THE CHRIsTMAs TREE.

The Evening world" Christmas trees

sey City were great successes. How
could they be otherwise considering the
object they had II. view. the energy EN-.
ployed in getting them up. and the
liberallty OF the friends who aided the
enterprise with money and goods?
The trees were successes, however. not
alone In the large supply Of toys and
useful articles distributed among thou
sands Of poor children, and the good
order observed IN the distribution. but In
the moral effect " the happily conceive

joiced at the happiness OF their little

and dissatisfaction were driven out OF
their hearts and replaced by kindly graft
tude to find that multitude OF strangers
sympathized with them and rejoic"d AT
the opportunity to contribute to their en-

them by the universal love which was
the best fruit OF the trees.

A Persian lady's rooms do not occupy
much OF her time or attention. They are
very simple, and taste plays no important
part In them. The walls are either plain

In plaster or inlaid UP to the ceiling With
fragments Of looking glass. Her bedding

room she generally inhabits. On a shelf
In every niche stands turquoise-col-
ored vase. on which rests a strongly
scented shaddock.
This Is the only decoration excepting
the exquisite carpets and rugs which are
spread about the floor. She is thoroughly

and slaves much as II they were her
equals, interesting herself In the cookery
and often making the sweetmeats. In
which an Oriental household delights.

The tug had in tow barge No. 10, be

at their dock at the foot Of Fortieth

gale at the time, made the work very
difficult.
The Jug was about to enter the slip
and swinging around attempted 10 go
alongside the barge to force her up the
dock.
AS soon az the hawser was loosened

FEARED IT WAS A LIVE WIRE,
Exciting Experience OF Passengers
on a City Hall "L" Train.

There was an incipient panic for few
minutes In the first car of the Third
Avenue az" train that arrived at City
Hall station at $50 this morning. and
many OF the passengers considered that
they had had lucky escape from what
might have been serious injury or pos
sibly worse
Just after the train drawn by engine
1853 left Twcnty-third street the pas
sengers In the first car were startled by
rasping, grating, scraping sound on
the roof. such as would be made by the
branches of trees scrnping a buggy top.
But there are few trees in New York,
and none along the line OF the Third
Avenue "L." Instinctively the passen-
gers knew that the scraping sounds
could be caused only by a wire, and In
1t might be an electric light wire.
1t was. For several blocks the thing
was invisible. Then II dangled over the
the car. sauirming and Jerking about
like a snake.
One end OF the wire had. in some man:
car poe This kept s' the ae wire 1 eontnS
sionaiiy the loose end would strike a pill
lar. or other object down in the street
whip.
To put It mildly. the passengers in. the
first car were nervous. Mere OF them
knew whether or not the dangling. snake
like affair was live wire but all feared
1t was, and every one expected
at any. minute to see the electric serpent
shoot forth sparks.
Finally at Sixteenth street. there was
short quick snap. and the threatening
wire disappeared. Then every one drew
a long breath and looked relieved.
The engineer OF the train did not see
the wire, but to several passengers he
said that In all probability II had been
dropped upon his train by workmen,
who might have been strInging wires
| across Third avenue.
An Evening World" reporter walked
from Twenty-third street. where the wire
first appeared, to Sixteenth street. where
II dropped from the train, but was UNI
able to find any one who knew anything
| about the strange occurrence.
Even the wire had disappeared. having
possibly been removed by the workmen
who are supposed to have dropped IT,
About four years ago. a live electric
| light wire got entangled with South
ferry train In Pearl street, and drag
cling along behind II, slightly injured two
pedestrians on the sidewalk below.

BABY's LOOKS MAKE TROUBLE.

There Is baby up on Eighth avenue
1t came into the world recently. and was
chrlstened on Christmas Eve. IL looks
so much like Its father and mother that
there Is considerable doubt AS to which
II resembles the closer. and at the christ
ening two of The babys uncles under
took to settle the point. They mauled
each other. beat a policeman with his
own club were beaten in turn and are
now on Blackwelrs Island brooding over
what they don't know about infant
physiognomles.
The baby isn't conscious OF the stir II
has already made in Eighth avenue cir
Giles, and goes on -gooirg innocently
and looking more like its father and
mother every minute. Although the two
uncles are patched up with sticking
plaster. and are in prison, nobody knows
yet whether the baby looks more like
It's papa or Its ma NINA. II the neighbors
should take up the discussion and put
an amount OF life into II proportionate
with that the two uncles invested Il
with. the avenue win be as fun OF ex-
citement and moving missiles as Rio lie
Janeiro.
The parents OF the baby ought 10 do
their best to prevent any more trouble
over their offspring's looks. They can
do this by dividing up the babys fea-
lures. Let papa claim the nose, the
chin and the width between the ears
and paint them red, and mamma can
coat her claims, like the forehead. the
high cheek bone, the eyes. etc. vivid
green. Then anybody may see at a
glance that baby has paps's nose OF
mamms's eyes. or mammals smile and
papa's chin, and there need he no Job,

Take Care of the schoolair,..

DR.. Backus, OF the Packer Institute, IN
Brooklyn, has zen saying some severely
common sense things to ambitious
parents. In addressing a meeting Of edu-
Gators he very forcibly expressed his
opinion regarding the responsibility
which parents should feel in their physi.
cal carr Of the young student in her
school days. He emphatically disap-
proved OF the practice OF keeping her en-
a piano stool for hours every day. Put
her to bed ear. and don't waken her In
the morning" he said. "If she Is not
being overGaSed she will awaken her
self In time for school. and II she doesn't
let her sleep. Give her a good breakfast,
too. before she starts out. Her stoma CHI,
at that time Of life. is a more important
organ than her brain" All Of which Is
sound sense ana was so enthusia stically
received by his listeners that 1t is to he
hoped every scholars guardian present
took away the good seed to bear fruit.

Beware the Mother-in-La,y.

To the Editor:
The young gentleman who hnds himself in a
quandary because his nancee dealres to share her
mothers permanent company is indeed to b.
pitied. Th' youth who had tn choose between
the lady and the tiger had a far easier task TO
perform. ! woild seriously advise him to plunge
into the East River. provided he Is unable TO swim
than to plunge into matrimony on such conditions.
The most lovely OF women is transformed into a
terrorlzng tyrant from the moment she becomes
mother-in-law; while she tries to be the guardian
angel OF her beloved ehlldren's happiness. she lie
the cause Of untold miseHes and the sourc. OF
many tears. Love and adore your mother-n-isw
young man, but beware OF her and keep her at a
distance. 1t is essy to write her a loving letter
and TO send her beautiful presents but keep her at
a distance. Build golden bridges for her flight,
and let the ocean roll between your home and the
expression OF her affections, and the will
never set on the haleyon days OF your welded life.

The Governor OF Oregon avails him
self OF the day OF roast turkeys and

that the Legislature OF Oregon, great
as II is. Is not as powerful in National
AFFAIRS as the two Houses OF Congress.
and. while he has been frequently urged
to call that Legislature together to allie

impending calamity, he feels that the
President can do more even than a
Pennoyer in this direction. He there

their having sufficiency of food and
