SANTA CLAUS.

There is a Santa Claus. He may
not come in the form of rosy
checked, rotund, white haired old
gentleman fecked with snow and
driving a pair of praucipg reindeers
bitched to a sled loaded with toys,
and descending the sooty chimney
as he is pictured in the childrens
books, but he does come in the form
of the many little gifts and the al
most universal charities which are
called forth by the season of Christ's
birth. He will come and may be
ever continue to do so to delight the
hearts of the children who look and
wait for this joyful advent. They
may be years in learning that he
represents the love of father, moth
er and friends rather than a tangi-
BILE parsonage, but it comes to them
slowly and in the end only awakens
a desire to emulate the loving kind
ness which has been bestowed on
them. This the season of gift bring
ing and good cheer, and Santa Claus
should not only come in the homes
where plenty abounds but heshould
go to those in which there is no such
cheer. Trif1es will add more real
happiness perhaps With such than
costly presents in home where there
is abundance. Whose giveth to
the poor lendeth to the Lord. "

sEvENTY CENTURIES Acc.
Beautiful Testimonials when Esyp-
tinn M0nnrchs Were Laid
Away by the Ancienta.

The center of interest for us to-day
in Egypt is the first dynasty time, and
how far advanced in the arts of life
were the men Of that age may be seen
by the besuty of shape of the stone and
alabaster vases that are here to view,
and the exquisite workmanship of a
little toilet nard or eye paint box
carved out of a single block of ivory,
and made in the shape of a couple of
ducks whose tails are twi. ed together
to form, as it were, the hinge of the
box. The great gentleman who owf I'd
this was buried with 80 jars of offer
ings in his brick tomb, while 16 stone
vases we're near his body. He had as
pillowstone a sandstone block for corn
grinding and a beautiful shaped tazza
of slate had been-apparently placed at
his head. says Atlantic. These among
his vases had lain when Prof. Finder
Petrie and John Garstang brought his
skull bones and his funeral furniture
to the light of day.
But the table in the center of the
room-it is to this we turn, for here
are placed contemporary carvings in
wood and ivory, weapons and pieces OF
the royal drinking bowls and furniture
of seven of the eight kings of the first
dynasty, and the work of two that pre-
ceded Aha-Mena. Here is a fragment
of a slate bowl that the lips of Zeser
the pre-Menite king perhaps have
touched. Here is fragment of an
alabaster jar that bears upon It the
name Of Mariner, the succeeding SOW
ereign, but my eyes went at once to
the little bit Of crystal vase which bore
the name Of Mena, for now seemed to
feel myth fade away and the real king
who drunk from a crystal goblet to the
success of the city of Memphis he had
built in fair fields from which he had
turned the great Nile flood, seemed tC
stand before me.

WORST HORSE ON RECORD.
Lincoln Thought He Was Not Even
Fit to Draw n Hearse to
the Cemetery.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling a
stery-which he got from Mr.. Connant
of lawyer in a western town who de-
sired the nomination for county Judge
says the San Francisco Argonaut. On
the morning preceding the evening on
which the county convention was TO
meet he applied to the livery stable
keeper in his village for a horse and
buggy in which to drive to the county
town, 16 miles distant, where the con
vention was to be held. give me the
best and the fastest horse you have,
Sam" said he, $50 that will have time
to go around and see the boys before
the convention comes in" The livery
man, however, was supporting a rival
candidate, and gave the lawyer a horse
that outwardly appeared perfect, but
which broke down entirely before half
the journey was completed, so thar
when the candidate arrived the conven-
tion had adjourned and his rival had
been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that il
was useless to resent the trick PLAYED
upon him, he said to the owner: Look
here, Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market Yon
expect 20 sell him to an undertaken for
n hearse horse, don't you? Well. it's
time wasted. I know from his gait
that you have spent days training him
to pull hearse, but he'll prove a dead
failure. Why, he's so slow he couldn't
get a corpse to the cemetery in time
for the resurrection"
