1850 dandy was
Of several fashions, like our own day.
The box coat was affected by horse
men and sporting characteristic long
tailed short wasted surtout by the
more fashionable.
In the midst C the excitement at
tending Kossuth's visit to America the
soft felt hat worn by him was affected
by a few even with the feather, but #
never attained the dignity of fashion.
The wide flowing cloaks. called the
Talma. were also worn.
Thus attired, the caller sailed forth
for his days work.
The dress Of the ladies' was as rich
as possible as for dinner. an evening
party or the opera, and for the fashion
must beg them to turn to maya
zine or fashion book of the day. Many
gentlemen proceeded In carriages from
call to call. thus saving time and pre-
serving their attire from rain, snow or
dust.
Upon entering the parlor the caller
advanced gayly toward the hostess or
lady he knew, saying, 81 wish you a
Happy New Year." or he extended his
wish to all the ladies by saying. Il
wish you all Happy New Year." The
old or elderly gentlemen who Were ON
intimate terms with the family or wene
relations were often permitted to S.
lutte the young ladies or all the ladies
they were safe In honoring. Some old
gentlemen, indeed. claimed 1t as a rife
or ceremony descended from colonial
times. The caller then seated himself
and exchanged few remarks.
liz few moments the caller arose
and said he must go. He was then
asked to take some rcfreshment. which
he generally did, more or less accord
ing to the circumstances of his being
more or less dev ted to the table. bis

Der Of tables at which he had af-
ready partaken. Relatives and intimate

not being able to renew the supply ana
fearing there would be none for "A
vorite callers. Others, more frugal and
circumspect, kept these choice matters
for the latter part Of the day. when

The clergymen Of that day kept open
house not only for their congregatisx.
but when famous. like Beecher, IN.
Storrs, Dr. Bethune and others, we've
accessible at all hours to all who might
call.
Then came the war that did av.o

tom. But neither the war nor sny-

NEW YEARS EVE CAKE.

So excellent is the German New
Years cake that 1t cannot be used for
a charm. like the New Years eve cake
of Ireland, for this was thrown against
the wall and was broken into pieces
The first fragment to touch the ground
was eagerly sought. for he who ate ii
was sure OF years happiness. There
was much pleasure in the baking OF
the cake. 1t was placed on gridlron
before the open fire. ana incantntirns
were sung to secure the success OF The
charm. In many countries the bakin.
and eating Of New Years cake have
been attended by quaint customs and
beliefs.-New York Times.

AUTO PARKING IN DETROIT.

Detroit, Mich.-Commissioner Couz-
ems has just issued an order prohibit
ing the parking of automobiles in the
busy section of the city, which covers
quite large portion of the downtown
business section. No car can stop any
longer than time enough to discharge
and take on passengers. Very few
cars For Hire" are now allowed to
stand at the curb, but small space
is reserved near each hotel entrance.
This will be quite inconvenient for
some time, but the object Detroit must
achieve is some system Of auto dis
posal that will serve the convenience
of the motorist and conserve the
rights of the public at the same time.

policemen he needs, but more citizen

new LAW COVERING
AUTO ACCIDENTS

A compensation law has been in
force in Michigan few years cover
ing industrial accidents. II was found
that under the old law whenever an
accident occurred the ambulance chas-
ing lawyer would get hold of the
case, take 1t on shares, start suit for
large amount of money, and the in
dividual corporation would be obliged
to hire lawyers to defend. The liti-
cation would extend over a period Of
two or three years, the injured party
would be troubled and annoyed, and
oftentimes would receive but little
compensation, the industrial corpora
ton would be unable to make settle
ment for the reason that the attorney
having the case on shares would take
half OF the money which would stop
the settlement. Under the compen-
sation law it was recognized by every
one that a smaller amount of money
party II they could obtain it without
litigation. So, under the law in case
a person was killed they would get
only one-half of their weekly wage,
for period of five hundred weeks not
exceeding $4,000; If an arm was taken
OF, the injured party would receive
one-half Of their weekly wage for two
hundred weeks; If leg was taken off
they would receive one-half of their
weekly wage for a period of one hun
dred seventy-five weeks.
Many automobile owners have been
studying the question and they feel
that IN a law fiyinQ tho amoupf of dam.
ages in automobile accidents was
passed whereby fix amount as deter
mined by the legislature should be
paid, 1t would be much fairer to every
one concerned. Such a law is likely
to be presented to the legislature this
winter for passage.

Why People Loved Him So.

His past, while not an open book,
had bitter lessons taught; the one di.
ploma that he took in suffering was
wrought; in Life's exacting school
he'd learned how weak man can be;
he understood the hearts that yearn
for love and sympathy; no pious saint
himself, he knew the sorrow and the
woe Of others-he had suffered, too. :
and All we loved him so.
He freely gave, not asking why: no
lecture throwing in; into no details
would he pry; no sermon would begin;
be sought no evils to correct, he gave
because it pleased; he injured no ones
self respect-enough. that want was
eased. His was the modest, simple
creed, "Letno your right hand know
we knew him as friend in need. and
All we loved him so.
Of his own failings conscious. he no
judgment sought to give; he strove,
unlike the Pharisee, TO live, and to LET

We Must Maintain Roads.

In many county in the south the
condition of the roads is the same as
those which the editor of theClinton
Democrat describes as existing in his
county. He Says:
We can't survive the impression
that we have wasted lot of meney;
that we have built lot of roads that
have gone back to their former con-
dition, from neglect; that we have
burdened our posterity with a debt
that has proved to be rather bad in
vestment. We have burdened our
children with bonds that will be nigh
ty hard to pay, and we will have to
answer for great deal, if for their
$1,000 we leave them a legacy of
mudholes, heritage of sand and wa
ter. One Of the main defects in our
present program, we think, is the fact
that we are spending all of our money
on construction and are not taking
propr thought for the maintenance of
roads.

But would they taste as good again

Would memory make up, perehance

That chicken Maryland we knew
In golden bygone days
Seems to have lost its flavor now,
The pies that mother used to make,
So flaky and so light,
Go well in verse-but would they temp
