A posada is an iun, and the idea per vading these festivities is that story, known to all the world, of Caesar Au gustus, who, in the height of his pow er, wished to know the number of peo -1 pie who bowed beneath his scepter. 111 order to determine the fact he de creed that a census should be taken of all the nations composing the great Itomau empire. To effect this Augus tus sent twenty-four commissioners to the different parts of his world. The edict commanded that every person, rich or poor, weak or strong, should go to the place of his birth or to the orig inal place of his family to have his or her name inscribed in the Roman regis try. Joseph and Mary, who were both of the royal house of David, went to tha town of Bethlehem. They found It so full of people 011 the same mission that they wandered about the town for nine days seeking shelter. On the ninth day they were allowed to stay in the stable of a posada, and there the Nino Santo, or Holy Child, was born. The posadas are held for nine evening In commem oration of those weary days. Of course there are miserable homes where no sign of a posada Is held, bnt Mexicans, rich and poor, are generous. No matter how dirty and ragged, every one Is welcome In the churches, beauti fully decorated, and at the nightly po sadas held in them, though there the ponatas arc omitted, as the celebra tions Are entirely of a religious nature. To the children the penatas are very important features of the season. They THK BAIIK IS PLACED IN THE MANGER. represent men. women, goats and oth er animals, beautiful flowers, immense chrysanthemums, giant roses and peo nies, lovely dahlias, nuns, monks in full costume and graceful musical instru ments. Each figure contains an empty Jar or penata of pottery, which is hid den by the decorations or costumes of colored tissue paper, most skillfully applied. The jars are tilled with goodies and unbreakable toys. When friends have been invited to a posada the house is decorated with evergreens and mosses, flowers and tinsel In all the rooms and corridors. In one room Is the scene In the stable of Bethlehem the stable yard and servants, the animals, trees and plants, groups of Blblieal characters, little toy fountains. All that money can do to beautify the beginning of the "old, old slory" is done according to the taste and means of the host and hostess. The little manger, amid soft lights and draperies, stands ready for the Nino Ran to. A procession of the guests and family forms in another part of the house, and the pilgrims, or peregrinos, march two anil two. led by one who carries the Babe. Singing sweet hymns and the litanies, they go through the house, binding in and out of the rooms and galleries. At last the wanderers stop at the door of the room in which is the man ger.

I Anne Rolryn xt (he Block. Of the execution of Anne Roleyr ; Martin Hume, the author of"The | Wives of llenry VIII.," says: Anne herself knelt in a distraught | way, as if to pray, but really ga/.ed ! around her in mute appeal from 01 * 1 pitiless face to another. The head. man, taking compassion upon her, a i sured her that he would not strike mi ' til she gave the signal. "You will havt ! to take this coif off," said the poor wo j man.and one of the ladies who at ; tended her did so and partially boun. her eyes with a handkerchief, but AIM still imagined that her headdress w;; j in tlie way and kept her hand upon hei : hair, straining her eyes and ears t,> ward the steps, where from the head.-' i man's words she expected the sword t■ > j be handed to him. While she was thus i kneeling erect in suspense the sword I which was hidden In the straw behind i her was deftly seized by the French executioner, who, swinging the heavy | blade around, in au instant cut through | the erect, slender neck, and the head ol I Anne Boleyn Jerked from the shoulders j and roiled upon the cloth that covered I the platform. The Ciai'lhaldl. The Garibaldi are a very anelent Li j gurlan family. The llrst who used the i name would seem to have been Gari j bald, duke of Bavaria, A. D. 584. From him descended Grlmaldua, king of Loin j bardy, A. D. 073. His son was Gari : baldus. Then the name disappears, but it is early found among the nobles of Genoa, and at the Institution of the Liber Aureus, in 1528, its members are recorded as of the ancient nobility. ; From 1528 to 1751 the successive gen ; eraUorw of the Garibaldi are recorded In the "Libro d'Oro," and the last name but one there entered Is Joseph Gari baldi, born 1702, probably an ancestor j of the dictator. In 1085 Jeannetla Gar ibaldi was one of the four senators who accompanied the doge of Genoa to Ver sailles after Louis XIV. had nearly de stroyed Genova la Superba by bombs to apologize to the ruthless tyrant.— Notes and Queries. t'ndfr Many Flours. Possibly no possession has changed nationality so frequently as the island of Santa Cruz, In the Danish West In dies. Originally the land belonged to ! Spain, and it was taken from Spain to be under the joint rule of England and Holland. After awhile the flag of Hi! land was taken down, anil the English flas? alone floated, only to give way to Spain again. The Knights of Malta were the next possessors, and from them it. passed to a company of adven turers. who ltisi it to France, which sold to a Danish company, the laud finally 'coining into the possession of the Danish government. England again took possession in 1801, and eight year later it passed to thi* 1 lanisli government again. Eventually it will probably be come a part of the United States, two bargains having been arranged, but never completed. Cosrjr's Army. Coxey's army started from Coxcy's home in eastern Ohio in the spring of 1894 to carry, as Ooxoy said, a "peti tion In boots" to congress for relief from the hard times then prevailing. On arriving at Washington it was de nied aeeess to congress, and those of the pilgrims who disregarded the order 1 to "keep off the grass" of the eapltol grounds were sent to jail. Coxey hini ( self was condemned to a term in jail. The "army" at last crossed the Poto mac and settled down in a sort of hobo camp ou tlie Virginia side. There it was allowed to remain for several months until complaints from Wash ington induced the governor of Vir ! ginia to break up the camp and dls j perse the campers. Odd Marriage Ceremony. Polynesia is probably the only place j in the world where the marriage feast | takes place without the presence of the ! bridegroom. For some unexplained reason the young man is "sent into the | bush" when negotiations are opened J with the family of his bride, and here- I mains there during the subsequent fes | tlvltles. It is only when the guests | have departed and the girl Is left alone I with his parents that messengers are j dispatched for him. A Scotch "nail."

Difference and Distinction. aost people are afraid to be differ 1 ent. Some people are different for the i express purpose of showing that ibey I ar" not afraid.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an nflamed condition of the mucous lin ng of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbl ing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out often are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any caße of Deafness caused by catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. P. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.
