CHRISTMAS
IN GERMANY
Everybody Loves the

An Old Belgian Custom and the
Christmas Fire.

The Germans have a truly childlike
love for Christmas. The spirit of
Kris Kringle animates the heart Of
rich and poor; faults and foibles arc
covered with a kindly mantle, and
mirth and jollity reign. Every family
wants a Christmas tree of course; but
N TOO poor to get tree a bough will
give them just as much genuine pleas

ynI, and the gifts, however small, are
pretty sure to be love-Gft All through
the land there are mrth and laughter,
and the spirit Of Christmas, and we
feel that here the holiday retains the
charm II once had when we were lit
tie ones. In the distribution Of gifts
everyone Is remembered, usually with

expressing remembrance, There Is
a general caring for the poor. In the
schools, children are requested 20
bring garments, money or whatever
may be convenient, and in each ward
O certain time is appointed for the
distribution of these. Rich families
care for poor families individually,
md choose gifts which will he of real
benefit to them. Bags and baskets
are packed with substantial presents

to speak on the good done in this locality

Of Miss M. B. Lord, who Is enc of the
field workers for that association.
A series OF Sunday evening Bible talks
on the christian life" has been begun by
Rev. G. L. Snow at the Sunday evening
services at the hall. This series will take
up the Christian life at It's beginning, and
will follow it through to Its final con-
summation. The various topics treated
should be of practical interest to a large
number.
A special feature Of the service at the
hall next Sunday evening will be music
by Whitford's orchestra. After the song
service the pastor will present report
of the state Sunday school convention,
which is held In Meriden this week. This
report promises to be helpful and sug-
gestive to all interested In Sunday school
work. On account of this report the Sec
ond Sunday evening talk on "The Chris
tian life" will be postponed until the fol-
lowing Sunday evening.

Thomas G. Perkins of Hartford, Fred G.
Hines of Boston and Engineer D. 81.
Heyer of the company were present. Mr..
Perkins said that an examination In re-
gard to their first plan of running up East
Main street with big fill at Cottage
street had shown them that this was not
feasible. The meeting then adjourned to
the street to look over the ground. An
other plan suggested was to strike on the
terrace near the hotel, and follow the ter
race up to Cottage street. This could be
done by raising up the lower wall. The
general opinion, however, was that the
most feasible route was to take the mid
die road to Cottage street, and the COM
pany then plan to buy the two houses
just above Cottage street on West Main
street, and move them back far enough
so that the middle road could be contin-
ued for some defiance. They could then
raise the grade of the farther end OF
this street, and have good grade to the
Bedding mill. 1t was found by measure
ment that Main street was wide enough
for the road up the street by the Bedding
mill, II the big bowlder on the north side
was removed. At the Adams mill 1t Is
proposed to go straight through the hill
there, by 4O-foot cut, which 1t is estim-
ated may cost, $4,000. 1t was finally
decided to have the company's engineer
and City Engineer Mcknight cooperate
In preparing plans Of route over the
middle road, and report to the commit
tee, as soon as possible, when city
meeting will be called.-SprSnatieM Re
