playing to poor business in Adelaide
the manager tried to better things by
going across the street and inviting Il
party of twenty miners to come and
see the show free of expense. After
some demur they consented to come,
but when inside the theatre the walk
ing delegate of the party approached
the manager and demanded of him to
know how much they were to be paid

SENDING PRESENTS

A word about the manner of sending
Christmas gift. A dainty wrap
ping will give holiday air to the little
remembrance that will add greatly to
it's value. The prettiest way to dress
a Christmas gift and the one that
sayors most of sleighbells and freshly
fallen snow is to wrap the parcel in
glistening white French tissue paper
and tie with silver cord or scarlet
ribbon, slipping a bit of crisp holly
or mistletoe through the knot and
then fastening in bow. Natural
flowers are also used. For example,
a dainty box containing a gift for
tiny child is wrapped in snowy paper
and tied with white satin ribbon OF
the narrowest width, through which is
thrust a bunch of tiny rosebuds, their
ends just turning pink. In using flow
ers their color should always follow
the color scheme of the gift as far as
possible.

NEW YORK WAITS IN KANSAS.
People There Object to Being Supplied
With That Kind of Help.

Reports come from Kansas that
some people there strongly object to
the sending among them of New York
city waits, and that they intend to
take steps to prevent the practice.
The waits referred to- are sent by the
Children's Aid society, which has sent
out during it's forty odd years of ex-
istenee 81 Alb children. The society
has tried sending these children to
the south and to New England, but al
ways to secure homes for these chill
west. 1t admits that it is difficult al
ways to seure homes for these chill
dren, but says it takes every possible
precaution against sending out vicious
ones. New York has thousands of such
strays. They apply in far greater
numbe than homes can be found for
them. The society, as far as it is
able, sends them to schools ana homes
of it's own to learn what sort Of a wait
the applicant is. If a boy, he is sent
upon a farm. Each child is given
trial. Only those that prove worthy
during this trial are recommended to
farmers in the west. And the fact
that during the past twenty years all
but about per cent turned out well is
pointed to by the society as proof that
it takes a reasonable amount of care
in learning what sort of child it as
sists Even after children are placed
in homes, agents of the society visit
them to- help the foster parents to
care for them. Those that find homes
in Kansas do the best of all, and the
society regrets that opposition so regu-
larly develops there to the receipt of
them. 1t feels that if the people
could realize better the great work
and what it accomplished there would
be less opposition. Help, and not
criticism, is needed. The Children's
Aid society also helps families to
reach the west and to get start there.

THE HEAD OF THE HERD.

Daniel Munroe says: Ike most i'm
portant of all selections is the head OF
the herd The bull we breed from
should combine as much concentration
of the very best family records as we
can possibly buy or breed. The value
of a good bull was finely illustrated
last summer, when one of the largest
diaries in the province was disposed CT
at public sale-95 head of young
things, three generations, bred from
the herd and sired by choice
thoroughbred bull, were offered, and
brought prices that must have been
gratifying to the owner in return for
his investment, while the purchasers
were equally we'll pleased with their
end of it. But that was not The end;
the influence of that bull will live on
for many years scattered over the
province to the great benefit CT the
dairy interest Moral: Don't look at
the dollars too long when you need
good bull.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Further de
tails Of the killing Of two American
sailors attached to the Unithaa State:
feet in Japan have been received here
and brought to the attention OF the
state department, which has begun an
investigation. Montgomery, it ap-
pears, was killed in Yokohama, Sep
TENDER 2, last. He was not intoxicated.
but was murdered by boatmen. Epps'
case was similar, except that he was
killed at Nagaska during the present
month. The testimony gathered
shows that he was perfectly sober.
Japan was applied to in each case, and
while some arrests were made, the
American contingent in Japan feels
that the murderers are still at large.
The officials of the Japanese legation
do not regard the matter as serious.
They say that the cases are similar to
a number which have occurred in the
western states, in which Japanese sub
jects have been assaulted by mobs
Several of the latter cases are now
pending before the state department.

The mystic mistletoe bough then as

SWANS, and the maids were willing
sufferers. The sacred mistletoe was
regarded with religious veneration by
the Druids, and it's berries Of pearl as
symbols of purity and associated with
the rites of marriage. From this the
transition was but slight to the kiss
beneath the caba1istic Dough. This
traditional sacredness, the genesis of
which is unknown, has endured
through the ages, and today for man
and maid to meet beneath the mistle-
toe gives the right to a sacred kiss

EXECUTIONS WE'RE COSTLY.
Bills for Tcrturing and Killing PEG
pie Formerly Paid in Holland.

Edam, in Holland, where the Dutch
cheese comes from, has just opened a
museum of local antiquities, and
among the not least interesting of the
exhibits are the accounts of the NUM-
cipal 6xecutioners during the eight
zenith century. One OF these function
aries, by name Vogel, presents a de-
tailed bill, dated Dec. 10, 1713, in
which he sets forth claim for 6 forms
for one decapitation and forms each
Tor a sword and winding sheet, with
forms Is cents for q coffin for the
ydecapitated one. His charge for hang
ing a criminal was also forms, with
the further addition of forms for
cutting down and impaling ditto"
Breaking man on the wheel" was a
cOstlier luxury and ran to forms,
while for suppling mine new lashes
for scourge'' the charge was 27 forms.
On the whole, however, Mr.. Vogel
was moderate man in his charges or
the value of human life went up a
good deal in the next fifty years, for in
the no less circumstantial accounts of
JOudHu0S fAd, pIGoenCS& On nus II;

for going on beard the Hans and
preparing instruments of torture with
with a like charge for ''torturing one
person" But this must have been for
the lesser torture" only, as on Aug.
80 the same Johannes sends in a bill
for "torturing three persons at rs
f1orins head"-total, 225 forms,
while a few days later no less than 500
forms is charged for hanging four
persons, at $50 forms each,'' and for
fogging two persons and burning a
third he eXacts $50 forms. Clearly
considerations of economy, if not Oh
humanity, must have tended toward
