The quality of the ser- vice being good, the number uf consumers rapidly increased, and an all night service was deemed exs pedient. To such an extent has the use of the electric light increas !ed that when the electrician gets all the lights installed that he has orders for the number will be about 3000.

The Venezalean situation still remains involved and perplexing. The impression in well-informed quarters here is that in the end some arrangement will be come to which will lead to the transfer of the cus- toms duties to an international com- mision, as in the case of Egypt, with a view to a division of the revenue between Venezuela and the foreign creditors. Most people here would to see the whole question re- ferred to President Roosevelt or to The Hague tribunal for adjust- ment.

(Sign ed) Marcon THE YULETIDE LOG, An Ancient Custem Still Observed In the North of England. A custom at one time prevalent in England and still observed in some of the northern districts of the old coun- try is that of placing an immense log of wood--sometimes the root of a great tree--in the wide chimney place. This {8 often called the Yule log, and it was on Christmas eve that it was put on the wide hearth. Around it would gathier the entire family, and Its en- trance was the occasion of a great deal of ceremony. There were music and rejoicing, while the one authorized to light it was obliged to have clean hands. It was always lighted with a brand left over from the log of the previous year, which had been carefully pre- served for the purpose. A poet sings of it in this way: With the last year's brand Light the new block, and For good success in his spending On your psaltries play That sweet luck may Come while the log is a-tending. The Yule log was supposed to be a Old protection against evil spirits, and it heart beat normally. was considered a bad omen If the fire went out before the evening was over.

There are pumerous reliable state- ments of grizzly bears having attacked men, but nowadays the grizzly does not seek out his human victims, as there are credible statements that his fore- fathers used to do. Neither does he le in wait and, pouncing upon a hunt- er, tear him into bloody shreds in de- lighted fiendishness, as the old time stories used to tell. The change in the grizzly's disposition is lkened by vet- eran hunters to the in the char- acter of the white cousin of the grizzly, the polar bear of the arctica, When the stations for the Hudson Bay ¢om- pany were established, the diaries of the men there often referred to the fright of attacks by polar bears.
