DANCING ON CHRISTMAS EvE.-The
custom of dancing on Christn Is eve is very
old. 1t would be hard to say that it began
in 1912, but that is the first Christmas
lance on rec ,rl, an the circumstances at
tending it were as ram .rk .ble as they are
veil attested. Several young persons, so
the story goes, were swinging and dancing
in church yard on Carstm IS eve, and
their doin, so disturbed Father Robert,
priest who was saying mass in the church.
He asked them to stop, but the more he
begged the more they danced. Since they
would not cease dancing, Father Robert,
as the next best thing, prayed that they
might dance without ceasing, and so they
did for a whole year, feeling neither heat
nor cold nor hunger nor thirst nor weari-
ness nor decay of apparel but the ground
on which they danced, not having the
same miraculous support, wore away I'M
der them until they We're sunk up to the
middle. At the end Of the year the dane
ing was stopped by Bishop Hubsrt's CIV
ing the company absolution.

TEACHING CHILDREN COURTESY
Many mothers forbid their toddling chill
dren any intercourse with other little peo-
pie, because they supp 'se it is not time for
them t0:fnlly comprehend the courtesies Of
life. This is the very reason why they
should bestaugM to bs polite and consider
ate at the earliest possible moment. 1t is
very curious to Observe little people when
they first meet. Tney Usually look at each
other sharply but speculatively, and, after
proper elaboration, decide upon their line
of action. 1t is either war or peace, but
lmxy be but temporary, provided one pos
sezses that which the other eaYets. The
child who sees an article in annsher's pos
sesivsl imagines, vaguely perhaps, but posi-
tive1g, that it is necessary to its ewn wei
fare aad happiness; and instinct teaches
him to saizs it. Now this is not Mnfre-
quantlg set down as an objectionable sin,
and an omen Of future wickadneSs. Moth
ing can be more unjust AMI unreasonable.
1t is a characteristic, which, when prnpsr-
ly guided, will leld to honorable worldly
success. Mi,iirected or uncurbed, with
,ut b ing tau Elt proper reverence for
the golden rule, the young creature may
fall into positive crime. Malliness in a
boy corresponds with womanliness in a
girl; and the nobility Of uuselishness can
not be too early taught to children, nor
can this quality bs learned practically ua-
less association with other children is not
only encouraged, but used as a constant
habit of instruction. While teaching a
child to be polite, above all things avoid
permitting him to become obsequious. An
excess of politensss is real hyp 'crisy, and
leads to dangerous dsceits; or else craven
spirit enters the child, and this sort Of evil
sentiment is rarely. if ever, cast out, when
once in possession of the soul. Teach the
,ildren genuineness in the expression of
their ilkings, and forbearance in their dis
iikes-those great lessons of life. that can
be gained only by proper restraints over
their intercourse with companions of equal
age and c!rcumstances.-M Metropolitan

a Sorrowing Family.

! The fOllowin: special dispatch dated De
troit. Michigan, November 20, appeared il
the st. Louis s'Globe- Democrat of Satur
day:
In the contest over the woman suffrage
constitutional amendment in this State
last year ex-Congressman Randolph Strick'
land was quite conspicuous, acting as pre-.
! sident Of the State association part of the
time. His daughter also delivered series
of addresses upon the subject at different
points in Michigan, displaying cnnsidera-
BILE oraturical piqlancy and force. Within
the last few days many Of the people of st.
John's, in this State, where ner family
live, have received printed copies of what
| was termed a contract, civil AMI conjugal,
entered into recently between Mss Strick-
| land and Leo Miller. the well-knoWn Buff
falo SpiritualiSt. The contract begins:
1.-The undersi yned, this 81 day of Novem-
Der. A. u. 1917, enter into 4 bus ness part
land, on the followln. conditions, to wit:
That all earnings and profits arising from
our individual and joint iahors, whether
III department Of literature, ART, IN chan
ism, agriculture or trade, shall be shared
and held equally"
After next declaring that love is she
only binding law in the conjugaf union II
sexes, the contract proceeds: ''Sl,ould TINS
union be blessed by offspring, We jointly
and severally pledge ourselves, OUR assign
ors and administrators to foster and sup
port them during the pendent years of in
fancy aud youth. supplying their physical
wants and rearing them in the principles
OF virtue and kn0wled ye, to the best Of our
ability and judgment.
The remarkable document concludes
with the decl .ration that the siglers IRE
pudiate the laws AMI customs wllHh men
assume to make, and the control OF AN at
lection between the sexes which We believe
is, and Of divine right ought to be- fres."
Miss Strickland has also addressed soms
Woodhullian letters to the st. Johm's PIT
pers, declarin her revolt against the legal
bonds Of marriage, which, she says, ~rests
only on the principles Of master and slave"
The course Of Miss Strickla I'd is deeply
notifying to her parents, and has elected
from them the following card:
1--WE ask the sympathy OF our friends in
our sorrow for the course pursued by our
poor, deluded, misguided and insane daugh-
ter, and we extend our tina ks to the kind
friends that have labored with US during
the last year so earnestly to save her. We
bow our heads in grief"

HOME TALKs.-Among home amuse-
ments the best is the god old habit Of
conversation-the talking over the events
Of the day in bright and quick play of wit
and fancy, the story which brings the
laugh, and the good and kind and true
things which all have in their hearts. It
is not so much by dwelling upon what
members Of the family have in common,
AZ bringing each to the other something
interesting and amusing, that home life is
to be made cheerful and joyous. Each
one must do his part to make conversation
genial and happy We are too ready to
converse with newspapers and books, to
seek some companion at the store, hotel.
or club room, and to forget that home is
anything more than place TO sleep and
eat in. The revival of conversation, the
entertainment of one another as rOomful
of people will entertain themselves, is one
secret of happy home. Wherever it il
of the tree; there is a want, which is felt
with increasing force as time goes on.
Conversation. in many cases, is just what
prevents many people from relapsing into
utter selfishness at their 6resides. THIS
conversation should not simply occupy
husband and wife, and other older men,
bers of the family, but extend itself to the
children. Parents should be careful to
talk with them, TO enter into their life, to
share their trifes, to assist in their stu
dies, to meet them in the thoughts and
feelings Of their childhood. It isa great
step in education, when around the even
ing lamp are gathered the different men,
beers of family, sharing their occupation
with one another, the older assisting the
younger, each one contributing to the en-
tertainment IF the other, and all feeling
| that the evening has passed only too rapid
ly away. This is the truest and best
amusement. 1t is the healthful education
Of great and noble characters There is
the freedom, the breadth, the joyousness,
of natural life. The time spent thus by
parents, in the higher entertainment Of
their children, bears u harvest of eternal
blessings; and these long evenings furnish
Just the time hurchn.an

AN ILLUMINATION OF The PYRAMIDS
DIR. Russell sends to the London Times
the following description of an illumina-
ton of the Pyramids on the occasion of
the visit of the Prince Of Wales to Egypt:
A sumptuous dinner was provided in the
chalet or mosque that was built for the
convenience Of the Empress IF the French
at tho time of her visit. After dinner
came the event Of the evening-ths illu-
mination of the Great Pyramid. 1t was a
bold undertaking-the lighting up of a
pyramidical mass four hundred and sixty
feet, presenting two sides, each seven hrn-
dred and thirty feet long, and broken into
constantly recurring shadows by over the
hundred courses of stoue, each forming Il
ledge or platform round the Pyramid
However, complete success rewarded the
courage of the two Pashas. First, Bengal
fires, placed at short intervals round the
Pyramid were lighted, and each shone GU;
rs clear rs day. Rockets, Roman candles
and other more complicated feux d'artifict.
filled the air with many colora Then
lights of all Imaginable crlors, which had
been placed on every course Of stone and
up each angle Of the Pyramid, were 81
simultaneously lit that the blaze seemed tt
run up the vast mass and in mo nent en-.
velop it in one great blaze Of varieg ated
fire. while magnetism wire shone out br Ugh,
and clear from the apex. Every sort OF
firework cracked and blazetf and made
cascades Of colored stars in the heavens
The sight was marvellous. The Prince
and his suite expressed themselves greatly
pleased. But still more emphatic was the
hum of appreciation from hundreds OF
Bedou who were squatted about like
statues in white drapery on the sand
Soon all was gray and cold again, and tn.
