NEW YEARS. Gifts
English Monarchs Practically Ex-
torted Offerings" From
Their Subjects.

" ENR4 vi Is pIODdDIy Tic III 81
81 English-speaking ruler to
make capital out of New
Years gifts. During the
reign Of Elizabeth the custom rose TO
it's greatest extravaganza. The virgin
Queen, who apparently never lost an
opportunity for extracting money from
her subjects, practically ordered an
astonishing collection of gorgeous
presents of all kinds. The donors
ranged from the highest officers Of
state down to the very street cleaners.
Sums Of money, costly ornaments,
caskets studded with jewels, neck
laces, bracelets, gowns, loOklng-glass-
es, fans and curiosities from the new
ly discovered continents of North and
South America were among the pres
ents.
testers Greed Costly.
Another story of New Years gifts
concerns Archy Armstrong, court
jester of Charles /, which appears in
1.-THE Banquet Of Jests," printed in
1884. Archy was given a few gold
pieces by certain nObleman from
whom he expected a larger gift. He
turned them over discontentedly in his
hand, muttering that they were too
light.
The nObleman, who would undOubt-
eddy have made a success in modern
business, remarked: "Prithee, then,
Archy, let me see them again; and, by
the way, there is one Of them which /
would be loath to part with" Archy,
expecting a larger gift, returned them
to the nobleman, who pocketed them,
saying calmly: II once gave money
into the hands of a fool who had not
the wit to keep it."
New Years Eve Mosques.
Mosques in which the youngsters
took part were often given on New
Years eve. An old writer says of the
performance: "For this purpose they
don old shirts belonging to their ia
theirs and mount mitre-shaped caSques
of brown paper. Attached to this is a
sheet of the same paper which, falling
except where holes are made to let
through the point of the nose and af-
ford sight to the eyes and breath to
the mouth. Each is, like knight of
old, attended by a sort of humble
squire, who assumes the habiliments Of
a girl with an old woman's cap and a
broom stick and is styled Bessie
Bessie goes before her principal,
opens all the doors at which he
pleases to exert singing powers and
busies herself during the time of the
song with sweeping the floor with her
broomstick or in playing any other
antic that she thinks may amuse the
sndwellers. The common reward for
this entertainment is a halfpenny, but
many churlish persons fall upon the
unfortunate guisers (masqueraders)
and beat them out of the house. Let
such persons, however, keep good
watch upon their cabbage gardens
