ROUND THE REGION.
The Delaware and Hudson Company
has purchased the William A. colliery,
located at Duryea and owned by the
Connell Coal Company. Negotiations
for the other collieries owned by this
company are under way. Options have
been given by John Jerniyn on the
Jermyn mines Nos. 1 and 2 in Rendliam,
Lackawanna county.
Many persons have had the experience
of Mr. Peter Sherman, of North Strat
ford, N. H., who says, "For years I
suffered torture from chronic indigestion,
but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure made a woll
man of me." It digests what you oat
and is a certain cure for dyspepsia and
every form of stomach trouble. It gives
relief at once even in the worst cases,
and can't help but do you good, dro
ver's City drug store.
A number of Centralia young men, in
celebrating Christmas, plunged the
town in darkness. They smashed
twenty-two street lamps. Four plate
glass windows of business houses were
also broken, while a number of fences,
porches and doors were battered down.
Help is needed at once when a per
son'.s life is in danger. A neglected

lung troubles, drover's City drug store.
The strike at the Enterprise colliery,

When the stomach is tired out it must

It is the only preparation that digests
all kinds of food, drover's City drug

NEW YEAR DIVINING.
CURIOUS CUSTOMS CONCERNING
MATRIMONY.
Te*fn of the Voting Folkn In Various
ConiitrlrM to Determine How Soon
They Wo aid Wed—The Sunimm<l<l
Hin K —The Ten Teat.
ON TIIE principle of beginning
the year well it has been cus
jlH 111 ii tomary in many countries to
select New Year's day as most
auspicious for matrimony, and indeed
a remnant of this custom is found
among ourselves, for no day is more
highly favored in this regard than the
Ist of January, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. In some countries
the weddings of the year are all ar
ranged with a view to their celebration
on Jan. 1, and by a curious contradic
tion, in Slum and some mountain dis
tricts in India, the year's funerals are
also celebrated on the first day of the
succeeding year. Temporary interments
take place a day or two after death,
but on the first day of the following
January the remains of those who died
during the year are borne to their last
resting place, the funeral feasts are
celebrated at the same time with the
weddings, and in the most literal man
ner the funeral baked meats do coldly
furnish forth the marriage tables.
Advantage is taken of the day by the
unmarried to ascertain how many years
will elapse ere the bonds of matrimony
are fixed upon them. The French peas
ant girl borrows her mother's wedding
ring and suspends it by a hair from her
Dwn head, holding it as near as possi
ble to the inner rim of a teacup. Then
she counts, as rapidly as may be, the
number of her own years. The trein
alousncss of her fingers causes the sus
pended ring to sway to and fro. An
other notes while she is counting the
number of taps of the ring on the tea
cup, and these betoken the years of
single blessedness that lie before her.
In the country districts of Germany
and England there is a tea and coffee
test, which has the merit of limiting
the years to a number so reasonable
that any girl should feel satisfied with
the result. As conducted, according to
Gunter, this test is as follows: A tea
spoon is carefully balanced on tlie edge
of a cup; then another spoon is partly
filled with tea or coffee, which, drop
by drop, is allowed to fall in the bowl
of the balanced spoon, until the bowl
outweighs the handle and the spoon
falls into the cup. The merit of this
divination lies in the fact that oue or
two good sized drops will destroy the
balance and cause the spoon to fall,
and, on this account, spoon divination
is in high favor among the rural belles.
The custom of visiting and of send
ing presents and cards on New Year's
day is so ancient that the historian of
social customs does not record a time
when in some form it did not exist.
COUNTING TIIE TAPS.
The practice of using visiting cards
has been known among the Chinese for
thousands of years. The Chinese New
Year's card is a curiosity to the occi
dental, for Its mystic characters set
forth not only the name, but all the ti
tles, of the owner, and, as every China
man who Is anybody at all has a dozen
or two, tlie curd assumes the form and
something of the dimensions of a wall
inap. When sent to an acquaintance,
however, this valuable token, made
either of line paper backed with cloth,
or of silk, is not retained, but is re
turned by special messenger, and the
day after New Year's the spectacle of
crowds of servants, their arms full of
iolls of paper or cloth, hurrying to and
fro in the streets, is too common to
excite remark. They are not on their
way to a school of geography. They
are only returning New Year's cards.
Whole volumes have been filled with
the novelties of New Year's customs
and the usages which in different parts
of the world characterize the day. In
Persia colored eggs are sent as pres
ents, as with us at Easter. Through
out all Europe the wassail cup, in one
form or another, is a feature of the
day. In old times one cup of gigantic
size served the entire company, and
when a man rose and took the huge
vessel in both hands to drink to the
guests a trusted friend rose with him
and with drawn sword stood by his
side lest he should be traitorously stab
bed in the breast while drinking. In
France the New Year's day corre
sponds pretty closely in its social ob
servance to our Christmas. In Russia
at every country house there are pro
cession and feast in honor of the day,
horses, cows, sheep and hogs being
gayly dressed with garlands and led to
the landlord's house. An essential part
of the programme is that the animals
shall be taken into the dining room
but when the landlord does not care to
have a nine apartment spoiled by this
human and beastly procession he fits
up a large room on the ground fioor
with tubles and benches.
JAPANESE MOCHI MAN.
He Is the Santa Clans of Japan and
Appears on New Year's.
The great event of the New Year is
the arrival of the uioclii man, who is a
tolerably fair substitute for Santa
Cluus. His coining is quite as myste
rious also, as no child knows whence
he comes or where he goes. However,
at some hour of the day or night before
the Ist of January he arrives, not with
the jingle of sleighbells or the clatter
of noisy hoofs upon the roof, for a Jap
anese house is chimney less. Therefore
the mochl man is obliged to enter
through the shoji (paper windows),
which he does so openly and so vaunt
ingly as to do away with all that fas
cinating unreality that In its investi
ture of our king of the holiday revels
is so precious to the little ones. Never
theless the children go to bed at the
appointed h<*ur New Year's eve, and
the little bias eyes try to go to sleep,
but Instead of reaching the "Land of
Nod" the small people usually arrive
at "Wldeawakeville."
At last the mochl man announces his
presence by dashing a heaping handful
of rice and beans into the face of the
supposed to be sleeping child, and this
is the signal for a midnight frolic. The
throwing of rice and beans at this hour
and upon this occasion has been con
sidered from time immemorial a desire
on the part of the thrower to express
three wishes for the good of the re
ceiver. These wishes are respectively
that he may have good luck and hap
piness the coming year and that he
may be at "outs" with the oni (devil)—
far from inappropriate symbolisms to
be woven into a New Year's greeting.
The mochi man always brings with
him an infectiously cheery confusion
of earthen cooking stoves and earthen
vessels to boll mochl in. This tooth
some edible is mixed, boiled, stirred,
cooled and stuffed before the very eyes
of the youngsters, and finally it is
evolved into a glutinous rice cake. In
the beginning of its preparation, which
is somewhat complicated, it Is worked
übout in a wooden bowl with a bam
boo stick until it looks much like strain
ed honey. All this Is aggravatingly
sweet to the nostrils of the onlookers,
who can scarcely wait until the mochi
man treats them. Meanwhile this pa
tron saint creates much laughter by his
funny antics and beguiles the waiting
time with still funnier stories of New
Year's when he was a little lad.

Egyptian New Year.
The Egyptian year began with the
rising of the star Sirius, and consisted
of 30") days. There were 12 months
of 30 days each, and at the close of the
year five days were Intercalated. All
reckoning was by this year; the festi
vals were celebrated by it, and as a
consequence, like the Itoman festivals
of later times, circled around from one
season to another on account of the
omission from the calendar of the
quarter day. Notwithstanding this
omission the Egyptians seemed to have
known that the addition of a quarter
of a day each year was necessary in
order to keep a correct measurement
of time, which they called their "So
thiac cycle." This cycle was a period
of 1,401 vague or 1,400 true years, and
was called "Sothiac" because Its begin
ning was fixed at a date when the dog
star, known by the Egyptians as So
thls, rose with the sun on the Ist
Thoth, which was the commencement
of their year. This rising of Sirius and
the sun on the Ist of Thoth took
place in the years B. C. 2782 and B. C.
1322 and also in 138 A. D.
Hard on tlie Old Man.
There are divers manners of forming
resolutions for the new year that are
always put into practice, and all have
their devotees, even if the turning over
of a brand new leaf only lasts a week.
There is one system of starting the
new year, however, that has lost at
least one devotee for all time in New
Orleans. About 2 o'clock last New
Year's morning, after the usual uslier
iug in of the new year and as the fam
ily was about to retire, the head of the
house told of an old custom that was
iu vogue when he was a boy. lie ex
plained tlint in liis boyhood everybody
would open the Bible at random on the
first of the year and the first text his
eye should rest on would be a guide
for his conduct during tlie comiug year.
The custom found ready acceptance,
and one young hopeful produced a
Bible, and, letting it fall open, his fin
ger fell on the following text from
Zechariali, chapter i, 2: "The Lord
hatli been sore displeased with your
fathers." It is needless to say that no
other member of the family was coaxed
to try the old custom.—New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
The Norseman's Calendar.
The ancient Norsemen reckoned by
winters, and the beginning of their
year was probably dated from the 16th
of October. The festival in honor of
Thor was held in midwinter, about
our Christmas time, and in fact was
the origin of the Christian holiday
merrymaking. We get the names of
at least three, if not four, of the days
of the week from the Norse gods of the
Odin religion. Tuesday is from Tlr or
Diss-dny, on which tlie offerings to fate
were made and the courts of justice
held; Wednesday is from Woden or
Odin, one of tlie Norse trinity; Thurs
day or Thor's day, from Tlior, the
chief of tlie trinity, and Friday is
from Frigg, another of the niiuor dei
ties of the trinity.

*• irviir*
' w'IEAIvTY expressions of good
wishes for a happy and pros-
WmM Perous New Year are the greet
ing for this season. Hut, if we
may credit our English forbears, we
may for ourselves forecast the general
aspect of tlie next 12 months, says the
Detroit News-Tribune. It is pleasant
to be foolish sometimes, and a few
minutes with the folklore and ancient
customs of our ancestors cannot be
time ill spent
From a valuable manuscript in the
library of Trinity college, Cambridge,
we learn that if the New Year com
mences on a Sunday
The winter shall be good, I say,
Hut great winds aloft shall be;
The summer shall be fine und dry;
By kind skill and without loss
Through all lands there shall be peace;
Good time for all things to be done,
But he that stealeth shall be found soon.
What child that day born may be
A great lord he shall live to be.
And again, with regard to the weath
er, note carefully the atmospheric
conditions of the first 12 days of the
year. They will give you an unfailing
indication of what weather to expecl
during the coming 12 months.
You are strongly advised never to
lend anything on New Year's day, or
you are sure to be unlucky the whole
year through. Don't pay anything,
either, for it is said
Fay away money on New Year's day,
And all the year through you'll have money to
pay!
But by far the most general super
stition is that of the "first foot," it
being everywhere acknowledged that
the fortune of a house entirely depends
on the appearance and the sex of the
first person crossing the threshold aft
er the midnight hour has passed. It is
hard to see what Judas Iscariot has to
do with Christmas, but tradition as
serts that Judas, in addition to his
sins, was possessed of a monstrous
crop of hair. Therefore no redheaded
person or even one of fair complexion
must place "first foot" in a house on
this momentous morning. The ques
tion of complexion, however, is not al
together a settled one. In many places
it is a fair and not a dark man who
should place "lirst foot."
This harbinger of fortune must eat
and drink when in the house and
should, to make the charm most com
plete, enter by the frout door, visit
every room, carrying a piece of holly
in ills hand, and make his exit by the
rear.
If the question of complexion is un
settled, that of sex is decidedly not.
No female under any circumstances
must be the first to enter a house on
New Year's morning.
The Tulile* Turned.
"We air here tonight," said the dea
con, "to make good resolutions fer the
new year, which has fell foul of us in
the twiuklin of a eye. Now, I want to
start the ball a-rolliu. You all know
that I've got a high temper, an I've did
considerable flghtin in the year that's
past an gone like a man that owes you
$lO. What I want to do is to swear off
from flghtin in the new year, which,
as I have said before, has fell foul of
us. But I can't stop till I lick Brother
Jones, cos it's in me to lick him, an I
wants to ease my conscience. Ef he'll
jest step outside with me fer five min
utes, I'll lick him an then swear off for
good."
They retired to the outer darkness,
but in less than five minutes the deacon
returned, much the worse for wear.
"I can't swear off this time, brother
in," he said. "lie licked me!"— Atlanta
Constitution.
Much to I-earn In the Now Your.
Ail beginnings are important and
significant, but the true eras are not in
the calendar, but in the heart. The
new year's beginning—the realnewyear
of grace and obedience, with their re
sulting gift of peace—is not an arbi
trary period, but the hour of inward
choice, when the will of man gives up
the helm Into the hand of Christ. In
that new year there must be much to
learn and suffer, but there shall be
more to win and to enjoy.
The New Year.
A royal welcome, baby year,
The first of the century new,
Yet for the old we drop a tear,
E'en while we are welcoming you,
In memory dear of the dead old year
Who left us a friendship or two.
Our hopes are with thee, young one,
Such hopes as have weathered the blast,
Of fame tins year or fortune won,
Withheld from us waiting the last,
Some great task done, last year begun
Or planned in our dreums of the past.
Fair child, there's one at lenst who praya
That thou mayst bring less sorrow,
Bring fewer long and weary days
And more like the blessed tomorrow,
With longing gaze at sunset rays,
So twet t from the future to borrow.
