OLD TIME CELEBRATIONS.

Happiness the Order of the Day, Tran
quillity CT the Night.
The files Of old newspapers are 4
nriceless record Of the history and
manners Of their tines In the papers
oq 1896 the accounts Of public reJolcinss
show that these were few in NUMBER
and that the method Of keeping them
differed widely from our ideas OF les
tiy,ties. Washington's birthday was
perhaps the greatest holiday.
Industrious citizens we are tolo'
appropriated the hour Of noon for the
congratulations Of the day. Each lam

bountiful provisions, and gay spirits
and temperate and undissembled JOY

There We're speeches and professions
and illuminations for the less indus
trious who were willing to give some
thing more than the hour of noon to
the celebration, but the most r2emora'
bic observance Of the day was that OF
the Harvard students.

be disgraceful to pretend to honor
Washington with riot and disorder

O'Clock. and by the time the bells
ceased ringing there was not light tc
be seen in any Of the buildings.
This is equaled by the summing up
OF the celebrations Of Fourth Of July
for the same year, day observed with
great rejoicings. No accidents are re-
ported, and the editor concludes, In
short, in every place we heard from
happiness was the order Of the day
tranquility Of the night.

TIE Dread Of Death.

Granted that it is the will Of GOD
that we shai! remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, 1t is essential
that mankind should feel the dread OF
death Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled. The
dread Of death is to the soul what the
law Of gravity is to the body. It an
chors US to the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep us to
the globe half mankind would be driv-
en- by curiosity. by the love Of change,
by the dread Of ennui, by what Bacon
calls "niceness and safety" to push
open the closed door and see what IS
beyond. Children and few very hap
pv and easily pleased people might
perhaps say they would not explore
farther and that they We're perfectly
content with things as they are.-St
James Gazette.

FooLING A CAMEL.
How the Arabs Let the Animal Exhaust
Its Bad Temper.

It's Bad Temper.
You al have heard stories about the
camel-how patient and useful he Is
on long. hot journeys, SO that he IS
often called the ship Of the desert.
But he has one very bad fault He
likes to 'pay back" and II his driver
has injured him in any way he will not
rest till he has returned the injury.
The Arabs. who wander about the
deserts and so use the camel great
deal, know about this fault OF his and
have u queer way Of keeping them
selves from getting hurt.
When 4 driver has made his camel
angry, he first runs away out Of sight.
Then, choosing q place where the Games
will soon pass, he throws down some
of his clothes and fixes them so that
the heap will look like sleeping man.
Pretty soon along comes the Gamer
and sees the heap. Thinking to him.
self, "Now I've got him." he pounces
on the clothes, shakes them around and
tramples all over them After he Is
tired OF this and has turned away the

without harm.
