mir. CHIRRUP'S CHRISTMAS.

Mr.. Chirrup was glum. ANY one
else, with a less admirable disposition
would have been "cross" under the
same p~rovocation.
But Mr.. Chirrup was never cross,
and he was seldom "glum."
However, when it comes to the day
before Christmas and you have no mon
ey to bay your wifes Christmas gift or
anything toput in the children's stock
ings, and no prospected turkey, or
mince pie and plum pudding for your
Christmas dinner, you are excusable
for being glum.
So. at least, thought Mr.. Chirrup, as
he sat looking out of the window of
Lawyer Ledgerly's Office, where he was
employed at ably no-means e~xtravagant
salary. Lawyer Ledgerly was ill-"too
Tito be seen" his mother-in-law said,
90 there was no hope of his anticipat-
ing his next quarters salary, as he had
sometimes done on similar pressing CO
casions.
For Mr.. Chirrup's salary was so small
and his family so large, it was not much
wonder there was usually some difficult
ty in making the salary stretch from
one quarters end to the other.
Allthese things Mr.. Chirrup pondered
as he sat looking out of the window in
Lawyer Ledgerly's Office, which was on
Fifth street, just opposite Union Mar
ket. And our hero-if little Mr.. CHR
rup can he called anybody's hero-grew
GUNNER than ever, and beat the "Dev.
IFS tattoo, on the window sill as glum
peopls usnallydo. For the sight Of the
market stalls crowded with Christmas
luxuries, was not exactly calculated to
cheer up q man in Mn. Chirrup's cir
cumstances.
He still gazed moodily at the well
flled market stalls, at the crowds of
people, jostling and elbowing each
ether, when ne suddenly started and
peered sharply from under his eye
brows, as if he had seen someone he
knew.

But in reality he was only deciding in

take il. And plump it went forthwith
into Mr.. Rothschild Chirrup's huge

a SONG FOR CHRISTMAS.

There is frost in the air, there is snow on the
caves,
And the branches are bare that were covered
with leaves;
But the bells chime in swells and are eager and
They teII us December is blither than May!
Then, the holly we Irvine, and the cedar and
pine;
And, blight with delight, how the laughing
eyes shine!
Merry Christmas !" it trips from the dearest
Of lips,
With never a shadow it's joy to eclipse.
Over highway and street how the little feet fly;
o Loves errands are sweet, though the storm
cloud the sky!
The year full of cheers nears its festival day,
And we feel that December is Drawer than May!
For it never hath ceased, that fair star in the
East,
ForetoId in the vigils Of prophet and priest
To beam with its CLEAN Ger our trouble and
woe;
And it is not a dream, that we walk in its glow;
And we carol and sing by the manger once
more,
And an infant is king and we kneel and adore.

It is amazing to think ofthe tremen-
dous proiectile force which modern
guns have acquired under the experiF
ments and improvements OF the last
fifteen years. In Italy q 120-ton riis
gun has thrown a steel-pointed bolt
through three feet thickness Of steel
armor in layers, the bolt piercing clear
through this mass of hard metal and 2
wood packing behind, and burying ~
self in the earth in the rear. Armored
vessels are sheathed with SIX to twelve
inches Of steel plating, but what Is TINS
frail barrier in the presence Of one OF
these terrible guns, which in an en.
counter at sea would send the heaylest
armored ship adoat with two on three
well-directed shots. Guns and pro.
j~ectlles have attained such d degree q
effecti seness that defences have little
value; a pasteboard is about as good 2
protection as a sheathing of steel, and 2
ship a crew or garrison would be 90
safe in the open air as behind armor
plates.

A London scientist says that the
highest velocity that has been impaired
to shot is given as 1926 feet per sec.
ond, being equal to q mile in 3.2 sec
onds. The velocity OF the earth at the
equator, due to rotation on its axis, is
1000 miles per hour, or a mile in 3.f
seconds; and thus, If a cannon ball was
fred due west, and could maintain its
velocity. il would beat the sun in its
apparent journey around the earth.

'Merry Christmas 1T trips from the glNddest
of lips,
And never a sorrow its joy can eclipse.
So haste, children fair; troop along, little feet;
Be quick, little hands, the Messiah TO greet!
The angels to earth brought the news Of his
birth,
And you are our angels of blessing and mirth.
There is frost in the air, there is ice ON the
rill,
The branches are bare over valley and hill;
But the bells time their swells, o! so eager and
gay,
For December, remember, is grander than May!

Ma Branding Machine.

About ten thousand head of cattle
have been branded this season at the
Crawford corral, on the south side OF
the river. In the Parker machine. The
capacity of this machine is about four
hundred head Of cattle daily. The
price of branding Is from seven to ten
cents Il head. This week about one
thousand head Of Mathers' cattle have
been branded there. The machine ia
about twenty feet long, and will hold
from four TO six head of cattle Mt a
time. 1t is just wide enough for the
passage of full grown animal. When
the machine Is full the frame is elevat.
ed by pulleys operated by horse. The
legs of the animal are between the

their legs swing underneath. While IN

An old New England Custom.

In early New England days, as far
back us the middle of the eighteenth
century. when hospitality was prac-
tice, as well as Il virtue. there was in
most houses only q large assembly
room. and there the family and all the
guests and chance callers gathered on
winter nights about the blazing fire of
logs. We know that youth was youth.
and love was love, and young men
were timid and maidens were shy, and
courtship went on in those days. How
was courtship possible In this common
room. where every word was heard and
every look taken notice OFF We read
in the admirable volume on the recent
centennial of Long Meadow, Mass, by
Professor Richard 5. Storris of that
town, that in the winter evenings, for
the convenience of young lovers, since
there was no next room," counting
sticks were used-that is, long wooden
tubes that could convey from lip to ear.
