well, called on Mr. Kcnch, and re-

KING HEROD'S ROOSTER.
The Legend of St. Stephen, First Of
the Noble Army of Martyrs.

The Legend Of st. Stephen, First Of
|. the Noble Army of Martyrs.
Ever since that first Christmas eve
the cock has crowed all night long on
the anniversary to keep away evil
spirits, for the cock is n holy bird and
a knowing one. There Is a pleasant
tale Of him and st. Stephen, the first
martyr, whose day is Dec. 90, close by
his dear Lords.
st. Stephen was King Herod's stew
ard, II seems, who served him in the
kitchen and at table. One night as he
was bringing in the boar's head for his
masters dinner he saw the star shin
ing over Bethlehem. Immediately he
set down the huge platter and ex-
claimed:
mo longer, Herod, will l be thy serv-
ant, for a greater King than thou Is
bern"
What aileth thee?" cried the king
wrathfully. "Do you lack meat or
drink that you would desert my serv-
Ice for another's?"
may" answered Stephen; 81 lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all of us, and him only will l serve"
THAT is as true" quoth Herod, smit,
ing the table with his fist, "as that this
roast cock ON the platter shall crow be-
fore u.s."
Hardly were the words out Of his
mouth when the cock stretched his
neck and crowed Justify, "Christus ma
tus est!" At this proof that Stephens
words were true Herod was so angry
that he made his soldiers take Stephen
outside the walls Of Jerusalem and
stone him to death. And this is the
reason. why unto this day st. Stephen
is the patron Of stonecutters.-Abbie
Farwell Brown in %Lippincott's Maya
zine.

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

0bttC VI hDG tttt9S TWIN Wy ktO
British Dead Letter Office.
During the ten days preceding'Chris
mas about 100000 parcels are handled
every tw~enty-four hours by British
postofice officials, Or approximately
100000 for the entire ten days during
which the rush lasts.
The contents of many of the parcels
are, to say the least, somewhat curl
Gus, says the Pictorial Magazine. A
hamper of live leeches, for instance,
seems q 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 a dormant condition. An
other evil smelling hamper was found
to contain no fewer than 800 dead
mice, while yet a third inclosed a de-
funct puppy consigned for postmortem
purposes to IN 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
and even on II occasion a pet lamb
have all been dealt with at some pc
Rod or other.
No longer ago than last Christmas
eve a box was intercepted containing
15O live frogs, and q short time before
twelve healthy young adders were dis
covered In an innocent looking hamper
which vas supposed to contain poultry.
Some of the Enclosures are decidedly
sarcastic. OF this class was a two foot
long cane bearing the Endorsement: "a
Christmas present for Johnny. For
sxtward application only. TO be well
rubbed in"
