THE CHRISTMAS TIDE.

Christmas is close at hand, and the
gay scenes incident to the great holi-
day shopping carnival are once more
being enacted in our streets. This
feature of our Christmas keeping tends
to grow more CONSPICUOUS with each
recurrence of the festival.
Not to go and see the Christmas dis
plays in the store windows is to miss a
brilliant and instructive sight. They
are as gorgeous with color and as re-
plete with novelties as the tabled
bazaars of Bagdad. Nor is it worth
ones while to view this shopping car
nlval only as one of the large conner
ciaf facts of the time. 1t is much more
cheerful to regard it as manifestation
of the better side of human nature.
All the cynics to the contrary notwith-
standing, this vast volume of buying
and selling represents, in the main,
genuine Outpouring of ''the milk of
human kindness" The great mass of
Christmas giving is done in the true
Christmas spirit.
The multitude of Christmas shoppers
are seeking gifts for dear ones at home
or in distant places. Most of them are
not costly, but useful gifts, selected
with much anxiety to please the in
tended recipient. Such gifts are from
the heart as well as as from the purse.
They stand for love that is true and
friendship that is loyal They mock
the cynic's creed and confute the
pressimist's philosophy. They certify
the existence of g. vast reservoir of
tenderness and warmth in nearly all
human hearts, which needs only to be
unlocked by the key of the sOrcerer we
call Sympathy. to flood the world with
gracious and kindly deeds.
The legend of Santa Claus is bravely
sustained by this annual shopping fete.
For the time being the buying of gifts
at the stores and the carrying of bun
dies on homeward bound cars, boats and
trains are main duties of the hour.
And it is all being done in order that
the reputation of the good saint who |
conducts the Chimney Express on
Christmas Eve may be kept good. |
The weekly cartoons touch this all |
absorbing business of the week, and
shows us the typical head of the family
manfully under a heavy
load of bundles, and confidently saying
to himself: "That Santa Claus story is
a good one for the children, but 1 think
I know the fellow who really does the
work" 2"

Literary Notes.

Herbert D. Ward, the novelist and
husband of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Ward, has written new novel, which
will be the fiction feature of The Lad
1eS' Home Journal during 1897. It is
humorous story and has the unique
title of ''The Burglar Who Moved
Paradise. 1t is sequel to Mrs. Wards
IAN Old Maids Paradise" the hus-
band taking up the pen where Miss
Phelps had naturally to put it down
when she become Mrs. Ward.
Mrs. ROrer's magazine, Household
Ne'Os, has been absorbed by The Lad
teS' Home Journal in order to make it
possible for Mrs. Rorer to form an ex
elusive editorial connection with the
latter magazine. All of Mrs. Rorer's
literary work will hereafter appear ex-
clusively in the Journal, of whose
domestic department she will have en-
tire charge. Several pages of the mag
azine will be given her each month.
and in these she will begin by giving
new series of simple cooking lessons,
to be followed by domestic lessons
treating separately the care and ar
rangement of each room in house.
The January DemoresPs keeps to its
usual high standard of fiction; Gift of

Briscoe concludes her springly play,
"a Dinner Engagement" and in "Our
Girls" department is a humorous

periodical has for leading all others in
the practical helpful character of its
departments. Household" treats of
"The Weekly Mending" giving ex-
cellent suggestions for fine mending;
'Sanitarian" has practical talk con-
corning the teeth; and 'Home Art"
gives designs and instructions in the

VISIONS WHICH WARNED.
Two Instances Where Dreams of Horaes
and Pire Co,,o rv,o

Two Instances Where Dreams of Horses
and Fire Came True.
Dreams, like girls, "are queer. =" and
dreams wherein horses figure largely
take rank among the queerest. In the
year 1890 a gentleman entered a prom
ising PAGER for race to come off some
time during the summer. He was
speeding the horse on the last of the
snow and wrote to his wife, who was
visiting in distant town, that his
prospects for a race horse were ROSY.
That night the lady, although not espe-
olaIly an admirer Of horses, dreamed
that she was sitting in the stand watch
ing the finish of the race wherein her
husbands horse was to take part, Re-
plying to the letter, she said that his
horse would win the race, the last heat
several lengths ahead of q gray horse.
the only other one she saw in her dream.
and that the judge announced the time
2 2OA. The letter caused a good deal
OF amusement in the family during the
months previous to the race, and finally
when the day came five horses started.
among them being dark gray. The
dream came true in every respect,
the race being won in three heats. and
at the finish the gray was the only one
IN it, the rest just coming into the
stretch; time, 2:2OA. The dream | can
vouch for, as saw the letter weeks be.
fore the race took place.
Another gentleman, who was sleeping
at an inn beside the track where his
horses were stabbed dreamed, that he saw
the window of stall containing a val
liable young horse being stealthily open
ed from the outside Then fire flashed
and fell among the straw, revealing the
horses IN state of terror, paving and
snorting loudly. The dream was so
vivid that he awoke and fancied that
he could in reality hear the horse strik-
ing the walls of his stall. He partially
dressed and ran out, and not a moment
too soon. Some miscreant had thrown a
cloth burning and soaked with oil
through the window. This had ignited
the straw, and in a few seconds more
the horse must have persisted, though.
fortunately, as twas he was but slight
ly injured. -Trotter and PAGER.

The Expert Witness.

The present custom which permits
each side to call in it's own expert and
pay him for his testimony is calculated
to produce anything but expert testi.
mony unless the term expert applies to
manipulation of facts to suit his clients
case. 1t would be about as conducive To
justice II each side were allowed to re-
tain and Pay judge and jury of its
OWL In fact, the practice is SO obvious
~ calculated to defeat instead of aid
the ends of Justice that it is difficult to
see how it ever originated. The mere
TACT that a witness is employed and
PAID by the defendant or plaintiff un-
consciously enrOlls him on that side.
and there are few experts whose testi-
mony IS not modified by such an ar
rangement. This custom has led SO Of
ten to a Hat contradiction regarding
Facts between opposing authorities that
the general public has lost confidence in
such testimony. This is, of course. very
unfortunate, as it is beyond question
that man who has devoted his life tn
q study, for instance, of poisons and
their effects on the body is in a better
position to judge of the probabilities in
given case than the ordinary layman
or physician. Under a system where the
expert is called by the court no ques-
Eon OF bias could be raised, and science
would not be disgraced from time to
time by those who are willing to trade
on their scientific reputation. Popular
