One of the Most Important

Furniture and Carpet houses in st.
Paul is that of George II. Lains, whose
business Office and principal store is at
AS Wabasha street. Here he occupies
the first floor and basement of the build
ing. while he also occupies the third
floor of same and the adjoining build
ing. No. $50, and has two large ware
rooms in the rear and near the above
establishment. In all OF these build
ings Mr.. Lains carries mammoth
stock of Furniture, Carpets, Stove, Tin
ware, Woodenware, Cr0ckery, Lamps,
etc.: in fact. everything possible in the
line of household goods. His stock will
invoice $4,000 or more, and his sales
reach the yearly aggregate of S125,000,
and are rapidly increasing. His bust
ness is wholly retail. but so complete in
its way that he furnishes a complete
outfit of everything required in the
house, from the kitchen to the attic. and
for every size and class of house desired.
The business was established in 1888.
since which time it has pr0spered and
increased until it is now one of the
most extensive furniture houses in st.

otherwise that the gifts do come of the
tree. but the fewer presents you put on
it the better, for in their eagerneSs to
catch the prizes dangling before their
very ewes. even the beSt-mannered
children have been known to press
good deal nearer the blazing tree than
safety warranted.
The prize numbers should begin with
the Youngest, for the tots get tired IL
kent waiting till their elders are prOVid-
ed for. and as soon as each has received
the trifie containing his or her number,
blow out the lower candles at all events
and turn up the gas previously lowered
to concentrate the light as much as pos
sble on the tree), and proceed to the
distribution of the presents.
The more these have been hidden the
better. Sometimes they are placed on
a side table carefully covered with a
cloth, or else they are distributed by a
parcels post barrow, managed by a
couple of boys dressed as poStmen.
In Germany, at one time, ship used
to be brought in, and parcels duly num-
bered were drawn from its hold by
mimic sailors.

while attention is distracted by crack
ers. sweets and presents, the lights of
the tree are safely put out. In fact, it
is a good thing to have another room in
readiness receive the children.
A bran pie is an excellent way of con-
veying the gifts, each dipping in turn
and drawing out somebody's property;
or else, in a large party, where only
trifling souvenirs of pleasant evening
are contemplated, fill the bran pie with
small parcels or as equal value as
possible, and leave chance to settle
their ownership.
