Christmas superstItlons.

The United states is almost poverty
stricken in SO far as its collection of
superstitions Is concerned, our early
settlers having failed to import many
from Europe. and not adopting those
of the Indians. OF course some of
us don't like to see the new moon
over the left shoulder, or start on a
journey on Friday, and the like, but
few of us take even these very serious
ly. We must go to the old coun-
tries" to get superstitions with any
genuine thrill in them. There are a
number which have to do with Christ
mas.
In North Germany, where the prac-
teal yet poetic spinning wheel still
huns in the cottages, one must not
spin during the - nights of Christ
mas lest he or she walkafter death. (To
the American reader it may occur that
this would probably be more disturb
ing to others than to ones SELF II
the spinning Is done after sunset on
Saturday, mice will eat the work. If
one wishes to have money and good
luck all the year, one should not fail
to eat herring on New Years day.

in its later phases with West Indian
ideas. 1t well illustrates the class of
work executed some ten or twenty
years before the Civil war when the
white columns of the classic revival
and the double-deck veranda from
Bermuda had so adapted themselves
to one another as to produce some
thing similar, yet different, something
typically American type and a pro

A POLICE CHIEF IN EXILE
Lupoukhine, Former Court Favorite,
Is Now a Broken Down Wreck
in Siberia.

Two Germans who have been trav.
cling in Siberia gave an account of
the life of exile led by NJ. Lupoukhine,
formerly chief of police in Russia.
For many years NJ. Lupoukhine was
one of the most influential men in the
Russian empire, a favorite at court,
the confdant of cabinet ministers and
a ~favorite of ST. Petersburg society.
While at the height of his popularity
he was suddenly exposed as a treach-
erous servant of the car, dismissed
from the government service and SEN
fenced to lifelong Punishment to 81
IBERIA.
1t was alleged against him that he
organized plots against the ear In or
der that he as chief of police, might
have the glory of discovering them
and saving his imperial masters life.
He was also guilty of many other ire
gularities.
The two travellers found NJ. Lupouk-
hine living In Danilovka, a small vii
lage some 500 miles from the nearest
railway, which can only be reached
by a carriage journey of II days
through a desolate region. The ex-
police chief, who formerly occupied a
p~alatial official residence in the Rus
sian capital, now lives in a little log
hut consisting of four rooms, badly
lighted, insuficiently ventilated and
too loosely built to afford adequate
protection against the rigors of the
Siberian winter.
The exile himself is 10 a broken
down. feeble. unhappy man, a wreck
of his former self. He has done his
best to make one of his rooms resem'
BILE in some degree a study, and on
the wall he has hung In large printed
letters Thy VIII Be Done" Nearly all
the inhabitants of Danilovka are po-
litical e~xiles, and NJ. L~upoukhine en-
joys a privileged position among them
by reason of the fact that the COVER
nor of the province when making his
occasional rounds shakes hands with
him.

RustlInu of Leaves.

Until a few years ago Hampshire
rustics used to sit up till Il o'clock
on old Christmas night, and as soon
as they heard the leaves rustling they
went to the nearest comstall to watch
the animals get up and lie down on
the other side. The idea of watching
the animals arose from the belief that
at Il o'clock on the night of the Ma
tiviy oxen knelt in their stalls in honor
of the event: that the rustling of the
leaves refers to the tradition that
thorn trees blossom at midnight to
commemorate the Sa%viour's birth.
Cornish folk believe hat sheep turn
to the east and bow their heads on
old Christmas night in memory of the
sheep belonging TO the shepherds at
Bethlehem, and in Yorkshire bees
hum in their hives on the same occa-
sion.
