Why Children Hang Stockings,

The custom of hanging stock
ings on Christmas eve, like that
of preparing the Christmas tree,
is derived from the Germans,
who have a fable that while the
stockings of good children are
filled with toys and sweetmeats
by Khris Kingle d corruption of
Christ Kindlin, or Christ Child
those of bad ones receive moth.
ing but small rod or switch
which is placed in them by anoth-
er parsonage, known as Pelsnich-
oil, literally Nicholas in fur. 1t
is q rare sight on a Christmas
morning in a German household
to see the expression of abject
misery and observation-disclosures
on the face of some poor little
wight who, having been dis
obedient or naughty on Christ
mas eve, finds in his stocking
only a small birch rod, while the
hosiery of his brothers and sis
ters is filled with bonbons and
playthings. The dread of get
ting the rod from old Pelsnichol
on Christmas keeps many a Ger
man child in order throughout
the entire year.

Japanese Children.

A Japanese child years old can
swim like a fish, and often children
who will not learn of their own ac-
cord are repeatedly thrown over
board until they become expert
swimmers. In the harbor children
seem to be perpetually tumbling
overheard, but the mothers deliber-
ately pick them out of the water
and, cutting them a little, go on
with their work. 1t is really aston
ishing at what age these boys and
girls will learn to scull boat. A
boat 20 feet long most adroitly
managed by three children, all
under Z years Of age, is no uncom-
mon sight.

A Fortunate Defect.

In the "reminiscences" Of Henry
Angelo is set down the history
of NJ. Liviez, a Frenchman who
married an English wife and took
up his residence in London. The
story of his courtship is at once ro-
mantle and funny.
One Sunday the gentleman went
to church and found himself seated
on a line with a remarkably hand
some woman. The aisle was be-
tween them, but so beautiful was
she that, having glanced at her once,
NJ. Liviez could not refrain from
looking again. Then, to his delight,
he found that she was looking at
him.
AT intervals during the service he
found her glance turned his way,
and as she seemed to be a lady of
proper and devout behavior he
could not help thinking that such an
impropriety meant an overwhelm-
ing interest in him.
He followed her home, and hay
ing found out where she lived OBJ
tained an introduction to her
through common acquaintance.
Strange to say, it was not until they
were actually engaged to be mar
ried that he gently reminded her of
having looked at him in church.
Then he discovered that she had
never seen him at all. She had
been looking at the pulpit all the
time, and he had not guessed it.
For--the lady squinted.

"Old Sport" a Hero.

"Old Sport, a big, black, shag-
gy Newfoundland dog, will be
presented with as handsome a
silver mounted collar as William
G. Morrissey, his master, can
buy. For "Old Sport, is as true
and brave dog as ever rubbed
his nose against the knee of man
Morrissey's eight-year. old Will
lie was playing on Wednesday on
pier at the foot of Twenty-first
street, Bensonhurst, N. Y. He
was wrestling with "Sport. "
They got near the edge of the pier
in their play, and when "Sport"
arose to paw at the little fellows
chest the boy lost his balance and
fell into the freezing water.
The lad was heavily dressed.
He wore stout REFER jacket and
big rubber boots. So, when he
struck the water, the boy, al
though a swimmer, could not
keep ahoat. He shrieked in de-
spair as he sank, for the little
fellow realized that heavily bur
dened as he was, he would not
rise again.
But "Old Sport" had no inten-
ton of standing there merely bar
king while his little master
drowned. The Newfoundlan dog
plunged after the boy, dived un-
der the thin ice, aud took the lads
coat collar firmly in his teeth.
Then he swan to shore.
Willie was not unconscious. He
got on his feet and started for
home, with "Old Sport" trotting
beside him. The lads home is
on Twenty first street, not far
from the pier; but when he was
about half way there his clothes
began to freeze on him, and the
little fellow was chilled and weak
ened. He began to totter, and
then he fell.
cold Sport" acted instantly.
He seized the lads coat collar in
his strong teeth again, and tried
to drag him home. But the boy
is stout, and it was slow work for
Sport" big dog though he is.
Mrs. Morrissey, however wor-
ried by the absence of the lad,
came out of the house to look for
him. Then she saw the dog pant.
ing and tugging at the form of
the unconscious lad. She bore
the little fellow home, cut away
the icy clothing, and wrapped
him in heated blankets.
Half an hour later Willie, cloth
ed in woolen blankets to the neck,
sat before roaring fire, and "Old
Sport" was stretched at his feet,
blinking at the flames and his
coat quite warm and dry.
Last winter Mr.. Morrissey's
daughter, Marie, a child of ten,
was playing on the ice in the bay
when the ice broke and she fell
in. "Sport" dived between the
broken ice and brought her to
safety.
So Morrissey, who is a wealthy
real estate broker, has decided
that "Old Sport" must be pre-.
sented with a most magnificent
collar.

GERMAN SUGAR OUTLOOK
is PICTURED AS BEING DARK
INDEED.
cuba Looms Up ON The German Grow
ers Horizon as Dark Cloud-Wheat
Crop a Failure.

WASHINGTON. Novembe 3.-"The
obvious and sustained fiendlness Of
the United States Government TO Cuba,
the impending increase of sugar produC-
zion ina Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines, added to the steady and
rapid development of the beet sugar
industry throughout large area of the
United States, all point to an inevitable
and definite decline i'm European sugar
exports TO our country
This statement appears i'm an inter-
estng report from Consul-General Ma
son at Berlin to the state Department
dated October 4th. showing the damage
which the sugar production of Cuba in
particular is dealing to the sugar eN-
porters of Europe. II is generally
recognized, says Mr.. Mason, that the
beet sugar industry of Central Europe
is approaching critical juncture.
Germany, Austria Hungary, France
and Russia, it is stated. are now gather
ing a beet crop which will yield an
output of sugar far surprising i'm guam
tity that of any previous year. Unfor-
tunately for Germany this overwhelm-
ing production comes at a time when
industrial depression and a short wheat
and rye crop have seriously reduced the
purchasing capacity of the poorer
classes A high commercial authority
says Mr.. Mason. estimates the decline
i'm sugar consumption i'm Germany dur
ing the fiscal year at $4,000 tons.
ITO complete and still further darken
the shadow" says the Consul-General
Cuba has reappeared as a vigorous and
threatening competitor i'm the United
States, which during the past years has
taken an average Of 2S3,000 metric tons
of German sugar, valued AT Sl2,6l4,OOO
per annum." These conditions, 1t is
stated, have sent the price of sugar in
the market at Magdeburg down to the
lowest point reached during the critical
year 1S94-95.
Great interest has been awakened in
Germany by the recent visit to WASH
ington Of Governor General Wood Of
Cuba and the conviction is growing
that Notwithstanding all doubts and
suspicious, Cuba is really about to begin
the c2reer of an Independent state under
the generous and sympathetic protec-
tiou of the United States. and under
conditions which will favor the develop
ment of the sugar industry Of the ISL
and to a point beyond the highest pro-
ductiveness of former years.
