Influenza Raging Again

The dreaded and dangerous
influenza is again sweeping the
country and if the epidemic is
not 80 bad as it was last year, it
Is probably because physicians
having learned more about the
nature of the disease, are better
able to cope with it, and because
people now know better how to
prevent contagion.
80 tar. there is no general en-.
Idemlc of the disease in this
county. although there are sew
eral cases reported in various
sections OF the county. Speak
ing OF the situation to a repre-
sentative of the Chronicle. DR..
j. A. Morford. president of the
county board of health, said:
The influenza situation in this
while serious is not especially
alarming. but too much care and
't'1" cannot be exercised to
e''.''ni return of the epidemic
readfuI as we had last win.
Tor. 1t is trsacherous in its at
lacks and hard to combat.
Keep the mouth closed and
breath through the nostrils. A.
void congregating in crowds and
loafIng. Keep the bowels open.
Inc observance of these and a
fe" other simple and familiar
rules will lido more towards check
ing the spread of the disease
than general quarantine or like
measures.

| resourceful occupant Of the mayoral
chair to interpret the custom as relat-
ing to the first three market women,
and henceforward they were the re-
cipients Of the New Year kisses until
the ancient custom vanished alto
gether.
1t Is much to be feared that the
abuse of kissing customs has been
largely responsible for their falling
into disuse. though some of them are
certainly more honored in the breach
than in the observance.
One such. which used to obtain in
Oxfordshire, concerned the tenants of
certain estates which they held on
condition that on New Years morning
they publicly kissed the parish pump
or paid a drink fine to the assembled
p0pulace.
AS might be supposed. the tenants
almost invariably preferred to pay the
fine, but it is on record that one mis-
guided, close-fisted individual actually
kissed the pump in order to keep the
fine in his pocket.
The populace were so disguised at
his meanness and Infatuated at the
loss of the liquor that they held him
under the pump and pumped the wa
ter on him until he was almost washed
away.
The exchange of drink for kisses
was, in the bad old days, a not infre-
quent New Years day practice in pub
lie houses, where 1T sometimes led to
rows and riots among the frequenters.
AT one hostelry in the metropolis
it was the custom for the landlord to
hand out to every member Of the OPP
posite sex who called before the hour
Of noon on New Years day a measure
Of ale in exchange for kiss.
What the landlords better half
thought Of this proceeding report say
eth not.
At another London public house 1t
used to be permissible for the first Gus
toner on New Years morning to kiss
the barmaid by way Of paying for his
liquor. But only the first was entitled
to this privilege, and any subsequent
caller who presumed to pay in this
fashion had to forfeit half crown to
the barmaid. One .astute Hebe got her
sweetheart to call first and mulcted
several later callers Of the customary
half crown in the course of the morn
ing.

New Year Kissing
Customs
Saluting the Parish Pump
NHERE has always been close
and mystic association Of kiss

"HERE has always been close
and mystic association Of kiss
ing with the New Year. Every
lover, if circumstances permit, thus
salutes his sweetheart at the dawn Of
the New Year-and some lovers are
not particular whose sweetheart she
Is that they thus salute on this aus
picious occasion.
There is an ancient kissing custom
associated with parish church in
Lancashire. The legend is that any
one who at the first stroke Of mid
night kisses the keyhole Of the church
door, and then runs right round the
edifice in time to kiss the keyhole be-
fore the last stroke of the hour, Is GER
tain of good luck during the whole of
the year.
It requires certain amount of
nerve to enter this country churchyard
at the dead of night, even for such
purpose, but rumor hath 1t that no
new year is born without someone es-
saying the race round the church. The
distance Is such that 1t is impossible
for more than one person to thus court
q years luck
Churchyards have always been favo-
rite places for New Year oscillations.
In the Wensleydale district, in days
gone by, all and sundry could kiss
"without scandal" on New Years eve
In the porch Of the church.
It was largely availed of, too, for
It is on record that the accommoda-
ton fell lamentably short Of the de-
mand, and consequently there was
even more squeezing than kissing-if
that were possible.
! A somewhat gruesome kind of
churchyard kissing used to obtain
among the Basques Of the Pyrenees
on. New Years eve. It was the custom
for the maidens to then repair to the
churchyard, and on their fingers watt
kisses to the four quarters of the uni
verse.
A kiss was supposed to brush their
lips on return, and II 1t was warm It
indicated that they would marry and
be happy ever after. On the other
hand, If the kiss was cold and of the
earth earthly. the inference was that
single ''bIessedness" would be their lot.
The only means by which the omen
could be broken was by repairing to
the church and kissing the church bell,
gravestone and piece Of coffin
wood. This remedy was very fire.
Quently resorted to; and SO supersti-
tious were the Basque maidens that
but for the consolation afforded some
Of them would have lost their reason.
In these degenerate days the lot of
the mayor of Durham is far happier
than that Of his predecessors Iii az

contests of various kinds between each

the Virginia reel. By introducing

The refreshments should be of a sim
