children screamed when old Santa with
snowy beard and hair crept from out
the green plants about the chimney,
muttering in a low voice, /" From Ger

and the boys call me old Kris Kringle. "
Pretty notices or messages of love were
with all the gifts that old Kris scattered
among the happy group.
A brooch, with its diamonds shining
like Rose Bells eyes, was one of the
many gifts the gods showered on the
tiny maid.
Later on, when the tree was stripped
of its gifts, the youngest scion of the
house, little Tom Bell, whispered in
sepulchral tones to his mother:
al say, mar Santa Claus is in there
and he 8 got his arms around sister Rose,
and he kissed her. Will he take her up
the chimney with him?"

The Age OF the Earth.

As soon as our earth ceased to be in
candescent, and became covered in
large part by water, it commenced its
dispositions of submarine sediments.
The oldest known sedimentary rocks,
comprising the Laurentian and Huron
ian systems of Canada, have total
average thickness which cannot certain
iy be estimated at anything less than
80, 900 feet. Sir William Logan, indeed
the greatest authority upon these pri-
meval formations, considered the meas
urable thickness of this Upper and
Lower Laurentian alone to amount re-
spectively to 10000 and 10000 feet
while he set down the Huronian system
as reaching some $4,000 more. But as
doubts have been raised whether the
Huronian series are not really the meta
morphosed representatives of the Upper
Laurentian, we will omit them altogeth-
er from our calculation, so as to avoid
any possible cause of offense. The great
Cambrian system, the next in order
of time, has a thickness which has been
fairly estimated at from $4,000 to 3d.
900 feet. We will adopt the smaller
figure. The Silurian is pretty certainly
known to number 5000 feet. The Old
Red Sandstone, with its doubtful con-
temporary, the Devonian, cannot be
put down for less than 10000. The
Carboniferous series amount to at least
1900 feet, the coal measures alone
sometimes attaining to fully that thick
ness. Thus the whole Primary group,
including the so-called azoic rocks, has
total vertical extent of not less than
SO, 900 feet. By the side of these enor-
nous thicknesses, we can only allow
10000 feet for the whole of the Second
airy formation, from the Permian to the
Chalk inclusive, while we shall be gen.
erous if we assign 1000 feet to
the little group of the Tertiary
and Post Tertiary deposits. This gives
us total thickness for the whole
geological series of 1900 feet. Let US
allow G, 200 more for the breaks be-
tween each of these main divisions, or
the unrcpresented strata and we have
the round number 100, 900 feet.
A tabular statement will make these
relations clear and will allow us to
translate our known thicknesses into
conjectural but relatively ascertained
dates

Stenographic BIunders.

There is some good reading in the
current report of the New York Steno.
graphers' Association. From a paper
on "Blunders," by F. j. Morgan, of
Syracuse, we extract the following as
ludicrous instances of stenographic in
depreciation and transcriptions there
from:
Gross receipts-Grocery seats. The
mothers prayer-The matters prior.
He was little fellow-He was a little
full. They captured two Parrot guns
They captured two pirate guns. The
woman was baking bread-The woman
was begging bread. / found the horse
in that pasture-I found the horse in
that posture. Counsel offered paper in
evidence-Counsel brought pauper in
evidence. The showers were not suffi-
cient to meet the wants of millmen-
wants Of milkmen. In the intervening
time he said nothing the entire
evening time he said nothing. 1 came
with my brothers, Horace and Henry
/ came with my brothers horse and
Henry. A medical witness, speaking
of the illness of a lady patient, said:
"She appeared to be somewhat I'M
strung and nervous" The transcriber
made him say, "She appeared to be
somewhat knee sprung and nervous"
A minister, preaching a sermon on the
death OF a gentleman named Samuel,
quoted: "And buds and blossoms IN
the dust" He was delighted to read
in the next issue of the paper: "And
buds and blows Sam in the dust" An
attorney asked a female witness how
she came to be employed by plaintiff
and she answered: 81 saw sign in the
window, Female clerks wanted here. ."
The laundering reporter rendered it:
Family color warranted here" An
orator referred to the different religious
sects or denominations "going for one
another" throughout the country and
said: Here we have one sect persecu-
ting another" and was SO reported,
but the transcriber rendered it: Here
we have one sick person feeding an
other" and so it appeared in the morn
ing papers.
Several years ago an eminent lawyer
hired one OF these professors to take
testimony In an important case. The
transcribed minutes astonished him. A
"patent upon which much depended
in the suit was converted into s'poten-
tate" "solid frame" was turned into
ian isolated farm" the furnaces of

Commercial Travellers Successful
ff Ruse.

Some commercial travellers, says the
Providence Press, understand human
nature pretty thoroughly. One of them
who had been through the South and
West pretty extensively, but had never
been East, came to Providence recent
ly. Going down one of the principal
thoroughfares quite eariy-he saw an
establishment dealing in his kind OF
goods. He stepped in, inquired for the
proprietor, and handed him his card.
The proprietor gruffly informed his Wis
itor that they wanted nothing; had more
goods in the store than they could sell
In five wears. {" Who asked you to buy
anything?' said the traveller. % am
. stranger here, and not feeling very
we'll, want glass Of brandy. Thought
you might be able to tell me where
can get one." The proprietor suddenly
became very affable and offered to 60
with his visitor. When they had re-
turned to the store they sat down and
talked !" about the weather." and vari-
Gus other things. but not word about
business did the commercial traveller
utter. An hour or more passed in that
way. and then the proprietor questioned
his caller about his samples. The lat
ter was apparently very reluctant IN
showing them, but was finally prevailed
upon to do 80. Before he had left the
store he had taken orders amounting TO
about nine thousand dollars. His STRAIT
egy was success.

CHRISTMAS DREAMS.

Night before Christmas. you bear on your
wing
Fancies so bright and hopes full of joy,
Like Ginning carols they merrily ring,
From cherry-red lips of each girl and boy,
81 wonder what santa will bringg
Beautiful ewes are now hidden from sight.
Meath fringed white lids that over them
close:
sunny curls fall with softning light
Over the pillow where sweetly repose
Our little ones pure and bright.
For Myla and Matte are fast asleep
They watched for Santa long as they
But. so sleepy, at last to bed they creep,
While Myla said "Tell him bring somsin
Now, angels, your watch DER them keep.
They sleep. and visions of dolly or drum,
Like vapors are floating airily by
Visions OF trumpet and great sugar plum,
Are seeming all night before them to fly,
Fairy fancies that go and come.
"when we sleeped then old Santa did tum!'
"And hinged" said Myla, "a dolly vat ties
"And see," says Matte, my sled and
An my baby tan shut its yies."
"And nuts and tandy, and everysing,
He hinged me 'em ALL" said little pet.
"Dess fits my finer is little dOld ying,
/ was faid old Santa Taus would fordet,
Cos so many he had to bing."
And sturdy Nat to his dear mother flew;
'Just see my book and nice new hat,
And mittens, and boots and a French harp, too,
So much did wish he would bring me that /;
But wonder how Santa knew?"
Vision of childhood, so joyous and sweet,
Happiest hours when lite is new;
As the Christmas dawn you hopefully greet,
May ever your brightest of dreams come
true,
Your joy-your bliss to complete.
Beautiful eyes, may you waken to joy,
And the Christ-chid bless each humble
home
To each household pet, or motherless boy,
May Santa Claus never forget to come,
Bringing pleasures without alloy.

with the bottom Of the shaft and on OBJ
