into the vast region of the past.

Christmas ! what visions of by-gone days it brings back to the old folke—visions of the old family gatherings asd of the faces once such great factors in their lives: visions of eteaming ond sputtering hogs-beads and plum puddings; visions of the old holly aod mistletoe days. And the children, how they look forward to it with anxious expectancy and with child-like faith in

the coming of Santa Claus.

The influence of Christmas extends over all sorts and conditions of men; bigh and low,rich and poor a)! have their old customs to keep up. Santa Ulaus is the benefactor of the children of Queens and Kings as much as of the chil/ren of the meanest cottagers. Our Queen, who bas by God’s mercy been spared to us for another Christmas, is, doubtless. at this woment making prepara- tions for the hapyinees of her children, and grandchildrer, and great grandchildren %, con.mon with the hurablest mother ia

Tennyson's Fondness For the Sea. In bis preoccupation with ideas of poctic workmanship Tennyson walked about the world forever to seize with deli-

cate exactitude impressions of physical | beauty In all his journevings he was watching for effects, for conditions. for

phenomena, which he could use as the il lustration or the ornamentof moral ideas And the first place must be given to his incomparable study of the sca It is evi- dent that the movement of water was the physical fact which in the whole of nature gave Tennyson the qnost acute pleasure Al! of us know the exquisite and we may bave thought the sc®iewhat bold image with which * Audley Court Here is the source of it. in a note made at Tor quay in 1842, **] saw a star of phosphor- escence made by the buoy appearing and disuppearing in dark sea ‘Theseaon the coast of the English channel displeased him. It is **not grand,” he wrote, ‘only an angry, curt sea

"The finest seas l have ever scen are at Valentia, on the west coast of Lreland Mablethorpe, in Lincolnshire and in Corn- wall.

An Antique Treasure House.

Perhaps the wildest of all the many wild suggestions in Mr. Rider Haggard’s **King Solomon's Mines’ was the exist- ence in Kukuanaland of a mighty treasure in a cave, the entrance to which was pro- tected by a falling door of stone Jt at once struck the reader that the treasure was improbable because the foreign race who dug out the diamonds wonld, as fast as they appeared, send them on to their employers. <A correspondent of the Bir- mingham Post, however, declares that Messrs. Neale and Johnson, who are ex- ploring Zimbabye in Khodesia, have satis- fled themselves that a native story of the existence of a great building with massive stone doors, never yet opened, is true They have not been able to visit it because they could not store water enough for the journey, but they believe it could easily be yisited, as the natives are of the sub- missive kind It is hardly probable thai 2 building erected by adventurous miners would be so protected unless it were a storehouse of some kind, whether of weap- ons or of treasure, and we might find in it clear evidence as to who the builders of the Zimbabye works were. It is as yet only a guess, though a guess with much probability, that they were Phoenicians. — London Spectator.

SO ERTS eee = Dairy and Creamery.

A cheap device for maintaining cream at an even temperature is a wooden box stuffed with hay or straw. Put the cream can into the box and pack the hay tight around it.

First class dairy butter often sells for from 2 to 4 cents more a pound than the best creamery butter, where the farm dairy people understand their business and are willing to take neces- sary pains to make their product fine.

A dairymar who watched closely two of his cows found that one ate $3 worth of feed more than tke other, but gave him #30 worth of mU*k more than the | other did in the cane time.

Wha cows are fed op ¢nsilage, dc

- vo not give it to them til aiter the milk- ing is over, Whenever any food is giv- en that may possibly taste in the milk, like cabbages, trriifps or ensilage, milk first, feed afterward. It is the food the cow takes just before or while sbe is be- ing milked that flavors the milk. This is a universal rule and must be heeded. It goes to show that milk is secreted while the milking process is in prog- ress. Cows better to be fed in all cases after they are milked if this is practicable.

IN THE RIGHT SEAT.

The Old Lady Knew Exactly What She Was About,

As the Broadway car stopped on the south side of the square an aged woman stepped aboard. She was plainly but comfortably dressed, and the style of her garments proclaimed her a_ for- eigner. The car was only partially filled as she stepped abourd, and yet she de- liberately sought a place among the smokers on one of the three rear seats, The conductor, concluding she was tak- ing the seat through ignorance, ran to her and caught ber arm,

Then this dialogue ensued:

Conductor—Tuke one of the front seats, madam. ‘These are reserved for the smokers.

Old Lady (milcly)—Dr-r-r-zeet-swi- obrararu.

Conductor—I say, these seats aro for the smokers. Ladies den’t sit here,

Old Lady (earnestly)—Ski-tooraru- \)zz-zing-tum-burow

Conductor (raising his voice)—Smoke- pipes, puff, cigars, tabak. Choky, smoky.

Ola Lady (smiling)—Pesky-hoparoo- all-ba-zingtum-bosh.

Conductor (looking around) — Say, does anybody aboard the car uncerstand this blamed lingo?

No response from passengers.

Coudneter (loudly)—Ladies don’t sit here. They take the front seats; the front seats, do you understand? These seats are for sinckers—men who smoke —whew, whew!

Couductor here imitates @ man sncez- ing and choking.

Old lady smiles, but resolutely refuses to leave her seat.

Conductor—Say, will you take a front scat?

Old Lady (with much dignity)—Say, vot’s de madder mit you?

Conductor falls back aghast and says no more.

Old lady thereupon reaches among the back breadths of her skirt and, pulling out a short black pipe and a match, pro- ceeds to enjoy a comfortable smoke.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Lvening the Score.

Lord Justice Kay, who died recently, knew law and was rude to every lawycr who didn’t. An assertive queen's coun- sel, who had not taken Lis snzbing as he ought to, cnce persisted in his a.gu- ment. Kay was amazed. He thundered: “I thought I could teach you law! I knew I couldn't teach you manners!’’ **That is so, my lord,’’ blandiy replied the @. C., and the laugh that followed was on his side.—Argonaut.

The dead-letter office sustained by our gov- ernment is not the only fone. Death runs a dead -letter office, to which are consigned thousands of intended letters that the would- be writers never wrote because of premature death, as a result of their own reckless dis- regard of health. There are leite-s of love and hate, affection and fury, pleading and forgivencss and borroring end lending. Letters to sweethearts and fivals, husbands and wives, and sons and daughters. They never reach their destination, for they were never written, JI --th s*-mps them ‘‘only intended “’—and t1: worid °: full of tears.

The man who wants to live to realize

ope? 224 cc ditions, to do deeds good or bad, to carry out cherished ixtentions, must pay some attention: to health. “ks bert rele of health is—‘‘ when out-of-sczs take thic riga. .- ly.” Dr. Pierce’s Gold- en “ledical Discovery is the best medicine for working men and women. It girds up the body and brain for the tug of daily toil. It gives edge to the appetite and makes di- gestion perfect. It fills the biood with the life-giving elements that build firm flesh, healthy tissse, responsive muscle and vi- brant nerve tissue. It cures 98 per cent. cf all cases of consumption. An honest drug- gist won’t urge a substitute.

“Tecan praise Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery,’ writes Mrs. Florence Hunter, of Corley, Logan Co., Ark. ‘Jt cured me when all other medicines failed. I had ia Grippe and it settled on my lungs: I was down three months when I commenced taking the ‘Golden Medical Discov. ery’ and one bottle made me sound and well.’

A mirror could not lie if it wanted to. The glass has nothing to gain by flattery, If the roses of health and plumpvess and beauty are leaving your face, vour mirror will tell you so. Health is the greatest beautifier in the world. When a woman sees the indication of ill health in the face, she may with almost absolute certainty Jook tor the cause in one or both of two conditions—constipation and de- arrangment of the organs distioctly femin- ine.. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will cure permanently and positively any so-called “female complaint.” Dr. Pieree’s Pleasant Pellets will cure constipation.

There is no reason In the world why @& woman should not be per- ectly healthy. She will gain health strength and flesh. Hollows end angles

will give place to fullness and grace. She will be that noblest and most beautiful of all creation—a perfect woman.
