First Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets its name from the
mass celebrated in the early days Of
the Christian church in honor Of the
birth of Christ. it's first solemnization
having been ordered by Pope TelesphO-
rus. This was in or before the year
1873, for in that year Pope TelesphOrus
died.
At first Christmas was what Is
known as a movable feast, just as
Easter is now, and owing to misunder-
standings was celebrated as late as
April or May. In the fourth century
an ecclesiastical investigation was or
dered. and upon the authority of the
tables of the censors in the Roman
archives Dec. 25 was agreed upon as
the date of the SaviOur's nativity. Ira
ditiOn fixed the hour of birth at about
midnight. and this led to the celebra-
ton of a midnight mass in all the
churches, a second at dawn and a
third in the later morning.

A Christmas Fairy.

In the center of a room place large
round table covered with a green cloth
scattered all over with small boughs
Of evergreen frosted with tinsel.
Suspended from the chandelier and
hanging just far enough apart to
admit little light from above have
garlands sparkling with frost, with
the ends fastened to the sides of the
table, three-quarters of the way
around it. The effect will be that of
a tent. The other quarter should be
left open, so that one may look inside
and see an immense cOrnucopia Gov
cred with silver paper. with it's open
end toward the front. AS though
from it the Christmas fairy
Ia wax dolD, sparkling in robes of
white and silver, should be poised A
frosted wreath should crown her
golden curls, and in her hand she
should hold a long silver wand. The
should seem to be empty
ing itself into the glittering train of the
good fairy.

Christmas superstitions.

There are many Christmas supersti-
tions, long held as articles of faith
that are to be recalled Among these
are the beliefs that oxen kneel in their
stalls at midnight on Christmas eve
in alteration Of the Nativity and for
one hour have the power of speech.
For that one hour, too. the lost spirits
have rest. Judas sleeps, Herod ceases
to clank his chains. the daughter of
Herodias may pause in the dance, in
which she is condemned to spin for
ever. and Pilates ghost ceases it's
wanderings on Mount Pilatus 1t used
to be believed, too. that the sound Of
church bells could be heard wherever
a church had stood, though no trace
remain, and that on that pregnant
night one sleeping in manger wouIc
see his future in a vision.

A Merry Christmas Jest


An old chronicle contains the follow
ing quantity wOrded anecdOte:
There was some time an old knight
who, being disposed to make himself
merry in a Christmas time, sent for
many of his tenants and poor neigh
bors with their wives to dinner, when
having made meat to be set on the
table would suffer no man to drinke
till be that was master over his wife
should sing a carroll; great niceness
there was who should be the musician.
Yet with much adOe, looking one upon
another, after a dry hemme or two. q
dreaming companion drew out as
much as he dare toward an old fash
ioned ditty When having made an
end, to the great comfort of the be-
holders. at last it came to the wOmen's
table, when likewise commandment
was given that there should no drinke
be touched till she that was master
over her husband had sung a Christ
mas carroll: whereupon they fell all to
such a singing that there was never
heard such a catterwaling peece of
musicke. Whereat the knight laughed
heartily. that it did him halle as
muche good as corner of his Christ
mas Die"

Christmas Candle and Tree,

The old custom of the lighting of the
Christmas candle, which is still OBJ
served by the Irish peasantry, chiefly
at Candlemas or Old Christmas day,
has become quite obsolete in England.
A relic of the observance in England
is, however, preserved. An old stone
socket carved with a lamb is shown In
the buttery of St Johns college, Ok
ford, which was used in former days
for holding the Christmas candle. The
Christmas tree was practically un-
known in England a little more than
half century ago. 1t was introduced
into this country from Germany, where
the Christmas tree has been popular

centuries, by the prince consort shortly
after his marriage. Westminster Ga.

A Christmas Game.

Yuletide version of the donkey
party is played thus: On a sheet sketch
or paste a design of Christmas tree.
Have each branch of the tree termi,
nate in a circle containing a number,
using the numbers from one to ten or
one to twenty-five. according to the
size of the tree. Each person playing
is blindfolded in turn and is given a
rosette with which he must decorate
the tree" Each person aims to pin his
or her rosette on or near to the highest
number of the tree. Each competitor
has three trials. the three numbers tC
which be pins nearest being written
down to his credit by the hostess. who
keeps tally. The one whose three mum.
bers added together give the largest
sum total wins the first prize.

Stars by DayIiaht.

1t is worthy of remark that but for
the brightness of the sky the stars
could be seen in daylight. Even as
matters stand some of the brighter of
them have been seen after sunrise by
explorers on high mountains, where
the air is very clear and the sky dark
blue. If we could go above the atmos-
phere the sky would appear perfectly
black and stars would be visible right
close up to the sun. Astronomers OBJ
serve bright stars in daytime by using
long focus telescopes, the dark tubes
of which cut off the side light, and per-
sons in the bottom of deep wells have
noticed stars passing overhead, the
side light being reduced by the great
depths of the wells.

ETIQUETTE OF GIFT GIVING.

Suggestions on 6estowing and Receiv-
ing Christmas Presents.
There is an etiquette governing the
giving and receiving of presents, as
there is about most things. because
there is always a best way to do
everything, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. If we penetrate below the
surface of the little courteous conven-
tions we shall find that consideration
for the feelings of others underlies all
DO not try to make your gift look as
though it cost more than you paid for
1t. Aside from the paltry spirit of
such giving, it is a delusion and a
snare, for next year your offering
must seem to be as fine as the one
of this season or you may appear to
have been !ess anxious to please y0r
friend
Take the time to write a few words
Of loving or cordial greeting on the
cards that accompany your gifts
Without that evidence of individual
personal thought the offering of even
the finest present appears somewhat
graceless and perfunctory. A message
on card is better than a note be-
cause more informal, and one should
not seem to make much of a gift.
Having your presents daintily wrapped
is not less a matter of courtesy. Let
their outward appearance commend
them. Leave them or send them to
their destination the day before Christ
mas unless you can insure their re-
ception early in the day A tardy gift
appears like an afterthought

Bells A-ringing.

Two sorry things there be
Aye. three
A nest from which the nestlings have been
taken,
A lamb forsaken,
A red rose by the wild wind rudely shaken.
OF glad things there be more
Aye, four
A bird above the old nest blithely singing,
A red rose clinging
In safety to a rock, shepherd bringing
A lamb found in his arms and Christmas
bells a-ringing!

MRS. FORD BLACKMAILER
Defaulting Big Four Treasurer Paid
Her $1,000 a Month.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-Eighty-four thou
sand dollars was the price Charles L..
Warriner, defaulting local treasurer of
the Big Four railroad, paid for wom-
ans silence. Fearing exposure of his
shortcomings, he gave Mrs. Jeanette
Stewart Ford an average of $1,000 a
month for seven years, the payments
stopping only when the exposure came
from other sources November 2. last.
Such was the substance of the start
ling testimony which Warriner gave at
the trial of Mrs. Ford on charge of
blackmailing him.
Warriner recited the details of his re-
lations with the woman without betray-
ing the slightest emotion. He took the
stand wearing an Overcoat that concealed
the uniform which he wore as an inmate
of the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus.
