CHRISTMAS GIFTS,

Ladies skilled in the use of the brush
or needle can make charming articles
for Christmas gifts. Pretty tides can
be made Of coarse linen or fine crash,
with drawn work and fringe ACROSS the
ends. In the center some pretty de-
sign can be worked in the simple out
line stitch either with black silk or col
ored floeelle. This stitch is like the
stem stitch in embroidery, and is made
by putting the needle in backward. jap
aneee figures, long, reedy grasses and
cat-tails with fight Of birds, or ferns
and butterflies, are appropriate designs.
A pretty set of window shades can be
made of pongee worked across the bot
tom in Chinese designs. There should
be hem at the bottom wide enough to
hold the curtain stick, and silk fringe
the color Of the pongee put on the bot
tom of the shade. About two inches
from the top of the hem put line of
large cat-stitching across the curtain,
using black sewing silk; seven inches
above this put q similar line. In the
space between these work a process
sion of Chinese men and women in out
line. The figures can easily be copied
from fans or the cheap Chinese pictures,
on thin paper, and then worked on the
pongee. They can be outlined simply
in black, or brighter effect may be
given by using colored silks. If this is
done, little bits of the colors used should
be knotted into the fringe. The design
should be worked on the inside
of the shade, and the stitches
made in doing this will partially outline
it on the side toward the window. The
design can then be completed on this
side by putting ones needle through
these stitches, instead of taking them in
the material. Pretty little screens can
be painted or embroidered, and lambre-
quins fer brackets. Gold colored satin,
with design of cardinal flowers, or a
spray of green leaves, or any brilliant
flower, is very effective. The new brack-
cts have support under each end of
the shelf instead of one in the middle

A MAN OF FEW Words.

To prove the garrulity of some trav-
elers, we state the following facts: A
young man arrived at an inn, and, after
alighting from his horse, went into the
travellers room, while he walked back
ward and forward for some minutes,
displaying the utmost Impotence. At
length he rang the bell, and upon the
walters appearance gave him an order
nearly as follows: ~Waiter!" The
waiter replied, "Sir." II am man of
few words, and don't like continually
ringing the bell and disturbing the
house. I'll thank you to listen to what
I am going to say" The waiter again
replied, ayes, SIR" an the first place,
bring me glass of brandy and water,
cold, with little sugar, and also tea
spoon; wipe down the table, throw
some Goals on the fire, and sweep up
the hearth; bring me couple of oan-
dies, pen, ink and paper, some waters,
a little sealing-wax, and let me know
what time the post goes out. Tell the
hostler to take care of my horse, dress
him well, stop his feet, and let me know
when he is ready to feed. Order the
chambermaid to prepare me a good bed,
take care that the sheets are well aired,
a clean night-cap and glass of water
in the room. Send the Boots with q
pair Of slippers that I can walk to the
table in; tell him I must have my boots
cleaned and brought into this room to-
night, and that I shall want to be called
at o'clock in the morning. Ask Your
mistress what I can have for supper;
tell her I should like roast duck, or
something of that sort; desire your
master to step in, want to ask him q
few questions about the diapers of this
town" The waiter answered, "Ye~,

CROWDS OF CROTs.

Thousands of crows have selected a
strip of pine forest near Charlotte, n.
c., as roosting place, and they darken
the air in their flights as they fly to the
south in the morning and return to
their roost at night. Their number
seems to be almost incalculab:e. At
night the pines sway beneath theweight
of their crowding numbers, and if one
fires gun or makes any other noise to
disturb them at night, the rumbling of
thousands of wings makes roar like
distant thunder, sounding weird and
frightful in the ghostly darkness of the
somber pines

SHE GOT EVEN ON HER CRITICS.

A French journalist wrote a rather
unfavorable criticism Of the perform
ance of an actress. The latter felt
deeply wounded, and longed for
chance to get square with him. One
evening at the Varieties, where she was
in company with fast and stupid
young gentleman of the aristocracy, she
spied the journalist in question. She
had package for him, which she re-
quested her friend to deliver in person.
The dandy rose, and, taking the pack
age from the lady's hand, walked over
to the newspaper man and presented it
to him, saying: mile. Daverger, who
admires your talent as journalist, has
requested me to present you with this
package as souvenir from her." The
critic took the package and quietly
opened it before the curious eyes of
about twenty persons who had heard
the dandy's little speech. It contained
about dozen goose quilts. Smiles and
suppressed laughter were in order, but
the scribe was equal to the occasion.
"Ah, my dear sir" said he to the dan
dy, please give my best thanks to the
lady for these pretty feathers. I was
aware of the fact that she plucked her
admirers, but I really didn't think she
did SO on my account"

CHRISTMAS IN OLD TIMES.
BY SIR WALTER SCOTT.

The fire, with well-drjed logs Supplied,
Went roaring up the chimney wide;
The huge hall tables eake1 face,
Scrubbed till it shene the day to grace,
Bore then upon its massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord;
Then was brought in the lussy Drawn,
By old blue-ooated serving man;
Then the grim boar's head frovned on high,
Crested with bays and rosemary.
Well can the green CARRIED ranger tell
How, when and where the monster fell;
What dogs be ore his death be tore,
And all the batting of the DO r.
The wassail round, in good brown bowls,
Garnished with ribbons, bli hlT trowls,
There the huge siPloin reeked; hard by
Plum porridge stood, and Christmas pie,
Nor failed old Scotland to produce,
At such high tide, her savory goose.
Then came the merry maskeTs in;
And carols roared with blithesome din;
Ii unmelOdiOus was the song,
1t was hearty note and strong.
Who lists may in their mumming see
Traces of ancient mystary;
White shirts supplied the masquerade,
And smutted cheeks The visions made;
But, h. what maskers, richly Digit,
Can boast of bosnns half so light?
England was merry England, when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas broacEAd the mightieot ale!
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;
A Christmas gambol oft would cheer
The poor mans heart through half the year.

four years. A new and more equitable

four years. A new and more equitable
assessment Of the poIl-ta1 was decreed.
Most of the disabilities which weighed
upon the Jews was removed Thousands
of crown serfs were manumitted and re-
ceived grants Of land. Finally, the chill
dren OF soldiers who, under the former
reign, had been brought up by the state
to enter the army were restored to Their
parents. These truly wise largesses
evoked the most cordial popular graft
tude, insomueh that the Ozar began his
reign as peoples darling. He was so
well aware of this that he conceived the
grandiose idea of giving a banquet to
100000 Of his poorer subjects from
Moscow and the adjacent villages in the
plains around Petrowski. Preparations
were made for this amazing feast by
covering square mile with tables, and
the tables with hunks of beef, bread
and casks Of kaUass. Unluckily, the
impotence of the guests did not allow
them to wait till the day of the dinner.
A flagstaff had been erected in the mid
die of the plain, and it had been ar
ranged that the signal to "fall-to"
should be given by the hosting of the
flag. On the evening before the day of
the feast, while some 100000 maWiks
were lettering round the plain shifting
the food, an English officer, named
Minakoff, wishing to try if the ropes of
the flagstaff worked well, gave them a
tug and sent the bunting flying aloft.
In the twinkle Of an eye the multitude
OF msWiks swooped upon the tables
and made clearance. No horde Of
famished wolves could have done the
work better. Beef, bread, beer-every-
thing went, and when these were gone
the wooden dishes were carried off also.
The Gar laughed when he was told of
the matter. SWELL, well, so long as they
enjoyed themselves that is all I wanted"

4 GOOD THING FOR THE JURORS.

Tom Fitch is o man of infinite re-
sources. Over in Cochise county they
tell an anecdote about him which pos
sesses a peculiar interest. When bis
tax suit against the Southern Pacific
railroad was up, Tom stoutly advised
the Indictment Of Crocker for alleged
perjury. The ground taken for the in
dictment was Crocker's affidavit that
the railroad property in Cochise county
was only worth $4,000 mile.
But" urged the foreman of the
Grand Jury, whats the use of it? We
can never convict him."
"But we can indict him and bring
him here for trial, " protested Mr.. Fitch.
aBut he'll get clear" replied the fore
man; what can you accomplish by it ?"
Tom looked the foreman squarely in
the face, and, hitching his chair little
closer to the listening jury, he replied
confdentially, well make twelve men
in Cochise county comfortable for life.
That settled it.-Arisona Star.

THE LESSON OF IN INCIDENT IN
WEBSTERS LIFE.

Webster's father was farmer, and
he wanted Daniel to become farmer
too. But Daniel did not take to the
idea very kindly. One day the old gen
tleman took Daniel with him to the
bayfield, and gave him scythe, and he
says: "Now, Daniel, I am going to
start off here, and want you to start
right along behind me and now" Dan
iel said nothing, but took the scythe,
for he always tried to mind his father.
The old gent went along right ahead,
never looking back, but Dan took one
or two strokes and stopped. He looked
at his scythe, and began tinkering at it.
Meanwhile the old gent went right
through with his swath, and when ne
got TO- the end of the field he TUNED
around and 10 there was Dan away in
the other part of the field. He shout
dered his scythe and marched back to
where Daniel was. and says he: "Dau-
iel, what is the matter with you?'
SWell," Dan says, "this scythe don't
hang to suit me- The old man took
the scythe and hung it as Dan directed.
Several throughs were made in succes-
sion, and each time as the old man
turned round at the end he would dis
cover Daniel in the same position in
the other end, fixing his scythe. Finally
the old man, after trying in vain for SO
many times 10 hang it to suit Dams no,

said: Daniel, you are lazy. You will
