union employers said they would not
do this. It was a question of control
of their business, and if it had to be
settled it was best 'to settle it right
now. The number now idle, directly
and indirectly, is about 113.000. If
all tho business of the city continues
a week longer a thousand, more will
bo out. It is a great loss to tho city,

Shall 1 tell you something of our
Christmas and New Year in the tropics?
No merry tinkling bells waked the
echoes in our streets; no small boys on
the corners shouted "Merry Christmas,'
and beat drums and tooted horns until
you were deaf or wished you were. I
really longed for some of the American
small boys' noisy racket, (you know 1
always did love boys and always shall,
I am going to write a book on boys'
rights when 1 have time; men and
women have been for years discussing
their rights, someone must look out for
the bovs' rights,' " but pardon this long
digress'ion). Everything was decorous
and quiet as English people and cities
usuallv are : the streets and maidan were
filled with happy faced natives in gay
picturesque costumes constantly going
and coming hither and thither. All the
shipping showed a tine display of flags
ana it all made a pretty picture beneath
the golden shafts of blight sunbeams
The thermometer was 81 deg. in the
shade. I am an early riser even in this
lazy enervating climate, but I was
scarcely dressed on Christmas morning
until the derwan (man at the door) came
bringing mysterious looking little pack
ages and envelones, which, on inspec
tion, proved to he little tokens of kind
remembrance. Christmas cards, some
unique and pretty, little souvenirs of
this or that menu, bame were accom
panied by the donor's card, others by a
tender thought or kindly wish prettily
expressed in a "chit" (note), so the day
I had so wofully looked forward to as
being tilled, with sad memories and un
utterable longing for the irrevocable
past, was a day of pleasant unexpected
surnrisea. for we had not learned the
customs here, and you do not know how
any such little tokens ot regard toucn
the heart so far from home and friends.
All the churches held divine service;
thoiurh I am told the Scotch people do
not celebrate the day as generally as
other Europeans or Americans do. The
M. E. Church had a Christmas tree, the
dear old stars and stripes shone res
plendent beside the Union jack and
cwonf vninc finfr thr Phrifstmnt; r:irn!s.
Yet for all the good cheer, the splendid LP'

friendlv greeting, kindly tokens of re
gard, it was not Christmas to me. Our
servants came bringing gifts of baskets
filled with all fruits the markets attorueu
wreathed about with bright golden
marigolds, and many natives had their
horses' bridles decorated with the same
flower.
The ensuing week was given up by
the majority to visiting, dinners, teas,
garden parties, theaters and the races.
The English are noted for their fond
ness for the turf and Calcutta is no ex
ception to the rule. A very pleasant
English lady who nas oeen very kiiiu
indeed to us and often comes to ask
some of us to drive with her, invited me
most cordially to drive out to the races
one day with her, tho day the Viceroy's
cup was to oe won. ine urive was ue

a scene never to be forgotten.
I did not attend Lady D jfferin's draw
lug room as my physician said it was
rattier hazardous for me to risk my
health by so doing, the style of dress
desired was not conducive to the health
of any one affected with heart or lung
trouble and beside having the private
entree I would go in with other ladies
who have the private entree, make my
courtesy and take my 'place among the
rest near Lady Dufferin and stand there
until all having the public entree came
in "paid respects" and passed out into
other rooms, then after Lord aud Lady
Dufferin also passed out I would be at
liberty to retire, You know I am not
strong enough now to endure such a
tax on my strength. My husband on
his return from Lord Dufferin's levee
pronounced himself very much pleased
out very tired having to stand near
Lord Dufferin until all having the pub
lic entree passed in and out, a vast num
ber of people.
My time is so fully occupied I can
not tell where the days, hours and mom
ents fly to. I really wish you were here
to help me entertain callers. They say
"you" independent little American, we
always make longer calls here than any
place." 1 like my English cousins very
much aud also the Scotch since 1 have
become better acquainted with them,
thev are all so kind and social, and I
like the Iialian Consul's daughter, she
is a charming young lady and reminds
me of you; of course I like her papa.
It is most amusing to hear us try to
converse, he can only speak a few words
of English and you know 1 am not a
good French or Italian scholar, but his
daughter interprets for him. 1 find the
Gorman consul and Ills stately wife
very pleasant and interesting people.
The Persian consul called on me also,
bringing his handsome grandson loth
speak English very fluently.
I must close this long letter but will
first tell you about my being selected to
distribute the prizes to the pupils of the
Calcutta girls school, also the Calcutta
boys school. My husband presided. It is
the custom here to have prizes
lubliclj distributed at the close ot the
ear: it reminds me of the distribution
at the Academy of the Sacred Heart,
only here were some tallboys who re
ceived gold and silver medals as well as
the girls.
DODGE'S CAT-ABIA5CA.
Ehe cat stood on the-freezing fence,
"Where he for fun had fled.
At midnight prompt did he commence
To paint the back vard red.

As bound to fool the storm
Of missiles which from windows streamed
Straight at his fur off form.

"Without Mariar's word;

His yowls no longer heard.
"Maria." Mr. Thomas cried,
'Marin, must von stay?"
And but tho booming boots roplied
That fast were thrown away.
Then came a gun-shot's thunder sound;
The cat oh, where was he?
Ask of his fragments strewed around
In that cat-astrophe.
With bootjacks, bricks, and many a swear
The sleepers did their part,
But the no blest thing that perished there

discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. It acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual
prescriptions given by Physicians, as it
does not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con
dition. A bottle kept m the house for
use when the diseases make their ap

HOW TO TELL AGES.
There is a good deal of amusement in
the following magical tablo of figures.
It will enable you to tell how old tho
young ladies are. Just hand this tablo
to a young lady and request her to tell
you in which column or columns her ago
is contained, and add together the figures
at tho top of the columns in which her
ago is found, and you have the great
secret. Thus, suppose her. ago to bo
seventeen, you will find that number in
the first ami fifth celumns: add tho first
figures of these two columns.
