Christmas Suoerstitjons.

There are many Christmas superstl
tons long held as articles Of faith that
are to be recalled-hoW that oxen kneel
in their stalls at midnight on Christ
mas eve in alteration of the Nativity
and for one hour have the power of
speech; for that one hour, too, the lost
spirits have rest. Judas sleeps, Herod
ceases to clank his chains, the daugh
ter OF l1erodias may pause in the dance
in which she is condemned to spin for
ever, and Pilates ghost ceases its wan
derings on Mount Pilatus. 1t was be-
ieved, too that the sound of church
bells could be heard wherever a church
had stood. though no trace remain, and
that on that pregnant night one sleep
ing III a manger would see his future

QUEER CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Small Particles of Rndium Presented
BY London Momen.

by London Women.
There is this to be said of the latest
fad Of London society women-the Civ
ing of small particles of radium as
Christmas presentS-that none of the
recipients can complain of having re-
ceived a cheap gift. To give radium in
this way costs from so to so, the out
fit necessary therefor consisting of
"spinthar.>;eope" and a speck of the
new metal hardly big enough to be
seen with the naked eye.
Sir William Crookes, the English sci.
enlist, invented the spinthariscope
which is kind of microscope through
which small quantities of the precious
stuff can be examined to better ad-
vantage. The spnthariscope sold by
London chemist who has the radium
monopoly is about the size of finger
ring case and has an opening fer the
eye something like that in chld's
Kaleidoscope. By taking the apparatus
into darkened room and squirting
through the eyehole one can see flashes
Of constantly varying light shooting in
all directions, like miniature fireworks.
The idea of making Christmas gifts
of radium has proved uncommonly in
fectious. and the run on the chemists
stock necessitated hasty communica-
ton with the firms in Bavaria and Aus
tria who supply most of the radium
that reaches England. - Washington

GETS READY TO KILL
But Turks Hand May Be Stayed
by the Powers.

PARIS, March 19.-It is the expecta-
ton in official quarters that France and
the other signatories Of the Berlin
treaty will unite In emphatic repre-
sensations to Turkey against carrying
out the sultan's plans for the suppress
sion and probable determination Of a
considerable portion of the Armenians.
The government is in possession of
much information showing the nature
Of the troubles and Turkeys inten-
lions in dealing with them.
This information shows that reports
Of atrocities have gone too far, but
even the conservative view indicates
the necessity of staying Turkeys hand
within a month, as the main pro-
gramme for the suppression is to COM
mence about a month hence, The re-
ports received give both sides of the
case and show the following general
condition:
The sultans activity is not directed
against the Armenians as a whole, but
against those of the Sassun district,
who are turbulent mountainous peo-
pie. Turkey claims that the Armenian
mountaineers go across the border into
Russia, where they arm and eq Zip
themselves, and return to CON nit
depredations against the Turkish 5ol-
diery. Therefore, it is the view OF the
sultan that stern measures are neces-
sary to repress these agitators. The
authorities here are satisfied from their
own reports that Turkeys fears Of the
Armenian agitatorS are magnified and
largely unwarranted They do not
share the belief in many of the recent
statements of Turkish atrocities
