In abundance. One day Mrs. Pen
nington went thero to pick some
berries for auppttr, and took her
little baby girl with her. The baby
grew tired in a little while, and the
mother arranged a bed ol dry leaves
for it under a sheltering sumach
bush. In a few minutes the child
was asleep, and tho mother resumed
her berry picking. It was an op
prcsaivcly hot day, when the air
waa full of electricity and not a
breath of wind stirring anwhere. A
squall was coming up rapidly from
tho cast, the liuhtniug was showing
dimly on its upper edge, bat Mrs.
Pennington waa apparently oblivi
ous ot the approach of the storm,
glad only that the baby slept so well
and gave bcr so little trouble. Put
it was not tho storm alone that
threatened danger. At the very
edge of tho thicket, aud only a few
feet from the sleeping baby, its eyes
gleaming, its head laid flat on the
ground and its tail htshirg its tawny
sides, a huge Mexican lion was
crouching ready to spring. For a
moment it dug its hind paws nerv
ously into the ground, and then it
leaped into tho air. It fell dead
only a few inches from the sleeping
baby, just as a loud peal of thunder
caused Mrs. Pennington to look
around for the safety of the child.

Growth of American Chrittmat Customs.
America has welcomed and adop
ted the Christmas tree with cordial
affection and treated it aa if it were
product of her own inventive
brain. Transplanted to tho United
States by the early Dutch settlers of
Acw l ork and by th Germans
who established themselves in Penn
sylvania, it grew and flourished as
it did in its native soil. Its advance
was slow, but in 1S30 the Christmas
tree had become a fixed lactor in
the holiday celebrations, not only
in families of direct German de
scent, but among that composite
population called Americau. Small
cedar trees were first used, and were
called "Christmas bushes." They
were decorated with rosy apples,
paper flowers, a few small candles,
gilded nuts and "Christmas cakes."
This last confection seems to be
entirely out of date. It took tho
form ot small horses, dogs, cows,
hearts and diamonds, and w.g a
comli'vt'.cc of Hour and water paste
and white and colored sugar trost
ing. Even by those who recall the
Christmas cake with totidost recol
lection it h admitted to have been
rather a Vclight to the eye than a
joy to the palate or the digestion.
As years went on, and the young
nation grew older and richer and
the life ol the people more luxuri
ous aud complex, the "Christmas
bushes," with their paper flowers,
and "Christmas cakes, developed
into a tree, which is often an elab
orate and extensive affair.
Put it ia not in civilized or Chris
tian lands alone that this wonderful
Christmas tree growa. Missionaries
have planted it in China, in Japan,
in India, Africa, in the islands of
the sea, so that yellow, brown and
black faces, as well as white, gaze
up at it with delight. Fiom the

A Short Sketch Giving Information on a
Subject of Peculiar Interest to ail
People lust Now,
This is a great season In Bethle
hem. Tho pictiiresqiio old town
whore Christ was horn never forgets
to do honor to tho Saviour of man
kind at surely as the year rolls
around.
To this plaje, as tho followers of
Mahomet flock to Mecca, the fol
lowers ot Christ como annually on
the'day of his nativity. Here they
kneil and pray and spend tho time
in holy meditation.
Pilgrimages are also made to a
grotto near tho Chnrch of tho Na
tivity, which is supposed to be the
site of the palacu of justice where
innumerable, children wcro (lain by
order of King Herod.
1 heso pilgramsges are not lightly
undertaken. They began several
weeks ago, and even now tho six
thousands iuhabi'ants of Pethlehcm
are enj -tying a loiiir, happy festival.
Many aro the banquets, tho social
visits and the joyous betrothals.
Alter the carnival there is a last,
during which there ia no self-glori
fication, no pampering of the flesh
or love making. At the end of the
fast, which wi.l close next week,
the Christinas ceremonies will take
place.
On Christmas hve the Christians
in Jerusalem will gather together
and flock out of tho city with their
faces set for the church ot the isa-
tivity, in l.ethleheni. lhcy will
march down through the valley of
Gihoti, the old boundary between
LientHmiii and Judah. Ihey will
fee, as they pass, the ticc on which
the traitor Jndis is said to have
hanged himself, and the well out of
which the wise men drew water af
ter thev had left Herod.
Within their viow will also be
the Convent of Elijah, erected on
the sp. t where the prophet rested
during his flight from Jt zebcl. As
thev come to the end of their march
the peoplo of Pethlehcm will come
out to meet them, and thftn, pro
ceeded by gaily attired wa.id bear
ing heralds, and followed by an im
mense throng of men, women and
children, they wili march toward
the Church ot the Nativity, the old
est monument of Christian archi
tecture in the world.
There Mass will bo celebrated
while armed Turkish soldiers in full
unifoim of red fezzes, blue jackets
and baggy trousers stand on guard
beside the altar and around the bril
liant silver star v. here Christ is eup
posed to have lam in the manger.
I his star gleams np trom the
pavement and is the raoet conspicu
ous object in the grotto. Impa, the
bgnres of many saints and other
ornaments are in this grotto, and in
uiie corner are lamps which are
lways kept burning.
Close by this altar are the manger
and another altar, on which the wise
men are said to have presented their
gifts to Christ. All these objects
are considered of inestimable value
by the members of the different
church sects, and were it not for the
presence of Turkish soldiers it is
more than likely that disputes would
arise as to the right ot proprietor
ship. ith this visit and Mass in the
grotto the Christmas Eve ceremo
nies end. On Christmas Day the
regular Roman Cittholic service will
be held in the same church, aud the
remainder of tho day will be spent
in merry making.
Dunug the evening friends will
visit each other and exchange cour
tesies. The spirit of peace and joy
will brood over the old town, and
a hen the ceremonies end the Christ
ians of littthlchcm may say to them
selves, "Verily, for ua, as for so
many generations of our anceetors,
this ha been a happy eea-on."
During the visiting period an
abundauce of coffee, sweetmeats and
tobacco will be consumed, and many
young men and maids w ho liecame
betrothed betorc-, the ttst will be
joined in the tot of matrimony.
Cymbals are tavorfte instruments in
the East, and ilnir music ;s never
louder than during Chritu as wejk
in Pethlehem.
With such music the pilgrims are
welcomed, and the same music is
heard continually as Ion ax the cer
emonies If st. The Turkish s jldiers
w ho guard the Loly relic during the
ceremonie are not mere figure
heads. That the members ot the
various Christian sects in the Etst
are not over friendly to each other
is well known, and the soldiers are
considered absolutely essential to
guard an outbreak of fanaticism.
The trouble !;ee in the- tt hat

Th, Hypnotists.
Metropolitan Hall waa filled to
overflowing last night. There
was scarcely standing room, and
not a man, woman or child could
be found in the entire audience
afterwards who was not charmed
and completely carried away by
the exhibition. The subjects furn
ished fun for the audience with
out assuming any objectional or
immodest attitude.
The performance was opened
with a short talk by Prof. Sylvan
A. Lcc. He said the only requi
site Id a subject was willingness.
No one can be hypnotized against
his will. If you are simply willing,
and think Intently about the sub
ject you are told to keep in mind,
you can be hypnotized.
An invitation was then given
for tubjecti to come on the stage.
Among the number who accepted
the offer were J. M. Uroughton,
J. A. Miller, W. E. Ponner, Stan
hope Wynne. J. J. Rogers, Robt.
Upchurch, llcnjamin Irby, Junius
Turner, Uenjamin Hardie, Jr,
Will Little, Will Huggins, Ben
jamin Perkins and a number ot
others, Mr. Lee, and his beauti
ful niece, Miss Alberta Leo, were
successful in more or less hyp
notizings.il of these except Messrs.
Broughton, Wynne, Turner and
Irby. Impression was made to a
greater or less extent on the
others. v
To mention the many marvel
ous and laughable things done
would require columns. The sub
jects were put to sleep, and told
that when they woke they would
be convulsed with laughter, and
some of the subjects almost went
into hysterics. A man who travels
with them was hypnotized and
thrown In the cateleptic state.
His head was placed tvn,the back
of one chair and his feet oh anoth
er, and Messrs. Rogers, Mills,
Wynne and I.ee sat upon his
body. Hat pins were driven into
the flesh of two men who accom
pany Mr. Lee, and they walked
through the audience letting each
spectator examine them. Bot,
perhaps, the most laughable
scenes were when some ol tne
subjects were told that the seat
of their chairs were red hot, that
a bee was down their back, th4
they were driving a fast horse,
that their nose waa bleeding, that
they were fishing and many amus
ing attitudes were assumed by
them.
At the close of the performance
John D. Wyatt, of Louisville,
Ky , was examined by a commit
tee of physicians and reporters,
and then put to sleep to remain
in this condition in the window of
Sherwood Higgs & Co, for 48
hours. His temperature was found
to be 99 and he weighed 151 1
pounds.
Mr. Lee announced that if jvr-
ties of 23 or more would be or
ga'nizeclitr the City he would come
and give them an exhibition free.
