Wheth- CT the opposition to the new plan will be sufficiently general tO secure a res t0ratioD of the old method of fixing charges is doubtful. To avoid incur ring loss through the change. ship pers should make it a point to load so that, on arrival at their destination, the cattle will not fall below tha minimum weight required for a car.

Santa'$ Worksbop.

The principle workshop of SAINT
Claus, or rather, the place from which
he procures the tinsel and glass deco
rations for Christmas trees, is Thur
ingen-Wald, the forest of Thuringen
in central Germany. From this sec
ton come at least nine-tenths of the
worlds supply of the fimsy knick-
knacks and fragile ornaments which
adorn and beautify the Christmas
tree.
Every man, woman and child makes
these glittering baubles, and each cot
tage among the mountains is a COM
plete little factory, turning out as
many goods as the nimble fingers of
the family can procure. The difficult
task of blowing and shaping the
glass ornaments is performed by the
adults, While the work of putting on
the lustre and various minor details
is done by the children, who are very
skillful assistants to their elders. The
entire population possesses artistic
talent Of no mean order, and their
work shows their excellent taste in
designing and finishing the oldest
kind of ornaments, the majority of
which are decidedly original.
Each patient worker fashions his
particular pattern as suits bis fancy.
The blowers usually sit three to five
around the table, each one having in
front of him two pots, one containing

UNDER THE MISTLETOE

The mystic mistletoe bough then as
now granted a kissing charter to the
SWANS, and the maids were willing
regarded with religious generation by
the Druids, and it's berries of pearl as
symbols of purity and associated with
the rites of marriage. From this the
transition was but slight to the kiss
beneath the cabalistic Dough. This
traditional sacredness, the genesis of
which is unknown, has endured
through the ages, and today for man
and maid to meet beneath the mistle-
toe gives the right to sacred kiss

FUNERALS ON ICE.
How Winter Burials Are Conducted in
Germany.

About fifty miles south of Berlin, in
the SpreeWalde, on the borders of b.
nemia, funerals on the ice are of no
uncommon occurrence. Everyone is
perfectly at home on skates SO the
young men, skating, take the ropes at
Cached to the sleigh on which the cof-
lin is borne; the old men, women and
children follow, skating behind. The
skates used are old-fashioned in char
acter, tied with string. The men wear
black coats and hats on such occasions,
but the women vary their costume
with white hats, scarfs and aprons. In
iceland the same mode prevails, ex-
cept that snoWshoes are used in lieu Of
skates. In Venice all bodies are con-
veyed in boats to certain islands in the
Adriatic, used as cemeteries. In KAN
chatka the dead are drawn to their
graves on sleighs by dogs.-London
