IN MANY CllMES.

How Christmas Day Is Observed In Differ
ent Countries.
Christmas is always a season of good
wishes and loving kindness. In Amer
tca almost all little children hang up
.heir stockings on Christmas eve, to be
illed by kind old Santa Claus. In Ger
many they make more of Christmas
than We do in America. Everywhere
the Christmas tree is used. A week
before Christmas st. Nicholas visits
he children, to find out who have been
good enough to receive the gifts the
Christ-child will bring them on Christ
mas eve. 1t is a very usual thing to
see on German Christmas tree, way
lp in the very topmost branch, an

The Anatomy of the Oyster.

A clam is considered as an emblem
of stupidity and callousness. But you
will make great mistake il you put
the oyster in the same category as
when you class a Chinaman and jap
anese together. The oyster is so
strong Of muscle, as we all know, that
no human fingers are able alone to
open the doors of his domicile if he
chooses to keep them closed; liver and
stomach and digestive organs he has,
all as sensitive as ours; respiratory Or
gans as complicated as the human
lungs; machinery for obtaining his
water supply and for preventing an
overflow, and wondrously contrived
mechanism for the trapping of his
food. Finally, he has a heart whose
pulSations may be seen after his house
has been torn from him. With this
very limited understanding of the anat-
omy of the oyster it is not difficult to
comprehend how cultivation and care
may not only improve its outward ap-
pearance and augment its lines Of
beauty, but how they also cause the
quality of its meat to SurpaSs that of
the natural or uncultivated oyster,
as much as granted poultry surpaSses
the product of the barnyard. When
your host places before you oysters
that are plump and round and thick
and deep and light-colored, and man.
tied narrowly by a fringe quite thick
to the very edge, then you may be
sure that they have not only lived with
few disturbances, but under a high
state of cultivation.

Above the Clouds.

One Of the sublimest effects in ma
ture is occasionally seen by those who
climb the tall and isolated peaks of the
Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The
dryness of the air and the strong heat
of the afternoon sun cause a rapid
evaporation from the brooks, springs,
and the snowbanks on the mountain
sides, and this moisture, rising on the
warmer air, condenses as it reaches
the cooler, thinner atmosphere about
the mountain top. The traveller look
ing down sees clouds literally forming
below him and growing thick and black
every instant, so that as they reach
his level they roll skyward and in huge
masses of vapor eclipse the view and
bury him in darkness. Lightning oc-
casionally leaps from the clouds, and
mountain top is particularly bad
place to be at such time. The stone
signal service station on Pixies Peak
has been nearly wrecked by lightning
more than once.

When Boards Were Taxed.

In the reign of Elizabeth every beard
of a fortnight's growth was subject to
q tax of 3S. i'd. Peter the Great, in
17O5. imposed tax upon the boards
of the Russian mobiles Of 100 rubles,
while the common peoples beard tax
amounted to one kopec. This tax
caused much dissatisfaction, but in
spite of this the impost was extended
to ST Petersburg in 1714. The tax
on boards was confirmed by Catherine
/. in 1852. In France a beard tax was
imposed upon the clergy. The cele-
brated Duprat, Lord High Chancellor
of France, was the adviser of the
measure. and a bull was published by
the Pope enjoining the clergy to shave
their chins. and then a tax was levied
upon all who wished to be exempted
from The harsh decree. The bishops
and others who could afford the means
paid the tax, but the poorer clergy
were obliged to yield at the point OF
the razor. :
