ON CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Problem of Choosing Suitable
Presents at YuletIde.

For melancholy proof of mans genu-
Inc incapacity we have but to turn to
the belated creatures who at Christmas
time write daily to the newspapers for
advice. Like Emerson, they feel that
IA present is due to somebody, and,
like Emerson, they are puzzled what
to give"
There is something really pathetic in
a letter from "A "class of boys who
want to be told what they shall give

they say, and a remarkable mathe-
matician.' Perhaps some shadowy de
sire to make the punishment fit the
crime prompts this last bit of Informal
ton. But it is matched by schoolgirls
who write What is a nice present
for a teacher She is a foreigner and
teaches foreign language She is
very dark and has a somewhat impa-
tient disposition" The Heir of Red

for this person, if only she were able

cornet, cymbal and a whole orchestra
of instruments, with the chanting of
carols. a long, gayly decked procession
marches through the principal streets
children of all ages. each division
dressed In its special color white, blue,
pink or yellow, and all bearing some
badge or emblem or grasping some
bright ribbon attached To shrine or
cruciix. The effect of grouping and
color is very artistic. Here and there
in the throng older, stronger hands
bear aloft precious relics, upon which
the spectators reyerently gaze. Many
novel features come into view as the
procession passes along, but the pref
test sight is the train of beautiful chill
dren in fastas site dress marching over
the flower strewn pavement. each

abundance of flowers. A brass band
occupies a prominent position in the
market building and discourses music
of great volume and variety and more
or less melody. After the crowds fair
ly take possession of the market the
performance of the band appears to be
mostly pantomimic, for nothing made
by the hand of man can for a moment
compete in noise producing capacity
with the average Jamaican negro.
The West Indian negros great weak
ness is Il love of gay apparel, next is a
prediction for ceremoniousness, and
the most prominent atfliction is garrul-
ity. In the crowd that surges past one
through the market and the surround
ing streets may be seen every variety
of apparel known to civilized and I'M
civilized man. The country people
wear little or nothing, the coolies as
little as nothing, but the town negro
wears everything he or she can put
on, without any regard whatever to the
climatic conditions. They take their
notions from the English fashion pa
the style. The writer has even seen
sealskins worn in Kingston on day
when the thermometer registered 80
degrees In the shade. Here is a stylish
saddle colored gentleman wearing loud
check trousers, patent leather shoes, a
striped flannel shirt of three colors,
crimson and black sash around his
waist, a blue English cricketing cap on
his head In his hand he carries an
immense cane, while screwed into his
left eye Is circular piece of perfectly
plain glass through which he glares
stonily on the throng. Not long ago
the single eyeglass became very popu-
lar among Kingston society darkies,
but they could not get along with the
glasses that magnihed, so some enter
prising merchant imported lot of cir
cular pieces of plain window glass
and all the dudes wore them, happily

CHRISTMAS IN SERVlA.

A Santa Claus Who Receives Pres
ents Instead of Giving Them.
In Servia they keep Christmas eve
in a somewhat peculiar way. The ia
Their of the family goes into the wood
and cuts down a straight young OAK
He brings it in, saying, Good even
ing and happy Christmas" to which
those present say, MAY God grant
both to thee, and mayest thou have
riches and honorw Then they throw
over him grains of corn. Presently the
young tree is placed upon the Goals,
where it remains until Christmas
morning, which they salute by repeat
ed firings of a pistol.
The national dish in Servia is pork.
The poorest family In Servia will pinch
themselves all through the year so as
to have money enough to buy pig at
Christmas. Skewered to a long piece
of wood, the pig is turned over blaz-
ing fire until cooked, the guests watch
ing the process with increasing inter
est After dinner stories are told and
songs sung. Santa Claus, who, in the
person of an honored guest is present

long ring of cakes around his neck

friends can bestow.- Baltimore Amer

MEXlCAN CUSTOMS.

Visiting and Giving Presents the
Features of Yuletide.
A series of festivities beginning nine
days before Christmas and ending on
Christmas eve marks the Yuletide cele-
bration in Mexico. In a circle of
friends 1t is arranged that nine visits
shall be paid to nine different houses.
Each evenings gayety begins with
prayer and the lighting Of candles.
These are followed by the presentation
of a gift from each guest to the host
or hostess of the evening. The first
evenings gift is of small worth, but
the value of the Offering increases with
every succeeding evening. That there
may be nothing unfair in the distribu-
ton, the recipient of the first evenings
Offering one year becomes the last the
following year. After the presentation
there are dancing and supper. At mid
night the candles are extinguished.
No two evenings entertainments are
exactly alike save In the offering of
prayers, the lighting of candles and
the presenting of gifts. On Christmas
eve a few minutes before midnight,
all proceed to church to hear the mid
night mass, and this ends the Christ
mas celebration for the year.-New

'Fretful
Children

This getting up every night with
the baby, or some of the other
children, is all wrong
Not that the children are to
blame. If it's the baby probably
his food is wrong. Vinol will help
his mother stand the strain Of
nursing. | have often seen whole
families If older children keep the
parents awake o nights. First sac,
then the other is ailing
These children seem well enough
at times but they are white,
hollow-eyed, often listless, with
irregular appetites, peevish and
fretful, wakeful at night, and con-
stantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunction
with Vinlax to regulate the bowels,
will benefit these children almost
in day
We know this because the ex-
amples are SO numerous right
around home.
There is nothing in Vinol that
can hurt them. 1t is pleasant to
take, and the amount necessary to
give the children a start costs but
little. Besides, if it doesn't do the
work, we will give you the money
back.
There is nothing 50 good for
weak and tired mothers and ailing
children as Vinol. 1t gives them
a start, and helps them keep it,
and it's splendid for old people.

The burning, almost boiling, rays of
the sun beat vertically down from a
deep blue dome of sky that is unlocked
by a single film of cloud, and reflect
back with added intensity of suffering

cracked earth and from the surface OF
a sea that shimmers like molten lead.
Christmas In a land of perpetual sum-
mer, and a hot wave at that, where
linen suit feels like buffalo robe and
the mere thought of a blazing Yule
log almost induces an attack of fever.
The calendar may insist that 1t is the
25th Of DECEMBER, but to stranger
from the north, says a newspaper cor
respondent from Kingston, Jamaica, to
whom the word Christmas has a
Jingle of slelghbells and the sharp,
keen ring of skate blades on the Ice,
there is no real Christmas in the
strange countries of the tropics.
In Kingston, the capital of Jamaica,
the preparations for Christmas begin
several weeks before the event. The
shopkeepers lay in extra supplies and
provide special attractions, pretty
much after the manner of the New
York stores. Among other things they
import large quantities of sweetmeats
and candies from London, New York
and Paris, including chocolate creams
and other confectionery which New
Workers are accustomed to getting
fresh every hour" In Jamaica you
are reasonably sure of getting these
delicacies fresh every Christmas.
Chocolate grows in great abundance
all over the island, but it must go to
London or Paris or New York to be
manufactured into candy, or even into
the preparations for breakfast bever-
ages. That is one of the expensive
peculiarities of the country. The
Christmas market is the great feature
of the day, and almost the principal
event Of the year in a certain sense.
Everybody goes to market on Christ
mas day, and between the hours of 6
and 8 In the morning all the fashion
and beauty of the islands capital are on
dress parade through Victoria market
The stalls in the market are gayly
decorated with flags. bunting, palm
