The following superstitions in con uectiou with New Year arc still believed in various parts of England, Ireland. Scotland and Wales: On New Year's morning go to a well or fountain and leave an apple and nosegay. and the water will keep fresh and be more wholesome all the year. If a dark complexioued man crosses your threshold first vu New Year's day. you will bo prosperous; if a blond, unluck} 7 , and if a redheaded 'man dire disaster will surely follow. Before locking the door for the night on New Year’s eve place a gold coin near it and let it remain there until the churchhells ring the next morning. and yon will have plenty of money all that year. So strong is the belief in this last adage in some places that dark complexioued men are paid a small gratuity to call early and walk through the first floor of the bopse, entering by the hack door and leaving by the front.—Exchange. A Pal of Thieves, During the progress of a lord may or’s show some thieves were about to appropriate the watch and chain of a gentleman in Fleet street. While the robbery was in progress one of the gang, recognizing that their victim was a banister who had defended them at-the Old Bailey, called out: “All right! he's a pal!" and with a cherry salute the barrister, was al lowi d to retain his property. —Lou Uou Tit-Bits. a, A Truthful ITttliKriuun. “Just throw me half a dozen of the biggest of those trout,” said a citizen to the fish dealer. “Throw them!" queried the dealer. “Yes, and then I’ll go home and tell my wife I caught ’em. I may bo a poor fishennau, but I'm no liar.”— Pick Me Up.

MASSACHUSETTS’ NATIONAL B13D, It 1 0 the Coilflnli, uml GIt»nce»ter Im the I'lHdfl to Contemplate It. I No city or town in New England is more unique or more interesting than the old fishing port of Gloucester, on Cape Ann. This quaint city la the place which supplies nearly all America with its suit cod, and to see the miles of enormous hogsheads along its wharves filled with salted layers of this cosmopolitan fish is enough to make one thirsty for a week. Gloucester is less than an hour’s ride from Boston by way of Salem on the? ; Gloucester branch of the Boston and Maine railroad, eastern division, and j if one wishes to get a genuine smack of seaport and fishing port life, and see where the country store codfish is “made up," let him take a day's : outing and visit this salty metropolis i of Cape Ann. Best of all, let part of the distance bo traversed afoot. Let the tourist, pilgrim do ns I did—leave the cars at Magnolia and walk the remaining five or six miles along the shore to Gloucester. Wo went, last of all, to see the famous wharves. Here wo found hundreds of fishing schooners unloading. The fish, which had lieeu cleaned and sliced during the voyage, were being tossed out of the holds and Up on tho wharves by men with pitchforks. A great tub for each vessel, swinging by chains and connected with a 400 pound weight, received the fish as tossed nil, and when the weight flow up the amount was registered by a man with a pencil and account book in his hand. Then tho pieces of fish were tossed into a dory filled with water, where they were washed by eight or ten men with blacking brushes—forever innocent of blacking, let us hope—and: thence transferred to waiting bar-; rows, in which they were wheeled tof rows of hogsheads at tho hack part of the wharf and packed away with layers of salt. At another paid of each dock were long rows of drying frames, where fish that had been im--perfectly cured while on tho voyage’ might be spread and exposed to air and snn. When one takes into account the miles of these fishing docks and the thousands of pounds of cod that are packed at each every day, he wonders how the finny inhabitants of the deep can hold out against such wholesale depletion. Yet tho “catch" was never larger than it has been this year, and tho old fishermen say that there seems to bo no sign of the beds giving out. A quaint city, yet a practical and progressive one, is Gloucester—a city of wealth mid of culture, too. with fine churches and schools and many beautiful residences and public buildings. There is a historic charm about the place, and its uniqueness and tho peculiar character of its leading industry give it a quaint prestige and interest to the traveler.—Zion's Herald. The Value of a Story. “I know a stamp collecting fiend," said Carl Becker to the corridor man at the Lind ell, “who never tires of disputing the correctness of the oft repeated statement that used stamps, have no value and that the million stamp charity story is a myth. Ho carries around with him a written offer of £ 1 00 for 1,000,000 stamps and shows it with great dee. Any man who wants to get rich should avoid filling an order of this kind if ho gets one, because to collect 1,000,000 stamps it is necessary to secure more than 300 a day for 10 years, without even resting on Sunday. To get this number daily would take r.t least half a man's time, unless ho happened to have access to the waste basket of a very large firm, and for his reward ho would get just §10 a I year, waiting, however, 10 years for | pay day. Under these cireuiftstances it seems pretty safe to offer §100 for 1.000,000 stamps, forno one acquainted with principles of arithmetic would be very likely to spriously consider the proposition."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Thu IU„H f iire. Two gentlemen on a train were seated behind a young girl and an elderly woman. One of the men offered to bet that he could kiss the girl without her objecting. The bet was taken. It so happened that tho girl was suffering from neuralgia in the face, and she continually pressed her hand to her cheek to allay the pain. The gentleman who had made the wager sympathized with her and said that lie could cure the ailment by a touch. "Allow me to kiss your cheek once, and the pain will disappear, ” said the oscillator}' young man. The girl objected, stating that she would sooner go to an infirmary. It was then her companion spoke up, "Say, Maggie, let the gentleman kiss your cheek, and if it takes away neuralgia maybe he can cure my rheumatism."—Boston Home Journal.
