WELCOME CHRISTMAS GIFTs.-The usual
practice in choosing Christmas gifts is to
start out with full rortemonnaie and
come home with it empty, having secured
dozen book and print and curio shops
meantime, to "find enough pretty things to
so round" The gift sent to one friend
might have been offered with equal propri-
ETY. to hundred others. Now everybody
worth remembering at all on Christmas
day. has fancy, or within, or association,
which a trihe will recall and crafty. Now
that we have so little money, let US set our
brains to work to remember these whims
or hobbies, and to find the suggestive
trihes, and, our word for it, we will startle
our friends with more real pleasure than
if we had sent them the costliest unmean-
ing gift. There must be nice discrimina-
ton, too, in asserting these trifles. There
are certain folk whom we know to be sorely
in need of articles for the wardrobe, and to
whom we must therefore give utterly use
less folDes, because they know that we
know it; and there are other and better
folk in like condition, who will receive a
collar or a pair of gloves with as hearty
and sincere feeling as though the Offering
were a strain of Christmas music. There
is one cousin whose gift must smell of the
shops and the dollars paid for it, and
another who, if we sent her our worn copy
of George Herbert, or the little broken
vase which has stood for years on the study
table, would receive them with wet eyes,
and find them fragrant with old memories.

AVOIDING COLDS FROM WET FEET
Many of the colds which people are said to
catch commence at the feet. To keep these
extremities warm, therefore, is to effect an
insurance against the almost interminable
list of disorders which spring out of
"slight cold" First, never be tightly shod.
Boots or shoes when they fit too closely,
press against the foot and prevent the free
circulation of the blood. When on the
contrary, they fit with comparative loose
ness, the blood gets fair play, and the spaces
left between the leather and the stockings
are filled with comfortable supply of warm
air. The second rule is, never sit in damp
shoes. 1t is often imagined that, unless
they are positively wet, it is not necessary
to change them. This is a fallacy, for when
the least dampness is absorbed into the sole,
it is attracted nearer the foot itself by the
heat, and thus perspiration is dangerously
checked. Any person may prove this by
trying the experiment of neglecting this
rule. The feet will become cold and damp
after few moments, although, on taking
off the shoes and warming them, they will
appear quite dry.

WHITEwAsH FOR KITCHEN WALLS
The first consideration in cooking-room
is cleanliness. Tried by this test, papered
walls are an abomination in such place.
You cannot darken this room through part
of the day in Summer, as you do others,
and, consequently, fly specks will be nu-
merous. These walls absorb the kitchen
odors and steam, and the smoke rests low
ingly upon them. If creeping things get
into house, they are sure to insinuate
themselves into the paper on the walls.
Hard finished walls are really more clearly,
for they can be washed; but, unless the
finishing is better done than in the kitch-
ems we have seen, they soon look dirty, and
this is the next worse thing to being SO;
for such finishing soon becomes discolored
and "splotchy." There is nothing that
will compare with the old-fashioned white
wash; not color wash, but whitewash, pure
and simple. The color wash may give the
walls prettier tint, but it must be put on
by practiced hand, whereas whitewash
can be applied by any one, whenever a
dirty spot makes its appearance. 1t is
true that Impractical hands do not apply
the brush as evenly as could be wished, but
few streaks more or less don't matter,
when we can all see that the streaks are
white and clean.

Trouble Ahead.

Merry Christmas. girls and boys
Santa Claus with team and toys
Now is starting on his way,
With his overladen Sleigh
Never needing cold or wetting,
Not single town forgetting.
But a puzzled look he bears
AS he moves among his wares;
And l doubt if ever yet
Was Santa Claus in such pet.
Now he purses up his lips,
Snaps his rosy finger tips;
All in vain he scans his store,
Names the children DER and Ger, =
Just one boy deserves switch,
And he has forgotten aehieh.
