Jane. J. HIl, ON Elk pans,on.

j. Hill, president of the Grsa,
Northern, has been in Washington
inspecting his railroad properties in
that state. While in Seattle few
days ago he was called upon for a
toast at banquet. He declared his
views on expansion, and the possibil-
ity of developing Oriental trade for
this country in way that leaves no
doubt as to what direction Mr.. Hill is
now looking. Among other things he
said:
SIN October, 1896, my friends in the
east did not want to shut down their
steel mills. I said to them; why
not build on Chinese and Japanese
rail contracts? II you will bid low
enough I will make you rate on the
rails. We carried 1900 tons and
lost money, but had the fun of doing
business. made a rate OF 40 cents
per thousand to Yokohama. The next
year they sent go, 600 tons. Last fall
we could have carried 80, 900 tons, but
did not have the ships. In one week
last November we refused $4,000 bales
of cotton bound for. Asia. We could
carry it by land, but would have to
drop it at the seaboard.
81 am an expansionist," said he.
81 believe in carrying our civiliza.
ton anywhere. Let it follow our
commerce. Without growth we would
not have civilization Without terri
tory our $4,000, 600 people would be
nothing but mob. We want boats.
We want to extend our commerce on
the Pacific. We want to know that the
water il receding over the face of the
earth. If we ever get into trouble
again we don't want to be told to
leave in twenty-four hours. We want
to protect our ships after they make
6,000-mile voyages. +
Il believe in calling q spade a
spade. The other fellows began this
thing, and we are going to throw all
the responsibility on shem. We des
sire to use the Philippines, Let us
say we want to extend our commerce
to all the world. We need the islands
as base of operations. Germany
bought q few third-class islands out
there. She paid a high price for them,
too. We may have to pay more than
money for our possessions. We will
leave many OF our boys on foreign
soil. We fought the Mexican war
and left many heroes behind. Yet we
are not sorry we fought the Mexican
war. "
"Let us keep our eyes on the objec-
tive point and march to the front.
We will get there in time. Our people
are able to solve any question if you
give them show for their white alley.
Don't make them carry burden the
other fellow does not have to carry. "

A Christmas Tree Feature.


Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
hance the children's delight In the
Christmas tree and, once made, can be
used year after year. Buy up dozen
or more Of 5 and 10 cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some Japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues of spangled gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll should
be provided with a dainty pair Of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa
per and fastened to the body by means
Of concealed wires. These wires should
be coiled to obtain motion in the wings,
and nothing better can be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out of
wornout wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral to
quivering, causing the wings to move
as If in fight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls in hover
Ing positions over and around the tree.
The effect is magical. Every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above and around
the tree, as If the invisible fairies OF
the air had come down to join the
Christmas glee.AWoman' Home Com

Rearing Home the Yule Log.

In the Black mountains at the pres
ent day the custom Of bearing home
the Yule log is still carefully observed
in all it's ancient detail. The housefa-
ther fells the chosen trees. Then he
utters a prayer and carefully lifts up
his log and bears it home on his shoul-
der. His sons follow his example,
each bearing log for himself. The IA
ther then leans his log up against the
house, being very careful that the
freshly cut end is uppermost. The
lesser logs Of the other members sur
round it, and this is the Glavni Badn-
jak. AS the housefather places each
log he says, "Veseh badnji dan" or
"a merry log day"
The fire thus kindled was not allow
ed to 90 out until the following year
or great evil would befall the house
hold. The fagots of the old fire lighted
the new logs and then were carefully
e1tinguished and stored away among
the household treasures. In the high
lands of Scotland to this day 1t Is con-
sidered q great misfortune If the fire
is allowed to 60 out. and often one
hears it said. "Yae nae luck, ye've lect
oot the fer."-Boston Herald.

YULETlDE GAMES.
snapdragon a Diversion Popular In
ENGLAND.

England.
Little known in this country, snap
dragon Is q diversion In which in Eng
land young and old participate through
out the Christmas season. Apparently
it is dangerous pastime. Really it is
harmless, and no one ever suffers an
accident through playing it. Babies OF
or 4 years engage In it with great
glee, in which there is an admixture OF
fear, but nerve generally conquers,
and once in the game they cannot be
kept out Of it.
The requisites Of snapdragon are one
or two large platters such as roasts are
served on, some large, fat raisins,
little brandy or gin, match and q
darkened room. The platters are ar
ranged thus: If there is but one and
the party is Of moderate number, 1t Is
laid in the center of dining table. If
the number> Of participants Is large,
then two platters are laid, one at each
end of the table, or there may be two
small tables, with q platter on each.
Next the raisins are laid over each
platter, singly and at short distances
apart. A small quantity Of brandy or
gin ID then poured over each platter
and ignited. Put out all the lights In
the room, leaving none but that from
the dancing blue flames In the platters.
Everybody looks weird and feels un-
canny, and the fun begins. Each par
ticipant snaps at raisin on the dish,
and, hit or miss, the blue fame clings
to the fingers in writhing, forked
tongues, thus providing the dragon"
The raisins are all finally secured, the
flames die out, the lights are turned on,
and the company is ready for another
diversion, unless, as is often the case,
there is a call for repetition Of the
fun just ended.-San Francisco Post
Magazine.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.

Decoration of Evergreens and Flow
ers IL of Pagan Origin.
The Christmas decorations may have
originated in the saturnalia or IN the
old Teutonic practice Of hanging the
interior Of dwellings with evergreen
as refuge for sylvan spirits from the
inclemency of the winter, but the
Christmas tree is Of German origin.
It Is their chief ornament and symbol
It is not used for the hanging Of gifts,
but it is used entirely as bright orna-
ment, being made to glisten with
lights and tinsel.
1t is kept throughout the II days Of
Christmas and at intervals is lighted
and on New Years eve. Is lighted for
all night. ~. ... -.
The custom Of decorating dwellings
and churches with evergreen was
known by the Christians to be rem
nanu Of paganism and was. forbidden
by the council. but it had too strong
hold to be. given up.
Even in Boston Justice Samuel Sew
all cried out against it, but it crept to
its place by. degrees. Holly and ivy
were favorites in Great Britain, being
regarded as sacred emblems Of the
season.
Holly used in churches was kept by
families to insure lucky year.
The mistletoe was held in so much
veneration by the pagans that it was
cut with a golden sickle by the prince
of the Drhds, with whom it first ap-
pears.
The Introduction Of flowers to the
tokens Of festivity seems to have e1-
listed universally and at all times Of
history. 1t was pagan manifesto
ton Of rejoicing, and, although forbid
den by the early church and de-
nounced by the Puritans Of NeY Eng
land, it became a general custom.
While obliged to give credit to early
anu heather notions for much Of the
Christmas which we so fondly cherish,
we can but remember our own Ben
jamin Franklin for the one motto as
being American, "a good conscience
is a continual Observation-Disclosures

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.

The Banquet In Old England Was an
Event of Great Ceremony.
The Christmas banquet Of mediae-
val times was very brilliant affair,
followed by spectacular performances,
particularly at court, where process
sions, dancing and the acting Of ale
gor1es were favorite amusements. Be-
sides the representations, the ballet
frequently acted some simple story. A
favorite allegory represented Prone
theus stealing the spark from heaven
and making bis escape. Vulcan and
Venus forging the bolts Of Joye, the
fall of Phaetop, the love. of Semele
and It's fatal catastrophe, and Love
and Beauty setting the universe Oh
fire with their united power.
From the time Of Henry VIII until
nearly the close Of the seventeenth CEN
tury boar's head was favorite dish on
Christmas day. This was an event Of
great pomp and ceremony. After the
guests had assembled around the fes-
tive board the procession of retainers
appeared. lQeu- ....... a"r

At Queens college, Oxford, the
bringing In Of the boar's head was at
tended with professional honors. The
boar's head was carried in by the
strongest Of the guardsmen, singing 8
merry stave.
The turkey az Christmas dish was
introduced into England in the six
teenth century and is therefore. Of less
antiquity than the huge sirloin Of beef
or the mince pie. Mince pies were first
shaped like a manger, as were the
Yule cakes given out by the bakers to
their customers. Aince pie was also
long ago accepted rs typical Of the
riches and spices brought by the three
wise men to the Child in the manger.
The plum porridge later developed
into the plum pudding, which dates
from 1875. At the old Christmas
feasts peacocks and cranes formed
some Of the dishes. Before being roast
ed the peacock was carefully skinned,
and after leaving the oven the bird
was reclothed with its old plumage.-
