Recording Mortgages.

Said one of the Oldest and most successful
business men in the city last evening: "The
World Herald made very bad break yester-
day when 1t published n list of the mortgages
FLED. Neither my name nor my interests
were represented, and ii they had ! could
not have regretted tho publication any more
than l do now. L can conceive OF nothing
calculated to work more certainly and more
surely against tho city than a daily
exposure in public print of the liens
which business men see fit to put upon their
property. While in many instances a mort
gage may represent not the slightest iota Of
financial embarrassment, and its placing
may be well understood by many Of the
home associates of the mortgage, yet, when
the fact is Haunted and famed forth in pub
lie print it acts seriously against the person
In the estimation OF that great proportion
of the surrounding business world that re-
celves a very emphatic Impression
of The man simply from seeing that
he has been mortgaging his property.
Again, 1T is bad enough that a man who is
really embarrassed financially must make it
known publicly, even to the extent of filing
evidence of that embarrassment, without
having it spread before the public whether
the public want to see it or not.
''rhere is another matter which occurs to
me in this same line,' continued the gentle
man, THAT should be different. Glance at
any Chicago paper and you will tnd that
under the head of courts they give simply
the title Of new cases that are commenced, I'M
less the case be one of very great magnitude.
There are hundreds of little cases wrong
fully started and summarily dismissed whose
publication hurts to a large extent the peo-
pie who are 50 frequently innocent defend
ants. In this matter all the papers of
Omaha are guilty of doing q great injustice
to the several interests of the city-for the
citizens are, when you get down to it, the
city. Give more space to the real estate
transfers and to the building pcrmits-tell
more about 'em. In q word, let the papers
suppress the seemingly unfortunate occur
larging upon the happier Developments

Cattle.

Saturday, Jan. Is.
There was not much in the cattle market
today to encourage shippers and 1t would
be better If there could be q let up in the re-
ceipts for a few days. The markets all ap-
pear to be glutted and the outlet is not equal
to the supply. The cattle were mostly COM
moi to medium IN quality, with a few pretty
fair heeves. The market was not very
active, although there was q little better
feeling at ono time. The situation was very
much the same as yesterday. and there was
hardly enough change TO admit OF any differ
ent quotation. Cattle which were desirable
and which the buyers really wanted brought
fully steady prices, while the holders Of
common stun thought the market was as
bad as it has been at any time. This was
the case with cow stuff as well as with
beeves. There were several would be buy
ers of feeders IN the yards, but the cattle to
suit them were not here.

NIT stood the village inn. The khan or
caravanserai of Syrian village of that day
was probably Identical in its appearance
and accommodation with those which still
exist in modern Palestine. khan is low
structure built of rough stones and gen.
orally only a single story in height.
1t consists, for the most part, Of square
Enclosure in which the cattle can be
tied up in safety for the night,
and an arched recess for the accommodation
OF travellers. The 'leewan" or paved floor
OF the recess is raised foot or two above
the level of the courtyard. A large khan
such for instance as that of which the ruins
may still be seen at Khan Minyeb, on the
shore of the Sea of Gallee-might contain
series of such recesses, which are, in fact,
low small rooms with no front wall to them.
They are, of course, perfectly public; every-
thing that takes place in them is visible to
every person in the khan. They are also
totally devoid of even the most ordinary
furniture. The traveller may bring his own
carpet if he likes, may sit cross-legged upon
1t for his meals, and may lie upon it at night.
AS rule, too, he must bring his own food,
attend to his own cattle, and draw his own
water from the neighboring spring. He
would neither expect nor require attendance,
and would pay only the merest trife
for the advantage of shelter, safety
and a floor on which to lie. But if he

herds of an obscure village, and those shep-
herds, amid the chill dews of a winter night,
were guarding their focks from the wolf and
the robber, in fields where Ruth. their Saw
ior's ancestress, had geaned-sick at heart
amid the alien-corD. and David, the de-
spised and youngest son OF a numerous
family, had followed the flocks.
''And suddenly" adds the sole evangelist
who has narrated the circumstances of that
memorable night in which Jesus was born,
amid the indifference of a world unconscious
OF its deliverer, there was with the angel
multitude of the heavenly host praisng
God, and saying: Glory to God in the high
est and on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
1t might have been expected that Chris
tian piety would have marked the spot by
splendid memorials, and enshrined the rude
grotto OF the shepherds in the marbles and
mosaics OF some stately church. But in
stead of this the "Chapel of the Herald
Anger is a mere rude crypt; and as the
traveller descends down the broken steps
which lead from the olive grove
into its dim recess he can hardly
persuade himself that he is in a
consecrated place. Yet q half-unconscious
sense of fitness has, perhaps, contributed
TO this apparent neglect The poverty OF
the chapel barmonizes well with the humble
toll of those whose radiant vision it is in
tended to commemorate. "Come, now, let
us go unto Bethlehem and see this thing
which has come to pass which the Lord
made known unto u.s." said the shepherds
when those angel-sopgs had ceased to break
the starry silence. Their way would lead
them np the terraced hill and through the
m oonlit gardens of Bethlehem until they
reached the summit of the gray ridge on
which the little town is built. On that sum-

would choose some wild, harum- scarum fel-
low to lead them in their frolics. Prepara-
tions for the festival were commenced weeks
in advance of its ARRIVAL. One pageant got
up by the Four Inns of Court for the benefit
OF the king cost f24.000. At that time no
man In all England need go hungry on
Christmas day. 1t was a day upon which
poor relations were recognized, If upon no
other of the whole 365. The table was
Heavy with good things, and the wassall
bowl was filled with rich spiced wine or
foaming ale, in which foated tempting
roasted apples. The "Boar's Head" innova-
ton in no way detracted from the revelry.
During the progress of the feast the Lord of
Misrule would enter. bearing on a platter of
silver smoking hot boar's head. and as it
was placed upon the table with great cere-
mony, chorus of chanters, generally chill
dren, saER carols expressly written for the
occasion. "Boar's Head carols" written
In the sixteenth century are still in ex-
istence.
Puritanism finally gave the death blow to
the wild revelries of the age. Scotland be-
gan the aggressive movement. In 1866 Par
lament passed an act abolishing the Abbot
of Unreason and his boisterous court, and
shortly after the Lord of Misrule met with
similar fate. During the reign of Queen
Mary, the Mayor and Sheriff of London
were forbidden to entertain the Lord of
Misrule, and it was not long after until an
edict was enforced againstplays and masks,
In 1647 the celebration of Christmas as
holiday was abolished, and parish officers
who encouraged the celebration of the day
in the churches or the decorations of the
church buildings were subject to punish
ment. At late period an endeavor was
made to revive the carnival of the Lord of
