Increase in Gold Production
The annual production of gold has
doubled twice in twenty year*. Be
cause of the rapidly in' casing supply
of mon *tary gold it* value is rapidly
depreciating. This is seen—and can
be seen in no other way -by the ad
vancing price of thing* for which gold
i* exchanged. The average price of
conarn »litie* i* now fa’dy *>o per cent
highn* than it was ten years ago.

Turkey for . % * y body
Everybody In town had Christina*
turkey. 'The bachelors were nearly
all invited to **>melKxly'* hou*e and
the big annual feed at the Northern
saloon took in almost the entire male
population. Before tin* show began
John E. Thwaites took a Ha*h light
photograph of the festal board with
the smiling face of the youthful Col.
Butts behind and the carving cutlery
in bis hands. Then the colonel made
a brief speech inviting the gue*ts to
fall to. Some of them fell on the
viands oftener than that. But what
made the old-timers smile was to think
of Eu and Oraer missing the feed be
cause they went to Cordova.
Toy Manufacturing in Germany
The manufacture of toys is one of J
Germany's greatest industries. Many
toys sold in this country are made in
Germany. The little town of Sonne- j
berg, a few hours ride from Berlin in
the Turingian hills, produces 45 pe;
cent of all the toys going to the Uuited
States. In that town there is one
family consisting of a great-grand- J
mother, a great-grandfather, a son
*nd a sister: the grandmother being 1*0
Z years old and the grandfather 1)5. The ;
grandmother has been sitting in one;
Aroom engaged in the same work everj
pP^ince she was a girl of 0 years. This
family < f live, the father of which has
worked well-nigh a century, produces
everv week from 250 to 300 lambkins
*
netting them 12 cents a dozen.
“Things are not as they used to he,”
said tlie man of melancholy reminis
cences. "No," answered V \ Dustin
Stax regretfully. “The time was
when great wealth would gel a man
out of trouble. Now it gets him into
it.

The Christmas Festival
The Christmas festival was not arbi
trarily appointed for December 2.>.
Neither is it at all probable that the
child Jesus, whose birth it commemo
rates, was born in December, nor t hat j
tHe shepherds were watching their
i flocks by r ight during the rainy sea
son in the land of Judea.
The most potent causes for fixing
the date of this festival in December j
j come from heathen sources. Many!
of the heathen nations regarded the
winter solstice u> a most important
point of the year, as tin* beginning of
tin* renewed life and activities of na
ture. This U especially true of tin*
S peoples living in tin* far Northland
; where they look with longing eyes
' after the sun as lie draws farther and
farther awa\ into tin* »outh, a ml hail
with delight the beginning* of bis re
