CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO A RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL CHRISTMAS celebrations in Mexico differ greatly from ours and usual ly last for several days. Bright lanterns suspended In the air proclaim the glad tidings of the holidays, and eVery Mextcan Jacal. no matter how bumble, puts out its beacon to light the steps of the Saviour should he per- cuanee :;:, :r Th" story f the birth 1...- i --illy p.-:-: j .. LoliC 'S'K .1 !..' -t rant can readily unJerstand. The performance is given by fifteen plajera, consisting of Joseph and Mar and the Infant Jesus, two archangels, Lucifer and three of his minions and a number of shepherds. The costumes are adapted to the Mexican conception of the characters and are novel in the titreme All of the costumes are got up tastefully, and. while a strict con forma nee with the requirements of the first century might rob Joseph of his sombrero, still it Is doubtful if the lesson which It ia desired to Instill In the iiiimls of the people would be as effective if all the minor details of the early Jewish fashions were followed. The scene of the play opens near Bethlehem, where the shepherds are tending their Hocks, by a host of angels appearing unci telling them of the birth of the Suvlour and inviting them to fol low to where he lies. They follow the star which leads them to the stable. In the manger of which the Infant rests in the arms of Mary and Joseph. While rejoicing. Lucifer, armed with two swords, appears and attempts to de stroy the child Jesus, but is repulsed by two angels, who keep wntch over him Not to be outdone. Lucifer sum mons three arcbdemous, who fight with the angels for the course of half ID hour, resulting In the final overthrow of the evil one and bis emissaries and the placing of the feet of the angels upon their necks Then the shepherds break out Into rejoicing, and. while a portion of them sing the praises of the Redeemer who Is horn unto them, others chant In a harmonious strain the goodness and mercy of f!od This feature, accompa nied by music on the harp and violin. Is kept up until a late hour each nlgbt until the holidays are over. One must understand the Mexican people and their devoutness and. In tense religions feeling to fully appre tlate how strongly the presentation of the shepherds affects their minds. HOW TO SPEND CHRISTMAS. Forget Yourself For the Day and Try to Make Other Happy.

" " ' " ' ly you are going to make It an occasion for more than usual re joicing this year, a real old fash ioned Christmas. Surely you are going to be more liberal In spirit than ever before and scatter mer riment on all sides. Hare you been a little selfish, have you de voted so much time to enjoying yourself tbat you have forgotten other folks? Those you have forgotten are good folks, aren't they, the best folks In the world? And you are Just going to show tbem bow ap preciative you are. Too don't like this modern way of turning dear old Christmas Into an occa sion for trading and exchanging gifts.

In order that the recipients could not complain of having received a cheap present this fad developed and was popular In English society circles soon after the discovery of the metal. To give radium In this way costs from $10 to $."0. the outfit necessary there for consisting of a splnthoriscope and a tiny speck of the new metal hardly big enough to be seen with the naked eye.

The Chr.atuius turkey has displaced the famous roasted peacock as the most desirable dish for the Yuletide dinner. Two or three hundred years ago. In Merry England, each family' sought to obtain the largest peacock for the Christmas dinner. A boar's head wis another popular dish In those days. The table was usually decorafr- ' ed with the brightest plumage of the ' peacock. Plnm podding and rolnce pie are mi nor but necessary accompaniments ot .
