Stuart's luck had been marvellous.
After leaving Chambersburg, he
marched ninety miles inside of tweu-
ty-seven hours, although numbered
with his artillery and a large herd Of
captured horses and though wearied
by the excessive tax Of two days and
nights of constant marching together
with some hours Of sharp conflict, he
forced the passage Of the Potomac .uu-
der the very eyes Of forces fresh and
which largely o~utnumbered his own.
His only casualty was the wounding
Of n man. Two men who had strag-
gled were captured.
One more remarkable instance be-
fore this paper is completed: On the
18th of September, 1864, Lees army
was concentrating at Warrenton. His
flank movement had flung Meade back
toward Manassas. Stuart was ordered
with two brigades to make q reoonnoi-
sance towards Catlett's station, on the
o. 6 A. railroad, and report his OBJ.
servations promptly to General Lee.
To perform this he passed through the
LITTLE hamlet Of Auburn and proceeded
toward the line Of the railroad. Az
he moved through the wooded country
and came to the open country that
bordered the railroad, no was surprised
to find Meade's army moving steadily
porthward. Stuart at onSe dispatched
Major Venable to inform General Lee
and advised o prompt attack upon the
marching column so as to out it in

folks. It Is accomplished by having two empty barrels without heads fastened one above the other and covered with moss, bark and lichen. Through a knot hole Santa's voice is heard. The struc- ture being on casters, the imp inside can move 1t about the platform to the infinite delight of the children.
 Another device for having voice issue from the Christmas tree is accomplished by the use of the telephone. the receiver being hung in the tree. The absent ones can then send familiar tones to tnose present, and when the speakers are very dear and unavoidably absent the message is the best Christmas present that can be conceived of for the occasion. An cleo trical outfit for lighting Christmas trees has been invented at small cost. One clever boy used it with novel results by applying 1t to a magnificent evergreen standing in front of his home. It was tury before Prince Albert's advent n storm which decked the branches with fleecy garb. The heat of the lamps melt ed the snow, and then 1t froze in all man. ner of shapes When lighted up again on Christmas night the pendent icicles and icy armor glittered like a myriad of gems suspended in the glare of shifting lights.

 Finally one of the Greeks sang one of the native seesaw caterwauling songs, and after that the games were given up in favor of an impromptu dance. The Persian and the Turks looked on gravely while the rest danced. They maintained their impossible gravity until AAadji Ras- sim Effendi signified that he wanted to go home He was i'll.

faces of the women in the konak oppo- site could be faintly seen pressed against the kafass, for Faud Pasha was one of the guests and none of his wives could accompany him. Hadji Rassim Effendi was another. There were two Hebrew bank directors, the Persian ambassador and the Japanese consul.
 The house was built originally for a Turkish residence, and three rooms were decorated with holly and mistletoe brought all the way from England.
 The Greek and Armenian ladies were richly dressed in heavy silks and vel vets under their fur lined wraps. They wore profusion of jewels of barbaric de- sign. These ladies riot in bright colors and dazzling effects, and on this occa- sion were painted red and white and had their eyebrows blackened. The oth- CT ladies were handsomely dressed, but it rSmained for the two Jewish ladies to exhibit fine diamonds in extravagant numbers.
 In such mixed assemblage it was al- most impossible to establish anything like sociability. and the poor hostess grew haggard with the effort. The Turks look ed on with preternatural gravity and bowed with exceeding politeness on all occasions. The Persian ambassador might have been a wooden image for all the expression on his face.

 This Is in substance the story of Ray Lam- bertson, Nova Scotia lad of i6. who was taken of an Iceberg at sea by . passing ship and treated in Bellevue hospital:
 Father and went out fishing on Christ mas eye last from Clark's harbor. We were after mackerel and were doing well, but had not been long out when a bay of F'undy fog surrounded us. and we concluded to put back After groping our way east for half an hour we struck against something. or something struck against us and was thrown clean overheard. I know now that the keel of our boat collided with the spur of an iceberg. When rose to the surface I heard the old man shouting, but couldn't answer him. and
 1t seems to me that the spur got between us in the first place and then we were separated altogether by the entire berg. I managed to get on e ledge of the berg and maintain my self there by bracing my shoulder against a slight projection overhead. When thought I was on top the berg would keel over until I found myself on the side. and at one time it turned complete somersault and threw me once more into the water. had good mind to give up then and accept what seemed my fate. but thought of the folks at home and that my father being probably drowned the family would have to depend on me. So I made another effort. The berg was rolling and presented many sharp points here and there one of which I seized and by It's means lifted

Evolution
 OF THE XmAc Tree
A Yuletide Sketch by
 JONATHAN JOYCE.

Copyright, 1903, by C. N. Lurie) The Christmas tree for the display of presents is an evolution. The true origin and significance of this arboreal feature of Yuletide are uncertain. Apparently 1t is derived nom an ancient custom. The pagan races of Northern Europe had a deep veneration for trees as the abodes of the gods. For instance, the linden sheltered Berchta, the epirit kindly to babes. When celebrating festivals the chosen tree of the different gods were decorated with lights, wreaths and tas- sels. and offerings to the spirits were l suspended In the branches.
 The Romans used greenery in the fes- tivals of Saturn. celebrated in December and carried the custom among the Ger mans The Egyptians used trees for interior decoration. their favorite being the palm.
 A work of fiction produced in France over 700 years ago contains a description of tree having its branches from top to bottom decked with burning candles with the figure of a child at the very top sending forth brilliant light. This tree in some way symbollzed Christianity, the candles representing souls and the child typifying Christ.
 It Is said that the Christmas tree was adopted in France and England In 1S40. Prince Albert is credited with having in- troduced 1t in England the first Christ mas following his marriage. which was in lS40. Within a few years after that one of the trees at Windsor castle bore gifts valued at A5.000. But more than a cen- lighted on Christmas eve after a snow improvised Christmas tree, called a" be- sant." was carried in processions in Eng land at Yuletide. It consisted of a pole decked with holly or other evergreens and ribbons, together with oranges and apples and sometimes a pair of dolls.
 The rrepressible Ire for novelty has led to unique variations in Christmas trees. A society woman having a couple of valuable pet dogs got up a dogs Christmas tree and invited forty or more of the neighboring thoroughbred pups to the ovation.
 The device by which Santa Claus is cooped up in the trunk of a portable tree, with his head showing out at times, is very simple, yet very taking with young

daughter of the host and hostess, played Christmas carols on the piano. but mo- body listened, and it was a relief when dinner was announced. It was under stood that this dinner was to be repre- sentative of the Christmas in England. and so there was a roast of beef of as- tonishing proportions following an enor- nous boiled fish on a wooden tray. Two monstrous turkeys and a chicken pie f1ll- ed the table, with the vegetables and small things. such as pickles, olives, etc. Everything was put on together save the dessert. Wines there were and pure wa ter for the Turks and Persians.
 At last everybody was -"ated. The service was well done by three men from the big hotel. The Greeks and Armen- fans had come to dinner, and they did full justice to 1t. The rest of the guests were more circumspect or had smaller ap- petites.. The amount of bread they con- stunned was astounding.
 The Persian ambassador was the guest of honor, with Hadji Rassim Effendi op- posite. The hadji was an orthodox Turk of the old school Fuad Pasha was the same, but he was in some ways not so strict in his observances, so he took a little wine. As the first hunger passed, the wine began to loosen tongues. and one would have imag d oneself in a new Babel. Jests and couplets were made and toasts passed back and forth, in all the thirteen languages spoken.
 The dinner lasted nearly three hodrs The dessert consisted or a great plum pudding covered with blazing rum and several fine mince pies. The Turks seem ed to have an instinctive fear of a pud- ding blazing with Satanic blue lights and took mince pie or fruits. As so much of Turkish cookery is based on. minced meats the Turks thought the mince pies were safe. The Greeks and Armenians managed both pie and fruits and ate with a good coming appetite" everything of fered them. Then came coffee and cigars and the ladies went back upstairs.
 Mir. -Hanly had his cue to bri. g the gentlemen all up as soon as he could. so that they might have some Christi mas games. They had become a little more sociable among themselves, but as soon as they were back among the wom- en the different elements separated again into their component parts. and 1t was desperate work to get them interested in
