Twelfth Night In scotland.


And at last all winds up with Twelfth
Night itself, and ''alms" and spicy
cake are given in the daytime to all tho
children that come for them singing:
Hogmany, trollolay,
Give us your white bread and none Of your
gray.
And In the evening there are games;
gay games or snap dragon, where raisins
are snatched from the flames of burning
brandy, and impromptu charades, and
there shall be oonjuring and fortune tell
ing and riddles and perhaps a little
play will be given, and stately histor-
ical tableaux, and in their pictorial
senses break and eat the Twelfth Night
cake. All the little children come in,
bearing lighted taper to be stuck in the
top Of it. The hidden ring is found with
nuch sport, and all drink the wassail
bowl, no longer compounded Of hot
wines and spices, but freshly foaming
cider taken through straws or the stems
VI new clay pipes. And then the whole
company say good night. all going our
separate ways, singing:
Yule's como and Yule's gone,
An we hao feasted wecl.
Sac Jock maun TO his fail agin,
An Jenny to her wheel.

ber of encores. The Russell brothers we're
as entertaining as OF old and received
hearty welcome from the audience. Sam
Bernard gave his views on the tarin

Origin of Chr,stmas Grccna.

The custom of decorating churches
and houses with evergreens, branches
and flowers is Of very early date The
Jews used them at their feast Of taber-
nacles and the heathens in several Of
their ceremonies, and they were adopt
cd by the Christians. Christ permitted
branches to be used as token Of rejoic-
ing upon his triumphal entry into Jeru-
salem. TWAS natural, therefore. that at
Christmas time, when his birth was cell
ebrated, this symbol Of rejoicing should
be resorted TO- Some of the early coun-
ellis, however, considering that the prac.
tice somewhat savored of paganism, en-
deavored to abolish ii, and at one time
1T was enacted that il was not lawful to
begirt or adorn houses with laurel or
green boughs.

Attempt at Suicide.
1t Might Have Been Prevented.
TFrom the Boston Post.

While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
430 o'clock. people near the entrance gates
al the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself. He was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 8 o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
To turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results ofmental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
respondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

Notice to inventors.

There was never time in the his
tory of our country when the de-
mand for inventions and improve
ment in the arts and sciences gen
orally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the
factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm and in official
life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and nipple
ments of each in order to save labor,
time and expense. The political
change in the administration of
government does not effect the pro-
gress of the American inventor,
who being on the alert, and ready
to perceive the existing deficiencies,
does not permit the affairs of gov
eminent to deter him from quickly
conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great
care cannot be exercised in choos-
ing a competent and skilled attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and des-
troyed in innumerable instances by
the employment of incompetent
counsel, and especially is this adj
vice applicable to those who adopt
the 'No patent, no pay" system.
Inventors who intrust their bus
mess to this class of attorneys do SO
at eminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never con-
sidered in view of a quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due.
