ON THURSDAY.

As Christmas day comes this year upol Thuriday, the following quotation from al ancient MSS. iu the British Museum Ii pertinent for publication at the outset O winter as prophecy of coming events tn, approaching year:
 If Xmas day on Thursday be,
 windy winter ye shall see;
 Windy weather in each week.
 And hard tempests, strong andthick; The summer shall be good aud dry Corn and beasts shall multiply;
 That year is good for lands to till Kings and Prime, sshall die by skill: If child born that day shall be,
 It shall happen right we'll for be;
 Of deeds he shall be good and stable Wise of speech and reasonable.
 Whoso that day goes thieving about, He shall be punished without doubt; And if sickness that day betide,
 It shall quickly from thee glide.

CHRISTMAS STORY BY T. W. ROBINSON

He Was Kind to HIS Mother.

Red Lenner, who was recently killed
near Cherry Greek by the fall of horse,
was wild and reckless "sport" and
lived in the mountains for a number OF
years, but he never forgot his old mother
back in the states; and after selling his
mining property down at Silver Reef ior
some $55, 600 or $50, 900, he took trip
home, purchased his mother a nice and
comfortable homestead, and gave her
nearly SAC, 600 to keep her from want IN
her old age, then returned to the wild
mountain home with light heart
knowing that his mother was well pro-
vided for the balance of her days on this
earth.-Pi9che fMe.) Rtcord.

The Princess Pillar.

The poor Queen of Spain is said to be
utterly heart-broken over the death of
the Princess Pillar. If remember rightly
this is the first child she has lost. at least
on its attaining the age of womanhood
or manhood. And whatever Isabella's
faults may be-and they are many-she
has always acted towards her children rs
fond and devoted mother. The three
younger princesses-Pilar, Eulalie and
Paz used to form pretty group some
nine years ago when they drove out
with their mother in her open landau,
all three occupying the front seat They
were fragile little creatures then, with
big black eyes and pale complexions,
always dressed alike and usually wearing
white dresses with broad white sashes
and white ribbons on their hats. The
Princess Pillar was the prettiest of the
three. She had lovely Spanish eyes, pale,
delicate complexion, and beautiful silky
black hair. At her brothers wedding
festivals she showed to peculiar disad-
vantage, she and her sisters being
dressed all alike in pale apple-green silks,
looped with pink roses. A tint more
unbecoming to the pale, dark skins Of
the young princesses could hardly have
been selected. Naturally the elder girl
suffered the most from the selection.
Worth made the dresses, but the royal
mother of the young ladies prescribed
the color of which they were made

Japan, l am told, the number of gin

are persons belonging to the nobility
(samuary), whom poverty had reduced
to this industry. Palanquins, which
were formerly used, are not now seen.
The government has monopoly of the

spent for the invention and improvement
of the lightest carriage. Happily for
the ginrickshas, the streets of the Jap.

there are two, and in rare cases whole

Alpine Adventures.

The death of Mr.. Mosely while de-

An interest in Alpine accident and ad-

Gampert, of Ottenbach, with the guide
Vincenz Bissig and Herr Gisler, of the
Klausen Inn, had made the ascent of
the Scherrhorns. As they were return
ing, Gisler, who was acting as porter and
had on his back load weighing seventy
pounds, made false step and slipped.
He thereupon, against the desire of his
companions, united the rope by which
they were attached, saying he might slip
again, and he WAS determined to endan-
ger no other life but his own. They
were then on steep slope. Shortly
afterward Gisler did slip again, and,
losing his footing, shot with frightful
velocity in the direction of a crevasse
forty feet deep and six feet wide. As he
neared the brink, however, Gisler, who
is man of powerful frame and great
presence of mind, contrived to spring to
his feet, and clearing the crevasse at a
bound, alighted unhurt on the other
side, where, the slope being less steep, he
was able TO keep his footing. He joined
the others lower down the mountain,
and all arrived safely in the evening at
the Klausep Inn,

In packing apples for market, a COM

fruit compactly into the barrels. The

and then, when it is handled, it bruises.

poor packing in Chicago, last week, in
apples of the same variety picked from
adjoining orchards. One commanded

10,602 sheep have been killed by dogs.
The number of dogs in thirty-two coun-

thrive on the food necessary to support
an able-bodied dog, and at the end of the

TWO LEAVES.
BY MATTE L. ROBERTS

A crimson leaf and golden leaf
With sunlight all aglow,
pritted away from the parent stem
To the untried-realme below.
A light wind caught the golden leaf
And carried il out to sea;
ut the crimson leaf lay safe and warm
Beneath the mother tree.
Softly the silver dews came down
When the rose tints left the sky,
And the evening stars smiled down on them
With tender, watchful eye.
Then the morning sunlight kissed awake
The leaf beneath the tree,
And lightly touched the golden fake
Adrift upon the sea.
The cold waves tossed the tender thing
To and fro on its bresst
And dashed 1t sgainst the sharp shore rocks
And would not let II rest,
Then 1t sighed, "Ah me for me quiet home,
From pitiless waters freel'
And the crimson leaf in its sheltered nook;
Cried, "Oh, for the sunny seal"
1t longed to wander away, away,
Over the waters wide;
But instead of the ocean spray, for her,
Was the dew of the eventide.
So the days slipped by with beauty and bloom
Scattered on every hand;
But the crimson leaf saw only the sea,
And the golden leaf the land.
Hearts, like the leaves, unsatisfi ed,
Yearn for that which is not,
And In their pain and bitterness
Cry out against their lot,
Nor dream that in their daily path
Gods choicest blessings lie;
So, longing for days that never come,
Their wasted years slip by.

of twenty men who drove around in a

They entered the house of an old milk

pistol secured $3.50. They went to the gro
Gerry and saloon of Charles Falksdorf, after
he had closed for the night. He refusing
to open, they broke in the window and
fired TWO shots, one of which passed through

Thinking him dead they left and were
next heard from at the saloon of Patrick
Caldwell, which they broke into. helping
themselves to whisky and the contents of
the till. They fired four shots at Caldwell,
one of which took effect in his chest and
will probably prove fatal. The murderous
gang is unknown,
