ohristnnas In Russia.

Children in Russia have way of eel ebrating Christmas that is quite differ ent from that of American boys and girls. In certain part of Russia it is customary for the little people to dress to represent animals and go running about town like wild beasts. Sometimes they represent wolves, bears and even ostriehes Of course this is done by dressing in the skins of wild beasts. The boys who are not disguised as ani= mals pretend they are the keepers. Some of the party play musical instru- ments. Others carry torches, and alto gether the sight is very weird. They go to every house and give an entertain ment Then, of course, the inmates of fer them refreshments at the end of the performance.
 At other places in Russia religious entertainments are popular. These. en- tertainmen5s are given i'll a small play house with marionettes (the little fig ures made to act by means of strings), One boy carries the small theater on his shoulder. Another carries brilliant banner and another long pole, to the end of which is fastened 0 lantern. These lanterns are arranged something like the ones used in political parades i1r this country. The sides are transpm'- ent, and on them are sketched scenes representing the Christian history of the day

This is q formidable array, but Mrs Sutro does not attempt to attend all the meetings of these clubs. Otherwise they would occupy all her time, and she would have none left for her Home club, :" which, she says, interests her more than any cf the ethers.

Woman Referee.

Tho presence of q woman referee at a recent auction sale has opened the eyes of some old lawyers to the danger of further inroads by the sex upon time hallowed privileges and perquisites. If a woman car boldly mount the rostru1 and coolly watch the audience bidding frantically for tenement house. why can she not act as commissioner to open streets and parks, and even ascend the bench and reach the court of appeals? In fact, if the encouragement of woman lawyer is going to be the fad itwou ] be well for all firms of lawyers to add q woman to the partnership, and thus meet competition. Old practitioners seq that the time to resist the admission Of women to tho bar has passed, and thej must bow to the inevitable, just as did the car drivers few years ago when the cable was substituted for slow horses. - Jewish Messenger

Two Sad Deaths.

Mr. add Mrs. Gordon D. Greenfield have received the sad intelligence of the death of the latter's sister and brother-in-law at Huntsville, Ala.
 The deaths of the deceased Mr. and Mrs. J. Kleber Miller-were at- tended with remarkably sad and distressing circumstances. Mrs. Mill Ter took sick about two weeks before her husbands death and during his absence. During her illness Mr. Miller returned and at once became aware of his wife's criticalcondition, and through worry and distress soon became ill himself. In a few days the wife died while the hus- band was also seriously i'll. When informed of his wife's expiring gasp in an adjoining room he begged by islanders 10 convey to her the infor- nation that he would soon join her Gin tAe other world" and four days after his wife's burial, Mr. Miller also passed away.
 In ehronicling Mr. Millers sad death. the Huntsville (Ala.) Tribune says:
 ''In the journalistic career of the editor of the Tribune, we have never before been confronted by death so sad that language availeth not, and words still-born and useless in a fruitless effort to bespeak the grief of the community, but such a death is that of natures nobIeman-J. Kleber Miller.
 Truly has the strong man, the gentleman, the loyal friend, the brother, the loving father, fallen in the zenith of his life and usefulness. Stricken by disease and crushed by grief, he had to go, had to leave those he loved on earth to follow the gentle spirit of his wife, who, but few days before left him to join the angels forever 1t is sad and tender thought, that this afternoon two silent mounds of earth, covered with flowers, " hich are but the sweet ex- pressions of loving friends, will mark the last resting place of J. Kleber Miller and his gentle wife, Minnie Landmad Miller. both of whom but a few days ago were surrounded with every happiness which made the home of i,.an perfect. Still the blow has fallen, and the stricken house. hold culver and groan with inex- pressible, helpless grief.
 When tomorrow's sun breaks away from the bosom of darkness, bathes picturesque Monte Suno with it's golden rays of light, it will never look upon our silent city of the dead, which has been the scene of so many deep sorrows, sadder scene than upon those two newly made graves, where the young and hopeful hus- band and father, and gentle and sweet wife and mother sleep the eternal restful sleep. In life nothing was more beautiful than their path way, in death, nothing can be more sacred, more loving, than their sleep. This afternoon when the sad cor tege of friends turn to leave those silent graves, they must be impressed that all which is desirable and beau tiful, all that can make life happy, can be snatched away in the flash of a moment. still they must be inn pressed that in the life and character of J. Kleber Miller and Mrs. Miller there was all that was beautiful and perfect. :"
