Christmas Eve, 1S-, was, in point of
weather, a miserable day. y cold, drench-
ing rain, with occasional intervals of sleet,
was falling, while every now and then the
wind blew fierce, pitiless gusts. so that fe-
bic and elderly persons, encountering Bo-
reas in this unexpected manner at street
corners were nearly taken off their legs by

was plenty of coal on the fire, and plenty
Of food in the larder. the weather was
pleasant enough. But. unfortunately, ev-
Ierybody in this great city was net so hap
PLY situated The Pullinger family, for
example, who rented the front and back
attics at No 8, Warner street, Backfriars
road, could have borne good many more
Goals on the fire without any fear of being
over roasted. There was only tiny lit
tie bit of red heat in one corner OF the
small CRATE, to which Mrs. Pullinger ad-
ded fuel occasionally with such stern
eye to economy, that she might have put
it on with a table spoon. Mothers are
apt to be selfish creatures so Mrs. Pull
linger sat by the window declaring stoutly
that it wasn't at all cold, and that she
wanted all the light she could get that dis
NAL day to mend her husbands coat. If,

just in condemnation of the habit. Many of
his arguments are forcible as smokers will
readily admit. lie charges it with being an
idle and enervatng habit, destroying muscle
and brain and energy and life. Perhaps this
is his strongest point:
at makes read the poem entitled
Woman though it were only piece OF
prose 1t takes off the edge of virility. 1t
it does not make Il man less masculine. it
keeps his nascullnIty in Il state of partial
torpOr, which causes him TO look upon
woman. not indeed without a certain curiosi-
