The penuri.u. CARLYLE.

1t Is no drawback for a Christmas
gift to be useful as well as ornamental.
but there is pathos in Carlyle's presen-
tation of Il washing table to his wife
at Christmas, 1850. At that time he
had long escaped poverty. but could
conceive nc more pleasing gift than
this most unitarian article which he
promised in a note which the curious
may still read at his house in Chcyne
row:
The Prophecy of a Washstand TO the
neatest of all Women. Blessings on her
bonny face and be it ever blithets me, as
1t is deal blithe or not. r. CARLYLE.
Dec. %, 1850.
This message appears to have been
written in a hurry, as if Carlyle. hear
ing the clocks strike midnight, eXclaim-
ed: God bless my soul. It's Christ
mas day. JEANNE should have a pres
ent. She spoke of Il washstand the
other day. She shall have it," And
he forthwith penned the promise there
of. Anyway. he gave Il five pound
note, and Mrs. Carlyle bought Il marble
and mahogany washstand. London

Although ii may seem incredible, it IS
q fact that not so many years ago
Christmas was considered a superSti-
tious festival and was stopped being
held by the strong hand of the law.
Holly and mistletoe We're destroyed
and were called the plants of the evil
one" Cakes and wines were consid-
cred impious by the superstitious.
When Oliver Cromwell was protect
or. he ordered all the most important
towns in England not to observe
Christmas, as he considered it to be a
hurtful custom.
Yet a stricter law he commanded to
be kept so that people might forge,
Christmas. That was that all the mar
kets We're to be held OIL Dec. %.
Naturally this created a great still
among the country folk, and they de
termined thenceforth to refuse to obey
his strict and extraordinary law, which
he tried to enforce, but all to no pur
pose.

TELL OF TURKISH MISRULE.
Extortions That Are Practiced Upon
Unhappy Armenians.

From Armenia comes the newS that
the oppression Of the tax collectors
surpasses any incident of the kind
furnished by the past. Not only are
the collectors claiming arrears for the
last eighteen years, but they refuse
to take into account the thousands of
A~rJneniaus who persisted during the
massacres or fed the country in con-.
sequence of those events, and they are
demanding the same amounts from the
villages as before the disturbances. A
missionary from Angora says that the
amount of taxes demanded from that
town is ten times as great as the total
valuation of the real estate. Armen-
ians in several districts are petition
ing the Russian authorities to let
them emigrate to Russia. In contrast
with these reports are the dispatches
from Macedonia to the London Times
to the effect that in no single instance
can the burning of villages and other
outrages committed in northern Mace
donia be attributed to the Turkish
soldiers or irregulars. The military
authorities have behaved with an ex'
~traordinary clemency and the troops
have been kept well under control
The outrages were committed by Bull
garian bands on villages which 70
fused to contribute provisions and am
munition for their use.

NATIONS AND LAUGHS.
The Various Ways Different Peoples
Have of Showing Nirth.

All the world laughs, though the ma
tons have different ways of showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
hearty or as expressive as the Euro
pean or American. 1t is oftener a tit
ter than ii genuine burst of merriment.
There is little character or force in it.
AS for the Arabian laugh, we hear
little of its hilarious ring through the
ages of mir.h in the old world. The
Arab is generally Il stolid fellow, WHO
must see good reason for Il laugh or be
surprised into it. In Persia Il man who
laughs is considered effeminate. but
free license is given to female merri-
ment.
One reads of the grave Turk" and
the sober Egyptian" but it is not re
corded that they have never moments
of mirth, when the fez hobs or the veil
shakes under the pressure of some par
ticularly good thing" In Mohalnmed
himself Christian writer's have noticed
%cOrdiality and jOcoseness. and they say
there is a good ringing laugh in the
prophet, with all his seriousness.
An American traveller in Europe re-
marks the Italian mirth as languid, hui
musical, the German as deliberate, the
French as spasmodic and uncertain. the
upper class English as guarded and not
always genuine. the lower class Eng
lish as explosive. the Scotch of al
classes as hearty and the Irish as rol
licking.

German Home Life.

Last Friday afternoon upon the invi.
tation of Mrs. White. the members of
the Fortnightly Club and the members
OF the Monday Club met at the execu.
tive mansion to listen to an informal
talk on Germany by DR.. Preston w.
Search. The doctor began by noting
the great reforms accomplished by
Women's clubs since their inception
about thirty years Ago., and then he
gave a graphic description of the Ger
mar home. school system. and the
numerous classical associations about
Vienna. To say it was highly en-.
joyed is putting it very mildly. And
when the doctor favors Bismarck again
a host of friends is already assured
him.

A Pretty Party-Misses Ethel Barnes
and Ruth Plants gave a valentine
party last evening to about fifty of
their young friends at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. D. Wakeman. The color
scheme for the evening was pink an.
white and the rooms were deliberately
decorated with carnations and smilax
hearts-large and small-each bearing
a sentiment of love suitable for the
occasion. The fun for the evening
started with a heart contest-each one.
blindfolded. trying to stick al arrow
into a heart fastened to a sheet. Then
came the merry game of progressive
hearts, places at tables being found by
means of hand painted heart-shaped
score cards. The lucky winners of
prizes at this received hand-painted
boxes filled with candy hearts. Dainty
refreshments followed, highly appreci-
ated by all present. But the guests
were not allowed to depart without one
more contest-this time love beggars.
The young gentlemen were blindfolded
and given silk bags which they were
instructed to fill with love solicited
with much finesse from each young
lady present. The fair one wrote on
a slip of paper how many ounces she
thought his argument merited and put
it into the bag. When the final score
was announced the young man having
received the least love was consoled
with a highly ornamented bunch of
loaf sugar tied with. pink ribbons-a
souvenir truly sweet. Merry good
nights were said and all departed with
happy thoughts of Feb. IA. 1903. Those

the Case.
The McGahey hearing was continued
in the district court before Judge Win
chester yesterday. The state finished
its testimony and the defense did not
put in any testimony in defense. Judge
Winchester then adjourned the hear
ing until next Wednesday at 2 o'clock
when he will hear the arguments in
the case. He intimated yesterday to
the attorneys for the defense that he
would rule against them unless they
had some material legal arguments to
present why the defendant in the case
should not be punished for contempt of
court.
f. S. Allen, local attorney for the
Northern Pacific road, made an appear
ance in the case yesterday. to represent
the material interests of the Northern
Pacific road. Mr.. Allen appeared by
request of the road, at the request of
Mr.. Patterson. as landlord of the
Northwest hotel. In making his APP
pearance Mr.. Allen said:
The Northern Pacific Railway de-
sires such steps taken as will protect
its material interests in the premises.
without. however, either antagonizing
the officers of the law, placing the COM
pany in the position of acting as a
partisan or putting it in the attitude of
supporting the liquor business in
North Dakota. The company has no
interest which it desires to subserve
by making any technical fight on the
proceedings. Quite to the contrary of
this, it is willing and rather prefers
that a full investigation of the facts
upon the merits should be made. An
appearance by the company has been
requested by Mr.. Patterson and an APP
pearance is now made on a purely for
NAL basis, my presence here being sim
ply as local attorney, but it being dis
tinctly understood that beyond so be-
ing present and so appearing on a
purely formal basis, the company takes
