CHRISTMAS IN

No place in all the world has Il
greater interest in the Christmas sea
son than Bethlehem The normal pop
ulation of the town whore Christ was
born in less than 5000, but during
Christmas week it becomes Il great
cosmopolitan center of 10000 or GO.O00
souls, all eager to pay homage to the
place hallowed by the Saviour's birth
In Bethlehem people are brought face
to face with the wonderful scenes
which are but feebIy known to the rest
of the world. Here they may see the
place where the three wise men of the
east halted after their long journey
Here they worship the shrine inclosing
the manager in which Christ was born
They walk along the same road fol
lowed by the Virgin Mary in her jour

DIVORCE IN VARIOUS LANDS

In Hindostan either party for a
slight cause may leave the other and
marry.
In the olden times the Jews had a
discretionary power Of divorcing their
wives.
Divorces are scarcely allowed in
Thibet, unless with the consent of
both parties. Remarriage is forbid
den.
In Cochin China the parties desir-
ing divorce break pair of chopsticks
in the presence of witnesses and the
thing is done.
If the wife of Turkoman asks his
permission to go out and he says go"
without adding, come back again"
they are divorced
In Siberia, if a man is dissatisfied
with the most trifling acts of his wife,
he tears a cap or veil from her face
and that constitutes a divorce.
In Siam the first wife may be d.
vorced but not sold, as the others may
be- She may claim the first child.
The others belong to the husband.
Among the Moors. II the wife does
not become the mother of a boy, she
may be divorced with the consent Of
the tribe and can marry again.
In the Arctic region, a man who
wants a divorce leaves home in anger
and does not return for several days.
The wife takes the hint and de-
parts.

I FIRST CHRISTMAS FEAST. ]

The first feast to be celebrated on
Dec. 20 was established by Commodus,
emperor of Rome, who reigned about
1875 years after the birth of Christ
After that there are many references
in history to meetings of the new sect
called Christians, who gathered on this
day to celebrate the birth of the God
man 1t is not until century after
the time Of COmmodus that we find
particular reference to the prosecutions
that the Christians underwent at the
hands of the pagan emperors, culminat-
ing in Christmas day massacre.
When Rome was no longer a pagan
state the feast began to be celebrated
in Christian style, and those who OBJ
served the birth of Christ in those days
did so in widely separated countries
and frequently at widely different pc
ricdS of time and according to no set
program The anrients agreed on one

THE CHRIST CHlLD'S MANGER.
Pretty but Obsolescent Feature of the
Latin Christmas.

All through the Italian and Hunga-
rian quarters in New York city may be
found traces of the manger at Christ
mas time. The Italians call it the
''presepio," which means Manager; the
Hungarians the Bethlehem"
The manger is an exceedingly old
and interesting devotion in the Catholic
countries of south Europe. st Francis

years since carpenter could not be

CUPID MAKES QUEER TANGLE

Through the marriage OF Harold
A. Leek, a son OF Joseph Leek of Islip,
L. l., with Miss Ida Smith, daughter
of Egbert z. Smith of Islip, a queer
mixup in relationships has come. The
brides mother died years ago and her
father married the daughter of Joseph
Leek, father Of the present bride
groom.
AS a result of the recent wedding
the bridegroom's father-ln-law is his
brother-in-law; the brides father-in-
law is her own fathers father-in-law;
the bridegroom is step-uncle Of the
bride, who therefore becomes her own
husbands step-niece, the brides step
mother is her sister-in-law, and her
own father is her brotherin-law, and
finally the brides father-in-law is her
own step-grandfather

SAVES CHILD BY BOLD LEAP

Leaping from moving locomotive
into a stream at the side of the rail
road track, Fireman Frank Ball, en-
ployed on an Erie switch engine at
Passaic, n. j., rescued four-year-old
Molly Roman. who had fallen into the
Dundee canal. While playing on the
bank the girl lost her balance and fell
in. Fireman Ball saw the youngster
fall into the water as his engine drew
near. He leaped into the stream and
with a few powerful strokes reached
the side of the child.
