Though you may for the present fill your
station In society, the time is as inevitable
as fate when your brilliancy will. like a
flash. depart, leaving you a stranded wreck.
desolate, forgotten and lost: So embrace
the opportunity and enjoy life and happi-
ness longer. If you claim to be a man, act

with the thought that Nature will help itself,

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.


Many customs most interesting to the
student of folklore and supeIstitions are
connected with Christmas day. The
"waits" went through the streets and
sang carols at every door. Wherever
&hey went they were right gladly en-
tertained with food, drink and gifts.
This was, of course, on the night before
Christmas. The devout Christians sup.
posed that at this sacred hour all the
powers of darkness lay prostrate in
helplessaess before the new. born Saw.
iour of the world. No one has so beau
tifully expressed this thought as Shake
speare. where in "Hamlet" he makes
Marcellus say while telling of the ap.
pearance of the Ghost.
~ 1t faded on the growing OF the cock.
Some say that ever 'gainst that season
comes
Wherein our saviours birth is celebrated,
Ihe inra. Gird OF dawning singeIh all night
And then. then. they say, no spirit can walk
The nighta are wholesome; then no planet
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to
charm;

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
This Christmas custom is of German
origin, but it has taken deep root and
msde vigorous growth in America.
While the waits, "yule logs" "boar's
heads "mummeries" and other purely
English customs havo died out in the
United States, the German Christmas tree
has become great institution here
This custom was formerly connected
with st. Nicholas day in Fatherlsild.
That feast was celebrated on the 9th of
December. In America, where the OBJ.
servance of these days was greatly re-
stricted by the busy march OF activity
which has always characterized our
people, a compromise was made by
transferring the Santa Claus or Kriss
kringle business to Christmas day. So
familiar is oil this to every one here there
is no need of celebrating on any of its
faaturas Thau ara oil ,ualI Lx,a.mr

Here was an old custom connected
with Christmas that made much bolster.
GUS fun. A big bowl was provided and
into this was cast quantity of raisins.
Over these was pured some brandy, and

they can rely on, they come to us fruit
merchants, and they always will. 1t
will take five years of auction sales for
buyers to learn brands. Probably the
best disposition that can be made, both
of Florida and California fruits, will be
to send them to reliable fruit houses.
They can protect it intelligently, hold it
if it will keep, upon rising market,
etc."
Mr.. F. B. Chase says. II believe
Florida and California fruits will ulti-
mately all 60 to auction. or to few
fruit houses in the various large cities
which will distribute it. 1t is growing
interest and must shape itself on trial, /
think poth plans will be pursued until
experience proves which is best"
Mr.. Jas. M. jackson favors auction
sales as best for California oranges of in.
ferior grades; better qualities will bring
more in private hands. He thinks cost of
transportation and the competition of
foreign fruits will always prevent large
sales of California oranges in this
market.
Mr.. F. F. Cosgrove, of the firm of f.
A. Cosgrove h Son, dealers in Florida
oranges, etc., says, "frequent,letters from
our Florida correspondent state that
returns are from l5 to 20 per cent higher
than auction sales of the same gocds."
"We think it will tend largely to in
crease consumption, if growers and ship.
ers will discriminate and send their or
anges only to regular fruit houses.
Some of the general commission houses,
although frequently reliable, have little
or no knowledge OF the trade in Florida
oranges, and their returns are frequently
unsatisfactory. And many smaller
houses who are honest and do legiti-
mate trade, having less capital, are de-
barred from equal advantages at the auc-
ton houses, and thus cannot compete
with the larger houses; but their trade
in the aggregate is very important to the
trade"
Mr.. Banks, of the fruit house of A. M.
Banks & Son, favors sending entire do
nestle crops to auction, so that buyers
can then compete for good marks and
good quality. At present, commission
houses, lacking facilities, cut prices to
dispose of fruit, and sharp buyers quote
then to depress the market.
Mr.. +. s. Maynard, fruit dealer,
thinks good fruit will bring more sold
by commission dealers, and poor fruit
should bs sent to auction.
Mr.. d. Wegman, for thirty-two years
a fruit dealer in New York, favors the
sending of fruit to auction in order to
establish price for it. Good fruit will
then bring good price and poor fruit
all 1t is worth.
Messrs. Charles Parsons & Sons be-
lieve that the plan Of auction sales is
