Comnlicating Christmas.

Edward Box writes, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, that there must be some
radical and growing departure from the
right and best way of celebrating Christ
mas when each recurring year we hear
a larger number of men saying: Well,
I'll be truly thankful when this Christ
mas business is over And they are led
to this remark generally by seeing their
wives, mothers, sisters or daughters
reach Christmas day utterly tired out
with the prospect of a siege of illness as
soon es Christmas is over. And it must
be confessed that this state of affairs
exists in thousands of homes. Women
themselves frequently acknowledge
their satisfaction when the day is over
Now there is always something wrong
when we make burden of our pleas
ures. And If one of our sources of pleas
ure in the calendars greatest gala day
Is derived from a feeling of thankful
ness that 1t is over, there is something
askew either in the way We prepare for
Or spend, the day."

RELIEF FOR eAsTAwAYs.
Eupply Depots Are Established by
New Zealand on Various
Islands.

The French bark Anjou was wrecked
on one of the Auckland islands, 200
miles south of New Zealand, eight
months ago. The crew lived for week
solely on the fish they caught, and the
outlook was dark. Then one day two of
the men found near the shore depot of
supplies, containing variety of food
and sufficient clothing to last the COM
pany for at least year.
Great was the joy of the castaway
crew, for they were in sore straits
when they discovered the benevolent
provision that had been made for ship
wrecked sailors. A few weeks later the
castaways hailed passing vessel, and in
few months they were home in France
again.
The New Zealand government had es-
tabfished this supply depot. 1t proved
so serviceable to this party of unfor-
tunates that the government has since
placed similar depots on all the island
groups south and southeast of New Zea-
land, and also on the Kermadecs to the
northeast.
The government wants 1t known that
the supplies await any sailors that are
cast away on these volcanic rocks. Six
depots have been established
The islands are in the track of the pre-
vailing westerly winds, and on or near
the favorite route of sailing vessels trav-
| cling east from Australia to the Atlantic.
None of them has been occupied by per-
manent residents, though they have oc-
casionally been places of temporary So
| journ for visitors, shipwrecked crews
and whalers.
Auckland and Campbell islands were
occupied by French and German astro-
nomical parties in 1874 to observe the
transit of Venus. The Antipodes islands
are almost inaccessible and scarcely de-
serve their name.
The man who discovered them
thought they were the actual antipodes
of the spot occupied by Greenwich OBJ.
servatory, but it has since been discov
cred that they are the antipodes of Bar.
fieur Point on the north coast of France
about 120 miles southwest of the observ.
atory of Greenland. The British have
long maintained supply depot for cast.
aways at Sunday island, in the Kerma
decs. and the New Zealanders have now
established another depot on Curti:
island, in this group. Depots have alsc
been placed on the Bounty islands ant
Snares island.
Here and there along the coasts thu
government has erected posts with fin
gers indicating the direction of tn,
depots. 1t is hoped that no other cast
aways wili have to live for week OF
one of these islands without KNOWN:
that relief has been provided for them

pISAGREEABLY AGREEABLE.
Young Man Was There with the
Oily Approval to Nauseat-
ing Extent.

A story told of the late James r. Joy
is at least characteristic. He was never
weak in his likes or dislikes, and among
the things that he dearly liked were
honesty and naturalness. The attempt to
appear what one were not was to antag-
onize him, says the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune.
Mr.. Joy had many positions at his dis
posal, and an applicant for one of them
came with gilt-edged credentials. The
young man presenting them was of good
appearance, finely educated, and the son
OF one whom the financier had respected
fol years. Wise as to his tongue the youth
would have a walkover.
The older man purposely engaged the
younger in conversation. The latter re
piled in smooth sentences, delivered in
dulcet tones. Mr.. Joy would make a
statement carrying an opinion, and there
would be unctuous approval from his
caller. This got on to the nerves of
the sturdy old gentleman. He advanced
an opinion Numerically opposed to the
one delivered but few sentences be-
fore. The youth was right there with
his oily approval. The railroad magnate
wondered how far it would go, and put
the test:
Don't you think that this is q much
warmer summer than last!"
"Unquestionably."
"But on second thought think it con-
siderably cooler"
you are certainly right, sir"
young man, you are so persistently
agreeable as to be disagreeable."

Rabbit Plague in Australia.

THE reward of 100000 offered by
the government of Australia to any
person who may devise a successful
mode of exterminating the rabbits,
whose numbers make them a pest, is
still standing" said A. Mcdonald, of
Melbourne. 1T was ohered a good
many years ago, and great many peo-
pie thought they saw an easy way of
getting nice lump of money, but so
far no effective scheme of eliminating
the Dummies has been presented. No
matter how fast they are slain they
breed with such rapidity as to DEFY
distinction and continue to plague the
cattlemen and farmers. They are
shipped to London by the thousand in
refrigerator vessels, where they are
eagerly bought by the English, who
seem to prize them as an article of
food. In Australia few people will eat
them. m."-Washington Post.
