KRISS kRlNGLE.
A Corruption of the Words Christ Child
Now Applied to Santa Claus.

A Corruption of the Words Christ Child
Now Applied to Santa Claus.
In these days Kriss Kringle is looked
upon as an alternative name for Santa
Claus; but, in fact, he is, etymologic-
ally and historically, totally different
being, though the two personages have
been welded into one in the popular
imagination. A very small knowledge
of German reveals the fact that Kriss
word "Christkindlein," or Christ child,
whose connection with the Christmas
festival is too obvious to need explana-
ton. But what seems inexplicable is
how the Christ child of the past, the
Holy One, whose nativity is the subiset
of commemoration in a5-sseft
- n .,.ssd--Ss-~-SI-lsU IeaSI winch
u. |, 1tsae-,-l-5,eiiIas, should have evolved
into the white haired, white bearded,
merry hearted and kindly old pagan
whom we call indiferently Kriss Kringle
or Santa Claus.
Yet at the very moment when we have
come face TO face with this apparently
insoluble paradox we have reached the
solution which seemed impossible when
we strove to understand the lnuch less
startling transformation of St. Nicholas
into Santa Claus.
We remember that the Christmas fes-
tival of today is q gradual evolution
from times that long autedated the
Christian period; that though it cele-
brates the mightiest fact III the history
of Christendom it was OVERLAND upon
heather festivals, and many Of its attend
ant observances are mere adaptations of
pagan to Christian ceremonial.
This was no mere accident. 1t was q
necessary measure at time when the
new religion was forced on a deeply
superstitious population. In order TO
reconcile heather converts to the new
faith and to make the wrenching of the
old ties as painless as possible these rel
les of paganism were preserved under
modified externals, exactly as the an
tique columns were transferred from an
Gent temples TO adorn the Christian ba-
silicas.
In course of time, as the idea of mum
dane merriment rather than religious
sanctifcation at the period of Christmas
became the predominant one. st. Nicho-
las or Santa Claus lost his asceticisn, be-
came ruddier, jollier, more rubicund IN
aspect, while the Christ child faded
more and more into the background, I'M
til at last the very name of the latter
under the slightly different form of
Kriss Kringle was transferred to his
uccessor.-Selected.

THE CORWIN'S TRIP.
What the San Francisco Chron-
icIe Says on the Subject.

The United States revenue cutter
Thomas Corwin, Captain a. r. Mum
ger, is under special orders for a 800
mile trip. Her destination is Homo
lulu, without doubt, and she may be
expected TO leave this afternoon or to-
morrow morning. Whether any per-
son in diplomatic authority is coming
here from Washington, DC, to go TO
the islands on the Corwin Is not
known. 1t is quite likely, however,
that a special messenger, entrusted
with letters and advices containing
secrets of State, will be the emissary
who will occupy one of the staterooms
already set apart in the after cabin.
The greatest secrecy has been main
tanned since the special orders arrived
Saturday noon. These turned the cut
ter over to the State Department and
placed her under waiting orders. In
structions were also given to prepare
for $500 mile voyage and to be ready
to sail in forty-eight hours.
Saturday night a rumor was in cir
culation to the effect that the COrwin
was going TO Honolulu, but it was not
until yesterday morning that the cut
ter hauled into Green street pier. Not
a single officer on the Corwin would
open his lips regarding what might
possibly be the destination of the YES
sci. When Honolulu was mentioned as
the objective point one officer took so
much pains to try and deny the fact
that his own carefulness was laugh
able. He only made matters worse.
Later on the Chronicle received def
mite information regarding the Cor
wins prospective trip.
Just what the present administra-
ton expects to gain by sending the
Corwin to Honolulu is a matter OF
conjecture. The next steamer leaving
here for the Hawaiian Islands is the
Alameda, on the 18th inst, and the
next due here from Honolulu is the
>. ;. Oceanic on the 18th inst. Some
important change must be contem-
plated. Whether President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham have decided
to abandon their policy of trying to
restore eX-Queen LiliuOkalani to the
Hawaiian throne, and want to re-
scind former orders, is question that
time will only answer. IL is quite pos
sible that what is now contemplated
is of a startling nature.
The sending of a special steamer Is
an undertaking of a considerable eX-
pense. If the Corwin should get away
this afternoon she might be expected
to reach Honolulu by the 18th, or
three days before the regular mail adj
vices would leave here. The mail
steamer takes between six and seven
days, so in reality ten days might be
said TO be gained over scheduled
steamers.-S. +. Chronicle, Nov. 4th.

Whore the Blame Belongs.

One of the lovely nymphs who was
floating about among the sylvan woods
and streams during the summer has
among her belongings a gown which the
prosy man who pays the nymph's bills
considers not a dream, but a very sub
stantial reality, as it cost him $500 over
and above the original price. That was
the sum he paid for one of the horses
that took cold while the carriage waited
at the door of the modiste when the
gown was being fitted. He had been
clipped, and the illness resulted in his
death. The owner of the creation"
however, thinks the unreasonable man
should place. the blame where it belongs
on the modiste Of the fashionable
hcrse.-New York Times.

THE NAVY.

The report of the Secretary of the
Navy exhibits a most gratifying con-
dition of the personnel of our navy.
During the past six months the de-
mands for cruising vessels have been
many and urgent. There have been
revolutions calling for vessels to pro-
tect American interests in Nicaragua,
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras,
Argentina and Brazil, while the con-
dition of affairs in Honolulu has re-
quired the constant presence of one or
more ships.
Progress in the construction of new
vessels has not been as rapid as was
anticipated. There have been delays
in the completion of unarmored yes.
sells, but for the most part they have
been such as are constantly occurring,
even in countries having the largest
experience in naval ship-building.
The most serious delays, however,
have been in the work upon armored
ships. The trouble has been the failure
of contractors to deliver armor agreed
upon. The difficulties seem now, how
ever, to have been all overcome. AS
a result of the experience acquired by
ship-builders and designers and mate
rial men, it is believed that the dates
when the vessels will be completed
can now be estimated with reasonable
accuracy.
Great guns, rapid-fire guns, torpe-
does and powder are being promptly
supplied.
While / am distinctly in favor of con-
sisteutly pursuing the policy we have
inaugurated of building up a thorough
and efficient navy, l cannot refrain
from the suggestion that Congress
should carefully take into account the
number of finished vessels in our
hands and the depleted condition Of
our treasury in considering the pro-
priety of an appropriation at this time
to begin new work.

AtIanta's Half Century.

Atlanta is about TO celebrate her ff-
tieth ANTWERP. Dy that time her pop
ulation will be IN close neighborhood of
100. 600. The next 10 years at the same
steady rate of increase will place her
among the 10 leading cities Of the coun-
try. This is not visionary or specula-
tive. bat is based upon the natural adj
vantages of the place and the quality and
temper Of its citizenship. Already At
lanta IS more extensively known at the
north than any other city south of Wash
ington. She has more energy, more pur-
pose and more respondent future than
any city OF her population in the land.
There Is every reason why the merchants
of Atlanta should not be respondent over
the situation.-Atlanta Constitution.

Tue Elite, a weekly Chicago pic
torial publication, under date ct April
18th, publishes the following compli-
mentary notice regarding Nevada at
the Worlds Fair:
The youngest commissioners at the
fair is Mr.. j. A. Yeriugton, who is
chairman OF the Nevada commission.
Mr.. Yerington is not quite thirty years
OF age, and his smoothly shaven face
gives him an ven more youthful ap-
pearance, but he is ae shrewd and
capable as any CT the agraybeards"
among the commissioners, and enthu-
siasttc about his State exhibit. just
thirty days from the time Mr.. Yer
ington was appointed commissioner
his exhibits were packed aud shipped
to Chicngo. Although Nevada has
no State building at the fair, she
sends a capital exhibit.
In the agricultural department. are
sixty varieties Of grain, all arranged
in redwood boxes, also large sheaves
of grain.
Mr.. Yerington says that on the Col
orado river in Lincoln county, grain
is now ready for harvest, and figs, al
monds and nectariues are half ripe.
He hopes to make the earliest exhibit
OF this years fair. The Nevada soil
is so productive that-as Mr.. Yeripg-
ton expresses i~t-anything that you
water will grow. The potatoes grown
there are particularly fine, both in
flavor and size, and the Nevada people
claim that their beef and butter can
not be surpassed.
In the mining department., Nevada
makes q fine show, gold ar silver ore
in almost every state, and fine speci-
mems OF virisite-as tho miueraIogists
have christened the phosphate of
aluminium. Mr.. Yerington brings
with ] i'm one specimen OF verisite
about the size Of a mans head, aud it
weighs nearly fifty pounds. 1t ia a
lovely shade Of blue, u little brighter
than q Turquoise. Nevada also sends
over a hundred pounds OF ruby silver,
and lovely specimens Of wire gold and
wire silver. In fact, almost every
kind Of mineral found in the country
will be sent from Nevada.
But the most interesting Of all the
exhibits, from q scientific standpoint,
are the prehistoric footprints that Mr..
Y~erington has given over into Pro-
fessor Putnam's charge. The pro-
lessor Is intensely interested in them,
mole especially in the human relics,
supposed to be those'of Indians, and
discovered under eighteen feet of
solid rock. The footprints found at q
depth Of thirty-two feet are likely to
be the subject of much discussion, as
some scientists are inclined to think
that they are human.
