"NO BOXES SOLD HERE"
A Sign Displayed In Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Regulations.

Sign Displayed In Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Regulations
"No Boxes Sold Here is the sign
that hangs in one of the principal
jewelry establishments in the city. The
sign made its appearance after the shop
ping of one Christmas season. But there
is no time of the year in which the de-
mand for boxes is quite discontinued,
and the sign serves its purpose always.
The demand for boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative into the belief that
the article presented to him came from
the best establishment in the city. Sim
liar attempts are made at the well
known glass and china shops, at one of
the well known French confectioners
and at all of the establishments which
have made a reputation i'll some par
ticular field.
Nearly all of these answer such ap-
plications with the words of the sign,
mo Boxes Sold Here" but there are
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects of merchandise
and are quite indifferent to what be-
comes of them so long as they get their
rather high prices for the empty boxes
bearing the name of the firm. Similar
indifference is shown by well known
English pickle factory, which allows
its labels TO be sold here and pasted
over any sort of stuff that the pur-
chaser of them happens TO concoct.-

FUN IN THE FOOTNOTE.
A Popular Librettist Couldn't Withhold q
Joke on Prospective Bride.

Joke on Prospective Bride.
w. S. Gilbert does not retain all of
his humor for use i'll his librettos
In the early days of his success. when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered
by managers as the "sure winners" in
the comic opera field, young woman
who was a member of one of the pima
FORE companies wrote to Gilbert tell
ing him of her approaching marriage
with young man of good position and
family.
Gilbert congratulated the young wo-
man and expressed the hope that her fu
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only little more than a month pass
ed, ard another letter from the Same
girl reached him, in which she stated
that her engagement with the young
man had been broken and that she had
accepted another sutton.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her Judgment and again eX-
pressed his hearty wishes for her vel
fare.
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received n third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking
her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer
withstand the temptation, and he wrote,
II desire to congratulate you on your
approaching marriage with Hero he
placed an asterisk and in a footnoto
added:
Here insert tho name of the happy
man.
This is probably as characteristic a
piece of humor as any that appears in
his Bah Ballads or in his works for
the stage. New York Press

Watching Plants Grow.

Procure little collomia seed. Take
enc of the seeds, and with n razor cut
off very tiny slice, place it on a sliIe,
cover with glass and place under the
microscope The instrument must be in
n vertical position. When it is well TO-
cused and lighted, moisten it with a
drop of water. The seed will absorb the
moisture and throw out very large
number of spiral tibers, giving the ap-
l'earance of veritable termination. Be-
ginners will find it easier if one applies
the moisture while the other looks

B0ER SYMPATHIZERS
New York City Council Passes
Set of Resolutions

New York. Dec. 29.-At the meeting
of the New York city council today re-
solutions of sympathy for the Beers,
which were offered last Tuesday, were
adopted with but one dissenting vote.
Resolutions condemning the action of
the government in continuing the war
in the Philippines were also passed.
The latter stated that the war was
begun against the Spanish for the pur-
pose of securing liberty for the Cubans,
and was now carried on for the purpose
of gain.
Soon after the resolutions had been
declared carried Councilman Stewart M.
Brice, son of the late Calvin s. Brice,
who had not been present when the re-
solutions were voted on, joined the
council and expressed Indignation at
the Philippines resolution. He moved
to have it reconsidered.
His motion prevailed without protest
and the resolution was RECONSTRUCTED and
put on file. The Boer resolution stood
as passed.

BULLER CONCENTRATES MOVE
Not Thought Likely He viii Risk
Another Frontal Attack

London, Dec. 80 % a. m.).--Latest dis
ly of some important move. This is in
terpreted. with some misgivings, to
mean that Gen. Butler contemplates a
renewal of his attempt to relieve Lady
smith. 1t is reported by the same dis
patches that the Beers have now re-
tired to the north bank of the Tugela,
being afraid that the swollen river may
bar their retreat They are also moving
their laagers nearer Ladysmith, prob
ably with the intention of putting fur
Their pressure on the garrison, which
now seems to be suffering pretty heav-
lily from the bombardment.
1t is difficult, however, to conceive
that Gen. Butler would make another
frontal attack, especially now that the
river is rising; and an additional indi-
cation that this is not his purpose is the
fact that he has removed his headquar-
ters back to Frere The Boer move
lnent northward from the Tugela is
quite in keeping with the usual plan of
securing a safe line of retreat. 1t is
known that further artillery is due to
arrive for Gen. Butler; but the belief
here is that his forces even then will be
too weak
He may, however be animated by a
desire TO accomplish something before
the arrival of Lord Roberts and to sat
isfy the keenness of his men to re-
tleve their defeat. The reported en-
gagetnent with Kaffirs is very vague
and cannot be explained pending the
arrival of later dispatches. The num-
Der of members of the house Of COM
mons who have volunteered for the
front, threatens seriously to reduce the
governments majority when parlia-
ment reassembles.
The Rothsehilds have donated $4,000
to the Buckinghamshire volunteer
fund. 1t is estimated that 100000
will, be contributed privately to vol
Cnteer funds throughout the country
Already the fund for the relief of the
families of soldiers exceeds $500, 900.

the bout Broad spread it over his

foul tactics. In the following round he
deliberately butted twice and the refe-

FOR THE Beers

loyalists who gave her official dispatch
es and news. She stayed in the hotel
all day and stole out by night to do
shopping
On visiting the hospital she found
that orders had been issued that no
one should leave the town. The gal

questions put by the landrost before he
could get permission for himself and
his sister to leave. They set out at
o'clock in the morning in fear of be-
ing recognized, and got away safely.
After the Beers discovered that she
had been mixed up in dispatch running

her go to Mafeking. He proposed send

or, as an alternative, to release her if
Vilioen were given up by the British.
At fir,t she refused to ask Col. Baden
Powell to do this, but finally she chang

from her varied experiences among the
Beers tina they are heartily sick Of the
