CHRISTMAS IN JAMAICA.
Tropical Celebration With Santa
Claus Left Out.

A Tropical Celebration with Santa
Claus Left Out.
The white people of Jamaica cele-
brOte Christmas in spirit rather than in
active observance. OF course Santa
Claus is unknown here, for what would
Kris Kringle do in his fur raiment and
with his reindeers in a land where few
indeed Of the people know what snow
is and fewer still ever saw it. Outdoor
sport Is out OF the question, and even
lawn tennis cannot be substituted for
the skating and tobogganing of the
north. The white people sit or swing
in hammocks under the cool shade of
the palm trees and look with curious
interest over the holiday numbers of
English and American magazines, with
their strange pictures of snow scenes,
and read the stories Of Christmastide
In the land Of Kris Kringle and Jack
Frost After sundown there are social
gatherings, at which the guests SIT out
on the verandas, eat ice cream, fan
themselves and while away the even
ing with conversation and in that
''sweet doing nothing" way that Is
Very many Of the white people of ia
maica were born in the island and so
know nothing of the Christmas Gus
toms of the north. But there are also
quite number of Americans and Brit
ishers here, and these try various ways
to get up n semblance of Christmas, but
it is like the crew of polar expedition
celebrating Fourth of July while ice
bound in the Arctic circle, and their
Christmas is mostly one Of reminis.
cence. Still wintering in the tropics is
not without its compensating advan-
tages, and although Christmas here is
apt to be pretty lonesome time to
Americans, they are very apt TO find
cause for congratulation after the fes-
tive season is over in the fact that they
are safe from the cold. the snow, the
slush and the billiards. of the north.

YULETIDE IN AUSTRIA.
Customs and Legends of the Nom
German Population.

German Population.
Yuletide as kept by the non-German
population of Austria is very pictur
esque. On Christmas day the Poles in
Galicia first attend mass and then sit
down to family supper. The chief dish
on the table contains consecrated eggs
which the father distributes. After eat
ing, all eyes are closed and all heads
bowed down to the table In the belief
that Jacobs ladder is then descending
from heaven to earth and down the
ladder angels are coming to bless the
worshipers and to carry away their
earthly troubles to heaven. Among the
Czechs the legend runs that he who
most strictly fasts on Christmas eve
will see the holy Christ in his dreams
that night. In the evening the real Gel
ebration begins. All lights are then
extinguished in the house; no fire, no
light is visible. The children crowd to-
eothor In fear and remain perfectly ST.
lent, as otherwise they know they will
receive none of the presents brought
by the Christ Child and laid at the en-
trance of the house. The older fe-
males amuse themselves by throwing
heated lead into water and gathering
from the forms it assumes some hint
as to the appearance Of their future
usbands.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

able Report on the Bill.
Washington, March 19.-The senate
committee on finance has concluded
the consideration of the bill repeating
the war revenue act and has author
lied favorable report on it. The bill
as it will be reported removes all the
taxes of the war revenue act, and the
only changes made are those of Ian
guage. making sure of this result.
Among other changes made in the
language of the bill is one fixing the
rate on tobacco at 6 cents per pound.
The delay in reporting the bill is oc-
casioned by threats on the part of SEN
ators to offer amendments to the bill
and the desire to avoid that possibility.
Senator Foraker has said that he would
present provision for Cuban reci-
procty. This, it is known, would
arouse long debate, and the Republic.
an members Of the finance committee
are exerting themselves to prevent the
offering of the amendments. Demo
cratic senators generally express them
selves as willing to allow an. uncondi-
tional repeal bill to pass without
amendments.
