HE KEPT THE UMBRELLA,

And Whether He Did Right or Wrong H.
 Did Not Know.
 The ethics of meum and tuum are elastic as regarded by most individuals. One man thinks it is his duty to keer what another man will feel it a sin not to render up, and where the respon. sibility ends in the search for an owner of lost property is an undecided ques. tion. One man formed his decision in public the other day in this regard and no doubt came out the better for it.
 He had stepped down the staircase of the Third avenue IL" at the Grand Central station and been whacked on the shoulders by an excited woman with very genteel umbrella
 Ut belongs to the lady in red," she screamed, and the man, who was a gen. tlemanly, middle-aged individual, forged ahead, gripping the umbrella, which he offered to the young woman in crimson, already carrying a white parasol.
 This young woman disclaimed it, and the man, casting about for another woman in red, lit on portly female we'll on in front, with wealth of red roses in her bonnet.
 This second also refused it, display. ing her own black gloria, and then the perspiring, breathless gentleman fled on panting and pinning his hope on a vestige of red which he saw in a far of young woman's collar.
 She didn't own it, either, and then beneath the blazing afternoon sun the overworked man stood and looked to every side of him for one other woman with a glimmer of red, but he couldn't see any. Then he felt he had dis charged his duty. and his face assumed an expression not only of pleasure, but of hope.
 He unfurled the umbrella and stroked the silk appraisingly. He regarded the handle, then the ferule, raised it, eyed it approvingly, closed it again, stuck it under his arm to see how it felt when it wasn't raining, then opened it finally again, and, thrusting it with an air of well satisfied posses sion between him and the sunlight, strolled down Forty-second street
 And there was no one to remark as to whether or not his duty might have been considered to end, or that there was any such place as a lost property office.-N. Y. Herald.

Burning the Christmas Candle.

We are inclined TO pity the Puritan
little one of New England who knows
nothing about merry Christmastide,
with its rollickiug games of blindman's
buff, hunt the slipper, snapdragon and
the like, but some Of them enjoyed the
practice which they called burning the
Christmas candle" This taper was a
homemade affair and differed from 9TH
or tallow dips only in being larger and
having the wick divided at the lower
end to form three legs, while at its heart
was concealed a quill well filled with
gunpowder. On Christmas eve it was
lighted, and the quaint little Puritan
folk sat around telling stories and nd
dies until suddenly the candle went off
with a tremendous explosion, making
a delightful excitement and giving the
children of the colonies their only taste
of uproarious holiday fun.

Those magic words, Just

condition of our Stock and

We hit the key note of sue
cess when we launched out to
do business on the Quick
Sales and Small Profit basis;
goods sell faster and we are
enabled TO keep our stock full
of the very latest of every
thing to be had; the days of
shop worn goods are over with
us; its new styles and patterns;
new life in business, which to
you means New York, London
and Paris goods at but a slight
advance over New York, Lon
don and Paris prices. As a
practical illustration, we are
selling this week, MADRAS
CURTAINS for 81 a pair.
We have been guilty of selling
the very same CURTAINS for
81 a pair simply because we
formerly charged the ruling
Honolulu Prices. Does not
the mention of a cut like this
one convince you that Quick
Sales and Small Profits is no
delusion OF snare? If it don't,
the CURTAINS will when you
look at them. The designs are
beautiful, the colors are beau
tiful. GLOVES are another
thing we want to call your at
tention to this week. CHAM

Why chndren Hang Their stockinr..

The custom of hanging stockings on
Christmas eve, like that of preparing
the Christmas tree, is derived from the
Germans, who have fable that while
the stockings Of good children are filed
with toys and sweetmeats by Khris
Kingle-a corruption of Christ Kindlin,
or Christ Child-those Of bad ones re-
ceive nothing but a small rod or switch,
which is placed in them by another per
sonage, known as Pelsnichol, literally
Nicholas with fur, meaning st. Nicholas
dressed in fur. It is rare sight on
Christmas morning IN German house
hold to see the expression Of abject mis-
cry and broken heartedness on the face
of some poor little wight who. having
been disobedient or otherwise naughty
on Christmas eve, finds in his stocking
only a small birch rod, while the hosiery
of his brothers and sisters is filled with
bonbons and playthings. The dread Of
getting the rod from old Pelsnichol on
Christmas keeps many a German child
IN order throughout the entire year.
