Christmas,

An old song preserved in the Har.
lelan manuscripts in the British mus
uem, asserts that 1t Is peculiarly lucky
when Christmas falls on a Sunday.
"That wynter shall be good" 1t says;
"the somer shall be faire and drye,'
and the year that follows Christmas
will be good TYNE all thyngs to
dom"
II there Is any virtue in the old su-
perstition, 1899 should be a cheerful
twelvemonth, For our own nation,
indeed, It promises we'll. And It would
seem singularly fitting that q happy
year should begin with the years hap
piest day.
Luck" alone will not ensure pros
perity or contentment But the Com
panlon, while wishing Its readers O
merry Christmas, assures them Of q
good tyne" to follow, IL through all
the months they cherish the Christmas
spirit-the disposition to make the
most of ones blessings and the best
Of ones troubles, and to be thoughtful,
hopeful, generous and kind.

La Porte, Texas, Is now attracting
the attention Of the business men Of
the United States and during 1900
great interest will be manifested In It.,
Owing to an advantageous natural To-
cation It Is destined to enjoy growth
in commercial manufacturing and
shipping interests which millions OF
dollars in advertising and years Of en-
ergetic promotion could not give 1t
were It not so favored by nature. Men
of affairs with large experience In the
upbuilding OF cities are predicting a
future for La Porte which II but half
realized will make 1t the greatest sea-
port on the Gulf Of Mexico and indeed
one Of the principal seaports Of the
United States as well as city Of great
Importance in the manufacturing, rail-
road and commercial world. 1t Is at
the head OF Galveston Bay In the cele-
brated coast country Of Texas and has
a summer and winter climate which
makes 1t a resort for travellers the year
round The farming land surrounding
1t is as fine as any in the UnNed
States.

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.


"Gft-maklng Ia one of the most
gracious features OF Christmas, and
one that | pray may survive all other
outgrown customs" writes Florence
Hull Wlnterburn, In the Woman's
Home Companion, when love and
sympathy are close counselors there ia
little fear that we shall make the mis-
take OF leaving out Of our little one's
stocking the particular thing he has
set his heart upon getting. And II his
choice Is beyond us TO crafty, let US
come as near TO II as we can, and not
convert this season into sort OF con-
venlence for ourselves, thrusting upon
his reluctant acceptance such prosaic
articles as shoes, hats and other essen
tlals OF tho toilet. Far prettier Ia the
German custom Of bestowlng gaudy
trifles that have no use In themselves
but are part Of the glitter and fashion
OF the holiday. When It is possible
nothing is 80 good to have as the ira
dltlonal Christmas tree, In after years
memory hangs upon II fondly, and we
bless In our hearts the kind hands that
took 30 much trouble to give us pleas
ure.
Then the stocking hung up on
Christmas eve has a romance all Its
own. The breakfast table dressed with
holly-berrles and gifts piled under
snowy napkins Is q graceful custom,
and Is far nicer than the blunt hand
Ing out OF our gifts, Some trouble
should be taken TO create the welcome
element OF surprise. We all like 1t,
but 1t ia one Of the greatest delights
In a child's experience. He finds out
before we would choose to have him
that what is looked forward to most
eagerly seldom turns out we'll. II Is
sad philosophy, yet true, that 1t 10
dangerous to set ones heart on any
thing in this world. But the love that
hides Its intention until the hour OF
fulillment, and then lets out Its secret
In an outburst OF generosity, is the
best substitute that Is ever offered for
the special Providence-Santa Claus,
and all other gracious myths.
AN example Of generosity is seldom
lost upon children II 1t is true, not
artificial. They are very willing to
live up to their little knowledge, II we
allow them the chance, and part Of
our duty to the day Is to encourage In
our young people the same kindness
we cultivate In ourselves. 1t is 30
much easier to learn in youth to be
genial, sympathetic and generous than
1t Is after embttering experiences have
hardened our hearts"
