The evergreen" custom of kissing
under the mistletoe owes its origin Ia
. legend OF Scandinavian mythology.
Tradition says that Loki, the sworn
foe Of Balder the beautiful (the Scan.
dinavian Apollo) resolved, by fair
means or foul, TO kill his enemy. He
was, however, At his wits end TO fnd

oak. could not be said TO spring from

but the plot failed signally, for Balder

If the woman at work should make

it seemed that every movement would

woman to suffer. But when she must

Pigeon Slaughter.
New York Times.


II is mistake 10 suppose that any
legitimate interest Of sport is served in
the slaughter Of birds At traps. Those
who have tried it know that there are
many much moro difficult feats with .
gun than killing or manning pigeon
in the moment OF confusion when the
trap falls away and it is dazed by the
light and uncertain which way to fly
for safety. 1t is in killing birds thus
taken at hopeless disadvantage that
the great trap-shooting records are
made. Many Of the so-called "crack
shots" Of the trap-shooting clubs would
make very showings as hunters Of
grouse or partridge in their native
haunts. As tests Of skill, clay pigeons
are much more useful than the live
birds now employed, since they move
more quickly and are more erratic in
their fight. Probably this is the rea-
son they are not favored by the anna
teur sportsmen with records in trap
shooting. It 10 nothing to be proud
Of to kill pigeon on the ground be-
fore it has gained headway in fight,
and when it 10 deprived OF all sssist-
ance in escaping which it finds. and
takes clever advantage or, in its M.
tive cover.

1t was from the Greek word elektron,
which means amber, that the import
ant science Of electricity derived its
name. Six hundred years before the
Christian era, Phales OF Miletus, one
OF the "Seven wise men of Greece" !"
knew that after yellow amber had
been rubbed briskly with wool, it
would attract light bodies. straw, etc.
This was considered its power of sue
ton, and served to invest the sub
stance with superstitious interest.
Many centuries later. Pliny. the cele.
brated naturalist, mentions the same
fact about elektron, or amber. But it
is now well known that amber pos.
sesses the property of becoming mega.
lively electric only in common with
other resineus substances.

Five Toasts.

A story is told that recently in Los
Angeles five prominent gentlemen oil
foreign birth chanced to meet. One
was q Russian, one q Turk, one a
Frenchman, one an American, and
the other an Englishman. The gen.
tlemen became bosom friends, and
finally champagne supper was pro-
posed, at which each gentleman, TO be
in keeping with the times, was to give
a toast to his native country, the one
giving the best toast to be at no ex.
pense for the wine. Here are the
toasts given:
The Russian -" Here's to the stars
and bars of Russia, that were never
pulled down."
The Turk" Here's TO the moons
OF Turkey, whose wings were never
clipped"
The Frenchman-" Here's to the
cock OF France, whose feathers were
never picked"
The American" Here's to the
stars and stripes Of the United States
of America, that never trailed in de-
feat"
The Englishman-" Here's to the
rampin', roarin' lion Of Great Britain,
that tore down the stars and bars OF
Russia, clipped the wings of Turkey.
picked the feathers off the cock OF
France, and ran like HI from the
stars and stripes OF the United States
Of America"
The Englishman paid for no cham.
pague.

cured the floor and introduced a bill
which will be known as House Record
No. l. Representative Tawney o
Minnesota introduced another form oil
Grout bill and Representative Dawson
reintroduced the Grout bill. Between
so many ardent champions the farme,
will probably be permitted to fall to
the ground.
Among the nearly two thousand
bills which were introduced in the
House the first day was one by Repre-
sentative Fowler of New Jersey provid-
ing for the establishment OF a reciproc-
ity commission as recommended by
the recent reciprocity convention in
in this city. Another, introduced by
Representative Crunpacker provides
for the admission to statehood OF Porto
Rico, and Representative Corliss OF
Michigan has reintroduced his bill
providing for the governmental con.
struction and ownership of . Pacific
cable.
There will be bill passed early in
the session giving to Mrs. Mckinley a
pension Of 5000 per annum. There
will be no expression of opposition TO
this bill and, perhaps for that reason,
some of the friends of Mrs. Harrison
are working to secure the attachment
OF a rider giving q similar pension to
the widow of President Harrison.
Considering the fact that Mrs. Harri.
son married the General so late in life
and that she is not in actual need OF
the pension there will be considerable
opposition to the granting of a pension
to her, but it is possible delicacy Of
feeling about holding up Mrs. McKin.
ley's position, even though it is entire
iy due to the rider, may prevent any
negative votes in Congress. Russell
B. Harrison has come to Washington
to lobby for the rider.
The Presidents message is regarded
by most OF the Congressman as an ex.
cellent and conservative production.
His recommendations against tariff re-.
vision are q disappointment to some,
but they are quite in line with the
policy of his party and he doubtless
appreciated that whatever he might
recommend. Congress would do moth
ing along that line. His treatment Of
the trust question is also regarded by
some as lacking backbone, but q DEM
ocratic Senator said yesterday, "If
Congress will adopt the Presidents
recommendation and lay bare TO pub.
lie inspection the workings of the
trusts, that is all we would ask. II
would not be necessary for the Presi-
dent to make any further recommen-
dations. irhe people would attend to

bought dozens Of copies Of the papers
in which it appeared, and sent them
to his friends, writes William E.
Curtis. He cut out the article and
carried it around in his pocketbook,
and used to read it to people, and the
first question he asked Of me when
met him At the Philadelphia conven-
ton was whether Dunno, who wrote
the Dooley articles, was in town. I
told him I thought he was, and he
said that he. wanted to zee him.
Dunno was ~ reluctant as Roosevelt
was eager for the meeting, and when
they finally came together on the
floor of the convention hall Roosevelt,
exclaimed:
"By Godfrey, Mr.. Dunno, / would
