DIRECTOR M'CALL PLAYS
SANTA TO 800 CHILDREN.

Charles A. MacCall, director of COM
pulsory education, is justly proud to-
day OF the manner in which he as
sumed the role of Santa Claus at the
City Hall, which resulted in making
800 children happy. What mattered it
If in the mad rush for aeroplanes one
or two of these up-to-date toys were
wrecked or if there were temporary
h~eartburnings. Every n of the
youngsters got a toy or a box of candy,
they were happy and thankful for
the thoughtful charity of the man who
during the year sees that they attend
school.
When Mr.. MacCall, some years ago,
conceived the idea of Santa Claus at
the City Hall he took care of about
thirty children. Year after year the
number has grown, until this year all
records were beaten when 300 were
cared for. 1t seemed as if everyone
contributed to the cause. From the
heads of the different departments al
the hall to the poorest paid clerk
there came a contribution.
A big table in the offices of the Board
of Education was filed with the things
that bring delight to the hearts o.
children. A bowling, but good-natured
crowd besieged the room. Three at 8
time they were admitted, and the dis
tribution was as equitable as possible
under the circumstances.
Many of the employees of the City
Hall watched the youngsters and tool
a keen delight in their expressions o.
joy and satisfaction as they left lader
with gifts. IN addition to the regu
lation toys. there were given away
wagons, flying machines, wheelbarrow'
and baby go-carts, the latter tn
product of the manual training schools

Shocked the Queen.

The queen of Denmark once paid 8 visit to the Danish colony of Iceland where the good old bishop exerted him. self to the utmost to show her every thing that was worth seeing. The queen paid many compliments to her host, and having learned that he was a family man graciously inquired how many children he had. It happens that the Danish word for children Is al most identical in sound with the Ice landic word for sheep" so that the worthy bishop, whose knowledge of Danish was not so complete as it might have been, understood her maj esty to ask how many sheep he owned and promptly answered: ::
 1.-Two hundred"
 eTwo hundred children?' cried the queen, astounded. 'How can you pos sibly maintain such a number?"

A Country Scene In r46ss.

Here is description of a country scene in Tibet taken from Colonel l.. A. WaddelTs book, "Lassa and It's Mysteries:" From every hamlet the cottagers had swarmed out into their fields and were busily blowing and sowing in the glorious sunshine, form ing pleasing bits of bright color. The men were blowing with oxen gaudily bedecked with pIumes of wool dyed glowing scarlet and blue, with long throat tassels of dyed yaks' tails and harness of jingling bells, while close behind the blowers came the gayly dressed women as the sewers, scatter ing broadcast the seed from aseir bas- ketH. Most of them, men and women, were humming snatches of song in their light heartedness- Among the tall poplar trees imbedding the home steads. neatly picked out with red ocher and whitewash, and among the pollar1ed willow bushes frinsing the irrigation canals, fitted rosehnches,
 ieldfares, hoopoos, pert tits, cinnamon sparrows, shy doves, warblers and thrushes, all blithely nest building"

The Miserable s1oor..

The lives lived by the Moors are, without perhaps any exception, the most precarious and miserable that can be imagined. The poor man is thrown into prison for sums he never possess ed and can never pay, the rich to be squeezed of all he possesses, while those only can hope to escape who are members of families sufficiently power ful to arouse the fears of the local gov ernor should he attempt extortion and not sufficiently powerful to stir up the Jealousy and avarice of the sultan. Even the governors of the provinces suffer themselves as they make others suffer, for just as they squeeze the az riculturist and the peasant so are they in turn squeezed by the sultan and his viziers, and should they fail by con stant presents to maintain a good opinion at the court they can expect only Imprisonment and often death.

swit..rl.na.. Heat Holidays.

.The heat holiday" said a school teacher, "is a Swiss novelty that we ought to introduce here, tt is not right for us to treat our school children in the matter of weather as we do. The Swfss have a maximum temperature for school. When the thermometer goes above that maximum there is no school, whether the month be April, May or September. The children in the insuf- ferable heat are free, to bathe in tin king brooks, to picnic in cool groves or to boat on the wind swept lakes. The Swiss recognize that we can inn pose no greater suffering on little rhil- dren than to conAne them for long hours at a stretch in an intolerably hot schoolroem. They know that chill dren cannot under such conditions learn thing: hence the school direct ors are wise enough by making these heat holidays to save the teachers and the children much misery and much wasted time" Louisville Courier IouraAl

The Mustache.

The home of the mustache is in Spain, and here is the history of it's origin: After the Moors first invaded the country the Christian and Moslem population became so mixed that 1t was difficult to say which were Moors and which Spaniards. The Spaniards then hit upon means by which they could at once distinguish their breth- rem They did not shave their lips any longer and they allowed tuft of hair to grow below their under lips, so that their boards formed the rude outline of q cross. Thus the mustache became a symbol of liberty and fraternity.

The only one of 1t. Kind.

On an evening somewhere about the end of the sixteenth century a traveller from Sweden might have been observ- ed at the door of the Rose theater in London. He was going to see new piece called Titus Andronicus," and in order to follow it in the native lan- guage he bought a copy of the play, price sixpence, at the theater door. When he went home to Sweden he took the book with him to show his wife and friends what strange stuff the foreigner ranted. For 300 years it was preserved and in 1904, being discov- cred in the home of a countrywoman, was transferred for safety to the Lund university. The book is the only one of its kind known to exist
