Hungry and ragged and blue with
cold
The wind blows keen and loud
Her frozen fingers can scarely hold
The matches to the crowd.
And still, as faster falls the sleet
More piteous grows the cry
While the New Year bells are
Ginning sweet,
'"Oh, will you-will you buy?''
No more alone in the moonrise
gray,
With face so wan and white:
The little match girl has gone
away
% happy home tonight; .
For an angel came through the
crowded street,
flushing the tempest wild,
While the New Year bells chimed r.
loud and sweet.
And bore away the child! -

TOO FASTTO FEEL,
Workman Caught in Machinery Revolving
Sixty Times a Second.

An Anderson, Ind, special to the Chi
cago Chronicle says; Volney Moore, a
workman at the American Wire Nail
works, had marvelousIescape from death
last night.
While working around the machinery
he was caught on a line shaft that was
revolving at the rate of sixty revolutions
per second. He was whizzing around at
terrible rate when fellow workmen ran
to his rescue and stopped the wheel. 1t
is feared that he received internal inju
ries.
By unaccountable luck he was so
caught that his hands and feet in their
rapid revolution came in contact with
no obstacle. He is not able to tell the
sensations one has going around at the
rate of sixty revolutions per second.

In the oldon times Christmastjdo vas
essentially the season of sports, and few
relics of the oIden days are REQUIRED ia
with more zest by our fathers than tbe
nlrtnful games and the goodly froIics
winch were won't to usher in the DAYS
OF 'merrle Christmas. At the present
day. while Christmas parties and merry.
markings are still formed to render the
dark season Of December more enIivan-
ing and cheerful, yet the sports of
Christmas are very different now from
what they were 100 years or more ago.
True 1t is that hoodman blind, snan-
dragon and hunt the slipper still
survive to greater or less extent, but
the good old English merrymakings,
like the good old English melodies, ap-
pear to be banished from our doors. and
nothing is left of them but tradition.
Christmas was in it's best estate in
the days Of the good Queen Bess, and it
is pleasant reflection to think what
high jinks' Shakespeare, Ben Jonson
and the rest of that right merry crew
must have INDUCED in. Then was the
time When the boar head was brought
to the table amid the blare of trumpets
and the beating of drums, while the
whole company sang p@ans in its
praise. The brown October ale flowed
without stint, the fire blazed and crac-

OF Misrule, without whom Christmas
would be as nothing, put in practice all
the arts of which he was the master,
when the games lasted for a full month
and every one was made happy for q
twelvemonth
Only fancy "the worshipful master
Shakespeare" enacting the part of the
Lord of Misrule at the court Of Eliza
beth, while the queen aud Leicester and
Essex and Southampton and Pembroke
and Raleigh and that "ponderous sink
of learning" Bacon, and the whole
bevy of beauties took part in the reveI-
ries. All, those were brave timesl
What we call Christmas sports now
were in England Of very ancient origin,

A plan for rendering paper as tough
as wood or leather, it is said, has been
recently introduced on the continent. 1t
consists in mixing chloride of zinc with
the pulp in the course Of manufacture.
It has been found that the greater the
degree of concentration Of the zinc solu-

BEWARE TIE THIN BANANA.
1t Was Picked Too Soon and VIII Away
Prove Puckery and Sour.

When you are buying bananas, never
purchase the long thin ones unless yoa
want fruit which will pucker your
mouth. No matter how we'll rip4ned
these thin bananas may appear to bs
they will always be found both sour ard
acrid. This is because the bunch which
contained them was picked too soou.
The banana grows fastest at Erst in
length. When it has reached its fall
development in that direction, it sud
denly begins to swell and in a few days
will double in girth. 1t is at the end OF
this time that it begins to ripen natu-
rally and the effort Of the banana i'm
porter is to have the fruit gathered at
the last possible moment, and Yet before
the ripening has progressed even enough
to tinge the bright green of the fruit
with yellow. A difference Of "a hours
on the trees at this time Will make q
difference in the weight Of the fruit oI
perhaps 25 per cent, and all the differ
ence III its final flavor, between a puck
cry sour and the sweetness ana smooth
ness which are characteristic OF tho ripe
fruit. To get the bananas to our market
in good condition requires FAST steamers,
which must be provided with ventila
ton and other means of keeping the
fruit from ripening too fast in tho hold.
Much of the finest fruit does ripen in
the few days Of passage, and this is sold
to hucksters for street sale.-New York
