Buffalo New : Twenty-eight letters ad - ;dressed to Santa Claus have been received at the post -office within the past few weeks. They have been sent to the dead -letter office marked " Fictitious." Some are addressed simply to "Santa Claus." Of courae Postmaster Gentsch knows his address. Amother prefixes " Mr." and gives his address as "Heaven," juat as though there were fast mail connec- tions with the land which lies beyond the pearly gates. Several think Buffalo such a Jake place that Santa Claus must live here. Bat the funniest of all is one addressed " hTorth Pole, Scotland." The writing of these letters is spreading, angular and irregular, but still legible. The majority used 2 cent stamps, some none, and one cut out the stamp of a stamped en- velope and pasted it on her own. The letters were not all sealed, One xeed s Dear Santa Claus—Please bring me a slay, a Imre of seates, a pare of shus and apare of stock- inet& YOUR FRANRIE. Another, in big, awkward letters, asked for a pair of skates, a whip, and a bag of candy. A 5 -year-old boy wished for a sled with round runners. Another unsealed letter read: reDear Santa Claus—Will you bring me a new re cloak and dress and a new doll, and bring my dear little dog, Biddy, a new ribbon and bel sandlots of candy, and bring me a doll without lbehag dress, and bring xne a grate big Christ. aims tree and put lots of pretty things on, and adon't forget my little playmate. Nellie Becker. ilecuse my mistaks. Goodby. Proirm_your loving friend, JENME. I send you a big kiss to you. Will seethe kiss down below. On the bottom of the letter was a big cirele made with pencil. One was accustomed to receive many presents, or had been neglected and wanted to be recompensed for past slights, for the letter called for a sleigh, a tool chest, a safety, lots of playthings, story books and stockings full of candy. Only a few gave their address. Indeed, one signed no name at all, expecting to be recognized by the handwriting. Postmaster Glentsch says that suchaetters are quite frequent just before the holidays. All of these letters are turned over to Mr. Hugh J. Miller, superintendent of the in- quiry division. Mr. Miller is the "General Wanamaker "at the post office. Everyone has seen him in his corner to the left of the door of the money order department. He looks after the lost and dead letters and packages, and is one of the busiest men in the office these holidays. How To Brink Some complain'says the Medical .Record, that they cannotdrink milk without being distressed by it." The most common aeason why milk is not well borne is due to the fact that people drink it too quickly. If a glass of it is wallowed hastily it enters the stomach and then forms in one solid, mailed mass dacult of digestion. If, on the other hand the same quantity is sipped, and three minutes at leastare occupied in drinking it, then on reaching the stomach it is so divided that when coa- gulated, as it must be by the gastric juice while digestion is going on, instead of being in one hard, condensed raass upon the out - aide of which only the diaestive fluids can -act, it is more in the form Of a sponge; and in and out of the entire bulk the gastric juice CRE play freely and. perform its func- caresser's* newts- Donab get grandpa a bicycle.
