Poet Cowper.

Some Of the crudest expressions in

In poetry. and eve religious CON-

there were many. however, who were
dearly fond Of pork, they met and

THIS GRAIN TRULY GOLDEN
How Discovery Of Prolific Gold Field
MAJ Made in Mysors, State
Of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time Is In the
Kolar district (Mysore state) of India.
Discovery Of IL was made In n curious
way.
In prosperous years. when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest Of rice. grains OF gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
ly mystified the natives. who ascribed
the gold 10 supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains. derived from the ~gravelly
soil. lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown In nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to TIE fields) and flooded at int srvals
with water.
The strange occurrence, Mt first
deemed supernatural. led TO the discov-
cry that the gravels Of the valley were
rich In gold, brought down from the
mountains. Since then the Kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply Of the yellow metal.

New Year Kissing
Customs
saluting the Parish Pump

"HERE has always been close
and mystic association Of kiss
ing with the New Year. Every
lover, II circumstances permit, thus
salutes his sweetheart at the dawn Of
the New Year-and some lovers are
not particular whose sweetheart she
Ii that they thus salute on this aus
picious occasion.
There is an ancient kissing custom
associated with a 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 a certain amount Of
nerve to enter this country churchyard
at the dead Of night. even for such a
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
a 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
sswithout scandal" on New Years eve
IN the porch Of the church.
It was largely availed Of, too, for
Il Is on record that the accommoda-
Hon 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
.ehurchyard, and on their fingers watt
Kisses to the four quarters Of the uni
verse.
A kiss was supposed 10 brush their
lips on return, and II It 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 "blessedness" would be their lot.
The only means by which the omen
could be broken was by repairing to
me church and kissing the church bell,
The Holly chieftain., 1920-12-30

gravestone and a 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 in an
cient times. Il tradition can be relied
on the chief magistrate was then un-
der an obligation to kiss the first cow,
the first sheep and the first pig
brought into the first market Of the
New Year.
This went on until 1t occurred to a
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.
It = 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 drink fine to the assembled
populace.s
As might be supposed, the tenants
almost invariably preferred to pay the
fine, but 1t is on record that one mis-
guided, close-dsted individual actually
kissed the pump in order to keep the
dne in his pocket.
The populace we're 80 disgusted at
his meanness and infuriated 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.
At one hostelry in the metropolis
it was the custom for the landlord to
hand out to every member Of the op-
posite sex who called before the hour
Of noon on New Years day 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 Il
used to be permissible for the hrst Gus
toner on New Years morning to kisa
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 10
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.
