THE ACTORS CHRISTMAS.
Life on the Boards Is Not All a Happy
 Holiday.

Holiday.
 q like Christmas" said an actor. "No two are ever alike in my busi- ness. Last year. for instance. the con- pany I was with was four weeks be- hind in salaries. and we were simply hanging on with the hope of the big houses Christmas day pulling us out a little. We were playing one night stands and left some little town in New York state for Wheeling. W. Va, right after the performance. It was a trip that called for three changes of cars. and there were no sleepers in any of them.

No eating stations were honoFtd by US, and we arrived at Wheeling too late to give a matinee performance. our manager had two black eyes and a broken wrist. and our star had lost new set of teeth. without which be refused to play at night
 'The report had it that we were all in jail. and there would have been no house anyway. We had 10 get up three benefit performances before we could get money enough to buy tickets 10 New York. but We got there. How ever. as I said before. Christmas days are not all alike"-Rufalo News.

'I went to that sale not because 1 wanted to or was interested or expected to buy any thing. but because I've an impertinent grandniece who hinted was too old to be in such a crowd.
 After awhile the auctioneer offered package as big as a sack of four, and bought it for SJ cents. Then when I brought 1t home I found it contained nothing but a lot of worn. threadbare clothing mended almost to death. I was just about to force it on that grandniece of mine and make her distribute 1t 10 some poor families when found a letter in the pocket of the coat I've sept that letter. The writer was a young girl from down east in Massachusetts. She was send ing that clothing as the only Christ mas gift she could make for her broth CT Ben, who lived in a city in Wis consin-

From the YuIesids cynie.

Thank heaven. it isn't only the aris tOcrat who can have a family tree al Christmas.
 Be Christmas white or Christmas green.
 It's all the same to you
 If Christmas finds you all serene
 And doesn't make you blue.
 It doesn't take a magician to trans form a small boy into a turkey gob. bier.
 When Santa Claus comes down the chimney be chases many a man up the spout.
 It's the vanity of the sex thsi prompts the female turkey to wonder how she is going to be dressed for the Christmas dinner.

Strange cS7stmas Superstition.

In north Germany person must not spin during the twelve nights of Christ mas lest he or she should walk after death. nor after sunset on Saturday, for then mice will eat the work. If it is desired to have money and luck all the year round. one must not fail to eat herrings on New Years day. nor if you wish to be lucky must you rock an empty cradle or spill salt wantonly or cross knive.'or point at the stars. If a dirty cloth is left on the table over Christmas night 1t will make the an gels weep. If you point upward to the rainbow it will make the angels feet bleed. and if you talk of cabbages while looking at the moon you will hurt the feelings of the man fin it.-Tit- RffS

QUEER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Some of the Things Found by tho
 British Dead Letter Office.

British Dead Letter Office.
 During the ten days preceding Christ mas about 190,OO0 parcels are handled every twenty-four hours by British postOfIice officials, or approximately 1,IjO.000 for the entire ten days during which the rush lasts.
 The contents of many of the parcels are. 10 say the least, somewhat curi- ous, says the Pictorial Magazine. A hamper of live leeches, for instance, seems a strange sort of Christmas gift. So does an artificial leg. Yet both of these were among the parcels treated" last Christmas. Another long coffin shaped box excited suspicion on account of the odor emanating there from. On opening it, however, nothing more dreadful was found than a young alligator in d dormant condition. An other evil smelling hamper was found to contain no fewer than 3O0 dead mice. while yet a third inclOsed a de funct puppy consigned for pOstmortem purposes 10 an eminent surgeon.
 Christmas presents of live animals are constantly being sent through the post Notwithstanding the fact that the practice is strictly prohibited. Pigeons, rabbits. white mice. rats, ferrets. silk worms, lizards. snakes. guinea pigs anu even on one OsCasiOn a pet lamb have all been dealt with at some pe- riUi or other.
 No longer ago than last Christmas eve IoX was intercepted containing 15J live frogs. and a short time before twelve healthy young sdders were dis covered in an innocent looking hamEer which was supposed to contain poultry.
 Some of the incIOSures are decidedly sarcastic Of this class was a two foot IOEz cane bearing the fE5orseueut- A Curistmas present for Johnny. For outward application OnIy. To be vel rubted fn--
