CQRlsrMAA.

In the fourth century eft the Christian
era urged by St. Cyril of Jerusalem,
Pme Julien l. direceed that an investi-
.,f,oa be made concerning the day Of
Caxin's nativity, the celebration Of
which therstofore under the name OF
Chriss Mass had constituted one Of the
uuusrous movable feasts Of the Chris
tan Church. The theOlogians of the
thsa East and Weet, after duo investi-
9sfion, mainly of tables OF censors IN
ths Roman capital. formally agreed
upon the 18th of December Al tho date
1t His birth, since which time, notwith-
standing the doubts of many as TO the
sufhenticity of the proof and positive
iAsutification of the day, the conclusion
tAea reached has been universally 40
sspted. It matter not at this period 90 far

tons was correct. The occurrence which

such doctrines, telling soch truths, and

He inculcated, and of which He was a
visible exponent, have through all
suooesding centuries formed tho found

TO render happy on the morrow. And
some, sad eyed, Razed wistfulIy In at the
bright faces and beautiful array, and
then turned away with sigh of regret
and disappointment. Those who had

eide at last. loaded themselves with
their purchases and eleefully hurried
homeward. Those whose purses were
less amply stocked with coin carefully
and judiciously expended their mite,
then, conscious that they had done
their best, went home contentedly, and

smiled upon set their lips together and

The naming of children among the

reference to the name of the parent. A

buffalo rising in the grass, then buffalo
Rising in the Grass" becomes the name of
his offspring. If he should come upon a
snake, skunk or any living creature, or
any inanimate object having identity and
distinguished by taste or smell from other
insnimate objects, the name of
the child is at once determined.
Suppose child to bear the Indian name
for skunk, whenever such child dies the
name is forever blotted out of the
Comanche vocabulary and is never again
uttered by any member of the tribe.
Before the funeral the wise men assem-
