Memphis must have celebrated Christ

atty Unprecedented in her history.
The retailers all did a rushing bust
nes', ard were, without exception,
compelled TO employ ezra help in
order to enable them to attend to the
wants of the ever changing stresm Of
purchasers that swept through their
stores. Even up TO late hour last
night the shops were crowded with
purchasers and the Streets a living
mass Of people, j1stIpg each other
good humoredly and pushing their
way in opposits directions, with pock-
cts and arms and HANDS loaded with
parcsIs. At many OF the churches
Christmas tres5 had been, prepared,

sons in delicate health should break
fast in bed half or three quarters OF
an hour before rising.
Dinner must come at noon for the
workingman, and should never come
later than half past one. Being the
heaviest meal of the day, plenty of
time should be given for it's digest
ion before retiring Even for dinner
mince pie and cheese do not consti-
tute wholesome dessert. Sponge
cakes and custard would be better,
and ifthe pudding is in any degree
solid, the greatest economy is to
throw it away. Pastry should
be sparingly eaten, if at all, and
should be prepared at home, the
paste being very light Sauces and
relishes should be little used. and
highly seasoned dishes should be
avoided. Wines and brandies should
never be used for favoring. But
little fluid food should be eaten, sol.
id food being best for persons of ma
ture years.
A plain tea should be taken at six
in the afternoon, and a very light
supper a: ten-half an hour before
retiring. 1t is mistake to retire
with any feeling of hungar; but a
supper should not consist of cold
turkey ham sandwiches, rich cakes
and coffee; it is much better to sit
down to graham or soda biscuits
with cup of warm milk or water.
OF all the meals of the day supper
should be the light"st. More work
will be accomplished through the
day and less WEAKNESS felt at night
if half an hours rest is taken after
each meal. Food should he partak-

Gated; one of the most important
processes Of digestion beginning in
the mouth. No drink should be
taken with the food. No wine should
be allowed.
