HE TURNED ON THE POWER.
The Timely Suggestion That Was
Offered mn ent-Minded
Autoni obllist.

A prominent Washington physician
furnished considerable amusement to
pedestrians on Pennsylvania avenue
one afternoon recently. The eminent,
but upon this occasion absent-minded,
physician endeacored to leave the Ra-
leigh hotel in his automobile. He had
ridden from some distance with a par
ty of friends whom he entertained at
luncheon at the hotel. When the par
ty was ready to resume the trip the
machine refused to go, and the physi-
clan labored for a long time in the
fruitless effort to induce it to move,
relates the Washington Post.
BY this time a large crowd had col.
lected, and the party seemed to won
der how it was possible for such q
mob to form in such a little while.
Then some rude man in that collec-
ton called out at the top of his voice:
"INhy don't you turn on the gasoline ?"
The doctors facial expression might
have meant anything, although he said
not a word. But he quietly laid down
his tools, his quick eye sought out the
man who had made the suggestion.
and, in a manrer that was Chesterfield
ian to the limit, he said: II thank
you"
Then he turned on the power, and
the machine went sailing off az
smoothly as a cup defender.

TEMPERANCE FACTS.

Arrests for drunkenness in 129
cities of the United States are said to
aggregate $4,000 during the last ifs
cal year.
DR.. Wynn Westcott, an English
coroner, says: 1t is very are that
q teetotaler takes his own life. Dur
ing the year 1899 he held So inquests
upon suicides, 81 being males and Fl
females, not one of whom was q
total abstainer.
At the bottom of the wonderful
physical vitality of the Turkish race
is the universal abstinence of the
common people. They are the most
abstemious race on the earth and the
h%ealthiest. The soldiers, peasants,
merchants and members of the
learned professions never touch alco-
hol, although the upper classes of
Constantinople drink considerably.
The sale of liquor by religious as
sociations in France is causing con-
siderable comment at the present
time. 1t is possible that the force of
public opinion will make itself felt in
Rome and an end made of the
iniquity. The Evangelist quotes NJ.
Clemenceau as stating that "fve re-
]igious communities sell wine whole
sale; six sell liquor Wholesale; two
sell alcohol exclusively; four sell
liquors retail; seven converts are
patented us distillers, and nine as
inns, with billiard playing allowed"
All together there are 1850 religious
establishments in France carrying on
some kind of mercantile traffic.

How Some Fishermen Captured Two
Hundred Sea Mon sters.

Recently the fishermen Of Mid
'zushima, Karatsu, Hizen, were pleas
antly surprised to find a troop Of
dolphins sporting mer1iiy not far off
their coast. writes an observer to the
Chicago Daily News. Immediately
a fleet of fishing vessels, about 40 in
number, prepared for the occasion.
AS Dol as they got behind the ami
mails and formed ascmicircle the men
in the vessel began to raise stem
torian cries and to make the biggest
noise possible in order that they
might brighten the dolphins. The
whole troop, unaccustomed to such
a noise and being greatly frightened,
rushed toward the shore to escape.
This rush meant their capture, for
when they approached the shore the
men lying in wait on the shore
plunged into the water and "tiekled'
them. From ten. to twenty fisher
men touched the animals bodies 50
as to cause them to feel uneasy in
order hat they might rush forward
and jump out on dry land. Thus, in
the presence of a crowd of spectators
who were attracted to the spot, 200
sea monsters measuring from ten to
twenty feet in length and each Of
them such as 20 people could hardly
drag about on land were, one by one,
captured.

The chief thing to consider is the

wings. Cut marshmaIlows into thin
strips for the bodies and press the
wings into them. Next proceed to
cover the white body with streaks and
fecks of chocolate, dotting the wings
with tinted fondant.
Other oddities in the shape of dolls
may be made of chocolate creams.
Take one bonbon for the head and two
more for the body. Each one should
be speared by a toothpick. Pinch one
side of the chocolate cream until it
looks something like a nose. Cut out
a piece on either side for eyes; make
another slash for the month, then
with toothpick make imitation hair
on the "Topsy." Dress in a crisp red
paper gown, with a black sash, and
suspend from the tree with black baby
ribbon.
Artificial snow on the topmost
branches of the tree will add to its
wintry appearance. To make, dip bits
of cotton into glue, then sprinkle with
mica to initiate the sparkle.
The illumination of the tree is an
important problem, for by the indis-
Greet use of candles many a joyous
Christmas has been turned into one of
mourning. Tiny Japanese lanterns
are much safer than unshielded can
dies, and they give a prettier effect.
The small square lanterns with col
ored mica sides are also safe, for they,

pretty little ceremony may be
participated in by the children before
and after the distribution of the gifts.
When everything is in readiness, the
little people are invited into the room
and told to sing their welcome to
Santa Claus, for, of course, the patron
saint is expected. In the midst of the
lively song, Santa Claus Is Coming"
good old Saint Nicholas appears on
the scene, snow besprinkled and jolly,
with a pack on his back and to the
music of sleigh bells. The Children
salute hif with "All hail! Good Santa
Clause on this merry Christmas Eve"
Santa CFaus responds cheerily, and
the distribution of the gifts proceeds.
At the close of this part of the pro-
gramme, Saint Nicholas says good
night" to his subjects. At this signal
the little people rush forward and sur
round the tree under which he stands.
All joining hands, they sing Jolly Old
Saint Nicholas" and circle about the
tree. After several lively Christfas
songs. they remain quiet about Saint
Nicholas and sing their good night
song, to which he responds with many
bows of appreciation.

poor stocking was terminated in the
middle of the leg.
AS a warning to disobedient schol-
ars. Master Perkins used to relate the
fact that when he was a schoolboy the
master left the school one day. with
strict orders for the boys not to leave
the house. Six of them disobeyed and
went to a brook to play, where they
were surprised by Indians and muir
dered.
On the breaking out of the War of
1912, George Leonard Perkins was ap-
pointed paymaster of the district in

He had the honor of being one of the
passengers on Fulton's steamboat on
its first trip. Young Perkins walked
from Norwich. Conn, to Poughkeep-
sic when he heard that the boat was
to go down the Hudson. and was re-
warded for his trouble by a ride in
the wonderful vessel.
He lived to be over 100 years old.
Perhaps his long life was due to his
abstemious habits; he used neither liquor
nor tobacco. His advice to young men
was to take no liquor except by the
advice of a physician, and mot then

SNOWFALL cakes may be made by

trees. Nowadays, instead of this bar
barity, beautiful tissue and crepe pa
pers are fashioned into garlands. fans,
parasols, horns and such gifts as are
described in the foregoing.
One of the prettiest suggestions for
distributing the smaller gifts is to
have them imbedded in artificial or
anges. This may be done with either
muslin or paper, and though many of
the articles will not fit the receptacles,
they can be made to do so by a little
padding with cotton or tissue paper
Orange colored crepe paper makes

not only pleasing to the children as
novelties, but add greatly to the ap-

paper, which is more effective, to car

Some of the small packages may be
converted into snowballs by wrapping
the gifts in cotton batting and sprin-
king with tinsel powder. If there are
lights on the tree, the glittering snow
balls will be the chief attraction to
the animated little people.
A Domino Tree may be easily
trimmed as follows: Make a layer
cake, baking in a shallow tin. When
the cake is cold it should be cut into
oblong pieces the shape and size of
dominoes. A tin cutter can be pur-
chased, or the timer can make one.
Dip the tiny cakes in a boiled icing,
using toothpick spears to accomplish
this result. When the icing is cold,
