New York, December 21.-we are now standing on the threshold of Christmas It controls the gay season for few days and the schedule of events is all tered to meet It's exactions. Judging from the great stores, Christmas will not be allowed to lose It's hold; for that matter there is very little desire on the part of the wealthy who eagerly embrace an opportunity to do wholesale shopping One feature of Christmas Is the family gathering. I must confess that 1t seems pleasant to know that there is one day in the year when all members of a family are drawn together and equally unpleas- ant to know as fact few families are so drawn.
 have passed a good many years in England, and I like the way the English people as a rule rally on Christmas under the family. flag. They recognize head to their family and their Christmas meetings seem to be pervaded with the Christmas sentiment of peace and good will. They do not seem to have the un- kind feeling for those members who ars not brilliant, distinguished or successful It Is not so here. Our principle families are all more or less at swords points.

for this was that the elder members of the family cared little or nothing for so- ciety. The younger generation has now begun to assert itself and with the mar riages of daughter of the house with Mir Stillman and of a Stillman daughter to young Rockefeller, conditions have changed. It will not be many years from all indications before the Rockefellers will be numbered with the Vanderbilts and Astors. Older social observers will recall the fact that the name of Wander bilt only became socially prominent for the first time eighteen years ago, on that famous January night of 1885, when Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, now Mrs. Oliver Belmont, gave the great fancy dress ball. On Tuesday afternoon of last week Mrs. William Rockefeller gave a reception to introduce her daughter, Miss Ethel Rock efeller.

When they are of almost equal station socially and financially they are at log gerheads for other reasons.
 For instance. take the Belmonts. None Of the three brothers. Perry. August or Oliver, are on speaking terms with one another. Each had his own idea of the things in life that interested him, and each freely, frankly and publicly criti- cised the other. The result is obvious; they do not speak as they pass by. The Astors are also not united. Mrs. William Astor was most disagreeable to her sis- ters. Mrs. Suydam and Mrs. Irving, so a coldness followed; then, too. her daugh- ters marriage did not turn cut very hap oily. and this divided families Then, the Vanderbilts. the numerous cousins hard ly know one another This family today has an enormous connection Indeed. 1t Is almost a clan, the clansmen being cous- ins. but they are not on terms Young Cornelius has broken away and has been absorbed by his wife's connections. the Wilson's. He Is not on good terms with nis mother, his brother Alfred, his sister, Mrs. Whitney. The children of Willie K. Vanderbilt are scarce on more than speaking terms with those of his brother. the late Cornelius Vanderbilt The Sloanes. Twomblys Shepards and Webbs have little in common. Then coming to the Goulds, the George J. Goulds are only on terms with the Edwin Goulds and Miss Helen. It is strange how these families break up. It is not so in England
 regret to know that Prescott Hall Butler Is in so serious a condition that he may not live. Some years ago Butler married niece of Mrs. Alexander T. Stewart and she inherited some of the hot in dry goods, and which eluded the grasp of that extraordinary man, the late Judge Hilton. Prescott Butler Is a dis tinguished lawyer. and grew up in the famous firm of Evarts, Southmayd and Choate and Beaman, which 1t became when MT. Southmayd retired. MT. Evarts and MT. Peaman are both dead and Mir. Choate is the American minister at the Court of St. James.
 MT. Butler was not only a fine lawyer, but a most sociable and charming com panion. He was at one time an excellent actor in private theatricals, fine horse man, a sportsman and member of all the leading clubs. Enormously capable men tally and physically he seemed to possess vitality that would honor drafts upon it to an unlimited extent His habits were excellent and this. perhaps, helped to sustain him, but, last summer while cruising on his yacht. he was taken i'll and has been an invalid up to the pres ent time.

Heartlessness of Life In Great City

 From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser,
 There is singular heartlessness about life In a great city. The stranger soon finds out that he Is nonentity; that he occupies little. if any, space in the thoughts of the thousands about him. Some time ago two people camo here All summer long the man lay i'll in an uptown apartment. The only one td wait upon him was his wife Not one acquaintance was made by them The doctor came anu went in perfunctory way. A woman who occupied an ad- joining apartment learned of the illness and through a window occasionally handed book or a newspaper across the way to the woman who was keeping watch. Now and then a question was asked about the sick mans condition and the answer was as brief as the inquiry. Then all at once communication ceased.

oSTRlcHES FROM INcuBAToRs. Experts More Successful at Matching
 Than the Birds Themselves.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 The ostrich lays her eggs in hole in the sand. The first two are sterile eggs, and are laid outside the nest, for the ostrich is naturally a desert bird, and nature has provided these two eggs, filled with liquid, to serve as food and drink to the newly matched ostriches un- til they become strong enough to go with their parents in search of food and water. The ostrich does not lay an egg every day, but on alternate days, and the same number, fourteen, is always laid. The eggs weigh about four pounds each and are very rich. They are ex- ce1lent to eat. but are very expensive for omelettes, as the market price is s2O each. In the native state the ostriches raise but one brood year, but in cap tivity they raise four broods a year.
 In Florida the ortrich farmers are matching the ostriclfes by incubator, and this is found to be even more successful than by the birds sitting on the eggs The eggs hatch in the incubators in about forty-two days An ostrich egg is very pretty in shape, being almost round and of a rich cream color. The
  the eggs are about fifteen inches in length.
 The plucking season Is the most inter- esting on the ostrich farm. The birds are driven separately into small inclos- ure with very high stout fences and the bird is blinded by hood drawn over its head. The long. valuable feathers or plumes. are plucked from the tail or wings, or, rather, they are cut with sharp shears, the stubs fanlng out of themselves later. at the molting time. The shorter, more inferior feathers are pulled out and placed it bags by them- selves.
 Each plucking averages from sS5 to $50 to each bird. The feathers of the male are of more value than those of the female.
 The feathers change in color with the age of the birds. The feathers of young birds are white and yellow and at the age of year and a half the feathers turn to drab color on the female and to black and white on the male.

 The opera season begins on Monday ev- ening. The subscription for the boxes Is unusually large.

 Those ever youthful bucks Messrs. Center Hitchcock, Ned Bulkley, Ray Mil Ter, Harry Bergman, Louis Betts and Alphonse Navarro. have decided that there must be @ bachelors ball, and this they have decided to give at Sherry's on Friday evening, January 10.
 The list of patronesses will include Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr., and Mrs Clar- ence H. Mackay. A feature of the ball will be the favors, which will be unusual ly costly and beautiful. There are to be seven IaVor nBureS, anu the dttenudHce at the hall will be about 400
 I do not know what to say about the ball to be given by Mrs. Lorrillard It has made a good deal of feeling. To be sure Mrs. Lorrillard in his will was not nice in his respect to his wife, still, as the mother of his children. it might have been better form not to have challenged public attention as to her scorn of his memory These children are in mourn ing for him. Everybody knows that Pierre Lorrillard did not do right, and a quiet, dignified course of action would have probably been better. Mrs. Lorril- lard gives as her reason for the ball, the debut of her neice. Mrs. Emily Steuart Taylor, who has been living in Paris. It Is plain that Mrs. Lorrillard purposes re-entering society, where she was most popular leader and charming hos tess. m

One of the Angels was Smoking.

From the London Chronicle.
 On Saturday evening, when the fog was at it's worst in Piccadiily, the van of the Sisters of Nazareth was return ing from its round of begging food for the poor. The amateur driver, an in- mate of Nazareth House, was unequal to the difficult and even dangerous sit uation. The Sister in charge therefore alighted, and led the horse. Three smart young men emerging from a club at once took charge of the horses head sent the Sister inside, and themselves escorted the van through the city of dreadful night two miles westward, to the door of Nazareth, House. There they disappeared. before the Sister had time to express her gratitude. Perhaps they were angels suggested somebody, who had begun to believe that the age of h,i-. man chivalry was dead.
