\ CHRIsTMAs HINT.-One of the
p!ettiest Christmas customs is the Nor
wegian practice of giving, on Christmas
day, dinner to the birds. Here it is:
"On Christmas morning every gable,
gateway, or barn-door is decorated with
a shesi of corn fixed on the top of u
tall pole. whcrcfrom it is intended that
the birds shall make their Christmas din
ner. Even the peasants Will contrive to
have handful set by for this purpose,
and what the birds do not eat on Christ
mas day remains for them to finish nj
their leisure during the winter"
But if the birds are to be fed, let no
human being go hungry.

Ever since the opening of the toy eX-
hibition, the large Assembly Hall has
been crowded and we are glad that Mr..
Neuhausen's enterprise proved to be IL
success. We visited the Bazaar. last
night and have to mention that we had
hard work to get into the store. Two
policemen were kept busy preserving
order among q large number of people
looking at Mr. Neuhausen's toys IN the
window, especially Mt the patent rope
walker, which is the best toy We ever
saw. We were talking to II number OF
buyers and the general opinion is, that
Mr.. Neuhausen has put better class Of
mixed candy and sugar toys in the mar
kct, and has larger variety of Christ
mas presents than was ever kept before
in this city. Mr.. Ncuhausen informed
us that he would receive to-day four
more cases of better class toys from $500
to SO apiece, which will be interesting to
look at for old and young folks.
