How to give, what to give, and where
to give? We sometimes sigh that these
are yexing questions; while it is our
privilege to comfort and delight in some
measure, we fretfully complain Of the
trouble it costs us to plan our gifts. But
if it suddenly became impossible for us
to give at all, we should know SO we'll
what we should like to give fit was
only possible!
Perhaps we expects host Of our own
warts gratiied, yet plan grud gingly and
carelessly for others. #
A gift that's hurriedlys selected at the
last moment is seldom suitable one,
and lacks the meaning that should give
it value. #'
Sensible people do not prize the gift
that is costly and valuable and that
represents large amount of money, but
which shows a knowledge of their needs,
tastes or fancies.
It is more necessary to put thought
into our gifts than either labor of money.
A young lady gave her brother sofa
pillow, and then remembered that he
had no sofa, and that her pillow was far
too delicate and pretty to be of use, even
if he had one; to her friend in distant
city, some china which smashed on its
Journey; a volume of Browning to her
practical merchant father, and a bit OF
expensive jewelry to the mother who
had fashioned with patient labor her
own gift, and whose careful economy
alone kept them from real want.
The strange and inappropriate gifts
that are every year bestowed might form
ludicrous list were it not for the pa.
thetic side of the story.
A little more time and thought, a
little more patient effort, would add a
value to our gifts that money cannot
give, and JOY to our hearts that comes
alone to those who lose sight of self in
some blessed sacrifice Of love.-Wil

THE POPULAR IDEA.

bat They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.
There is a popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional
needle in the bunch of hay, says Tit
Bits. Facts, however, do not substanti-
ate this theory any more than they do
the large majority of popular impress
siOnS
A great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding of seven
Russian exiles or prisoners, who had
made their escape from Siberia. They
were in an open boat in the Pacific,
and were taken TO San Francisco, where
they became the objects of popular
commiseration, as we'll as the text for
the denouncing of the Russian methods
OF dealing with political offenders. =.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work TO do. It now appears that
during the interval that has elapsed be-
tween their arrival in SAM Francisco
and now every one of them has been
punished by the law of the land. The
last Of the party has just been sentenced
to 81 years Imprisonment for burglary
while one of his comrades only short
time ago was hanged for two murders
which he had committed.
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent to Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him a corresponding
period of exile from the haunts of his
fellowmen if not absolute deportation
from the country in any other part OF
the world. &

1T LOOKED wARLIKE.
Spanish Minister Was Alarmed at a
Sensational JunlSet to Havana.

Spanish Minister Was Alarmed at a
Sensational JunlSet to Havana.
Senator Calls proposition for u con-
gressional investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the death of
Maceo reminded Senator Proctor of a
funny story, says the Washington Post.
Some years ago when the questions
of immigration and yellow fever and
cholera We're being looked into sub
committee of the senate was appointed,
consisting Of Senator's Proctor, Cham
dler and Call, to visit Havana. 1t was
just before the Christmas holidays, as
in this case, and visit to the Cuban port
in the winter season is not without it's
attractions. The proposed trip, how
ever, rather disturbed the Spanish min
lister. He knew the belligerent pro-
pensities of Chandler and Call and he
FASTENED to the state department with
dispatch from Madrid, anxious to
learn whether the Investigation was
proposed with peaceable intent.
Secretary Foster listened to the ex-
cited minister with great suavity.
'"There is no occasion for ALARM" he
said, reassuringly. "You know that
the holiday recess is approaching and
these senators are simply arranging for
apleasure trip. lam sure there's moth
ing else in it,"
A great light of intelligence broke
over the Spanish minister's face.
"Oh," he exclaimed, "a peek-neek, a
peels-neel1l"
And he went away much relieved.

LINcoLN.s HAT A FOOTBALL.
After the Result of the Election Had

SAAsCA AhC ANebuAt the GlectOn
Been Announced.
The faNorite hat worn by Abraham
Lincoln was tall "stovepipe." 1t has
been described as q foot high, with ~
brim almost as wide as southern SOM
brero. Many anecdotes are connected
with that famous tall hat. Init Mr.. Lin
coin carried many of his valuable pa
other documents, says the Youths Com
panion.
On the night.of Mr.. Lincoln's election
to the presidency several ladies who had
gathered at the old homestead at
Springfield testified their glee by using
the hat as football.
few of us went to assist Mrs. Lin
coin about the supper which was to be
given some gentlemen who had come
in to hear the returns. 1t was after mid
night before enough had been learned
to warrant the belief that our candidate
was elected. We went nearly wild with
joy and congratulated Mr. Lincoln most
heartily.
Some one saw the famous "stovepipe''
in the hall, and, Selling it, threw it up
to the ceiling. Another caught it, and
then it went the rounds till it fell on the
floor, when one gave it kick and then
another and another gave it send off
till it was SO battered that it had lost
all resemblance to it's original shape.
Mr.. Lincoln looked on and smiled good
naturally at the childish performance.

The quantity Of tea annually con-
sumed in the United States is 1O0,-
100000 pounds, and as no tea is grown
here. the proposed duty of ten cents
a pound should yield yearly reve-
nue. of $10,000,000. But as American
dealers have large stocks on hand,
and as they cabled heavy orders to
China and Japan as soon as the
proposition of the senate sub-com-
mittee became known, no revenue is
likely to be derived from tea. 1t is
probable that before the final enact
ment of the new tariff enough tea
will nave been imported to supply
the market till 1900, when by the
terms of the committee bill the tea
duty will expire. Tea of all grades
has already advanced from three to
five cents a pound, and what will re-
suit from the transfer of the article
from the free to the dutianle list will
be higher prices to consumers, in
creased profits to importers, and no
revenue to the government. Specu-
lators will be benefited at the ex-
pense of the people without adyant-
age to the public treasury. In this
tea matter the subcommittee has moi
made a creditable exhibition OF
craftsmanship Telegraph

A. STRANGE CASE.
Woman I'm ireland Who Changes
Cniar. INn-a1,,,

Woman I'm Ireland Who Changes
Color Every Year.
A remarkable freak of nature is oc-
casionally seen on the streets of Cough
Mac-Nai, Ireland, in the shape of a
woman who was born black il Jamaica
about As years ago. The woman, ac-
cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
says that she remained with the char
acteristic negro color to her skin until
she YVES % years of age, when she began
rapidly turning white, the complete
transformation being made in less than
three months.
She remained white for about a year,
and then turned black again, but more
slowly than the white Transformation
had come upon her. When this second
change in skin color took place she was
sure that she had returned to her orig
inal color, and would remain that hue
during the balance Of her life, but it
was only few short months until she
was again as white as an Albino. Since
that time the changes have yearly
taken place, the woman being black
one summer and white the next. She
suffers no pain whatever.

How a Donkey Found a Mine.

The history of mine discoveries in
the West is full of strange and anus
ing Incidents. Many of the most cele-
brated mines or lodges have been
found by accident. Some of these ac-
cidental discoveries are laughable in
the extreme. One of them occurred
in connection with the discovery of
one of the richest mines in the CGur
d'Alene country in Idaho. In this
case q common donkey or jackass or
"bnrro" as one chooses to term it,,
was credited with the finding of the
mine.
The Mother Pacific Railways finely
illustrated tourest book, Wonderland
'97. has chapter on mining in the
West, in which the incident alluded
to is given. 1t shows how, from slight
or trivial things, great results may
flow. There are also articles on Yell
lowstone Park, Alaska, cattle raising
etc. BY sending six cents in postage
stamps to Chas. S. Fee, Gen. Pass
Agent, st Paul, Mimi, anyone can
obtain copy of this book. 1t is full
of historical fact and descriptive mar
rative, and valuable as school text
book.

The Greatest Trottin g Family

From table of statistics recently
sent out bv The American rrottipg
Register Association, it appears that
70 stations have sired two or more
2:l5 trotters. Only have sired seven
or more ana of this select band,
Robert McGregor, 2:l7a, is the leader,
having ELEVEN to his credit. Earn
ing for himself in his racing career
that most significant title, "Monarch
of the home stretch" he has now
passed all sires living or dead in that
crucible test of merit, begetting trot-
tiers able to go "A mile in 2:15. He is
conceded to be the most potent con-
troller Of action known in trotting
history and it is to this family we
must go for the best results in pro-
ducing trotting-bred carriage horses
as well as high class trotters. No
other family has SO little inclination
to pace, the gait that spoils the value of
an animal for sale as high stopper ut
q high price. The McGregors are knee
actors, it is a family trait; they have
size, substance, action, even develop
ment, or two ends on them, and heavy
clean bone. No better bred son of
Robert McGregorli lives than the horse
advertised in these columns, Bay Nc
Gregor. He will control action more
powerfully than his sire because the
sire of his dam, the great Clay horse,
Alexander, 2:19, achieved as much
fame in Europe in this direction as
Robert McGregor has in America.
Because in his grandeur, Lady Frank,
the trotting instinct was so strong
that when bred to Geo. Wilkes she
conquered the pacing inclination and
produced Jay Bird who is less of
pacing sire than any other member
of his family. Observe, there is size,
action, and speed at the trot in every
cross near or remote in Bay McGreg-
or's pedigree. A few wears from now
every market buyer who visits this
section will be asking for Bay Nc
Gregors, shall you have one? In the
near future he will rank as the most
successful speed sire in the history of
this section. This is assured by the
early speed his progeny exhibit. l
have recently sent out several hun
dred sale circulars Offering some
speedy youngsters by Bay McGregor
and the bids are nonrino in from
many different states assuring the
unqualified success of the sale. If
you are interested in my methods
and desire to see copy of my sale
circular l will send you one upon
application. l have sold scores of
horses for my patrons at good prices
in this manner. NJ. T. GRATrAN.
