CHRISTMAS TREE RATTLE IN THE CHATEAU.

angels came down and stirred with their
Christmas songs the shepherds who watched
their flocks by night. The singers that
wake the French villagers are not angels.
but they play their part well. Their visits
help to prepare a Christmas feast for the
poor.
The Song of the Noel.
First-this is in the poetic land of Pro-
vence-there come three knocks at the door.
1t is the cue of the master of the house to
call out severely from within: Who is
there2'' Three louder knocks are given in
reply Then the goodman within must
strike hard with his fist upon the table and
shout more harshly than before: who goes
there at such an hour?' And then, with
three more knocks. begins the song OF the
Noel on the very threshold of the door. 1t
"a a song to the Virgin for hospitality. in
memory Of the first Christmas night when
abe AID Joseph knocked in vain for shelter
IN Bethlehem.
The door is thrown wide open and the
singers rush into the great Kitchen where,
IN the chimney place. the Christmas log
Is brightly burning. All this is essentially
the same as the Christmas waits and the
yule-log Inherited in merry England from
the middle ages and made so familiar to
US BY the sketches of Washington Irving.
The singers finish their song and then re-
ceive the offerings. Each one goes up to
the mistress of the house and holds out a
basket with the simple words: In the
name of the Virgin" To one she gives
nuts and rafsins, 20 another apples and
eggs, ard sometimes whole fowl. replying
to each she does so-"For the love of
Jesus" Then the singers go away to other
houses to do it all over again. different
bands of young men thus divide up the
houses of the well-to-do townspeople; and
thus the poor, too, share in the good cheer
of Christmas.
No one knows the origin of these curious
Christmas songs. Longfellow has translat-
ed one of those from Burgundy, which says
of itself:
Nuns In frigid cells
At this holy tide.
Tor want OF something else
At Christmas songs their hands have tried.
It - said that some Of these Noels date
AL the way Sack to the year 1000 when
Latin words and French were still mixed
ND together.

DEEP-sEA DIVING.
The Difficulty and Danger of Going
Down to Great Depths.

The Difficulty and Danger of Going
Down to Great Depths.
From the Westminster Review.
The steamer Alfonso Mi, having on board
ten boxes OF gold coin, each box worth
10000 struck on a rock and sank at Grand
Canary while on a voyage from Cadiz TO
Havana in 1856 1t was ascertained that
the specie was at a depth of 20 2-3 fathoms
16O feet, and grave doubts were entertained
of the possibility of any diver being able
to Withstand the tremendous pressure in
cidental to such a depth, viz, some sixty
seven pounds to every superficial square
inch of his body. Experiments at this depth
were made off Dartmouth, and two men.
Lambert and Tessier. were found equal to
the perilous task. Also, dresses were at
length made which would remain water
tight at SO great a depth.
An expedition was sent out by the Ma
rine Insurance Company, the divers to re-
ceive a reward of per cent or $500, on
each box recovered Lambert got I'D seven
boxes and Tessier two. So terrible was the
pressure that neither man could stay below
for more than a few minutes and LAM
bert, for some time after his return. suf-
fered from chronic paralysis of the bowels
by which he was in a certain respect re-
duced to the helpless condition Of a babe in
the cradle Probably a tightly sealed ket-
tie, sent down empty to the same depth,
would have been crushed fiat. As IL was,
the divers only succeeded in finding nine
boxes out of ten, 10000 thus remaining be-
low. A subsequent expedition went in
search of this box, and the diver, sfter
being down for twenty minutes, was haul
ed up only to die. Nothing discouraged, a
fresh expedition went out with two divers
from Germany.
The first of these was promptly hauled up
half dead, only to be sent ashore to the
hospttai. raying mad. the other went down
but returned declaring that no box was
there. Whether he really got SO far as the
lazarette from which the nine boxes Were
taken is open to doubt The pressure at
such depths must be positively crushing
In the accounts of one of the deep sea
dredging expeditions. 1t is mentioned that
when the trawl was raised from a great
depth the pressure proved to have been
such as TO crush together the wood of the
trawl beam, so that the knots started out
of It.

event. The shepherds will look like French
peasants and the wise men like Turks, and
sometimes the wax figure of the child Jesus,
which has been bought separately, Is much
larger than any Of the grown people in the
group. There Is always a tinsel star fast
ened up where IT will shine in the light; and
sometimes china angels swing from the
roof, hung by threads in midair. In one
mountain town Of Italy I saw an elaborate
representation. ten feet long, where the
brought out in actual motion. The wise
men came in a sailboat over patch of blue
sea; the shepherds came down from the
hills. where a tiny water wheel was made
to turn round and round. And a hermit
was ringing a church bell in honor of the
child born in the stable just across the way.
In general all these native creations mix
and mingle the customs and ideas of the
country with what is known of the birth of
Christ He is actually born in Provence OF
up in some Alpine village.
A Breakfast of Ceremony.
After the church service is over everyone
hurres home to the reveillon or Christmas
breakfast that follows. This is made as
distinct as possible from all the other
feasting of the year. In the humble vii
lagos at the foot Of the Alps the table is
lightedfor once by a real candle bought for
this express purpose; the rest Of the year
the family is content with the fire light or
the uncertain glare of the fat pine splin-
tiers. The housewife. before setting out for

MORAL sUAsION FAILED.

And Only the MastiR Was Happy
After the Brawl.
From the St. Louis Republic.
"Betcher my dog kin lick yer dog" said
Sammy Fulton, twelve years old, to Man
dell Klegman, sixty-seven years old, who
lives at 101S North 18th street.
MY dog is not fighting dog" responded
the old man amiably. TT is very wrong
for people to allow dogs to fight, anyway"
Looks like he might put up a good
scrap" commented the urchin, who was
more interested in the dogs lighting ability
than in the great moral principle involved
During the conversation which was TAX
ing place between their masters the two
dogs stood looking at each other and growl-
ing f1ercely. Sammy's canine companion
was a bow-legged brindle bulldog. while
the dog that the old gentleman was leading
was a mastiff. The old man started UP
the street. but the boy followed. When
the old man went into a store he tied his
dog to a post. Sammy tied his dog up, too,
and went over to become acquainted with
the mastiff. He was such a big fellow that
Sammy, who wanted to find out how hard
he could pull united him. The mastiff' s
anger toward the ugly bulldog was fully
aroused and he started for the bulldog at
a terrific gait, dragging Sammy after him.
Sammy's dog tried to get away, but his
master had tied him fast, and with canine
fortitude he awaited the enemy. For a few
minutes the passers-by stopped to look at
the two dogs and boy rolling in the mud.
The old gentleman FASTENED out Of the
store to get his dog, but he could not sepa-
rate him from the writhing mass. Sammy
finally pulled the mastin away. Part of
the bulldog was left, but he resembled an
aged poodle and did not look like dog in
the prime Of life, which he had been before
the fight. Sammy was SO greatly enraged
at the result Of the combat that he picked
up chunk of coal and threw 1t at the
mastiff, but he hit the man and knocked
him down.
Frightened at what he had done he has,
tened away, and when a policeman started
out to look for him he could not be found
The patrol wagon was called and the old
man taken to the dispensary. The physi-
clan said that the wound was not serious
Two hours afterward Sammy slipped back
and liberated his dog and carefully carried
him home. Sammy and his dog will not be
looking for trouble for some time to come,
and the old gentleman will nurse a painful
scalp wound as a reminder Of his endeavor
to convince boy that 1t was wrong FOR
dogs to fight.

But the remote country villages keep to
the old long-winded songs, which often
contain the whole story of Christmas mixed

the village. One of these, from the town
