(++++■«■ •H-++4--!"H'+4'++++++*+ CHRISTMAS COMMENTS 1 The buldheaded man is flattered , When his little son presents him with a hairbrush. Soldiers are never so poor al Christ- | mas time that they cannot present arms. The first Christmas present any man should buy is a set of receipted bills ! lor himself from all his creditors. [ The proper kind of holiday presents fur men In responsible positions where ■ nerves and patience are tried to the uttermost is presence of mind. Beginning with the glad New Year the dime museums hope to have on exhibition the man who never gave a Christinas present from u sense of duty. The crabbed bachelor member of Hie family who with a spurt of generosity purchased for the children the long, resonant Christmas horns will hate souti completed the task of kicking himself Into the glad New Year. A few weeks ago a woman wrote a letter to a newspaper, in which she said, “if I could get money how 1 would make people's hearts bound with I Joy!” A rich uncle-presented her witli 8100 on Christmas day, and the sealskin sack she bought with the money made a number of people’s hearts ' bound with envy. CHRISTMASTIDE IN MEXICO. A Feast That Is Celebrated For Two Weeks. In fiesta loving Mexico Christinas l.« celebrated for two weeks, beeinninc with the 17th nf December and not ending until New Year's day. The principal features of the celebration arc tlie “poaadas” and “pinntas." both' . very quaint and picturesque customs j and entirely peculiar to Mexico. •‘i’os.ndn" in Spanish means “abhl- ■ ing place" or “inn" and in Mexico Is ; applied to the nightly semireligious nnd entirely jolly performances which in i | the houses of all Mexicans last from the 17th to the 25th of December 1 These celebrations are called “posn das" because they are in cominemora [ tlon of that night when the holy family nnavailingly searched for an -abid l ing place" or “inn" nnd. unable to find I such n place, sought refuge in the stnI tile where our Lord was born. At an early hour, on account of th< I clamoring children, the signal is given r I for the plnnta breaking, nnd all the guests link gayly about the bobbin? , clown, with the servants and small I babies congregated in tlie background ; When tlie assembly is complete al' join hands and circle about the big t glittering toy ns it swings from ib hook in the ceiling. One of tlie chil dren is blindfolded and placed in th< center of the ring. ju?.t under tlie pi nata; a long, light pole is liandud to bei and she is told to strike carefully ant “con niiieha foerxa" (with much force in the direction of the plnnta. Good nature demands ttant nil of th< i children first have an opportunity t< break the pinata. As they naturally ' are never able to do so. the clown being a tougli tillered individual, th, turn of the grownups comes next One by one they are blindfolded, turn isl about three times nnd then adtnou isbed to “strike out." Amid applause from the elders nu< wild yells from the children the pinati is finally located and struck nt vicious : ly. when —bey. presto! —the poo' clown's gay bloomers and red and gol< waistcoat are rent from top to bottom his big sombrero is sent flying acros : the room, aud down upon your devot i ml bend comes a deafening rain o< , oranges, nuts, small candies, all sort- f <>f small, unbreakable presents aud al conceivable kinds of dulces and goo< things to ent. .11 linin mm in Appropriate Christmas Presents. “Have you decided on your present* for the boys yet, my dear?" asked Mr Hendricks after the lads had left th« breakfast table for school. “Not quite uiL But 1 have decided William, that they shall all be given something useful. There is no use in wasting money on useless toys tor them to break. And. by the way. we need a new rug for tlie parlor and n I , dozen tumblers. William." “Ail, well, why uot get the rug for George nnd give the tumblers to John?" The Perennial Complaint. “Now. my dear," said Mr. Younghus- 1 band to the partner of his joys, who • was alsxit to start forth on Christ- • intis shopping bent, "got presents for all the fsuiily-in-lnw nud buy a nice lot <>f things for the boys, but don’t s|>end more than SIOO. We must live within our income,’’ “Why. George." replied the indy in iiu aggrieved tone, "you told me we ■ had S‘JUO this month—you know you I did." And Mr. Yoitnghusbnnd only sighed. 11 An Anoient Christmas Custom. One of the oldest and for centuries | one of the most popular of all Christmu usages is the singing of Christmas carols by parties of children or of i young tnen nnd women, who go al»out * from house to house for that purpose. , being everywhere heartily welcomed! mid rewarded with money and Christnine good cheer. This custom Is still largely observed In England, particularly in tlie country districts ( To Give and Rscsive. | •• ’TI« mors pleasant to give than to got" 1 was once , By n worthy phUoonpher Mid.
