The churches welcome th? day with
chimes which begin at midnight and
last until the mlduight of the next day.
What with one church begluniug ten
minutes too soon and another ten min
utes too late nud a third at the right
moment, what with bells which rlnjr
every fifteen minutes and bell ringers
who under some ancleut custom will
sound the great bells every half hour,
the air Is filled with music which never
seems to end.
If you ore 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 uearest belfry, where trees

and buildings break the sound waves,
or lu suburbs on the hillside the effect
is unsieakably delightful.
rieasantcst of all is It when you are
sitting !u the Inner court or quadran
gle of a Porto II lea u home. Around
you on four sides the bouse rises above
you, and in the grounds or In great
tubs aud porcelain pots rich flowers,
graceful vines aud restful trees afford
shade, color and perfume. The sound
of the bells descends from the air
above very much like a benediction.
You sit in an easy chair, and servant

sweetmeats aud biscuits, confections
and cigarettes, while a daughter or eon
plays ancient songs or dauces upon a

The churches are crowded; so are the
clubs aud most of the places of recrea
tion. Every vehicle Is iu use, and here
and there cau be seeu young men and
women trying to imitate English mod
els. Some of the people of the moun
tain districts carry out ninny 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 aud often
conduct marriage ceremonies under
great canopies inude of these charmed
trees.
A great many wild flowers are In
bloom at Christmnstide, and these are
worn by children of the mouutaln dis
tricts lu wreaths aud garlauds about
their heads, necks and waists. The
Christmas giving Is sadly missing la
our new possessions. The churches
hold no Christmas tree, and there are
few charitable societies to give feasts.
However, oue hospital for old people
aud orphans in Ponce gives a Christ
inas fete, and the iiimates have a good
meal and receive warm clothing, med
icines and other needful gifts.
The Aiuerlci.11 occupatiou has brought

When Shepherds Watched by Night.
Kim liiKLoritiiis contend that the
shepheids could uot have watched by
night ou the Uetuieueuj plains in De

clemeucy. Iu uuswer to this a well
kuowu student says: "IJethlehcm Is
