Oh, My Stars!
HOROSCOPE.
December 26, 1890.

This should be a fortunate day.
according to astrolosy. Venus. Ju-
piter and Saturn are all in benefic
aspect.
The morning should be q favor
able time for women to make plans,
to seek the companionship Of friends
and to perform deeds OF charity.
There Is q kindly rule for romance
and lovemaking and the stars smile
on elderly wooers, who will be nu-
rnerous in the coming year.
The clergy should fnd this plan
etary government most helpful IN
forwarding their work. especially
that which tends toward charity
and philanthropy.
Large bequests to public institu.
tions will be made in the next few
months. for men Of great wealth viii
come to the end OF their careers.
With the approach toward the end
of the year there will be a more
kindly spirit prevalent toward an
who have held large responsibilities
and exercised great power. This
will affect not only Europe. but the
United States.
Venus is in a place giving promise
to theatrical ventures and there r.
a prophecy that women will do much
toward uplifting conditions sur
rounding the stage.
II is most auspicious rule for
all who have won success in busi-
ness or politics. since the influences
Of the stars tend toward solidify-
ing and standsrdizing of public in
| terests.
Again Saturn gives promise of the
prevalence of reactionary tendencies
that will be beneficial In ways not
foreseen by the Iublic.
The week should be better than
usual in many lines OF trade. espe-
cially in whatever pertains to the
needs OF women.
Scientific preparation OF food will
receive much attention andScookins
is likely to become one Of the fash
ionable avocations of society women
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the augury of much prosperity and
happiness In the coming year, bu,
they must not make any changes.
Children born on this day will
probably be extraordinarily brlgh,
in mind and activity. These sub
jects of Capricorn are generally
successful in life.

NAMING THE BABY

NJ AIMING the baby is delicate op-

and f1nesse than discussing war with
total stranger. When a baby is born
into the home it Is carefully weighed
by the proud father, who always
throws in couple of pounds for good
measure, after which the entire family
will begin to hunt around for q name
that will satisfy everybody until the
baby gets big enough to realize
what has been attached to it.
Under our present mode Of govern
ment the baby Is not consulted about
Its name, but is obliged to accept any
combination Of letters which will keep
an old maid aunt in good humor.
Sometimes the baby is named after an
ancestor who was an advocate Of SIM
plified spelling, and is thus given a
short, jerky cognOmen which follows it
down to old age. Then also it is quite
popular to hunt through the Bible for
the correct spelling of Jereboam, and

DIFFERENT SORTS OF TREES.
What They Mean

WE HAVE spoken of trees in gen.
w eral as the mystics interpret
their significance; now as to the varf-
GUS sorts of trees that grow in Dream
land. Nearly all kinds are Of good
omen, but it is just as well to exercise
a little care in planting your visionary
arbOretum. The belief in trees as
omens in dreams is found in every
country, and their Interpretation gen.
orally follows an obvious rule, being
such as would be suggested by see
ing the tree in the life of the waking
world. Thus, an oak tree seen in a
dream is sign Of flourishing prosper
ity and long life; hale and hearty
old age. Look at an oak in your wax
ing moments and see If it does not sug-
gest just that.
This Interpretation Of dream-oaks
holds true in every country in the
world where oaks grow, as far as is
known, except Switzerland. There,
strange to say, to dream of an oak is
accounted by the Switzer as warn
ing that, from no fault of his own. and
for some trif1ing cause, great troubles
are to come upon him.
The elder, which in some of its va
rieties is a tree, is an excellent omen,
but the fir tree Is better one. The lat
ter tree is sign of comfort, wealth
and station, while the alder-genus
Adjusts a tree of evil omen. Natur-
ally the cypress and the yew are Of
unfavorable significance. The lime,
or linden, predicts that you will soon
take long sea voyage. The maple is
a sign of success and happy mar
riage to the lover, as is also the palm
tree, which foretells, moreover. finan-
cial success to men, and children to
wives. And for good all-round tree
to dream Of there is none better than
the elm-unless it be the fir.
So far the two schools of scientific
dream investigators--the psychic and
the physical-have not paid much at
tentiOn to dream-trees, but as their
fight is still on, they probably will.

RUSSIAN REFUGEES
IN TERRIBLE SHAPE

AND PAIN ON FLOATING
HOSPITALS.
WAS cRAzED FROM THIRST
Men, Women and Children Herded
Promiscuously in State Of Awful =
FiIth-Death Rate is
Very High.

,CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22.-The
condition OF the Russian refugees
aboard the 80 or more ships strung
along the Bosporus is appalling
and a terrible catastrophe is feared
unless the promptest measures are
taken to land the thousands who are
writhing in misery and pain. The
correspondent visited several of thes
floating hospitals and mad houses"
and returned to shore with forebod-
ings of impending calamity.
None of the refugees have as yet
been taken ashore excepting the sick
and diseased and the insane, the lat
ter of whom have been numerous.
AS the correspondent rode across
the BOsporus an unpleasant odor
from the ships was apparent. An
American relief officer accompanied
him. AS soon as they boarded the
ships the clothing of both was vir-
tually torn off by half.maddened
refugees who begged to be taken to
land on the open hills which border
the Bosporus.
Offer Jewels for Crust.
Men, women and children, regard
less of age or sex, are herded to-
gether promiscuously on the shipt
day and night in a state of appaifns
filth. Many women of distinguished
demeanor despite their bedraggled
appearance, offered to barter their
valuables, jewels and furs for a
crust of bread Of glass of water. In
some cases the refugees have been
without water for II days.
The correspondent heard there had
been numerous suicides of desperate
refugees going insane during the
night hours. They spoke of CHASTITY

the sea at night when they were
dying with thirst. Many refugees
were restrained from jumping over.

The American navy is assisting in
transporting sick women to hos
pitals and the Near East relief has
been busy. War-hardened relief
nurses were moved to tears by mad.
dened mothers offering their children
to visitors and the scenes Of separa-
tion have been beyond description.
The death rate has been abnormal
as the result of the biting cold and
the lack of food. The American Red
Cross is offering $4,000 rations daily
and several Americans are offering
donations and subscriptions.
The French government, which is
in full charge of the relief work, is
incapable of dealing with the situa.
tion and is appealing to the Near
East relief, whose funds are limited

One of the greatest pleasures in life
Is to be presented with set of twins
and then try to locate pair of long
meter names for them. Nearly all
twins are given names that sound as
much alike as possible. thus making it
an easy matter to tell them apart after
they have been identified by the pa
rents.
If the baby is boy, the mother al
ways insists upon naming it after the
father, which is splendid arrange
ment. as in after life the father is able
to handle about four-fifths of the sons
mail and get a good, clear idea of the
modern love letter when it has the
proper carburetOr adjustment. In the
case of a girl baby it is always better
to pick out name that has been worn
for several years by some rich relative
who is looking for good place to
leave farm covered with ripening al
falfa and red pigs.

when 1t is the seventeenth member of
the family. Some people use the tele-
phone directory, while others can be
seen feverishly scanning the society
columns in the effort to find some
name which has not been tried on any
of the other children. Benjamin Frank
lin was the seventeenth child, but he
survived his name and grew to be a
great, good man, which teaches us to
forgive our parents for what we re-
ceived.

CHAPTER KIN.

Selling his long line Of spring and
summer wheat, Fitzhugh bought three
million bushels Of the September op-
don. He was now become known as
the greatest Of the bulls Every big
buying order was laid to him. His
appearances In the pit grew more In
frequent. He distributed his com.
mands among six or seven different
brokers. Crops were universally bad.
The United States had not yet felt
the European demand, but 1t would
come soon, and he knew 1t would be
heavy. He knew wheat weuld rise
still higher, and he gradually increased
his holdings in September to six mill
lion bushels.
Then came the cry from European
tnsistent cry-the cry for bread. He
received a code-cable from his agent
I'm Liverpool: Can negotiate i've mill

He sold his six millions at an ad.
