CHRISTMAS NEAR THE POLE.
Where Seal Meat and Whales Blubber
Take Turkeys Place.

II think Christmas, 1883, was my
most memorable one" said General
Greedy, the artic explorer. with my
command l was proceeding southwark
in the hope of obtaining help, and
about the Goth of October we en-
sconced ourselves in a little hut at
Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was
running very low, and we were on
very short rations, every one being al
lowed just food enough in each TWEEN
ty-four hours to sustain life. Under
these depressing circumstances and
amid the awful silence of the polar
night the cheerfulness that we contin-
ued to maintain was remarkable.
christmas day came at last-Christ-
mas in the arctic regionsl At @ o'clock
we had our breakfast-thin soup made
of peas, carrots. blubber and potatoes.
Our Christmas dinner was served at /
o'clock-first course, stew of seal
meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and
breadcrumbs; second course, served
one hour after first stew of raisins,
blubber and milk dessert, a cup Of
hot chocolate. One of our party had
some tobacco still left, and he very
kindly made a cigarette for each one
In our little party.
II will wager that in all Christen-
dom that day not another present was
given or received that gave such in
tense delight to the recipients as did
those little rolls of tobacco and paper
They were quickly afiame and being
puffed away at for dear life, and thus
my most memorable Christmas
Christmas near the north pole-ended
In smoke. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Vacations as Christmas Presents

In letter to the employees of the
Bourne mills of Fall River, Mass, an
nouncing the regular profit sharing div
idend on Dec. "a last, Treasurer George
A. Chase said THE board Of directors

ton, to the amount Of 80 per cent OF
the average weekly wages" This
promise was faithfully kept.

KING HERoD'S ROOSTER.
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 a holy bird and
a knowing one There is a pleasant
tale of him and st. Stephen, the first
martyr, whose day is Dec. 20, close by
his dear Lords.
st. Stephen YVES King Herod's stew
ard, It 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. I'm mediately he
set down the huge platter and ex-
claimed:
"No longer, Herod, will be thy serv-
ant, for greater King than thou is
born"
what aileth thee" cried the king
wrathfully. do you lack meat or
drink that you would desert my serv-
ice for another'sT
"Nay," answered Stephen; Il lack
neither meat nor drink, but the Child
that is born this night is greater than
all of us, and him only viii | 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 us"
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.-Abb

Just to own fer one short second that

And twas lack of ammernition tina, at

Was in findin' that some bullets had
gone through that toilet set.
But we plugged the punetures in it, and
we plugged the wounded, too,
And agreed we'd arbitrate it, and the

So we sent a gift committee, but they
came back sorer yet,
Fer the teacher ID Huttered eastward,

An Old Christmas Custom.

A century or two ago there was a
custom in Germany for all the parents
in town or village to send the pres
ents they designed for their children to
one chosen individual, who called at
each house clad in a motley robe, a
mask and a huge fiaxen wig. Knock
ing on the door, he called in a loud
voice for all the good children to ap.
pear and receive the gifts which the
Christ Child. the Christ-Kindlein, had
sent them. This was the primeval
Kriss Kringle. Coleridge describes this
custom and records that the bad little
children had rod left for their cor.
rection.-Brooklyn Citizen.

THE kaiser'S
L Christmas.

~ROBABLY no European court
gives Christmas presents on so
extended scale as the kaiser's.
Every one gives presents to ev-
cry one else, and for weeks before
Christmas secret inquiries are made
about the most suitable gifts to be-
stow. The empress and her seven chill
dren mysteriously dash about Berlin
and Potsdam, visiting jewelers., toy
shops and other establishments where
something new or striking is to be had,
and they hold levee every morning
of tradesmen whom they have no time
to visit.
The kaiser does no shopping him
self, but he Is the greatest Christmas
box giver of all, and his presents IN
every case exactly at the desires Of the
happy recipient. Early in December
he makes list of the persons to whom
he intends making presents. His wife
heads the list, and at the foot is usual
ly some old pensioner or invaded
housekeeper who has served the Ho
henzollerns for half century.
Soon before Christmas the royal mint
sends the kaiser bag of bright, new

majesty fills his pockets when he goes
walking in the parks at Potsdam, and
the little children and old men and
women who are fortunate enough to
meet him or soldiers standing sentry,
stamping in the snow, are certain of a
gift, accompanied not infrequently by
a joke.
The kaiser's best side is seen at
Christmas. There Is story current
that once near the palace of Sans
Souci the kaiser came upon a half
frozen sentinel with very red nose and
eyes. The sentinel, with stiff fingers,
brought his rife to the salute.
"Cold day." said his majesty. The
sentinel did not reply, but his teeth
chartered.
"How long have you been on duty"
asked the kaiser. Still no reply.
"Stupidr' said his majesty. why
don't you speak when J. address your
The sentinel moved his jaws and lips,
but no word escaped. The kaiser burst
out laughing and, turning to his ad-
jutant, said:
Take this chap into the palace, put
him before a fire, thaw him out, par
ticularly his jaws, see he gets a big
hot drink and big feed, and, here, -
turning to the sentry, take this and

The empress is always practical with
her gifts. Every year her majesty
grows more popular among the best ell
ements of the people. Her unassuming
ways, entire freedom from hauteur,
consideration for servants and kindly
interest in the welfare of the poor and
helpless endear her in ever widening
circles of Germans. She is fond of pre-
senting ladies with costly lace.
