In this city the clouds hung all

Came in their ever-glorious fight
Unto slumbering little star.

awake and glorify the morn!

He that shall lead dis flock Is bo NJ"
The tie star awolie and sung
As only stars in iapture may
And present where church bells hung
The joyous tidings found their way.
"Awake, o bells! 'tis Christmas m,rn-
Awake and let thy mu ic tell
To all mankind that now is born
Whit shepherd loves His lamblins well!
Then rang the bells as fed the night
DER dreaming land and di owsing deep,
And, coming with the morning light,
They called, my child, 10 you leep.
Sweetly and tendeIly they spoke,
And, ling round your little bed,
Their music pleaded till you woke,
And this is what their music said:
awake and sing! 'tis Christmas morn,
whereon all earth salutes her King;
In Bethlehem is the Shepherd born
Awake, Olttle lamb! and sing"
So, dear my child, knee at my knee,
And with those voices from above
Share thou this holy time with me,
The universal hymn of love!

Great on Quails.

OF all gastronomio tests quail eating is
probably the most severe. A man who can
eat brace Of quail every day for FORT
night stands in no immediate need of
ply sictan's services. A man who can per-
form this feat has stomach " ell nigh as
good as that of an ostrich. Quail is the
hardest of all meat to digest, and excessive
indulgence in that Wand is very apt to have
fatal termination. Count Herbert de
Leon, who essRyed the task OF demolishing
thirty quais in thirty days at Paris in the
fall Of 1886, died Of heart failure on the
twenty-eighth day Of his trial.
By strange coincidence J. G. Hunting
ton OF Philadelphia, who endeavored to &C
complish the same feat, died ON exactly the
same date as the Frenchman, twenty-geven
days after he had eaten of his first quail.
The same fate overlook Mary Stoddard, q
Virginia woman, and Maurice de Costa, a
cook in a West Twenty-fifth street restau>
rant. who emulated the example Of the
French count the year following his demise.
They all died Of heart failure, superinducsd
by indigestion.
This list Of casualties was the subject of
discussion among a number of Newspaper
men at my cafe, then a popular resort of
journalists, actors, politicians and men
about town. One OF them. in a bantering
spirit, offered to bet small wager that
could not eat thirty qusils In thirty days
Frank Walcott had just then sprung into
fame by making away with thirty brace
OF quail in thirty days. A. g. Thompson,
big bookmaker Of Chicago, who was with
the journalistic party, went one better than
the newspaper man aud flashed 81, 900 under
my eyes, saying / could not better Walcott's
performance. accepted the wager and
bet 81 900 that / would cat forty-one brace
of quail ia fortysone days, / went a
step further. j bet an extra $500 that
would consume in addition thirteen Quail on
the thirteenth day of the trial and fifteen on
the last day. Ex-Gov. Deleplaine OF South
