northern latitudes rs admirably true
to the reality. At the close Of the
musical programme, the jingle of q
bell was heard in the distance, when
well-got-up Santa Claus entered
by side door, with ladder which
he placed against the little cot,
climbed up and went bodily down
the chimney. Immediately the door
of the cot opened, Santa came forth,
and proceeded to unload stock of
candy, bag of which was given to
every juvenile and adult member of
the Sunday school department of
the congregation.
The success of the entertainment
reflected very great credit upon all
who had any hand in it, particularly
Mrs. Oggel who superintended the
preparatory arrangements.

THE NEW YEAR.

Standing as we are mt this hour,
on the very brink of an outgoing
year, and about to step forward on
the Threshold of another year, we
feel, and no doubt many of our
readers do also, that there is time to
reflect, before the life-ebbing year
has vanished.
1t is not our purpose at this
critical moment to elaborate at
length on what has passed, taking a
retrospective view of the eventful
year, (for evcntful it has been to us
all) but rather let us try to forget
what we have done wrong, and con-
tinue TO repeat, and if possible, to
improve upon, what we may have
done Alright. While wars and rumors
of wars" are pending in the old
world, we ought to be thankful that
our lot is cast on these pacific isles.
Though peace and plenty have ap-
parently prevailed throughout the
Archipelago, yet has there not been
unseen poverty and suffering in
our midst? That greatest of all
virtues, charity, has been evercised
to large extent in this city, and
should the occasion of pressing needs
arise in 1887, as it did in 1886, we
believe that similar virtue would
again be displayed.
AS the year 1886 vanishes into the
darkness of the Abyss of the Past,
let his faults he ''not remembered in
his epitaph." In handing this last
number of the DAILY BULLETIN for
1886 to the public, we wish them
all,
A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Ne.c York,s Leisure Glass.

A New York letter to the San Francis
co Argonaut says: London has many
morning concerts, fisheries exhibitions,
horticultural exhibitions, private views,
the everlasting Zoo, and an endless array
of amusements of a mild and taking
character, calculated to assist the leisure
class of the English metropolis in killing
time. New York, which apes London
in its amusements, is showing a tendency
in the same direction. We are now form
ing a leisure elias, here. It goes slow,
but it goes. Just now it consists largely
of gamblers, with a sprinkling of night
editors, younger sons, ruined fnan-
ciers, club men who cannot afford
to play Wall street, actors, col
lege boys home for vacation,
government employees and round
ers. The younger sons form a pictures
que element. They seem to be useful 20
the ladies and they wear very good
clothes, SO that the gamblers and round
ers do not object to them particularly.
That this leisure class will in time grow
large is evident. The number ofyouager
son and society men who have nothing
to do but amuse themselves increases
every day. There is now a very con-
siderable number of them who have no
more arduous ain in life than that of
killing time. The women who have
leisure are, of course limitless as to num-
bers. They are the strongest factors in
promoting morning entertainments. The
lectures, readings and concerts given in
the middle of the day are 100 per cent.
greater than five years ago.

AFou,,tatn of OIL.

A Tarty of explorers have been travel
ing through the GIos Ventre galley, and
n of them tells the Cheyenne (Wyom-
ing) Leader what they saw: On the
mountain peaks are found fossilizations
of every variety. Shellfsh of II past age,
skeletons of curious birds, and bones Of
gigantic and long extinct animals strew
the valleys and appear upon the noun
tains. On the broad surface of the ta-
ble-like rocks are curious carvings of
strange animals and birds, with hero
glyphics as strange as the subjects they
apparently explain. .
Entering through a crevice between
two gigantic rscks, the explorers found
themselves in a circular basin 800 feet in
circumference and lofty in height. The
floor of this basin was as regularly paved
with broad tagging as if done by the
hand of man. From three parts of the
basin arose a thin blush vapor, spread
ing through the underground chamber a
close oil-like smell. On investigation
this vapor was found to rise from deep
seams in the rocky floor. One of the
party produced a long cord and attach
ing to it a small stone, attempted to
gauge the depth of these seams. No
bottom could be reached, however. On
the stone being withdrawn it was in ev-
cry instance found to be covered with
yellow sticky matter of glue-like consis-
tency, strongly with a pc
troleum odor.
One of the party stumbled on a second
opening, and this led into q third and
smaller chamber in the center of which
was a working, bubbling oil fountain.
This was the pure article itself, as clear
as if fresh from the best oil refine
~. In fact it was the product
of a natural refinery, and the most po-
tent forces were engaged in its manu-
ure. From deep down in the bowels OF
the earth came a sound as of steady
cburning, and the oil mass hesved and
shook at intervals as the continued prod
uct OF the natural refining process was
poured in.

The late Henry Bradshaw knew more

the Partisan Library is worth recording
here. IA book had been lost for nearly
a century; he went yer to see if he
could discover it. Search was fruitless,
though there was q strong presumption

Absent-M Minded.

1t is a very awkward thing to be absent
minded. The story is told of a certain,
gentleman who discovered this to his
cost. 1t so happened, the other day,
that the dining-room of the club which
he f%requented was quite full, when a man
who CHANGED to know his particular fail
ing came in quite hungry. The waiter
told the new conner there was no room at
present. Spying his absent-minded &C
~quaintance seated and calmly reading the
a brilliant idea struck the
hungry man.,
HAS Mr.. A. dined yet?" he asked.
"No, SIR - replied the waiter.
"Well. never mind; take him q card,
and tell him he has had his dinner"
The waiter hesitated a moment, and
then went over to Mr.. A. and handed
HIM a card, .
"What is that for?" quoth the poor
fellow.
sFo1 your dinner, sir"
"My dinner-ah! Have 1 really had
it2"
Yes, sir" rejoined- the waiter, in COM
plete innocence.
Dear me; l had an idea l was waiting
for it. What a curious mistake.
And with a c~omtemplative smile Mr..
A. sauntered out of the room, leaving his
table for the use of the genius who had
thus profted by his Observation-Disclosures.

Mean Honesty.

George came running into the house
one day, sobuipg as though his heart
would break.
"Why. Georgy, what ever is the mat
ter?" exclaimed his MANN, in alarm.
She said ''what is the matter?" but she
would have said whatever" had she
known that her words would be seen in
print.
81 have done a naughty, mean thing"
cried poor George, his tears breaking out
afresh.
"There, there, darling, don't cry!
Tell it all to mamma"
Thus urged, the little fellow told his
story, with downcast eyes and with many
a mighty sob.
He had found a pocketbook with ever
and ever so much money in it. 1t had a
name in it which showed him that it be-
longed to Mr.. Soulless, the rich merchant,
who lived five miles out of town. George
had walked ont to Mr.. Solless's place and
found the owner in a state bordering on
distraction. He had lost his pocketbook
with nearly a thousand dollars in it.
Said George
"When I gave him the pocketbook he
was so glad! He didn't notice me at first,
but after counting the money and finding,
that zone was missing, he said ! was an
honest boy, and handed me a fve-cent
piece, telling me to keep that for my
honesty. And oh, mamma! | can't

Cold biscuits left oyer from tea may be

dipping them in hot water and placing
them singly on the hot CRATE in the oven
long enough to let them get we'll warmed

Lamp wicks should be changed often
enough to insure having Il good light.
If they seem clogged they may be washed
in strong suds and put into the lamps
again.
A butter stamp should always be
washed In cold salt water before it is used.
If soaked in hot water the butter viii
stick to it, but never if soaked. in cold
brine. The salt absorbed by the wood
keeps it moist while in use.
All soups are better made with fresh,
uncooked meat, as that which has beer
been cooked once has lost much of il
flavor and nearly all of it's juices.
Most people dry their umbrellas handle

rots the cloth. 1t is better, after tho

stair carpets cannot be changed in this

Celestial Court Rep0rts.

A correspondent of the North China
Herald recently attended the court day
of a Marking magistrate and saw a man
fined for selling a swollen dog for a fat
one, and another rcpr:manded for inter-
fering with a public teacher who had
tried to starve a REBEL Gus pupil into
submission. But the oldest one was the
las:-the suit of a close-fisted shopkeeper
versus an experienced physician. Plain
tiff informed the court that the doctor
had attended him professionally for less
than a week, and not only charged the
exorbitant fee of CD tien-lens (about 23
cents but dunned him with an inhuman-
ity that had broughton a relapse. After
whispering to on assessor, the court COM
manded silence, and offered to dismiss
the case if the parties would agree to
compromise on SO tien-lcns (19 1-2
cents. On those terms the friends of
the iitigants at last effected a settlement,
though not without much grumbling on
tho part of the principals on both sides.

Detecting Forged Bank-Notes.

A novel use is now made of the stereo-
scope to detect forged bank-notes. A
note of a hundred francs was recently
submitted to the experts of the Bank OF
France, as issued bysa band of forgers,
but the execution was s o perfect that no
defect could be discovered by the closest
examination. A suggestion was then
made to place the suspected note side by
side with the genuine one in the objective
of d stereoscope. the two images of which,
as is well known, overlap each other and
form a single picture. The result of the
experiment was that the loop in a letter
of the forged note did not exactly cover
that of the genuine one showing that
they had not been printed from the same
plate.

An Important Function illuminated

TIL kidneys exercise most important func-
tax to the utmost the strength and endurance
Of these busy little organs. Every breath, ey-
cry pulsation of the heart, every movement of
= limb, every thought makes waste, and neees-
used up particles in the blood are sifted from
it and dissolved in a watery fluid by the kid
neys, which then discharge this fluid into the
bladder. A train of disasters to the system
would follow if these ashes so to speak, were
not thoroughly drained off and discharged.
This is the case when the kidneys become in
active. Hostetter's Stomach BitterS, by ~restor-
ing their activity, not only keeps open a most
important outlet for impurities, but prevents
diseases of the kidneys themselves, which
when inert beco ne liable to fall a prey to dia-
bet"s, Rlight's disease, mephitis, albumenuria,
and other maladies specially incident to them,
which, although not specially rapid in their
progression, are particularly obstinate and
fatal.
