Climate and Appetite.

In Russia, Sweden and Norway, where
prolonged and biting winters necessi-
tate action and large supplies OF animal
heat, meals are frequent and of great
duration. Five hearty repasts per diem,
among which dinner is the chief one, are
the common allowance in those North
ern localities. This principal meal is
heralded by cold collation., partaken
en- route for the dining-room. In q
small ante-room the guests pause before
a small table spread with articles crea-
i've of appetite and thirst, such as red
herring, sardines, caviare, cheese, sharp
pickles and arrack, the native whisky.
Thus stimulated, much larger repast is
made than would otherwise be possible.
When this custom, however, is intro
duced regardless of climatic require
ments, it is prone to conduce to slug
gishness, as in some parts of Germany.
Again, the glowing mother earth and
ardent skies of Italy furnish her chill
dren with their best personalities
against their combined intensity of heat.
Fruits and salads, succulent, refreshing,
cooling, form the national breakfast and
the chief staple of other meals, being
freely partaken of with results which
might be much less favorable under
cooler sky. Nature, amidst these won
drous adaptations, is not neglectful of
the needs of animals, as may be briefly
instanced by a Norwegian custom.
Within the Arctic circle, where the
winters are long twilight, and the
highlands SO barren that people subsist
upon bread made from the tender bark
of the birch-tree, the cattle are fed upon
dried fish caught In those stored fiords,
whose waters, the Fortunatus purse of
Norway, stretch far inland by dusky for
ests of pine. Hdrper's MGoaSine.

A Strange Wedding Fee.

A Clergyman who was formerly located
in this city, but is now in New York,
married, little over q year ago, a couple
who ct once started for Europe and have
recently returned. The bridegroom was
a gentleman of wealth, and before he
presented himself before the bridal altar
he placed a 800 greenback in his vest
pocket to give the parson for tha mar
riage fee, and did pay it to him, as he
supposed. While crossing the ocean he
discovered, greatly to his establishment,
the bill in the pocket where he placed it.
and could account for it's presence there
only on the theory that he must have
had another bill of different denomi-
nation which he had donated to the
clergyman by mistake.
On getting back to this country he de-
termined to solve the mystery, and waited
upon the reverend gentleman, who did not
recognize him, and inquired if on certain
date he did not marry certain couple.

Stunning a Lawyer.

A French lawyer, who has figured with
s0me distinction in the National Assem-
blies of the Republic, has given de-
scription of his debut in the following
terms:
I was young and unsuspecting when l
pleaded my first cause. 1t was that of a
peasant charged with stealing watch.
The papers in the case, the insuficiency
of the evidence, and, above all, the air
of the accused-which was that of a
good man-had convinced me of the in
nocence of my client. I pleaded with all
the warmth of soul which could be in
spired by this strong faith, and gained
an acquittal. Once free, he cast his arms
around me.

well. My children shall be taught to
bless you. There is one more service
which you should do for me. .
s'What is it?
ssDig up the watch for me-
"Dig up the watch for you?''
"Certainly. You understand that they
will keep their eyes on me, while you, in
your promenade, can dig it up with your
little cane, and return it to me.
Miserable wretch! Then, of course,
you are guilty?"
"Whatl didn't you know it? Ii /

4 BIG ORGAN.
Baltimore's rrodigions Musical Instru

BaItimore's rrodigious Musical Instru-
ment.
Mr.. Thomas Winans, the Baltimore
millionaire, proposes to build an in
mense organ at his private residence.
The building in which tits organ will
be built is situated I'D the northwestern
angle of Mr.. Vino as spacious grounds
within short distance of the wall at the
western boundary Of the enclosure. 1t
is Quilt OF brick, and the entire struct-
ure viii be used for the case of the
organ. When it is desired to have the
music heard through the grounds and
IN the neighborhood, the windows can
be opened, and the melodious sounds
will be distinctly audible for mile.
Closing the heavy iron shutters upon
the windows will confne the sound in
all it's power within the compass of the
ergan room. The organ pipes, between
5000 and 1000 in number, will range
in size from thirty-one feet high, and
two feet by two feet six inches in diane
ter, down to pipe few feet i'll length
and about one-fourth of an inch in di-
ameter. There will be five banks of
keys, each operating q separate set of
pipes, as follows The choir organ, the
swell, the solo and the high pressure.
The number of stops will exceed 200.
The air supply for the organ will be by
means of new process, which is the
invention of Mr.. Winans. Instead of
the old blowing apparatus, the wind is
supplied from tanks, which contain over
200 cubic feet of air each, which is
forced into the tanks by means of pump,
and is again forced into the organ by
the weight of the heavy iron tanks,
which operate upon the same principal
as gasometers. - d|
Only one of the pipes has been placed
in position, and it's size may be better
understood when it is stated that it is
nearly as large as an ordinary sized Chin
ney, and towers above mans head after
the fashion of telegraph pole. All the
large pipes will be constructed of wood.
They will be arranged in a row, with the
small ones near the performer, and the
rest rising tier after tier to the large ones.
This enables the observer to have all the
pipes in view at once.
Thus far Mr.. Winans' work upon the
organ has been only experimental, and
he has not yet fully determined upon the
time when the actual work of construc-
ton will be commenced; but his expert
ments have been SO thorough that the
space of a few months is all that will be
necessary for the completion of the organ
when once begun When completed,
Mr.. Winans' organ will be the largest in
America. - Baltimore Gazette.

Shaking Hands, Bowling and Salnting

Acts of courtesy may be merely con-
ventional, or they may be the outward
manifestation of the higher inward cour-
tesy. The grasp of the hand had mall prob

referred to, when war was the normal
state, and man little better than fight

companied preferred friendship; each
therefore grasped the weapon hand OF

The other idea of clasping hands was un-
doubtedly that of fastening together in

presses it; and he goes on to trace the
etymology of the word peace to this &C
ton, finding it in tie Sanscrit "pac," to
bind. 1t is now piece of convention
atty to take off the glove before shaking
hands with a lady; but this custom began
in the days of chivalry, when the glove

uncover the head, never having worn

courtesy shown to women, dating from
the age of chivalry, arose not merely
from the tenderness of the strong toward
the weak, but also from the recognition
of something divine in womanhood. A

sordid self-seeking and hardness of heart

The Status Of senator Ferry.

A resident of Ann Arbor, Mich, In
considering the probability that Senator
Ferry would become President OF the
United States, by virtue of his position
as President of the Senate, in case OF
Gen. Grants death before the expiration
of his term, asks these questions:
1. Has Senator Ferry the right to call men,
Der to the chair, and take the floor and debate
the same as other members?
2. Can he hold the office of Senator while
acting as Vice-President
g. If not, is Michigan not entitled to another
Senator? IS '@.. -
/. Senator Ferry is not Vice President
of the United States, to which office
there is vacancy, but a Senator from
Michigan /; but the best opinion is that
he would succeed to the Presidency as
President of the Senate In the contin-
gency of Grants death before the expi-
ration of his term, though wea observe
that some of the Democratic Senators
hold that the Speaker Of the House would
become President.
Q. Senator Ferry, holding the tempo
rary position of President of the Senate,
does not lose his character Of Senator,
and has the same rights in debate or
otherwise as he would have if Vice-Pres-
ident Wilson were alive and he were
merely presiding in his absence.
8. There is no vacancy in the United
States Senate from Michigan, and there
fore Michigan is not entitled to another
Senator. If Gen. Grant were. to die
during his term, and Ferry were to be-
come President, there would then be a
vacancy which Michigan could fill. But
the United States Senate being a pern1a-
nent body, it is believed that it could
designate another of its members to act
as President of the Senate, and thus dis
place Senator Ferry, at any time it might
see fit, unless there should meanwhile
be vacancy in Grants place. The
Senator SO selected would then be Presi-
dent Of the Senate, and, by virtue of the
law as it stands now, would succeed to
the vacancy made by Gen. Grants death
The successorship is in Ferry until the
Senat selects some one else to act as
President Of the Senate. Chicago 1a'i-

The Day Of the Nativity,

,, One OF the most remarkable facts with
regard to the festival of the Nativity OF
Christ is, that not only is nothing au-
thentlc known, but there are absolutely
no historic data on which dependence
may be placed as to the time of year in
which it occurred. The earliest records
of the Church tell us that some commu-
mites of Christians observe the festival
on the first of January, while others cele-
brated the 25th of December. Others
again adhered to the 10Th of March, the
Jewish Passover, while others kept the
festival on the 29th of September, the
Jewish Feast of the Tabernacles. Many
writer's and chronologists are inclined to
accept the latter date as the true ami
versary of the Nativity, on the ground
that the shepherds were watching their
focks at night, which they were notike
ly to do In winter time, and because it
was in autumn that the assessments took
place under which the Jewish people
were taxed. But the 25th of December
and the 9Th of january have been almost
invariably the laws on which the Eastern
and Western Churches have respectively
observed Christmas. In connection
with this dispute as to the exact
date of Christmas there is a curious and
interesting incident recorded in connec-.
ton with the old legend of the Glaston-
bury Thorn, which, till a late day, was
supposed by the Somersets hire peasantry
to bud on Christmas Eve, and bloom on
Christmas Day. In the year 1853, there
had been considerable discussion con-
corning the date, or, as it was called, the
old and new style of Christmas. $ On
Christmas Eve (new style) a vast con-
course of people, says sheet OF that
day, 6 attended the noted Thorn, but, TO
their great disappointment, there was no
appearance of it's bio ring, which made
them watch it closely till the 9th of JAN
uary, Christmas Day (old style), when it
bowed as usual" But, in the fourth
century, the Eastern Church especially
began more strict and elaborate observ-
ance of Christian festivals, an example
which was soon followed by the Western
Church; and in time the midnight mass
was introduced in order to fifty and
religiously usher in the Christmas morn.
An old translation from the Latin Of
Naogeorgius thus alludes to the midnight
mass .# l9i
g Then comes the day wherein the Lord
Did bridge his berthe to passe;
Whereas at n1idnighte up they rise, E
And every man in masse.

A searching investigation as to the
correct date of the Nativity was eventu-
ally ordered by Pope Julius the First,
and the twenty-ffth day of December,
the day originally decreed as the ami
versarY of the birth of Christ by Pope
Telesphorus, in the year 1873, was accept
ed by all the Christian churches, with
the exception of the Armenians, who
continued, so late as the thirteenth CEN
tury, to observe the feasts of Christmas
and the Epiphany together on the 9th Of
January

THE LITTLE FOLKS.


The Little Brown Stocking.
Here is q little brown stocking,
Faded by many years,
Hidden among my treasures,
Stained with many teas;
It hung in chimney corner,
On d Christmas long ago,
Loaded with precious goodies,
Full from the top to toe.
Two chubby hands unloaded
The gifts of Santa Claus
Oh. how his black eyes spanked =.
And sureIy there was cause.
You see that little hole there?
There's where a horse was tied
So heavy that it tore it,
And biz; enough to ride.
No soldier was ever prouder
With War-norse most superb,
Than he on his rocking pony,
WITH saddle, whip, and curb.
OBJ, that was the merriest Christmas
And he the jolliest boy,
AGd this is the sweetest memory
l sver shall enjoy!
The red leaves of the autumn
Lie dead above him now:
The prattling lips are silent,
HIS hands are cold as snow.
Naucht but the little stocking
Is left O. hat glad day;
The stocking and the memory
Are mine TO keep Away.
