AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS.

Certain people who have been sigh
ing for many year for IAN old-fash-
ioned Christmas" had their desires fully
gratified yesterday. The merry jingle
of sleigh bells resounded from our
streets, keen winds and blue skies pre-
vailed, and there was no lack OF the
real Christmas spirit on every hand.
Santa Claus did not have to substitute
any sort of conveyance to make his
customary trips. His time honored
sleigh and reindeers were the proper
thing, and he did not find his way be-
set with unexpected difficulties. All
the warmer and more enthusiastic did
he find his greeting in Pawtucket yes
terday.
The real Christmas spirit, however,
in our new time, as truly as in the old,
is not to be daunted. 1t rises superior
to incidental annoyance and discom-
forts, and held unchallenged sway over
the hearts and minds OF men.
1t was not only as merry, but ae help
full Christmas as oui city has seen
and known.

Creaninc the Well.

In Banff and Aberdeen shires the custom
of "creaming the well'' at midnight is still
observed. The water drawn then is used
for washing the dairy utensils and the
cows also drink of it. This insures success
In the dairy. Sometimes grass or moss is
thrown on the water, indicative of pro-
spective good crops.
All needlework, knitting and hand work
of all kinds must be finished with the old
year, or the mischievous members of the
family put it up the chimney and blacken
1t. Much fun and laughter arise over some
ones frantic efforts to make up for lost
time, but all to no avail, for as the clock
strikes l2 and the happy New Years greet
ings are exchanged the unfinished task is
seized and summarily disposed of.-Se-

Even dignified senators are humane
and liable to lose their heads. The
pell-mell spirit of recklessness and ex.
citement, such as pervaded the atmos-
pheYe OF the senate chamber last week,
was not great credit to n deliberstive
body. The stupid blunder the Cam.
eron resolution gave birth to, was Ca
pable OF doing great harm. But for
the prompt action OF Secretary Olney,
the folly of the senate would probably
have caused war with Spain. The SEN
ate escaped black mark and heaped
abuse upon the man who came to the
rescue.

ACTIVITY IN COMMERCIAL MAR
kETS.

The past week, in Wall Street, has
been broken one, with considerable
irregularity in the prices Of securities.
Apart from the disturbing influences
incident to the holidays and the annual
making-up and liquidation Of accounts,
there have been special causes of dis
turbance, all more or less calculated to
unsettle confidence and to check buy
ing operations.
The Introduction of tho Cameron
Cuban resolutions in the senate has
naturally caused some suspense, whicn
made itself felt at the beginning Of the
week. Later, however, this influence
spent it's force and became scarcely q
distinguishable element in the market.
At the moment, q more serious factor
is the outbreak of bank failures.
With these exceptions, however, the
crop of failures incident to the close of
the year has been smaller than usual;
which is to be regarded asa satisfactory
symptom of the present condition of
credit.
The removal of the Cuban dangers
has produced a hopeful feeling as to the
drift of the Wall Street markets after
the opening of the new year. In stocks,
there is steady stream of buying, in
anticipation Of January opening with q
higher range Of values and with a re-
newal of activity in the commercial
markets.

As class, / think our Ger man resi-

brethren. For instance. the Eintracht
Society gave an entertainment yester-
day which was attended and enjoyed by
all the members of their families. The

fact that the members not only proyi-
ded presents for their own chi 'dren,
