HANG UP THE BABY'S STOCK
ING

HANG up the baby's stocking;
Be sure You don't forget
The dear little dimpled darlingi
She's ne'er saw Christmas yet;
But I've told her all about 1t,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And I'm sure she underst nds II,
She looked SO funny and wise.
Dearl what tiny stockingi
1t doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold.
But then, for the baby's Christmas
II will never do at all;
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything halls SMALL
know what we'll do for Me baby
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking of Grandma,
The longest that ever l can;
And you'll hang il up by mine, dear mother,
Right here In the corner, so, ...
And write letter to Santa,
And fasten 1t on to the toe
Write, "This Is the baby's stocking
That hangs In the corner here;
You never have eeen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby
And now, before you go,
just cram her stocking with goodies,
From the top clean down to the toe."

1t is great art to know exactly what
colors go best together Green looks we'll
with gold, violet or red pale blue with
scarlet, pink with black and white, and
gray with scarlet or pink. A cold color
generally requires warm tint to give it
life. White and black are usually safe for
any complexion. Pink is becoming to
some, but not if there Is much color in the
cheeks or lips. Maize or straw color is par.
ticularly becoming to people of dark com
plexion, with black hair and eyes. Above
all, whatever be the color of the dress, the
ornaments and trimmings, throughout,
should be correspondent one with the
other. If all that finishes dress harmo-
nizes, than the general effect cannot fail
of being good. Et
A room with pictures in it and a room
without pictures differs by nearly as much
as room with windows and room with
out windows. Nothing, we think, is more
melancholy, particularly to person who
has to pass much time in his room, than
blank walls, for pictures are loopholes of
escape to the soul, leading it TO other
scenes and other spheres. - E,rchd,0e,

Butchers Scraps for Feed.

The village butcher generally renders
his own lard and tallow. Fat accumulates
upon his hands, not only from the entrails
of the,anImals he slaughters, but from the
carcasses, as he cuts them up, and retails
them to his customers. There are parines
from the hams and shoulders of swine,
clippings from the surloin and porterhouse
steaks, that good housewives do not want
at the price of best cuts. These are thrown
into the kettle as they accumulate, the ami,
nal fat melted and separated under power
ful pressure from the fibre and Tind. The
refuse comes cut In solid cakes, and is sold
as food for dogs, swine. poultry, etc The
