Presents for Papa.

It is hard to choose Christmas pres ents for the husband and father. If you do not know his exact taste in neck ties you may make a martyr of the poor man. Of course, if he IS a man who is at home much, he will appreciate a dainty dressing-gown, but do not trim it too much. A half dozen handker- chiefs, a large white silk handkerchief, wristlets and suspenders are always ac- ceptable. In more expensive articles there is pretty yet plain writing-desk
 or one of the new ink-holders or pen stands, pocket diary of Russian leather, cigar-case or pocketbook of the same. A handsome article of this last kind can be bought for $3. A new shaving-mug and tooth and nail brush will make a good present; also cake of scented soap in'one of the many and curious designs now in vogue. Or you can buy him box of his favorite cigars or bundle of his favorite tobacco. If he is religious man, why not get him new Bible or hymn book ? and if he is musical man purchase for him all the newest music and music stand.

The Edible Crab.

The edible crab is obliged to moult or cast of its shell many times during its life. This moulting appears to be an unpleasant ordeal to pass, for the crabs often die during the net. When We see that they are not only obliged to escape from the carapax or shell, but also from the hard covering of their legs, delicate mouth parts, and even gullet-turning themselves inside out, as it were-it Is not surprising that they perish during the ordeal. The crab crawls up into some secluded nook or cove in shallow water to moult, out of the way of its hard .shelled relatives, for the helpless, newly .moulted, or soft.shell crab, il found, is devoured by them, as well as by several species of fishes. Fortunately for the crab, the soft covering hardeni rapidly, and in Q few hours it has new and strong armor, and it then goes fear. lessly out into deeper water.

Various Kinds of Soup.

The most common of vegetable soups is bean soup. Any kind will do, although the best are the French beans. Soak quart of them over night in lukewarm water. Put them over the fire next morning with one gallon of cold water. Boil for three or four hours. Add celery, onions if desired, and one or two thinly sliced potatoes. Simmer until the vege- tables are done. Caraway or dill seed is good addition to the seasoning of bean soup.
 Split-pea soup can be made in the same way as bean soup, except that it requires less boiling.
 Tomato soup can be made in the two following ways, and no one who has not eaten it can have any idea how good it is: To one pint of canned tomatoes or four large raw ones add one quart of boiling water. Then add one teaspoon full of soda, when it will foam. Imme- diately add one pint of milk. Put in plenty of butter, salt and pepper to taste. It is then ready to serve. Tomato soup can be made without milk. To six large tomatoes, or pint and half of the canned vegetables, allow one gal lon of water and boil thoroughly. Add large piece of butter. Beat an egg to froth, add little milk or cream and put into the soup just before 1t is sent to table.
 Onion soup is made by frying finely sliced onions in butter and turning boil ing water over them. To six good-sized onions allow gallon of boiling water. Throw in some parsley, pepper and salt to taste. Serve with slice of bread fried a light brown in each plate.
 Pumpkin or squash soup is almost a national dish in France. Indeed, the first mentioned vegetable is scarcely em- ployed there for any other purpose than for soup-making. To two quarts oI thoroughly cooked pumpkin or squash allow one quart of milk, plenty of but ter, pepper and salt. Serve with toasted 1 bread,

Massacre of Prisoners in Burmah.

A correspondent at Mandalay sends ap nccount of horrible massacre of prisoners which he witnessed on Snn- day, Sept. 2l
 Irhe guards placed in charge of the principal prisons, which are constructed of bamboo, set fire to one of the sides of the edifice, and, having assured them selves that the flames were already he- pinuiug to invade the parts which served as shelter to the wretched pris- oners. opeucd the gates, in front ol which there had been drawn up good number of soldiers armed with guns and swor,is. They then threw themselves like wild beasts upon those who, to es- cape being burned alive, rushed cut of the gates. The massacre lasted all the night, in the presence of the highest functiouaries of the town, who with cries and gesticulations excited the as- sassins against their passive victims. The number of killed exceeded 20O, and among them were some relatives or Prince Yung Tan. who is st present liy- .ng at Cssutta. The day after the mas sucra .ie bodies, mut''ated in mauner too horrible to describe, were lying heaped about on carts and in tue streets of the town For some months past the prisons here and elsewhere had been crowded with brigauds and political prisoners. A revolt was feared, and the Governor could find no better expedient to avoid it than to give proof of his de- te-mined fcrocity by ordering the mas sacre oI al psisoners without distinction of sex, age, or the cause of impriaon' mank"

Calling for Rig Guns.
rHK ARMAMENT BOARD SAYS ovEx l, 200 HEAVY CANYONS ARE NEEDED TOR HARBoR DEFENSE.

The report of the Armament Board has been made to the Secretary of War. The Board first directed it's attention to the depth of water in the channels lead iug to all cur seaports, and then ascer- tained the number aud thickness of armor of the known ironclads of the world which could enter these harbors. Tho projectile power necessary to pen citrate these armors was then calculated, and the number of guns considered essential for a proper defense of the harbors was decided upon.
 The Board submits tables which em. body its views and which call for 125 S-inch guns, 2l.5 feet long to weigh l3 tons each, and carry proiectiles weigh. ing 2S5 pounds; 226 l0.inch guns, 26 ST5 feet long, to weigh % tons, and carry projectiles of 575 pounds; 306 l2.ineh guns, 35. II feet long, to weigh 4S tons, and carry S94 pound prolectiles; 90 l6 6inch guns, 45.93 feet long, to weigh 1O7.77 tons, and carry prolectiles of l.631.4 pounds each; 5l2 12-inch mor- tars, l0.33 feet long, to weigh l3 06 tons each, and carry 6l0.pouud prolec- tiles. These guns will have a peAetrat. ing force at 5,0O0 yards through thick. nesses of wrought iron, as follows; Eight.inch calibre, 10.39 inches; l0-inch ealibre, l5.l inches; l2 inch calibre, lT25 inches; 16.ineh calibre, 2220 inches
 In conclusion, the Board says it deems it of the utmost importance that the guns and mortars above specified be procured at the earliest date practicable.

TALMAGE'S THANKSGIVING.
The Evils of OverproduetIOn aud The
 Remedy.

If the year now past has been to any of you one of misfortune or calamity or bereavement, you have many meIc.cs left you, and ought to thank God things are no worse with you than they are, said Rev. Dr. Talmage, as he addressed the immense assemblage at the Brook lyn Tabernacle on Thanksgiving. To vast throngs of Us the year has been one of overreaching mercy, and, as in. dividuals, and as church, and as a pation we keep jubilee. Other nations have felt the scourge of epidemic, bnt this land has been spared, and after emerging unhurt from a Presidential contest with which the blind Sampson of partisanshlp threatened to doom the pillars of State and leave the temple flat in the dust, and after 365 more days of kindness from our God we are here.
 The wave of temporal blessing has dashed to the top of the nations corn crib. Aye, the prosperity of this coun- try has rolled up until the crest of the wave has broken and recoiled upon it. self. Nothing is the matter to-day with this country but over-production and under consumption. The one hundred thousand wheels of American industry are slowing up, not because there is too little, but because there Is too much. God has showered upon the track of this Y,offpf, ornh x-oSf al .NE perity that the engine that draws the train can hardly blow through. The American nation IS being choked to death with surplus of production and manufactures. The deluge of supply has risen fifteen cubits higher than the mountains of demand. The man who dies for lack of crust of bread is no worse of than the man who is smothered to death in a wheat bin.
 Millions of foreign population that are yet to cross the sea for America will soon enough i'll all the area be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific beaches. But in the words of my text I now de- clare ''another door toward the south on the south three gates" When I say ''eouth" l do not mean the Southern States of our own American Union, but I mean the magnificent iDfinity of op- portunity beyond-Portugese America and fifteen Spanish-American republics and the islands of the South Pacific. Through that door will come the com plete and glorious relief for all this oversupply. It will come within ten years, within five, within three. [Ap- plause. On the 16th of next month, at the New Orleans Exposition, that door will begin to swing open, and, if the government of the United States fully appreciates the opportunity and the people of this country will help, the highest water mark that the wave of our national prosperity has ever reached will be one hundred feet under what shall speedily be the full tide of com mercial, agricultural, manufacturing, literary and moral success. The vast realm of population in the tropics are buying from transatlantic nations al- most equally, and from us almost noth- ing, and the tide ought to turn-and will turn, and preach this sermon to help it turn. Applause.

OFFERED TO COMPROMISE.
Deacon Boak,n seule. n vexed Question
From the Boston Globe. ]

From the Boston Globe.l
 Deacon Bodkin's eldest daughter, Mi randa, has been passing her usual sum- mer vacation at her fathers house, accompanied by her youngest hope, I'd of 6 months. Among other useful .ppendages which Miranda brought with her was baby carriage. During the summer the deacon has been very so- licitous concerning the carriage. He has driven away an unknown number of the neighbor's children who came into the yard to swing in the famous ham, mock chair and ended by playing with the carriage.
 "Chiren," he was constantly shout ing, ''let that ere carriage alone You'll break it next" until the deacon's solici- tude for the safety of that baby car riage became a proverb in the neighbor- hood.
 At the rear of the deacon's yard stands small building, where he keeps his tools and where he does odd jobs on rainy days. Here he made an asylum for the carriage, and he was at times greatly vexed that Miranda did not al- ways take care to put it in the shop when it was not in use,
 ''It can't possibly come to any harn if you will put it in the shop when yoG are done with it" he would say. "The enilen will be sure to break it if you -aye it out"
 During the past few days of rain the deacon has been quite busy in the shop making boot jacks to throw at cats and other necessary articles. The other day hedesired a strip of board that lay across the rafters and he climbed upon a ladder to take it down. The deacon is not as good at climbing as he once was, and the ladder was little unsteady.
 "I guess can get it, said the deacon, as he looked up at the board just above his reach. "Ef I only jest had piece of paper to stand on I'd fetch it.
 Just at that moment the ladder slipped at the foot, lurched, the deacon grasped irautically at the empty air, and before he could eiaculate Bless my soul, he alighted full and plum upon the baby ! carriage.
 The deacon was just gathering him. self together and emerging from the wreck of the carriage when Samantha appeared in the doorway.
 "why, pa" said Samantha, 'I didn't hear any thunder"
 Thunder ?" said the deacon.
 "Yes; hasn't the carriage been struck by lightning, or an earthquake, or some, thing?"
 Samantha" said the deacon, con fidentially, "ef you II never say another word about this ere carriage I'll agree not to plague you any more about ridin that ere pony"

In the Good Old Days.

In the old days, as now, some grumbled at not receiving as valuable present for Christmas as they expected. One of these grumblers, Archy Armstrong, Charles the First's jester, was taught not to look gift-horse in the mouth.
 Calling on nobleman he received a few gold pieces. They fell short of the testers expectations. Shaking his head he muttered: "They are too light"
 'Let me see them again" said the donor. "for, by the way, there is one of them I would be 10th to part with" Ex- pecting to get a larger gift Archy re- turned the pieces to the nobleman, who, putting them in his pocket, said: 'I once gave my money into the hands of afool who had not the wit to keep it l"

THE WINTER FASHIONS.
Various simple styles that will be Inter
 estinR to the Ladies.

Economists will be glad to know that the fashion of having the basque differ ent from the skirt Is now not confined to materials only, but extends to colors as well thus a red velvet basque is worn with black silk skirts, and blue basque with red skirts. This plan gives variety to limited wardrobe, and such changes or the possibility of them should be con- sidered in selecting the winter outfit The use of Jerseys probably brought this fashion about, as they arc often worn now in contrast to the skirts that complete them, a red silk Jersey being thought appropriate with black, blue or green skirts. The fine white wool Jer- seys, stylishly trimmed with wide Her cules braid, with or without little gilt or silver, are now used in the house with any light wool skirts, such as pale blue wool or cashmere, and light tan colored Jerseys are worn with darker wool or silk skirts.
 Wide stripes grow in favor for lower skirts, or as the apron front on plain wool or silk dresses. These stripes are lengthwise for short figures, and across for those who are tall. An economical plan is that of buying inexpensive velvet ribbons two inches wide, and sewing them on any part of the costume that may suit the wearer's fancy; thus a very deep apron of black silk or wool may be striped lengthwise by velvet ribbon two or even three inches wide; or there may be a short apron, and the whole space below may be covered by either perpen- dicular or horizontal velvet stripes. The stripes re-appear as vest, or a square plastron, and the high collar band and narrow cuffs arc covered with velvet. This trimming Is used on light wool dresses, and is very handsome for golden brown camel's-hair, with the velvet rib bon slightly darker, and also in the dahlia shades of pnrplish-red.
 Very pale tan.colorcd cloth, almost as light ns ecru tints, is made up in dressy costumes for young ladies to wear at af- ternoon receptions. Gilt braid and some slightly darker fur are the trimmings, and there is usually a fanciful cap or small bonnet of the same cloth. These are carriage costumes, as they are too light and too dressy to be worn when walking, although made of cloth, the material now most used for walking dresses.
 Tapestry embroidery done in old fashioned cross stitches in dull soft col ors is the newest trimming for black velvet jackets that form part of elegant house toilettes. This embroidery is not in borders, but in detached pieces sp- piled irregularly on the jacket
 To test whether or not color will be becoming, modistes lay the hand of the wearer on the colored fabric, and if the hand looks fairer, or at least does not not look more sallow, than be- fore, it is safe choice, and may be worn near the face.-Hdrper'S BdSar.

THE CHR YSANTHEMU UlM.
A CHRISTMAS LEGKND.

Oh, sleep my children, sleep Lie close together on your cold, hard bed, What have ye now but sleep? The fire is dead, And there remains but one poor crust of bread, That against your hungry waking keep. Oh, sleep, my children, sleep. The timbers groan with frost, and creaks the
 floor;
 The moonlight glances on the panes all hoar; The wind heaps up the snow against the door. A voice hear; outside some child doth weep. My children are asleep! But thou, young lamb, wide straying from the
 fold,
 pity thee, feet bleeding, numb with cold, Eat thou their bread-a morsel dry and old; To warm myself, beneath their cover creep. Sleep we'll, my children, sleep And thou, too, sl;ep, poor wanderer, till the
 day. : What ysxeth thee Wilt thou no longer stay How strangely gone No footprints mark the
 way, But flowers start through the drift so smooth
 and deep!
 Oh, children, leave your sleep. Come hither, come, and see this wondrous
 thing Rough winter to his bosom folds the rpring A holy guest to us the night did bring; These flowers he left, himself we could not
 keep.
 My children, leare your sleep! ..".. Leave empty dreaming on your cold, hard bed; For now the house is light, the hearth blooms
 red;
 Be hungry now no more; with meat and bread Do heavenly hands unseen the table heap. -EDTrH M THOMAS in Boston Trdceley.
