an excellent debater. He was very
fond of criticising and objecting to what
was proposed by other men. He seemed
never so happy as when in opposition to
the majority of his associates. But he

commonly lack, great capacity for cons

COLLECTOR OF SNUFF BOXES.

Lord Russell of England, who has Just
completed his 66th birthday, has prob
ably a larger collection of snuff boxes
than any judge who occupies a seat upon
the bench. Many of these snuff boxes
have exceedingly interesting histories.
His clients. when he was practicing at
the bar before becoming lord chief jus
tice, knowing his snuff-taking propensi-
ties, invariably sent him as a little token
of their appreciation of his conducting
their various cases a snuff box. Lore
Russell has kept all these, but as a mat
ter of fact that which he uses now has
been in his possession for many years,
and has accompanied him through some
of the most famous trial of the CEN
fury.

Sir Edward Poynter, the president Of
the Royal Academy, tells many amusing
tales of the days when he was among the
most Bohemian of Bohemians in the
Latin quarter in Paris. He formed one
of a small colony, Of which Mr.. Du Maui
rier and Mr.. Whistler were the life and
soul, and even "Trilby,' in whose pages
Sir Edward is said to figure largely, does
not recount a little of their ~escapades.
Sir Edward spent four years in Paris,
and in spite of his love of frolic, made
such good use of his opportunities that he
won the coveted A. r. A. within ten
years of his return to England.

Professor Hugh Scott says that Pro-
fessor Henry Drummond, when a boy,
discovered that he could hypnotic peo-
pie. At a birthday party a little girl de-
clined to play the piano. Drummond
happened to catch her eye, and said
play To his surprise, she rose at
once, Wen to the piano and played. AT
another time he hypnotized a boy, and
gave him a poker for a gun. "
"Now," laid Drummond, I'm a pleas
ant; shoot me-"
The boy did so, and Drummond fell
to keep up the illusion; whereupon the
boy, seeing the bird move, was about
to hit it over the head with the poker.
The hypnotizer had just time to stop
the ma9netized sportman.

THE JANUARY DIVIDENDS.
Gold Will Flow Into the Channels of
Trade.

New York, Dec. 26.-The January
disbursements will pour out a golden
flood of money into the channels of
business this week and next. The
amount to be out in interest and divi-
dends is about one hundred and fifty
millions, the largest in the history of
trade in this country. Instead of ru-
mors and certainties of r~eceiverships,
as at this season in other years, the
common talk Of concerns is with divi-
dends and increases of dividends.
The Journal this morning says a
great financial institution, to be called
the National Bank Of the United States
or the National United States bank, is
forming. The bank is to be a CONSOLE
dalton Of the National City bank and
the Hanover National bank of New
York, both of which, it is stated, are
controlled by Rockefellers and smaller
concerns. This consolidated institu-
ton is to be, according to present
plans, a central money power Of the
United States. Secretary Of the Treas
ury Gage, after his retirement from the
cabinet, is to become the head of the
bank.

PROF. ELLIOTT coUEs DEAD.
Naturalist, Geologist and Anatomist of
High Repute.

Baltimore, Dec. 26.-Prof. Elliott
Coues of Washington, d. c., the world
famed ~ornithologist and scientist, died
last night at Johns Hopkins hospital.
Prof. Coues was one of the most dis
tinguished scientists in the United
States. He was born at Portsmouth,
N. H. in 1912, and graduated at the
Columbia university, Washington, in
1861. He entered the United States ar
my as a medical cadet in 1862 and left

was an expert in geology, anatomy and
many other sciences. He was connect
ed with the Smithsonian institute, the
United States geological and geograph-
ical surveys and professor of biology

chanical college. He was one of the
associate editors of the Century die
tionary and other publications, al or
nithologist of world wide reputation
and published many works on that sub
ject. His versatility as an author was
very great and his works included a
number of scientific subjects. He was
a member of at least so foreign and
American scientific societies. No man
wider acquaintance with men of
thought the world over than Prof.

An old song preserved in the Har-
leian manuscripts, in the British mus
uem, asserts that it is peculiarly lucky
when Christmas falls on a Sunday.
"That wynter shall be good" it says;
"the somer shall be faire and drye,"
and the year that follows Christmas
will be a good tyne all thyngs to
DON"
If there is any virtue in the old SUI
perstition, 1899 should be a cheerful
t~welvemonth. For our own nation,
indeed, it promises well. And it would
seem singularly fitting that a happy
year should begin with the years hap
piest day.
Luck" alone will not ensure pros
perity or contentment. But the Com
panion, while wishing its readers a
merry Christmas, assures them of a
good tyne to follow, if through all
the months they cherish the Christmas
spirit-the disposition to make the
most of ones blessings and the best
of ones troubles, and to be thoughtful.
hopeful, generous and kind.

Wellington, one of Rear Admiral
Schley's staunchest friends, will agree
to the adoption of the senate of a
resolution giving the thanks of con-
gress to Rear Admiral Sampson and
Schley in the order named, for the vic
tory over Cervera's fleet at Santiago
de Cuba. Neither Sampson nor Schley
will be named in the bill reviving the
grade of vice admiral, but the senate
understands the president will nomin-
ate them so that Sampson will be
Schley's superior. This arrangement
will be satisfactory to Schley's friends
and the administration and is expect,

Prof. Dewar has at length succeeded
in solidifying hydrogen. In its COM
pact form, solid hydrogen is a trans
parent ice, but owing to rapid ebulli-
ton it usually appears as a foamy
white mass. Its mean temperature Is
16 degrees centigrade above absolute
zero. Prof. Dewar says. with REFER
ence to his latest achievement: The
last doubt as to the possibility OF solid
hydrogen having a metallic character
has been removed, and for the future
hydrogen must be classed among the

realities of life crowd thick and fast
upon us. Why then seek to DESTROY
one of the most beautiful ideals OF
child life?
Let the little ones hang up their
stockings on Christmas eve. Let them
believe in the dear old white-bearded
mar who is one of their happiest il
lusions, and. above all, let them be
real children while they may, not min
iature men and women, tired of the
ideal side of life before they leave the
nursery for the schoolroom.
Yes, we believe that the best and
truest mother can with perfect JUS
tice to both her children and herself
conscientiously decide to keep Santa
Claus in the especial niche in which
he has sat enthroned for ages past.
Give us Santa Claus! Throw the
good old saint out into the snow? Put
away those delicious Christmas eve
dreams, when every stir in the house
hold after dusk meant the stamp of a
reindeer? Bring up a child without
the belief in the chimney and its ca
pacity to stretch on Christmas eve?
No; a thousand times no!
There's toe little poetry in life now.
Let the children have all of it they can
get. Says a recent writer: Il wish
there was a grown-up Santa Claus.
I'd love to believe in him, and l would
n o thank anyone who told me he
wasn't true. I'd listen to his sleigh
bells with something very much like
rapture, I'm afraid. 1t wouldn't be for
the presents, either. That isn't why
the children love Santa Claus. They
love him because he means that some
where there's a great-hearted creature,
who is thinking of them and planning
all the year through to delight them"

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.

"Gift-making is one of the most
gracious features of Christmas, and
one that l pray may survive all other
outgrown customs writes Florence
Hull Winterburn, in the Woman's
Home Companion. when love and
sympathy are close counselors there Is
little fear that we shall make the mis-
take of leaving out of u little ones
stocking the particular thing he has
set his heart upon getting. And If his
choice is beyond us to crafty, let us
come as near to 1t as we can, and not
convert this season into a sort of con-
venience for ourselves, thrusting upon
his reluctant acceptance such prosaic
articles as shoes, hats and other essen
tials Of the toilet. Far prettier is the
German custom of bestowing gaudy
triles that have no use in themselves
but are part of the glitter and fashion
of the holiday. When it is possible
nothing is so good to have as the ira
ditional Christmas tree. In after years
memory hangs upon it fondly, and we
bless in our hearts the kind hands that
took so much trouble to give us pleas
ure.
"Then the stocking hung up on
Christmas eve has a romance all its
own. The breakfast table dressed with
h~olly-berries and gifts piled under
snowy napkins is a graceful custom,
and is far nicer than the blunt hand
ing out of our gifts. Some trouble
should be taken to create the welcome
element of surprise. We all like it,
in a child's experience. He finds out
before we would choose to have him
that what is looked forward to most
eagerly seldom turns out well. 1t is
sad philosophy, yet true, that it is
dangerous to set ones heart on any
thing in this world. But the love that
hides its intention until the hour of
fulfllment, and then lets out its secret
in an outburst of generosity, is the
best substitute hat is ever offered for
the special Providence-Santa Claus,
and all other gracious myths.
can example of generosity is seldom
lost upon children if it is true, not
artificial. They are very willing to
live up to their little knowledge, If we
allow them the chance, and part of
our duty to the day is to encourage in
our young people the same kindness
we cultivate in ourselves. 1t is so
much easier to learn in youth to be
genial, sympathetic and generous than
it is after embittering experiences have
hardened our hearts,"
