Christmas Day.

christmas Is prominently church
festival" writes Mrs Lyman Abbott in
The Ladies' Home Journal. "The Puri-
tans seeing only the superstitions and dis
orderliness with which Christmas had be-
come incumbered, strove with all their
ardor to destroy 1t, but happily did not
succeed. The argument sometimes used
against It, that the birthday of the child
Jesus Is not known and therefore cannot
be observed, does not prevail against the
almost universal longing to celebrate in
some way this great event So we are not
surprised to learn that In the first GEN.
turtles of the Christian era Christians,
though generally celebrating the nativity,
were not unanimous in the time chosen
for the festival. AT least a part of the
early church observed the 9th of January,
not only to commemorate the Epiphany,
or the manifestation of Christ to the gen.
tiles, but also the birth of Jesus, and 1t
was not until the end of the fourth CEN
tury, perhaps not until the beginning OF
the fifth, that the present date, Dec. 25,
was generally accepted.
1.-THE Christmas season Is sometimes
used to designate the time between Dec.
16 and Feb. /, more often the fortnight
between Dec. "a and Jan. 6. During all
this period there was formerly and still
continues to be spirit of joy and festiv-
ity which entities it to be called the holt
days The vigil of the nativity, or, as we
now call 1t, Christmas eve, was observed
from the first with exceptional devotion,
perhaps because the birth of our Lord &C.

with Christmas itself, one great solem-

STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.
They WorA Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.


They WorA Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.
You often think it's hard for the pas-
senger conductor of an accommodation
train which stops at two or three sta
tions to the mile to tell who has paid
his fare and who has not The conduct
or or short run accommodation train
especially must be peculiarly gifted
man. lie must be at once both cool
headed and even tempered, or if not he
is total failure.
Bu~if the requisites of railroad
conductor are such, what are the re-
quirements Of the man who runs a COM
mon street car? Why, as much as those
OF the railroad man and several times
more. The railroad accommodation con-
ductor on one of the short run trains
which leave the big cities has little
more work, little more responsibility
and requires less real skill than the man
who by grace is called conductor" on
trolley car Of one of our cities.
Both men, of course, have thousands
OF cares. The railroad man has a certain
number Of stops to make and certain
schedule time allowed for getting over
his run OF the railroad. The street car
conductor has an uncertain number of
stops to make, yet he still has his GER
tain scheduled time to make ON his run,
and he must make it, too, or be able to
give an "A No. /" excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the
biggest man on his train. Is ever the
street car conductor the biggest, unless
every passenger is off and the motorman
also? These things make it hard for the
patient man, who must be polite and
who is expected by the company for
which he works and spurred on by
dozen or so sharp eyed spoilers, or
street car detectives" as they call
themselves, to feel as lovely as a spring
morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly So The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that phase of
existence once in decade, or if SO not
any oftener.
No one presumes to expect so much
from the knight Of the ticket punch as
he does from the knight of the trolley
rope Every one who travels on street
cars expects the conductor to know
every cross street ON his line and just
where it strikes that street, and, in
deed, he should know this much, but in
addition he is expected to know every
one who lives ON the streets along
which his line runs, every one who
lives on all the countless streets which
cross the route Of his car and then all
the immediate streets and their inhabit-
ants the whole length Of his line The
street car conductor is expected to be
porter as we'll on his car. He must help
people on and off. lift up and lift
down huge baskets and bundles, never
get tired of all the questions which
only the city directory could answer,
and then, in addition, keep all Of the
strict rules Of the company for which
he works and see to it that all of his
passengers do so too For this work he
gets 80 or 50. % a day. while the rail.
road conductor, who is a very king in
comparison, draws his IS or SO per day,
or $l25 a month, and is not classed as
social suspect" either. -Pittsburg
Dispatch.

Madame Octave Feuillet tells a pref
ty story Of her famous husbands youth
in Some Years OF Ny Life" During
the first few years of his literary la
bors, the author Of the Romance Of a
Poor Young Man" was himself poor
and struggling. His father, who had
desired for him a diplomatic career
was bitterly opposed to Octaye's
adoption Of literature as a profession
He even went so far as to refuse to
receive his son. and to Withdraw
from him his modest allowance.
but the young mans aspirations re-
manned unchanged. He set himself dill
igently to work at the labor of his
choice, full Of confidence in the future
During this saddened and restricted ne
Rod of his life, the only recreation he
allowed himself strange as it may seem
was dancing. ~Passionately fond of this
amusement, he devoted all of hfs leisure
evenings to it, regularly attending the
students balls, where he would dance
until he was redy to drop from ex-
haustion. The masked balls Of the on
era had for the hard working Young
writer IN especial fascination. One ey-
ening he 50 ardently desired to attend
one Of these balls that he pawned his
watch to obtain money enough to hire
a costume for the occasion. Now this
watch had been his mothers, and no
oon had he entered his attic room
than he began 70 reflect upon what he
had done. Remorse followed exhilar-
alton. He resolved to return the next
morning to the pawnshop, give back
the money and reclaim his watch. IL
passed the night" he said afterwards
gazing upon the ten francs / had re-
ceiyed, my heart beating painfully. nv
eyes filed with tears. and asking nv
self IL | would be strong enough to
absent myself from the ball" The fol-
lowing day he proved the strength of
his resolution by returning TO the
~pawnshop and redeeming his watch
AS In this instance he was, throughout
his whole life. actuated by a sense of
duty and constrained by the most DEL
icate sentiments.
