SWEET CORN CANNERIEs.

A short distance from where the
writer lives is sweet corn cannery
where more corn is canned each year
than in any other cannery in the world,
the annual product being upward of
100000 cans. The presence of this
cannery has quite changed the crop
production of the farms tributary to it,
immense areas of sweet corn being
planted each year, which one year with
another returns the growers about $40
per acre besides two tons or thereabout
Of very choice fodder. This crop, har-
vested when in the milk, makes a very
light draft upon the fertility of the
soil, fact which has much to COM
mend it. 1t further requires but min
imum amount of hired help to produce
it and prepare it for market

A Quaint Christmas Custom.

The burning of the ashen fagot is a
curious custom observed in Devon and
Somerset on Christmas eve. The
fagot consists of green ash sticks cut
lengthways and neatly fastened into
bundle with witty bands. At 8
o'clock in the evening this is placed
OH the fire with much ceremony, when
the family and invited guests are gath
cred round the hearth. The flames
lick round the bundle, and, when the
first green withe holding the fagots
bursts, glasses are raised and emptied
to "a Merry Christmas!" The break
ing of each bond is the signal for a
fresh toast. Legend accounts for this
custom by the story that a fire of ash
wood warmed the stable at Bethlehem,
while local tradition tells of a green
wood fire kindled by Alfred the Great
during his lonely wanderings in Som
erSet.

Russians Related Christmas.

There are two Christmases at the
Russian embassy, but the real celebra-
ton comes on Jan. g. The fact that the
joyous festival is, by reason of the use
of the Russian calendar, somewhat be-
lated does not, however, affect the en-
thusiasm with which the celebration is
carried out. At time when most Of
her American friends are removing the
Christmas green's from their homes
Countess Marguerite Cassini, the mis-
tress of the Russian embassy, is super
intending the decoration of a monster
Christmas tree, generously laden with
presents, and the distribution of these
membranes is followed by grand
dinner which is thoroughly Russian in
its menu and appointments and as pro-
tracted as some of the celebrated all
night feasts in the land Of the CAR

Is different proposition. He will feel
abundantly able to take care of him
self, but his notions of life are too
often faulty. Only very small MI
nority of the boys manifest marked
prediction aud fitness for any par
ticular business and, like young colts,
may nearly all be broken in and train
ed for useful lives; but, as with the
colt, sense is required by the parent
in general way, for it would be folly
to try to make race horse out of a
Percheron colt or draft horse out
of standard bred stock. The boy first
Of all should be insured a good healthy
physique. If he takes to smoking
cigarettes and cumming it, he should
be reasoned with, and if that won't
do the business it should be licked out
of him. This, of course, is not pleas
ant, but it is often the best service the
father can render his son. The boy
should then be offered every possible
facility for acquiring good common
school education at least, and some
thing higher and better if it is pos
sible to let him have it, The ignorant
man is handicapped today as never
before. Mere muscle means about $3.50
per year; the educated hand and head
can only make it more. Better start

Holiday Customs.

At the saturnalia, the heather pro-
totype of Christmas, it was the Roman
custom to decorate the house with
evergreens. This was done to give the
woodland spirits refuge from the cold.
In Atlanta, Ga, it is the Christmas
custom to let free all prisoners whose
only offense has been against the city
ordinances.
The holly and mistletoe that we use
for Christmas decorations show the
survival of the customs of the Druids.
In Russia branches of fir trees are
used for decoration. In most parts Of
southern Europe evergreen trees are
used. while in India the English
churches are decorated at Christmas
tide with all kinds of flowers, palms
and berries.

The eastern mistletoe is parasitic on
deciduous trees as far north as New
Jersey. 1t grows in great punches
from one to three feet across and soon
disfgures tree. The people of Allan
ia, Ca, have free mistletoe. The city
authorities cut it out of the shade
trees that line the streets, and any one
may take it away by the wagon load.
The plant is in no danger of extermina-
ton, as we are satisfied with compar-
atively small amount, despite it's
unique associations, which ought to
make it in universal demand. The
trade is supposed to handle about TO-

WHAT SORT OF A WINTER,

The long range weather prophets are
predicting all sorts Of winter weather.
They are working the goose bone. the
pigs milt, the corn husk. the muskrat
and the stars and getting all kinds Of
weather. The funny thing about this
business is that there are lots of people
who believe these fake predictions. No
live man can forecast the weather
three months or even one week ahead
The laws which govern the universe,
which produce cold or hot or wet n
dry seasons. are not understood and
probably never will be. Experience
shows, however. that extremes of heat
and cold, of drought and food, follow
each other with considerable regulari-
ty as season types; that dry and hot
summers are quite generally followed
by mild winters and wet summers ~
cold winters. Further than this it is
useless to attempt to forecast weather
and seasons. While the dreaming of
dreams and the employment of wise
men to interpret them is no longer a
recognized business. there is neverthe-
less lots of latent superstition left in
the race, an inheritance from the an
Gent past. If you live north of lati-
tude Al it is safe to bank up your
house, put up storm windows, see that
the barns and sheds are made comfort
able for the stock, have good supply
Of fodder and fuel handy and see that
the sleds are ready for use. for the win
ter north of this line of latitude usually
iustifies all such prepare ton.

WHITE HOUSE GIFTS.
How Santa Claus Comes to the Pres-
tdent's Family.


ident's Family.
Wagon loads of gifts are received at
the White House at Christmas time
They come from all parts of the coun-
try, the majority of them from persons
unknown to the president and his wife.
These miscellaneous articles are the
private property Of the recipients, and
the numerous parcels are placed In one
of the family rooms for examination.
They generally contain the names Of
the donors, and to all these notes of
thanks are sent.
On Christmas eve all the employees
OF the house-the clerical staff, the
ushers and the domestic servants-are
given, through the established munif-
cence of the president. a fine fat tur-
key. Fifty fowls, selected from the
best in the market, are purchased for
this event, so that everybody about the
famous mansion has reason for rejoic-
ing.
No one expresses his happiness with
a more beaming countenance than does
jerry Smith, the old colored nan who
has been member of the presidential
household since the beginning Of
Grants first term. Jerry was Presi-
dent Grants COOK, but in these days
he dusts the offices of the White House
and keeps things tidy there as the ira
ditional pin.
The presidents and their advisers are
usually men of advanced years, and it
is to be second generation from them
that the White House looks for the frol-
les of childhood on Christmas day.
