New Years
in Egypt

~ A group Of people were ship.
~ wrecked or otherwise cast upon
their own resources and were to lose
track Of the date they would have no
easy means of finding it again. Our
year Is an artificial one, and SO must
be made by careful study in well
equipped ObservatOrieS. Without pre-
else instruments it would be difficult
to fix the day when the new year be-
gins. ,.,-,..., 4 ...s ~. ~ -.-rirF
The ancient Egyptians experienced
no such difficulty. Their year, from
which ours is derived, had perfectly
natural beginning. 1t always COM
menced on the day when Sirius and
the sun rose together.
The temples of Egypt were really
observatories, built to face this or that
star as 1t rose. They were more or
less elaborate, but all had as their
fundamental plan long narrow pas
sage down which the stars rays came,
and dark chamber at the far end
where the priest made the observa-
ton and where the image was kept.
The beginning of the new year was
an important event. We can picture
the scene as the priests, followed by
the scribes, lawyers, merchants, and
the curious crowd, wind their way up
to the temple In the first streaks of
dawn, and take their appointed places.
AS daylight comes on the interest Of
everyone is centered on two groups.
The priests on the roof are strain.
ing their eyes for the first glimpse Of
the coming sun, while those down in
the dark chamber are watching for
Sirius. Soldiers are stationed around
the temple to keep the crowd silent
and to prevent stragglers from cross
ing the path OF the stars rays in front
Of the temple door at the critical
moment.
A shout bursts from those on the
roof as the sun tops the horizon. The
observers below watch their water
clocks carefully now as the minutes
are told off, and strain their eyes at
the narrow opening where Sirius is to !
shine. In few moments Sirius itself
flashes into view. and the new year /
has begun
The Egyptians discovered that the
year has an extra quarter Of day in
It. They did it by noting that on some
years Sirius and the sun rose almost
together, while on others there was an
appreciate difference in time, and that
these changes repeated themselves
every five years. They found the
ength Of the year to within IL minutes
If its true value, which was a remark
lble thing to do with the primitive ap-
Dliances they had at hand.

NEW YEARS EGGS.

The Perslans still exchange presents
of eggs at New Years just as we do
at Easter. But the rest of us now do
our giving of presents at Christmas
parties. though we may give to each
other on January l. In Scotland and
England everybody calls on everybody
else New Years day, and drinks punch.
Here in America calling has gone out
of style, but If we do nothing more
we at least shout Happy New Year"
to everybody we meet on New Years
morning. When we shout that. we
mean good luck to them for all the new
year through.

eNe~ Year

IN HE year that has just closed
w means something different
to most everybody. To
some 1t has brought a great
Joy; to others a great sorrow; to
many, both grief and gladness in
full measure. Many Of us have
gone along the regular, unevent-
full path, filed with the happiness
of love and work and the Joy Of
everyday things, which, after all,
Ii the best happiness.
To youth the New Year means
a long, pleasure-fllled evening and
the writing Of new date on their
letters. They look neither for
ward nor back. They make res0-
lutiOns because 1t seems the cor
rect thing to them to do. They
keep them sometimes and 1t helps
make them better men and women,
but 1t Is not serious matter with
them-just as is natural for youth.
Older folks invOluntarily look
back bit on the even Of q new
year-not Systematically, but with
a general sweeping glance that
usually makes them bit uncOm-
Portable at things left undone or
failures to make good as they :
had intended. Maybe there has
been just one thing accomplished
that gives them q little warm feel
ing round their hearts-maybe not.
The great sorrow or great Joy
stands out with more meaning to
them than to youth. IT'S another
milestone passed.
The New Year may not present
very bright prospects to some, but
these same older folks know that
there is something better in store
than what the immediate future
seems to offer-know that unhappy
things can't laSt-that they are
pretty sure to lead to something
greater and better-know that
even If they can't understand the
reason for sorrow and trouble that
there Is a reasOn-knOw It deem
down within themselves, though
Outwardly they resent and rebel
against fate. 1t Is not blind faith
or optimism that teaches this, but
reason and knowledge Of life.
Older folks know that the year
Is bound to bring happiness and re-
lief to those who are now bearing
sorrow and trOuble.-Mrs. J. e.
Leslie. in the Detroit News.

NEW YEARS THEN AND NOW.

AS long as people can remember,
there have been New Year parties.
The old Romans gave theirs in honor
Of Janus. the twO-faced god. One
face looked back at the old, spent
year, and one face looked forward to
the new, fresh year. They gave pres
ents to him and to each other with
the hope that the new year would be
good to them. Some Of the people who.
lived long ago waited until the end OF
March to celebrate the New Year,
since that was the time that the trees
and grass began new life.
