In the vaudeville houses where con tinuous performances she given Christ mas day strikes terror to the most fthue hardened dramatic soul. The doors open anywhere between and 10:30 a. in. and close at about midnight. The headliners play their customary two turns, hut those lower in the dramatic scale play "oh de mand,'’ generally about four times. If an act is particularly weak, it is used to ‘‘chase” out the audience in plain English, (o tire it into leaving The house and making room for the line waiting in the lobby. The low salaried vaudeville actor, therefore, eschews any Christmas (din ner and hies himself to the nearest quick lunch counter, there to feast oft turkey sandwiches, execrable edffee and pie as heavy as his spirits. By the time he lias done ids last turn on the stage lie is more ready for bed than for the festive board. To the unsuccessful actor Christmas is likely ro bring that blessing, of the Rialto, a “turkey date.” Scattered within easy access of New York are numerous small cities, or, more properly speaking, towns, wjhore good shows never come. Of those the (catchpenny manager keeps a list, and ■on quick notice' lie scours Broadway for cheap, unengaged talent, from which he organizes Ills company, re hearses It hastily in some play Rouse conveniently idle at the time, rjishos some cheap printing upon the poor, un suspecting towu and lands there bright and early Christmas morning.

CHRISTMAS “BARRING OUT?” A Stransr Cuxtom of Scltoolbo ys anti Teachrrt. “Barring out” was one of the Christ mas customs greatly in vogue in Eng land three centuries ago. it is a cus tom that obtains not only iu England, but to some extent in our own country, to this day, although it is not particu larly a Christmas custom in our coun try. “Burring out” was the keeping of the teacher or master out of tile school house until lie yielded to such terms as the boys of his school chose to dic tate. If the boys were able to keep the teacher out of the schoolhouse for three days and nights he was bound by ail the laws ot the custom to come to terms with the boys and to grant them all that they demanded in the way of half holidays aud abbreviated lesson hours and extended recesses. If. on the other hand, the teacher out witted the boys and regained posses sion of ibo schoolroom, the chagrined pupils were bound to submit to shell terms as he chose to dictate. As these terms usually included the severe trouncing of all the boys having any thing to do with ttie barring out of the' teacher, the boys were on the alert to keep him from dt tea ting them. More than one Christinas time of rejoicing has been turned into a time of weeping and wailing on tbe part of boys whom some barred out teacher has defeated. —Leslie's Weekly. A Laundr>- List For Christmas. For a laundry list obtain a delicate book slate with two or three leaves and bound in cloth. From embroidery lin en. cut a piece sufficiently large to face the front aud back aud with a margin a quarter of an inch wide ail around. On one-half of the piece mark the words “Laundry List" within a frame at the middle, and to decorate the re mainder of the piece draw a conven tional flower design. \Wheu the work is finished, apply the linen to the slate and cover with glue by turning the edges over and making them fast to the inside on a narrow edge of the cloth binding that is usual ly left between the edge of the slate part and the bindiug. At the top hinge corner attach a ring with bow aud ribbons, by means of which it can be hung in a convenient place, and at the kuot tie a piece of string half a yard long, to the end of which a pencil may be attached.

A LESSON FOR CHRISTMAS., How a Generous Giver of Presents May Retaliate For Neglect. “Here’s something cheap. Let’s buy it,” said tiie tall, angular woman. “What for?” asked the jolly little one. “Oh, for a Christmas present,” an swered the other. “Who for?” queried No. 2. “Oh, I don’t know. It will come in handy for some one.” “Here” (to the clerk), “wrap me up two of these and hurry my' change, please. How much? Seventeen cents? Oh. all rigid.” “My goodness!" ejaculated her jolly companion. “You don’t mcpti to say you buy all your Christmas presents that way?” “Pretty nearly—at least that’s what I intend doing this year. I’ve taken lots of pains to buy things before, but from now on I’m going to go about tilings differently.” “Why, what has changed you?" “Well, it's tliis way; I’m an old maid, you know, but I like pretty things aw fully well. I am accounted well off, and so I am, bat almost every' year I have sought out the nicest, prettiest things I could find and sent them off to those I count my friends. Aud wliat did I get in return? Nothing, positively nothing. Now, the value of a thing doesn’t count cue bit with me, but I do like people to be thoughtful, aud when I get two or three marked down calendars and a general collec tion of stuff picked up to send at the last moment which is not of the least use to anybody I rebel. So this year I am going to try to teach them a les son.” Editorial Consolation. The senator had dropped in for a friendly chat with his friend the edi tor of his home paper and had hardly seated himself when there appeared a well known character of the town, a type of individual common to every lo cality, the man who knows “how the paper ought to be run.” Without noticing the presence of the senator the man launched into a com plaint that the paper had not printed certain articles lie had written for it “Why,” said he, “I gave ’em to you months ago. What have you done with ’em ?” The editor smiled sadly. “I'm hold ing them.” he replied. “And they serve a very good purpose too. Now and then I get to thinking that perhaps we are not offering the public as good a paper as we ought to. At such times l look up your articles nnd see how much worse the sheet might be. So 1 become real cheerful - trgain. Please don’t take them from me!” Joys* of Christinas Tims' . While the Christmas season thrill of joy to all the aged who have lived correct lives, yet it is sometimes saddened by reminiscences of sins of omission and commission. The knowl edge that during this blessed time evil spirits are shorn of power to do evil does not always soothe the pangs of conscience. But to the young, to whom life in prospect is all hope ami sun shine, the season Is one of unalloyed, bliss. In addition to health and good digestion, they have two patron saints, ‘Tattle Jack Horner, who sat in the corner,” and Santa Claus, who, though a Dutchman, is endeared to the in fantry of all nations by the bound less profusion he showers on ail na tionalities. There are trees sufficiently stacked up around the market house to carry all the old gentleman’s benefac tions this year, and they are selling readily, a testimonial to the improved prospects of the expectant recipients of his bounty. Numerous, indeed, are the hearts to which Christmas brings a brief sea son of happiness and enjoyment. Hovr many families whose members have been scattered far and wide in the rest less struggle for life are then reunited md meet again in that happy state of companionship and mutual good will! How many old recollections and how many dormant sympathies does Christ mas time awaken! There are thousands of Pickwicks to day as well as a century ago who enjoy that sacred time as well as lie.—ffitta burg Tress. Smotinß the Christina* Fool. In some parts of England the custom 's said still to continue, two days after old Christmas day, of “smoking the fool”—that is, a pile of straw being col lected and set alight, the “fool” is hung over it by a rope around his waist and •swung backward and forward till he in nearly dead. Then lie goes around with his cap and collects “what the spectators think proper to give,” as the chroniclers express it. In these enter prising days, when almost any game is worked that can induce any one to give anything, it seems strange that no one has imported this custom, for it must be a sucaessful one. Sympathy. Tom (sadly)—That’s the second tima she has said no. Jack—Yes? I’m sorry two negatives don’t always make an affirmative. — Brooklyn Life. Art Xote.
