About the most foreign looking things in New York are the sab- ots worn by a few thousand French and Germans and by some others engaged in peculiar occupations. There probably bas never been a time in the history ufNew York since the Dutch settlement when wooden shoes were not worn by a considerable percentage of the population. but it is hard to find a maker of sabots anywhere in the city who can speak a dozen words of English. Their shops are mostly in the French quarter of Woster and Huston streets and i❑ the German part of the east side tenement region. The shoes aro made in half a dozen different forms, some entirely of wood and scooped out to look fixe small canoes, others chiefly of wood, but with a rough leather upper ar.d others chiefly of leather, with a stout misshapen sole of wood. The leather is of•the coarsest kind except that which is put into the shoes of stage dancers. ice cream makers use high coarse leather shoes, with thick wooden soles. They cost about $2 a pair, and would last indefinitely but for the effect of the salt on the leather. French and German women most- ly wear the canoes entirely of wood. They stuff them with twisted straw at the heel and some times acoross the instep and thus keep the shoe on to protect the foot from rubbing. The cheapest of ths,ae boots bring about $1.25 a pair. IT WAS SAIREY. An old Vermonter was on a brief visit to Boston some .) ears ago, when he heard of a wonder- fulinstrunlent recently invented, called the telephone, through which a man could hold a conver- sation wi'.h a friend a hundred miles away. This taxed the old man's credulity too heavily; he must see that to believe it, and tell his neighbors when he returned home, what the world was coming to in Boston! So he visited the telephone office and witnessed the operation of sending and receiving a message. Still he would not be satisfied. He asked if he could send a message to his wife at home. it was found that in a town not far from his farm there was a telephone station, through which a message was sent request- ing that the lady be brought to that end of the wire. Our Vermonter patiently waited until a signal came that she was there. "Come sir speak to her your- self," said the operator "you will recognize her voice, although the answers may come disturbed, for there is a thunder storm going on somewhere along the lino" "Oh, hold on now," said thesus- picious old fellow "that won't change my wife's voice; for she's got a thunder of her own; you can't fool me." "Go on, Sir, they are waiting a call !" "Say," shouted the farmer inti) the instrument, "is that you, old gal ?" "Wbo are you?' came a female voice in reply. "I'm Josh 1 right here in Boston, and I han't coming home this week!" Ah this moment an electric shock was imported to the wire by the storm, and somehow its effect on Josh was a blow on the side of the bead that knocked him flat. "That's Sairey every time!" quietly acknowledged the farmer as he picked himself up. -The Arena. DICKEN'S MEW_ CHI#1STMAS. When Charles Dickens resolved to glorify Christmas, and planned that Rug sees of Christmas hooks which are uofl; the least pleasant and enduring monumets otitis genius, there was one leading idea in his mfud which found characteristic expression in his writ- ings. This idea was food. Rightly or wrongly, Dickens considered Cbristtnus from the old English standpoint -a season of solid and jovial feasting -and he bore this steadily hi view while seasoniug his fiction with ghosts. murders and inysteriea No one who reads the sympathetic description of Trotty Vectes dinner, or of the humble feasts in the immortal "Christmas Carol," can fail to see that the writer was nut forcing his enthusiasm for sound eating and drinking, and was not play- ing a make-believe part supposed to be suit- able to the "season." Dickens was neither a gourmet uor a gourmand, but, as a man tak- ing an immense amount of walking exercise daily, he possessed a healthy appetite, and was not ashamed of it. He was burn and lived in the clays of taverns and chop -houses, before the town was filled with restaurants of French and Italian origin. The Cock in Fleet -street (nole.piut of the Bank of Eng- land), the Albion against Drury Lane Theatre (now modernised after a fashion), and the Blue Posts in Cork -street (burnt down and rebuilt palatially) were the most prominent eating -houses of a period which knew neither Berkeley, Con- tinental, Bristol, Hatchett's (transformed), Cafe Royal, Cafe Monies), Frascati, or the Savoy. If you wanted an Anglo -foreign res- taurant, with the exception of Verney's (still existing) in Regent -street, you had to go to the neighborhood of Leicester -square, where you were treated to omelettes, ragouts, ala - mode beef, and other more or less artificial delicacies. The taste for good fo d plainly cooked was left to be cultivated by a few places that knew not carpets, and loved sand or sawdust in place of linoleum. Mr Smith, of Comber, fell back- ward recently, injuring his head severly. He lived two days in an unconscious condition and died without gaining his senses to utter a word. He had been in the employ of Mrs Mitchell as hostler for quite a number of years. He leaves no family. Shortly after the arrival of the steamer Polynesian at Halifax on her last trip a hotelkeeper kidnap- ' ped one of the boys sent out by Miss Bert and the boy'sdisappear- ance was not discovered until after the departure of the boys to I3rantford. Tho man is to he pro- secuted. Donald Morrison, the I1egantic outlaw, is becoming insane. He has been brighter mentally since he was moved from the laundry to the carpenter shop, but still goes about in an absent minded way. To a reporter who inter- viewed him Morrison said _-I satisfied with the way 1 am treat- ed ? Yes, I suppose so. We are not here for pleasure. A warden is not supposed to treat his pri- soners like gentlemen. We are here to be made miserable. It is their duty and I have respect for a man who does his duty fairly. Bat, oh, I feel so much like a slave,' and the sigh, the hopeless look which accompanied thi9 last sentiment expressed more than words Mild how keenly he feels his confinement. THE PARENNIAL COMPLAINT. I� "Now, Ethel said Mr. Yomiglov'a to his wife who leaned fondly over him, "run and put on your hat and fur's and go down town and get pre-cuts for all the family -in-law, and buy a nice 1.,t of things for the boys; but don't spend more than a hundred dollars. We must live within our income." "Why, George." replied the lady, in an ag- grieved tone, "you told ins we Lad two hun- dred dollars this month -you know you did." And Mr. Youngs. , e only sighed. A VERY SHORT STORY ABOUT SANTA CLAUS. When pretty Mina Vanderheyde came to live with her Aunt Esther in England, all did their best to make her happy in the old West - country town in which she bad found a tem- porary home. This was not to be wondered at, for she was as bright -tempered as she was bright-eyed, and as pleasant as she was pretty. She was dutiful to the old folk and kind to the young, and so frank and unaffected with all that even the other pretty girls were not too jealous of the attention shown her by so many young sparks at the assemblies and other local gatherings. But though Mina was far from unhappy in a strange land, and was, indeed, discovering one reason for growing more attached to England, and especially to one of its natives, day by day, there were certain things that she could not help missing. Christmas, for instance, was a time of rejoicing as at home ; but then, bow differently was it celebrated 1 It was all very well to eat beef and pudding, especially as the poor folk generally got their share ; and snap dragon and the other games were certainly fine fun. But the yule log was undoubtedly, a poor substitute for the Christmas tree, and where were the gifts that old Saint Nicholas ought to fill the stockings of all good little boys and girls with i Mina came to the con- clusion that she should supply such an over- sight on his part. So after enlisting old Sam, the porter and her saucy cousin Jack, and binding them over to secrecy, she start- ed with themon her quest.,She ransack- outr ransack- ed the town for toys and trikets, and also managed to secure a fine young fir -tree under which old Sam staggered home after. And on Christmas morning all the little ones of the household found the stockings that they had been told to hang up over eight full of toys and goodies, while in the evening they and some of their little neighbors were made acquainted for the first tirne with the glories of aChristmas tree, from which a figure muffled up as old Saint Nicholas made a fresh dis- tribution of gifts. For a long time no one guessed who it was hut Master Jack, who could not keep the secret, and Mina was soon hailed in the household by the nickname of Santa Claus. Nor did it leave her when she had changed her own name for good and all iu the old church by the river, for she took rare that year after year the C'hr'istmas tree should fiotisli beside hes' hearth, and that invisil,le fingers should till the stecltings of het children on (.'hristmns Eve. THE BELLS. assed in the Ooi.mty WHAT EDITING A PAPER IS. Editing a paper is pleasant bus- iness -it you like it. If the type is large, it does not contain much reading matter. If we omit jokes, folks say we are fossils. If we publish original matter, they blame us for not giving se- lections. If wegive selections, people say we are lazy for not writing more, and giving them what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a complimentary no- tice, we are censured for being partial. if we don't every one says we are unjust. If we remain in our office, at- tending to our business, folks say we are too proud to mingle with other fellows. It we go out, they say we do not attend to our business. HER FIRST AND LAST STORY A romantic little story was told a few days ago by a co-editor on one of the largest magazines in the country. Almost two years ago a short story of considerable merit had been submitted t., the magazine by a young woman quite unknown to us or to fame, and bad been ac- cepted and paid for. It was tiled away with other accepted articles to be used when its turn came. A short time ago there came a letter came from the young girl asking modestly that the story be printed soon, but giving, no reason for the request. Two months went on, and then came a second letter, written in the same hand, but in fainter, weaker characters, as if the hand that held the pen was scarcely able to guide it, ask- ing again that the story might be printed. "My physician tells me," it said "that I can live but a few months at farthest. I had hoped to live to do a great deal of good work of this kind, but you have my first and last piece. I have cared so much for it that I think I could be happier in dying if I might just see the story in print before I go." The magazine tor the corning month was bound, so nothing could be done with that. The sheets for the second month were printed and ready for binding, and 'the matter for the third mag- azine was well under way. We held a short consultation, the re- sult of which was that the young girl's story was set up, and the sheets containing it substituted for certain sheets in the magazine for the second month. It was no small matter to make this great change so late in the day, but we did it, and the letter of thanks which we received from the sick girl more than repaid us for the trouble we had taken. Not lung atferwards we heard of the girl's death. Hear the sledges with their bells --silver bells! What n world of merriment their melody 011'04-1 1H.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY THE BOY WHO SMOKES. "The effects of tobacco on school boys is so marked as not to be open for discussion." So wrote Professor MoShary, President of the Baltimore A f'ademy of Medi- cine. Dr Willard Parker asserts that "tobacco is ruinous in our schools and colleges, dwarfing body and mind. Dr Drysdale, the senior physi- cian iu the London Metropolitan Hospital, speaks 'of medical stu- cents "who have entirely destroy- ed their intellect by the use of tobacco." In Vermont a bright boy of fourteen fell strangely behind his class. His teachers eould not ac- count for this ; but the incapacity increased till be sickened and died, when it was found that he was killed by tobacco, to which he was in the habit of helping himself secretly from his father's store. Dr Decaisne,-of Paris. found by investigation that "even the re- stricted use of tobacco by children leads often to a change in the blood, paleness of the flee, emacia- tion palpitation and intermission of the heart, diminution of nor- mal quantity of blood, corpuscles, difficulty of digestion and slug- gishness of intellect." There is another point to which I want to call your attention, for some of you will by and by desire to get situations as book-keepers or to become art -students. Pro- fessor Oliver, of the Naval Acad- emy, says be can invaria bly re- cognize the user of tobacco "from his tremulous hand and absolute inability to draw a clean, straight line." I know of a merchant, who used to test the handwriting of every boy who applied to him for a situation, and invariably in this way detected and invariably rejected tobacco -users. -N. Y.
