China Paints Itself Red.
The Chin ee paint the whole country
red,. ..figuratively speaking, on New
Year in more senses than one. Red is
the color with them .which denotes
good luck and prosperity, and all the
New Tear cards and invitations arc on
paper of that color. Every child gets
Its New Year present wrapped In red
paper, and red Inscriptions are pasted
over the doors of the houses. These
inscriptions bear characters prnylm
for good fortune, wealth and happi
ness, and they are posted on each side
of the outer doors of the bouses. New
pictures of Chinese generals are put
on the front doors; the bouses are
scoured aud made clean. Among other
thtn-s. ojtts nre dyed red and nre of
fered to the gods, Dinner parties an
got up In brltfht vermfllnn. The red
used is that which you find around our
firecrackers, and, as for them, the Chi
nese spend more In firecrackers on
New Year than we do on the Fourth of
July. Philadelphia Press.

Fortune For Toys For the Poor.
The poor children of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure of an estate valued at
5-11,000. left by the late George B.
Nutt. The will provides that the es
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally . I f the
children oil die before their mother, at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase of gifts and playthings
for poor children, esiieciully those In
institutions. It was the wish of the
decedent tliat the money be expended
In small sums, to distribute It over os
large an area as possible and benefit
as many children as possible.
Origin of the Christmas Tree.
There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple im
mediately the leavra of the tree shriv
eled into needle points and Its bright
green turned dark. It changed Its na
ture and became the evergreen, In all
seasons preaching the story of man's
fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom
brightly with lights and become beau
tiful with love gifts. The curse Is turn
ed Into a blessing nt the coming of
the Christ Child, and we . have our
Christmas tree.
