CHRISTMAS FAMILY DINNER.

How to Proven It's Being MonotOnOus
Affair.
One of the most unmitigated boreS,
sometimes, is the ordinary Christmas
family dinner party, where all the guests
know one another only too we'll, all have
heard the pet story of each of the 9TH
ers, and every subject of conversation
has been thoroughly rehashed on former
occasions of the same kind. The soul of
the family diner out longs for intellectual
novelty, and, alas, he finds it not.
This awful question of entertainment
at family feasts was very cleverly set
tied by one hostess last year, and the
idea is we'll worth repeating. She sent
out her notes of invitation, and in each
requested the recipient to appear in a
costume which would suggest the title of
some well-known book. Some of the
ingenious devices caused a great deal of
amusement and thus the dead level of
mOnotony was relieved.
The largest man in the family, stand
ing feet in his stockings, wore across
his chest a ribbon bearing the legend
''By Sir Walter Scott" he was the ''Tal-
isman," or talleSt man. Another, a
young girl this time, had for necklace
three blown eggs, on each of which was
painted ''Rome 3. c.. 500" and she was
finally found to represent the Lays OF
Ancient Rome" A little scrap of burned
candle was tied into one mans button
| hole with ribbon, and ''The Light that
| Failed was discovered to be his name
| These are only a few suggestions; re-
| course to the catalogue of a library vii
| offer many of more value.-NeW York

GREAT AGE OF PALMETTO TREES
Some of Those in Florida Said to be More
Than 800 Years Old.

Some of Those in Florida said to be More
Than 800 Years Old.
1t is well known fact thGt some trees
live 10 great age, the oak. elm, CEDAR
hickory, etc, but the palmetto trees of
the South, and particularly those along
the Indian river, Florida, are really a
curiosity for their long life. The older
k trees are gracefully straight. about forty
OF fifty feet high, having a diameter of
eight or ten inches, and so smooth that
they look as if they had been shaved
with q carpenters draw knife up to
about three feet of the green spreading
fam leaves, which form a top without a
single branch.
These trees are said to be from 800 to
500 years old, according to their height,
and are SO tough that they will bend al
most to the ground in a gale of wind.
then spring back to their normal position
again. Relatives of mine who have re-
sided on the Indian river for the past
thirty years say that the tnees have not
grown more than six feet during that
length of time.
4 curious fact about the cabbage pail
metto,'' as it is called, is that it grows
| only from the top, having. cabbageIike
head which, when young, is a palatabIe
food for man or beast, and if rifle ball
were to penetrate the center Of it, the

however, without injury to the tree, as
the nourishment from the roots passes

tire thickness of the body, to the head at
the apex of the tree.-Charles- Theodore

Cost will be Heavy.

First estimates of the cost of the Paris
exposition of the year 1900 are now pub
lie property in the report of the finance
commissioners, and they say that it will
take 100,O00,OO0 francs or som ething over
$20,000000 to get ready. This is much in
advance of the construction expenditures
of the Columbian exposition at Chicago,
which amounted to SIS, 1922, 622, but Chi
cago may remain at the head as the de-
tails cf expenditures there aggregated the
colossal sum of 500, $40, 537. The Paris
commissioners propose to meet their ex-
pense by issGing 3.250,O00 lottery bonds
of the value Of 20 francs each, emit
ting the holder to twenty tickets of adj
mission, the right to 25 per cent. re-
duction in admission to entertainments
within the exposition. and a reduction
in railway and boat fares. Then at tile
close holders of tickets will participate in
the distribution of cash prizes amounting
to 81. 100000. The French Nave genius
for raising money and tlsns plan is sug-
gestiye of the thrifty way in which they
devise exDedients to tap thousands of lit

and pronOunceS the green's worth 10 or
10 cents per barrel This is the way the
Christmas streamers are obtained.
Holly from England may be very good,
but holly from Jersey is the crispest,
daintiest, reddest-berried stuff that ever
graced a mantel. Jersey holly travels
all over. 1t is never cheap, and keeps
it's high price from the fact of the soft
climate of Jersey. The holly grows
slowly, gets very strong and green and
is supplied with berries of richer red
than that of other states-so the Christ
maS-tree man says.
All the mountainous sections of the
country are beginning to supply the
large cities with their trees But they
are less careful in the cutting. 1t takes
a great many streamers of popcorn and
a great many brilliant candles to hide
the defects upon the sides of these trees
where they have come down c'Whack
upon the ground. The few woodmen
who do know how to cut them are reap
ing fortune this year, for the demand
was never greater.
A Christmas tree takes five years to
grow. The woodman who raises them
can count upon going over the same strip
of land once every five years. This year
he takes his boy of 5 with him. Five
years from now he takes his boy again,
lad who can be helpful. Five years
later the boy begins to chop for himself
in the main spot, and still five years
later he is beginning to count upon the
proceeds of the Christmas trees from
this piece of land, and is reckoning upon
starting a little chap of his own in the
business. Thus few acres of pines,
upon which vigorous trees will grow,
will support a family from generation to
generation. world without end, as long
as Santa Claus lives.
