This Is a custom of many vears standing, and only once or twice has it been broken. The clerks in the departments, and there are many thousands of them, not only get a Christmas holiday, but are allowed to leave their work at noon on the day previ. ous In order that they may do thelr Christmas shopping The lot o! the department clerk inp Washington is not a hard one, as far as the matter of holidays is concerned. Every employe is given a month's leave on full pay in each vear, and is allowed another month “to be sick in.” This last statement means, of course, only that {f an employe is {Il he or she receives full pay for one month on receipt of the physician’s certificate that the iliness has been real. The clerks get seven or eight holidays each yvear, and these, taken in connection with the month's leave, and with the fact that the hours of work number only sever and a half each day, make the laboring condi tion of the department clerk fairly comfortable. = ~ Washington's Christmas is always a green Christmas, even if there 1s snow on the ground, for in this latitude there are many trees and shrubs that hold their leaves and thelr color all through the year. As a matter of fact there is ravely any snow in the capital city that.is worthy of the name. All last winter, save for a few hours, the streets were bare of snow.

The army officer, whether he goes to the Philippines or to. some distant frontier post, ordinarily takes his family with him and so Christmas day does not to bim neces - sarily bring with it the sense of loneliness and homesickuess that It brings to the man at sea ; In the binlogicai survey, which is a bureau of the de partment of agriculture, there are many scientists at work. Most of these men have spent a large part of their lives In the wilds studying birds and mammals, and shells, plants and fishes, to say nothing of reptiles. The _office life ts irksome to these scientists, They belong to the free air, the barren plains, and the pine forests. So it is that on every holidy that brings with It a release from office cares, they-take to the open flelds. About the hills in many places about Washington on Christmas day there are to be seen the little camp fires of the scientists who are cooking their mid-day Christmas dinpers under the .open sky. - _ . ' Some time ago all the bird students In the United States were asked, if they could, to make a trip afield on - Christmas day and to make a list of the birds that they found. Thnusands of bird lovers followed the suggestion “and are still following it. Each one of the students turns in a report to a central headquarters giving the names of the birds that on Christmas day fell under his observation. As a result of this practice the Washington sci_entists have many valuable notes concerning “out of season” birds. For instance, the report came to Washington on a Christmas or two ago, that on the holiday four mocking birds were seen and positively identified in the fields near Boston, Mass. . Qther birds were reported from other northern localities, birds that in the ordinary _course of things ought to have been far south of the Ma-

that of the surrounding air, and mus} ’eb{ainedbaccess to an almost virgin| | field. . : : That crystals, when placed in the | saturated mother liguor, grow and Lave the power of healing fractures have suggested to many that crystallized matter is a form of life. Prof. | Lehmann ventures with some confiaence to assert, not that crystals themselves are lving, but that orys-

AMERICA’S CHRISTMAS A A MA A A A A A AA A _An occasional Jersey commuter, familiar with the re Hglous section of Barclay sireet, s commonly the only sort of Awmerican in New York who knows a presepio by sight. Yet the preseplo is the sign of the Latin Christmas, as the fir tree is of the porthern. The manger of the Barclay street windows shows only the inside of the stable, with the figures and the cattle done in ltalian terracotta. But the real presepio in its native land may show the whole countryside as well, and {f the pillgrims wending their way to the manger are good Sicillan peasants, bearing good Sicllian wine and cheese on their donkeys, they are only the more interesting. : St. Francis, born in the quaint little town of Assis! among the brown Umbrian hills, in 1182, Invented the presepio to make the Christmas story plain to the simple, flliterate comimon people. - During the 800 years since it has remained a favorite devotion in Latin Europe. The Italian and Spanish call it the preseplo, the manger; the French the creche, thé cradle: and the Hungarians and Belgians, Betleim, or Bethlehem. - . Only a Tew years since not a carpenter ceuld be hired in Rome or Naples for weeks before Christmas, They

In fact, the similarity in aspect and behavior between certain lgquid crystals and | bacteria is remarkable, and scarcelyi can be accidental. - Prof. Lehmann suggests that in +ife the directional force is “that mysterious essence so much discussed, and so little understood. the soul.” In support of this “bold hypothesis” ne-! puts forward many arguments and marshals an array of facts. it Is de-

The abounding giving of an American Christmas; the uneasy uncomforiable feellng that every child, at least, must have, if possible, a good dinner and a present on Christmas day, is quite unknown in the Latin countries. . : : The feeling that poor old bums and hoboes, even the erimipals In thelr prisons, the paupers in their almshouses, the beggars, the unworthy—all ought to have something good to eat on that day, and a little Christ mas cheer in some form-—is part of the American Christ mas. . : ‘ s The races that come.to the melting pot of America keep their home Christmak for only a few years after they arrive.

He was at 21 an accomplished soldier and eour titer. That he really loved Elizabeth fa very doubiful Hut he was _ambi tious and jumped at so dazziing a chance for advancing his own inter ests. At heart he was honest and impulsive. It was not as easy for him as for hig predecessors to keep on good terms with the cranky old queen and to soothe her {ll-humor with pretty speeches. In fact, so tiresome didhe find the royal flirtation that he tried to amuse himself moré once by making love to her majesty's maids of honor. But thia was perilous pastime. For Elizabeth was as jealous as she was vain. e Court life wearled young Essex: Wars, explorations and other. sorts of adventure were going on all about him. But Elizabeth would not let him take part in any of these expeditions. SBhe could not bear to have him out of her sight. He loved excitement and found existence dreary at the palace. So in 1587, when he was 22, be slipped away secretly and joined Drake’s fleet that was sailing on Portugal. = But Elizabeth sent a message after the fleet commanding Essex “at his uttermost peril” to come back at once. Back he came, angry and chagrined, in fo mood to meet Elizabeth's reproaches. In this mood he picked a guarrel with Sir Charles Blount, on whom the queen- had also deigned to cast a favoring eve. He and Blount fought a duel, in which Essex was wounded and disarmed. - S Life at tne court dragged on for a while longer. Then Essex fell in love with the clever widow of Sir Philip Sydney and married her. The marriage was kept secret for fear of the queen’s wrath. Nor was the fear in vain.
