IHE CHRISTMAS SEASON is RAPIDLY
drawing near, and preparations for this
greatest of all holiday seasons are being
ST en-. With the advent of December.
The last of the calendar months, the at
tention of all Christian nations becomes
centred on this festive occasion, when
all more or less enter into its enjoy
ments. As is always the case, many
purchases are to be made, and to know
precisely what you will buy before start
ing on shopping expedition saves
much perplexity. and to have objective
points in view when on such business
economies time still more. There is
no doubt that most everything reasona-
BILE people will need for the Christmas
season can be found in Alexandria as
cheap and in many instances cheaper
than in larger cities. This is fact,
and can be demonstrated for the reason
that merchants here are not under eX-
orbitant rents or subjected to the thous-
and and one other expenses incident to
conducting business in a large city.
But for ali this, buyers must know
where to go in order to avail them
selves of low prices, good assortments
aud satisfactory articles, and the news
paper is the natural medium through,
which such information can be impart-
ed. There is no good reason why our
storekeepers could not advertise their
Christmas goods and prices and let the
community know there are bargains in
Alexandria as we'll as in larger cities.
The small outlay would augment their
trade a hundred fold. Our merchants
should show enterprise this season by
letting the people know through these
columns what can be accomplished by
purchasing at home. Those who have
awaited themselves of printers ink
heretofore have never regretted it.

ACCIDENT.-Mr Albert Drayton, son
of DR.. Henry Drayton, editor of the
Phrenoiogical Journal, of New York,
this morning, while driving young
sorrel mare in a buggy, was caught by
passing train in rather tight quarters
on Oronoco street, but extricating him
self from this dilemma, in good style,
ran into heavy wagon, while the ami
NAL was in an excited state, wrecking
one side of the buggy completely, and
throwing Mr.. ID. into the mud. The
mare, after scattering various parts of
the vehicle, its contents and harness
along the streets, was brought up on
Wolfe, near Washington street. The
calmness and good judgment displayed
by Mr.. d. in retaining the reins just
long enough to clear himself from the
debris, though being dragged, and letting
them go at the opportune moment
saved serious consequences to himself
Judging the character of the accident
by the appearance of the wrecked bug
gy, which was literally broken in splint-
ers, the escape from bodily hurt Of Mr..
d. is little short of miraculous.

Seen In Tobacco Smoke.

as there anything moro blissful in all
this world tran that condition In which
a man looks dreamily upward into a
cloud of smoke and views the world
through pale, hazy film?' said Dram
AIclvale as he did likewise. eve speak
of viewing the world through colored
glass and making it look beautifully red
and blue orgreen, but viewing it through
smoke makes one not only see a richly
colored world, but also one in which evil
is not contemplated. and pain is forgot
ten. To me the smoke is half magic, for
it makes the tiresome hotel corridors
along my route fade into nothing. In
their place it leaves kind of an en-
chanted garden in which linger in per-
feet rest. Friends come back and bring
with their coming old days of sunshine
and country scenery through which we
used TO travel together.
Everything is warm, mellow, rich IN
its perfection, and then I feel as I mag
inc a man ought to feel were he perfectly
successful and famous half believe
in the old TRANSPORTATION of souls theory
when 1 think of it. Just imagine some
soul living and growing in @ tobacco
plant and being released only in the
smoke of it! Can't You imagine that the
smoke might be thankful, blissful soul
that fingers in the film over you and
brings back beautiful visions: confess

missing my train."-St. Louis Globe

Poetry In England.

That poetry is steadily read and stud
led. save by very few, it seems to rs
impossible to believe. Even as regards
Shakespeare, Mr.. Irving's intensely poet
ical and moving presentation of King
Lear-really in suggestiyeness evenmore
than in performance a piece of acting
which should rank high indeed-has
served to illustrate on all hands, among
the people whom we meet, curious ig.-
norance The general impression of
those who never read it, you know"
that it is altogether too gloomy story
for the stage, is oddly suggestive of the
frame of mind which nowadays expects
tragedy TO be lively. "That," we heard
one exquisite say to another at the Ly-
ceum, as he pointed out a bust of Shakes
peare, sis the old gentleman who invent
ed this."-London Spectator.

The "Crucifixion Plant.

Those versed in plant and flower lore
say that the celebrated plant of Cal
vary" was unknown in the flora of the
world prior to the date of the crucifxion
of Jesus. According to the tradition,
the original plant sprang up in the track
made by PLATE when he went to the cross
for the purpose of placing that Infamous
title" over the head of him of whom the
Jews said, Say that he called himself
king of the Jews" The plant as it is
now known is common trefoil, resem-
bling the common clover in many partic-
ulars, especially in it's peculiarities of
growth. There is but little doubt that in
truth it was originally a native of Turkey
or India, but Christians who discredit the
story of ITS miraculous origin still claim
that its native home is Palestine.
Under the name of Calvary clover it is
known all over Europe. at present the
three round, green leaves of the plant
each have carmine spot in the center,
which looks FOR all the world like drop
Of blood. During the day the three leaves
stand erect, the TWO side ones laterally
taking OH almost the exact form of a
cross. During the season small yellow
flower appears, its form and makeup re-
m;ntlinS most startlingly of the crown Of
thorns.-St. Louis Republic.

1t is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained by the general pub
lie concerning the true meaning of many
terms in general use. A striking exam
pie of this is the word "terne" as applied
to tin plate. Usually it is understood
that this word is derived from the French
one, meaning dull" This is totally in
correct Terne plate is a sheet or plate
of iron aud steel covered with an alloy
of tin and lead in the proportion of two
thirds lead and one-third tin. 1t is this
union of the three metals-iron, lead and
tin-that gave rise to the word terne
plate, te1ne being an equivalent to the
English tern, meaning 'threefold." The
origin of the erroneous definition of this
term was the fact that because of the
large percentage of lead used in coating
terne plates it is duller in hue than the
ordinary tin plate, which is frequently
designated bright plate" in contradis-
tinction to the former.-House Furnish
ing Review.

She IS In Dead Earnest.

Lady Florence Dixie has taken off the
gloves, if may so put it. The time has
come, she declares in her latest mani
festo, for woman to assert herself and to
dethrone that too long worshiped and
dreaded tyrant-man! And there is only
one way, cries Lady Florence, in which
this can be done. Women, as women,
can never hope to effect the desired revo-
luton. Women, if they wish to do
anything, 'must disguise themselves as
men" patriotic mothers" are invited

The Prices of English "chapcronage."


A serious drawback to the cause OF
higher education for women in the Eng
lish universities is'reported from Oxford.
The cost of "chaperonage" has risen.
The older women, who are considered
indispensable escorts to the girl students
who attend examinations and lectures,
are demanding and receiving higher pay
than ever before. In many cases the
students cannot afford to meet this in
creased expense, and daring reformer
has suggested that chaperons be dis
pensed with. While this has Mortified
the conservatives, it has pleased the indie
pendent young women, who are begin,
ming TO realize that there is no lurking
peril in the streets of Oxford. Fran

A WINTER THOUGHT.

The wind swayed daisies that on every side
Throng the wide fields in whispering companies
Serene and gently smiling like the eyes
OF tender children long bcatifcd;
Tho delicate thought wrapped buttercups that
glide
Like sparks of fire above tho wavering grass
And swing and toss with all the airs that pass.
Net seem so peaceful, SO preoccupicd.
shesc are the cmblems of pure pleasures flown
| scarce can think Of pleasure without these.
Even 20 dream of them is 10 disown
The cold, forlorn midwinter reveries
Lulicd with the perfume OF OLD hopes ne"
blown,
No longer dreams, but dear realities.
