NEW YEAR WITH YANKEE DONS. *T J. M. SCANLAND, mHB Spanish Mexicans of Callfornln and the southwest celebrate their New Year's In tb? fUjKjfl same romantic and pastoral styl^hat their ancestors brought from the "mother country." This celebration Is not so replete with Acadian simplicity, however, ns In the Acadian days liefore the "Americanos'* came In such largo numbers. Iu those "good old days that come uo more" the dons led the customs of the country, and, though some of the forms are observed. the Rplrlt. charming simplicity and much of the genuine hospitality have goue with the actors who figured In these pretty scenes. Each village still lias Its holiday observances. In which re reproduced the beautiful customs Vj TITE LOTTRKY OK LOVFof the pnst generation. Their Christmas lasts until after New Year's. With their ancestors, however, life in this quiet and distant land was an almost perpetual Christmas. Now. as In former times, the villagers make presents more of a useful nature than otherwise, such as poultry. vegetables, fruits and perhaps sheep or an Andalusian pon.v. The return presents are of equal value. This fs n point of honor, ami to return n bauble to the donor of a valuable present would subject that person to endless ridicule. On New Year's day the principal don of the village or settlement gives a (rand dinner, to which everybody Is invited. And they generally come. The I ? ?U.. . t ? l.i 1 uuu 111 mi." uiui'ii ujivs m"iu ins major domo around with a. verbal invitation for everybody to honor the don by attending his annual New Year's dinner. Now there Is not so much formality. This dinner lasts nil day and the next or as long as any of the guests continue to honor the host by their presence. Tables are arranged under arbors, and the barbecued meats, the fruits, wines and other edibles which have beeu collected for tlie past week are ?erv?d by the pretty senoritas of the don's household, some of his numerous relatives of course assisting in dispensing the honors. During the day there are the usual horse racing, cocking mains ami perhaps a bullfight. The latter, however. Is not ro fashionable now as in the early and "good old days." In the evening the amusements lend off with what is called the "lottery of love." By this lottery it is determined who are to Im? sweethearts for the coming year. The name of each young lady present is written upon a slip of paper and placed In a box. and the name of each young man Is placed In another box. A little girl and a little |>oy are blindfolded, and each draws a panic simultaneously. The senor and aenorlta tints mated by chance are to i>e "compndros." or companions, for the year beginning with that evening. The acnor must accompany her to every feast. Indie or public* entertainment that takes place In the village or settlement. At least he must Invite her. end IT she refuse lie is ilicn at liberty fo Invite some one else. When the couple are not happily mated, this refusal Is usually the case, and, while |>otb understand that the Cupids have pilsmnted them, the formalities must |#e kept up nevertheless. After this lottery tlie halle, or "gran dance," is announced by tlie don, who In a few llowery compliments again ! thanks his guests, and the bnilc opens with a contra dance, the tirst step being a half turn to the right and embrace partners, the senor very delicately puffing ills arms around the senorltn 1 MM If about to waltz. This figure of the dance la omitted only when intimate friends compose tlio "set." It Is a very I ] pretty flgure. and the grace with which , .the senor makes a feint to embrace j | 0\e shy senorlta is captivating. fCasqticronls are still In vogue, and it ] Is* high compliment to a senor when 11 ; , fcouorlln crumbles one of these egg- , shells of gilt spangles and cologne over ?ila head. He must then ask her to | , dance with him. and. though she may ( j*fuse, be should ask again, for tliut Is , why she did It. Not to ask for n dance ; 1 In rrtnrn for this testimonial is con- : 1 aldercd to be n slight. ! f At tnldnlghr there Is a supper of ( prim, cases, wines and otner light del- | i Jcscles. The dnnco is resinned nnd t Continues until morning. When t|?e j festivities ore at the highest, the ens- | q Heron Is are brought Into notion more | tirelr. When they begin to fly liUe t snowballs, the senorltas also begin to c Jet down tbpir hair. As a rule tbe hair ? nt the senorlU Is as black ns night, and t It falls to her waist.

Tlic pari I cies or paper and eggshells are (liiMenlt to wood out; hence the senoritas let down their Imlr at the hegiuuing of the battle of cnsquerouls. It Is a very pretty custom, and this, with the lottery of love, will no doulit be coutinued in these settlements as long as there are enough descendants of the ancient dons to celebrate the day. (irprllnc the Mnv Ceutury. The wide discrepancy between the indications of various timepieces, which covers a range of perhaps a quarter of an hour, even In clocks which enjoy a reputation of being well regulated, naturally results In a rather ragged heginning of the welcome to the infant year. The early birds have the advantage In the total amount of noise produced, but their premature efforts are purely local In effect. The real symposium of hubbub does not make Itself heard until at the exact instant when the last minute of the dying year lias breathed its last. Then it rolls forth in chaotic volume, accompanied by engine whistles, bells, firecrackers, yells and every variety of born toot that lias ever been devised by the Ingenuity of man. It seems to endure for many minutes without an appreciable break, although there is nn linenn. tinned report that individual noisemakers have been known to stop for breath or to give their second wiud a good flying start. Chimes which in ordinary times are irresistible in sweetness can scarcely be heard on New Year's morning except by ears close to the belfry or during a lull in the babel of noises all around. A Success. "Was the wedding a success?" "I guess so. The bride's mother was in tears, the groom's mother went her one better and had hysterics, you couldn't hear a word of the ceremony, and the church was so crowded that three women fainted. Yes. it was a success all right."?Idfe. The Vnni|iirc llut. South America, especially Venezuela, is the home of the vampire bat, that horrible animal whose blood sucking propensities are so well known. In Venezuela the vampire when caught Is often made the subject cf an experiment that is as curious as it is <-rm?l. though lu connection with such n loath some nnimal as this giant hnt the cruel ty Is rather naturally lost sight of b\ the people who have to suffer from its ravages. The vampire is captured In a thiol, cloth. It is then taken out. and through Its two extended wings nails are drlv en, securing the animal to a door or a wooden paling. A cigarette is then lighted and placed in the hat's mouth At once t lie animal's eyes shine strangely, and it begins to puff the smoke in ami out with frenzied gasps Its actions being exactly those of the most hardened smoker, keeping firm hold of the cigarette the while between Its sharp, deadly teeth. When the elg nrette is nearly finished, a blow on Unbend puts an end to the animal's ex Istonce. The extraordinary part of tpe expert tnont lies In the fact that the hnt does not at once reject tlie cigarette, as he Is of course at liberty to do. There an many who affirm that tlie bat really does enjoy tlie tobacco. The probnbili ty Is that the animal is so maddened by fear and pain that lie puffs away unrcnsotiingly nixl liercely. his Instinct telling him that in the properties of the tobacco lies oblivion.

A , heavy steel wire curled into a hook at < each cud is sewed around the mouth 1 of the rack, excepting that the space t between the books shown as coaling 1 against the picker's body Is left vacant, there being nothing between the hooks but the cloth of the sack. The suspenders are fastened penna- , uently at the back and are crossed on ( the individual's back, brought over the i shoulders, and each lias a ring in the i end which is hooked into the curved I wire, as shown, thus suspending the 1 suck to the picker. The bottom of the '' sack as shown iu Fig. 1 is open and contains two rings at the bottom. These rings are connected when iu use to hooks at upper front rim of the | sack, as shown iu Fig. 2, where the picking sack is ready for business. When full, the picker lowers the sack into the box or barrel, unhooks tile llap. i and the apples gently slide from the bottom of 1110 sack Into the package, thus preventing all bruises. President i Wellliousc has made 27 of these sacks for use this year. i Fomko Plant* For Hitch Altitude*.
