There Is an endless variety in design uid pattern and color of sleigh and robe and ball uid plume, and the streets look like Gnristmas so long aa the snow lasts. Even the street cars feel the infeo tion (because a wise ordfaianoe compels them to) and mount tuemselves on bobs, and with plabeian independance jingles the loudest bells and take the best half of the street, right out of the middle as ususl. and turn out tar nobody and run into everything and in every way conduct themselves like the well-ordered, broad-shouldered, "iMg hey the jolly street oars that they are. WHO ABK THESB IK BIAUKET SUITS It is pleasant to tarry among people whose gbls wear satin alippers when they d .noe and arctics when they wade through the snow. Oar fair Canadian cousins have no dread of comfort. The snow has no terrors for them h y Jreis for the storm as sendily as for the reception. They drens prettily. And if there is a prettier figure on the North American Continent than a daughter of Can- ada, apparelled for the ioe or the toboggan Slide, herself a part of the snow drifted landscape, a picture of health and comfort that fairly softens the piercing winds into a sense of warmtj, I have not setn it. She dresses in perfect harmony with the winter and landscape, she hats a complexion clear as the ice of Ontario, and her warm blood shines through it rioh as the flashes of the aurora, graceful imd free in every movein^t â€" when you look at her you forget there is such a thing as a roller rink or an American banker in Canada. E "crybody dresses for the winter here when the winter comes, amd yet it is a cUm- ate no more severe thui ttat of New York State. I was the only man in Ontario with a stiff felt hat and a cloth overoeat, and I felt all the time I was in the province m though I was a lost Arctic explorer, and had eaten my fur overcoat, cap, mittens and boots, amd waa wadtlne for a rescuing party to find me.

FAOILIS DEacxKsxrs. The toboggan is a sled with a single run- ner, which spreada dear across the bottom of the ded. The top of the toboggan is just like the bottom. It is somewhat thick- er than a sheet of writing paper amd about as long as an^ ahtter-dinner speech. Its seat- ing capadty ia limited only by the number of people who cam get on it. The nrbane and gentlemaanly conductor sits akft amd uses one of his lithe and willowy legs for a steer- ing apparatus by which he guides the tobog- gan some way or other. It is easy ti slide dawn hill on a toboggan. In fsMt, after yon start down yon oa?t do anything else. Tf ue, you could fall off. That is easily done. The flying machine is not high, so yon havn't evry far to fall. Still, if you have to fall from a toboggan half way down the slide, or else fall down stairs with a kitchen stove, yon take the stove and the stairs everytlme. It isn't so exdting and its so soon. The prince and I walked up the stairway for the purpose of sliding down the banister on a toboggan. The president of the club took his place aft somebody sdd • 'let her go. " Then we stopped, iland the pros ident said " How did we Uke it " I left my breath at the top of the slide and we had to go up and get it. There it was, a great gasp 3^ inches long, sticking in the air like an icicle, just where I had gasped it when we started. I took it down, stuck it into my left lung and begam to breathe sgain wltb great freedom. The toboggan is to uy other way of getting down hill what fifing is to going to sleep. If I was ua hurry and it was down hill aU the way I would rather have a toboggan than a pair of wings any day. P Sâ€" There is usually an angel on the toboggan with you, which naaa tendency to oonm the impresdon that yon are going down with wings.

When you see your neighbor in his back yard tngaged in splitting wood you may at any momant kond a cold chill down his ipine by sharply shouting at him, " Look out for that clothes Une ' Troubles never come singly, sure enough. Immediately following the death of Wm. fi. VanderbUt alleged portraits of his sons appeared in scores of dally newspapers. Some persons seem to take a fiendish de- light in multiplying grief. A San Francisco family recently engaged a young girl from the Etft who advertised that sh«) had been " four yoara in her laut place " The family subsequently learned that she would have remained longer tham four years in her last place if the Oovernor had net pardoned her when he did. It's mighty seldom dat yer ken toll er pnsson 'zacUy hew yer wanta er thing done, an' nine times outen ten it is better for er pnsson to do it hisself, fur eben of it ain' done so well, he ia better pleatsed wid de job.

The other day the old man went down to Florida to see about a 3.000 acie tract of land he had purohast.d at $3. an acre for am orange grove. He went to the headqaarters of ' Tne Florida Orange Grove Eatato Agency," and he found that his son was President, Secretary, Treaanrer and sole owner. Half am hour later he discover- ed that his 3.000 acres rdfod alligators in- stead of oranges, and that the boy had clear- ed about $8,000 in the single transaotlon. A Toronto drummer sncoeeded last Fall in taking three or four Ontario custoners away fr^m aMontred house, but when he went his rounds a few days sgo he was odd- ly reodved and no one would give him an order. "I fed," he findly said, " that I have a right to demand an explanation.

THX WOXAK. Of oonrsa this maaculine prooeaa of put- ting things out of the way exdtes the de- rision of womam. She cidms it is ttie worst form amd last expresdon of^ disorder. To put things away, aa the art is practised by women, is equlvdent to conceding them more or less ccmpletely. The dedre to put thfaigs away amounta In most women to a paasion. C arioudy enough h Is dways the tniogs of other people â€" ^her husbmd or her childrenâ€" that ahe pnta away. Her own she wisely keeps where they are handy; and she rsaenta the suggestim, no matter where tiiey may be, they cam ever be regarded aa 6b- jeota out of place. All other things, on the other himd, are, in her opidon, always ont of place provided they are visible. Her chief object in life is to put them away where no one can see them, and her great- est happiness is attained when she has put tnem away so securely that she herself can- not rememlier where they are. Books and papers of a kind which a man is apt to need at any moment are dways put away by women of eager enthusiasm. Winter cloth- ing is put away in spring with such success that the owner Is convinced that it haa been stolen. In short there Is nothing that woman will not gUdly and effectually put away If it belongs excludvely to a mam.

There la an incident on record where a strong, vigorous conrignment of extraust de cow, en route to market, without a keeper, malldondy stopped on a railroad creasing and threw a train off the trausk.

In Milan the removd d the snow Is let ont by contract at so much per fach. Aa aoon as the snow ceases falling the city en- gfaeer, fa the presence of oertadn offidafa and ttie chief contractora, meaksures the depth of snow on stone slabii whioh ana oom- pletoly sheltered from the trinds. Tliia measurement furnishes the basis for comput- ing the prioe which the city is to pay for oaKih ward amd dis|rict.

The remaurkable ciroumstanca Is the amadl anm of money whioh it costa Milan to get entirely rid of ita snow. In the wmtor of 1874-5 the total fall of snow amounted to la little over three feet dx faches. The ex- pense of ita removd was about $42 000. The wfater before last the fall was only five amd a quarter faches, which waM removed for $5^200 The city, we should add, f or- dthes all the Implementa employe t except vehicles and horses. Generally speaking, it costa to remove the snow from the streeto of Milan about $1,000 an facb. One thing is certain The snow should be removed from our cities within forty- eight hours dter it has fallen It is the worst possible economy to let it remain to thaw a id freeze and freeze amd thaw from November to April. Advice to Totmg Womea.
