about and what had happened.
"Well," he exclaimed, whimsically,
"if that doesn't beat anything I have

I will soon be seeing alligators and

?Ii6ter Keckwith rose, brushed hia
hair, donned his stylish far-trimmed
overcoat, and paused to take a final
look at his handsome countenance in
the handglass. He almost dropped it,
and au expression of horror and dis
may overspread his face. lie looked
a Eecond time, then a third, turned
tho glass over aid around, and ex
claimed: "Well, Tin bio wed!"
In the glass he beheld not himself
but his chamber in miniature. He
was dressing by gaslight. Just then
tho door opened, and i man. handed
him a letter. He glanced at the hand
writing, anl threw the note into the
tire umaad. Then he proceeded to
finish dressing. It was impossible for
Mister Bcckwith to put the handglass
on the table ; he held it with a terri
ble fascination.
"I must be mil," hi gasped, "to
see such things. That letter was from
Agnes, and I was a coward to destroy

When he looked into the mirror

He requested the money due him, and
then demanded it peremptorily. Air.
Bcckwith became furiou?, and struck
the man a blow which sent him reeling
down the steps andprono on the pave
ment. "That was my tailor asking for
something on account,'" mused Mister
Beckwith. "Poor fellow! I wonder
if this is a true presentiment that I
shall have to knock him do-vn."
Once more ha looked,
The tailor '
had vanished, and Mister Beckwith was
standing on the sidewalk confronted bv
an emaciated, pobrly-clad woman, evi-
whether she bUently in the last stages cf censump- 1

"Help me," he heard her say ;

Ha drew a roll of bills from his,
socket, flaunted it m the faca of the J
wretched woman, and then handed her j

'What a contemptible scoundrel!'
ejaculated Mister Beckwith, forgetting
for an instant that it was his own
image that he saw. "I'd zst my u5i
if I were as mean as that. Ifl should i
happen to meet that woman she shdl
have all the money sne wants, poor
thing !"
He was now enriged at the mirror
for disclosing buch shocking truths
about himself, but he still held it in a
firm clasp, a3 though completely sub
jected to its spell. Once mora he
looked into the mysterious depths of
the quicksilver, and his face suddenly I

He hurled the offending mirror to
the floor with all his force. There
was a loud crash of broken glass, and
"Mister Percy Beckwith awoke to dis
cover that he had npset and shattered
a richly decorated Japanese vase.
"That was a horrible nightmare,"
he said to himself a few minutes later.
Then he packed his portmanteau, left
the house, ani took the very next
train for Balston and his heart's
happiness.
Christmas in Colonial Times.
The Puritans were sorely tried by
tho way in which Christmas was ob
served in the colony in 1658, and at
the first General Court subsequently
held tho following law was passed:
"For preventing disorders arising
in several places within this jurisdic
tion by reason of some still observing
Buch festivals as were snperstitiously
kept in other countries, to the great
dishonor of God and offence of others,
it is therefore ordered by this court
and the authority thereof that whoso
ever shall be found observing any such
day as Christmas or the like, either
by forbearing of labor,' feasting or
any other way, upon, any such ac-
! count as aforesaid, every such person
so offending shall pay for every 6uch
offence five shillings as a fine to the
country."
The following from a letter from
Amos Lawrence to his son, "Willian K.
Lawrence, then at school in France,
shows tho beginning of the change of
sentiment. Its date is December 27,
1830:
"I suppose Christmas is observed
with great pomp in France. It is a
day which our Puritan forefathers, in
their separation from the Church of
England, endeavored to blot out from
the days of religious festivals; and
this because it wa3 observed with so
much pomp by the Romish Church.
In this, as well as in many other
things, they were as unreasonable as
lhush they had said they would not
because the Roman Catho-
lies do. I hope and trust the time is

detail only.
The day would hardly seem like
Christmas without the hanging of
Christm&3 erreens, and though a great
er variety is oere 1 in the way of dec
orations than formerly, those are still
most liked and used that bear out the
old practices and significance; and
chief among them are the mistletoe
and holly, whose very names carry
one back to the days of ancient Eag
lish cheer at Yuletide, with wassail
bowl, Yulo log and joyou3 merrymak
ing. The most favored mistletoe comes
from across seas, according to Har
per's Bazar, but some is sent from
Canada and the South, where, particu
larly in Texa., it grows in large
clumps on the live oak trees, always
to the latter's gradual destruction;
for, being a parasite, it saps the
oak's lile blood, flourishing luxuri
antly the while. It is not so
artistic in appeasance as its Eng
lish cousin, the leaves more com
monplace and the berries smaller and
poorer in quality, though more in
quantity. Strange to say, the Texas
mistletoe, like the prophet in his own
country, is not greatly prized at
home, and at few of the Christmas
festivities doe3 it make part of the
decoration, while in all other quarters
a cluster of the oddly shaped green
leaves and opaque whita berries must
almost of necessity be suspended in
the doorway or from the chajidelier
when Christmas comes in, audit never
fails to cause the same jesting and
merriment; for a kiss stolen under the
mistletoe is one's right, and tho pil
ferer cannot with justice receive re
buff. The English holly, too, is finer in
quality than that grown on American
shores; the leaves are a better green,
and the berries larger ; and before the
holiday season sets in great hampers
of it are shipped from the English
ports to delight American eyes and
hearts. An attractive manner of using
it is to tie big bunches with long satin
ribbon loops and ends, matching in
shade the hue of the berries, and place
them over pictures or mantelshelf, or
fasten against the wall, especially in
some picturesque nook or corner. Un
derneath the mantel, when there is no
fireplace, the space may be banked
with masses of the spiny leaves and
bright berries ; jars or vass3 may be
filled with them, while holly wreaths
and ropes are another form of decora
tion, very effective both in large and
small apartments.
Next to the mistletoe and holly the
laurel and ground pine are most fa
vored, the former's glossy leaves and
green berries suggestive of good cheer,
and always forming cn eilective back
ground when gay berries or mosses are
used in addition. The ground pine
coils easily and gra:efuliy into
wreaths, and is invaluable for twiring
about stair-ca3es or pillar?, or for
using in decoration on a large scale,
wtpa boughs of spruce, hemlock and
cedar are also much in vogue,
r.lants and shrubs, from the tall nalms
to the delicate maidenhair and silvery
fern. There are several varieties of

old quarrels are adjusted, anl feuds
are forgotten. A pretty symbol of the
spirit that reigns is the Yule night
practice of placing in a row every pair
of shoes in each household, typifying
that during the year tha family will
live together in peace and harmony.
Scandinavia is truly the land of the
Yule log, of Christmas stories and le
gends of Thor and Odin. Then is the
time for Ekatin, sledging, dancing,
and a general frolic. It is customary
for every member, of the family to
take a bath on the afternoon preced
ing Christmas, an 1 oftentimes it is the
only thorough bath that i received
during the year. When the eve comes
the Bible is read in nearly every house
hold and family service is held. In
many villages candles are left burning
in the windows all night to give light
to Kristine, who brings the gifts. It
is also the custom to set a cake of
meal out in the snow a3 a Christmas
offering. The birds of the air are
thought of, and a sheaf of wheat 13
placed on a pole in front o each house
to provide them with food.
On Christmas evening are the usual
games, and they are more than likely
to bo interrupted with a knock at the
door and the entrance of four or five
boys dressed in white. One carries a
colored star-shaped- lantern, and
another an ornamented glass box con
taining two do'ls, representing the
Virgin and the child. The boys'chant
a carol or two and after partaking of
refreshments are dismissed, to con
tinue their journey to the next house.
The games are likely to be interrupted
again by the coming of another band
of merrymakers. This time it 13
masked performers, wearing tattered
uniforms, decked with tinsel, and car
rying wooden swords. They perf orm
tricks and pantomime. These per
formances are always enjoyed, and
the performers never go away from a
house empty-handed. The festivities
do not close until a late hour.
Digestion Defies Jljpnolhm.
Saturday morning several Ann
Arbor medical students challenged
Santanelli, the hypnotist, to a peculiar
experiment. In his week's stay here
he has constantly claimed to be able
to control the digestive organs of his
subjects while they are under hi.s
hypnotic influence. This tho medics
doubted, and to this final trial they
challenged him. He accepted. One
of his men was taken to a restaurant
and given a full meal, after which he
was hypnotized, with directions not
to digest the food given him.
Twenty-four hours were allowed to
elapse, and last evening a doctor was
called and he was awakened. The at
tendants attempted to empty his
stomach with a stomach pump, but
were unable to do so. Then the pa
tient was given etrong emetics, but
nothing could be brought from his
stomach, indicating clearly that the
food had been duly digested. The
young medics are jubilant over the ap
parent success of their scheme. De

NORTH STATE
JO.
OCCCRltrXCES WOKTH NOTING
FROM ALL OVKR THE STATE.
"What Auditor Furmao Says.
The Raleigh News and Observer con
tains the following. "In a conversa
tion with Auditor Fnrmaa he noted
with pleasure that the 33 percent, fall
ing oif in the sale of fertilizer tags ar
gued a corresponding ability of the
farmers to do without the fertilizers.
The extraordinary increase in farm
products, the Auditor continued,
would point to the fact that the farmers
failed to buy fertilizers because they
did not need them, rather that because
they were not cble to buy them. It
shows, moreover, that there is less debt,
more income and that they are better
able to "live home" than heretofore.
Another indication, 6aid the Auditor,
of the improved condition of the peo
ple is the promptness with which the
sheriffs are settling their taxes in full.
There can be no doubt that the people
as a whole of the Old North State are
in better condition than they have
been since the war."
