Eight letters addressed to Santa

to "Dod." meaning God. have been re-
celved at the Wheeling postohice. What
theme for poet like Eugene Field or
WhitcOmb Riley! With what care and
solemnity these mIssiveS must have
been placed in the mail boxes by the
childish writer's! Most Of them were
without postage. It Is a standing Joke
to deny there Is any sentiment in the
dead letter office. but when these let
tiers are opened and their touching
faith In the Deity and another who APP
pFoaches the Deity In all youthful
minds Is disclosed, who will dare say
tears OF sympathy may not drop and
perhaps blot out some childish wish?

Among the several beautiful calen-
dars issued by wheeling concerns, one
Of the most attractive IS that Of the
German Fire Insurance company. Fol-
lowing a custom of eleven years, the
company goes into Teutonic mythology
for its pictorial subject. the execution
OF which Is in brilliant colors. The title
Is ''Frlthjof Before King Ring" F'rithjof
a celebrated warrior OF Norway tof the
third century,. was in love with the
beautiful Ingeljorg. daughter Of King
BeIes After King Beles died his sons.
Hedge and Halfdan. refused 10 give
their sister Ingeljorg In marriage to
FrIthiof, and forced her TO marry old
King Ring. Frithjof was b1nished from
his country and went TO the court Of
King Ring. CHS arrival at Rings court
Is shown by the picture OF this calen-
dar). During the stay Of F'rithjof with
the king. the latter learned TO like and
esteem him and on his death gave him
his wife, IngeijorR, together with his
kingdom. Frlthjof and Ingeljorg were
afterwards married and went back to
their old home. where Frithjof con-
ouered his brothers-in-law, Hedge and

A Small Reward.

The engine driver who took charge
OF the train from Falkenberg to Leip-
sic on December 13 prevented an scci-
dent in very ingenious and plucky
manner. Between the stations Tor
gau and Mockrehna he noticed that
the rails running parallel to his own
were broken, and that the next train
that would pass over them must in
evitsbly be wrecked. He at once
wrote few words explaining what he
had seen and giving an exact descrip-
ton of the place, and when passing q
group of railway workmen he flung
the paper to them, which he had first
rolled round piece of coal. They
read the warning, sent kilograms to
the stations interested, the trains were
stopped in the nick of time, and the
accident happily prevented. This
praiseworthy conduct of the engine
driver was duly brought to the notice
of his superiors, and he has just been
rewarded with present of two shill-
ings. Even life is cheap in the
Fatherland. German Railway News.

cur,.a Hor.,haIr For Market.

South America furnishes the great
est amount and best quality of curled
horsehair, used for filling mattresses
aud stuffing furniture. On the wide
pampa many thousands of horses are
bred especially for the hair of their
names and tails. These, between the
round-ups, which sometimes do not
occur in three or four seasons, grow
to great length, but owing to the lack
of care and the state of the "camps, "
as the open country is called, the hair
is usually tangled in what seems an
inextricable mass. All over the camps
grow many kinds of burrs and thistles,
and the animals as they Craze or roll
themselves about become covered with
them. Their coats are naturally
Tough, the hair 6, owing in an uneven,
shaggy way. Stuck all over with
burrs and with name and tail matted
into nearly unwieldy masses, the poor
creatures present comical appear
ance. After they are shorn they seem
to delight in the freedom of cropped
necks and short tails.
The Hair when cut off is freed from
dirt and roughness of all kinds and
wound into ropes, by which means it
is made curly. 1t sell for 3S cents or
4S cents a pound. Tho longest
strands are kept separated, and used
for horsehair furniture, cloths, etc.

A House Set on Fire by a roultice.

Fire insurance companies have all
sorts of experiences and their officers
can tell many curious stories. One of
the queerest fires fell within the busi-
ness of the Connecticut Fire Insur-
ance Company, of this city, recently.
A house was set on fire by bath
tub and the tub was set on fire by
poultice. A man in Western city
was suffering from bad cold, and his
wife, at the doctors orders, prepared
a poultice for his chest. When she
started to put it on it proved to be too
hot Accordingly she took it to the
bathroom and set it into the bathtub
TO COOL This happened to be fine
tub lined with celluloid, which served
as a sort of enamel. The heat of the
poultice started the celluloid a-going,
and the burning tub set things going
generally. The department was called
out, and the house was we'll wet down,
fol which the company had to pay.
This, so far as is known, is the first
instance on record where bathtub
set house on fire or where poul-
tice kindled bathtub. Detroit Free

The influence of Good Example.

Every one OF us, no matter how obscure,
has an influence for good or bad in this
life. None of us lives for self alone; so
strangely are our lives interviewer with
those around us, and so interdependent are
we upon one another that even the weakest
of us has part to sustain, and a duty to
do in the world. For this reason we should
be most particular as to our words and
actions; for, all unknown to us, some one
else may be modelling his life atter.o,urs, ac-
cepting as his standard OF right and wrong
the opinions we express, and the way in
which we act.
In the matter OF drinking, particularly,
does each of us become either guiding
light or a stumbling block to our neighbor.
Because the evil OF drink is SO widespread,
our attitude in relation to 1t is of especial
Importance to those around US. And the
fact that we are, or are not, addicted to
drink, though at first sight it appears to
concern nobody except ourselves, may be
the means Of breaking down or building up
some ones character IN that particular
point. And the strengthening OF our fel-
low mems character in regard to liquor
should be one Of the gravest concerns OF US
all, whether as citizens OF the State whose
integrity is endangered by the drunkenness
OF its people, or as members of the Church
whose progress, humanity speaking, is ham
pered by the bad example shown in this re-
spect by her children.
Young men and women are growing up,
and the people with whom they associate,
as we'll as those whom they know even In
directly, have an influence in forming their
characters. 1t is our duty to so live that
we scandalize none OF these. 1t behooves
each and every one OF US TO take aposltion,
on the drink question, which shall conduce
to the glory of Good, the good Of His
Church, and the salvation OF souls.-Sacred

Remarkable Investigation From Which
the Lowell Diamond Bicycle Game
Out Ahead OF All Competitors.

Where there are so many makes OF BIZ
cycles on the market, all of which at first
sight seem to be on an equal footing to the
casual observer, and still the fact is well
known that there is no article in common
use where 1t is so easy for the manufactur-
er to cover up the imperfectlons as in the
bicycle, both in material and workman
ship, and which cannot be detected until
the machine has been given test on the
road. such an investigation as has just
been completed by the best experts In the
country, under the supervision OF the
Western Review OF Commerce, is likely to
be Of great value to the riding public. The
honor OF producing the best wheel among
the thirty-seven well-known makes that
were tested fell to the old established house
of John P. Lowell Arms Co., OF Boston, Mass,
manufacturers OF the celebrated Lowell
Diamond. The investigation was made
in thorough manner by competent ex-
perts in the construction Of wheels, and
before them were placed thirty-seven of the

Where All Kissed Their Escorts.

The diversions of New Workers of
the last century were very much mild
er than are those of the present day.
"In winter century ago, Mrs. Bur-
ton Harrison writes in the Ladies'
Home Journal, "when not assembled
for skating upon the Collech, the ia
vorite amusement of Hans and Katrina
seems to have been a sleighing frolic
in Jan Derickson's four-horse sledge
to Harlem, where they had dance
and supper at the hostelry of Myn-
heer Borsum. Ten couples packed
close, as it suiteth young men and
maidens to ride, said the old chroni-
cler) was the slsigh-losd; and after
repast of bread and hot chocolate,
concluding some hours capering to the
fiddlers' strains, the party returned
to town. Speeding bymoonlight over
hard-frozen roads, past manor house
and cottage wrapped in deep repose,
the chief adventure of the return was
apt to be a stop on the Kissing Bridge
lat Second avenue and Fiftieth street,
across the rivulet flowing from Tea
Water Spring., at which point custom
allowed the cavalier to demand of the
lady he escorted the privilege of
special salutation. Unless this toll
were yielded the cortsge came to a
halt, or else it turned in another di-
rection.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

The CameIs sNose-Interesting Statistics on
the Drink Habits ofthe Various Nations
Most Drink Consumed is Made
In the Country Where 1t is Absorbed.
THE Arabs have this proverb to warn
against letting bad habits begin: Beware
Of the camers nose."l
Once in a shop a workman wrought
With languid hand and listless thought,
When, through the open window space,
Behold, a camel thrust his facel
my nose Is cold" he meekly cried;
20, let me warm il by thy side!'
Since no denial word was said,
In came the nose, in came the head;
As sure as sermon followed text
The long and shaggy neck came next;
And then as falls the threatening storm,
In leaped the whole ungainly form.
Aghast, the owner gazed around,
And on the rude invader frowned,
Convinced, as closer still he pressed,
There was no room for such guest;
Yet, more astonished, heard him say,
"If thou art troubled, go thy way;
For in this place l choose to stay"
o, youthful hearts, to gladness born,
Treat not this Arab lore with scornl
To evil habits earliest vile
Lend neither ear nor glance nor smilel
Choke the dark fountain ere 1t flows,
Nor cen admit the camers nose.
