Special Correspondence Letter, No. 1404. New York, Jan. 5.~--1Lhe holiday sea- son is past and now, although it may seem a little mercenary, we sit quiet- ly down to count the cost, Don't for a moment think that 1 would abridge our holiday season, or put a padlock on my pocket 'as the season apptoach- es; nothing of the sort. 1 don't think as a nation that we have holidays enough. We would bé no poorer if we took more respite from our daily toil, mental and physical, and devot- ed more time to reasonable rest and enjoyment, but there is such a thing as overdoing that which ought to be a genuine pleasure and turning that which should be remenibered with hap- piness -and satisfaction, icto a sea son of discomfort and regrec; The evil of present giving at Christmas has increased so rapidly in the last twen- ty or thirty years, that to families in , 4a pi tances, it be] | come u positive burden, and its ap- proach is looked on with misgiving and apprehension. But as it won't do to let pur friends and neighbors know exéictly how we feel on the subject of giving presents, we join in th ° shouts, "Merry Christmas" and '"'Hap- py New Year," and from the bottom of our hearts, thank Providence that "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" are numbered among the me- mories of the past, though there is nothing left in our empty pochots, that returned such a pleasant jingle to our ears two days before Christ: mas. We can now sit down on the floor among the broken ruins of doll's Je and arms, of delapidated castles, hark- ing dogs that won't bark, and meow- ing cats that won't meow, tin soldiers and building blocks, ete, to strike the trial balance sheet which shall tell us the story of the profit and the loss, But pshaw !

The closing week of nineteén hund red and five has been one of the live liest in my memory. The streets the stores om knows 8 gone, but r around me time ? Good so, what did things, Aunt and have been thronged from carly morning till dewy eve. Christ mas, evidently had not depleted all the pocketbooks. There was enough left to give New Year's a chance, and the great combination stores were crammed with, eager buyers, and it was as muh as your life was worth to get near the bargain counters, A profound sensation occurred here . | during the week, when the wife of a wealthy gentleman was arrested for shop-iifting. When she was seen her pockets were filled with all sorts of things, valued at a hundred dollars. her husband was sent for, a fine aris tocratic man. The meeting between him and his thievish wife was pitiful; he broke down and eried as if his heart would break. It turned out that the lady thief was 'ich, and: was living in a splendid mansion uptown. She had horses and carriages and servants and gold; she could have drawn her cheque for any amount, and had no more oc- it. The store secured a thousand dol lar - order for goods that were to be given to the poor. What the lady had in her pockets were duly billed and sent home by special express, and the lady, leaning on the arm of her weep- ing husband, walked out of court, and stepped into her _ beautiful carriage of af- Cured of Drunkenness ity ros esi Un- flic- was .

Any one who remembers his address on football, before the students of | Har- vard will remember that he acknowl: edged his acquaintance with fighting men and wrestlers, many of whom he endorsed as good citizens and honest men. My impression is that he has put on the mittens with Bob Fitzsimmons Bhd that Fitzsimmons discovered be- fore the bout was over, that he had not got hold of a tenderfoot. Our pre- sident has his 'own peculiar 'manner of doing things and I suppose we must let him have his own way. Political circles were startled this week when it was known that Mayor McClelland had given Police Commis- sioner McAdoo his conge, and had of- fered the place to Gen. Bingham, who immediately accepted, and né mourn- ing was found on the hat of any pol icemen at the squelchine of Commis- sioner.

Our people are waking up to the fact that every Tammany leader, from old Boss Tweed to Billy Crocker, though they securad the chairmanship to the executive committee as poor as a church mouse, in twé or three years were "millionaires, ranking with the richest men in the city. Boss Tweed, who died in disgrace, left -nearly three millions of dollars to his heirs, and Boss Cracker, whose daughter is now married to a count, gets a dot of two millions and her father's blessine and a foreign title, The poor estate from which Murphy rose is known to all our people, to-day he is a millionaire, he has stocks and bonds and gold ga- lore. Good-bye, Mr. Murphy, Good-bye sweetheart, for we want no more such politicians in Greater New York ¥ --BROADBRIM. Miserable Nights. Nothing so demoralizes an infant and e¢nslaves the parents as to take a cross or wakeful baby from the bed and walk him up and down the floor during the night. The baby cries be- cause it is not weéll--generally because its stomach is sour,its little bowels congested and its skin hot and fever- ish. Relieve this and baby will sleep soundly all night, grewing stronger and better every day." Just what mothers need to keep baby healthy and make him sleep soundly is Baby's Own Tablets, which cure all stomach howel and teething troubles and thus yromote natural health-giving sleep, Mrs. William Holmes, Dacre, Ont., says : "My baby was troubled with sour stomach and was constipated most of the time, ani was always cross and restless. I gave him Baby's Own Tablets' and found them a com- plete success and would not be with- out them." You can get Baby's Own Tablets from any druggist, or hy mail at 25 cents a box, by writing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., - Brockville, Ont. Devil's Pupch Bowl. The preservation of Hindhead, with the weird beauty of the Devil's Punch- bowl, is indeed, something to be thankful for. Sir Robert Hunter has added to his already strong claims on publie gratitude Ly his action in the matter: "Call it Mindhead," said a resident of the neighborhood once to me, "for we have a wonderfully in- tellectual set of residents.' That was in the days when Tennyson lived: at Aldworth and Prof. Tyndaell and Grant Allen represented science, intel- leetual and popular, in the Haslemere district. 1t would be difficult certainly to discover a spot in England where so many able brains have been re freshed as in the lovely air of Hind- head, Curing Rheumatism.

It was fitting that. the memorial statute of Millais should have been placed at the Tate gallery, for the painter himself took a prominent part in the negotiations that preceded the erection of the stately building on Millbank, The plan was discussed and settled as far as it could be by Sir Henry Tate, Leighton, and Lord Car: lisle "in the dining room of Millais, who later on expressed the opinion that the Millbank site was a splendid one and better than anything that could have been found at Kensington. He did not live to see the gallery finished, but -his interest in it was maintained until the end of his life. Only a fortnight before Millais died he wrote to Sir Henry Tate for pho- tographs of the building, and wrote on them, "Quite satishied." The Eternal Woman. Pr.
