/■pHE New Year begins precisely at
A midnight, and almost everyone now
adays sees the New Year in by general
festivities and ninny good resolutions,
which are promptly forgotten on Jan
uary 2.
The festivities marking this occasion,
says Herewurd Carrington, scientist
and author, are very ancient, and in
old Saxon days it was the custom to
partake of a bowl of spiced ale, which
was passed around with the expression
“Wasshael,” which meant “to your
health!” Hence the origin of the Was
sail, or Wassel bowl.
We now keep New Year on Jnnunry
the first; but the Chinese, Jews, Turks
and many others do not observe It on
this day. Even Christian countries have
not always so observed it; the Romans
begnn the year with the March
equinox. The later Teutonic nations
for a long time continued counting the
beginning of the year from March 25.
It was only in 1563, by an edict of
Charles IX, that France changed the
time of the beginning of the year to
January 1. In 1000 Scotland made
the same change, and England only
did so in 1752, when the Gregorian
system was adopted there. It will
thus be seen that the New Year, ob
served on January 1, is relatively new,
though we are accustomed to think
that it dates back from time im
memorial.
It was Julius Caesar, in the yenr
46 B. C., who first reformed the calen
dar—aided by the Egyptian astronomer
Sosigertes. He made it a few minutes
too long, and a second correction was
necessary. Pope Gregory made cer
tain changes in 1582, A. D., and ad-
aitlonn! minor changes were made later
on, from the “old style” to the “new
style” calendar.” We now employ the
new style.
After the F/cneh revolution France
decided to eot up an entirely new or
der of tilings. A new calendar was
made. The Christian era was wiped
out, and was replaced by the new
French era, beginning September 22,
1792. Instead of our week of seven
days, a week of ten dnys was estab
lished—in accordance with the decimal
system—the tenth day being set aside
for rest.
Instead of the mythological names
of the months, others deduced from
the prevailing seasons of the year were
substituted.
Everything was to be based upon
reason! The Notre Dame was con
verted into a “Temple of Reason.”
ttme. Momero, the young and beautiful
wife of a Jacobin printer, was chosen
to represent “Reason.” And so it
went.
The months were chosen and given
French names which were thought to
be characteristic of them. Thus,
autumn had a vintage month, a foggy
month and a sleety month. Winter,
a snowy month, a rainy month and
a windy month. Spring, a budding
month, a flowery month and a pasture
month. Summer, a harvest month, a
hot month and a fruit month.
Each month began somewhere be
tween the 18th and the 22nd—accord
ing to our reckoning. Thus the first
month of the autumn trio began on
September 22, and lasted until Oc
tober 21, etc.
With the reatoration of a stable
government in France, this calendar
was repealed, and the usual one sub
stituted. But for a time, as we have
seen, New Year day did not begin on
January 1, in France, so late as the
last century, and it does not begin
on that date in non-Christian coun
tries even today 1

S [ New Year ^Wishes
By CHRISTOPHER O. HAZARD
( rj> r^>
11 Roar’s Hm i
liiiiiEiiiiiiiiiil
And here wo stnnd to say “Good-by t”
Brief wordH—mul yet wo scarce known why,
They brim; a moist lire to the eye,
And to tlm heart some quuketi und aches 1
We speak them very tenderly,
With half u soh ami half a »lj;h—
“Old Year, g-ood-byl Ohl Year, good-by l M
—W. K. Burleigh.
TJTERE wo stand again on the
borderland of Welcome and
Good-by. There Is so little be
tween them and so much either
side of them.
When the great bell of time
strikes the midnight hour, and
1922 passes into the land of long
ago, there is one simple resolu
tion that we can ail make with
pretty good surety that we cniP
keep it till the next midnight
chimes—thut we will lie a better
man or woman in the next year
than in the last.
That won’t be n hard resolution
to fulfill in some degree, anil if
everyone is even a little better,
there will he a heap more good
ness, kindness, success and love
in the world when 1923 rings'out
that there is now.
The untried yenr brings with It
another chance* for all—a chance
to make good where we have
failed—a chance to benefit by
what we have counted as failures
in the yeur that is passing out.
The old year has been a difficult
one for many. Some have lost
heart. The new year, which gives
promise of so much that is better,
will bring new courage and hope
to them.
If we can let the unhappy part
of the past year go with it, anil
only remember the good, It will
help toward all that is best in the
new.
One of the best ^ings that we
can hope for the untried year Is
that it will he n busy one for
everybody. Work is the best pro
moter of goodness and bafipiness,
and the best cure for trouble and
sorrow that there is.
When the solemn, happy bells
“ring out across the snow,” let
them ring out with them the bad
things und ring In all that is good
and true anil beautiful that is
within the power of each one
of us.
