Young Tommy weeks before had planned old Santa Clans to see -- A. deed so "awful dreadful" none bolder there could be, He'd hide himself near by the hearth and hoar old "Santa" come A -rumbling down the chimney and see flim crawl therefrom, The real, live Santa then t he'd see,with his wooly suit of clothes, His funny face, so red and fat, and lois stubby little nose; With his heeds and loads of goodies peeping from a great big sack Strapped across his brawny shoulders, slung upon his broad stout back, And peered out through the fire -place, shed - dfh r fort ' hhsc cheerful he fol glow; A moment's pause, thee out he crawled and glanced around roeln , Elie kindlyeYes a-strateing as they pierced the corner's gloom.

This ho muttered softly to himself as clot' his work he puffed. He, Baited action to his words, with a `soft Yes, he'd wait nail the lights were oat and all had gone to bed, Then steal down stairs and hide himself aud wait for Kris, he said. ' At last eventful Christmas Bre had come with right good cheer To every one but 'Tommy, whose anxiety and fear Upset hint so that early he'd been hurried off to bed, Where a thousand nervous faneios crowded through his dizzy head.. IIs had lain awake and liatened till 'twee silent all below, And he thought that all had gone to bed and no one'd ever know ; And then he'd tiptoed softly down the staircase to the room Where stood the faithful etrnichair'mid its shadow's deepeat gloom. He'd huddled down with beating heart, and now midst awful pause. Ile held his breath and listened for the stealthy Santa Claus. 'A stormy night," said Santa as he rose up frcm his couch ; "And I .must be up and movin'—wonder where I left that pouch !

And soon the mammoth present -seek Kris'd filled tap' to the brant With boxes, bundles, parcels, toys—a load by no means slim. And' then a whistle ahrill he gave, and promptly there appeared. A throng of little Saltine in costumes strange and weird. A motion from the elder Kris; they closed in on the sack And bore at all together toward a glistening icy track. h e stood in There readiness ton a g toboggan long and wide. The pack was fastened firm thereon; and then off down the slide \Vent Santy as the others gave the big machine a start With frightful speed it dashed along, un- swerving as a dart. Down, down it sped as o'er the verge of Kringle -land it ilew, Straight toward the Earth, far, far below, beyond the reach of view. And as it sped it left behind a cable of stoutest brand, Froin a spindle spun, its free end fast to a stake in Kringlo•land. As the spir-dle reeled with a constant buzz, while the sled dashed o'er the ice, Kris smiled and again began to muse onthe old way's sacrifice. "Froin the eighteen hundreds back," he said, " to the time my work began I used the sleigh and the reindeers when. down to the earth I ran. The deer cost more to keep 'cin shod than I ever thought 'em worth, And they'd stumble on the smallest clouds when I drove 'ern toward the earth. Butnow, in 1920, we don't use nary a deer— Just go kitin' in toboggans down to the terrestrial sphere Likeastreak of greasyiightnin', slidin'down a slippery aide; Get our Christmas job done early; have a cheerful braoin'ride. but, here we are in Chriatendom--" the spindle's humming ceased As slowly the toboggan its terrific speed decreased. The reminiscent Santauickl from Iiis seat 9 Y climbed down, And prepared for distribution of his gifts m Welcometown. He took from neath the high -built seat a few odd-looking things And fastened them together till they formed a pair of wings, Which mounted the toboggan's sides with Santa in between— Then up along the housetops rose a grace. ful air machine. • It swiftly flew from roof to roof, alighting soft and still As Santa down each chimney olid each stocking full to fill. " The next house is the + Tibbs's,if I recol- lect aright," He muttered as a cottage, quaint, old-fash- ioned, came in sight. A moment later on its roof he landed with his sack And forthwith down the chimney crawled, a big load on his back. "Ah, yes ; this is the place," he said, as he reached the floor below Where cowered our friend Tommy peering out with bristling hair. • "Ha ! ha ! my lad," cried Santy as he quickly seized the spy ; "I've caught you. Come along with me. I'll take you where yoa'll try No more such. tricks as these, my boy -to Kringle -land you'll go." Audoff, up through the chimney out into the flying snow He marched poor frightened Tommy, plac- ed him iu the boggan's tuft, Set the flying wings in motion—off then flew the novel craft.

TB,ESIGNIFIOANOB OF DRtAMs. They Hove to do Less With What's lit tie Ea tare whoa WItati a In the AiLettEacit; What tat the actual selelatifia view of dream, ins now is iney be inferred from a lecture which was recently delivered the subjeet at the Royal Institution by Dr,13. W. 1•tich- ardsou. In the poet'sview dreams are visit - ars froln the ivory gate, or, as Shakespeare calls them ."children of en idle brain;" bad science is more prosaic and teaches that dreams may be, after all, " nothing. more then the oomtnon vibrations of terrestrial media acting upon corporealvibratorium," like the sound heard on a wire in tension. long after it has been struck by the mus- ician. " All Inuseial basements bream," says Dr. Riohardso0, "after we cease to play on them;" and if we bring the mi- crophone into use we can hear the dream. This is as.near poetry as seienee will per- mit us to approach in explaining the phen- omena of thought going on during sleep ; for the accomplished lecturer proceeded to inform his audience that dreams not ex- plainable on praysical grounds—there is no mystery about them save that which springs from "blilltiness to fag's," After ,lividing dreams into subjective and objective, and mixtures of both, he went on toclass among the first species dreams produced by indigestion, pain, or fever; while objective dreams are those started by noises or other events going on outside the sleeper, This is a fair sample ofh ruthless ofthe r tales way in whish science dis- poses of " superstition," Ageinat the imagi- native view of the significance of dreams men of science protest, and will probably continue to protest as long as there aro any mon of science left. They quote the old lady in the Spectator, who believed that the earthquake of Lisbon had some mysterious but :suite unexpected connection with the factthat a few days before she had happen- ed to spill some salt at table, Perhaps the mast practical lesson taught at the Royal Institution lecture was one which may assist gas to know- which of our dreams are signs that something is wrong with cur bgdi ly orgauization. Asa rule, said the lecturer, itis better not to dream at all. Dreamlessuess is usually a symptom of all- round health. Achild'a dreams are invaria- bly signs of disturbed health, and should be regarded with anxiety. For adults it is a good thing to know that we may be sure thatonr brains are being overstrained when our nightly dreams relate to events of the day, and if we actually seem in sleep to be continuing our daily work thin is a danger signal whioh must never be disregarded. Whou we fool wearied iu the morning very likely it results from dreams that, we have forgotten, and then the best thing to do is to take exercise. Without coming to any decided opinion as to the supernatural meanings attributed to dreams, we can et least profit by these practical 'huts,. Considered as products of bail digestion dreams cannot be reasonably expected to tell us anything of a useful character or to supply ns with any warning, except one Christmas Toys.

In distant parts of the world, notably in Scottish waters, the sea. serpent has of late been disporting himself in his •acteristic horrific and fearsome manner, affrighting mariners and terrifying timid passengers. Its most recent appearance was several weeks ago in the North Sea, and practically within sight of the Scottish coast, jest off Peterhead. The correspondent sends to his paper a most thrilling story of the " extraor- dinary experience with the unknown monster of the deep," and avers that the parties alleging to have seen the ocean herror vouch for the entire and unvarnished truth of his narrative. His vessel was the good herring boat Harbinger, and she was lying toby her nets about four miles from land. The •log of the event is most circumstantial. Three members of the crew were on deck and three below at ten. Suddenly a dreadful monster made its ap- pearance on the port side, "greatly alarming those on deck." The account continues: The monster deliberately placed two fore feet on the gunwale of the boat at a distance of about thirty feet from each other, the one resting near the pump aft, while the other was placed at the fore block. The weight of the animal was the means of causing the boat to list to one side to a depth of three planks. One man sought refuge in the hold.. The leviathan made a sudden dart with its head atone of the two men remaining on deck, who was immediately seized by his companion and pitched into the hold, he himsglf quickly following. The curiosity of two men below had by this time been aroused by the shouting of those on dock, and they came up the companion way in time to see the monster disappearing beneath the waves. The crew state that the animal re- mained by the side of the boat for fifteen minutes. The heed and neck, tjliey say, were similar to those of a giraffe, and Were cover- ed with a thick coating of hair in black and white patches. Its mouth contained two sets of powerful -looking teeth, and was suf- ficient, as ono of the men said, to swallow an ordinarysized omnibus. ears were of extraorinary The dimensions. and resembled those of a water spaniel. The length of the animal cannot be accurately stated, but it must have been some hundreds of feet in length." This awesome and circumstantially relat. ed tale encouraged ed agehtimers.namad Mr. Robert Grigor of tihe haat Star of Comerty of D nb u e,ath top co ag ac Iuel ur a and tell p his story paper. to sn Aberdeen er. He and his boat's company encountered his horror in the Moray Firth, ante thirty miles off the coast of Buckie. A strange commotion was observed in the sea, and, tittering a fearful ery, there rose out of the water such a fear - fel monster as matte our hair stand on encl." Mr. Grigor continuos ; "b or a time we were speeohless, every one of us. To our great horror the monster shaped toward our boat and placed two heavy fore feet, with big claws, onto the stern. We all flew forward, leaving the part of the boat in charge of this terrible .nonster, whose eyes, shone like green fire,' and whose mouth, with large, white, shining teeth and lolling tongne, struck terror into our very hearts. It was observed that George SimpsonandGerald Robertson both had fainted away. The enormous, weight of the animal had the stern o our large craft quite submerged, and we really thought that every moment was our last. Our skipper rushed aft, carrying with him a long boat hook with an iron shod on it. This he sent into the monster's mouth at least fifteen feet, and, to our great relief and surprise, the animal sank back, boat hook and all. The monster must have weighed many tons, as it would take atleast twenty tons to put our boat down be cele stern as it did, Is had long aeawoed-like hair, and was dark in color. Its head was not unlike the unicorn of fiction, with a large and f l is fore claws fearsome mouth. spread ottt over several yards of the ,after part of the b•+at, and the five deep scratch - ea of each still show where it rested. Such an animal could have swallowed ten boats' crows. Mr, T. M, Armit of Leith, a reputable and responsible citizen, promptly identified the grisly terror as the self -same monster that appeared to him in the South Pacific, off the coast of Ecuador, some sixteen years ago. Ile wrote to the scoffing papers and told them that whatever they and the public might think of the anecdote related by the filaus.shermen 3m was :cot in any way ineredu- "The creature they describe," he says, "resembles greatly the beast or fish that I and six ethers atood and looked at, in broad daylight, for fully ten minutes We were on board the disabled ship Colnnabo of Greenock, and were being towed from Pan- ama to Callao in July, 1876, The sea was very smooth, and when nearly abreast of tGuyaquil a solitary wave arose alongside stx or eight feet above the main rail amid- ships. While wondering what could have causedsuelt a phenomenon, we were greatly serpriled to see a creature rise alowly out of the water until at stood from twenty-five to thirty feet above the sea at a diatanee of three ship lengths astern. The neck ap- peared to be three or four feet indiameter, and gradually swelled toward the water to double that size. We gazed at it for fully ten minutes, when it slowly retired below. We saw nothing in the shape of fins or feet about it, nor could we discos whether it was provided with double rows of business - looking tenth, but since that day I have al- ways been convinced of the existence of un- known sea monsters," E ew Atlantic. Pa mentor Steamer. The question of transatlantic passenger truffle is assuming greater importance from year to year, with the rapidly -increasing travel front America to England. Although the great steamship .companies have tried to meet the demand by putting on larger and faster steamers, the rates are -not re- duced, and many are prevented from Lak- ing the trip by tete comparatively high cost of travel. A new design for an Atlantic passenger steamer would, if carried out, mashie many to cross the ocean who have been waiting for the establishment of cheap fares. The proposition is to conatruet a system of nine hulls of special model, eou- netted in three trains of three hulls each, the central train being the principal parts of the craft, and extending 225 fent for- ward and 200 feet abaft of the other two trains, the whole forming an outline similar to Haat of an ordinary ship. The total length would be 1440 feet, breadth over three trains 142 feet,to outside of floats, 180 fent. The displacement of the centre train would be 15,000 tons ; of the outer trains, each, 5250 tons; total displacement, about 26,010 tons. The propelling power would consist of seven engines—three in the centre train, 10,000 horse -power each; two in the forward sections of outer trains, 4000 each, and two in stern sections, 6009 each. This would give a total of .50,000 horse -power, driving seven pairs of paddle -wheels of 52 and 56 feet diameter, 6 and 8 feet wide, and having a dip of 8 feet. The steamer would carry no csrgo,andwould require noballast, so that the entire tonnage capacity would be`avaitable for engines and fuel. The ship would be intended' for only first and second- class passengers, and would have accommo- dation for 2000 of each. It is estimated that 5000 tons of steel would be used in the construction of the connectors end in the strengthening of the parts of the sections where the greatest strain would occur. The hulls would be entirely of steel. It is thought that a steamer of this design could be built sufficiently strong to withstand a much greater strain than she would ever en- counter in the waves of the Atlantic. One of the most important advantages that her special construction would give would be immunity from the horrors of seasickness. There would be scarcely any rolling motion, and the vertical motion would be confined chiefly to the forward ends of the forward sections and would diminish toward the stern, where it would be hardly perceptible in the roughest sea. The proposed steamer would not only carry 4000 passengers, but would give a greater amount of cubic space for -each passenger than the present steam- ers, and, team-ers,_and, as it would carry no freight, it would remain a shorter time in port. it is estimated that such a ship could carry first- class passengers at $5 a day, and second class passengers at a corresponding reduc- tion on the usual rates. The scheme looks very imposing on paper, but it is a question whether such a system will be carried out in the nineteenth century. In sixty-two years Mexico has had fifty- four iftyfour' Presidents, Regency r re idents one R enc and Y one Em- peror; and nearly every change has been effected by violence.
