Ancient Breton Custom.

In Brittany quaint and very beauti,
full custom of Christmas giving is still
preserved from very ancient times.
When the country folk go to the mid.
night mass, the opening mass of Christ,
mas day, they all carry lanterns to light
them ON their way. Upon their arrival
at the church they give their lanterns
over to the poor old women of the par
ish, who are gathered in a crowd out,
side the church awaiting them.
The worshipers enter the sacred build,
ing and then attend TO the devotions,
which the church teaches should be Of
especial fervor at this holy season. But
when the mass is ended and they are
dismissed with the benediction, they
come forth to find the patient old women
awaiting them outside the church bear,
ing the lanterns. The lanterns are given
back to their owners, and as each takes
his own he exchanges for it a piece Of
money. The value Of the piece varies,
but the aims is always considerable, and
it stands as an exponent Of that charity
which the church teaches to its chill
dren. New York Herald

The Genesis of Commerce.

Back, far back, in the uncouth ages,
the commercial traveller began his ar
duous work. In his small, rude boat he
Rugged the wild shores beating up
trade. No money had he, for none had
been coined, but he had coarse fabrics
and trinkets to barter for crude stuff,
for peltries, for guns and for now and
then bits of suggestive metals and once
in awhile for attractive. slaves. At the
risk of his life he ventured afar and
sought trade. He was the avant courier
of the present days vast commerce.
After him in the process of time came
greater ships and longer and more fire.
quent caravans. Great houses and firms
sprang into life, concerns that sent out
travelling men, sent out their agents to
seek for commodities with which to
load the ships and caravans. In like in
terest, they wandered more or less from
point to point, from hut to hut, from
port to port, trafficking and preparing
for traffic and shipment, slowly but
surely educating the wild world in
matters of useful interchange of the
products of the times, laying the first
foundation stones of the commerce
which now is ours.-Hardware.

hungry and that the whole arrangement
was unexpected may have had some
thing to do with our enjoyment of the
luncheon, but it was agreed that it was
the most perfect of the quick kind we
had ever seen. The bottom of the wire
lunch basket was covered with piece
of glass, and paper beneath it bore the
request in German, French and English
to leave the empty basket with the train
hand. "
Managers Of quick lunch places say
that the automatic restaurant would
not be patronized sufficiently to make it
pay i'll New York.
1.-THE main object Of the automatic
arrangement, said one, "is to do away
with walters and save the outlay on
that account. We have accomplished
that end by making every man his Own

machines falling off i'll trade and coun-
terfeit coins would make a change from
our present system to the automatic an
expensive experiment. As to the quick
lunches for travellers on railway trains,
much can be done, and no one knows
that better than the traveller who is
compelled to make meal of what he
can buy from the dealer in pies, apples
and sandwiches who hawks his wares
through the cars. The buffet and the
dining cars have reduced his field of
operation, but he is still in business,
selling the same old sandwiches to the
people who cannot afford to ride in
drawing room cars, and to them the
quick lunch on the plan of those which
they have in some parts of Europe would
be a blessing New York Tribune.
