Pictures and other votive objects
were attached to the laurel OF Apollo.
Summing up all the evidence, 1t GER
tainly seems that the Christmas tree
hung with gifts has descended to us
from the times when decorated trees
laden with offerings were worshiped
as representatives OF the abstract
Universe tree" whose trunk was the
cosmie axis, whose roots were In the
underworld, and whose branches, lift
ed aloft into the skies, bore up the
heavenly hosts.
The custom OF decorating the church
es with greenery at Christmas had its
origin in a pagan ceremony. The
great feast Of Saturn was held in De-
cember, when the worshipers hung the
temple with such green things as they
could find; and the Christians adopted
the same method to celebrate the birth
of the Savior. giving it an emblematic
turn by referring to the righteous
branch" and justifying it from Isaiah
So: 13-"The glory of Lebanon shall
come unto thee. the fir tree. the pine
tree and the box together to beautify
the place of my sanctuary"
The holly. or holy tree, is called
Christ's thorn In Germany and Scan
dinavia, from its use in church decora-
tions and its putting forth Its berries
at Christmas time.

Cloth aud veive. Costumes.

A novelty costume Is made OF velv
and suiting. The yoke, vest and out,
half of the sleeves are of velvet. T.,
suiting is used in the sleeves In
somewhat unusual fashion. The und.
portions of the sleeves have extensios
on their front edges which come ov
the velvet in points and fasten wi
buttons in line almost exactly on I
outside of the arms. Deep A-shap
cores of velvet are set in the scar
of the skirt. These cores are edg.
with tiny satin buttons, match
those on the sleeves but OF mu
smaller size.

Stunning Big NUTS.

1t would seem, indeed, that we are
returning to the days of Gainsborough
when we see the enormous muffs ex-
hibited at the fashionable shops, as
the latest creations for the coming
winter.
Some are entirely of fur. while 9TH
ers have wide plating of black net or
CHIFFON and center of fur. A very
pretty model has center of black vel

side and a large bow of black satin
ribbon.

years to obtain this information have been without result, and the unvarying answer is, "Moul bakey bechu'' (Some little rock). It is positive, however, that the stone was immersed while bored, and experiments in dicate that either of the three minerals mentioned renders the process possible, though excessively tedious. The water tempered file, attenuated and tapering to a point is the tool now in use. As with the ka yah, borings are made from each side and reamed out where the cones meet.

 It is recorded that the wild tribes soon detected the cheat and cast them out with abhorrence. Tradition confirms the record with added details of how three Russian traders of charlil kol (devil's beads) were taken unawares and their heads burned with the beads.
 Visitors at the rancheria cannot fail to note the number of coiners at work, and, knowing that wampum has no favor with the grocer, often ask why so much labor is spent on money that will not buy.
 No, it does not directly buy any more than our dollar would in some ultra-for- eign shop. It must be exchanged first and the coin of that country proffered instead. So with the Pomo. When in need of a commodity and short of cash he takes string of ka yah to his neighbor and ex- changes 120 pieces for silver dollar, or a $10 poh for $S cash He is content, while the neighbor makes a good brokerage on the transaction.

 On the Pacific slope on that beautiful mountain region north of San Francisco. a type of Indian still lives which preserves largely the ancient customs. Ethnolgogi- cally distinct void of ambition, with its fierce joys and sorrows, the Digger-to use the common, but incorrect general term for the Indians of Central and Southern Cali fornia-wends his humble way through the by-roads of civilization, stunning all cause for cavil or avarice of his white neighbor. Conspicuous in these characteristics are the Pomos of Mendocino county, California. Much of what the war-like eastern tribes have lost after vain though fierce resist ance the Pomos have retained by pacific diplomacy. In their intercourse with the white man peace and acquiescence have been their policy in every question but one. One single birth-right he yet jealously guards-his religious and financial customs. To the inutility of either to us he probably now owes his existence. The Jesuit fath- CTS established missions for his spiritual welfare, and their ardent labors have left only memories of a mysterious jargon and youthful days spent in drudgery. To this day the Pomo's faith in the coyote as the creator of all things, as Gillok, as the

The southern side of that long promontory which pro- jects just north of Bodega bay, and guards its entrance, has for countless years been the favorite, in fact, about the only fish camp for Indians in all that region. They come at regular intervals, ranging the beach In search of mollusks and other mar inc life cast up by the breakers.
 The Pomo can be termed bimetallist, for, though metal is used in his coinage, yet he aptly calls his white Ike yah "In- jun silver" and for gold he hints out stone called poh. Ka yah (water bone) comes from the two we'll known clam shells, Saxidormis gracilis and Cardium corbis.

Japanese Women.

Naturally there are no figures more
perfect than those of the Japanese
young women. The children, up to
the age of fourteen, or as long as they
have the free use of their limbs, are
models of symmetry. About that time
they begin to fasten long garments
about their hips, the effect of which is
to impede their gait and give them an
awkward shuttle. In course Of time it
does worse, and interrupts the develop
ment of the legs and thighs. Among
the labOring class an additional mis-
shaping is accomplished by the pTac-
tice of carrying burdens from an early
age upon the back, for the support of
which broad straps are passed over the
shoulders and crossed in front, press
ing directly on the breasts. When a
Japanese girl reaches the age of six
teen without having undergone either
OF the processes of deformity, she is
wonder to the eye, and remains so
until twenty-five, or possibly a little
later; then she ceases to charm for
certain period in any way, excepting
by her manner, and that is generally
preserved to the last. But as she
grows old she has a chance of becom-
ing quite delightful again. There is
nothing nicer than a dignified and
White-haired old Japanese lady. She
is always happy, for she is always
much respected and cherished by her
juniors, and at a certain age the nat
ural high breeding of the race appears
in her to attain it's capitalization.

A Good NeIRhbor.

There is large significance in the
phrase, "a good nsighbOr." 1t means
tact, generosity, thoughtfulness, sym
pathy, interest. It implies a nature
having the social quality coupled with
the quality of reserve. It speaks OF
an ear deaf to those things that relate
to family privacy and an eye open to
need. 1t signifies a tongue controlled
by prudence, mind suggestive Of
pleasant ways of helpfulness, a heart
impeIled to the doing of little kind
negsOg.
