RelIgious Edncation.

Prebendary Jones, in The Culver for January.
In short, true religious education is not, and
never can be, the sole work of any school, how
ever good Throughout the whole educational
movement especially of these latter days, many
of us have lost sight Of what true religious edu-
cation is. we are a great deal too fond of divid-
ing work into different departments; as if it
were the schoolInaster's business to hammer the
three RS and as much else as it can be got to
to feed lodge and clothe the child, and pay its
school fees, till it can begin tc earn few shill-
ings week itself; the Sunday school teachers
and minister's business TO provide its share of
religion But religion, the sense of obedience to
high principles. the sense of respect we owe to
God, can never be shut up in, and referred to, a
mere department. as if it could be taught sep
arately, like arithmetic If it is anything, it is

Cinderella Parties.
New York Evening Post.

For the social Christmas gatherings this year
the Cinderella dances for the young people are
in high favor. They do not necessitate any great
disturbance of the house, nor any exceptional
provision for the inner man. Wisely, too, they
admit of plenty of beauty sleep, though that
strictly socalled is supposed to be enjoyed before
midnight instead of after ''Grasshopper
dances is another name given to these winter
hops. These, like the 'Cinderellas," are of an
informal but not less enjoyable kind At some
of these parties it is intended that the dancers
shall dress in character of kind that will not
promote extravaganza. The costume by rule must
be manufactured at home, and the use of costly
materials discouraged, One evening the dress is
that of working people and the appliances and
tools used in the pursuit of their various occu-
pations is carried out and next follows

with all the characters chosen from each authors

productive of great deal of innocent fun There
are really few more enjoyable entertainments
than the Cinderella parties of this kind. There

The vandersliee Millions.

great granddaughter of Jacob Vanderslice, the
old Dutchman whose fortune has gone a beg
ging for century or more Jacob Vanderslice,
jr., came to this country, so the story goes, and
thus lost track of the old people, who had mean
time rolled up acolossal fortune and couldn't find
any heirs to leave it to. 1t is now expected that
two or three score of American Vandersices of
the male line, and ex-Vanderslices of the female
line will combine their resources for a final eff
fort They have retained in their interest the
services of James Usher, New York LAWYER,

pockets.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.

A snow man of cotton covered with crystal
icicles is an innovation designed to delight the
children.
Crosses crescents, anchors, Tyres, wreaths
and crowns cut of paste board covered with
sprigs of box wood, are popular.
A Santa Claus bag in the form of an immense
cornucopia or horn of plenty, is among the
novelties for decorating festive Christmas trees
Temples with domes, houses with cupolas,
constructed with blocks of colored ice lighted
from within. bring out the glories of a conserve
tory resplendently
Walls to be decorated should be covered witt.
pieces of coarse carleton to which garlands,
lichens, Florida MOSES or evergreen may be
pinned without damage.
Pyramids of fruit or vegetables showing pretty
contrasts in conceit and coloring, twined about
with chains of strung cranberries, constitute
tower of strength in decorating.
Curious conceits fashioned of cardboard stand
out clear against background Of hemlock
of flowers, fashined of tinted tissue paper inter
spersed with twisted ropes Of evergreen.
Flower-pot covers formed OF square hand
kerchef gathered round the top TO a cardboard
foundation with the ends turned over to form
four points are very pretty and effective.
Letters formed of white immortelles crystal
lied with alum common salt light up re-
splendently. Letters and texts covered with cot
ton ornamented with holly berries are pretty
and suggestive.
A Christmas carol wrought in letters of gold
against background of crimson, constitutes a
striking decoration. A suggestive wall decora-
ton is a star of Bethlehem covered with silver
paper and diamond dust, with a seintillant back
ground of silver tinsel.
Cunning little pals made of gold or silver
card board, with handles of gold or silver wire,
are filled with sweets for the Christmas tree
Wicker work baskets covered with dark green
plush and ornamented with cluster of balls OF
wool are suggestive, to say the least

The Return of the Brunette.

Now Iork Evening POST.
1t is claimed by those who are supposed to be
high authority on the subject, that the gentle,
graceful and reposeful blonde young lady, who
for so long has reigned as queen in Fashions
world is now, for a season. at least, to retire.
and in her place is to rule the brilliant, bloom
iLg and wide-awake girl, with dark brown hair
large hazel eyes and rosy lips and cheeks. With
the incoming of this style of breezy beauty an
additional exhibition of feeling and emotion is
allowed in the place of the non-expressive role of
the more angelic blonde. If the young lady of
to-day is, therefore, suddenly informed that her
home is on fire, her relative dead, or her last
best frock bonnet ruined by a millner or
modiste, she is now at liberty, not to faint b1t
to weep, scream or make use of any adjective
or expletive which may be suited to the case in
hand Under the new code she can laugh heart
lily, eat plentifully of roast beef or mutton,
which the doctors say will help to make the
beauty of the hour still more rosy and beautiful
she can praise, blame, or love or despise people
at will. In short, she has fine liberty to do
nearly all that in her fair blonde sister was con
sidered incute and unfeminine.
