New York, Dec. 1S-In the times gone

whoever had the biggest house and the
most money gave dinner and asked to it
all her relations-sisters, cousins and
aunts, and all the masculine contingent as
well-to eat and eat and eat until eating
ceased to be a pleasure and indigestion be-
came a certainty. That was the day of the
turkey, the mince pie and the cranberry
sauce, the big punches of celery and the
homemade sweet pickles; the day Of the
heavily laden table. warranted to take
away ones appetite at once, provided one

have grown civilized. We have changed
all that nowadays. To the distant relations
we send a Christmas dinner with bunch
of holly berries and our compliments; then
off we scamper to the country for o week
and invite a house party for that time. 1t
is no longer the thing to be in town on
Christmas day. The giving of a Christmas
party has become a matter Of so much inn
portance that the mistress devOtes all her
artistic taste to what shall appear in the
dining room and all her cleverness to Civ

Christmas Eve, before the little ones go
to bed, they take their little wooden shoes
and scour them carefully inside and out,
and polish up the roughened spots on
them. Each child selects his best pair OF
shoes, if he has any choice, and polishes
until the shoes look like new.
Just before going to oed the shoes are
filed with oats and placed on the hearth.
The hay is laid by the side of them. The
little Hollander then says good night to
his shoes and to Santa Claus and goes to
bed to sleep until morning.
Holland children sleep in little beds that
are in small closets that open out of the
room. The closets are built in the walls,
and they have doors that close tightly.
Holland boys and girls cannot hope to
peep out upon Santa Claus, for they0are
securely walled up, and the door is not
opened until morning. c. L. Goodwin.

children do a great deal more.
Early on the morning of the day before
Christmas they begin to gather provisions

oats are brought into the kitchen and
sifted until they are free from dust. They

DAILY OCCUPATION.

1t is not unusual to Danish from this
portion Of life any idea or hope of peace
That is kept for the evening, when labor is
over and the comforts of home and rest
take its place, Or it is reserved for the
evening of life, when exertion ceases and
energy droops, or it is relegated to some
time in the future, when sufficient means
have been secured to make work appear
unnecessary. 1t stands for the realization
in some way of ease, comfort, leisure, lux
ury, opportunity. On the other hand. toll
effort, hardship, struggle, are all put in
opposition to it. Thus men will often live
lives of labor and sacrifice, hoping by this
means to obtain peace and tranquility when
the toll is over, but to unite the two, to
enjoy peace in toll, tranquility in effort,
seldom occurs to them. Yet no peace
worth having exists without power, and
power must have its outlet in activity

Agricultural School-Branch Road to Wood Copper Mines.

Henin, May 19.-(Specal Correspond ence.)-Heflin has sent in hsr bid for the agricultural school of the Fourth dis trict, and in response has a letter from Gov. Johnston stating that he, Commis
 sioner of Agriculture Culver and Super intendent of Education Turner will all be in Hsfiin Saturday. The Hefiin peo- pie feel quite sure of the school, as there are so many reasons why she should have it. Hefiin is one of the healthiest places in Alabama. No parent In the entire d.s- trict could object to sending a child to He1in on account of location. Heflin is situated on the Southern railroad and has all the advantages in transp 5rtation that this celebrated road can give.

They find the mines very rich, and the work profitable but the transDortation So slow ard tedious. The ore IS now bs- ing drawn by oxen. It being heavy so little can be carried at load. Should this mineral road be built, which is ai- most certainty. there will be a refining
