Snap Dragon.

Among the games which seem to belong
peculiarly to this season Is that Of snap
dragon. 1t has been Christmas pastime
from time immemoriai, and is declared to
have been invented by Hercules, who, when
he had slain the flaming dragon of Hes
peria. made a fiery dish OF the apples
grown in the orchard. which dish he named

England they call the game flap dragon.

for raisins through the flames Of brandy
which has been set on fire, a. lighted candle
Is put into vessel Of ale or cider. efforts
being then made to drink the liquid while
the candle burns. OF course the feat is not
accomplished without the face being black
ened at least. The more danger the more
charm. however.

Eastern Railroads May He Affected by
New Movement.
A dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
At meeting Of the General Managers AS
sociation, held here today, movement was
started which may result in a general In
crease In the wages Of trainmen, engine
men, f1remen and switchmen on all the big
railroad systems east Of Chicago The meet
ing was called at the request Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, the causes
being the coal shortage in Chicago and
other cities. shortage Of cars and power and
the congested condition Of traffic in general.
The coal situation, however was tho mov-
ing cause for the meeting, and discussion
regarding it led to canvass Of the entire
situation.
eral managers the congestion is due in a
measure, to inef1ciency of the service rem
dered by employees, and this view led into
a discussion OF the labor and wages situa-
tion. Although no formal resolution was
passed on the subject, 1t was generally
agreed that an increase In the wages of
employees would do much toward stimulat-
sen TO which in turn
Attention was called to the fact that
wages Of operating employees Of railroads
are from 10 to 70 per cent higher, taking
In the east. The inequality is due to con-
ditions in the early days Of raiIroadinc.
when it cost a great deal more to live in
the west than it did in the east, and when
railroading west Of Chicago meant taking
big chances. The general managers of Chi
cago are Of the opinion that now is the
time to make a concerted action to even
up wages all over the country Holding this
view Of the situation an effort will be made.
1t is said, to induce the managers of the
eastern lines to grant such increases In
wages as will bring them on a parity with
the wages paid in the west Should this be
brought about, several hundred thousa nd
men will receive increases, and the paw
rolls of the eastern roads, taken as whole

In Noisy Mood.

After nightfall the throngs strolled up
the streets blowing horns. ringing bells and
in hundred different ways giving noisy
demonstrations Of their happiness. At mid
night there seemed to be no decrease in
the din. The trumpeters brought their In
struments into play at this time and the
shrill note Of the bugle mingled with the
less musical sound OF the tin horn. As the
morning hours wore on the noisemakers
retired one by one, and finally the city set
tied down to slumber to await the dawn
and to renew again the observances Of the
day.

AS rule, howel u, We 90 not

The idea Of alternating males IS
to do away with fAvori.lsn., and
also to Offset the habit of some
males in refusing to diminishing
on calling up the hens instead.
Another evil that is Offset is the
habit of hens pulling feathers. If
there is a feather-eater in the
flock, she will invariably begin
on the male. BY alternating, the
hens are thrown more off their
guard. Last year we had bad
feather puller in one of our Wy
andotte pens, and she was prac-
tically cured by continually
changing males. Another vice
is the picking the male birds
combs. If there is a possible
chance for the hen to draw blood
she will pick and pick the comb,
very often running it. When we
find the hens doing this, we re-
move the victim, and substitute
a new male, In a few days after
being anointed with vaseline, the
sore spot will properly heal up.
