A nice little entertainment was given
the Baptist Sunday school on Christmas
day at the church. Reading Of the Script
ures and brief address by the Superin-
tendent, Mr.. r B Watson, interspersed
by Sunday school Songs, was one feature
of the occasion. Another feature was the
distribution ol apples, oranges, candy, ETC.,
among the children. 1t would be hard to

Ways of Telling q Man He Lies.

That man who lies is liar admits of
no doubt but the time was not far distant
when it was considered advisable to give
expression to the fact, when applied di-
fectly to the individual, with something
IF prudent euphemism in the choice of
he particular choice of words chosen for
the occasion. Many delicate methods of
getting around tie difficulty have sug-
gested themselves to ing enious and inven-
tive minds. A man suspected of untruth-
fulness has been characterized as one
"who says more than his prayers" whose
word is mot exactly gospel truth; !"
whose methods of stating fact are
not in logical harmony with the strictest
demands of veracity;" whose practical
sympathy with the leading characters
lies of Ananias' views of truth is unques-
toned" and so on. But we have enter
ed upon an era in which these polite
methods describing mendacity are deem
ed week, unsatisfactory and superfluously
polite. Glance the word Liar" has
come into general use, and is banded
from one end of the line to the other,
and with a frequency that promises to
deprive it of the emphasis it has hitherto
enjoyed by making it too common.

How They Saved the Rank.

Many years ago, in consequence of a
commercial panic, there was severe run
on bank in South Wales, and the farm
ers jostled each other in crowds to get
out their money. Things were rapidly
going from bad to worse. when the bank
manager, in fit of desperation. sudden
ly bethought him of an expedient. BY
his directions a clerk, having heated
some sovereigns in a frying pan, paid
them over the counter to an anxious APP
plicant.
why, they're quite hot!" said the
latter, as he took them up.
''Of course" was the reply; "what
else could you expect? They are only
just out of the mould. We are coming
them as fast as we can
Coming them'' through the rustic.
Then there is no fear of the money rnn-
ming short"
With this their confidence revived, the
panic abated and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

The Cannon-baIl Tree.

One of those singular productions of
nature, which seem to us SO inexpiicably
puzzling, when we seek their use or OBJ
ject in being, is the cannon-ball tree,
native of the West Indies, and found in
the primeval forests of the Island of
Trinidad, and, therefore, nurtured under
the blaze of a tropical sun, and enjoying
the full immunities Of tropic heat. When
the man in the old story wondered why
pumpkins did not grow on trees, he did
not suppose a thing more improbable
than that which We see in this singular
tree. 1t grows to great height, and bears
an abundance of its strange fruit. The
blossom is shaped much like that of a
pumpkin, slightly colored with purple,
grows directly out of the boil or thick
branches upon a short stem, which
curves downward, and when the fruit
farms. it carries the blossom upon it,
after the manner of an apple. until the
fruit, having swollen to considerable
size, falls out. At this stage it re-
sembles large green walnut, but as it
advances to maturity, it grows rapidly,
and at last attains the size of thirty
two pound shot, is of dark, dull green
verging upon brown. and, being dense
and solid, is extremely heavy.
Charles Kingsley tells story of an
army officer, who, being ambitious tc
possess one of these natural cannon balls
stood beneath the tree looking up at tho
unattainable, though not forbidden
fruit, when, like the old womans yard
of black pudding, down it came on the
bridge of his nose, giving him pair o.
black eyes, which prevented his appear
ing upon parade for more days thar

Household Hints.

1t is worth recollecting that bar soap
should be cut into square pieces and put
into dry place, as it keeps better after
shrinking.
A little borax put in the water in
which scarlet napkins and red bordered
towels are to be washed will prevent
them fading.
An uncomfortably tight shoe may be
made perfectly easy by laying cloth wet
in hot water across where it pinches,
changing several times. The leather
will shape itself to the foot
When roasting chicken or small fowl
there is danger of the legs browning or
becoming too hard to be eaten. To
avoid this, take strips of cloth, dip them
into little melted lard. or even just rub
them over with lard, and wind them
around the legs. Remove them in time
to allow the chicken to brown deli
cately.
1t is little singular that we who love
French fashions SO much have not
adopted the convenient blue overall that
French children wear. Itcovers the entire

The CheaDest Wives.

.ney were spinning yarns. One old
man sat apart from the others and looked
sad and forlorn, as if he never had
thought of levity in all his life.
"NIy wife has been one of the cheap
est Injuries a man ever enjoyed" said
one. owe have been married eighteen
years, and she has cost me less than a
thousand dollars all told"
"Pooh!" said another. II have been
married nine years, and my wife's total
expenses have been scarcely three hun
dred dollars"
The sad man drew deep sigh and
said
Well, we'll! I was married forty years
ago, boys, and from that day to this my
wife has cost me only one hundred and
nineteen dollars, and she has had every
hing she needed, too"
GLOW in the world did you get through

FARM AND HOUSEHO Id.
Training Trees.

There is no special time to perform
this work, but it is as we'll to avoid
severely cold spell of weather. The
most important point is to remedy the
defect known as forked tops. The
branch inclining nearest to the perpen-
dicular should be selected to form the
leader, feature never to be overlooked,
and all others cut away. Better leave
too few than too many branches, thus
allowing free circulation of air and
insure better crop of fruit. A good
rule is in relation to having the branches
emanate from the trunk in regular
whorls of say three each, with about fif-
teen Or eighteen inches space between
forming what might be termed an ''ln-
ternode.n In the earlier life of the tree
is the proper time to perform all tram
ing and trimming, as the wounds being
then comparatively small will quickly
heal, and the shoots yield more readily
to treatment than when grown to large
size. Bear in mind, a tree properly
cared for when Young becomes doubiy
valuable at bearing age.-Josidh Hopes.

The public should note the fact that
the only proprietary medicine on earth
that ever received the supreme reward of
Gold Medal at the great International
World Fairs, Industrial Expositions and
State Fairs, is St. Jacobs Oil. After the

umphed over all competitors, and been
proclaimed by Judges and Jurors, in
Guiding eminent physicians, to be the
best pain-curing remedy in existence.

He Brought Back the Sheep.

A farmer of Warwickshire having sold
flock of sheep to a dealer, lent hin
his dog to drive them home, distanc.
of thirty miles. desiring him to give the
dog meal at the journeys end and tell
it to go home. The drover found the
dog so useful that he resolved to steal
it, and instead of sending it back, locked
it up. The collie grew sulky, and at
last effected its escape. Evidently deem
ing the drover had no more right to de-
tain the sheep than he had to detain it
self, the honest creature went into the
field, collected all the sheep that had
belonged to its master, and, to that per-
sons intense establishment, drove the
whole flock home again!-AN the Yeu'

The number of years which the horse
occupies in coming to maturity, the
many casualties to which he is liable,
and the lamentable manner in which the
fond hopes of many breeder are dis
appointed when a favorite arrives at
salable age, have combined to render the
breeding of horses for profit anything
but successful employment. The dis
appointments and loss of breeders are
generally to be traced to want of judg
ment and due consideration in them
selves, rather than to the absence of re-
numerative prices and public encourage
ment. Good horses of any description
always have and will. command good
and remunerative prices for the risk and
trouble attendant on their breeding and
rearing; and if breeders would only bear
in mind that ''like produces like, )" and
breed from none but sound and perfect
animals, with a due regard to the de-
scription of horse to be produced, the
world would no longer be filed with
