ANOTHER AMAZING RECORD.

Wilbur Wright in his flight at lie Mans, France. yesterday accomplished the
feat of remaining in the air for n hour, thhtyone minutes and thirty-f
seconds beating the best record Of Orvine Wright, his brother, att Fort Myer, of
ne hour, ten minutes and twentyfour seconds Both are American records, and
the frstp phenomenal ant epoch-making performance a made on American soil.
The Wright brothers are now far away ahead of other avators. They have
conquered the air by degrees Knowing their machine and possessing a won
derfuls eH-confdence and nerve. they have pursued their way undiscouraged by
difficulties and criticisms and uneated by success and applause. 1t ws only by
IN untoward accident that the tragedy att Fort Myer stopped the demonstrations
by orvnne Wright. but these will be renewed, and. n doubt with longer and
more venturesome Fights his aeroplane will raverse the distance between
Washington and New York and eectrfy a vast population with the spectacle of
machine navigation of the air.
According % figures compiled by Golfers, New Jersey has a larger per-
centage OF population enrolled in thu schools than New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Rhode Island. The percentage for New Jersey is 1899, for
New York, 1877; for Massachusetts,, 1853. for Connecticut 1861 and or Rhode

Fun With Walnut Shells

Germany has Christmas and New
Years custom that yearly grows In
favor and is the excuse for many
merry gatherings. 1t is called the
tswalnut she'll party" and is sort
of first cousin to some of the obser-
vances that In the United States mark
Halloween day.
The popular amusement is to tell
the fortunes by floating walnut shells
in q bowl of water. The shells either
come together or drift apart. or they
90 the to side OF the bowl and de-
cline to move about any further. Ac-
cording to what they do the fortune,
good or bad. of those whose names
are marked on the shells is supposed
to be indicated.
It is surprising and amusing the
varied capabilities the shells display.
Life itself is no more uncertain than
they are, and a whole company can
be kept in roar of laughter all uven-
ing by watching the antics OF the
shells. When q pair drift together.
and remain that way. refusing abso
utely to be separated. then the future
of that couple has been infalilbly
augursd.

Christmas Pies

In England. Yorkshire is still the
stronghold of vast Christmas pies
that trace their lineage far beyond
the Norman conquest into the dim
feasts of Saxon kings and Danish free
hooters. A rather quaint note. writ
ten in 1888. makes mention of the
"wains"(or wagons) groaning about
Christmas time under load of these
pies and adds, cat such times the
hostess of a we'll freauented inn of
the old school will construct pie of
a circumference rivaling her own, and
the county newspaper will record its
dimensions.
One such "hostess of the old school"
is immmortalized by famous though
slightly profane epitaph in York
shire churchyard running as follows
Here lies the body of Mary Ann
Sboven.
She was versed in the arts
OF cakes. pies and tarts
And the mystical rites of the oven.
When She d lived long enough
She made her last puff
A puff by her husband much prais-
ed.
Now here she doth lie
And make a mud pie
In the hope that her crust may be
raised.

A Christmas Hymn

"A OurlSt11IttS ny un
No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far:
A lamp within q stable.
And in the sky star.
Their hymns of peace and Rladness
To earth the angels brought.
Their "Gloria In Excelsis"
To earth the angels taught.
When in the lowly manger
The holy mother maid
In tender alteration
Her babe of heaven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness
And none so poor as he.
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But just the huddling sheep.
The angels singing of the Christ.
And all the world asleep.
No flame of conquering banners,
No legion sent afar:
A lamp within a stable,
And in the sky star.

Why Santa Claus Is

"I IHY is Santa Claus sometimes

w the most excellent reason
that Nicholas is the real

at Christmas time. When the old

time is Dec. S. that being the eve of
st. Nicholas day. Just how Nicholas

In the saints calendar Dec. 6 is st.
Nicholas day. Nicholas was bishop Of
Myra, in Lucia. He is believed to
have lived under the Emperors Dio-
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 he comes along with diamond
dog collars. necklaces and tiaras.
Before the great religious reforma-
tion the custom of giving presents on
st. Nicholas eve was general through
out Christian Europe. When tie wor-
ship of the saints was abolished the
practice died out in England. where
for about three centuries Saint Mich
olas failed to visit households OH the
evening of Dec. 5. to leave presents
for good children. By the way. it
should be pointed out that Nicholas
was noted even in infancy as u par
ticularly good and pious child. There
fore his visits are not made to bad
children-only to those whose par
ents can vouch for their good behav-
lor during the previous year.

Nicholas eve is still observed. Good

New Amsterdam the saint made his
visits the night Of Decemeber 5. st.

Dutch were supplanted by the Eng

into England from New York. But
IN England the custom of giftgiving
had grown up. There was. however,
no Santa Claus ceremony. Gifts were
made outright and without secrecy.
