odd Election sTgns.
The Signs Are In Washington, the
Elections Elsewhere.
"Of course we don't have any elec
tions of our own," said a man from
Washington, "but we have election In
timations, If 1 may call them that,
which can't bo duplicated anywhere
else In the country.
"You soe, when we Washlngtonians
want to vote we've got to do It sonic
\ where else, and as most of us have u
| lingering fondness for the franchise
|we are pretty likely to hang onto a
I residence somewhere outside the Dis
trict.
"We especially like to do it because
it makes us feel as if we had some
sort of weapon to flourish before the
observing eyes of the politicians who
may have something to say about our
hold on our jobs, and when the time
comes togo home to vote we visibly
swell with importance.
"Naturally a national election is the
one that catches us all at once, and it
is then that the intimations I spoke of
do most abound. The papers are full
I of advertisements of loans for election
[ expenses. Department clerks can he
j accommodated with sums covering
j their railway fare, new clothes for
i the trip and a substantial margin over
and above necessary Items. The inter
i est Is a bit high, but a clerk who is
pining togo back home to splurge a
| bit is willing to mortgage his re
! sources for the pleasure.
"These offers of loans fill columns
of the daily papers. Alongside of them
are other advertisements, all turning
ion the one theme, the election. 'Buy
yourself a new suit togo home and
S vote in!* The grammar is a bit off.
i but the prices are asserted to be all
I right.
"In the shop windows there are doz
; ens of election placards: 'Just the hat
i to wear when you go home to vote,'
! 'Specials in suit cases for the election,'
'Take a souvenir hatpin to your best
; girl when you go home to vote,'
'Swell suit for the election, only $1 a
! week,' and in a shoe store window,
'Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are
marching—home to vote; wear 's
shoes and you won't get sore feet!'
"The railways offer special rates to
voters, and so it goes. You won't find
anything like it in any other town."—

Curious Laws In India.
Some of the old laws of Nepal, In
dia, were curious. Killing cows ranked
with murder as a capital offense, for
instance. Every girl at birth was
married with great ceremony to a
betel fruit, which was then cast into a
sacred stream. As the fate of the
fruit was uncertain, the girl was sup
posed never to become a widow. To
obtain divorce from a husband a wife
had only to place a betel nut under bis
pillow and depart. In Nepal the day is
considered to begin when it Is light
enough to count the tiles on the roof
or distinguish the hairs on a man's
band against the sky.

Thi' diuretics welcome th • day with

What with one church beginning ten
minutes too soon and another ten min
utes too late and a third at the right
moment, what with bells which ring
every fifteen minutes and bell ringers
who under some ancient custom will
sound the great bells every half hour,
the air is filled with music which never
seems to end.
If you are near a campanile the ef
fect is not altogether pleasant on ac
count of the volume of sound striking
the ear with too much force, but in a
public square several hundred yards
from the nearest belfry, where frees
A JjALUUTi.I: N T.4.K GOITAK.
and buildings break the sound waves,
or in suburbs 011 the hillside the effect
is unspeakably delightful.
Pleasantest of all is it when you are
sitting in the inner court or quadran
gle of a Porto Iticnii home. Around
you on four sides the house rises above
you, and in the grounds or in great
tubs and porcelain pots rich flowers,
graceful vines and restful trees afford
shade, color and perfume. The sound
of the hells descends from the air
above very much like a benediction.
You sit in an easy chair, and servants
bring you tea or steaming coffee,
sweetmeats aud biscuits, confections
and cigarettes, while a daughter or son
plays ancient songs or dances upon a
mandolin or guitar.
The churches are crowded; so are the
clubs and most of the places of recrea
tion. Every vehicle is in use, and here
and there can be seen young men and
women trying to imitate English mod
els. Some of the people of the moun
tain districts carry out many of their
early superstitions in regard to Christ
mas. They hang over the doors of
their houses boughs of trees which are
supposed to possess charms and often
conduct marriage ceremonies under
great canopies made of these charmed
trees.
A great many wild flowers are in
bloom at Chrlstmastide, and these are
worn by children of the mountain dis
tricts in wreaths and garlands about
their heads, necks and waists. The
Christmas giving is sadly missing in
our new possessions. The churches
hold no Christmas tree, and there are
few charitable societies to give feasts.
However, one hospital for old people
and orphans in Ponce gives a Christ
mas fete, aud the inmates have a good
meal and receive warm clothing, med
icines and other needful gifts.
The American occupation has brought
extra Christmas cheer to the people of
the island. The American residents
celebrate the day in good American
fashion, and, best of all, they put
money Into circulation and give zest to
Industry and business.
When Shepherds Watched by Night.
Some historians contend that the
shepherds could not have watched by
night ou the liethlehem plains In De
cember, it being a period of great in
clemency. In answer to this a well
known student says: "Bethlehem Is
not a cold region. The mercury usual
ly stands all the month of December
at 40 degrees. Corn is sown during
this tluie, and grass and herbs spring
up after the rains, so that the Arabs
4rive their flocks down from the moun
tains into the plains. The most deli
cate never make fires till about the
end of November, and some pass the
whole winter without them. From
these facts I think it is established
without doubt that our Saviour was
born on the 25th day of December, the
day which the church throughout the
world has united to celebrate In honor
of Christ's coming In the flesh."—Wash

'Twm the night before Christmas, when

The poem was written by a very
learned man, Dr. Clement Clarke

In 1863.—New York Globe.
