In some houses the little children who
go to bed early put out their shoes and
stockings and find them crammed with
presents in the morning. Others have
to play game of hide and seek for
their presents, which the father and
mother have hidden in the most mystic
rious manner and in out of the way
places. In great many families how
ever, Dec. 3 is celebrated by sending
and receiving parcels in the evening of
that day. Parcels must be taken here

or an old lady or a queer animal, con-
sisting chiefly Of wood or of linen filled
with sawdust, in which the present,
sometimes one of very small dimen-
sions, lies concealed. Funny little
rhymes often accompany the parcels,
and generally much good natured teas
ing is contained in the poetical lines.
The patience of some people is often
sorely tried by parcel consisting of a
big ball of very fine cotton, which has

The sultan seems to have a curious
mingled liking for and dread of cleo
tricity. Mr.. Burgin tells in Cassell's
Magazine that some years ago he caused
to be erected in the grounds Of Yildiz
kiosk small theater lighted by mean
descent lamps. One day he saw the
workmen trenching the walls in order
to bury the wires leading from the en-
CINE room to the theater and stopped
the work, insisting that the wires
should all be placed in sight on poles,
a. he feared that otherwise they might
be used to produce an explosion. He
had also an electrical boat on small
lake, an English dogcart driven by cleo
tricity, and a tiny electrical tramcar,
upholstered in blue satin and gold,
which runs in circle. 1t is said that
he has never yet ventured inside any of
these vehicles, and also that he has for
hidden the use of telephones in Con-
stantinople lest murderous conspiracies
should be devised over the wires.

There never could be born a man e.
sentially great who did not like TO laugh
or Ia make at least others smile. Even
Schopenhauer and Nietzche could crack
their grim jokes There is nothing in
compatible in that drollery which EN-
erson at times INDUCED in. In The Fo-
rum Mr.. Henry ID. Lloyd thus descants
ON Emerson:
A pleasantly recorded of him is a
story he told of friend who carried a
horsechestnut to protect him from rheu-
matism. He has never had il since
he began to carry il, and indeed 1t ap-
pears to have had retrospective opera
ton, for he never had it before" An
English friend tells me that while with
Mr.. Emerson in his garden discussing
some problem Of life Mrs Emerson call
ed to him for some wood. Emerson went
to the wood pile. When he came back.
he said, with his wonderful smile,
Now, we will return to the real
things"
When Oliver Wendell Holmes asked
him IL he had any manual dexterity, he
illustrated his want Of it by replying
that he could split single four ways
with one nail, (which" says Dr.
Holmes, "as the intention is not to
split it at all in fastening it to the roof
I took to be confession of inaptitude
for mechanical work In later years
he lost his memory of the names of
things Once he wanted his umbrella,
but could not recall the word. But he
got around the difficulty. Il can't tell
its name, but 1 can tell its history
Strangers take it away" His daughter
ran in one day to ask who should be in
vited to join their berry picking party.
"All the children" he said, from 6
wears To 90 "
