Entertainments and
Customs Of Long Ago

Early in the fifteenth century bur-
lesques of great extravaganza were
introduced into the castles of the
nobility, and even at court where the
noble ladies and lords were no doubt
bored with the heretofore solemn
celebration of the English Christmas.
These buffonieres were taken part in
by all the .retainers in the household.
and elaborate costumes were pro-
vided, some Of them Of Oriental splen-
dor. In the sixteenth century, how
ever. these plays became more refined
and were known as masques. from.
the masks still worn by the perform
ers. They resemble the private thea
tricals or drawing-room plays of the
present time.
Our Pilgrim, fathers countenanced
no such frivolities In their Christmas
celebrations. These masQues were no
doubt among the many worldly things
at which their honest, religious hearts
rebelled. They spent their very first
Christmas in their newly adopted
country - America in hewing the
logs to build the first house in Ply
mouth, Mass.
To those who have never expert
enced a Southern Christmas, can
hardly be told the spirit OF cheer and
unbounded hospitality which exists,
even in these busy times. though they
had their inception In the days before
the civil war, when everybody's latch
string was. ON the outside and nobody
could do too much for his neighbor.
For days before Christmas Southern
kitchens teemed. with marvellous odors

Signalling On japanese Railroads.

The safety system on japanese
railways has very much in com
mon with that In use on English
roads. Traffic on main lines is
handled exclusively under the block
system. the manual block instru-
ment being used on double-track
lines' and the tablet controlling
block apparatus on single-track
lines. The electric lines are pro-
tected by automatic signals OF the
Hall type. Semaphores are In gen.
ersl use on main lines, while disc
signals are used on sidings. The
important stations are provided
with . mechanical interiocking sys-
tenn. while at smaller. intermediate
stations, where traffic Is not heavy,
a very simple interlocking method
is in use.
