Tho fonlival of ChriHtmns i rogfiuleil
ft tbo tfrratfnt celebration throughout
the yoir, and though at tho present day
it is pomewlmt Miorn ol its anennt Rlo
rio, and devoid of tho boisterous jollity
which characterized it in tho time of
"pood Queen IJeRf," when tho logs
flatnod and roared nnd mirth reigned
supremo, it is still the holiday in which
rU classes moRt participate. Separated,
as many families are, daring the year,
they nil make it a point to meet to
gether around tho hearth, to wish each
other a " Merry Christmas," which was
tho eld English greeting shouted from
window to street, and from street back
to window, in tho "long, lonor ago."
Tho Christ-child, with his gifts and
masked attendant, belong to the German
antiquity. Frugal housewives, shaking
tho crnmbs from tho tablo-cloth around
tho roots of their fruit trees, in order
that they become moro fruitful,
clearly points to the mysterious influ
ence attributed by the ancient Germans
. to tho time of tho Twelve Nights.
In Bohemia the fruit trees for tho
same reason are violently shaken during
the time of midnight mass.
In other localities a corn cake and
some hot cider is offered to the largest
apple tree, as the king of the orchard,
while those who take part in tho cere
1 mony join in singing:
"Dear good apples ami peara i-uoug'
Barus full, baga full, wicks full 1
Hurrah I hurrah ! hurrah 1"
Yule-log and yule-candle belong to
tho ssmo order. Tho mistletoe was re
garded by the Druids as sacred, and its
berries, as symbolio of purity, were as
sociated wit h tho rites of marriage. The
game in which tho mislletoe formed a
particular feature was among the most
amusing of tho festivities, and is still i
in voguo in some parts of England.
ino Christmas tree is doubtless of
Gorman origin. They conceived of the
world as a great tree whose roots were
hidden deep under the earth, bnt whose
top flourished in Walhalla, the old Ger
man paradise. This tree was first fitted
up during tho Twelve Nights, in honor
of Bechta, goddess of spring; it was
subsequently transferred to the birth
day of Christ, who, as tho God-man, is
the "resurrection and the life." The
evergreen tree and emblem of spring
time became the symbol of an eternal
spring. The burning lights were to
adumbrate Ilim who is the " Light of
the "World," and the gifts to remind tjr,
in giving His only Son for tho world's
redemption, He gave us tho most
priceless of all gifts. Such was its ori
gin. Now the Christmas tree is not
only to bo found throughout Germany,
but has taken root from the Alps to the
Ural, from the Kiolen to tho Appen
nines, alike on the banks of the Neva
and the Po, the Mississippi and the
Thames; in truth, wherever German
civilization has penetrated
In England Christmas is scarcely tho
shadow of its former merry self, when
all classes or society indulged in tho ,
most unrestrained joviality and merri
ment. . Tho wassail bowl, warm ale
with apples floating therein, that once
played so conspicuous a part at the
Christmas banquet, are now obsolete.
Even the singing of carols, which was
once so popular even at court, is now
confined principally to the lower classes;
while the yule-block, or Christmas log,
is being gradaally supplanted by the
ChriHtmas tree, whose introduction into
England is comparatively of recent
dam. Generous rations of beef are
distributed to the parish poor by the
rich of England. Christmas bells ring
out their silvery chimes on the crisp
morning air, joyfully and cheerfully.
Nor is there wanting a spicy flavor to
tho feasts and frolics, to Bay nothing of
tho roast beef and plum pudding, while
tho boar's head, decorated with rose
mary or holly, is served up in great
state at the royal Christmas table.
On ChriHtmas day in 8uabia, maidens
inquisitive as to their prospective lovers
draw a stick of wood out of a heap to
whether he will be long or short,
crooked or straight. If they wish to ascer
tain which of them will first become a
wi e they form a circle and place therein
a blind-folded gander, snd the one to
whom he goes iirst will soon bo a bride.
Among many others a favoiite method
of forecasting tho future is to sit upon
tho floor and throw one's shoes with
the foot over the shoulder, and then to
predict from the position it takes what
is about to transpire.
IOne of tho principal features of the
holiday in Italy is the Christmas din
ner, which begins early and lasts late.
The rich feast right royallj, and the
poor, who can afford meat but once a
yeur, must keep it for the Christmas
dinner. In anticipation of this, it is
usual for every one who has done you
a service during the year to call upon
you in advance of th6 day for their
buoitacsta. It is a generalization of
what is truo of our newspaper carriers
of the United States, hence the origin
or the carriers address on Jew Year s
day.
The day is observed in Spain very
much as it is in Italy, the Christmas
dinner playing a very conspicuous part.
In Ilusbia, although St. Nicholas is a
special favorite, and they have tho
Christmas tree and the services in the
churches, all special ceremonies are re
served for the Easter holidays and
Epiphany,
in Lapland and Norway a cake is set
out in the snow as an offering, which
was probably intended, originally, to
propitiate some pagen divinity, as it
(Uti'S tmcK to tno time of. ihor.
Though New Year's is generally ob
served in France rather than Christ
mas, for the distribution of presents,
it is the Jesus bambin who comes with
a convoy of angels loaded with books
arid toys to nil expectant little shoos
which tiny hands placed so near tho
chimney.
In Sweden Yale-time is the gayest
station of the year. It begins on Christ
mas kuJ continues till Epiphany, and
is given up to dancing, fta6ting and
r, r.i-rv-rmikincr. No heavy work is done
nn'niz that time. In the rural districts

jemembers it is Christmas. Presents
are made in families. Christmas carols
aro snng at early morn; tho children go
from house to house wishing each other
a " Merry Christ..; as." Then there are
the games and Christmas parties, to say
nothing of the family dinners, and
probably few who call themselves Chris

commemorates. Detroit Fret 2Ve.
Coin.
Coin is presumed to bo from the Latin
cuveus, a die or stamp, and itsf If really
is a piece of metal converted into money
by a legal stamp. There is a tradition
that Pheldon, king of Argos, first issued
stamped silver about 746 B. C. The
earliest coins struck, both in Asia Minor
ond in Greece, were stamped upon one
Bide only. The first coin in England
was made by tho Bomans earlyin tho
first century. The shape varied
square, round, oblong until the mid
dle nges, when round coin was adopted
by all tho European nations. Gold
coins were first issued in Franco by
Clovis A. D. 489. About the same time
they were issued in Spain by Amalric,
the Gothio king. In both countries
they were called tricnties. The first
American coinage was by tho Virginia
company in 1612. The flrstmoney act
ually coined hercwas in Massachusetts.
in 1G52. Thirty-three years later Con-
necicut and Vermont made copper coin.
and three years after them New Jersey
also made ooppor coin.
(Joins ere among the most certain
evidences of history. In the latter part
oi tno ureeK series they illustrate the
chronology of reigns. In the Roma
series they fix the dates and sucoessi
of events. Gibbon observes that if al
our historians were lost, medals, in
scriptions and other monuments would
be sufficient to record the travels of
Hadrian. The reign of Probus might
be written from his coins.
Another word belonging to this class
comes from the Roman coin issued by
Scrvius Tultius, and bore the image o'f
a sheep pecus), and was thenco called
pecunia, tho term subsequently applied
to money in general. Some coins have
derived their names from their weight
as, for instance, the British pound,
the French livre, tho Italian lira; some
from the metal itself, as the cutrcus,
the rxipe.fi, from tho Sanscrit "rupia,"
silver. Other coins have got their
names from the design, as the American
eagle, tho nngel, testoon (from testa, a
head.) Others from tho head of the
Btate, as the sovereign, tho crown ; and
others from the monarch's proper name,
as the darie (from Darius) the Phillip,
Louis d' or, ' or the Napoleon. Then,
again, some coins have got their names
irom places. The florin, which has
different values in Holland, Bavaria
England and Austria, is so called be,
cause it was first coined in Florence.
The French franc took its name from
the first syllable of the inscription
francorum rtx, king of the French. The
sou, which circulates m France as the
cent, does in the United States, is from
the ljatin " Rohdm," which was the name
of a golden coin issued by some of the
Romon emperors.
Ihe guinea derived its name from the
coast of Guinea, in Africa, from which
was brought the gold from which it was
coined, first in the year 1GC4. They
were called in and succeeded by the
sovereign in 1817. The English
pound was originally a pound of
silver, which was divided into 240
pennies, by the Saxons. The shilling
has been assigned a great many deriva
tions. Tho most plausible refers it
back to the German "schill" or shield,
eo that shielding, finally reduced to
shilling, would indicate a coin on which
the prince's shield is stamped.
Ihe penny is a coin of a vast antiqui
ty. Its familiar sh?.po, as may be
generally known, is a comparatively
modern alteration of the silver form in
which it was known in ancient times.
The American cent began to make its
appearance from the mint in 1792, and
was prepared by Robert Morris, the
great financier of the Revolution. The
dollar or thaler is said to been first struck
in the dale or vulley of Joachim, in
Bohemia, in tho sixteenth century.
The first coinage in this country com
menced in 1794. This silver coin cir
culates in Spain, Germany, Holland
and Mexico. Troy Times.
Test for Water.
A simple test is to cork up a small
bnttlo nearly full of it, in which a piece
of lump sugar has been put. If by
thus excluding the air and lettine it
stand in tho light for two or three days
there ii not a milky cloud 6een, but the
water remains clear, it may bo consid
ered free from the phosphates with
which sewage water is impregnated.
To ascertain if water contains iron, take
a glass of water and add to it a few
drops of tho infusion of nutgalls, or
suspend a nutgall in it by means of a
thread for twenty-four hours. If iron
be present, the water will become of a
dark-brown or black color. Prussiate
of potash is a still more delicate test
for detecting iron. If a crystal, or a
drop of it, when dissolved, be added to
a glass of water containing iron, it will
immediately become of a bluo color.
To ascertain if water contains magne
sia, take a quantity of the water, and
boil down to a twentieth part of its
bulk; then drop a few strains of car
bonate of ammonia into a small glass
oi water, jno magnesia will yet be pre
cipitated; but on adding a small quan
tity of phosphate of soda, if any magne
sia bo present it will then make its ap-
pearanoe and fall to the bottom of the
glass. In this experiment it is neces
sary that the carbonate of ammonia be
in a neutral state.

Variations in a Man's Height.
A contributor to the German Militar
Wocheblatt who Las been lately em
ployed in mustering and examining the
recruits dratted this year into the Ger
man army has established, by a long
series of careful measurements, not
only that the height of a man varies
very considerably at different times of
the day, but also that this variation
takes place with great regularity in
every individual man . The amount of
this vaiiation in height is, however, not
the same in all men, but depends on
the size and ago of each individual, a
tall man losing more in height than a
shorter one, and a young man more than
an older one assuming that in all cases
the mn are fully grown. In the
came man the amount of variation in
height depends mainly upon the number
of hours he has been standing or sitting
since rising from his bed. Vhile lying
down the height of a man increar-es;
while standing or sitting it decreases;
and therefore under normal conditions
a man is taller in the morning than in
the evening, while to some slight extent
extremely fatiguing exercise or work
causes additional decrease of stature.
The greatest difference in height in a
day hitherto observed in any man
is four centimeters, or a trifle more
than one and one-half inches; while
the contributor of a paper to the
Militar-Wochenblatt has found, as the
result of a number of carefnl meas
urements of himself, that while every
morning he measures immediately on ris
ing exactly 172 centimeters, or five feet
eight inches, his height at night varies
171 to 170 1-4 centimeters, or from five
feet seven and one-half inches to five
feet seven and one qurrter inches. The
spine of a man, in fact, consists of
twenty-four separate vertebra, between
evtry two of which there is an elastic
cartilage, and these cartilaginous di
visions become compressed by the
weight pressing upon them when a man
is standing or sitting.
The attention of the government has
been called to the fact that Adelina
Patti s tour through the country v.ill be
a costly star route.
What Ihe IMrrclor Maid.
A Boeton reporter, while iu the offlco of tho
Kuw Yurk and liubtun Despatch Express Com
pany, had a conversation with Mr. B. I'.Larabee,
one of the directors of the company, who gave
the following personal experience: A little over
a year ago I was taken sick. I did not know what
the troublo was, but 1 continued to grow worse,
and my complaint baffled the tkill of my doc
tort. At last niy symptoms developed into
that terrible complaint, blight's disease, which
has been pronounced incurable by all physi
cians. My sufferings at that time were un
speakable. I was bloated from head to foot;
my heart pained mo; my pulse waa irregular,
and 1 was unable to breathe except in short,
convulsive gasps. While suffering thus I
learned of Warner's Hafe Kidney and Liver
Cure, and although I had been given up to die
by the prominent physicians of Boston, and
they had told lay friends I could not live a
week, I resolved to try this remedy as a last re
eoi t. I am rejoiced to say it has effected a per
fect euro in my case, aud with many of my
friends, who have been afflicted with kidney
troubles, either of long Btauding or in their
acute forms, aud who, under my advico, have
used this most wonderful remedy."
