Santa Claus the ely old fellow,
Makes his after-Christmas trips
I've been told he has discovered
Many things that cau,e him pain,
Discomfort and hateful envy
thoughtful love bestowed In vain.
He has seen his choicest presents
Torn and brok, N and defaced;

Frowns on willful, wiched waste.

Asa chiid could wish to bold.
Iohnny's horse was Kicked and battered,

Two live horses and sleigh
Katy wished her doll wss larger;
Wished its eyes were black, not blue;
Finally grew vexed and threw it

Then he peered In dismal places,
Where he was not wont to go;
Where the hungry, shiveriug children
Never any Christms know.
And his heart was sad and sorry

And he thought In g,iei and anger

Cost OF the Beautiful Snow.

The two great trunk railroad lines go>

railroad and the New York Central
earn between them, at q rough estimate,
nine hundred thousand dollars week. or
one hundred and tventy>nine thousand
dollars day. For several days already,
owing TO the late snow storm and the
one that preceded it, through traffic has
been entirely blocked both on the trunk
lines and on the local lines that center at
Buffalo and neighboriDg cities. 1t
would, of course, be an exaggeration to
speak of the foregoing amount of trffic
as lost Only a fraction OF it has been
a RAJ loss. and only psrt OF that frac-
ton falls upon the railroads. But count
ing up consequential damages the ex-
penses of delayed passengers, the delay
to the business Of individuals, the cost
of storage, the outlay for clearing trs cks
and the injuries to rolling stock and we
shall find that the individual aud cor
porate damages caused by the great
snow storm amounts TO an immense total

Gas.llght Bu0ys.
lall Hall Gazette.

That the buoys which mark channels
and wrecks are sometimes destroyed or
displaced by vessels running along the
coast on dark nights is well known
After two trials Of lighted buoys, there
fore, the Trinity Board have resolved up.
on sending buoy, of which the lantern
can be kept continuously burning, to a
station of Dundee. The first OF these
trials took place in August last at the
Trinity wharf, when the light lasted un-
interruptedly for twenty-eight days.
Water was pumped upon 1t by steam
engine, to see what would be the effect
of the shock and drenching. and no harm
was done. The buoy was then sent down
to the More, and there burned steadily
for twenty-four days. The same buoy
has now lett London for its appointed
place near Dundee. PROVISION has been
made for keeping 1t alight without any
interference lor thirty. four days. II is a
buoy OF most awkward construction but
this does not lessen its usefulness, aud
Others are being more skillfully made to
receive the same illuminating apparatus.
This Is modification of what Is known
a. Pintsch's compressed gas system,
which was first brought out in Germany.
1t is proposed 10 make the buoy itself
the recipient for containing the COM
pressed gas, with its regulator which is
one of the most important points OF the
invention, and the lantern at the top OF
short conducting tube. buoy OF or
dinary see will burn about thres months
night and day with only one filing, and
the light is visible at distance Of about
four miles. There is, however, in exis.
tenee an electric lighting apparatus
which might be employed, 20 that the
light might be extinguished at sunrise
AMI restored at night, giving, Of course,
q longer duration to the working OF the
buoy. 1t will be interesting to see the
result of this experiment, as the success
Of the scheme wonld be boon to navi.
cation.

How Candies are Made.

It Is an easy matter to drop a luscious
chocolate cream or crystal candy into
ones mouth, but the process by which
the morsel Is produced is not 10 email a
matter. Take a chocolate cream for in~
stance. First, half barrel Of sugar Is
put into n csldron with little water
and placed over slow fire until 1t
assumes q paste-like con-istency. Then
it /. put on marble slab and worked
like butter until 1t is smooth AND plastic.
That paste forms the basis Of all cream
caniiex The favoring is put Ia after
ward vanilla, orange, lemon. straw

may bs desired. The chocolate used
comes In huge cakes, is melted, and the
creams covered with it by dipping them
in rapidly.
TIE ciy,talizing c! candies requires
more work, and 1t IA in this that e.~
pecially-preparet apparatus Is used;
First, the TORN OF the candy Is secured
by moulding in fine'y-ground stsrch.
Then the candy, favored AMI prepared
according TO taste, is reduced u sinip
and paur.d in tbs moias, and plsc Ia
closet to cool slosly. These closets
are kept at q osrtsin temp'rs.ure, aud 1t
REQUIRES from three hours TO sverat
dsys to bring the candy to the right
consistency. When IL is tsken out tho
starch is removed with brush, and the
candies are ready for sale. Each kind
requires different mode OF treatment,

And poor Maud, with beating heart and
varying color, looked very much like
breaking down. Utterly amazed at her
words, and thinking his ears had de-
ceived him, he looked eagerly at her.
Could this be the girl his friend had
warned him against?
"Msud, do you mean what you say
Would you really marry poor man?'
he said. passionately, while he clsspad
the girls hand in his. "Answer me,
child why have you treated me so badly

Looking into his eyes and seeing all
the love that besmed there, Maud told
him all how she had heard the conver-
sation between him and Listop, and its
results.

The last census taken in Austria re-
vealed the fact that they were 1873 men
and 226 women above the age OF 100
years in that country.

The Egyptian correspondent of the
London Standard reports a retrench-
ment in the Khedive's harem. Some
twenty or thirty women have heen sent
off lately. Ladies thus discarded receive
a dot of from $500 to $4,000, and with
this can find husbands, especially gov
eminent clerks.

said to be equal to that produced in

the West Indies, and it is steadily i'm

bushels Of beans to the acre is considered
a fair yield.

AFTER the schooner Rosina had struck
upon Hslibut Point, Mass, during the
great gale of last week, the crew left the
vessel for a time, and on their return
found she had slid off, and, all sail being
set, was scudding away before the wind,
with only large dog on board. The
men hired tug, and tried to overhaul
the fugitive, but she soon distanced
them, and sailed away.

DELIRIUM tremens is always produced
by fusil oil and never by pure ethylic
alcohol. Next to organic disease of the
stomach, cierhosis of the liver is the
most common consequence of hard
drinking; distinct form OF non.heredi.

result. So says DR.. w. B. Richardson,
who adds that if the use OF alcohol were
discontinued there would be no more
