Nobody would dare use the word “chestnut” in reference to a Christmas greeting. “Merry Christmas” is as old as the weather, but always sounds like wit and humor and receives a responsive smile. A Christmas salutation-from a newspaper is expected to begin as above, and everybody is feeling so comfortable that criticism of ancient methods falls abashed before goodhumored appreciation of the writer’s intent. From all directions come holiday sentiments and pleasantries; for a few days stocks, politics and foreign’ complications have taken second place in public interest. Santa Claus has been driv— ing his team of reindeers through the hearts of parents and friends. In preparation for the day of “glad tidings” the pocket-book has not been exactly committed to memory,“dut it has been studied carefully, and in many instances when that useful volume has lacked the necessary quantity of financial reasoning, the tradesman, in view of the urgency of the occasion, has committed the purchase to memory. Kindly feelings and pleasant anticipation prevail, and the children who go to sleep to-night with visions of sugar plums dancing through their heads are but reduced copies of the grown-old youngsters who plan an early rising in order to be first to. say “Merry Christmas.” The jingle of holiday rhymes is in the public ptints and in the mouths ef all people to-day, and the information that the 25th of December comes but once a year will be tendered as frequently and received as gratefully as though there were no calendars in existence.

Should be shunned as a spoiler of sport. The cold-hearted creatures who laugh in their sleeves because it takes 365 days for the earth to complete its orbit and bring Christmas back, and who throw in an extra chuckle for leap year, on account of the additional day, are like icicles in oyster soup. They probably never had a Christmas of their. own; a truly juvenile Christmas, with Kriss Kringle, candy and turkey, and they don’i like to see others enjoy what they have missed. Without fond recollection of the night before Christmas, it is but a gloomy pleasure they derive from the length of the year or from the inability of holiday lovers to make anniversaries come between times like a drink between drinks. Avoid them tomorrow and watch them on the Fourth of July; they will pray for rain to spoil the parade. But though their morose discontent at the general enjoyment of the season of congratulation, feasting and merrymaking will be regarded with aversion, it must be remembered that they are to be pitied for the missing memories of youthful pleasures; they and the boys who have no grands mothers have lives that are incomplete. There are, however, those who take a reasonable delight in the good cheer and jollity of the season who are still sensible enough to look out for theSconsequences of over-indulgence. An avoidance of excess is not an evidence of want of accord with the universal hilarity, but is an exhibition of wise forethought for the day after Christmas. For their amusement a Christmas caroller with a tendency to look matters Square in the face and let sentiment take care of itself has written: Onee more you've survived Christmas Day, With its turkey and mince-pie and jelly, And now you are seeking a way To quiet the pain in your—stomach, On day after to-morrow the prudent feasters will be able to repeat the stanza to their incautious friends with a sense of superior comfort that will enhance to them the enjoyment of Christmas tide, and those. who indulge immodetately, while hearing this version of “I told you so,” will make resolutions for the future that will probably’be kept until New Year’s Day.

He rarely went down street that he did not have one of his younger boys mounted on his shoulder, while another hung to the tail of bis long coat. The anti¢és of the boys with their father and the species of tyranny they exercised over him are still the subjects of talk in Springfield. Roland Diller,* who was a neighbor of Mr. Lincoln, was called to the door one day by hearing a great noise of children, and there was Mr. Lincoln striding by with the boys, both of whom were wailing aloud. “Why, Mr. Lin ~2@0coln, what’s the matter with the boys?” . = he asked. : “Just what’s the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln replied. “I’ve got three walnuts, and each wants two.” . ‘ Sanday In England. Few people are aware how strict a Babbath is still legally ordained in Bngland. The Lord’s day observance act forbids not only Sunday trading, but alsd every possible occupation— walking, riding, rowing or any game— and gntctly enjoins upon all subjects. over nine years of age attendance at church. At the opening of every assize the royal proclamation for the preservation of morality is read. People who are then present for the first time are astonished to hear that the monarch forbids and calls upon the magistrates to punish absence from divine service on Sundays, any playing of cards or other games of chance or haunting of public houses on.the same day. Hverybody found in an inn during service hours is Hable to a fine of 80 cents, the landlord to a penalty of $2.40, and for a successful prosecution church wardens are entitled to a reward of $10. As recently as 1864 Isaac Walton, a manservant, was fined $2.30 for refusing to attend church on Sunday when ordered there by his mistress. About the same time a mother was prosecuted by her son and actually imprisoned for not attending «burch. When Reptiles Ruled a World. There was a time “in the wide re volving shades of centuries past” when our globe was wholly in the possession of walking, swimming and flying rep tiles. Being the dominant type, they divided naturally Into three great classes. In the oceans taey became gigantic paddling enaliosaurians; on dry land, or, rather, wet land, for the whole face of the globe was doubtless a quagmire at that time, they became monstrous, erect dinogaurians, some of which had legs fifteen feet or more in length; those which inhabited the regions of the air were the terrible flying pterodactyls. For a vast but unknown length of time these awful creatures literally. ruled the earth. Finally after they had “seen their day" they began to grow less and less.

He rarely went down street that he did not have one of his younger boys mounted on his shoulder, while another hung to the tail of bis long coat. The anti¢és of the boys with their father and the species of tyranny they exercised over him are still the subjects of talk in Springfield. Roland Diller,* who was a neighbor of Mr. Lincoln, was called to the door one day by hearing a great noise of children, and there was Mr. Lincoln striding by with the boys, both of whom were wailing aloud. “Why, Mr. Lin ~2@0coln, what’s the matter with the boys?” . = he asked. : “Just what’s the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln replied. “I’ve got three walnuts, and each wants two.” . ‘ Sanday In England. Few people are aware how strict a Babbath is still legally ordained in Bngland.

About the same time a mother was prosecuted by her son and actually imprisoned for not attending «burch.

When Reptiles Ruled a World. There was a time “in the wide re volving shades of centuries past” when our globe was wholly in the possession of walking, swimming and flying rep tiles. Being the dominant type, they divided naturally Into three great classes. In the oceans taey became gigantic paddling enaliosaurians; on dry land, or, rather, wet land, for the whole face of the globe was doubtless a quagmire at that time, they became monstrous, erect dinogaurians, some of which had legs fifteen feet or more in length; those which inhabited the regions of the air were the terrible flying pterodactyls. For a vast but unknown length of time these awful creatures literally. ruled the earth. Finally after they had “seen their day" they began to grow less and less.
