The Marx Lane Erpress, in its weekly re-
view of the British grain trade, says: 1.-The
unusually mild weather causes wheat to
maintain healthy and promising appear
ance. Trade is dull and liteess, owing to
the super-abundant supply of foreign wheat.
English flour and wheat are difficult to sell
in London. Mailing ba"leys are very scarce.
Foreign wheats are unimproved. The stock
is large, and buyers are apathetic and ex-
tremely cautious. Flour is in moderate sup
ply, with the London trade depressed.
Mixed American Maize is against buyers,
ewing to its scarcity. Trade in careoes Oft
coast is very restricted.

THIS winter has presented farmers with
an excellent opportunity af fixing up their
premices, repairing their dwellings, build
ing houses, stables. sheds, tool-houses and
other cenveniences, and we trust they have
availed themselves Of it and are getting pre-
comfortable in any weather that may come.

THE inexperienced continue to maintain
a country where it is not unecssay to Irrig tie
a crop. They forget the less OF crops every
few years from drouth, the injury done by
excessive rains, rust, chinch bugs, array
worms, and the thousand and one other
things that curtail the yield of the farm in
these lands of rain. They also seem to be
ignorant OF the fact that art can supply 4
better growing season by means of irriga-
ton than nature usually turnishe>s and that
the increased yield made possible by irrga,
ton more than compensates tor the extra
expense.

The first thing requisite for the farmer to
do is to make his home comfortable. The
next is to ornament it and make it beautiful.
The heart can wish for nothing more than
a comfortable and attractive home, and if
the in mates OF such are not happy, the fault
will certainly not rest with the provider.

SANTA claus at Wood Lamu.

Among the many pleason, gatherings incl
dent TO this "Mery Christmas time was one
which was held on Monday evening at Wood
Lawn, the residence of Mr.. b. +. Dillingham;.
1t was quite strictly neighborhood affair, and
considering the bIevity of time devoted to its
amount Of fun and good time was realized
The neighbors sent in the gifts that had been
prepared for their own families, and entrusted
them to the ladies in charge of the evening.
AT hali-past six, about fifty being present, the
entertainment was opened by the singing Of
Christmas carol, by sweet childish voices.
Then followed several spirited charades, acted
by the children, the reading of a legend a
vocal trio; most novel apparition, in the
form Of Syrian dwarf, who proved himself
very chatty and complaisant as well (; dia-
logue between two little girls, who stuck
feather duster in cane seated chair and pro-
ceeded to trim it with tinsel and bits Of gold
and silver paper for Christmas tree, as a
sprise to mamma" and last a recitation by
small boy concerning "Sy Santa Claus. :"
Scarcely had he taken his sea, ere the folding
doors were opened and every one saw-nof
the expected tree, but daIkened room, AT
the farther side of which showed an old
fashioned chimney fireplace. There it was
solid brick, SCOT, manielpiece, well hung with
stockings-and all aglow with soft warm
light. As tableau il was success, and those
present who were used TO hresides long ago
felt an unusual tug at their heartstrngs
Alter few moments of quiet enjoyment there
was heard the cracking Of whips, n stamping
and shouting, and with much hustle, old Santa
Claus dropped down into the room with the
traditional pack upon his shoulders. After
of his experiences coming down
Ilaleakala with the accidents that befel him
as he aghted on Oahu, and distributing
small portion Of his gifts he called for assis-
tants TO take charge Of all he would leave
behind, as he had yet Japan and China 10
visit, and gathering himself together, he
vanished up the chimney as nimbly as he
came. An hour or two of delicious surprises,
lively jokes and hearty good times followed.
Plates Of ice cream Ito remind one Of the true
season of the year, closed a most enjoyable
Christmas eve.

Diet, Mr. Charles Lobbett, Mrs. Leah HASTE
and Mr.. ID. NJ. Crowley. As given, the play
had to be cruelty cut and was compressed
into three acts Under the circumstances the
success attained merits the fullest praise,
Herr Bandmann is an artist Of pronounced
originality. He is recognized abroad as one
of the closest modern students of the play,
and, while his Hamlet is Enthusiastically his
own, he knows the traditions that cluster like
cobwebs about the subtle character he imper
sonates as he knows the well worn lines of his
part. Miss Beaudet is a former San Francisco
favorite, who won the hearts of the principal
Australian towns during her recent trip. Her
