There seems to be general move,

WINTER IN SWITZERLAND.
In the Higher Attitudes We Are Told
There Are Never Any Stormy
DAYS,

There is no doubt that the plan of
taking a winter holiday in switzer-
land is being more largely adopted of
late years, for all who try it discover
the country is more lovely in winter
than in summer. During December,
January and February in the high
Swiss attitudes, says the Chicago
News, there are never any stormy
days, and winter sports, such as to-
bogganing, skating, hockey on>ice and
sleighing, all offer ample opportunity
for fun.
+ All this gayety has developed within
a few years. Fifteen years ago a
shrewd man opened big hotel at
Grindelwald in winter, and the inhab-
5itants around about were filled with
amazement at the wild idea, for no.
body ever imagined it would be any
thing but big failure. Yet last win
ter guests had to be turned away.
New roads are being built, new ho-
tells are springing up for the express
accommodation of the winter travel
ers. Skating and tobogganing on the
Engadine have become famous and the
growth in popularity of st. Moritz is
marvellous. Anything more beautiful
than the lake there after the first
frost before the snow has fallen can
not be Imagined, while the ice-tobog-
gaming is the fastest in the world.

CLEVER LITTLE CHINESE.
Wu Ting Fung's Son Had an An.
svver for a Very Pushing
- Question.

The Chinese minister to the United
States, Mr.. WI Ting Fang, has little
son who evinces wonderful interest
in the deeper subjects of life, says the
Washington Post. Not long ago he
was talking to some of his little play
fellows and they were discussing the
Sunday school. One boy was indig-
nant over text his teacher had given
him to explain.
"1t's Chinese puzzle, anyway" said
the boy to the Chinese minister's son.
In that case," said the little orient
al, II guess 1 can tell you all about
it. What is the question, anyway"
The Sunday school student, the son
Of naval officer, looked at the little
Chinaman and answered:
''This is it: What's the meaning of
the bible question:: In my Fathers
house there are many mansions""
The naval officers son felt confident
that he had "stumped" the minister's
son. But, he reckoned without his
host. The little Chinaman looked with
contempt at the American.
''Why. don't you know what that
means? In my Fathers house there
are many mansions?' That is an
apartment house," =.

Locking AN Umbrella.


An umbrella that is useless to any
one except its rightful owner may well
be considered valuable. The New Or
leans Times-Democrat says that law
yer in that city possesses such an arti-
Gle. which he describes as follows: II
bought it in Germany year before last,
and nobody can open it except myself
DO you notice that little key hole in the
side? Here is the key on the end OF
my watch chain. and until it is insert.
ed and turned. the thing is absolutely
immovable. Anybody else would find
It harder to raise than a mortgage. On
Mt least dozen occasions the umbrella
has been stolen or taken away by acci-
dent, If you prefer that term, but it has
always found its way home. You see,
my name is cut on the handle, and the
umbrella itself is well know to all the
attaches of the building. When they
see a stranger struggling with it in the
door on q rainy day. they promptly
8confscate it and bring it back. i won
