 Next Tuesday is Christmas. It is a day of general rejoicing among christian people ot all countries, and to the children, especially is it a day of all days. They anx- lously y await its coming for weeks beforehand and when the supreme moment arrives, the little fellows are first on deck, with arms full of toys and mouths full of tin-horns. To the old folks, properly appre- ciated, it is day for religious ob- servance and genuine christian re- joicing; but to the youthful ele- ment of society the only apparent fact is that their fancy is tickled and they have their whims more abundantly supplied on this day than any other. Let the day be properly enjoyed by all. We wish both old and young the fullest measure of happy Christmas pleas ures.

Yellowstone Park Vandals.

The vandal, with his barbarous
and active knife and pencil, who has
an insane longing to associate his
meaningless name with the great
places of nature and history, has not
80 free hand in the Yellowstone res
ervation as he enjoyed before the
park was guarded by the soldiers of
the United States army. 1t has been
the custom of this creature to carve
his initials ON the front of the ter
races and to write his name in the
liquid left in the pools after a geyser
has been playing. Years after the
writing in the water the name is
legible and the pencil marks are
fresh, so slowly do the geysers build
up their deposits.
The Upper Geyser basin is so miles
from Fort Yellowstone, at the Mann
moth Hot Springs. The telegraph
is the enemy of offenders the world
over, and if a tourist writes his
name in pool, he may be reasonably
certain that the fact will be tele-
graphed to the post through which
he must pass when his trip is done,
and there he is very likely to meet a
captain of cavalry, who will hand
him a rubber and send him back so
miles under guard to erase his
name.-London Million.

Nathan HaIe's Sweetheart.

The story that Nathan Hale's sweet
heart died unmarried is not correct.
Her name was Alice Adams, and she
married Eleazer Ripley, and after his
death William Lawrence. She died
in Hartford in 1S45 at the age of S8.
Her granddaughter, who was with
her when she died, testified to the
truth of the story that in her last
hours her mind reverted to the love
OF her youth, and she family uttered
the words, Write to Nathan" 1t
was her last utterance.

How the Liberty Bows Did 1t.

1t will be remembered that a dozen
or more of the collisions between the
British and the Liberty Boys of New
York just prior to the active out
break of the Revolution grew out of
the posting of incendiary bills and
broadsides
The manner in which these bills
were posted is curious. According t0
the diary of John Parks, written in
1775, the work was accomplished in
the following manner:
1.-THE method lately used in New
York to post up infammatory hand
bills was the same used in England
at the time of the Pretender 1t was
done by a man who carried little
boy in a box like magic lantern,
and while he leaned against the wall,
as if to rest himself, the boy drew
back the slide, pasted on the paper
and shutting himself up again the
man took the proper OCCASION to walk
off to another resting place. New
York Herald.
