When Shepherds Watched by Night, Borne historians contend that the shepherds could not have watched by night on the Bethlehem plains in De­ cember, It being a period of great in­ clemency. In answer to this a well known student says; "Bethlehem Is not a cold region. The mercury usual­ ly stands all tho month of December at 46 degrees. Com io sown during this time, and grass and herbs spring Up after the ralU3, so that the Arabs drive their flocks down from the moun­ tains into the plains,. The most deli­ cate never make fires till about the nd of November, and some pass the whole winter without them. From these facto I thlttk it is established wlthput doubt that our Saviour was born oh the 25th day of December, the day which the church throughout tho world has united to celebrate iu honor bf Christ’s comingln the flesh,"—Wash­ ington star.

AZTECS’ HORRIBLE HOLIDAY, They Celebrated the New'Year With 1 - Human Sacrifices, The bloody aud complicated ritual of the Asteckeojnnmmorated the returnor their masterful war god. the sun. from tho south, and the ceremonies carried bn In his honor ■qctrnpied a period of several days. The initiatory rites be­ gan before daylight of the ties}! morn­ ing, when- the chief priest; and his, sub dignitaries ■vended their way In sol emu procession, m the top of their greatest pyramidal *?anoiuary,, Here tlie high priest retired atone to a small temple, whose doorway opeued toward the east, ami as the risi; g\suu crimson ed ami purpled thd serrated mountains' he knelt aud sprinkled thickly upon the marble floor the snered meal. As the first rays of the newborn mm strike slantingly across the floor of the tiny temple fit# lmndeit priest beholds a miracle. Faintly at first, then wrong­ er and stronger, grows an imprint In the meal of fbs naked foot or their war god. Epon this miraculous manifesta­ tion the high priest -announces .to the assembled <;mu‘!era. that their god has returned to them and that (he grand festal occasion i» If?a,’,'garama., Unhappily the flmt feast rites? were of a grewsome add horrible nature, consisting mainly In Hucrllleltig youths- to the gods.

Th* Jawich New Year, In otrikhnt opposition to the spirit of joy and happiness which pervades Christendom generally la the New Year of tho .Tews, With the Jews, who also observe the New Year for two days, the days are not days of feasting and enjoyment, but days of judgment. According to the belief of every orthodox Jew, every member of the Jewish race Is tried on the New Year. The hooks kept In heaven are opened on that day. Tim record of each man for the year just ending Is looked through' and taken under advisement for ten days. On the tenth day, the day of atonement, the fate of each man for the coming year Is rawn up, whether he should live or e, prosper or he poor. On tho -Jay o atonement the fate Is sealed and nothing can changes St pay more.—Chicago Tribune.
