CHRISTMAS CHILDREN.
some Famous Men Who Were Born
on Chrfst's Birthday.


Even were it not for it's celebration
as the birthday of the Saviour. Dec.
25 would rank as quite a notable date
In the year for the number of eminent
persons whose natal day it is. Curl
ously enough, however, we seldom
think of the day as the beginning of
the career of any one on earth other
than He to whom custom has assigned
IT.
We know that historical events Of
all sorts-battles. sieges, and so forth
have occurred on Christmas, for arti-
this interesting side of the history of
the day have been written, but OF its
biographical side little has been said,
the more odd this because the fact that
many notableS have been born on the
day cannot fail to prove of interest
The biographical index of Christmas
is comparatively long and includes such
names as Sir Isaac Newton, William
Collins, the lyric poet; Z. S. Gilmore,
the musician and bandmaster; Richard
Person, the greatest classical scholar
England ever produced; Johann Jacob
Reske, the celebrated German orien-
ralist; Clara Barton, Admiral s. G. Ro-
nan and a number of others. Unhappy
little shavers they must have been in
their childhood with their birthday
and their Christmas rejoicings al.

CHRISTMAS IN WEST INDIES
How the DarLies of the Antilles
Celebrate the Holiday.

Christmas in the West Indies is n
very jovial, rollicking affair-at least
In the estimation of the darkies. The
great feature of the season, is the Sc
ries of masQuerades or mystery plays
enacted by strolling negro performers.
These are of two sorts. Representa-
lions of such Biblical stories as that OF
David and Goliath-when you may see
the dramatis personae clad in such his
torically accurate garments as bed
tick" trousers and cretOnne coats of
flaming pattern-and those Of purely
local character. OF these last is the
mongoOse play, which is peculiar to st.
Kits. and the object of which is TO
wage mimic war against the destruc-
tive pest which is the curse of the is
land. These strolling players are the
chief feature of Christmas celebra-
tons.
They are quite an imposing lot of
men, with a good ear for music, and as
you watch their antics you might east
ly imagine that, instead of being i'm
civilized British colony, you were back
in the heart Of Africa, assisting at
some savage. death dance or other
heather rite
