Where is the heroic man who uses snuff to-day? asks a writer in the New York Times. Where Is the heroine who sheds tears, as did her sisters of old, "in tor rents?” There seems to be an atrophy of the lachrymal gland. In the brave days whm snuff was In polite and general use. Action was universally tearful. The very prologue of Lamar tine's ‘‘Raphael” is unpleasantly moist; the pages of Fielding and Smol lett are damp: one might swim through the ‘ floods of tears,” which are shed in the ‘‘Sorrows of Werther; and it has been computed by a trust worthy engineer that the weeping pow er of the characters in ‘ Manon,” Paul and Virginia,” “Natalie,” Picciola, and "Attlla,” alone, would be amply sufficient to Irrigate many square miles of Arizona desert. There are tears, but no Idle ones, on the modem novel. How admirable the restraint of lover and mistress. Can there be some subtle relation between the decadence of the snuff habit on the part of the male parent and the growth of his daughter's self-control* One is aghast at the volume of tears shed in the earlier ''masterpieces” of romantic literature. They gush, as we have said, from the very prologue of “Raphael.” “We first wept and then talked together.” No time is lost, it will be noted. At the mere sight or thought of each other they begin to bawl. Again: “Such was our fare well' an ocean of tears, an eternity of tears.” Whether at meeting or parting, In joy or grief, It makes them actually “swimming In tears. In Goethe's most lachrymose story the crying Is almost Incessant. We have constantly recurring passages like these: "Thousands of kisses, a flood nf tears” • * * "A torrent of tears stopped their recital.” * • * "He threw down the book, seized her hand, and wept bitterly.” Later on we find these saturated lovers engaged In the extraordinary aquatic feat of actually "swimming In tears.” A FOOLISH IDEA.

Knowledge of Location of Depart ment! Not Alwaya Neceaaajry—Some Women Walk Mllea When They Could Diacharge Dntle* of Pur chaalng With Hall the Walking. “There are perhaps two classes of women, and at most, three, who are not laid up as nervous wrecks after their Christmas shopping,” said a guide in one of the big stores yester day. "There are the regulars, who do an enormous amount of buying in the most systematic manner, during the last week before Christmas, the busi ness woman who is obliged to do all in a few hours, and the woman with a baby at home, who, for the same reason, is at all times a good shop per. “These women escape the general nervous prostration* because they do ‘desk work.’ They make their heads save their heels. They have a com plete list arranged, with the Intention of saving time and steps, and with the money to be spent on each item cal culated on the outside margin and jotted down. “It is astonishing, however, how greatly these are in the minority. The greater number come with either no list at all or a list made up haphazard, and just as the things came Into the head of the writer. Then there Is the kind commonest of all. who makes no list whatever, and there is still an other lot who have but one idea at a time. Wnatea Time and Effort. “The woman of this kind will start one day to getisk present for Bella, for Instance, and will go over the. whole territory and look at everything in one shop, perhaps in two or three, be fore she makes up her mind what she wants. The next day she repeats the process for John, and so on, leaving the hardest for the last day, when she is worn to a frazzle, and is in despair at finding everything gone which she had seen on her former rounds. “While going she could easily have bought a dozen of her other presents, but without a list she forgets all about them, or has to wait to see how much she pays for what she gets to-day be fore she knows how much she can put into them. This kind of woman de pends on what she happens to see, and what strikes her fancy for her se lections, and seldom has in mind any particular thing that she wants to give any one person. How They Chase Around. “The woman with the ‘hit or miss’ list also takes a lot of needless steps. She has down: Mary, handkerchief; Louise, gloves; Beatrice, handbag; Frederick, handkerchiefs and so forth. Well, she goes to the handkerchief first and puts her whole into getting a fine and beautiful lace handkerchief. “When she gets through with this she sees gloves on her list, and goes off to the glove counter, and after that, a mile away to tha leather department.

Ladies' Shopping Sags Swell Umbrellas. Everything New, When she gets through here she comes back to the handkerchief department to get men’s handkerchiefs. Just as she finishes this, she thinks of some little folks that she wanted to get handkerchiefs for. too. but It is lunch time, and she is hungry and she de cides to leave that for another day. Should Follow System. “I have seen women walk miles use lessly, going back and forth the length of an entire store on account of the way they had arranged their shopping list. Yesterday there was one who came to buy presents for a class of boys. Although there were many things on her list that could be bought In the same department, she hud them all separated and trotted back and forth for hours before she got through. "No. it is no exaggeration—the av erage woman, instead of putting down a half dozen pahs of gloves for as many people, will make a half dozen trips to the glove counter and perhaps come down six different days to do it. How It All Helps Out. "Of course it goes without saying that the woman who can sav(> the most steps by carefully planning her shop ping list is the one who knows pretty well the location of things. She ar ranges her headings on her list so that when she Is through In one department she has for item number two that which, of all she wants, lies nearest to the section she is already In. “When stores cover acres, almost, this Is a great help, especially since every trip to different departments almost means a straggle for life. But If a woman is not out shopping often enough to be posted on locations, she can at least easily ask for each de partment. "But whatever mechanical and sys tematic aids she can call upon, the woman who is going to get along best with her Christinas shopping Is the one who can get so enthused with the Christmas spirit that she will not mind being elbowed, and poked about, and walked uoon until she is black and blue.” GIFTS TO POOR BY SUNDAY-SCHOOL CHILDREN Was Feature of Exerelaea ut Grace Motliodlst rhurch. The Christmas celebration of the Sunduy-srhool of Grace Methodist Church was held last night In the school roam under the church, at Jefferson and Park avenue. The object of the celebration was to enable the children of the school to make gifts to the poor. An excellent programme had been arranged, and the room was elaborately decorated. The platform where the officers of the church and school were stationed, was decorated with a small forest of dainti ly draped Chrlstmus trees, from which hung a myriad of varied colored glass ornaments. Just before the exercises ppened, Santa Claus came upon the stage and greeted the officers. The infant class then formed Into line and marched around the room, singing, “Yes, Jesus Loves Me,” and at the conclusion of the song gathered at the foot of the platform and presented their glftß to Santa Claus, who received them with many thanks in behalf of the poor. He then made an address to the chil dren. The older classes made their offerings at intervals during the exer cises. CHRISTMAS TEMPTED NEGRO TO STEAL APPLES.
