AMERICAN CAVIAR.
You Must Lay in Supply for Those Dainty Sandwiches.

You Must Lay in Supply for Those Dainty
 .i Sandwiches.
 From Europe comes the warning note to the gourmands of the world to provide themselves as early as possible with their supply of Russian caviar. During the latter part of the last month a good quality of caviar brought from $3 to $4 g. pound in Astrakhan, and since this years output is but very small it will become very much dearer. Although many peo- pie have tried to explain the small quan- tity of this years output with various reasons, the only reason which the prac- tical Russian will admit Is that the stur- geons do not want to be caught. The October catch was so poor that the Rus sians expect to be out of caviar before Christmas. Europe is, however, alive to the fact that American caviar coming from the United States, more particularly from California, Washington and Dela- ware, is to be had in large quantities. A pound of this American product brings about $1 in Hamburg, and in it's present appearance and taste differs but very little from the Russian product. The only safe means of distinguishing the origin of the caviar Is its color. which, in the American, has a brownish appearance, while the gray pearls of the Russian caviar are preferred by the con- noisseur.

swelled 1t with harmony as unpremedi- tated as that of so many songbirds in the hedgerow. Only Great Jones was silent, and the matrol missing his shrill treble, looked wonderingly at the rebellious red head.
 Had she known it, a mighty struggle was going on in the heart of Great Jones. As the prayer ended it had suddenly flashed across his mind that on the very night of the Peter P. Mulcahy parade Betsey Ann had watched with him from the window, and that she, too, had ex- pressed a wish to own a drum. Then, too, only a few days before Betsey Ann had divided with him her last two gum drops, the gift of a visitor. And here he was going to take the drum away from Betsey Ann.
 The hymn began, but Great Jones was not singing. The pulses in his temples were throbbing furiously-his poor little head seemed to spin round and round.
 "Harryp
 The voice was that of the matron. Officially, Great Jones was known as Harry in the house; but even the fa- miliar voice did not make him look up. Then the matron ceased the hymn, and, stepping rapidly down between the beds, took the child in her arms.
 Why Ha--(ireat Jones', she said, what can be the matter with you?"
 Then the fioodgates were opened and Great Jones burst into a passionate tor rent of tears. With his head upon the matron's shoulder he sobbed out his aw- full confession.
 "I--I stayed up to c-catch Santy Claus an take the drum fr-from him. Yes

near the door of the long, warm dormi- tory, sidled out into the hallway and hid his white-robed form behind a conven- lent window curtain. He feared not cough or cold. All he hoped for was to escape observation and meet Santa Claus with the drum
 But fate and the matron were in Great Jones's way Just as he had ensconced himself behind the curtain the matron happened to look out of the dormitorY and caught sight of the white night gown and the tell tale bare feet. Thus was Great Jones discovered and hauled for the night into the dormitory once more. His soul rebelled, but he went with the matron nevertheless, and, rather sulkily, knelt down like the other children to pray.
 It was a strange and withal winning scene, that presented by the dormtory Around the brightly papered walls was festooned greenery galore. Rows and rows of small cots, each white as the snow on the roofs overhead, filled the long, low room. And in the open central

An old-Fashioned Lover

One of the originals of Moliere's ''Les Precieuses Ridicules," that delicious sat ire on Lar Maison Rambouillet, was Mademoiselle Julie d'Augennes. She was considered altogether charming and much incense was burned before her by the frequenters of the Salon. One New Years morning she received a unique and exquisite tribute of admiration. It was dainty autograph volume entitled the Guirlande de Julie" garland was painted on the outside; within, on one of the vellum pages. would be lovely flower from the garland, on the opposite an original poem. Nineteen poets and nine teen artists were represented. This
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-22

book is stil in existence, and was lately sold at a price representing 1000 francs for each page. This was devised by the Marquis de Montausier, whose long WOOL ing of Julie was the passionately inter esting romance of the Salon. He was soldier brave and true, and he won laurels again and again on the field of battle, returning from each campaign only to have his probation continued CT of war and was ransomed by his mother for 10000 crowns Julie was 8 years his senior. At the age of 3S she welded him, doubting even then whether she had known him quite long enough. Julie d'Augennes, then Madame de Mon- tausier, presided over the Salon in it's later years.

ly tree stands Is one of the most mag niicent apartments in the world. Be- sides the tiny porcelain candles of white and pink and blue, the light pours out from stars and snowy white lily cups in pleasing contrast to their bright red ber- ries and the glossy green leaves of the. holly tree.
 Gold and Silver Toys.
 The fruit of the tree is rich indeed for 1t is all of gold and silver. Toys of such precious metal are new thing to Ameri- cans, but in quaint old Holland they have been played with for hundreds of years. Each family of importance in the old Dutch land has these toys, which, being indestructible, are handed down from father to son and from mother to daugh- ter through generations. Bunched with gold-colored ribbons, these wonderful silver toys hang from every little twig and branch of this generous tree.
 Tiny coffee pots, sugar bowls and creamers of varying shapes and designs, daintiiy shaped chairs for dolly to sit quite tablespoonful of milk or choco- late are for the especial delectation of the little maids, who play tea party with their dollies. For the lads there are cleverly wrought animals, goats drawing wagons, storks with a chariot of baby storks, dogs barking furiously with only their heads showing beyond the protect ing door of the kennel, and rocking horses, all of dimnutive size, but wrought with all the skill which grown up critics would demand. At the foot of this tree are placed the toys too large to hang upon the tree, and these are all for the little Astor child.
 But the present of all presents to the favored boy is notein the house at all, but safely guarded in the famous Astor stables. It is a real live pony of the gentle, intelligent Shetland breed; it's coat is as silky as fine lady's seal-skin sacque, and its eyes are almost human in their softness
 Along with all of the juvenile million aires, William was carried by his nurse to the horse show. The little Shetland ponies won his childish heart, and he by the promise that Santa Claus would, without fail, bring him one at Christ mas and Santa Claus has brought it, as he will bring all of the temporal good things of life to this fortune-favored lit tie 4-year-old
 In the name of this little child, and as his guests, many little children gather about Christmas trees in all quarters of this great city. Though the gifts will not be of gold or silver, they will be just as welcome to the little toyless tots who will clasp to their hearts the long-looked- for dolly or the big red sled. Into the wards of the great hospitals, so rich in healing and blessing. carefully chosen toys will come on Christmas morning as a thank offering for this little golden haired boy who lives in great white palace and has wonders from land and sea from all countries the whole world over to rest his beautiful eyes upon

 "No," smilingly answered the happy matron, It's your own-your very own, Great Jones. Santa Claus must have heard you last night, for he brought two drums-one for Betsey Ann and one for you"
 The Peter P. Mulcahy parade was quite outdone during Christmas week, when Great Jones woke the echoes with the resounding rataplans he beat on his brand new drum through the house of industry corridors

 He was a rebel. The whole world seemed to have gone wrong with him. His lips pouted and he had to shut his blue eyes tight to keep back the scalding tears. For, after all he was to be cheat ed out of his drum
 The comedy matron led the prayers and all the sweet childish voices followed her in unison.
