|Ne,U Year "S,veari,sg Off" Ancient
Custom among Peoples Of World
Some Of First instances Relate to Vosvtng Not to Get
Drunh-Eiaborute Religious Ceremonies
Historic Among japanese.

The first day Of the New Year
brings to mind an old custom which
has been transmitted to us through
the elapse Of tho ages. called in these
modern times as "swearing-off-d day."
which Is said to have originated in
the twelfth century when the king
of France decreed that on a certain
New Year day the soldiers of his
army should vow to refrain from in
dulgence in strong drink for the COM
ing twelve months. But in these
times of national prohibition which
has relegated the "water-wagon" to
the scrap heap, the old stunt" of
swearing off" is heard Of no more.
In fact the old habit Of Swearing"
on the evening of the first day of
January has gone down before the
strenuous efforts of the Anti-Saloon
League.
The practice Of beginning the New
Year with good resolutions, however,
is very old. It really goes back to
the first years of recorded history.
With. the Japanese several hundred
years before Christ the New Year
resolution was quite a solemn affair,
marked by elaborate religious cere-
monies.

The microbe theory has evidently
not reached the ears of these children
of nature; at any rate they do not
trouble Themselves about anything so
absmuse, for one pitcher of water was
passed to any one whose thirst made
itself manifest, and I noticed how
carefully the leftover poi was
seraped out of the bowls, only to be
consumed later on by attendants.
1t was intensely fascinating to fol-
low their actions, and volumes could
be written about their various per-
sonalities; but one blind man, who
had lately taken unto himself wife,
much older than himself, and, per-
haps, an Indian squaS-, seemed to
mostly interest the few chosen spec
tators.
This worthy disciple of Hawaii
must have dieted especially for the
occasion. 1t was ludicrous to see him,
after he had finished his own portion,
reach over to his wife's side and slip
away big mouthful Of poi or pig.
She did not mind it until she observed
the attention it was causing, when she
gently demonstrated, and he very
courteously desisted from further ap-
preparations.

THINKS ELEPHANTS ONCE
BOAMED TROPICAL ENGLAND
Scientist Finds Relics of Great
Beasts and Flint Spears in
Dorsetshire.

London.-England 100000 years ago
was a tropical country in which the
inhabitants hunted elephants and 9TH
er animals of the warmer climates
with skillfully made weapons, in the
opinion of Maj A. G. Wade the Brit
ish archeologist. VINO has recently
made important discoveries in the
gravel pits near Farnham, Dorset
shire.
Among the relics brought to the
surface were the remains of mann
moths, an elephant, woolly rhinoceri
and beautifully made flint Instruments.
The finding of the remains of the
mammoth and the rhinoceri has no
bearing ON the climatic theory, ac-
cording to Major Wade, who said that
both had thick coats and could have
lived in a cold climate.
with the elephant" he said, "the
case is different He was not only a
warm-weather animal, but needed a
tropical climate"
The flint instruments consist Of
great hand axes oval-shaped discular
implements larger than mans hand
which were probably used for skin
ming and cutting up large animals,
and enormous spears of the paleolithic
age. According to Major Wade, the
persons who used them had attained
a much higher degree of civilization
than those of the neolithic period
who followed them.
Major Wade placed the age of his
discoveries at 100000 years, basing
his estimate on the depth at which
they were found under the gravel of
the old bed of the Wey river.

Think of a picnic on this day in our
climate-the thought is enough to in
duce chills
To my great regret 1 could not be
at two places at one time, and, as
there was another number on the
program for this day-a "luan" or
feast for INDECENT Hawaiians-I be-
took myself at an early hour of the
afternoon to Lunalilo Home to wit
ness the ceremony from beginning to
end.
Arriving in good season there was
opportunity for making various OBJ
servations.
The laying of table" is by no means
a neglected art with the Hawaifans.
A grassy strip of lawn is thickly COW
cred with "tie" pronounced teal and
fern leaves, plates and bowls are tied
up most dexterously with these tie
leaves, which are smooth and seem
particularly adapted to their various
needs.
The bowls were filled with "poi"-a
pasty substance prepared from the
taro plant, the latter being their
staple product, every part of which is
used for one dish or another: This
plant belongs to the caladium family,
and the butt only is used for this ma
tional dish.
Each plate contained a generous
supply of roast pig, which is, indeed,
rare delicacy, prepared after their
fashion. The modus operandi fol-
lows:
Odd Form of Oven.
An oven of stones is arranged out
of doors and heated, some powders,
also well heated, are placed inside of
the carefully prepared pig, the latter
is wrapped in tie leaves (the latter
imparting a fine flavor to the meat),
and the bundle entrusted for about
seven and a half hours to the slow
and steady heat Of this model stove.
The accessories to the pig and poi
were seaweed and a preparation Of
korkni nuts, very salty and a fine
relish to the poi, which is without any
seasoning and rather tasteless wary
ing in acidity from day to day as it
ferments); sweet potato was the
vegetable served.
After the vigorous ringing of a
large bell our old friends, lame, de-
crepit and many of them blind, but
( all decorated with leis (wreaths) filed
out and got into position. Sitting
down on the floor may be easy enough,
| but the getting down is a serious per-
Torrance for rusty joints, and it took
them some time before the weary
members would fold under properly.
A short prayer having been offered
by one Of their class, they all entered
the contest with vigor and relish
that did ones heart good.
As our native brethren believe in
loyalty to their ancient customs, their
fingers did service instead of modern
table appurtenances, and it was curl
Gus, as well as interesting, to observe
their etiquette.
Their poi was Of twO-fnger con-
sistency-that means that 1t was thin
enough or Of just such thickness that

was left to betray the previous loca-
ton of the festive board.
One Old native became ecstatic and
chanted to a child as though his very
souls existence depended upon keep
ing it UP without taking breath-the
little one, evidently being accustomed
to such demonstrations, did not seem
to mind the swapping of fingers, wav-
ing of arms and grinning and bowling
like one possessed. These chants are
called meles, or olioli, according to
the intensity or kind of emotion ex-
pressed.
