PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS.
Giving of Gifts at Festive Season
Should Be Much Simplifed.f

Giving of Gifts at Festive Season
Should Be Much Simplifed.f
In the December Ladies' Home Jour-
nal Edward Box writes in vigorous
depreciation of the complicating of
Christmas. "Much as we need SIM
plicity in all the phases of our living"
he contends, "its greatest need is some
times felt at Christmas. And it seems
pity that we cannot make begin
ming there. We could if we would
simplify this question of presents; if
we would leave out of our considera-
ton all but the natural promptings of
our hearts. If ever material considera-
tions should be dismissed from our
minds and lives, it should be in con-
nection with Christmas. If ever our
friends should see our hearts-our real
inner selyes-it should be on Christ
mas day; not that we should be other
than our real selves on other days; but,
as it is, we are not our actual selves
on the day OF all days when we should
be.
"See how we strive that our present
OF. this year shall surpass the one we
gave last year! See how irstinctively
we think of the material value of what
we give and actually of what we re-
ceiye! See how we wrong ourselves by
leaving needful things undone and in
viting illness because We feel we must
give something Of our own making to
friend, when really sigh goes into
each stitch, instead of being frank with
ourselves and pleasing our friends in
flnitely more by being frank with
them and purchasing something at far
less cost to our health! Every woman
knows what I mean by this-the great
evil of making things for Christmas
presents when really neither the time
nor the strength can be spared. In
much the same way we complicate
Christmas at the table"

DR.. Cox goes on to tell of the difficulty
they experienced in making their way

outside the bay. they commenced to have
fears for the safety of Yahutat. as they
could see places where the tidal wave
had left its mark fully 60 feet up the

ues DR.. Cox. after getting in behind
the islands, though. we began to have
hopes. and the farther we went the surer
we were that the town was well enough
protected by the islands to escape, and so
we found it when we arrived. about 6 p.
m. Thursday night. To be sure, we found
nearly the whole toSn camped on the

A Coney Island Man Who Did the
Ferocious.
The wild man who since early in June
has been exhibited in the Sea Beach Pal
ace, Coney Island, changed his quarters
one day last week to another part Of
the island. and when the news got about
that the big cage was to be moved
through Surf avenue to its new location
that thoroughfare was in very short
time crowded with people who were anx-
ious to get look at the wild man with
out having to pay the regulation fee Of 5
cents. The manager of the exhibition had
thought of a great advertising scheme.
however, and the wild man was sent to
his new home near the observatory by
another route. In the car, the sides of
which had been knocked off. was the
cage, and the wild man could be seen
making an attempt to break the iron bars
and dashing his head against the sides.
Six men were poking at the man with old
muskets and clubs. and he was uttering
some terrible yells. The cage finally
reached its destination in good shape, and
the show was again opened by the bark
er, who stationed himself outside a tent
and said something about the widest

Upton ON THE YACHT RACE
Sir Thomas Writes of His Attempt
to Win the Old Trophy.

Sir Thomas Writes of His Attempt
| to Win the Old Trophy.
Sir Thomas Upton contributes an ar.
ticle entitled "After the Yacht Race" to
The North American Review, which
was published recently. Sir Thomas
has this to say of his recollections in
America:
II went to America with high hopes
lf winning the cup and with the expec-
tation of a friendly reception. My
hopes have been disappointed, but my
expectations have been far exceeded.
Never can forget the thousand and
one acts of good will shown me during
my stay in American waters nor the
multitude of friendly faces that watched
my departure from her shores. l did
not win the cup, but I did secure a
much better token-that of the abiding
brotherhood of our two peoples.
ut was my good fortune to be pres
ent at the welcome given to Admiral
Dewey and to have place in that Won
derful procession, for which the two
jubilee professions in London had only
partially prepared me, so that l had
before me this great object lesson Of
Americas fervent patriotism and Of
Americas generosity of good feeling
toward myself as the representative of
another country. 1t was impossible
not to be impressed by the one senti-
ment and the other and doubly so by
their existence in harmony together.
''The Shamrock bore her name with
a purpose. Yet she had no warmer
wishes for her success in Ireland than
she had In England, in Scotland or in
Wales. She had the colonies, too, to
wish her good luck She rode triumph
antly over any seas dividing our own
peoples. She gave up solidarity at
home. Perhaps the uses of the race
did not end wholly with this agreea-
BILE example of unity between the three
Kingdoms or with the amity it exhibit
ed between England and America. If
the book Of Job had to be rewritten,
q windless day off Sandy Hook, while
two yachts were waiting to pit against
each other their vast eXpanse of sail,
might serve the purpose of the allie
CORY. That was school of patience
in which it is something to have grad
uated, as did we who planned the race
and as did they who assembled to see
it.
II have really nothing to add except
one more most grateful acknowledge
ment of all the pleasure and instruc-
ton !. derived from the whole episode
"a pleasure with so many ramifica-
lions that the failure to lift the covet-
ed cup seemed hardly to diminish it."

Mourning Envelope. Excluded.

A strange order has just been issued
by the French postoffice and a strange
justification given for it, says the Lon
don News. Henceforth mourning en-
yelopes are not to pass through the
post. The note paper may have rs
deep an edge as the sender desires. but
the cover must be white or may be tint
ed, but at least is not to have black
edge. 1t is not that the department is
out of sympathy with the expression of
mourning by means of stationery. On
the contrary, the sending of mourning
cards is a decided source of revenue.
1t is that experience has shown the
postoffice authorities that mourning en-
velopes are easily tampered with. They
tan be opened, and if the gummed edge
Is torn or frayed in the process little
ink rubbed over the black surface
makes everything look right. A white
envelope so interfered with would tell
its own tale.

JoUBERT BEFoREbTHE WAR.

| What British Correspondent
Thought of the Boer Leader.
The Pretoria correspondent of the
London Chronicle, writing about Gen
eral Joubert before the Boer war,
says on
sit must have been the next evening,
as we were waiting three or four
hours as usual for the line to clear,
that General Joubert came up in a
special train. A few young men and
boys in ordinary clothes formed his
staff The general himself wore the
usual brown slouch hat with Grape
band and blue frock coat, not luxu-
riously new. His beard is now quite
white, but his long, straight hair is
still more black than gray. The brown,
sallow face is deeply wrinkled and
marked, but the dark brown eyes are
still bright and look out upon the
world with a kind Of simplicity min
gled with shrewdness or, perhaps,
some subtler quality. He speaks Eng
lish with a piquant lack Of grammar
and misuse of words.
when Travelled with him next day,
almost the first thing he said to me
was, The heart of my soul is bloody
with sorrow His moderating infiu-
ence on the Kruger government is well
known, and he described to me how he
had done his utmost for peace. But he
also described how, bit by bit, Eng
land had pushed the Beers out of their
inheritance and taken advantage Of
them in every conference and native
war. AS telegraphed, he was particu-
larly hurt that the queen had taken no
notice of the long letter or pamphlet he
wrote to her on the situation. And,
by the way, often observed what re-
gard most Beers appear to feel for the
queen personally. They constantly
couple her name with Gladstone's
when they wish to say anything nice
about English politics.
"As to the generals views on the
crisis, there would be little new to say.
Till the present war his hope had been
for South African confederacy un-
der English protection-the Cape, Ma
tai, Free State and Transvaal all hav-
ing equal rights and local self govern
ment. He knows well enough the in
ner causes of the present evils. But
now,' he said, we can only leave it
to God. If it is his will that the Trans
vaal perish, we can only do our best"

other naticnalities are also volunteer

ARCTIC
TIDAL
WAVE.

! a thrilling experience in the earth
quake which disturbed Alaska in the
early part of last September is told by
DR.. L. A. Cox of Sitka, who, with two
Dthers, Captain Smith and S. Cox, was
encamped in Disenchantment bay. The
camp was on glacier moraine about
Loo feet from tide water and probably
10 feet above sea level. 1t was about one
and three-fourth miles southeast of Hub
bard glacier and five miles northwest of
what is known as Third glacier. The
country back of the camp was low and
fat for distance of one and half
miles, with the exception of a hill 200
feet high just before reaching the high
mountains which surrounded the moraine.
In writing of what occurred for the Sitka
Alaskan, DR.. Cox says:

felt on Sunday, Sept. 8, and continued
with varying severity until Sunday, Sept.
