Christmas Day.

For 1,400 years Dec. % has been set
apart by Christendom as the day on
which shall be celebrated, with devo-
tional exercises and great rejoicing,
the birth of Jesus Christ. Learned
men have disagreed for centuries re-
garding the actual day, or even sea-
son. that the Savior was born, but
custom has fixed upon our Christ
mas" as the birthday"
With the spread of Christianity this
greatest of all Christian holidays took
the place of more ancient festivals.
The Romans had long celebrated June
81, the longest day in the year, as
midsummer festival, or "Saturnalia."
Then the masters served the servants
and the Romans gave themselves up
TO feasting and revelry and misrule
generally. From this celebration
many of our Christmas customs took
their origin-the custom of decking
the houses with laurels and ever
green's, the custom of giving presents
and the practice Of engaging in lively
games and sports.
In the north of Europe semi-barbar-
Gus peoples kindled huge bonfires in
honor OF the gods Odin and Thor, and
the Druids gathered mistletoe. then
sacred plant, particularly if found
growing on the oak. These customs
were adopted as part Of the Christmas
celebration.
The early Goths and Saxons cele-

year, as the time when the sun ceased
to look coldly upon the earth. and
when the days began to lengthen with
the approach of spring. Then was
cut the "yule log'-for the season was
called Jul, or Yuletide. In later years
the yule log was placed on the hearth
on Christmas eve and allowed to burn
till bedtime. Then 1t was carefully
pulled out of the Goals and placed in
the cellar for use in lighting the yule
log of the following year. 1t was be-
lieved that the preservation of this
charred log protected the house from
fire during the subsequent year. In
this custom originated the one of pre-
pairing the Christmas yule log, so pop
ular in England.
So. when you play "snapdragon"
and host of other Christmas games,
or II you act with unusual license I'M
der the mistletoe, or sit around the
yule log and tell hobgoblin tales while
the corn pops and the coal cracks, you
may remember that you are doing
somewhat as did the old Romans, and
AS did the barbarous nations of the
north long before Christ was born

BAD WIND STORM
Causes the Loss of Considerable Property
and Few Lives In Pennsylvania.

ana Few Lives In Pennsylvanln.
Reports from towns near Pittsburg
show that the recent wind storm was
prevalent throughout that entire Sec
ton of the state. At Taylorstown,
over so oil rigs were demolished, the
loss reaching about $4,000. At Wells
vile, o., many buildings were un-
rooted, fences and trees blown down,
telegraph and telephone wires pros
trated. Four large stacks, $50 feet
high, of the Wellsville Plate IL Sheet
Iron Co., were blown directly across
the Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad
tracks. Greensburg, Pa, reports the
storm worst ever experienced there.
Telegraph and telephone wires con.
Meeting the towns and villages with
this place were rendered useless and as
a result the exact extent g. the damage
cannot be told. In the country dis

parts, trees have been cast across the
public highways, rendering travel out

Foreign correspondents report that
the Industrial associations and the syn
dicates of Berlin have Jointly agreed to
call meeting for the purpose of franz
ing a petition to the Prussian govern
ment calling attention to the enormous
damage suffered in expectation to
Scandinavian countries by reason of
the continued systematic expulsion
from northern Schleswig of Danes,
Swedes and Norwegians. The petition
will ask that the policy Of expulsion be
speedily discontinued. Reports from
throughout Germany show the urgency
of this move on the part of the manu-
featuring and exporting interests. The
Danes, especially, are severing their
commercial relations with German
merchants out of resentment for the
eviction of their ow-countrymen
from Prussia. One firm in Brunswick
has been ruined by the sharp falling off
in business, and has been forced to dis
charge 300 employees in consequence.
Similar reports come from Frankfort.
In Berlin and Nuremberg, Austrian and
Italian exporters are now taking the
place of the Germans, who formerly
controlled the field.

Political banks" organized to re-
ceive-and juggle with-the funds of
municipalities or states, have yielded
many shameful chapters of financial
history. An occurrence of another
sort has just taken place in Phila-
delphia, where the president of
such bank, which had failed, has
given his personal check for $4,000
in order that the depositors may be
paid in full. II was the president of
that bank" he told the receiver; 81
am responsible for more than the
amount l would have to pay as an
assessment upon my holdings of stock,
and l am going to pay more" The
president did a creditable thing when
he went beyond the laws requirements
to guard the business men who had
trusted him; but perhaps he felt that,
since he had got into bad company
and stayed-he deserved to lose his
money.

The extent to which live stock rails
ing is becoming a southern industry
is best exemplified by stating that in
nine months of the present year Ala
bama, Louisiana and Mississippi COM
bined have sent 1900 cars of cattle
direct to the market at st. Louis, be-
sides those that went to people Of
Texas and the Indian territory: these
being finished on other grounds lose
their identity before coming to market.
The significance Of this statement re-
quires explanation, and is given in the
assertion that in years gone by a
dozen cars of cattle has been a liberal
yearly run to st. Louis from the three
