NEW YEAR'S DAY Now Ycar'B Day io tha flrat day of the year. The custom of celebrating by some religious obaervance, gen erally nccotlipttnled; by festive re joicing, the flrat duy of the year, op pears to have prevailed among most of the undent nations. The Jewn, the Egyptians the Chinese, the Romans, and the Mohummcdans, although dif fering as to tlio time from which they reckoned the commencement of the year, all regarded It as a day of special Interest. Iu Rome, the year anciently began In March; and when Numa, according to tho ancient legeud, traus furred It to the 1st of January, that day was held sncred to Janus Blfrons, who was thus supposed to (urn at once back upon tho old year and forward Into tho new. On the establishment of Christianity, the usage of a solemn inauguration of the New Year was retained; bill considerable variety pre vailed, both as to the Umo and as to tho manner of Its celebration. Christ mas Duy, the Annunciation (25th of March), Easter Day, and 1st March, havoall.at different times or places, shared with the M of January the honor of opening the New Year; nor wnst it till late lu tho 16th c, that the 1st of January was universally ac cepted as the first day of the New Year. The early fathers Chrysotom, Ambrose, Augustine, Peter Cbrys- ologua, and others In reprobation of the Immoral and superstitious ob servances of the pngaa festival, pro hibited in Christian Ubo all festive celebration; and, on tho contrary, di rected that the Christian year should be opened with a day of prayer, fast lug, and humiliation. The mandate, however, wan but partially observed, Tho festal character of the day, gen erally speaking, w8 pertiuachualy preserved, but the day wns also ob served as a day of prayer; aud this charucter was the mora readily at tached to It when the year began with the 1st or January, as that day, being the clgth day of the nativity of our Lord, was held to bo the commemora tion of (be circumcision. Luke II. 21. The social observances of the first day of the New Year appear to have been Jti substance the same In all ages. From the earliest recorded celebration, we find notice of feasting and the In terchange, of presents as usages of the day. Buetonlus alludes to the bring ing of presents to the capital; and Tacitus makes a similar referonco to tno practice of giving and receiving New Year's gifts. This custom was continued by tho Christian kingdoms Into which the "Vesteru Empire was divided. In England we And many examples of it, oven as a part of the public expenditure of the court, so far down as the reign of Charles II. and, ua all our antiquarian writers men tion, the custom of Interchanging presents was common In all classes of Boolety. In Franco and England it still subsists, although eclipsed In the Utter country by the still more popu lar practico of Christmas gifts. In many countries, the night of New Year's Eve, 'St. Bylvester's Eve," was celebrated with great festivity, which was prolonged, till after 12 o'olock, when the New Year was Hshered In with congratulations, com Wlmeulary visits, and mutual wishes for a happy New Year. This is an ano'ent Scottish custom, which also prevails in many pans oi uermmiy, Where the form of wlsh'Ptoat tfor !!ii Li prd?U).NejlJar. v ft Vi.ftr be uanuy" auuicieuiiy Naur ..ito-ia tin amtlmiltv of the custom, In many plaoes the practice of tolling bellh at tHldnlght, and tuu. ."rioilnk In the New Year" U "till observed.

Aud tho simple German farmers who comprise what is now known as the Methodist Hill district are no less enthusiastic for the welfare ot their neighbors and their church than the Illustrious Emperor in whose domains they were born. Our own President, Theodore Roose velt, has said that the Germans are among the beetclllzens that have ever steppod upon American soil. Honest, industrious and patriotic, thn German has played no smull part in the development of our great nation America. Tho prariesof Nebraska and Kansas were considered worthless until Ger man eL'ergy and German stability put the hand to the plow and trans formed that vast scope of country into the "Paradise of the West." Like their brethren in Nebraska and Kansas, the Germans who two years ago settled in the vicinity that is now known ns Methodist Hill, will, in due time, faro- well and bo couted among tho moBt prosperons farmers aud best citizens in Central Oregon. This was evidenced at their Christ mas celebration laStHaturday svening. The German MethodiBt Church was crowded from the platform to the door, even our American friends being in evidence throughout the large au dlence. Not one left the building without having shared in the liber allty of thn church. It would be unjust to mention such a well rendered program without giving due credit to the pastor, Rev E. J. Tragllo, to whoso UntlHng en ergy is due tho success of the occasion The tree was so well decorated and the numbers so well rendered that no one could And cause for criticism Tho boisterous stamping and whistling that is usually a prominent feature at such entertainments was not in evi dence here, as the pastor had in the opening aonouueembut Informed the audience that such was against the policy of the church and would not be permlttedi The cornet duets ot Rev. Tragllo and .Mr. Rlcheu were especially well re ceived, as was also the song by the male Quartet, which consisted of Messrs. R. Strnsser, L. Aronsmeier, 0 Strasser and J. A. Hoffmann. Mr. C. Strasser made the closing speech aud presented to the pastor, in behalf of tho church, a neat purse, a token of appreciation for the untiring services rendered iu the past year. J. A. II. THE BO OH THE FAEM. A good way to interest a boy in farm life is to lot him raise some special crop, something he can take caro of, harvest and sell hlmsolf. There are aJ number of special crops a boy can handle to advantage and from which he can derive a good profit for the time spent.
