The wider the breach in the Re-
publican party becomes the more
numerous are the aspirants for
places on the Democratic ticket.
It is now clear to both parties that
the Republicans are persistent in
their efforts to turn the reins of
state over to the opposition this
fall and it is most gratifying to
note that the Democrats are in a
receptive mood. The disagree
ments in the Democratic party,
which week or two ago threaten
ed defeat, have practically been
adjusted and everything o W
points to harmony and success.

in THE REALM OF THE CAR
Russians Look Upon Christmas as
the Most Sacred and Most
Celebrated Holiday.

EsssgEyySss HRISTMAS is the most sa.
~ fBAkE cred and most celebrated
"A NH2EU holiday in Russia. Contrary
@gSSSHgy5fT to the custom In nearly all
other countries, Christmas
there always on Sunday, and a
continuous celebration is held until
midnight on January 2.
The Russian believes in devout re-
ligious services in honor of the birth
of Christ, and each day during the
season each family, including all its
members, attends church at least
once. On Christmas morning the most
important services take place. Each
congregation marches solemnly to the
nearest river, which is always frozen
over, the ice being sometimes as much
as three feet thick.
After n large hole has been chopped
in the ice the priest dips his cross in
the water and prayers are pronounced,
after which the priest holds baptismal
exercises. Having been blessed by the
priest the water is considered to be
holy and as fast as the people can
file by the hole in the ice bottles of all
sizes and descriptions are filled with
the water.
This water is priced the most high
ly of anything in the home. and bottles
of it are sometimes found a century
or more old. Some fanatics SECURE
large quantities of it and battle in 1t
at regular intervals during the year.
There is one custom which many
Americans would cherish In their own
Christmas celebration, and especially
the young people. 1t is that of kissing.
for on Christmas day every one steals
a kiss from whomsoeyer he meets. In
some cases, and among the older peo-
pie, the hearty handshake is much
used, but the younger element clings
closely to the old style.
Santa Claus is unknown to Russian
children, but the "Babushka," an old
woman witch, carrying a long stick
and attired in the usual witch cos
tune, visits the homes in every vii
lage and city and distributes greetings
and then ome at night and leaves
the gifts for both old and young.

ENSySYIOHAMMEDISM Is the pre-
NV "a vailing religion in Turkey

EyAfsSey the few scattered Christian

Year, and "Bairam,' the anniversary
of the date when Mohammed gave
to his people his scripture. The FRI

of the M"ohammedan and is observed
by him In the same n as Sunday
with the Christians.
The Christian Turks, who include
the Bulgarians. Servlans, Monte,
negrins and other smaller tribes. OBJ
serve Christmas with impressive re-
ligious ceremonies.
Three days before Christmas the
"Bladego" appoints a delegation of 100
men form each congregation, who go
to the river and hew out immense
cakes of ice, after which they on
struct a huge pyramid neal by. A
great cross measuring about 40 by 60
feet and cut from the bed of ice is
set up against the pyramid. and the
place of worship for Christmas day
is completed. Early on Christmas
morning all the people march TO the
pyramid. where the initial exercises
are conducted by the ~"Bladego." A
small crucifix used by him in the exer
cises is the prize of the younger men
of the tribe, who dive into the ice-cold
water after 1t as the %"Bladego' throws
it in. Many are drowned annually in
this practice, but they all consider
themselves fortunate to die while or
such n mission.
From the pyramid the procession
marches to the home of the priest
where bread is blessed and broken by
the "Bladego" and all present partake
Of the food.

solemniged This cnetom has prevailed

parents on both sides, and if this is
given they are nj once married, The
reason, however, for their not living

Naturalists have placed tie beaver
long way down in the list of verte-
brates. but it undoubtedly stands next
to man in the variety of occupations in
which it engages. All cats are hunt
ers, while foxes that are not thieves
may be included also among the MINI
rods. All canarics are prima donnas,
and monkeys make clever comedians,
but it is only the beaver parent that
cducates it's children to take up several
trades. In Il single colony among them
you will find civil and marine engi-
neers. woodchoppers, raftsmen, labor
ers, Quarrymen, miners, plasterers.
masons, carpenters, hodcarriers and
fishermen All beavers take contracts
for building dams. but when the work
is undertaken the task is so divided
that each member of the colony has its
own particular work to look after. In
this way they make some wonderful
excavations and construct their dams
in an incredibly short time.
