At the spanish Court.

Christmas in Spain begins with the
midnight mass, when the king and
queen mother, accompanied by the
grandees of the court, magnificently at
tired, go in state procession to the chap
ell royal of the palace in Madrid. On
Christmas morning the king and court
again attend mass in state, after which
the day is spent III merrymaking. In
the afternoon the alteration of the man
ger takes place, when a representation
of the scene in Bethlehem is unveiled
in the great hall of the palace. There
is also Christmas tree, from which
Alfonso distributes gifts. Throughout
the ensuing twelve days the court is
all benevolence and gayety, and every
great Institution in Madrid shares in
the royal almsgiving. The festival
closes Jan. 6.

A Picture Mystery.

In a certain tall Office building in
Philadelphia is a picture which hangs
on a wall and which is never still. 1t
is suspended by a long wire and no
one has ever seen it that it has not been
swinging back and forth along the wall
like the pendulum of a clock, only some
times the motion is greater than at
others. It's a creepy sort of perform
ance and makes most people who see
it feel nervous, but the man who owns
it and occupies the offices in which it
hangs refuses to take it down until the
cause of its swinging is explained, al
though the manag gers of the building
have asked him to do so. The wall on
which this picture hangs runs north and
south, and the curious part of it is that
other pictures on the same wall and
suspended in the same way are motion
less. This does away with any theory
that the phenomenon is due to the mo-
ton of the earth and leaves only the
suggestion that the length of wire is
just right to vibrate to some motion
caused by machinery in the building, as
stretched string will vibrate to GER
tain musical note This latter explana-
ton, however, has been repudiated by
several scientists who have examined
the case. and the matter still remains
a mystery. Philadelphia Record.

Recipes Which the Amateur Confec-
toner May Find Useful.
Peanut Candy-To make peanut can
dy, shell and break into small pieces
with rolling pin one quart of peanuts.
Boil for ten minutes, stirring constant
ly, one pound of light brown sugar and
six ounces of butter. Just before tax
ing from the fire add the peanuts.
Pour into fiat. buttered tiRs and set
away to cool.
Peppermint Creams.-Boil together,
without stirring, two cups of sugar and
half cup of water When thick
enough to spin thread remove the tin
to basin of cold water and beat the
mixture rapidly until it becomes OF a
white, creamy consistency. Flavor
with peppermint and squeeze through
a pastry tube into quarter dollar sized
drops on waxed paper.
Chocolate Peppermint Creams Make
like the above, and when the drops are
almost cooled dip into pan Of melted
and sweetened chocolate These are
particularly delicious.

water as for peppermint c.ctms. Cool,
beat, and when the mixture is white
stir in one cup of hickory nut meats.
Turn into a fat, warm tin and cut into

The solution of the social question
would be found in perpetual
Christmastide, provided our generous
throughtfulness were not confined
merely to our own kith and kin. Let
us be assured that when the world
reaches up to the highest and hottest
conception of relationship it will dis
cover that there is but one family and
that the human brotherhood cannot be
divided into classes antagonistic to
each other. The reign of the golden
rule will be the true Christian millen-
Mum

The kaiser EmuIates Cromwell.

Recently the German emperor swore
in the recruits of the Potsdam garrison
in manner to inspire the soldiers with
the spirit which swayed Cromwelps
Ironsides According to the Lokalan-
zeiger of Berlin, he said:
you see before you an altar. On it
behold the cross, the symbol of all
Christians. AS such you have taken
the oath of allegiance to the colors
I hope and require that you will ever
be mindful of this pledge. AS | stand
here a memorable episode rises before
my eyes. When the Kaiser Leopold of
Austria handed over the supreme COM
mand of his army to the famous Prince
Eugene and gave him the marshaPs
baton the prince seized the crucifix
and, holding it aloft, cried, This shall
be our generalissimor

ments from you. | desire pious and

The Omen Church.

The Rev w. S. Rainsford of New
York holds that a church door should
hardly ever be closed. II was not al
ways so keen for open churches" he
confessed recently, "but four-year-old
girl settled my mind on that point.

childish prattle, when we passed a
tightly closed and locked church I
s'pose God has key to let himself in
she remarked, looking thoughtfully at
the barred door. but the people have
to go to the sexton i didn't have a

"but / made up my mind that when
did have one the people would not have
to hunt up the sexton to get in.

CRUELTY IN JAPAN.
The People Are In Many Ways Bru-
tai and Inhuman.

The People Are In Many Ways Bru-
tai and Inhuman.
The proof, to my mind, that the
japanese as people are inherently
cruel lies In the fact that the grossest
inhumanities, such as would draw a
protesting crowd in any other country,
seem to pass absolutely unobserved on
the streets of Japanese cities. l was
asked the other day to deliver an adj
dress before the ladies of the Japanese
Society For the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals in Tokyo, and at the in
slant | rather welcomed what seemed
to me an opportunity to tell about a
few Of the atrocities / have myself
seen perpetrated during my years resi-
dence in the country, but when out
lined my intentions 4 was told that
they would never do; that as a for
eigner | must say only nice, compli-
mentary things to my audience; must
confine myself to stories of cruelties in
other lands ana gain my point by OBJ
serving with pride that such things
could never happen in an enlightened
land like Japan, where the people are
gentle and full of sympathetic under
standing for the sufferings of the least
of the creatures of earth But it takes
longer than a year, even in this coun-
try, to learn well the art of indirec-
ton, SO declined the proffered honor
requirements. l could not remember
ever having seen in any other country
anything that could be compared to
the exhibitions of brutality that are so
common over here.
To begin with, the Japanese are cruel
to themselves and cruel to each other
and their standard of mercy seems to
be SO low that they cannot recognize
as cruelties things which impress us
as atrocities.
If a member of family happened
to be stricken with leprosy or any 9TH
er loathsome and incurable disease he
or she was thrust mercilessly from the
house and forced to go out on the high
ways, away from the villages, to gain
an uncertain living by begging from
the infrequent pedestrians Even now
it is not an unusual thing to see hor-
ribly scaly, crumpling wretch doubled
up in the dust by the roadside, holding
out withered, trembling hand to
chance passersby who never seem to
notice. l myself have seen things
which turned my soul sick and made
me wonder if this is a civilized nation
aspiring to the highest ideals of TWEEN
tieth century development
An equally conspicuous evidence of
japanese heartlessness is the manner
in which insane people are treated. Up
to a very short time ago there were no
institutions of any sort provided for
these unfortunates, and they We're con-
fined in open cages like wild beasts and
allowed to starve and freeze or famish
from thirst and burn up in the hot sum
mer sun, as the case might be. Such
abject cruelty cannot be believed of
sane human beings, but in Japan it is
not by any means thing of the past

stock market settlement there hesitate
to accept American rails as collateral
security for large loans owing to their
fears that present prices are unstable.
Foreign markets also were inclined to
take depressing view to-day of the
immediate outlook for peace. A grow
ing influence in stock market circles is
the prospect for the enactment at Al
bany Of tax on stock transfers which
it is feared would constitute serious
obstruction to a very large proportion
of the operations now conducted on the
New York stock exchange. Much at
tention is given in consequence to the
discussion of measures of opposition.
The consideration of the subject had
it's part causing the falling off of actiy-
ity to-day in the trading. The $4,000
600 bond issue authorized by the Penn
sylvania railroad was just half as much
as speculative rumor had pointed to
and the movement of the stock indi-
Gated that this moderation was a dis
appointment to the holders of the Sc
curity. The changes were still rife on
the various rumors of mergers. combi-
nations and dividend increases, espec-
tally affecting the Vanderbilt group
and the trans-continental connections
supposed to be destined for the combi-
nation. The Toledo, st. Louis and
Western was included in the scope of
the rumors. Smelling moved up again
on revival of lead merger reports. There
were extraordinary movements in some
of the closely held high price stocks,
Lackawanna rising on trivial buying to
400. The Ontario and Western move
ment was renewed strongly in the late
dealings and helped to break the effect
of the active profit taking in progress
which made the closing irregular. Ma
tional banks will pay tomorrow the
Is per cent. instalment of government
deposits held by them, thus completing
the recent call but the money market
was entirely undisturbed by this prep
aration
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par

were all unchanged on call. 3. <

DUTCH STOCKHOLDERS
Lose Control of Kansas City Southern
Railroad.

Lose Control of Kansas City Southern
Railroad.
Kansas City, Mo, March IA. The
Holland stockholders have lost control
of the Kansas City Southern railway,
according to the Star.
While to-day was the date set legally
for the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the railway and while prac-
tically the entire outstanding stock
was represented in person or by proxy
at a meeting held in the offices of the
company here. an adjournment was
taken until May II.
The Star says: SIT is now asserted
that the Dutch stockholders have lost
control of the railway. During the re-
cent furry in the stock of the company
the foreign holders of stock unloaded
and thus passed the control of the road
into American hands. This comes as
a surprise to many who had believed
that with the expiration of the voting
I trust the Dutch stockholders would
contest for the absolute control of the
line. 1t is still a matter of conjecture
as to what interests will control. The
interests that have been active in the
purchase Of stock include the Gates
combination, the Rock Island interests,
the Hartman clique and it is said that
Edwin Hawley has made large pur-
chases of the stock. With the expira-
tion of the voting trust the actual own
ership of the property will develop.
Hartman interests retain control the
line will be operated with the Chicago
| and Alton and the Union Pacific sys-
TENS. The following are the present
directors 0 fthe company:
John W. Gates, George J. Gould, E.
H. Hartman, o. H. Kahn, Henry p.
