THE EHl|SlMlS Mill
How it is Brought to Lonely Plaeea.
The Christmas postmanl What an
important part of the Christmas Day festivities his coming ls! How young and old look out for him with pleasur- able delight and anticipation! How they flock to the door with eager ques- tions of "Any for me'."‘ or "ls there one from So-andso?" almost before the beaming messenger, staggering be neath his weighted bag, has time to disgorge his treasures-
And what a dire blow it would be
for a moderate household of the post- man never came at all on Christmas Day! Just try to imagine it; if you can! Not a letter, not a calendar, not a Christmas present, not a Christmas card. lt wouldn’t seem like Christmas at all!
So says the pampered generation of
today. But it was notlong since that only the dwellers in cities or towns or- good-sized villages could feel toler- ably certain of getting their Christmas mail on the very day itself; and an accident to the coach might very con- ceivably result in a disappointment to expectant householders. even in those bu.sy centres of population. Such ~ be ing the case, how must have fared the little hamllets far from the beaten track, hidden away along deep lanes where a heavy fall of snow might choke for many a day or many a weary week. '
Other days, other ways; the major-
ity of people nowadays stand a fair chance of getting their Christmas let- ters somewhere about the festive sea- son; and when you feel inclined to grumble because everyone of your half-penny post Christmas cards didn’t come up to time, then. I say, be thank- ful that you don't live yesterday; or today, for that matter, in certain spots whose advantages and disadvantages we do not know of.
Progress in the facilities of com-
munication, notwithstanding, there are still. within the compass of these Brit- ish Lsles of ours. a number of places where the postman at the best of times is a rare and irregular visitor, and his visits are more 'rare and less regular still when the gales of whiter are blowing.
The men who keep their mighty
watch over our coastwiso lights- they for example. unless their monthly “re- lief" falls due .somewhere about Christ- mas tide, cannot hope to receive sens- onable greetings except such as comc well in advance or well behind the oc- casion to which they refer. For the only communication between the land and a solitary rock like the renowned Eddystone is maintained by a tug ba- longing to the Brethren of Trinity House. This boat pays a monthly visit to the lighthouse for the purpose of taking off one of the keepers, and leaving lu his place one whose period of absence is over. The returning man brings with him lcttor and papers from shore, together with necessary provisions and-lf it be Christmas- a store of soasonablo luxuries.
At ordinary timcs, when tho weath-
er ia not exceptionally rough, the approach to the lighthouse is not the easiest business in the worl'd. Men. bags. and boxes can seldom be landed `on the platform- "get off,” as lt is technically termed- at the base of the lighthouse tower. Generally, in any but the very smoothest state of the sea, a. rope-sling has to be utilis- ed, something after the style of the usual life-saving apparatus.
And when the weather ls really
rough- when the breakers roaring round the terrible Eddystone which has sent so many stout vessels and brave sailors to their doom, dash their spray up as high as the lofty lanterns itself-when the solid structure of the lighthouse tower seems to quiver be- neath the booming shocks of the an- gry sea -then the tug cannot get near the rock at all. and the keepers must make up their minds to walt foi- their monthly message from the shore flgnaliasd by disasters to shipping and coasts strewn with wreckage- it frequently befalls that the lighthouse keeper’s Christmas - is a very lonely one indeed. _
Somewhat similar conditions prevail
on board the lightships. those unple- turesque but useful craft which mark
the position of dangerous shoals and sand anks in the track of shipping. In summer, their visitors are compara- tively frequent ,and small excursion boats or friendly pilots often get near enough to throw s bundle of papers aboard or to deliver a letter from friends ashore. ln the winter time. however, the lightahlp is as isolated aa the llkhthousef with the added spice of danger, for it has happened more than once that alight vessel has foundered at her moorings during s heavy gale, or has been' run down by a moving vessel during a fog. By the crew of the llghtship, therefore. Christmas has to be kept up with the store of ssasonable feeling possessed by its inmates , rather than through such outward aids to good cheer as are provided hy the Christmas letter-bag.
As wpll as these sollary Yulctide ceisbrators at the peat duty, our shores boast a number of lonely la-

great extent self contained. and per aonel: communication with the main land is not frequent. But those peo- ple-not natives of the place-parson, doctor, schoolmaster, or what not - may expect in vain, i_f the weather be wild the_welcome coming of the Chris- tmas letter-bag. The Islend of Et. Kilda has been known to be unvlsited between the beginning of winter and the end of March; a record which puts into the background the story of a man who, crossing a Yorkshire moor in February met with such lavish hos- pitality that he felt it needed some ex- planation. "Well, ye see," said the good wife of the farm, "yo're our First Foot!"
To quote Kipllng's well-known words,
_"All unseen.
Romance brought up the nine-fifteen!"
and probably most people never pause to consider the romantic suggestions which lurk hidden behind the bleak official phraselogy of the notices ad- orning the notice-boards of one post office building.
Long months before the majority of
people had ever given a passing thou- ght to next Christmas, indeed. when last Christmas is not the remotest of memories, there arc a fcw people who are already choosing their Yuletidc gifts, writing- not without tears, be cortalnl- their Christmas letters to loved oncs far away. it seems a far cry enough oven to civilized Canadian or Australian scttlcnicnte, where tlic mail is delivered rcgularly by postmen not so unlike our own. But think of those Christmas letter-bags which have been months on their journey- so long that the -hand which penned tho greeting, thc eye which should have read it, may be still, and closed before the missivo reaches its |les'..ina- tion. Far away in- the extreme Nirlh- West Tei'rii'-"ies, flat waste and lvizc diatrlc ni Canada v‘l.lcli lics on tie edge of the A ctlc ("ir<:le, one cali .ln- ugin twill wha caigcrness the lonely piti--e»p:»sii=_ tl e lnilil-ary 1-luds >r llriv forts await the coming of the jiugling dog-tcam whose approach will break the dread monotony of a more than half-year winter. The sleigh, with its team of fierce “huskies" or malamutes, as the sleigh-dogs of the West are call- cd, carries of course, much besides mere letters. Upon its .safe arrival the posts may be depending for the very necessarics of life. and so important is its mission, that there are on record several cases when the “mushers"- generally members of the Mounted Police-have lost their lives in attemp- ting to reach their goal.
Few, “postmen" could he more pic-
turesque than those Santa Claus-like messengers to thc frozen North; yct, if thc scheme matures which is now under consideration of utilising the services oi’ Lapland reindeer, the "huskics" will have to take second place. That would be a Christmas mail, indeed, spreading horns, Jingling bells, muffled driver. frost congealing the breath of man and beast. But per- haps it is nicer on a Cliriatmas card or in Hans Anderson's fairy story than it would be in real life.
Very different is the story of the
Christmas letter which- so the Post Office gently reminds the forgetful in early autumn-“must be posted before such-an-such a date for deilvcry about Christmas” in some remote swamp of Burms, West Africa. or British Guiana. That letter will have forded crocodile haunted lagoous, crossed i'ever-breed- ing swamps. and pushed through trackless tropical forests, tucked away in the turban or lion-cloth of the na- tive runner who maintains final com- munication bctwccn Britain and her farthest tropical outposts. God Spccd ‘that intrepid mcsscngcr through thc perils of his journey; that thc loncly man at his post of duty may bc cheered through mnliy a day of thank- less and little rewarded toil by thc thought of -his Christmas mail from home.
HOW T0 DRENCH A HORSE.
The right way to drench a horse is
as follows, says The New Zealand Far- mer. Back him into a stall; then he cannot back away. Put a running nose in a soft half-inch rope, and place the nose around tho upper incisor (pinch er) teeth, just inside of the upper lips. Have the knot of tho rope como direc- tly in tho middle of the front of the upper -jaw. Throw the free ond of the rope over a beam well above tho horses head. lllso thu head and hold it tlioro with the nosc and rope. Got thc head high enough to provcnt mcdiclnc from running out of the mouth. but do not put it up so high that thc horse will be unable to swallow comfortably Stand on a. chair or box, so that thc
