.Ot the 1865, 900 appropriated by the
Methodists to missionary work, $780,

ing nations.
Miss Ellen Finn has been appointed
one OF the Board of School Directors in
the Parish of Winn, La, the first APP
pointment of the kind ever made in
Louisiana.
One half of the necessary endow-
ment of $50, 900 for the Southern Pres
byterian Theological Seminary, at Col
umbia, S. c., has been provided for.
1t is said that Mr.. Moody's meet
ings in Salt Lake City carried conster-
nation into the ranks of the Mormons,
and were very influential for good.
conferences of Southern and North
ern Methodists have been in session at
Dallas, Tex, aud both bodies passed
resolutions looking to fraternal rela-
tons and coalition.
The managers of the New York
Cooking School, under the presidency
OF Mrs. Robert d. Stuart, have this sea-
son extended their scheme of training
to cover all branches of homework.
"A class of young men and women
has been organized in Boston by Rev.

ence of Civil Government, under the
tuition of Theodore Tyndale.
DIR. William Sharswood, of Phila-
delphia, is giving his time and efforts

moved. Mr.. Macintosh, whom we re-
commend to you, is native-born Amer

ucation. and this means a thoroughness
of education that qualities him to fill

A LITTLE CHILD.

For more than eighteen hundred Christian
years
In lands where wrath of winds the snow.
clouds toss
Children have sung with infantile, sweet tears,
The Sorrow of the Cross
Another summer has slipped down the world,
Cold threads OF rine have dripped with sullen
And dead leaves have been whirled;
The sunfiower heads that bent in giant rows
And feebly followed in the suns wan train
Are fallen low; the pines their ancient woes
Tell the black nights again.
And 10! Behold When up the Eastern sky
yellow light flashed with the Christmas
Across our household swept the tender sigh,
"A Son TO us Is born!"
Az, hushl Stand closer: see the tiny hand
With wrinkled grasp held in fragile fold:
See round its head the faint and dusky band
That yet shall be pure gold.
Thus looking backward, tits the Holy Child
That through the dusk at Christmas morn
we see;
A little child that, sleeping softly, smiled,
Throned on the Virgins knee.
strange, dim picture of strange, far land
The frost-pale earth, the drowsy fiocks
And, whispering low. that little, awe-struck
band
OF wise men, wsnder-bound;
little child, with large, new-opened eyes,
Worshiped and given of rare gifts, and then
Hurried In wild flight under dark, sad skies
Past stern, fierce, bearded men;
A little child who tried with happy fear
And mother helping his small untaught feet,
Who Knocked the bittern, when the night fell
clear,
In pathways by the wheati
And that far motherl Were our child-songs
hers
"sleep, Baby, sleep?" Did she, too, softly
And kiss down lightly. as he restless stirs,
His drowsy baby eyes?
Her little child who watched the brown bees
Who crept to hear the robin at the door.
With sweet chiid-wonder snatching at the
White sunbeams on the floor;
Who watched, by times, both bird and shadow
In even fight, and listen to the flow
OF sun-warmed water through the fringing
And bell-aowers swing .ng low.
Hush hushI the organs touch with thunder
The circling splendor of the star-pierced sky
young Childs lonely cry?
o woudrous power of tender Father carei
o wondrous power OF tender Saviour love!
Look upi Praise vel The Christmas star is
The young Child reigus abovei

Chapped Hands.

The raw winds of the late autumn
and winter often produce in the hands
of those who are much exposed to them
that roughness and cracking of the
skin known as chapping. If nothing is
done to prevent and the person is
obliged to have his hands frequently
wet and dried, the cracks will often get
deep and be painful. Corn husking is
frequently accompanied by sore hands
from this cause. As both a precaution
and cure for chapped hands we have
used the following with benefit:
Wash the hands, and the face also If
1t is inclined to chap, with borax water,
and afterwards rub with an ointment
made by melting mutton tallow Cor
suet) and then gradually adding an
equal quantity of glycerine; stirring the
two together until cool. For the hands
this mixture can be best applied at
night, using it freely and warming it in
by the fire, after which an old pair of
gloves can be put on to keep the bed
clothes from being soiled and also make
the skin of the hands softer.
An excellent glycerine ointment for
chapped hands is made by melting with
a gentle heat, two ounces of sweet oil
of almonds. half an ounce of sperma-
cetti, and one dram of white wax.
When melted, remove from the stove,
and add gradually one ounce of glycerine,
and stir until the mixture is cold. The
ointment can be scented with any per-
fume to suit the fancy. Keep in wide
necked bottles.

Detroiters No Business Out There.


Somewhere between Leadville and
Gunnison City wanders Detroiter who
is penniless, ragged, hungry and dis
courged. Four weeks ago he met q
Michigan man out there and sent his
love to all inquiring friends at home,
and also explained why he was in that
hard up condition. He was too honest
and too particular for that country.
He reached Gunnison City without a
dollar in his pocket but with lots OF
ambition in his soul, and soon met a
man who explained:
al can give you the softest kind of a
snap at "a day. / want you TO run
one of my faro tables.''
But don't know the game"
"You don't say, stranger. You must
have had a queer bringing up. Out

You'd better inquire on the next cor

The next corner was the site of a
saloon about to be opened. The pro-
prietor was a a six-footer with revoly-
er on each hip and in response to the
inquiry he said:
81 s'pose you know how to pour
whisky and weigh dust?''
"Yes."

DEMARK's WIFE.
A Christmas story.


OF course every one knows the mer-
camille house of Denmark & Co. Single
mann and were the Co., and Denmark
well, of course, he was Denmark.
Denmark and Singlemann had roomed
together when they were boys and
young men. Then Denmark got mar
ried, and Singlemann took the rooms he
has now.
Singlemann, old fellow" / said,
when we sat alone in the counting
room after the store was closed Christ

help on tomorrow. Come down to din
ner."
100 late, my boy; just promised
Denmark to go up with him tomorrow.
His wife particularly requested it, and
SO don't like to refuse, you know"
30, of course not. Very nice little
woman, Demark's wife is"
"Whatr' said Singlemann, so fierce
ly and sharply that / was quite startled.
81 said Mrs. Denmark was rather
fine lady"
Certainly! certainlyr' said Single
mann, looking somewhat abashed. Then,
after pause, he said:
II didn't exactly catch what you said
at first"
The fire was slowly smouldering in
the CRATE, and the shutters were closed.
poked up the Goals and remarked that
it looked little like snow outside.
81 always feel little queer and ner-
vous on Christmas eve," said Single
mann, evidently thinking about his
abrupt ejaculation few minutes be-
fore, and not needing what said; I" you
mustn't mind me-"
What's the matter, SinglemannP"

replied harshly. speaking more to him.

different now"
l presumed that it would and so
didn't contradict him.
Il thought you knew how near
came to getting married once" he said,
with an attempt at a laugh. The laugh
wouldn't come and so he took the poker
from me and vengefully poked the fire.
when / used to clerk here, you
know, Denmark and roomed away out
Woodward Avenue. thought it to be
nearly out in the interior of Michigan
then, but it's different now. Every
morning as came down the avenue /
met young girl. There were no street
cars then, and besides if there had been
well, we practiced economy, you
know-that's why we boarded away out
there in the country-but that grill
didn't notice her very much at first, and
Denmark, he never noticed her at all.
We both came down together. De-
mark was always thinking of business;
he was-have cigarp Listening is
dry work; smoke and make it dryer"
Why, Singlemann, you know l
never smoke; go on.n
toid you was queer tonight.
Did you ever notice how wrapped up
Denmark is in business? Business viii

How about the grip

but you ought to have seen her. 1 tell
you, John, young ladies nowadays

all their silks and feathers"
II know; Solomon in all his glory

Avenue belle-in plain Clothes"
He poked the fire for nearly two min
ptes, and ] began to fear that had
