Origin of Scottish Festival.

The origin of ''hogmanay," which
used to be SO dear to the youth of Scot
land, ay, and to the auld folks, too,
has given rise to endless discussion.
The following correspondence has ap-
peared in the Scotsman as to the
origin of the custom and the name:
"The derivation Hagia-mene, the
holy moon, has been suggested, the
period Of which correspondent to our
December. Some, with considerable
FEASIBILITY, derive it from the Latin,
Hoe in Ammo, persuasive to charity
which reminded well-to-do patrons that
the year had all but run it's course, but
that there was still time to relieve
their needy supplicants. 1t is not i'm
probable that the term is of Teutonic
origin. It may be connected with
Hoegtid, name applied to Christmas
and (or) other festivities. Hoeg-tide
day would thus mean the laettissimus
dies, or gladdest season of the year."

CUSTOM FOR CUSTOMS SAKE
English Church Authorities Continue
to Distribute Coins, Though Rea.
son for Doing So Is Forgotten.

In accordance with ancient custom,
six-penny pieces were distributed on
Good Friday in the churchyard of st.
Observation-Disclosures, West Smith
field, to 81 widows resident in the par
ish of st. Bartholomew. The coins
were dropped upon one of the fiat
tombstones by Corporal w. E. Irons,
r. e. (under church warden), and the
widows, whose ages ranged from
eighty-five to sixty, were required to
pick them up. Concerning the origin
of the custom, nothing is definitely
known. Until Mr.. Butterworth, seine
thirty years ago, invested a sum of
money sufficient to assure what was
needed to continue the custom on
Good Fridays, the distribution was in
danger of being discontinued, mas
much as there was no fund from
which the money was supplied. Until
then the expense was borne by the
church wardens. The nave of the
church once stood upon the spot where
the money is now distributed, but was
destroyed at the time of the dissolu-
ton of the monasteries. Mr.. Deputy
Turner, who died last year, had con.
Quoted the ceremony for so years.

MIND SUPREME OVER PAIN
Notable Instances When Agony Was
Subdued by Determined Exercise
of the Power of the Will.

It is said that even the most acute
physical pain can be overcome by a
determined effort of the will.
DR.. Edward H. Clarke suffered from
fatal malady, which produced the
most agonizing pain; and yet he could
determinately withdraw his conscious
ness, so to speak, from that pain by
fixing it upon another object, that OBJ
ject being the working out of his own
neutral train of thought in the compo-
sition of book.
This is well known to have been
the case also with regard to Sir Wall
ter Scott, who, during a very severe
and painful illness, dictated the ''Bride
of Lammermoor." The most remark
able fact about the composition of this
work was that, after his recovery, he
entirely forgot all that he had done,
the book on its publication coming to
him as an entirely new work, with
which he had nothing whatever to do.
He only remembered the general out
line Of the story upon which he had
composed his novel; this he had heard
in early life, and 1t remained with
him; but of the working up of this
story into the novel, while he lay on
his sofa contending with paroxysms
of agony, he had no recollection.

Measuring Thought.

Interesting experiments in measuring
the action Of the mind, or thought,
have been made by scientists. 1t takes
about two-fifths of a second to call
to mind the country in which we'll
known town is situated or the lam
guage in which family author wrote.
We can think of the name of the next
month in half the time we need to
think of the name of the last month.
1t takes on an average one-third of a
second to add numbers containing one
digit, and half a second to multiply
them.
Such experiments give us wonderful
insight into the mind. Those used
to reckoning can add two to three in
less time than others; those familiar
with literature can remember more
quickly than others that Shakespeare
wrote Hamlet" 1t takes longer to
mention month when a season has
been given than to say to what month
a season belongs. The time taken up
in choosing a motion can be measured
as well as the time occupied in per-
ceiving.

Women have been forbidden on sew

these is Iona of Icolmkill, called also
I or Hy, a small island Of the inner
Hebrides, nine miles southeast OF
Staffa, and separated from the island
of Null by a channel one and quar-
ter of mile wide, called the sound or

firmed the gift upon being converted.
Colombia built a chapel and a hospice
Of wicker and mud matched with
heather among the $50 gray Druidical
monoliths, on which rude crosses were
sculptured by early converts. Colon
ba's aversion to everything feminine
was such that he forbade even the
keeping of COWS on the island, for, he
said, "where there is COW there must
be a female, and where there is fe-
male there must be mischief" Any
married tradesman of Iona must keep
his wife on the neighboring "Woman's
isle" While the lords of the isle were
brought to Iona for burial, their wives
were buried on the Isle of Finlagah.

Fortify With Silage Against
Winter And High Priced Feed

Don't forget your silo," is advice
to the beefcattle farmer by special
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
In every case, the specialists say, a
sufficient acreage to provide crops to
I'LL the silo should be provided by beef
cattle farmers. This will assure that
the silo investment will yield its prop
er annual return and prevent losses
coming from giving the cattle more ex-
pensive feeds. The cheapness with
which cattle can be fitted for market or
carried through the winter with silage
insures that well-flled silos will be a
paying investment.
1t is good farm practice, the spe-
clalists say, to put more acreage to 81
lage crops than it is estimated under
ordinary conditions will be necessary
to fill the silo. Dry weather or a hail
storm at the crucial stage of growth
may cause marked decrease in the
tonnage yield. For the South few ex-
ira acres should be planted to sorghum
to meet this probable shortage.

ALL HE WANTED TO KNOW
Interview With One Dealer Satisfied
Shovel Maker That Ee Had No
Need to Worry.

hfany delightful villagers appear In
Miss Rosalind Richards "a Northern
Countryside :" there are people anus
ing and lovable, eccentric and pathetic.
Old Eliphalet Marston, hero of one
brief anecdote, stands out among them
all as the best exemplifcation OF the
principles on which real business sue
cess is founded.
Eliphalet, who built and owned the
shovel factory, made it his study to
produce the best-wearing and the
soundest shovel that could be made. In
later life his son tried to induce him
to go about through the country, look
up his customers and do what he
could to increase trade. The son was
very emphatic about it. 1t was what
every one did, the only way to keen
up-to-date and advertise the business,
and Eliphalet must not become moss
grown. The old man shook his head,
but after much discussion consented
to start off, although he was not real
ly persuaded OF the wisdom of the sug-
gestion.
He went to big wholesale dealer in
Chicago, but did not mention his name
merely said he was there to talk
shovels.
Don't mention shovels to me-" said
the dealer. "There's just one shovel
that's worth having, just one that's
honest, and that's the one that I'm
handling. There it u.s." he said, pro-
ducing it. "Look at it! That's the
only shovel that's made in this coun-
try; made by man named Marston,
at Marston Plains, state of -"

TURKS PR0FANE HOLY PLACE
Mount Sinai Dishgured by All Sorts OF
Markings Of Spots That Christians
Hold Sacred.

lie must be an unimaginative man,
whatever his creed, who can ascend
Sinai without a thrill Of reverence.
Here was given the law that is in
scribed on the countless tablets of
half world, the maxims that have
ruled much of the lives of billions of
men and women for thousands of
years. The barren grandeur of the
peaks, the rocky difficulty of the as
cent, are pitched in the proper key.
Unfortunately, the Moslem rulers of
the region have cluttered up the
neighborhood of the mount itself with
all manner of childish legends and
authentic" relics. Orientally toler-
ant, they have not only accepted the
Jewish traditions of the spot, which
have become a part of their great RI
val religion, Christianity; they have
added to them and overlaid them with
all manner Of crude superstition.
Thus they will show you the very
rock where the children of Israel set
up the golden calf, and another COM
monplace bowlder which is guaranteed
to be the one smitten by Moses when
the wandering Hebrews were thirsty.
Exhibit G is the rock on which Moses
broke the first tablets in his anger.
Then there is garden with a chap
ell. inclosing the spot where Elijah was
fed by the ravens. A second chapel in
the garden is sacred to Moses. Near
by is a Moslem relic in the shape of a
rock which bears the footprint of Mo-
hammeds camel, sort of a legendary
fossil. Even in Christian monastery
this somewhat primitive insistence on
marking the concrete spot where re-
ligious history was made seems to per-
sist, for you will be shown an altar
which is said to be erected over the
site of the burning bush.

Bulb Culture Once a Craze.

Bulb culture in Europe has had a
particularly interesting history. The
tulip, for instance, has been popular
in European gardens for about three
centuries, and prior to that time it
was cultivated for many centuries by
the Turks. Near the close of the six
teenth century the tulip was intro
duced into Holland and the popularity
of the plant increased so rapidly that
by 1854 it had become craze. For a
number of years the widest specula-
ton prevailed in tulips and enormous
prices were paid for rare bulbs. Five
hundred dollars was not an unusual
amount to pay for choice tulip, and
such bulbs as the famous Semper Au-
gustus brought more than $1,000
apiece.

Hearst Wire Mer,
Appeal to Labor
Board for Raise
International News Service
Telegraphers Join United
Press Men in Plea
Negotiations Failure
Rapid Increase in Living Cost
Given as Reason for
New Demand

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.---Petitions
for increased wages for telegraphers
employed by William Randolph Hearst's
International News Service have been
filed with the National War Labor
BOARD by s. j. Konenkamp, president
of the Commercial Tclegraphers' Union
of America, and by C. Z. McElrcath, of
Detroit, Mich, representing the Inter
national News Service unit of the
union.
Mr.. Konenkamp's petition included a
similar request for telegraphers en-
ployed by the United Press Associa-
tion, and this was backed up by the
union representative of those telcg-
raphers. A hearing is asked on the ap-
plications for wage increases.
Negotiations Fail
The War Labor Board was Informed
that the telegraphcrs and the Inter
national News Service entered into y
contract last January for wage scale,
but that the cost of living has ad
vanced to such an extent as to render
tho present rate of pay inadequate.
The petition pointed out that by reason
of the small wage international News
were compelled to seek
employment in other fields of industry
Negotiations conducted in New
York. with Fred J. Wilson, general
manager of Hearst's news dissemin
ating concern" Chairman McElreath
said, "failed utterly, the management
declining to offer any relief to the dis
tressed telegraphers, and resort to the
National War Labor Board was taken.
sd. X. Stevenson, of Pittsburgh, rep
resenting the tclegraphers of the
United Press Association" McElreath
continued, "also filed petitions for re-
lief for the telegraphers employed by
that organizations"
Ask 50 Increase
The appeal to the War Labor Board
follows conferences between commit
tees Of the telcgraphers interested and
the Representatives of the International
News Service and the United Press AS
socation, covering period Of two
weeks. Up to the present the employees
Of the Associated Press have not iden-
tilted themselves with the movement.
The men demand an increase of 81
a day above the present scale. Men
as receiving operators in the
offices of subscribers outside New
York City are paid from $50 to s33 per
week. In New York United Press oper-
ators are receiving $37 and Intcrna-
tionul News Service men s42 per week.
1t is said that in petitioning the
War Labor Board it is tacitly under
stood both sides to the controversy will
abide by any decision the board may
