business. Thin silks, crepe shawls,
lovely, lustrous cloths of banana and
pineapple fbers, carved sandal wood,
and ivory bits of cloisonne, are hung
on the Christmas tree in lieu of the
heavier articles SO popular in a cold
cline.
What do they have for dinner in this
topsy-turvy land? Well, that depends.
The haeoles, if they very much desire
to preserve old customs of the home
land, have a regular English feast; q
heavy, brandy-burning sauced plum
pudding, which certainly cannot be so
well appreciated with the thermom-
eter at rs as with the mercury close
down to zero. If the haeole has adapt
ed himself to the s~emi-tropical condi-
tions, or if he is of the second genera
ton and born to the conditions, he
will not care SO much about an English
bill of fare; he wants rather the
Fourth of July ice cream. And it is very
likely he will prefer the Chinese lichee
nuts to the English walnuts. He is
no longer an American or an English
man, but a. Anglo-Hawaiian.
The real Hawaiian will banquet on
pig and poi "a pasty mess, and feel
confident his is the choicest food of
the land. Bread-fruit will also grase
his board, and perhaps the devilfsh,
too, will have place in the Christmas
fare. But you must not judge the ma
tive q savage because he eats strange,
outlandish food; you will find at his
feast, in the wreaths of ferns and
flowers that are strewn about SO Law
ishly, evidence of a keen love for
beauty.
Whatever they eat, whatever they
drink, however queer some of the OBJ
s%ervances may seem, there is much
good fellowship abroad, much Christ
mas cheer.
There is one thing about Christmas
in Hawaii that is like Christmas every
where; the chief part, the best part
of the festival, is the joy the children
have in it. And how the tots out there
| do enjoy it! There are the little Ha-
waiian girls, dressed only in cotton
| slips, legs and feet bare, hugging to
their breasts dolls, white as they are
! brown. The moon-faced Chinese kid
dies stand about the wonderful tree
| the heather Christian has trimmed
for them, and with pleasant calm ac-
cept of the striped candy and popcorn
balls. The Jap small things laugh soft
ly ard smile sweetly as their portion
of gbodies is bestowed. The shrill,
happy voices Of the white youngsters
fill the air. And in Hawaii, Christmas,
Children's day, has full swing.

ries and let Jessie fill her childret
with cake and candy almost beyond
the rescuing power Of any remedy.
After dinner the banker called
Nancy aside and asked if the widow
and her children could stay until she
could find work. if extra help were
hired, and Nancy, o~vershadowed by
Christmas angels, consented.
If you have never devoured a mans
best viands in a powerful frame of
mind you do not know how the min
lister felt. He had for q long time
been trying to get up his courage to
talk to his richest and stingiest MEM
Der about starting the new church
building, and. with the aid Of the
Christmas angels, the minister Sc
cured a promise that the rich mar
would bear half the expense of the
new building and think about the
new organ.
That night the man sat alone after
the house was still. If he had had
a keener sense of hearing he would
have heard the Christmas angels
singing a song of thanksgiving near
him, but he only heard his own soul
speaking in the night: John Kings
ley, there has been a mistake. You
have been thought selfish ami aold
toward God and nan But you are
fond of folks and of doing good gith
your money-the real John, I mean.
The old, lonely, selfish man is pead,
John. l am going, with Gods selp,
to make myself a present of 9 r'ble,
generous soul!"
In her happy girlbood sleep Jessie
was smiling as if she heard the
Christmas angels rejoicing, saying:

ShrNstmns IN the NOrth'
Norway and Sweden celebrate with
a real Santa Claus. Early Christmas
eve the children are dressed in their
finest attire. Days previously songs
dialogues and speeches have been pre-
pared. The house is decorated with
the holly and greens, and all day long
the children are on the qui vive.
Every knock on the door or ring OF
the bell brings a thrill of expectancy
and q rush to the door, until finally
Santa Claus appears. The children
have on their best behavior with their
good clothes, Santa is respectfully
saluted, but with expectant eyes, and
finally, after repeated handshakings
and exchanges of good wishes, he in.
quires into the behavior of the chill
dren. If a child is guilty of any gross
misdemeanor he chides the little de.
linquent, but always forgives under
a promise of a better report next
year. Little speeches are then made,
songs of the day r sung, and the
younger children climb into Santa's
lap, thoroughly enjoying his visit.
At last comes the grand distribution
of gifts. From his pack Santa selects
each ones gift, when the ringing OF
sleigh bells is heard in the distance,
and he must 60. Such a Juggling and
pulling the dear old saint never ex.
perienced; but there are other chill
dren waiting, other presents to be
given, and he cannot disappoint sc
many, so he must speed on his way.

"No; but a big heart lengthens

said Jessie, dropping a kiss or the

~ can stand it once" he groaned
when he was alone, but before the
week was out he began to feel the
"more blessedness," and surprised
himself by going around whistling
like q boy and handing out nickels
to school children, winding up with
giving each of his bank employees q
check Christmas eve. Not satisfied,
he sent oranges to the Sunday school
tree and to his sister Mary ten dol
lars.
He smiled with real pleasure when
he saw the five heavy baskets Jake
was to take around Christmas eve.
He hung around, living over boy
hood memories, while Nancy stuffed
the big turkey and Jessie made
candy and popcorn balls. He even
fell to stoning raisins for the plum
pudding and was rewarded by a
piece of Nancy's sample pie"
"You haven't asked for anything

niece.

"And, uncle, / don't believe people

Evidently not, for that evening
the banker had overheard one of his
clerks say. "This is the first time we
have gotten what we did not slave
for. Is he going crazy?" and Nancy
had remarked to Jake. In tones over
heard in the next rooms: HE won't
be long with US. Folks often change
in nature fore they're struck with

In the morning Uncle John found

Nancy and several pretty but useful
things, the handiwork Of his niece.

pop, goes the cracker; boom, boom
goes the cannon, from midnight of De-
cember "a to midnight of December rs.
Just what its significance is, on that
date and out there, ! am sure do not
know. Probably the many Chinese,
rather than the Americans, are respon-
siLle for the outrageous noise. The
Hawaiians have long had the Celes-
tials within their borders, and they
have been not a little influenced by
contact herewith; and the Chinese,
you know, celebrate their New Year
holidays with the festive cracker.
The Hawaiians' queer medley Of q
Christmas is made up from the observ-
ances of many peoples. The Portu-
guese form a large per cent. OF the
population in Hawaii, and these Latin
folk have loaned to the native born
their way of keeping the great holt
day. Gay clothes, presents Of flowers
and sweets, wine-drinking with ones
friends, attendance at church, tinsel
gifts; in this manner the Portuguese
keep Christmas, and the Hawaiians fol-
low in their footsteps, sometimes a lit
tie OVERRIDING the wine drinking.
But the Hawaiian never seems to
reach the quarrelsome stage Of in
temperance; he only gets gayer and
more good-humored, hilariously greet
ing all whom he meets. The Christmas
reveller, in cotton trousers and shirt,
a wreath of red posies about his neck
or around his hat, who mounts his
steed and gallops up and down the
streets throwing "Mer' Christmas

a contrast to his ~pale-faced neighbor.

HUMAN EOLIAN HARPS.
People Get Ahead Financially and
Then Begin to Play Tunes on
Their Nerves.

Seeking for new sensations seems
to be the cry of the hour among the
pleasure hunting populace. The min.
ute people get enough money ahead
to allow a breathing space in the
rush of business, they turn and look
about for amusement; and, not be-
ing able, through that well adjusted
astronomical law, to eat their cake
and have it, too, they begin at once
to fill up to sati(y on cake of all
kinds. Hence the never ending search
for a new, variety of cake, the
gamut of the known kinds being run
very quickly, says the New York
Herald.
We treat our nervous systems as
if they were wind harps, to be
played upon by every breeze that
blows, and the zephyr that evokes
the newest or most startling vibra-
tory thrills along those much used
strings commands the highest mar
ket price and the largest following
of harpers with their harps.
We throng the theaters in the hope
of being agreeably played upon-aDd
the distracted managers of the
same are growing grayheaded in the
wild attempt to Guido each other
in the business of aeolian harp or
chestration. The result is often more
q jar and a discord than music.
There r the loop the loops and
other Embarrassing devices wberewith
to sweep these harps of a thousand
strings. And now comes Switzerland
with the worst we in the way Of
sensational experiences. Instead Of
the tame old climb up Mont Blanc,
the tourist now may go on a Sub
merged excursion" in a submarine
boat in Lake Geneva.
An airy bit of persifage, a sort of
flirting with danger, is suggested in
the naive presentation to each pas
senger of this novel trip of a life in
surance policy for $4,000.
Still, it is the class of people who
like to acquire ~goosefiesh feelings
who are, in theatrical p~arlance, the
''dogs" of this world-upon whom
the new things are tried to prove
their utility among modern con-
v%eniences. There must have been

NOT OF OUR KILN"
"A Funny Yarn That Is Related About
Senator Gn1linger and His
COachInan.

Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, who will be acting chairman of
the senate committee on the District
of Columbia during the coming session
Of congress and will probably be per-
manent chairman of that committee
after the beginning Of the Ffty-eighth
congress, is now and then reminded Of
his profession before entering the field
Of craftsmanship. These occasions are
when some one is taken suddenly i'll
and there is necessity for quick treat
ment by a physician. Then Senator
Gallinger very readily takes on the
role of DR.. Gallinger and shows the
same energy in relieving suffering that
he does in advocating or opposing a
measure before the senate, says the
Washington Star.
When Senator Gallinger was prac-
ticing medicine in his New Hampshire
home he had a coachman who was a
character" worthy Of the attention
Of any writer of fiction. On one oc-
casion DR.. Gallinger was calling pro-
