Dana's Interesting story of aea life, "Two Years Before the Mast." Daoa's vessel was collecting hides on the const of California, when Uint coast was in a seml-clvlllzed condi tion, lie thus describes Christmas among the crew: "As there were no hides to take In, and nothing especial to do, the cap tain gave us a holiday, the first we had had except Sundays since leav ing Boston; and we had a plum dutf for dinner. "The crew of the Russian brig, lying alongside us, following the 'old style,' had celebrated their Christinas 11 days before, when they had a grand 'blow-out;' and (as our men suid) 'had drunk In the forecastle a keg of gin, ate up a bag of tallow and made a soup of the skin!' " Certain it is that Christmas Is the one universal festival the round world over; and every resident of a Chris tian laud carries Christmas in his heart wherever he may go. niNCE OF PEACE" Christmas Cheer. "Old man," wrotu the Hillville citi ten, "it was my lntendiu' to give you a fine present fer Christmas, but I roine short this year by the sheriff levyln' on my cotton an' the govern ment on my corn; so I kin only send you a gallon Jug of the last named, which ain't much as my ambitions is fer you; but I'll say this, old boy: There's enough In that jug to make you have the jolliest time o' yer life fer a day or two; ef you can't buy a circus tic ket, there's a whole circus in six drams, an' a eternal movln' plctur' show In 20: so make the most of It!"

His Wonderful Influence Continues fid Widens Through the World. AH the old troublous questieai ef Uie origin and destination of the Gail lee Carpenter have passed, note a writer In Collier's. All the mediaeval worrlment in discriminating betweea human aad divine has gone, all the puKEled inquiry into the miraculous. No longer is mankind stirred over the non-essential. Theories of him fade away, dogmas ef his nature lose their charm. His gentleness has conquered. His influence continues and widens. Slowly brightening, the gleam that touched hi in spreads through the world. His spirit moves on the face of civilization, and makes it kindlier every generation. The touch of bis hand Is on the grief stricken. Nurse, physician, and nun are the messen gers of his teaching. The vestal fires burned out. but never the fires of his spirit, which answer each other from mountain-top to mountain-top across the continents. And deep in the heart of the people they make family life sweeter and ease the bitterness of failure and ignorance and nil life's In completeness. That wonder-working personality was never so potent as to day so insistent and tenderly sure. I'lidcr a thousuud forms, creeds cud names, men strve him. And however far we go in the conquest of nature, Identifying the north pole, climbing the sky, prying open electrical forces mapping out the subliminal, diminish ing sin, disease, war, poverty, Igno ranee always in the advance will bt that gracious figure of the Sinless One who showed I.ove as the rule of life One Perfect Maii ardent and gentle the race will never tire of him.

Yes, I was as rldicrously mis taken as the woman in th- third class smoker. At Hanbury a half-dozen young Methodist ministers once board ed a third-class smoker wherein sat a frowsy woman smelling of beer. The young ministers had been attending u ministerial conference. In their black garb they conversed gravely on con ference affairs, while the frowsy wom an nodded in her corner. As tho train approached the long tunnel, the woman roused herself. She pinned buck lazily a tail of hair that had fallen on her shoulder, and she fixed her glassy eyes on the six pale, black clad divines.

There is at Kaiser Wilhelm's lterlln palace an Oberhofmelsterln, a lady ; who has been described as a court ' chamberlain in petticoats, who has to ' make personal acquaintance with every lady before she may attvud a court. A ball at the Berlin court Is an af fair of much ceremony, but, curious to say, there are uu cloak rooms In ; the palace and all wraps bar to b left In their owners' carriages.
