There Is only one spot in the whole
world where Christmas is celebrated
twice each year and that is the Island
OF Madagascar. of the eastern coast
0f the southern end of Africa, and
Which dominates thai part of the In
dten ocean.
Marco Polo, the great traveller, first
M de this island known to medieval
Europe In 1898. 1t WAS nearly two
hundred years later when a Portu-
guese traveller obtained the frs au-
ihantic Information about the island.
i'm 1897. From that time on there yer
attempts by the Portuguese, French and
English to settle the island, and they
met with defeat at the hands Of the
Wild and savage Hovas, who controlled
the island. and many died from Mala-
gaSy fever in the iOWlands OF the coast.
Or Christmas eve in 1872 all the
.Frenchmen ut Fort Danphin were MUIR
.de1ed by the natives. In 1910 a Hoya
chief, Radama l, a young man, allowed
the Christian missionaries to teach
their Bible doctrines In the island. and
by 1920 Protestant Christianity was
effectively introduced among the
HORaS.
First Christian Ruler.
RAdama died In 1923. and one OF his
wives became Queen R~anavalona I.
She was bitter against the Christians
and persecuted them In many cruel
ways, and she had her warriors from
the iEteriOr mountains Of the island
massacre the native Christians, who
would not the Christian God
and go back to the worship of idols.
The cruel queen reigned until her
death ia 1S61-a wicked record Of 80
years. Then her son. Radama II, be-
came king, and although he was a
great drunkard and led a wild life
himself, he allowed the Christian mis-
He was assassinated in the palace In
1863. and his widow, Rasoherina. was
proclaimed queen. Upon her death in
1868. = niece of Ranayalona l ascended
the throne as RanavalOna III. When q
girl, her gentle charities and sympa-
thies with the Christians during their
prosecutions had won respect and love,
and when she became queen 1t was I'M
derstoOd that Madagascar had the first
really Christian ruler on It's throne.
Between 1880 and 1886 the entire BIZ
BILE had been printed In the Malagasy
language. also an English-M alagasy
dictionary. So, on the day Of her coro-
nation the idol which had been promi-
nent on similar occasions was banished

while on the canopy above, In golden
letters, were the words: "Glory to God

Ordered Idols Destroyed.
She ordered her own household idols
and the chief national idol to be burn
ed and gradually her example was fol-
lowed by the general destruction Of
household idols among the Hovas. She
married the prime minister the fol-
lowing year and made a public profess
sion Of her faith. and from that time
on the Christian religion has been
growing fast in the island.
The words over the canopy at her
coronation the queen knew to be spok-
en- by the angels in the sky when the
shepherds heard the noise of wings
at the time the Christ was born in
Bethlehem. Christmas Is celebrated
all over the island now. But the Hovas
have a different way of computing time
and by their system Christmas falls
some time in November, and they cele-
bYate it then. The Christian date of
December D is also celebrated by the
natives along with the missionaries.
Put 1t is not a Christmas Of snow
and sieighbells. It IS a tropical country
and Christmas day is under a torrid
sun, but the sky Is brilliant and the
magnificent Towering trees of many
vivid colors are filed with many Pc
culiar birds of brilliant plumage, while
the ground beneath is b~espangled with
wild blossoms of varied hues.

diagnose the disease and vaccinate for
it. He said as soon as a "droopy" hog
is discovered in pen it is well AT
once to take the temperature of several
others and if the temperature is high it
is evident that hog cholera is present.
He said if vaccination is resorted to
at once, when this condition is found.
there probably will be S5 per cent saved
and if there is a delay Of three or four
days, Is per cent efficiency may be
attained, but if it is allowed to 90 for
a week the farmer will be fortunate #
he saves so per cent of his hogs. The
best plan is to vaccinate and do it at
once upon the discovery of the pres
ence Of the disease. OF all hog losses,
80 per cent are caused by hog cholera.
