t1ent disposition" "'Ihe Heir OF Ked-
clyffe" would seem an excellent present
for this person, if only she were able
to read it. But the editor is perhaps
unaware Of the improving character
Of Miss Yonge's stories. He has moth
ing more appropriate to suggest than
a gold pen or piece Of statuary,
neither of which is warranted cure
for impatience.
A married woman complains mourn
fully that she has to give present to
an old gentleman Of eighty-two ''who
has everything he wants" It never oc-
ours to her for moment to spare him
the added possession of something
he doesn't want. The utmost length
her ingenuity can go is to write to a
newspaper for advice. Another woman
feels moved to send ''some useful tride'
to missionary, and a young man, who
signs himself Jasper, has a painful
emergency to face. II know two sis
ters who are nearly Of an age" he
writes. II wish to give them both
Christmas presents. Ought l to send
the same thing to each? Their tastes,
I believe, are different. l know one
of. the young ladies much better than
her sister."-Agnes RSpplier in Lippin-
cott's.

A Santa Claus Who Receives Pres
ents Instead of Giving Them.
In Servia they keep Christmas eve
in somewhat peculiar way. The ia
ther Of the family goes into the wood
and cuts down straight young oak,
choosing the most perfect he can find.
He brings it in, saying, ''Good even
ing and happy Christmas" to which
those present say. MAY God grant
both to thee, and mayest thou have
riches and honorv' Then they throw
over him grains of corn. Presently the
young tree is placed upon the Goals,
where it remains until Christmas
morning, which they salute by repeat
ed firings of a pistol.
The national dish in Servia is pork
The poorest family in Servia will pinch
themselves all through the year so as
to have money enough to buy pig at
Christmas. Skewered to a long piece
of wood, the pig is turned over blaz-
ing fire until cooked, the guests watch
ing the process with increasing inter-
est. After dinner stories are told and
songs sung. Santa Claus, who, in the
person of an honored guest, is present
to receive instead of to give presents,
departs, after the feast. decorated with
a long ring of cakes around his neck

A TROPICAL &.
CHRISTMAS
How the Day Of Days Is Cele.
....., brated In Jamaica

~ HR1STMAS with the mercury
at 95 degrees in the shade and
~ soaring away out of sight
when exposed in the open!
The burning, almost boiling, rays Of
the sun beat vertically down from a
deep blue dome Of sky that is unlocked
by single film of cloud, and reflect
back with added intensity of suffering
heat from the parched, baked and
cracked earth and from the surface of
sea that shimmers like molten lead.
Christmas in land of perpetual sum-
mer, and hot wave at that. where, a
linen suit feels like buffalo robe and
the mere thought of blazing Yule
log almost induces an attack Of fever!
The calendar may insist that it is the
25th Of December, but to stranger
from the north, says a newspaper cor
respondent from Kingston, Jamaica, to
whom the word ''Christmas'' has a
Jingle of sleighbells and the sharp,
keen ring of skate blades on the ice.
there is no real Christmas in the
strange countries of the tropics.
In Kingston, the capital Of Jamaica,
the preparations for Christmas begin
several weeks before the event. The
shopkeepers lay in extra supplies and
provide special attractions, pretty
much after the manner of the New
York stores. Among other things they
import large quantities Of sweetmeats
and candies, from London, New York
and Paris, including chocolate creams
and other confectionery which New
Yorkers are accustomed to getting
"fresh every hour" In Jamaica you
are reasonably sure of getting these
delicacies fresh every Christmas.
Chocolate grows in great abundance
all over the island, but it must go to
London or Paris or New York to be
manufactured into candy, or even into
the preparations for breakfast bever-
ages. That is one of the expensive
peculiarities of the country. The
Christmas market is the great feature
Of the day, and almost the principal
event of the year in certain sense.
Everybody goes to market on Christ
mas day, and between the hours of 6
and 8 in the morning all the fashion
and beauty of the islands capital are on
dress parade through Victoria market.
The stalls in the market are gayly
decorated with flags, bunting, palm
branches, colOred paper, tinsel and an
Little Falls herald., 1902-12-12

abundance of flowers. A brass band
occupies a prominent position in the
market building and discourses music
of great volume and variety and more
or less melody. After the crowds fair
ly take possession of the market the
performance of the band appears to be
mostly pantomimic, for nothing made
by the hand of man can for moment
compete in noise producing capacity
with the average Jamaican negro.
The West Indian negro's great weak
ness is love of gay apparel, next is
prediction for ceremoniOusness, and
the most prominent affection is garrul-
ity. In the crowd that surges past one
through the market and the surround
ing streets may be seen every variety
of apparel known to civilized and un-
civilized man. The country people
wear little or nothing, the coolies as
little as nothing, but the town negro
wears everything he or she can put
on, without any regard whatever to the
climatic conditions. They take their
notions from the English fashion pa
pers, and heavy woolen clothing is .all
the style. The writer has even seen
sea1skins worn in Kingston on q day
when the thermometer registered 80
degrees in the shade. Here ts i: stylish
saddle colored gentleman wearing loud
check trousers, patent leather Shoes a
striped flannel shirt Of. three colors, a
crimson and black sash around his
waist, a blue English cricketing cap on
his head. In his hand he carries an
immense cane, while screwed into his
left eye is circular piece of perfectly
plain glass, through which he glares
stonily on the throng. Not long ago
the single eyeglass became very popu-
lar among Kingston society darkies,
but they could not get along with the
glasses that magnifed, so some enter
prising merchant imported lot Of cir
siculars pieces. Of plain window glass.

A Yule6de Tale Of Two Homes

l~ 1UGE OOD QaQ a ClleI! Wleu
l, Detective Martinez of the
~ metropolitan secret service,
was called out there, found
the town in state of excitement over
the robberies. The principal ones had
taken place in the mansion Of Colonel
Payne, the richest man in Ridgewood.
There had been four burglaries at the
Payne mansion. The first night silver
was taken-small pieces consisting Of
spoons, forks, after dinner coffees and
knives.
The second night a small rocking
chair disappeared and several velvet
covered footstools and nice little arti-
cles of br;c-a-brac designed for Christ
mas gifts. The third night all the chill
dren's Christmas toys that had been
carefully stored away in Santa Claus
cupboard by Colonel Payne and his
wife, ready for Christmas eve, disap-
peared, and the fourth night the cellar
was pillaged Of its wine and fruits.
"Lo0ks as if it was somebody inside
the house," said the colonel after we
had been over the ground pretty we'll.
''Not exactly" said l, ''or why would
they take a rocking chair?"
The party that accompanied me
through the house consisted of the

colonel and his wife. the Oldest dauSh-
ter, girl Of fifteen. and the coonel's
private secretary. William Winter.
"This is the window they set il at
the first night" said Winter pointing
to bay window on the ground t:ocr

this is the one they got in 1T the other
nights pointing to another hi: win
dow that was in the staircase hall
alongside the front door
%'Why didn't they always enter ut the
same window:' | asked carelessly.
''That's what hothers me- said
Winter, but you can go sec for your
self that they didn't pointing to tram
pied places under both of the windows.
':You see it was this way" said the
colonel. Eve We're greatly alarmed the
first night when the silver was taken,
and we set watch over the things.
From that night to the present this
house has been steadily guarded from
the inside every night, from dark until
daylight. And yet we have had three
robberies during that time. 1t is the
strangest thing l ever saw, and I'd
give $500 to catch the burglars

tried to steal some things out Of the
church last night and !, week ago they
broke into The office of the gas COM

''Are you familiar therc?" asked.
Yes" said Winter =
''Onc thing more, colonel, before l
CO." said. "Will you tell me the
name OF the person who was on guard
in your house the last three nights?"
Il was the person." said Winter.
'All right, colonel" l said. IL am
going back to the city today to stay
about week, but l will be back
Christmas eve, and then l will look up
your thief for you. And, by the way.
you might get ready for your Christ
mas tree, for l expect to give you all
your things back in time for your
Christmas celebration"
The colonel looked skeptical and Win
ter shook his head sadly.
Don't you think you had better stay
here if you are going to look for him ?
asked the colonel.
"No" l said. 1T isn't necessary
Good day, you can look for me Christ
mas eve."
said goodby, but l didn't leave
Ridgewood after all. only wen1

London ms It Was.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates" makes the statement that the old name of the city Of London was written Lynden or Ilyndin, meaning "the city on the lake" An old tradition gives us to understand that London was founded by Brute. descendant Of Hneas, and called New Troy or Troy noyant until the time Of Lud. who sur rounded the town with walls and nam- ed 1t Caer-Lud. or Lud's town. This latter Is probably the correct version Of the story, if for no ether reason be- cause lt Is an easy matter to detect a similarity between the expression Lud's town and London. lt Is claimed by some writers that there was city on the same spot l,l07 years B. C., and 1t is known that the Romans founded a city there called Londinium A. D. Gl.

But in the meantime the Alaskan desires humbly and negatively Co help the cause. lt don't want to eaS, any Straws in the way of the KstchIkan giant and would ialn lav the premises for question that seems of immediate importance.
 The delegate bill that Gov. Swineford desires to expire, will probably be killed.
 Congress, says Marshal Shoup, will grant territorial government Go Alaska wheneyar the people make lt known that they wan, it. And from what congressman say the Marshall Is correct in his assertion.

When SIX Was Precious.

Common as is silk nowadays, in ear Her times lt was most precious ma terial. When it was first brought Into Europe. silk commanded three times its weight fin gold, and so valuable was 1t deemed tbAt In the reign of Tiberius law was passed forblddlng 1t to all save noble ladies and prohibiting men from wearing 1t on the ground of It's effemlnacy. So unusual was 1t even POO years later for man to'wear silk that every historian of the time Of Heliogabalus noted the fact that that emperor had silk gown. For ages it continued at an abnormally high price. Charlemagne in the year TS0 could send to King ofra of Mercla no more valuable q present than two silk coats.
