SYMBOLISM OF BLANKETS.
Usually No Meaning 10 Intended In
Navajo Designs.

The Navajo blanket owes nothing
whatever to the standards Of taste that
prevail In civilized communities. 1t Is
something different" The squaw
weaves "out Of her own head" with
no pattern to guide her. Even when
traders induce the weavers to attempt
to copy blankets Of patterns the copies
are never exact In details. The own
er Of Navajo blanket, therefore, may
feel reasonably certain that there is
not another just like 1t In the world
says the Christian Herald. Much un.
adulterated nonsense has been written
concerning the symbolism Of these
blankets and the poetry, legend, ira
dition and history woven by the squaw
into its fabric. 1t is true that some
designs have symbolic meaning, but
Hopi, Zuni and Apache symbols are
used quite as freely rs those peculiar
to the Navajos. The Navajo squaw Is
one of the least imaginative and least
poetical Of human beings. and It l.
quite safe to say that even when sym
bolic designs are employed in blanket
weaving it is without the remotest ref
erence to their true significance.

Christmas day, nor any solemnity used
or exercised in churches upon that day

1O4I, the town crier Of Canterbury pro-
claimed that christmas and all other
superstitious festivals should be put
down and market held upon Christ
mas day" But none Of these orders
had much effect. In Scotland John
Knox did succeed In pretty effectually
suppressing the observance Of Christ
mas in the lowlands at least, but he
simply transferred the popular GUS
toms and superstitions to New Years
day.
The Puritans Of New England. how

good cheer while dispensing with the
festival. They simply appointed Q

A ThornIe.s Blackberry Bush.

Luther Burbank, after ten years of
experimenting, has been able to pro-
duce a blackberry bush that carries
no thorns. While Burbank was show
ing a party Of Australian boys about
his gardens at Santa Rosa recently he
said:
Now I will show you something
about which nothing has been said as
yet. 1t is the thornleA blackberry. 1t
has not been distributed yet and pos
sibly will not be for some time"
Burbank broke OF some of the
branches. and they were as smooth as
silk. The fruit is said to be of ex.
quisite taste and quality.

A succession OF curious expires sions
passed over the governors face-first
suspicion. then elaboration, avidity,
confidence, followed in quick success
sion. He felt sure from what he had
seen Of Levesque's play that he could
beat him. The young mans love for
his father had led him to make vain
attempt for the prisoners life. Tangre
consented to the terms. signed an order
for the counts release and laid II on
the pile of gold.
The first two games were won by
Tangre. the third by Levesque. the
fourth by Tangre, the fifth and sixth
by Levesque, the seventh and eighth
by Tangre. The governor had now
won five games to Levesque's three.
From this point all was changed. The
next game Levesque checkmated his
opponent In twelve minutes, the next
In six minutes. This left the games
evenly divided. but so brilliant had
been Levesque's later play that his adj
versary turned pale. Levesque on the
eleventh game checkmated his adver-
sary In four moves.
He reached forward and seized the
paper, leaving the gold on the table.
Rising, lie bowed tremendously to the
governor and withdrew, Tangre, sit
ting In sort of stupor, looking after
him as he went out Of the door. As
soon as 1t was closed Tangre scooped
the money from the table and hid 1t in
a closet.
Had not the young man left the gold
on the table his plan might have been
a failure and he and his father both

that he had never received such a
prisoner and substantiated his claim
by unquestionable records.

ORIGIN and

certained. 1t Is generally acknowledge
ed that the accepted chronology, which
is In fact that Of Dionysius Exiguus,
in the sixth century and which places
the event In the year of Rome 154. is
about four years too late. yet the
world will go on counting from that
year in spite of Biblical scholarship
And 30, whatever uncertainties there
be about the season Of the year, II will
suffice for most Of us that the Chris
tian world for ut least fifteen centu-
ries has observed the 25th day of De-
cember as the day Of the nativity. II
It be not the day, It is at least hard
to dispute 1t. n
II was not, however, without good
deal Of dispute that this day was fixed.
1t would seem reasonable that the an
niversaries of the later events Of the
gospel should be remembered by the
disciples who witnessed them, but the
nativity was altogether obscure. and
in the earliest periods ut which we
have any record of the observance Of
this day we find great discrepancy.

brated the festival on the LIST or the

SAYS ANTS CAN HEAR.
Able to Perceive Sounds, Declares an
Experimenter

Naturalists generally appear to have
accepted the opinion that ants are not
able to perceive any sounds that are
audible to human ears, but there are
those who controvert this opinion.
One Investigator conducted careful
experiments with four species OF Amer
lean ants, from which he deduced the
conclusion that these species at least
We're able to perceive sounds, but
whether they did it by means of or
gans Of hearing or through the sense
of touch, being excited by atmospheric
vibrations, he was unable to ascertain.
This experimental inclines to the
opinion that ants do really hear, as
some individuals showed perception
Of the direction of sound, such as that
of shril whistle. and others, which
were not disturbed when violently
shaken in their glass prisons, seemed
greatly to be perturbed by shrill
sounds.-Harper's Weekly.

LIVES At sTaRE.
BY EDWARD c. THOMAS.

There were two absorbing passions
that swayed Jean Tangre, governor OF
the prison in Dion, France, at the
time Of the reign of 'terror-love OF
money and pride In his skill Mt chess.
There was also temporary passion
hatred for an aristocrat. He guard
ed his prisoners well, but he still spent
his leisure moments at his favorite
game. and when he could do so with
our risk appropriated their belongings.
One morning after he had heard the
reports of his jailers and attended to
the usual routine of business he sat
down to a game Of chess with his
daughter, who was the best opponent
he could get. He beat her several
games and threw himself back In his
chair with deprecatory shrug and
grant. At that moment an attendant
entered and said that young man de-
sired to speak with the governor. A
boy of about eighteen was ushered In
and thus addressed him:
"Citizen, l have heard of your skill
in chess and have come all the way
from Paris to try mine with you. l
have beaten all opponents there, and
II can beat you shall be champion
of France. But I fear that Is impos-
sible, for have heard that you are
invincible."
At this compliment Tangre's breast
swelled like that Of pouter pigeon.
"Sit down. Citizen" he said. Whom
have the honor to oppose?"
'Pierre Levesque. at your service"
replied the young man, taking the seat
left vacant by Julie Tangre.
"Levesque? l have heard of all the
noted \chess players Of Paris, but not
Of Leresque."
81 am very young, citizen. I have
lived In the country. Only few weeks
ago l went to Paris and vanquished
the notable players after my arrival
there" o.
They played a game in which Tan
gre beat his opponent, who looked very
much surprised.
THAT is new move" said Levesque.
that have never seen before. None
Of the Paris players has it."
"So?" said the governor, delighted.
well, perhaps shall show you more
new moves before we get through"
The next game was long one. Lee
vesque knitted his brows and studied
and hesitated, but with all his think
ing he was at last beaten.
"You play WE'LL" said Tangre "That
game required all my skill to beat
you"
"In Paris" said the boy, eve always
play for q stake. think q stake tends
to sharpen my skill. Shall we have
one"
"As you like" said his opponent.
MAKE 1t louis game"
They played all the morning, and at
noon the governor had won what was
for him a goodly sum, having beaten
seven games In ten. Then the stranger
began to grow irritated.
WHAT he cried. "Have beaten
the best players Of the capital to come
here to be beaten by provincial?"
Tangre chuckled. Levesque put his
hand in his Docket and withdrew II
full Of golden louis. He repeated the
process till he had placed quite q pile
Of coins on the table.
"Match them" he said. "for the best
six games in eleven"
"Ah. Citizen said Tangre. looking at
the heap greedily, IF l only had the
wherewithal to match them would
gladly do So"
"You dare not" said Levesque.
as there nothing you would like me
to stake against them except goldw
"Yes," said the stranger; "there is

the governors ear:
