OUR CHRISTMAS DAY.

The twenty-fifth of December, the
shortest day in the year, has been
celebrated for many eyes and among
many peoples as a time OF rejoicing.
On this day the Egyptians held fes-
tival in honor of the birth of their god
Horus. The Romans called it the
birthday of the invincible sum-" and
dedicated it to Bacchus, rejoicing
with him that the sun was about TO
return and revivify the vineyards
The Persians observed it with cere-
monies of uncommon splendor, keep
ing it as the birthday of NIit6ras, the
mediator, spirit of the sun. In
China it has long been a joyous hol-
day, and in India it is day in which
homes are decorated with tinsel and
flowers and presents are exchanged
much as in America.
Just when this day came to be cele-
brated as the birthday of Christ, his
tory does not tell us. We know that
Christmas was observed in the earl}
church at the beginning OF the sec
ond century; for in 1873 A. d.,
bishop issued an order concerning it.
1t was apparently already a popular
festival. There seems to have been,
however, a difference in the date
when it was kept, as the eastern
church observed it on Jan. 6, aud the
western church during the latter part
of December. Finally, in the fourth
century, Pope julius assembled tho
principal theologians to examine the
evidence, and they fixed on Dec. % as
the date of Christ's birth and the APP
propriate day to hold the Christmas
festival.
The customs which have ATTENDED
the observance of Christmas are part
pagan and part Christian, and it is
not always easy to distinguish be-
tween the two. The Christmas log is
the yule log of the worship of Odin.
The mistletoe under which the Chris
tan youth kisses the Christian maid
lis a remnant of Druidism. The
Christmas tree finds its pagan proto-
type in the German Ygdrasil-a great
tree whose roots were hidden in the
ground, but whose top reached to
Walhalla, the old German paradise,
where it's leaves nourished the goat
upon whose milk fallen heroes re
stored themselves. The pagan orr
gin of our jolly friend, Santa Claus, is
too we'll known to need consideration
here.
In this country at first Christmas
was excluded. The Pilgrim fathers
rejected it because of its pagan con-
INJECTIONS. Thanksgiving largely occu-
pied it's place and was nicknamed
the New England Christmas. But the
Dutch settlers brought over with
them their Christmas festival, and it
soon rooted itself in the affections OF
the people, till it became our most
joyous and welcome festal day. We
need not hesitate because Christian
and anti-Christian elements mingle in
it. What paganism there is. has been
baptized to a noble service. But one
thing we do need to guard, and that
is that our feelings in the celebration
be Christian and not pagan, that we
recognize the religious meaning OF

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEET.

On Tuesday of this week the
County board of Supervisors met
at their board rooms for the tran
saction of the county business.
All of the members of the board
were in attendance.
The day was spent in the usual
routine of business and many
claims were passed.
In the evening many represent
ative citizens were present by spec
ial invitation of the board to dis
cuss the very important question
of providing a suitable approach to
McGregor's Landing. This is a
subject of special interest to prac-
tically all of Maui and the citizens
showed their interest by their at
tendance and full discussion OF
the same.
Among those present were Judge
A. N. Kepoikai, w. G. Scott, Fer
dlnand, Hons. Hugh Howell, w.
T. Robinson, G. D. Lufkin and D.
H. Case.
1t was finally moved by Judge
Kepoikai and unanimously carried
by the citizens that their choice oi
the two approaches is the one on
the Olualu side of McGregor's
Landing. 1t is understood that
he Territorial appropriation is
sufficient to build the approach OF
that side while an approach or
Maalaea side would cost about two
or three thousand Dollars addi
tional.
The following day the board off
cially took up the matter and in
structed the clerk to write tn,
Superintendent of Public Works
that their choice was an approach
on the Olualu side.
County attorney D. H. Case ask
ed for ninety days leave of absenc
that he might go to Washington
as Maui's delegate to assist il
securing the passage of the bill in
troduced by Delegate Kuhio pro
viding for the expenditure within
the Territory of seventy-fve pc
cent of all Federal revenues of tn
Territory.
After a thorough discussion o
the case 1t was moved by superv
sor Church seconded by 7. T. Mey
ers that such leave of absence b
granted. After some hesitancy o
/ the part of Supervisor Cornwe
! all voted in the affirmative.

Some correspondence has been
carried on between the sup rintend-

the Wailuku Jail the ternor of
which is that the Territory is will
ing to complete the Jail and fire
station and rent the part not need
ed by the Territory to the County
for 100000 per annum. 1t will
cost about five thousand dollars to
complete these buildings and will
be great service to the County
and Territory alike. The offer of
the Territory was accepted and the
clerk instructed to write the super
intendent of public works to this
effect.
A motion was then introduced
by Supervisor Meyers instructing
the clerk to notify the governor
that Engineer Hugh Howell was
appointed by the board to cores
