Merry Christmas is a survival Of this
custom"
But where did the resemblance to
thanksgiving come in ?" inquired.
In the happy family gatherings at
the Christmas dinner. The tables were
loaded with dozen kinds of meat and
every variety of homemade dainty.
The profusion was astonishing. fan.
cy that the southern Christmas BAN
quet has reacted not little upon the
New England Thanksgiving dinner,
which was not in the beginning quite
so much feast of the flesh"
But why do you compare your
Christmas to Halloween and All-Fools'
day?" l asked.
Because the practical jokes so rife
at these seasons were quite the proper
thing on Christmas, with u.s."
What, for example?"
why, gates were lifted from their
hinges and carried off, and all manner
OF impish little tricks were then in order.
occasionally they were little too seri-
Gus for sport-for legitimate fun, at
least. For instance, horse was some
times taken from the stable, led to re-
mote part of the farm, and confined IN
TOBACCO pen,' as the Enclosures for
curing tobacco were called. The uoor
animal would, perhaps, be half-staryed
before the owner found him--a very
inappropriate way to celebrate Christ
mas. But in general, the tricks were
harmless enough. A SNOWFALL, or
cold potato. or piece of stale pie, hid
den IN shoe-or occasionally a dead
mouse or live kitten-caused infinite
amusement among the children. Pref
ty nearly all the familiar April Fool
devices of the north were practiced by
u.s."
Were there any other characteristic
features of the day?"
AS have said, it was the great fes-
tlyal of the year. 1t lasted through
series of days, and great parties of
relatives and friends made a sort of
joyful progress from house to house.
There were freedom and abandon in IL
hardly known in the northern states
IN these times, at any rate. Even the
slaves We're given at least four DAYS of
freedom from toll. Preparation was
made long beforehand. Abundant
food for the stock was placed in such
way that they could feed themselves.

These, which had been saved and pre-
pared many weeks beforehand, were
blown full of air and tightly tied. They
were brought out on Christmas morn
ing long before daylight. and when
warmed before the fire burst, making a
tremendous noise. They were the can
non crackers of those days. The up
roar commonly abated about breakfast
time, though yagrant guns and crack
ers were heard throughout the day.
Every child was ambitious to make all
the noise he could"
''But were there no presentsT"
Eyes; though we knew nothing of the
hanging up of stockings, and the Santa
Claus lore that forms SO delightful q
feature in child life nowadays. The
presents (those that we received, ct
least) were rather trivial-raisins, nuts,
candy and few firecrackers; but they
perfectly satisfied us. 1t was the rec
ognized season for gifts then no less
than now; and the unwritten law OF
the day was that whoever first saluted
another and cried: Christmas gift,
might claim one from the person SO
saluted. Hence the children. and in
deed all the household, endeavored to
be awake and alert early so as te

Use che scr.per FREQUENTLY.

Ruts never should be filed with stone
or refuse matter. The care and atten-
ton of the overseer, directed toward i'm
proving the road oftener than once In
the spring and once In the fall, will pro-
duce cure of this. The scraper kept
in his shed during the summer months
should be taken out for an airing and
run over the roads in his district at least
twice a month, if not oftener. The ruts
can thus be cut down and filled up, and
the condition of the mind of the trav-
eler, as well as that of the road, can be
materially improved.-Isaac B. Potter.

NOTES FOR eEEKEEPERs.

Granulated sugar should always be
used for winter food.
1t is the bees reared in the fall that
we have mainly to depend upon during
the winter and spring.
During the winter the bees should
occupy the combs in the center and the
honey around them.
Each colony should have frame or
two of brood, for it is the bees Matched
In the fall that survive the winter.
The objection to leaving honey in the
combs late in the fall is that It lie apt to
become dark in color.
If bees are to be wintered in cellars,
care must be taken to have them dry, as
dampness induces disease.
More bees are lost on account of bad
food or none at all than from all other
causes combined, especially in winter.
There Is no factor in wintering bees
that is so important as the matter of
food, and it is one that is often neg
Iected.
1t 10 often the case that theme is more
or less robbing while feeding in the fall
and it is an almost certain indication
that something is wrong.
All colonies in good condition at this
time should have portion of brood in
the combs, and if this is not the case
something is wrong with the queen.
Quietude is one of the essentials in
successfully wintering bees, whether in
or out of doors. Never disturb them ex-
cept when strictly necessary.

A Lesson from Antiquity.

The ancient Romans built roads hun

the highest style of the road-making
art. The meas of Peru made marvel

tions by building good roads through
out the length and breadth of the land ?

With all the noise and riot which now

Independence day. Crackers-we called

Town and Farm I'm Union.

The last generation, through the de-
velopment of railroads, has woven to-
gether sectional interests and brought
unprecedented national prosperity. In
coming years the improvements of coun-
try roads must open way for the BIZ
cycle and the electric carriage to unite
town and farm and to add to the sani-
tary advantages of the latter something
of the conveniences and luxuries of the
city. Thus will be enhanced Columbia's
