He even changes his name and sometimes goes as two dif ferent persons to the same house. In Germany. fr instance, we find the good children waiting in joyous ex pioation for the coming of the he loved "(h' ist Child," while the naughty one s are waiting In fear and dread for "Knecht Ruppert." But even at his very sternest the dear old saint can not long g leve the heart of any child, for after Knecht Ruppert,. hearing an old helb, with which he announces his coming, and an earthen pot, holding the presents, has ques tioned the children very sharply, threatening severe punishments for all the mischief of the past year, the blessed Christ Child appears, and lay ing his hands on the heads of the little ones, begs Knecht Ruppert tot forgive them just once more, and give ' L /1 .2 them their Christmas presents. Then the gruff old man, grumbling and scowling, finally consents to do so, and the gifts are taken from the earthen pot and distributed by the Christ Child. The Christ Child is very generous, for he is not often content with giving the children their gifts In this way, he must have a Christmas tree as well. The Christmas tree is lighted on Christmas Eve, so that the little German children have a pretty long Christmas, starting in with the Christmas Eve tree, and celebrating ill through Christmas Day with feast ing and lavish gift-making. In Iol •Ind the children do not hang up their ,tockiings, bIt put their little wooden Shoes side by side, in straight rows by the fireside, sure that the good old :aint will fill them with goodies be fore morning. In Belgium St. Nich olas is the patron saint of the young folks, and as his death is supposed to have occlrrted on the 6th of De cember, about the middle of the sixth eentury, it is on December 6 that St. Nicholas Day is celebrated. This day I corresponds with our Christmas, but c the children prep:iar for the gifts very I differently from our children. St. Nicholas makes his yearly trip through Belgium in a white chariot drawn by four white horses, and the I children, after polishing their little I wooden shoes very brightly on Christ- c ams Eve, fill them with hay, oats and I carrots for the good saint's white 1 borses. The shoes are then placed either on a table or before the fire place and the doors of the room are elosel locked. You may be sure it i WVhlle from the little trundle-beds their merry voices hum, As eagerly they wonder just "when Santa C'laus will come."

PIut the\ seem to hover near me in the firelight's fitful glow, Sweet spirits of the (hristmas-time, dear Christmas long ago. -Katherine L. Daniher, in Leslie's. is very early the next morning that the little ones unlock the doors and rush in the room. Such a-scene of confusion reigns! It looks, indeed, as if the white horses had been there, for the furniture has all been turned topsy turvy, and every bit of food is gone from the little shoes. They are filled instead with toys and sweet meats and gingerbread St. Nicholases. These images of St. Nicholas, made of gingerbread, are a very important part of the day. No feast is complete without one, and no home too humble to secure at least one. They come in all sizes and in all degrees, from tiny ones a couple of inches high, without any ornaments whatever, to the very large ones, three or four feet high, richly ornamented with colored icings and fruits and elaborately trimmed with tinsel and gold and silver paper. The white horses of St. Nicholas change drivers between St. Nicholas Day and Christmas, for on Christmas Eve they bear the Christ Child into Bohemia. It is just at twilight that the tinkling of silver bells announces the coming of the Christ Child to the watching children of Bohemia. Every door and window is then thrown wide open, and as the white chariot is whirled swiftly through the air the Christ Child throws his gifts into the hands of the children thronging doors and windows in eager expectation of his visit. The Bambino Is the Christ Child of Italy, and the Italian children are all taken to church on Christmas morn Ing to worship the Bambino before receiving his gifts. After a mass has been said a sacred image of the Bam bino is held by the priest for each child to kiss, and after this ceremony is ended the Bambino comes among the children and distributes his gifts. In Spain, where Christmas comes with roses and sunshine instead of Ice and snow, the children hide their shoes and slippers among the blossoming trees and bushes on Christmas Eve, and find them filled with fruit, sugar plums and toys on Christmas morn ing. In Sweden and Denmark the great est mystery and the gayest sort of merrymaking accompanies the gift making. The Christmas box is wrapped in numberless papers, de signed to conceal its shape and size as completely as possible, and the name and add:*;s of the recipient is clearly marked upon it; then the box is intrusted to some fantastically dis guised messenger, who rushes to the house, gives a resounding rap on door or window, and as it is opened flings the box In and swiftly disappears. If by any chance a door or window is open when the messenger arrives, so much the better; for then, without any preliminary warning, the box is tossed into the house apparently by unseen hands. The streets are thronged on Christmas Eve with a motley crowd. Dwarfs and giants, angels and devils, fairies and gnomes, beggars and princes, cripples on crutches, cavaliers on horseback, rush helterskelter, pellmell, jostling one another, joking and laughing, each one bent upon delivering his Christ mas box in the most mysterloud man ner possible. A very pretty custom is taught the children of these North ern countries which it would be well for you little ones to remember-that is the old one of feeding all birds and animals at this great holiday time. The children hang sheaves of wheat on the fence and eaves of the building that the birds of the air may share the Christmas feast with them, and: all the animals are given special feast at this seasoun in France, the Jesus Bambin is .he children's Christmas saint. The French children, as veI as the Dutch, r range their little shoes in front of the fa ireplace and fnd them well illted in' the morning. in the country placers of France, Jesus Bambin often comes in the guise of a young girl attended ,y by angels. On her head she wears a crown of gold paper, set around with e tapers, and she carries in one hand !r a silver bell, and a basket of sweet- I meats and toys in the other. it n Austria, the coming of the Christ Child is told by some one who w takes the part of the angel Gabriel. The greeting of the engel to the peu pie who have come to meet the Christ tr Child is as follows: "My name I. Gabriel; from heaven I come to greet you, and to tell you of the approach of the Christ Child. In my hands I bear the sceptre He has given me; on my head I wear the crown." As the angel ceases to speak a chime of sil ver bells announces that the Christ Child is near, and a'moment later a little figure, white clad and wearing a golden crown, enters the room, car rying a basket filled with nuts, cakes and fruit: "Down from high heaven I come into your hearts to dwell," chants the Christ Child, and then, while the little ones stand in awed 4 silence, the Christ Child mingles among them. He asks each one if he attends church faithfully, says his' prayers, and is a good, obedient child If the answer is yes, gifts accom panied by loving words of praise are it the reward ,from' the Christ Child; d but if the little one confesses to a bad year, then the angel Gabriel steps for d, ward, and the unlucky child gets from e, his hands only a switch, while the d Christ Child pleads with him to be a, is better child during the coming year. re Though Christmas is celebrated. t- you see, in many ways in these old s. lands so far away fr-)m us, still in of the Old World, beyond the sea, as nt well as in our own, the same message, to "Peace on earth, good will to men," le is in every heart.-Newark Sunday in Call. ny CHRISTMAS GIFTS MADE d BY BOYS AND GIRLS A Circus Rug.

Discovery at Mammoth Cave. Every one has heard of the Mam moth Cave of Kentucky, but few probably are aware that its discovery 'was due to the search for suitable *earth for the manufacture of salt petre. The anxiety to find saltpetre earth was due to the embargo bill passed by Congress in 1807, which forbade American vessels to sell for Europe and foreign vessels to land cargoes in America The Americans needed gunpowder, and to make it they required salt petre. They had been getting it from Spain and Italy, but the embargo bill stopped that, and there was no Amer ican supply of the substance. A rov ing chemist, named Samuel Brown, had shown how saltpetre, or potas slum nitrate, could be obtained from cave earth. And so the quest for caves was begun, and assiduously con tinued. When the Mammoth Cave was found, every port ef the great cavern was searched for cave earth. From pit, by-ways and avenues slaves car ried out the heavy loads of petre learth. Many thousands of toes were treated, and the rude chemistry of day produced something like 100,000 pounds of saltpetre within two years -Kansas City Journal. Springfield's Old Bell. A group of citizens called on Mayor Sanderson in his omce yesterday morning and presented to his atten tion a plan that they had formulated for the preservation of the old City Hall bell for use in the new municipal building. The old bell tolled .the hours to downtown Springeld for many years, announced unusual catastrophes and 'spread the alarm of ares from the tower down from which it crashced dur. ing the burning of the old City Hall. When it was cooled enough to permit its being dragged from the debris and ezamined It was found that the bell was intact excepting the top part, up oa which the hanger and tongue had been attached. This part was broken off, and so the old bell has remained ever since, posed on a low pedestal in I the present municipal building, ilth a Sgreat hol _yawning in its top.--Sprin. LITTLE OLD NEW YORK. Larger Population Than Sixteen Dlf. ferent States and Territorie. Some one who is apt at figures has I shown that New York city today Ii larger In population than ziteen dif ferent States and Territories, and further that within a radius of twen. ty miles are living over 10,000,000 people. The improved methods of trans a portation, which are fast widening the limits of New York's basnlaess energy, will soon embrace a radius of fifty miles, within which are located 2,364 different towns and cities whose I total population, with that of Greater New York, is equal to fully one-fifth of the population of the United e States. When it Is realized that the perma nent increase in population of New York last year was about 400,000, a city the size of Cleveland, Ohio, I some idea of the tremendous growth of the city can be appreciated. On. of the assurances of a continued and t permanent growth is to be found In I the 50,000 marriages that take plact every year. Besides this permanent increase New York is entertaining an average of over 150,000 transient visitors ev ery day, and at sme seasons, when. the hotel accommodations are taxed to their utmost, fully 300,000 people are chronicled In their home papers as "spending a few days in New York on pleasure and business."- d National Magazine. b RABBITS ARE HARD FIGHTERS. The Charge of Cowardice a Slander -Defeat of a Ferret. Tell a man that he hasn't the pluck of a rabbit and if he doesn't dis prove it by hitting you he is certain at any rate to be extremely annoyed. Yet the taunt is a libel on the rab. bit. A doe rabbit will fight like fury in defence of her young. She will charge like a battering ram and use those long sharp incisors of hers to capital purpose. An old buck rabbit is not to be lightly tackled by weasel, stoat or even ferret. On the sanded floor if a small public house near Chestnut a ferret of long experience was matched with an old lopeared buck, the property of the landlord. The ferret made straight for the rabbit's throat, but the latter was in the air before master ferret could reach him, and leaping clean over the ferret's head let out with those powerful hind legs of his a kick which hurled the ferret bodily against the wainscot. Twice the ferret returned oo the attack and twice he missed his grip and went burtling through the air. The third repulse was enough for him. He knew he was beaten and could not be 'persuaded to stand up .or a fourth round.--Pearson's Weeb Moliere's Misanthrope. A literary problem periodically de bated by lovers of Moliere has been the identity of that famous type of Alceste in the great dramatist's "Le Mlisanthrope." The plausible sus picion that the character was sug gested by the Marquis de Montausier Mlarec-hal de Camp and Governor of Colmar under Louis XIII., and later the preceptor of Louis XIV., would seem to be henceforth beyond all doubt in consequence of a curious dis cqvery made by M. Leon Lefebvre during his recent examination of the Colmar archives. He has found a voluminous correspondence exchang Sd between the Marquis and the town officials. and he noted in the gover Ior's letters several passages virtual ly identical with the well known verses of "Le Misanthrope." He con eludes that Montausier was Moliere's model. The demonstration of his dis covery is to be found in a study pub Ilshed in the Correspondant, under I /the title "Le Drame de l'Ame Alsa Sienne au Dix-Septieme Biecle."
