BROOKLYN, December 26.-The Rev. 7.
Dewitt Talmage, D. D., preached in the
Brooklyn Tabernacle this evening on the
subject: ''The Christmas Jubilee" A
special programme of music was rendered
by the artists of the church, and the con-

opening hymn begins:
Joy to the world the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King"

king, they departed; and, 10, the star,

Lsan Francis % Chronicle

Il has often been remarked that the
cells in the ponds of Vincennes park,
near Paris, leaya those waters every
spring in large numbers, making their
way to the rivers Of the Marine, or the
Seine, several miles distant. They take
advantage of rainy weather, when the
heritage is wet, and their instinct guides
them directly to their destination. New
species have repeatedly been introduced
into the lakes, but in vain. All seem
TO have this disposition to leave. Some
think that the water of these pounds,
having been brought by hydraulic
engines, has undergone some change
which drives the cells away. But the
phenomenon of such migrations by cells
and some other fishes is not uncommon.
Thus in the marshes of Picardy cells arc
often found on the grass, going from
one pond to another.

A Market for stale Dread.
New York Sun.

Nothing is now wasted,'' said the
Brooklyn grocer. 81 used to return
my stale bread to the baker, who held
it for a day or two, selling it to poor
persons in the meantime at reduced
price if he could, but if no call was
made he had to throw it away. In
Paris it is dried, and then ground up,
sugar and shortening being afterward
mixed with it, and then baked up into
a cake. But such cake could not be
sold here. Now the bakers have no diff
fculty The Italians buy up nearly all
the old bread, for which they pay 81 a
barrel. There may be seventy-five
pounds in each. 1t doesn't seem to
make any difference to them how old it
is, providing it is not moldy, and their
taking it in this way has been great
relief to the bakers.

fact is that Nine. Nilsson had been asked
by some nuns who kept a school for
poor girls if she would DO so extremely
kind as to sing once to those little ones,
as it would make an impression on them
which they would never forget. Mme
Nilsson too happy to do so much good
with so little. trouble, promised to come

But what should happen but visitor,

regret not to be able TO sing to the chill

sorry not to be able to accept the
queens invitation for that evening,
as she had an engagement which she
could not eyade, and that at any future
opportunity she would be happy to re-

EVOLUTION OF THE PEN

Ist Louis GIobe,Dcmorat,l

- ~ I~9+ae
lst. Louis Globe. Democrat
In the days of parchment and papy-
rus, pens were unknown because there
was no need for them. The ink was as
thick then as printing ink now Is, and 6
brush was the thing with which to APP
ply the ink to the parchment To the
present day the Chinese still use brush
for this purpose, as also do most of the
Oriental nations. But the invention Of
paper necessitated more delicate touches,
than could have been made with q
brush, and the first effort to meet the
need was a split reed. For a long time
this answered the purpose, but when
greater nicely was demanded, the
goose quill was pressed into service,
and for ages supplied the demand.
During the last century, many efforts
were made to improve on the quill, the
necessity OF constantly mending it be-
ing found a drawback to its use, but
all were unavailing. The attempts were
principally directed to fitting the points
with some substance harder than the
quill, so that mending would not be
needed, points of steel, copper, agate,
and even diamond and ruby being tried,
but all to no purpose In the first
years Of the present century pens began
to DO made entirely of metal, and the
survival Of an old habit was plainly
prominent in the first steel or metal
pens made, they being shaped in the
form of quill as nearly as possible.
They were fearfully hard, stiff things;
went scratching over the paper with a
most abominable noise, and spluttered
at a great rate, and as they sold for 90
cents each, were not very popular.
In 1920 elliott, the pen manufac-
turer, made wonderful Improvement
in their manufacture, giving the pen
three Sits instead Of one, which gave
more fiexibility. improvements in ma
chinery reduced the selling price so that
he vas able to sell these three-slit pens
foT about $40 gross. 1t is worthy of
note that q better article of pen is now
made and sold for % cents a gross
than could then be made for $40, the
difference being in the perfection of the
machinery, calling for less atten-
ton from the men employed.
The cheaper pens.are made entirely by
machinery, but the better grades are
partly by hand, and it is computed
that the various manufacturers turn
out every year about 400, 900, 600 pens,
to be used once or twice and then
thrown away.
The process of manufactures is exceed
ingly interesting, and the persons EN-
ployed in Sitting the pens by hand
acquire wonderful skill, SO that a quick
cutter will shape $4,000 pens in a day
and good Sitter viii cut the Sits il
$4,000.

The Game of "rip-Cat."

A very amusing game is now being
extensively played in London streets.
To play it you require heavy little
billet Of wood sharpened at both ends.
Place your billet on the ground, and
wait till a stranger (if possible respon-
sible and corpulent elderly gentlemen
is within twenty yards of you Now
strike your billet smartly on one Of the
pointed ends with stick. This will
cause it to fly up in the air, and you
then propel it with your stick in the di-
rection Of the target (the strangers
head. If your aim has been true the
game is won No points are scored for
a miss, but credit is allowed for hit
anywhere on the hat, body, or legs of
the object Ricochet hits may be al
lowed. 1t is advisable to select o new
pitch as soon as the game has been won.
This beautiful sport is technically known
as ''tip-cat." it may be played any
where and at any time. tits peculiarly
suitable to a wide and frequented thor
oughfare at about 8 or 10 in the morn
ing. Owing to the vigilance of the po-
lice there is no danger that those en-
gagged in the sport will be improperly
interfered with by malicious or inquis-
tive spectators.

Asia and eight in America, find their
interests in England so great that they
keep their shrewdest and most capable
diplomats at our capital. Literally our
interests spread, and our power is
acknowledged from China to Peru.
Whether Liberal or Tory be in, Britain
is Britain still. Her $4,000, 900 of peo-
pie, her boundless wealth, her limitless
territory, the courage, skill, enterprise
and logged endurance of her sons, are
realities of which the rulers of the world

A very laudable effort at teaching the
general public practical astronomy is
being made in Christiania. An optican,
Eerr A. Olsen, has erected a great re-
tractor in the Royal park-in size said
to be the fifth in the world through
which the celestial bodies can be OBJ
served by the public for small fee,
while explanations are given of theil
nature, etc. The interior of the pavil
ion in which it is mounted is hung with
celestial charts and diagrams, as we'll as
views of the planets, the sun, and the
moon, for the purpose of facilitating the
object in view. The cost of the instu-
ment is very nearly $40, 600.

Uses of Coral.
[Chioago Herald.l

Coral is used in India as an ado m
ment for corpses preparatory to crema-
ton. On this occasion its roseate hue
may be deemed symbolical of the de-
vouring flames, but it is often devoted
to sacred purposes both in Asia and
Africa. Among western nations it is
too sparingly employed as an ornament.
Coral is, or ought to be, plentiful. In
1880 new reef was discovered, several
kilometres in length, at Sciacca, an
island near Sicily. This isnot exhausted,
but is being rapidly exported to Africa,
where the natives are buying it instead
of the Genoese glass beads.

Funerals are great events with the
southern negroes, and they flock in
large numbers to the burial Of one Of
their race. Their 'settin' ups" are i'm
portant affairs. They resemble Irish
wakes in many respects, but are free
from the conviviality which marks the
latter. The night is spent in praying,
singing, and mourning The singing is
often very weird and impressive. one
of the. favorite songs runs in this way:
De'th De'th! De'th,
Done stole my mudder away,
Well, my Lord
De'tLl Doth! De'thl
Don't ay your cold icy hands on me,
Wea my Lord.
