The Christmas tree is of German
origin and was undoubtedly a very
ancient custom in that country but
was only introduced into England
some fifty years ago. In Devonshire
it is customary on Christmas Eve fol
the farmer with his family and
friends to proceed to the orchard
with a huge cake and large tank
ard Of hot cider as an offering tc
the principal apple tree. The cake
is formally deposited in the fork Of
the tree, and the cider thrown ovel
the latter while the whole part.
singing =
Bear blue apples and pears encw,
Barn fulls, bag fu'ls. sack tulls.
Hurrah! Hurrah Hurrah +!
The Mummers occupied prominen
place in the Christmas revels OF tn
olden time and their performance
are still kept up in the south o
England. The performance consist
of species of drama, which em
bodies the time honored legend o
St. George and the Dragon wit
sundry whimsical adjuncts that con
tribute to give the whole affair a
aspect of very "tragical mirth.
The actors are generally young lads
arrayed in costumes proper to tn
allegorical characters they are t
support and the usual time fo
the performance is on Christina
Eve.

1t would be we'll perhaps, if one

Chinese Peculiarities.

The Chinese made wine from rice
nearly 1000 years before the time oil
Christ.
The Chinese are VIGOROUSLY cruel to
the sick and infirm.
In every Chinese house there is q
hall where the family idol is worship
ped.
The Chinese have ingenious methods
OF raising pearl-yielding oysters and OF
causing them to manufacture the jew
els.
There is not much variety OF design
about the houses OF the Chinese, as
every one must be on a scale cores
ponding to the rank OF the inhabitant.
Cases are known where mandarins have
been compelled to pull down houses OF
a somewhat better quality than they
were entitled to.
The walls of the grand edifices in
China are OF stone, but the ordinary
material is brick, and the work is often
executed with beautifully close joints.
In palaces and temples, gorgiously col,
ored glazed tiles were often used. A
magnificent example Oi TINS Is temple
at Pekin, all OF which is OF bright msjol'
lea, except its marble base.
The Chinaman uses his long pigtail
for many purposes than ornamental.
The schOol-master brings it slnartly to
bear on the fingers OF the recalcitrant
youth; the ass driver has no other in
strument wherewith to stimulate his
beast; the man tired OF life employs it
as hanging rope; and lastly, the ex-
ecutioner seizes hold OF it when h tie
capitates a man.

age-that would give a man, in the
mature part OF life, thirteen thousand

hundred and thirty.five thousand ma
ture working hours, A man who is
forty, however, has but ninety thousand
hours left: a man who is sixty has so
few hours left that don't want to shock
You by mentioning their number. Cal
culate for yourself how much time is
left YOU. At the end OF one hundred
aud thirty five thousand hours the ma
ture working portion OF life is ended,
and there is no doubt about this propo.
sition. Positively the pulpit knows
something on this point. fine moves
in a straight line, never in circle.
We say Tuesday comes back to Tuesday,
Wednesday to Wednesday, January to
January. The name comes back TO the
name, but not the thing to the thing.
In no circle does time move, but in a
straight line, an eagles flight, forth and
right on. The trees stay, but the leaves
fall; and you and ! are leaves, not

Pottery A n Business.

Mrs. Nichols pottery at Cincinnati IS
no artistic experiment to divert a itch
woman's ennui, but business venture
Of the staunchest sort, entered into to
supply a want which everybody con-
fesses to exist-table ware which shall
combine eheapness and utility with ar
tistic beauty of form. To make thing
Of common use at the same time thing
of beauty is the highest aim OF the art
decorator. In the Nichols ware this
theory is put into tangible shape. There
is no flourish or lavish decoration, but
each piece which goes into the kiln is as
perfect in shape and as exquisite in tin-
ish as the craft OF the potter can make
il. Every precautlon that the utmost
skill can suggest is used in the prepare
ton Of the clay, no expense in time or
money is spared in the designing OF the
models, and the finest manipulstive skill
is employed in the decoration of each
piece. The result is variety OF articles
adapted to the uses Of everyday life as
perfect as can be produced-vessels
adapted 10 the homeliest purposes, but
as graceful in outline as the slender am
phors or the rotund Hydra OF the
Greeks.

= People Who dine at hotels, and even
somstimes ut gentlemen's tables, seldom
And 4 salad that Ia really excellent.
Generally speaking, it Is black green,
hitter. and II IL were not for the liberal
appliances OF mustard, egg, oil and pep
ner- IL would be quite unfit Tor any hu'
man stomach. How different this is
from what cool, delicious salad ought to
be. IL seems practically tobetorRotten by
those who grow salad, that lettuce was
never intended to be eaten unless Dlanch-
ed. In Europe they grow long broad
leayed kind called the Roman or Cos
lettuce. which, after having attained
considerable development, has the leaves
drawn mp and tied together at the top;
The interior continuing to grow, and Oh
course in the dark, by the tying up Oh
the outer leaves, makes hard mass hKe
an elongated cabbage, which cuts up as
white and crisp and sweet as SICK Oh
celery. This kind has never found
place in American garden, because our
climate induces il to run too seed quick
ly. The various kinds OF cabbage let
tuce are preferred, because they close IN
their leaves naturally, and are supposed
TO blanch themselves. But this ID, az we
have shown, q pleasant fiction, as there
is very little OF the white about any
that we see, except where there is great
success in growing them into heads; VI
course, our country is not 30 well adapt
ed to the growth of good lettuce as
England is. 1t will not stand extreme
cold, nor does it like wal m days and hot
suns, 1t wants to 70 to seed as soon as
the temperature goes over IS degrees.
But we could have much better than we
do. All vegetables that We value for
their succulence require a rich soil to
their best development, but it is an
essential to good summer lettuce. Ot
course, varieties will assist. Some Of
American origin have been found to
stand our hearts without running to
seed much better than the English
varieties, which are better suited to that
cooler Summer climate. OF these the
Indian lettuces areexamples. Some OF
these have been improved, and OF these
the Hanson bears good reputation

To Keep Very Shaded Places Green

To Keep Very Shaded Places Green
Germantown Telegraph.
Especially in the front yards Of dwell
ings, both in town and country, which
are much shaded, We often see the
ground completely bare, not living
thing being perceptible. Sometimes
there are MANY nearly nude, struggling
limbs lying upon the ground or very
near il, which are unsightly AMI every
way worthless, that onght to be cut
away. This would give room Tor the
growing there Of some plant or vine
that would be adapted to it, and which
would not only cover the naked spot
and make it a "living green" but would
be adding very much to the general APP
pearance of the premises. The best
vine for this purpose is undoubtedly the
periwinkle. Ii will grow almost any
where in the shade ii the proper atten-
ton is given TO it, but not otherwise. 1t
is a beautiful vine, and will densely
cover the grouAd, producing nearly the
whole season very pretty blue flower.
Weeds, however, are its deadly enemies.
IL cannot fight them. Steadily they
will encroach until they drive away our
fayorite and occupy the field OF battle.
A little help now and then, however,
will defeat the common enemy, and al
low us to enjoy the cool-looking, popu-
lar evergreen for many yesrs without re-
newal.

Effect of a Good Dinner.

A business man who has been at work
all day will enter his house for dinner as
Grabbed as a hungry bear-crabbed be-
cause he is as hungry as hungry bear.
The wife understands the mode, and
while she says little to him, is careful
not to have dinner delay. In the mean
time the children watch him cautiously,
and do not tease him with questions.
When the soup is gulped and he leans
back and wipes his mouth, there is an
evident relaxation, and his wife ventures
10 ask for the news. When the roast
beef is disposed Of, she presumes upon
gossip, and possibly upon jest; and when
at last, the desert is spread upon the
table, all hands are merry, AMI the face
OF the husband and father, which enter.
ed the house so pinched and savage, and
sharp, became soft, full and beaming as
the face OF the round Summer moon.
