Anri Odd Custom* of tha Day. BY PETEK H’AITHUX. “I had my list Christmas dinner in th* middle of July," said the new returned traveler to his friends, when the subject of Christmas festivities and the cons*, quent financial drain for pretents hap* pencd to be brought up by the Impecuni­ ous member of the croup. “July!" exclaimed the clergyman In­ quiringly. “Haven't you made a mistake 1 Christmas is not one of the movable feasts of the church." "What I moan,” explained the travel­ er,. “la that if yoii had Ghrietmae here under the same conditions you would have It in July. I bad my last Christmas dinner in Australia." , fn reply to various inquiries he ex* plained; , . “As you, of course, know, they have summer in Australis when we have win* ter. here, but what struck me as stnmge was that, although Christmas Is the most adaptable feast in the world the people of Australia celebrate it just as we do. Last Christmas in Coolgardie there was a sandstorm instead of a bllzaard, and the theremometer stood > 00 degrees in the shade, but the windows of the stores were dressed with cotton snow and tinsel ice and evergreens, just as if the festival were,,being held in England, where most of those who were participating had been born. On Christmas eve Santa Claus came with a jingle of sleighhells and stamped arouDd to shake oil the ur* tificial .snow and was almost suffocated with mufflers and robes. .The Christinas dinner was. just as heavy as ever was served in midwinter, and the plum pud­ dings, that had been sent out from Eng­ land by thoughtful friends, were brought on burning." This led to a discussion of Christmas as it is celebrated in different parts of the world, and the fact was brought out that though Christmas revels often admit of variations the Anglo-Saxons, not using the term in. the all- embracing sense de­ scribed by Mr. Dooley, hnve a teudcncy to celebrate it In the same manner wher­ ever they may be. Different arctic ex­ plorers have given accounts of how they celebrated Christmas within the arctic circle, and their whole energy was di­ rected toward making the event as cioso a - duplicate of similar celebrations at home as fresh seal meat and canned goods would allow. "I hare noticed," said the clergyman, “that wherever Christmas is introduced ■A M M * Garmaa Syrup is tha apodal pre­ scription of Dr, A.

I spent one Christmas at a mission station among the Indians of the northwest, and when they gather­ ed around their Christmas tree they sang the hymns they had been taught and be­ sides chanted weird, monotonous songs of a maddening rhythm that made me fear that the festival would degenerate into a ghost dance or something of the iolrt.” “That sort of thing was what I re­ ferred to," said the traeveier, “when 1 ■poke of Christina* as being an adaptable feast. It seems to change in character to suit the different nations, that cele­ brate it, and as we have it now it has gathered features from many sources. Its liveliness, while being a religious insti­ tution; is attributed to' the fact that It supplanted the old saturnalia of pagan Rome and took something of the same character, as msy be seen from the fact that in early times the festivities were al­ ways presided over by a lord of misrule. Then the tree lighted with candles was added to it when it was Introduced by the church among the Scandinavians, who used to burn candles before the tree Ygdrrtfli, or tree of life, and in giving ■P their mythology for Christianity they still retained the symbol, which is now regarded as nothing more than a conven­ ient thing to hang toys and presents on.’ “But," exclaimed the Impecunious one who kept his mind on the material side of things, “whatever the church or an­ cient mythologies did for Christmas, America did the most of all to make it a satisfying institution." “I don’t see how,” said the clergyman, “It waa celebrated long before the dis­ covery of America." “Quite true," replied the loyat Amcrl- 'can. “But America had to be discovered before the turkey could be made tho crowning glory, of Christmas. Christo­ pher Columbus discovered It the moment he landed, and, by the way, it is a re­ markable fact that less than 80 years After the discovery of the new world the turkey Is mentioned In old descriptions of Christmas festivities as being the chief part of the Christmas cheer." “That reminds me," said the clergy­ man, “that America, with its rapid meth­ ods, has effected another change in the Christmas festivities. Originally they lasted from Christmas day until Twelfth Night, h'<t we have such a habit of con­ densing things that the whole fortnight of revels has been boiled down to one night and one day." “Ob, well," said the American cheerily, “I think I have learned ..ail 1 want to ibont Christmas, I have learned that it originated as a religious rite, then be­ came a festival, later a revel, and now It Is just a yearly blowout that makes a fellow like me hustle for the price of tho necessary present* and remembrance*," C EDARV ILLE , OH IO , A CCOUNTS of Merchants and In­ dividuals solicited.
