CHRISTMAS SUPERsTITIoNs.-Many
are the superstitions that still survive ID
song and story, that have gathered IN
the passing of the centuries about the
advent OF Christmas.
Among these may be mentioned the
belief long held in England that oxen
kneel in their managers at midnight on
Christmas eve in alteration of the nativity,
and that for an hour the gift of speech
is bestowed upon them.
For that hour, too, lost spirits are
permitted to cease from their restless
wanderings and rest. Judas sleeps,
Herod's chain no longer clanks, Herodias
ceases her endless dance, and Plate
soul no longer goes to and fro upon
Mount Pilatus.
He who sleeps in manger on Christ
mas eve is permitted to see his future IN
a vision, if one may accept the authority
of tradition on the subject. Wherever
a church has stood, even though nc
trace remains, one may on Christmas
eve hear the sound of church bells.

OFFICERS MUST EXPLAIN
CUSTOMS EMPLOYEES WHO ARE con-
NECTED WITH MINING COMPANY.
Called ON to Tell What Their Connec-
tiOn Is, and why Their Positions
Have Been Falsely Represented.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Assistant Sec
rotary Armstrong, of the Treasury Depart
ment, has returned to the city from a brief
business trip to New York, during which
he looked into the cases Of Messrs. Sam
ployes of the custom house. who are adj
vertised as members of the board OF di-
rectors OF a mining company, whose bus
mess has been under investigation by an
official of the Postoffice Department Mr..
Armstrong has requested a written report
from these officials respecting their connec-
ton with the company and the alleged mis-
representations by the company in its ad-
vertisements of the positions held by them
under the government, and says he ex-
poets these reports to be ready for Collector
Stranahan tomorrow. Mr. Armstrong made
it plain that Messrs. Thompson and Eaton
ton with the company If they expect to re-
main in the custom service, and that IL
their positions were msrepresented with
their consent and approval, they will be
liable to removal from office.
Treasury officials express decided objec-
ton to persons employed in the custom
service engaging at the same time in some
other business and intend to break up this
ractice far possible, holding that IL
is detrimental to the best interest of the
service. There are many occasions, officials
point out, wherein the government needs
the service of an employe in the Customs
Department outside of regular Office hours
and if they hapen to be engaged in business
which interferes with this, then the gov
eminent is the sufferer.
For this and other reasons officials believe
the best interests of the public service will
be conserved by employees not engaging in
other business.
