A Beautiful Custom.

The origin of the custom of dec,
Grating at Christmas time with
holly wreaths and festoons Is lost
in the mists of antiquity. Whether
1t Is survival of some pagan rite,
or had Its beginning In a religious
ceremony of the early Christians, Is
somewhat problematical, though
there seems to be some warrant for
the belief that the ancient Romans
bedecked themselves and their
edi6ces with holly leaves and sprigs
during the season of their annual
harvest home festival-the festival
of Saturu-Which occurred In mid
December.
But whatever Its origin, the Gus
tom Is beautiful one, and should
appeal strongly to lovers of the ar
tistic and to all who are interested
In the perpetuation OF old customs.

the railroad and on the river bank.
There Is considerable territory east
and some north that has not been

two locations made would indicate

make lots of work down the river
near Matamoras.

AGE of the Horse.

Age Of the Horse.
To tell the age of any horse.
Inspect the lower jaw, of course;
The six front teeth the tale will tell
And every fear and doubt dispel.
Two middle nippers you behold,
Before the colt Is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will
come,
Eight months the corners cut the
gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year;
In two years from the second pair
In three years corners" too, are
bare.
At two the middle nippers drop,
At three the second pair can't stop;
When four years old the third pair
goes,
At five full new set he SHOWS.
The deep black spots will pass from
view,
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years,
At eight the spot each corner clears
From middle 'nippers' upper jaw
At nine the black spots will with
draw;
The second at ten are bright,
Eleven finds the corners light.
AS time goes on the horsemen
know,
The oval teeth three sided grow;
They longer get-project before,
Till twenty, when ' e know no
more.
