The time of fixing the religious festi-
val was not chosen, however, with
out ample cause. Like most of the
Christian holidays, it is primarily due
to pagan precedent. Nearly all the pa
gan peoples considered the winter H.
stice, Dec. 21 as momentous point of
the year. Then nature began the re
newal Of her active powers, and the
gods, who were originally but Lie caIe,-
tial personifications of those, wers SIP
posed to revive their care Of interest in
man. Consequently those peoples m .rk-
ed the period with festivities and cele-
brations of many sorts. And when
Christianity arose the old hsttnea
spirit was transferred to evangelical
agencies and reproduced in evangelical
rites.

Young TaXidermist.

]. d, Seabury, the young man who
assists DR.. NJ. E. Grossman at his dent
al parlors, Hotel street, has become
quite a taxidermist during the past
year. While Milton J. Flood OF Clinton,
Mass, was here he taught Mr.. Seabury
how to mount birds and animals. The
young man profited by the instruction
given, and each bird he shot, he took
particular pains to mount. He became
more and more apt, and now makes
quite little at mounting birds and ami
mails for people. In DR.. Grossman' s
office is large wild peacock as natural
as in life, and mounted in most nat
ural attitude. In private residences OF
the city are other birds prepared by
Mr.. Seabury.
