Why Saint Nicholas?
By ROBERT DoNNELL.

Copyright. 1905. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
vl Fly is Santa Claus sometimes
M called St Nicholas? For
wv the most excellent reason
that Nicholas Is the real
uame of the saint. Until comparative
" recent years there was no Santa
Claus at Christmas time. When the
old saint comes down the chimney
Dec. "a Christmas eve, and deposits
gifts for the children in the suspended
stockings he is just nineteen days be-
hind time, for his true and proper
time Is Dec. ., that being the eve Of
st. Nicholas day. Just how Nicholas
got to be the Christmas eve saint is
not altogether clear. but those Icon
oclasts who dig into ancient matters
are probing this secret. They have
discovered. or claim to have discov-
cred, that the Christmas eve Santa
Claus really originated In America, be-
ing transported to England from New
York.
In the saints calendar Dec. Is st.
Nicholas day. Nicholas was bishop OF
Myra, I'm Lycia. He is believed to
have lived under the Emperors Do
cletian and Constantine and is the pa
tron saint of poor maidens, sailors,
travellers, merchants and children.
Rich maidens. Of course, are also quite
willing to acknowledge him when be
comes along with diamond dog col
lars, necklaces and tiaras.
Before the great religious reformation
The custom of giving presents on st.
Nicholas eve was general throughout
Christian Europe When the worship
of the saints was abolished the prac-
tice died out In England where for
shout three centuries St Nicholas fail
ed to visit households on the evening
of Dec. 3 to leave presents for good
children. BY the way. It should be
pointed out that Nicholas was noted
even in infancy as a particularly good
and pious child Therefore his visits
are not made TO bad children-only to
those whose parents can vouch for
their good behavior during the previous
year.
In Austria. Holland and Poland st.
Nicholas eve is still observed. Good
children get presents. secretly left in
their shoes placed upon the hearth
stone for the purpose or in their stock
ings hung from the mantel. When
New York was settled by Hollanders
the deyout Dutchmen brought over to
America their religious customs, not
forgetting that of st. Nicholas eve. In
old New Amsterdam the saint made
his visits the night OF Dec. 3. st. Mich.
olas day being celebrated by the set
tiers as holiday. In time the Dutch
were supplanted by the English, New
Amsterdam became New York, and the
old St Nicholas eve gift giving custom
was reintroduced into England from
New York. But in England the GUS
tom of gifImaking on Christmas eve
had grown up There WAS. however.
no Santa Claus ceremony Gifts were
made outright and without secrecy.
When ST Nicholas sailed back to
England there was CONSERVATION
among fond papas and mammas in
the tight little isle
what Shall we have two days Of
gift giving and less than three weeks
apart:' they cried.
Thrifty English parents. it is sup
posed. determined that one day of
giving was enough. and so they SIM
ply transferred ST Nicholas to Christ
mas eve.

THE Christmas chimes are sounding
on the air,
And, as ! sit and listen to their
sweet,
Unearthly music, gone is every care,
Forgot is all the turmoil Of the street.
The troubles that the path of man be-
set,
The vast anxieties of human life,
All fade away, and every fond regret
Is lost in all their glad and Joyous
strife.
"a THAT though ! seem alone on
Nv this fair day,
From happy comradeship
stand isolate,
With none to greet me as ! walk my
way.
To merely live count happy fate
To merely listen to those joyous sounds
That through the crisp of winter call
so free,
Although the merrymakers on their
rounds
Pause not to think of or remember
me.
Vs'T not enough that on this Christ
mas morn,
This glad birth morn of him whose

My heart, but yesterday so sad, forlorn,

SURVEILLANCE IN VENEZUELA.
Everywhere One Goes Passports or Pass
words Must Be Given.

To enter Venezuela one needs a pass
port. sealed, with certifcations and
stamps; to move from one place to an
other more passports more consultations
with military jefes; to board a ship, per-
mission from the local resguardo, from
the jefe civil, and perhaps other func-
tionaries. Everywhere one goes, one is
held up by policemen and soldiers and
compelled to give an account OF oneself,
On a dozen different occasions, when l
have been walking the streets of Cara
cas-, Valencia, Puerto Cabello, or Mara
caybo, my thoughts concentrated on some
subject far from the bedevilment Of
Venezuela, | have been brought to my
senses by the shout of "Quien viva?'
and had a Mauser leveled at me. Boston
professors, the anti-imperialists, and j.
w. Foster may like this sort of thing,
and / may be unduly sensitive, but |
must confess that these conditions of I'M
easiness and this shouting of "Quien
viva?' finally got on my nerves like the
whir Of rattlesnake.
No phase of life is free from surveil-
lance. All kilograms and cablegrams are
censored, with representative of the
dictator in charge of every line of COM
munication. All letters are liable to be
opened by government officials. A
thoughtless word in a private epistle may
be carried to Castro with exaggerated
Importance, and another victim thereby
be added to those that have gone be-
fore. Even the diplomatic correspond
ence of the representatives of foreign
governments is tempered with by Cas-
tro's representatives in the postoffice
and every foreign minister in Caracas
knows that he must send his communica-
lions to his government in his own mail
pouch carried by his own private mes
senger to a mail ship, or they will be
placed before the dictator for his perusal.

SKIPPER FIGHTS WHALE.
Revolver Shots Didn't Stop Big Nam
MAILS Attack


From the deck of the little coasting
steamer Coos Bay Capt James Bowen
waged a battle with a mammoth whale
way up the coast. The whale was OBJ
served making straight for the steamer,
and Bowen was obliged to put his YES
sci upon different course to avoid col
lision with the mammal. Even this ac-
ton of the skipper did not suffice to keep
the Coos Bay out of danger, and draw
ing a revolver the captain opened fire
upon his enemy.
Twice he emptied the contents of the
revolver's chambers, but the leaden mis-
siles apparently had little effect upon the
mammal, as it renewed its attack upon
the vessel. Finally in last effort to es-
cape from the whale the skipper of the
steamer ordered full speed ahead, and
gradually the Coos Bay crept ahead of
her purSuer.
Speaking of the experience shortly aft
er the Coos Bays arrival in port, one
member of the crew said:
For some moments it looked like the
whale would surely hit us and consider
able excitement was caused aboard the
ship. The mammal was all of 100 feet
long and seemed of particularly vicious
species.
Gwen when Capt. Bowen discharged
his revolver at it the whale kept coming
after us, although the water was dyed
with blood But for the fact that the
old Coos Bay was able to crowd on a
little steam we would have come into
port with some scars where the whale hit
us with his f1ukes.
"The first time we caught sight of the
whale was off Cayucos, and it kept fol-
lowing us right along the coast, some
times almost abeam of the ship and but
n hundred wards of.

combined appraisal of wheat and pota-
toes. The combined value of dairy
products, eggs and poultry equals the
value of the corn crop.
The 100000 farms produce a gross
output of $S,5OOOOO,OO0, or an average
of S1,416 annually. This is an aver
age gross income per farm of $118 per
month. Even the 10000 New England
farms are credited with an annual out
put of $200,O00,0OO, or IN average Of
$1,O52 per farm While there is no
agical transition from poverty to
wealth in agriculture, there are such
liberal returns from the soil and such
attractive profits for farm produce that
farmers as a professional class lead
all industries in stable prosperity.
Commercial activity or industrial de-
preston do not materially affect the

TORTURED SIX MONTHS

ny Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible-SOOn En-
tfrcly Cured by Cuticura.
Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor, who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had a clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

short suggestions.

To cover the pan in which fish is
cooked will make the flesh soft.
Honey should be kept in the dark. If
exposed to light it will quickly granu-
late.
If the wooden chopping bowl is stood
upside down when not in use there viii
be no danger of its splitting.
Raise some okra in your garden.
Dried it keeps indefinitely and is the
best flavor soup and bouillons can have.
A pinch of borax stirred into a quart
of milk will keep it sweet, if you OBJ
ject to the taste of 1t after boiling.
Lemons that have become hard from
long standing can be made disable by
covering them with boiling water for
few minutes.
The creaking of door can be stop
ped at once by rubbing the hinge with
a piece of soap or with the lead of q
black lead pencil.
To clean paint use powdered whiting
on a damp cloth, and rub evenly with
the grain in the wood. This will not
spoil the paint in any way.
Nails in bathrooms and kitchens on
which damp cloths and towels are hung
should be dipped in enamel, so that they
may not leave rusty marks.
One gets tired of lemon and vanilla
favorings sometimes, and wishes for d
novelty. Try mixing them. 1t will be
a revelation Of an entirely, new flavor.
When making hot starch add Ia
blespoonful of sugar. This will give
the linen a good gloss when irOned and
make it retain it's stiffness longer than
usual.
To dissolve gelatin break it up small
and soak it in cold water for two or
three hours Then stand the basin or
cup containing it over fast-boiling wa
ter till dissolved.
To clean silver, try mixing sweet OIL
and whiting to the thickness of d
cream, put on with soft cloth, wash in
hot soapsuds and polish with cha
mois skin or a piece of old soft linen.
Do not throw away lettuce because it
is withered First wash in cold water,
place on plate, cover with crock or pan
over night, and your lettuce will be
more tender and crisp than when first
taken from the garden.
Dry a piece Of rag in paraffin and
rub the sink well over with this. 1t
will remove all stains and grease. Next
rinse the sink very thoroughly with
some hot water, to which has been id
ded a small lump of washing soda.

Farm Industry PrOspers.

Farm Industry PrOspers.
No industry has equaled the pros
perity Of agriculture the past decade.
Scientific methods Of farming and i'm
proved live stock have greatly increased
the revenue of the farms in all parts
of the country. The land has been
cultivated to yield increased crops, and
prices have ruled uniformly high and
stable. While other industries feel the
effects Of the financial depression, the
soil continues to yield bountiful har-
vests and values hold firm in contrast
with depressed business activities. The
government estimates that the value
of the agricultural products Of 1908
will total the enormous sum of $780,
100000.
Farmers have invested approximately
in agriculture $25,00O,OO00OO, which
yields a gross income of 30 per cent
on the Investment, according to the es-
innate of the value of this seasons
output In some localities where farm
lands are cheap the gross return is up
ward of 100 per cent on the Investment,
and farmers are able to pay for their
land with single crop. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 100000 farms in
the United States that are putting on
the market annually an output valued
at $S,5OO,OOO,OO0. 1t is the leading in
dustry Of the country, and it's pros
perity has had an ameliorating effect
on the late financial panic. The farm
ers are the only representatives Of an
industry who are not materially af-
fected by the current dull times
| Live stock husbandry is becoming
more paramount in agricultural oper-
ations. The assessed valuation Of the
horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs
in the United States now totals Sd, 331
100000. Dairy products now equal the
combined value of wheat and oats. The
value of eggs and poultry equals the
