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

Some Of the Things Found by the
British Dead Letter Office.
During the ten days preceding Christ
mas about 10000 parcels are handled
every twenty -four hours by British
postofice officials, or approximately
1,75O,OO0 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 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 de-
funct puppy consigned for postmortem
purposes to 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
and even on one occasion pet lamb
have all been dealt with at some pc
riod or other.
No longer ago than last Christmas
eve box was intercepted containing
LEO live frogs, and short time before
twelve healthy young adders were dis
covered in an innocent looking hamper
which was supposed to contain poultry.
Some of the Enclosures are decidedly
sarcastic. OF this class was two foot

triches and weird objects, all piled in
confusion with artificial plants and
floral devices, glittering armor and all
the thousands of odd things that were
being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera Of the year, THE Minstrel
of the Sahara
The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks, and, with the
Opening now only few days Off, the
managers were nervously dreading
that the beautiful effects would not be
finished in time. To add to this fear,
Henry Granger, the artist on whom
the projectors of the great spectacle
had mainly depended, had succumbed
to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home, tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe-
yer. He had been absent from the
painters bridge for nearly a fort
night, and, although his loss was con-
sidered serious at first, some one else
had filed his place, and now he was
forgotten Scenic artists, like actors,
are improvident creatures, and If any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think of aught except the
duties that weighed SO heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, out of work
and helplessly i'll. might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was
favorite generally, and many time
had he gone down into his scant saw
ings to help swell a contribution to
some needy professional in distress. If
anything ever reminded the company
of Granger's absence it might have
been that his little girl, an only one of
seven, came no more with the artists
meals, as she used to when he painted
away up there on the bridge She
was a sweetly coy little thing, her
great blue eyes set in a thoughtful
and pale face, surrounded by golden
curls.
And now II was Christmas eve, at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. Old Pete,
the stage door tender, was startled
from his reveries back in the shadow
of his cage by the sweet voice Of
child. She had "a note from mamma
to Mr. HarJlcraft, the manager" No,
the manager was not around just then,
but she could wait. He might be back
any moment. Tenderly the rough old
fellow led the bonny one to a prosce-
MUM box aud. lifting her into big Up
holstered chair which she far from
diled, bade her wait A busy rehearsal
was In progress. which the child
watched With no special curiosity. for

Ohio Railroads Doing Larger Busi-
ness Under New Law.

VhAu haAAfoaus Doing Larger Bust-
ness Under New Law.
From the Boston Transcript.
The Ohio Railroad Commission has been
studying the effect OF the . cents a mile
rate on the revenues Of the railroads Of
that State and finds that as a whole they
have made money under its operation. A
group Of ten short roads Of limited passer-
ger facilities report losses amounting to
about S56,0o0, but the other lines resort an
increase of $1.232, 80 for the fiscal year
ending June 30. Considering the volume
Of the passenger business Of the Ohio
railroads the increase is small. but its ex-
istence proves that those managers who
pTOphesied that the 2-cent rate could
not be maintained without innicting losses
on the whole system were mistaken.
More people have ridden on the cars"
simply because more have been able to
afford it. In one respect Ohio is better
adapted TO the success Of the experiment
than many of the States which have de-
creed that railroads shall carry people for
cents a mile without regard to profit
or loss. Ohio claims 102 inhabitants TO
the square mile, and with comparatively

much influence. The 2-cent rate has
gone into effect in Kansas this week, and
three of the great systems have given
prompt obedience TO il, while the others
will generally follow suit rather than
force collision with public opinion.
Kansas had in 1900 only IS inhabitants TO
the square mile, and no city of $1,000
population, hence its law may have re-
suits very different from those of the
Ohio statute. Three cents a mile has
hitherto been the prevailing Kansas rate.

the truth, Willie X" has not done so

him last autumn after "a bit of an argu-

three years. Vanderbilt's present jockey,
Bellhouse. the English lad, who rides the

DEMOCRACY OF OWNERSHIP.
But an OIigRrchy of Control i'm Cor
pOrate Undertakings.

pOrate Undertakings.
From the Wall Street Journal
The government OF American commerce
is a democracy OF ownership and an OIL
garchy of control. The great problem of
to-day is how to lessen the power of the
oligarchy by increasing the interest. the
power, and the sense of responsibility of
the democracy.
Put this thought into other words II
appears that the ownership Of the Ameri-
can corporations is widespread. Literally
millions of our people are stockholders in
them, and even more millions are indi-
rectly partners in their profits through the
insurance companies and savings banks
But the majority of stockholders exercise
little CT no power of control They are
quite content to receive their dividends
and say nothing. They are like the citizen
who is content to take whatever govern
ment is provided for him by nation, State,
or city, and never goes to the polls to cast
vote for better conditions.
The great corporations are managed by
directors nOminally elected by stockhold-
ers. although in reality representing in
general some one aggressive interest
which Is able 10 control the annual cleo
tions by means OF proxies, just as the
practical politician Is able ordinarily to
run the primaries and conventions.
In the main. these directors are able,
honest administrators who conduct the af-
fairs OF the companies in the best inter-
est Of the stockholders. Sometimes, how
ever, the directors are more concerned in
making speculative profits for themselves
that In establishing dividends for the
stockholders.
In every board of directors there are
two or three men who dominate all the
