OLD TIME CUSTOMS.
BY wlnona Butler.

Taere is no brighter fact in history
than Christmas. The golden thread OF
Its influence can be traced through
nearly nineteen centuries. On the first
Christmas morning the angels sang:
: Peace on earth, good will to men,"
The glad refrain has been repeated
each Christmas season in every Chris
tian land. though the character of the
music varies greatly.
Our ancestors were In the habit Of
forming companies which went from
mouse to house, singing Christmas
carols In the streets. These beautiful
carols would break the stiffness of the
winter night or early Christmas morn
Ing. making most delightful begin
ming to the merry day.
But these holy jubilees had as rivals
the mingling instruments OF those
wandering spirits of harmony-the
Waits" One author writes: MANY
and many time have we been
awakened by the melody of the Waits.
and have lain and listened to their
Wild music, Its solemn swells and 'dy-
Ing falls. kept musical by the distance
and made holy by the time, till we
could have fancled that the morning
stars were again singing as of old they
sang together for Joy and that the
sounds OF their far anthem came float
ing to the earth"
The German children probably be-
lieve more firmly In Kriss Kringle, or

any other nation. Germany is the birth
place Of Kriss Kringle. and the won-
derland Of fable and poetry. German
children are taught to love the
Christ-child. In many parts Of the
country 1t is the custom. on the morn
Ing before Christmas. to let a figure
representing the Christ-child wave
past the window of the room where the
little ones sleep. Half awake only, In
the gray Of the morning they see this
little child-hgure fit dimly past, and
they go to sleep again In the blissful
consciousness that the Christ child has
not forgotten them. and that they will
have an abundance Of presents around
the tree in the evening.

A Three Eyed Man.

A funny story is current at Paris con-
corning the expedition OF Lieutenant
Baron Hourst to the Niger river. II
seems that he took along with him a
number Of colored pictures Of Presi-
dent Faure. The dusky Babbarns Ia
dies had never seen an eyeglass before,
and their enthusiasm for the three
eyed sultan OF the French knew no
bounds. This led an unscrupulous
Partisan servant Of the baron to con-
ceive the bright idea OF wearing an
eyeglass himself. In order to show the
French SULTAN In life The result was
that all the native ladies' forsook their
lawful lords and followed him. There
was lively demonstration on the part
OF the Jealous chiefs. The photographs
and the deputy sultan had to be sup.
pressed In hot haste. and the entire ex-
peditlon beat speedy retreat to the
sea coast, Its object thus frustrated by
the means OF n monocle.
