Of course you need not be told
of the origin of presenting gifts
at this season of the year. The
three wise men who followed the
star until it remained stationary
over the stable in Bethlehem,
and who, entering the howell
wherein were the COW and the
ass, knelt down before the beauti
full Babe in the manger, placed
before him presents of myrrh,
frankincense and gold. Their
example is the example that you
follow today, 1897 years after
the Magi made obeisance to the
Child Jesus, and when you place
presents before the little ones
who are made in the image of
the Divine Babe you are doing
what was done by the eastern
kings, but remember that to
carry out their example to the
full the babes in the hangers,
the little ones in novels, must
not be forgotten.
Most of our Christmas customs
come from the German. Kris
Kringle is a legendary myth
whose origin is involved in much
doubt. Formerly in the small
villages of Germany the presents
made by all the parents were
sent to some one person, who,
in high buskins, a white robe, a |
mask and an enormous flax wig, |
and known as Knecht Rupert, |
went from house to house. He
was received by the parents with
great reverence, and, calling, for
the children, presented the gifts
to them according to the ac-
counts of their conduct received
from the parents. 1t appears as
highly probable that this custom
gave rise to our present innumer-
able legends about Santa Claus. |

Though we don't know just
when the mistletoe first began to
play an important role at our
Christmas festivals, the first step
now for the proper celebration of
this happy event is to make the
house gay with their white,
flaxen berries and glossy green
leaves. There are in these ultra
refined and exclusive days, GER
tain persons, who object to the
hanging of wreaths and stars in
the windows, alleging that the
decorations are for those within
and not for those without. But
is not this a season of the year
when all good folk want even the
casual passerby to catch some
hint of the merriment within
doors, and the little green
wreaths with their sparkling
berries, are sign that says to
the world, 'tHere dwells a happy
family that wishes you wherever
you may be, merry Christ

The shopping season is always
disagreeable. Many man has
had to carry a bundle home for
his wife this week.
The Somerset reporter., 1897-08-12

The trolley roads, says Avian F. San
born in The Atlantic, are rapidly Gov
ering Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut with a network that is
slowly and surely redlStributing the
population. 1t seems almost inevitable
that great part of the present rural
area of these three states VIII ultimate
ly be included in the suburbs Of their
numerous and widely scattered indus
trial eenters and of then dozen or more
larger CITIES. When this condition ar
rives. If 1t does arrive, rural life will
have become suburban. and farming,
aside from market gardening, will have
practically Disappeared The bicycle and
good roads are exerting minor but
considerable influence in the same di-
rection.
Equally important is the fact that
large areas in all sections of New Eng
land are IN process Of transformation
from farms 10 sites of country seats
Residents Of the cities are coming more
and more to make their real homes in
the country. They are building their
country houses with more comfort and
more solidity, and are living i'll them a
much larger part Of the year than
formerly The country season extends
already from the lst Of May to the lst
of November and Is still iengthening.
Improved railway and steamboat trans
portation, the multiplication of large
fortunes, greater leisure, above all a
growing appreciation of the sports and
resources of country life, have contrib
uted to this result. 1t looks very much
as if our urban society were attaching
itself primarily to the land-living on
the land and leaving it for the city only
in the festive season. Whether this tend
ency will produce again IA landed aris-
tocracy instead of an aristocracy of other
forms of wealth who can say? One
thing only is sure-it would produce
thereby new New England.
The Somerset reporter., 1897-08-12
Good for the Wheel.

The denouncers of bicycling who are
seeking 10 undermine the moral character
or the wheel will do we'll to revise their
i'll considered charges against it. For
one thing there is reason TO believe that
the bicycle is proving to be one of the
most effective temperance reformers on
record, and has already done much to
restrict what our prohibition friends call
1.-THE gigantic crime of crimes 1t is
pointed out that the extended use of the
wheel has been eoincident with the de-
creased consumption of liquor in this
country, and there is strong argument to
show that relation of cause and effect
exists between these two facts. That the
liquor habit is growing weaker among
the American people is shown by the re-
cent statement of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue that during the past
year there has been a decrease of nearly
100000 gallons in the consumption of
whiskey and other spirits and of ,403,-
004 barrels in the consumption of beer
Now the great body of bcyclers today
are wage earners, who have been able to
buy their machines by economizing in
other directions, that Of drinking being
doubtless one of them. Then the wheel
ing habit makes impossible over indul-
gence in Intoxicating drinks as it re-
quires strong limbed and clear headed
riders. Excessive use of liquor and BIZ
cycling do not mix we'll together. One
or the other must be given up, and the
number of wheelmen, together with the
contemporaneous diminution in the
liquor statistics, tends to show that it is
the bicycle which is coming out ahead
