Draft Horses for Alaskan Trails.

What is one of the most novel as
well as one of the largest commercial
undertakings of its character is that
made by w. A. Hayward, formerly of
Seattle, but now having headquarters
in Dawson, in the shipment of an en-
tire car of heavy draft horses from
Toronto to Whitehorse, and from that
point using them to haul shipment
of $50 cases of Seattle eggs over the
trail $40 miles to Dawson, says the
Post-Intelligencer. The animals have
arrived at Vancouver, after being 19
days on the road in a palace stock car
which did not permit of their lying
down. The horses range in weight
upward from 1000 pounds, but from
Mr.. Hayward's statement, made last
night, at the Hotel Seattle, where he is
registered, they stood the journey well.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
To THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Editor Advertiser: Although one
the Photographic society in connection
with the Y NJ c. A. is still in exist
ence. AS there are so many capable
amateurs in these islands, could not
something be done to bring the society
more to the front, so that devotees of
this interesting and wonderful science
would be persuaded to join, and so Ho-
nolulu would have a Photographic So
ciety that would carry out some of the
objects for which these societies exist
One of the most important of such
objects would be to make a photo
graphic survey of these beautiful is
lands, on the lines laid down by the
British and foreign societies for local
survey work
In this manner systematic work
would be undertaken that would per-
petuate the numerous interesting land
marks that are being SO rapidly lost.
The society already possesses the
| nucleus of a Photographic library, Mr.
Hedemann, if 1 am correct, having
given some valuable books. I also
| have had the pleasure of contributing
| many Photographic journals and
] ANNALS. If the secretary of the 7. M
| c.. A. thinks it of sufficient Importance
and viii correspond with me on the
| subject, I shall be happy to put my
fifty years of experience of photog-
raphy and matters Photographic dn-

FESTIVAL OF THE NATIVITY.
Was Observed at Very Ear,y Time In
History Of Church.


The festival of Christmas was OBJ
served at very early period in the
church, as indeed it could hardly but
be; for that which brought the Joy of
angels within reach of mems ears
could not but have been devoutly and
joyously remembered by Christians,
year by year, when they came fully to
understand the greatness of the event.
1t Is most fit that the season SO marked
out by angels by songs of joy. such as
had not been heard on earth since the
creation, should also be observed as a
time of festive gladness by the church,
and in the social life of Christians.
Christ Himself instituted this festival
when He sanctified the day by then
first revealing His human nature to
the eyes of mankind. The holy angels
witnessed to it's separation forever as
day OF days, when they proclaimed
the glory that was then offered to God
in the highest by the restoration of
perfect manhood in the virgin born
Jesus, and the peace that was brought
among men on earth through the re-
union of their nature to God.
1t is to the nativity of our Lord that
all the pages Of the Bible point as the
center on which everything there re-
corded turns.

Passing through the narrow streets
we finally come to the church of the
Nativity.
1t was here that the inn stood where
Mary and Joseph, footsore and weary,
after their long journey, sought for
lodgings but there was no room for
them" They were obliged to seek else
where for some resting place. The
chalk-hills of Judea are honey-combed
with innumerable caves. One of these
excavations, close by the inn, was
used as a shelter for such beasts as
the stables of the inn could not ac-
commodate. Mary and Joseph were
obliged to take shelter in this grotto.
Here, amid the straw which served as
bedding for the beasts, far from all
assistance, on cold winters night,
Mary. the virgin mother, gave birth to
the infant Savior.
This cave is established beyond all
doubt as the place where Christ was
born. From the earliest times Chris
tians have always kept sacred this
particular spot. st. Justin, martyr
born in Palestine about 100 years af-
ter Christ, speaks Of this cave, and the
pagan philosopher CELSIUS, writing A.
D. $50, also knew Of 1t, The emperor
Hadrian, about 1877 A. D.. in order to
keep the Christians away from 1t,
erected statue of Adonis there and
established idol worship in the cavern.
The emperor Constantine removed
the idol and erected over the cave a
church about $40 A. D. At different
periods since then the church has
been rebuilt, enlarged and renovated,
until we find the present structure,
with its different sections belonging
to the Latin. Greek and Armenian
rites. The courtyard leading to the
church Is paved with large square
stones and on the side are the ruins of
old columns where the former atrium
