In certain parts of Russia the chill
dren at Christmas eve begin playing
pranks that are as odd as they are
amusing. Chief among their drolleries
is that of Disgusting themselves as ami
mails and in the assumed costume of
wild beasts disporting themselves
through the neighborhood. AS many
skins as possible are secured, and in
these the leading boys are clad. Wolves,
bears. ostriches even. are represented.
All of the boys gather in one party,
those who are not posing as brutes
forming train for the escort and dis
play of the pseudo menagerie. Some
act as keepers, holding their disguised
companions in check, while others star
tie the quiet of the night by rude
strains drawn from harsh and primi-
tive musical instruments. Torches are
borne, and in the fitful light, opposed
by black shadows the scene is at once
groteSque and vivid.

In some places in OXfordshire, Eng

servant to ask the hired man for n bit
of ivy to trim the house. If he turned
a deaf ear to her opportunities or for

of his breeches and nail them to the

This was supposed to debar him from

Christmns at the North Pole.

The candles burn on the Christmas tree;
They burn with u ruddy fame,
And the little Eskimo looks with glee
Upon picture book and game.
He dances In ecstasies of delight,
And he claps his hands for joy
And then climbs into the branches bright.
Where jngles the rosy toy.
Then with an expression of peace supreme
And twinkle of heartfelt fun
The candles he pluclSs In lotos dream
And gobbles them one by one.

names. one patient named Kelley was
knocked down by ono of the alton

Moretown was assaulted by the nurses
and died the next day. There were
bruises on his body but none on his

had no personal complaint to make OF
his treatment at the hands of tho
nurses. lie said the nurses were not
properly governed and they acted like

propriated by the nurses. When eggs
were 40 cents u dozen the nurses at on"
time took 81 eggs that were intended
for the patients and some of the pa
tients got no eggs, when they should
have received two each. The patients
made no protest against these things
because they feared the result. Mr.
Morse said if the nurses had thought
the superintendent was likely to have
been around tho wards they proba III y
would not have taken the food which
was intended for patients. He had
