CHRISTMAS GREENS
DHARER THAN EYER
Prices for Trees, Holly, and Mistle-
toe Higher Than Last
Year.

Christmas trees and greens are dearer
this year than last. Dealers here say
that this Is not the case. and, yet when
quoting last years figures from memory,
they name prices from % to 20 per cent
less than those appearing on trees and
wreathsg now adjoining most OF the down
town street intersections.
With stands, real Christmas trees are
selling from 80 cents up to $l5. Fifty-cent
trees are all table trees, mostly just
large enough to hide the unembroidered
part OF a small-sized dolly. They are
having a large sale among the city's
many bachelors, the dealers say. Young,
unmarried men, who cannot get home
for the holidays. are buying themselves
these table trees and making their OBJ
servance Just like that at home, only on
a smaller scale.
Another new idea for this Christmas
calls for a set OF small trees of equal
size. one OF which is to be placed at
each place at the breakfast table and
banked with gifts, each member Of the
family to have his own tree and his own
particular taste in trimmings recognized.
Standard size trees-the kind that are
accepted as a necessity where there are
children in the family-are selling at
from $50 to $500. The disease reported
by the Agricultural Department among
sections of the Vermont frs does not
seem to have diminished the supply. A.
least, the local dealers claim that there
are enough other trees proper to do
Christmas duty and which areHgrown in
other parts OF the country to supply every
demand.
Holly and MistIetoe.
Big holly trees are the choicest kind
the dealers have to sell. They are
scarce. 1t is said. and prices charged for
them will not make their scarcity a
hardship for the dealers. One OF these
trees on sale at a Fourteenth Street
seem to appeal to the little ones out
tree. On the contrary. trees more vul-
gar in price. but better fitting the speci-
fcations Of tradition, took the fancy OF
the kids"
Christmas greens, wreaths, potted
plants. sprigs of holly. and mistletoe.
and sprays Of Rascus, are on sale in all
floral stores Wreaths are dearer than
last season. running from 10 cents to SO
Rascus sprays, sold yesterday at 20 cents
each dozen sprays. and many people were
buying this bright colored decoration for
their Christmas display
MistletOe Is said to be dearer this year
than last. because the supply is smaller.
Small sprays brought - cents, but there
are certain potencies in the mistletoe,
which make II a necessary part OF the
well-ordered household in which there
are young people at the season of YuIe-
tide.

UNCLE JED'S TALK WITH WIDE
 AWAKES.

It is~usefulness and kindliness which is to make all the world akin. Scripture says so and Nature illustrates it. You have heard the fable of how the lion and the mouse became friends. Well, this is not so wonderful as some other things service has wrought in the ami nal world and in the bird and insect worlds. There is a little bird in ali gator countries that feeds upon the flies that gather in the alligator's mouth when he lies with it open for victims, but he never shuts it upon his little feathered servant and friend kindly service has made this pair of widely different creatures true friends There is a little fish in the sea called the pilot fish which runs ahead of a variety Of sharks to guide them to feeding grounds, and when 1t sees an enemy 1t runs behind the sharks for ward fin and is thus protected from harm. This Is where mutual service has led to a very queer copartnership:
 
 ants and furnish them with honey dew just as the cows serve you all with milk. This service makes the ants and the plant lice constant friends and companions, and mud ants protect them with cement stables they were cement workers and constructors before man knew any, thing about the uses of cement, Mu- tuai service here makes them kind to enc another. Then there is a part nefship between the crew biaekbirds and the fish hawks, tine osprey, in the construction of nests, You may have seen the great nests of the osprey on the pier sPiAdies in New Lendon har- Der as the steamer passed it. It is bigger than a bushei basket and the crow biaekbirds make their nests in the side of it and may feed upeR the
