Power OF Growing TREE.-Wslton Hall, Eng
land had az one time its own corn mill, and when
that inconvenent necessity no longer existed, the
milestone was laid by in an orchard, and forgot
ten. The diameter Of this circular stone meas.
ured five feet and half, while its depth averaged
seven inches throughout its center hole had
diameter of eleven inches. BY mere accident
some bird OF squirrel had dropped the fruit Of the
flbert tree through the hole on the earth; and IN
1912 the seeding wac seen rising up through that
unwonted channel. As its trunk gradually grew
through this aperture and increased its power to
raise the ponderous mass of stone, was speculated
upon by many. Would the filbert tree die In the
attempil would II burst the milestone! or wonld
II lift Il? In the end the little flbert lifted the
milestone and Ia 1868 wore il like Q crinolne
about its trunk and Mr.. Waterton used to SIT
upon il under the branching shade.

SHAVING WITHOUT SoAP.-For some
years they have made, in England, an
article for shaving without soap. 1t Is
called "Euxesis," and is an excellent
preparation for the purpose, and in the
hands of one who knows how to use it,
lasts a long while. A very small quan'
tity is applied at time, and no shaw
ing brush is required with it. 1t is
mt IN in small air-tight collapsible
tubes, which are portable and sell by
the single one at a shilling and Sixpence
in London. But little of this article is
imported into the United States, where
probably on account of the difference
between the value of gold and paper
money, it retails at hundred per cent
advance, ard where it is not manutac'
tured.

"TAFFY."-This is the season for en-
joying the favorite luxury Of molasscs
candy, or "taffy." Some genius has re-
duced the manufacture of this article to
a science, and gives the following di-
rcctions which will be Of interest to
"all whom it may concern "Melt in
shallow vessel quarter of pound
of butter, and then add to it one pound
of brown sugar. Stir them together for
fifteen minutes, or until little of the
mixture dropped into basin of cold
water will break clean between the
teeth without sticking to them. Any
flavoring that is desired, as lemon,
pineapple, or vanilla, should be added
Just before the cooking is complete.
The taffy when done should be poured
into a shallow dish, which is buttered
on the bottom and edges. By drawing
knife across it when it is partially
cool, it can easily be broken into squares
Molasses may be used in making taffy,
but it is not so brittle.

1THE LECTURE, last evening, by
the Rev. William B. Cults, Of Philadel.
phis, on Tour young men; who shall
help them and how,nwas handled in
the most mastery manner. Few lee
turers have the happy faculty of COM
bining the eloquent, instructive and
amusing in such perfect harmony, and
fewer still can present the practical
lessons of life with such weight and
character and apply them in a manner
so perfectly irresistible.
The manner in which he rendered
Philip Phillips favorite song, "Your
Mission" was exceedingly effective.
The paramount object of all his lee
lures, though frequently interpreted
with amusing anecdotes, is the saliva
tion of souls.
Our citizens are greatly indebted to
the Young Mems Christian Association
for the rare intellectual treat Of the last
two evenings.

BTHE MUSIC for the Sixth Ami
versary of the Lutheran Mission School
has been specially prepared by Prof. j.
L. Gould, of Philadelphia, and Hon. G.
w. Raft, of Canton, Ohio. The religious
portion of it is full of beauty, pathos
and sweetness, while the secular, such
as "Please Buy Brick" cannot fail to
elicit much applause. The Christmas
decorations, too, and bright eyed child
rem ranged in Glittering rows, one above
the other, and then the noble work of
the School holds out such inducements
as we feel must crowd Washington Hall
on Christmas night.

WHAT TO GIVE AND WHERE TO GET
TIN the selection of holiday presents,
many persons find themselves embar-
raised, and frequently almost exhaust
their patience without making a salts
factory choice. These are times, we
imagine, that require more than an
ordinary amount of prudence in eXpen
diture. The risk of making a useless
gift should not be run. To combine
the useful with the elegant should
be the aim of the selection, and
this condition is certainly met in
the choice of one of the best
blessings of these latter days, a genuine
sewing machine. The Grover 81 Baker,
at Oxtoby & Duffield's, 103 Main street,
is in great demand at this, as Indeed at
all, times; its merits are universally ac-
knowledged, and the jadicious are
making a machine of this stamp the
medium of conveying to lady friends the
kindest assurances Of regard.
The Grover & Baker has long been in
extensive use in this city and has given
variable satisfaction. 1t sews every
thing from the finest fabric to the
heaviest cloth, without a change of
needles. In family sewing it has no SUI
perior, and what is strange marvel
even in these days of inventive genius,
its embroideries are the perfection of
the art. Invest in one and make some
home happy with the present.
