A GLAD CHRISTMAS.
How Two Children Conferred and Enjoyed
Happy Day.

How Two Children Conferred and Enjoyed
Happy Day.
Five men, all prominent in the fnan-
cial circles of the city, were clustered
about a table in the gentlemen's dining
room on the second floor of Reissers
restaurant few days ago, discussing
the current gossip of the busy world in
which they moved. After the more sub
stantial portion of the meal had been con-
sumed and the quintette were comfort
ably slipping at an expensive brand Of
champagne the conversation turned on
the various methods of getting the
greatest amount of pleasure out Of the
coming holiday season. As soon as the
subject was preached one of the party
became unusually quiet and took scarce
ly any part in the lively discussion
which followed. After the other fourh had
offered various plans and suggestions the
silent member of the party remarked:
'You are all wrong, and to prove the
truth Of my words wish to tell you
little incident which happened to me
Christmas eve two years ago, and Of
which / have never spoken since.
While stopping 70 glance almost I'M
consciously at the display in the
windows of an Eighth street coniec-
tionery store my attention was attracted
by two children. boy apparently about
eight years old and girl about ten.
They were joyously pointing out all the
dainties in the windows to each other
and specializing upon the amount OF the

be warmly dressed, but their clothes
were OF the plainest and cheapest ma

children of a poor nottingham, who
was able to support his family. but to
supply them with none of the Injuries
OF life. From their conversation 1
learned that their father had given
each of them twenty-five cents to spend
for Christmas, and the great question
was what to buy with the money. While
the matter was still undecided a
poor, haggard-lool1ing woman came
along leading little girl, and they both
looked as IL they had not eaten any
thing for some time. The woman
stepped up to another woman richly
dressed in furs and timidly asked for
help, but her appeal was UNDECIDED and
she was haughtily ordered to stand
aside. As the poor creatures skunk away
in the greatest objection. noticed few
hurried whispers between the two chill
dren, and they quickly followed the
woman and child, and when they came
up with them pressed something into
the woman's hand, who was left speech
less by the sudden good fortune. As the
children passed me when they returned
heard the girl say: They'll enjoy it
more than we would. Well be at home
with nom and pop and have
good dinner and they'll have nothing.
When recovered my senses both par
les were gone, but I'll wager any thing

 Arctic Ocean.
 PHILADELPHIA, May l4.-The Academy of Natural Sciences will send an expedi- ton to the Arctic ocean. The expedi- ton will sail from New York about June l.

There never has been Q practical exploration by water before.
 The program is to charter a steamer for the summer months, whose passen- gers will consist of Lieutenant Peary and his little band of six northmen. 4 party of scientists will be appointed by the faculty of the Academy of Natural Sciences for exploration through the Arctic seas. This latter party will con- sist of specialists in all branches of na- tural science.
