Some writer commends the fact of
the large barn and the small house as
an evidence of agricultural wisdom and
thrift We take exception to this.
No man has a right to take better care
of his stock than he does of his family,
and still we often find men doing this
very thing. The mans home, his wife
and children, are the most valuable pos
sessions he has and should always have
his first care and attention. We know
Of more than one poor woman who did
she but possess a cash value equal to
that Of a good COW in the big barn,
would at least get as good treatment
as the COW, but as it is she does not.

condition of the highways which could
not well be worse. An embargo was
placed upon travel. rural mail delivery
interfered with and a famine of wood,
hay and other bulky farm products
brought about in hundreds of towns

was such that nothing short Of an ex-
pensive system of paving or macadam-

use. AS a result there is the usual
clamor for improved highways.

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.
Quaint and Curious Ways of CeIe-
brating the Day.

Prof. Alex. Tile in New York Journal
Many of the legends echoing in the
oldest Christian hymns about the mir
acles of Christmas night still live
among the peasant folk OF the North
and South of Germany, the Baltic and
the Balkans.
In the farm lands OF Bruzzo, Lom-
hardy and Calabria / have heard peo-
pie tell, with every evidence of convic-
tion, that in the Christ-child's birth
hour-that is in and about the space of
time when He saw the light-the water
in rivers and seas turns to wine, while
the falling snow proves most delicious
nectar.
And" added the women, who in
those parts are still more credulous
than the male population, "at the very
moment when the angels sang their
Praise to God on High all the domes-
tic animals begin to talk, while the
trees blossom out gayly."
/ found the same belief current in
some of the least Travelled mountain
Businesses of Spain, but the fact that
n certain Arab writer of the tenth
century voiced similar legends in pop
ular songs may explain that.
But neither Italians nor Spaniards
are fond of birds, except when forming
part of a meal. In these countries
birds are hunted in many ways, and
both nobleman and peasant make their
determination a business. But on
Christmas Eve that savage habit gives
way to sentiment, and for once net
and fowler's rifle are abandoned. Ev-
cry householder, rich and poor, gives
the poor birds a fine spread on win
dow ledge, garden plot and back stoop
Why just then and on no other occa-
sion no one was able to TELL but I
traced the custom through ancient
tones to one followed by the old Ro-
mans, who at their Yule feast allowed
all creation TO participate in the pleas
ures of the table.

including Germany, practice the same
kind of charity in a more limited way
by giving their domestic fowls, chick
ems, pigeons, geese, ducks, etc, an extra
feed before they go to rest on Christ
mas eve; the inmates OF the hennery
are allowed to gorge themselves then
as on no other day in the year, and at
the supposed hour of the nativity a sec
ond extra meal is struggled into their
house. This must be done with all eau
tion lights and noise being tabooed. II,
