Extensive preparations are being

OF the innensity Of the burdens the
old gentleman imposes on them a few

packages delivered by the express
companies in the city Of New York
alone amount to over two millions, in
Chicago and Philadelphia about a mil.

million and In other cities a proper.
tionate number. When 1t is reflected
that this Ii an average of nearly one
package for every man, woman and
child and that there are something
over eighty millions Of men, women
and children In Uncle Sans domain,
the stupendous proportions of this
Christmas business can be realized.
On account Of the expense of sending
packages by express 1t is estimated
that few IL any Of these Christmas
bundles are worth less than 81. while
some Of them are valued at hundreds
of dollars. 1t is thus seen that the
Christmas business handled by the ex.
