Christmas Chuckles

Money makes Santa Claus go.
Even the idle little girl now darns
her stocking.
The greedy gobbler now knows days
of remorse.
AS we grow old we love Christmas for
what it has been.
After all, the mistletoe is. not as good
as the garden gate.
The sleigh bell is as good a Christmas
carol as one can hear.
Uncle 'Rastus believes it is more
blessed to take than to receive.
Some boys are dissatisfied if they don't
hind fire-crackers on the Christmas tree.
Most things in this world only come
once year, but they stay longer than
Christmas.
The mistletoe is Ginger, and that is
why it is so hard for those under its in.
huence to let go.

The Interior of Greenland.

Greenland, great continental is-
land, lying between the northern lands
of Europe and America, and uncon-
nected with either, ia almost 140O
miles in length and 700 in breadth,
with an area of $780, 600 square miles.
Its interior is covered by vast ice
cap, many hundred feet in thickness
in some places not less than 5000 feet.
From this inland ice great projections
extend down the valleys and mountain
gorges toward the sea. These are
glaciers and are really ice rivers, and
are in slow but constant motion.
AS they are pushed onward into the
sea, or into the deep fjords which indent
the coast, great fragments of them
break off and float away south as ice
bergs on the Arctic current, and be-
come the terror of mariners in the
North Atlantic. When the explorer

glaciers, he finds himself on the hard
glttering ice of the interior at an ele-
vaticn of 2000 or 5000 feet above the
sea level. The "great and terrible
wilderness" of ice extends in all direc-
tions as far as the eye can reach. In
winter and early spring thick coat-
ing of snow covers it, which the heat
of summer only partially melts. No
signs of living thing is here; moth
ing to break the monotony, but here
and there the surface is torn by crevas-
ses, into whose awful depths the
streams from the melting snow plunge
with sullen roar. Such is the interior
of Greenland. d.-[Ncw York Tribune.

fathers heavy cloak. he ran to the win
dow to examine his gift by the bright
light of the winter moon. 1t was a
dainty leather pocketbook, almost filled
with cleaning silver coins.
Jack fairly shouted with delight. He
never thought of an earthly giver. 1t
was Christmas Eve, so he did not Won
der that presents dropped from the sky.
"There! Now I'll dress the little
tree" he cried, ''for mother to see!"
And he began to lay the silver pieces
on the boughs of the tree, which was no
little trouble, for they constantly
dropped off again, till, at last, COM
pletely tired out, he laid his head on his
arms and fell sound asleep under his sill
ver-strewed tree. He did not hear his
mother when, covered with snow aud
painting for breath, she entered the
room. As soon as she had set down her
basket, she ran to her husbands BED

with the cabc-like web of an inn
mcnse spider, which, dripping with
dow or rain, makes cross connections,
short circuits, and grounds almost
daily. Ants often destroy the poles
in few weeks. Monkeys swing on
the wires and break them, and in tho
forests creepers and rope-like withes
ovefgrow the poles and wires every
few weeks. All this is more or less
true Of all Central and South America.
In Cuba there is an orchid that in
crusts the wire and causes leakage. In
the West Indian Islands the John
Crows. or turkey buzzards, make life
miserable for the telegraph and tele-
phone people. These big, heavy birds,
the only scavengers, are around in
great numbers. They roost on the
wires or fly up against them, and in
variably break them short off. In one
large town The telephone lines that
ran by The public market had to be
put underground because the buZzards
congregated there in great numbers,
rested OH the wires, and broke them
almost nightly. On the pampas Of
Argentina the herds of practically
wild cattle rub and butt against the
poles, and frequently break them
down.
For some years it was altogether
impossible to MAINTAIN line of tele.
graph through Persia for moro than a
few days at time; the natives regu-
larly destroyed ii as device of the
evil one. Finally the Shah issues an
edict making the loss of an ear the
penalty for first offence of destroy
ing the telegraph lines, the loss of a
hand for the second, and death, by
being buriced to the neck in the sand
beside the telegraph line, the penalty
for third offence. One-eared men
were common in Persia for several
years, for the Shah was determined to
introduce civilizing influences. - New

Hurriedly snatching his father s long,
heavy cloak, he drew the hood over his
head, seized the flag, and reached his
post Just in time. A. few seconds later,
the train rushed past the queer little
figure. The snow-hakes powdered
Jacks cloak thickly as he solemnly pre-
sented his flag, and his rosy face was
bewitching, peering out of the snow
hecked hood-a stray Christ Child on
the lonely hillside.
Perhaps he was mistaken for one by
the young girl gazing out OF the open
window of car into the quiet Christ
mas night, for she suddenly waved her
hand, and the next moment something
flew from the train and fell at Jacks
feet. He picked it up and hurried back

Cooperation in Road Making.

The new system in New-Zealand of
constructing roads and railways is by
what are called cooperative contracts.
In these, Il small party of men, gene
rally six in number, is allotted n cer-
tain section or length of road or line;
one of them is elected Il ''ganger" and
trustee for tho others, to deal for them
with the Government. The Govern
mcnt engineer siates price for the
portion of work, and as this is done
by an unprcjudced officer it is gene
rally accepted without murmur by the
men. The results usually have been
very satisfactory. Progress payments
are made fortnightly, for the benefit
of the mems families, and the whole
amount is paid up in cash on the work
being passed by the engineer. 1t is
the intention of the Government to
provide small farms of ten or fifteen
acres each for these workmen in viii
laoe settlements, so that they may be
induced to make their homes in coun-
try districts, and thus in some degree
meutraIize the ccntrallzing tendency of
modern industrial life

Christmas in Germany.

| Dear as Christmas is to us and to all
the civilized world, to the Germans it is
dearer still, for to them it means not a
| day but season of rejoicing, not an oc-
casional tree and single distribution OF
gifts, but series of trees and an inter-
change of gifts that extends from the
| highest to the lowest, from the Empress
to the poorest in the land.
The German Christmas is no formal
feast, but complete abandonment OF
old and young, very chiidren's time,
when the elders take only second place.
Trees are everywhere in the homes, in
the asylums for the poor, in the hospitals
for the sick, and in every place where
lives heart to bemade glad or child
to rejoice. The tree, which is before
all else important to the German Eve, is
dressed with tinsel and decked with
fancy cakes, but never child is allowed
lso Silth I'LL Ou VII iobtitS IYt ltlS
Christbind comes. Tnen the tapers are
lighted, the gifts are arranged and the
merry making begins. In the homes of
the wealthy and the well.to do, the gifts
are spread upon tables, hung upon the
walls and even suspended from the pic
ture- nails. But where the tree is small
and the gifts are few, the spirit is ever
the same.
The work for the merry season goes
ON for months before, and throughout
the land there is prevailing sense OF
something to come. Sensible gifts are
quite in vogue, and the boy whose
soul is hungry for cap like those his
fellows wear may be sure of the some
thing the tree will hold for him. The
girl who longs for the gown of silk,
which before confirmation she never
wears, will likely feel thrill of pride
when the secrets of the tree are known.
The season of Christmas extends till
the eve of the New Year, and in some
cases to the Epiphany or Twelfth Night,
and is a continual round of festivals and
feasts. In families which consist OF
several branches two trees, of which each
separate household has its own, are
lighted on each successive night, and
| each is the occasion of family gather
| ing as well as a fresh excuse for the Civ
ing of gifts. Luckily the gifts are less
extravagant than they are wont to be
with us, and aside from some special
wish or wishes which it is pleasure to
fulfill, they consist of cakes, toys and
trihes of many sorts.
The children who are laden with toys
make merry for the ensuing week, but,
on New Years Eve the candles are
lighted for the last time and are per-
mitted to burn themselves away, only a
few of the toys are left for common use.
The best are carefully laid away and
come forth again to honor birthday,
Easter and the Christmas to come.
Selfshness has nothing to do with
German Christmastide, and besides the
family gathering there is always the
thought for the poor. Feasts are spread
aud amusements arranged in each sep
arate neighborhood by the wealthy oc-
cupants thereof. And, in order that
the message of goodwill shall come be-
times to the weary and the heavy laden,
these charitable festivals, in which the
tree is ever included, take place on the
day preceding Christmas Eve.
