GIRLS AND MOTHERs.


l wish to tell you Of the case of a girl 1e
years old, who had been sick with suppress.
sion two years. Her father had paid over
$500 for doctors bills, still she was failing.
She had the worst countenance that l have
ever seen, a kind of greenish yellow she was
emaciated, had constant bowel trouble, and
had to ta6e morphine every night in order
TO sleep at all. All who saw her thought she
would die. Her parents said they had done
all they could. l repeatedly urged them to
try Zoa-Phora, but they were strongly pre-.
JUDGED against ''nostrums." Finally the
mother said, 1--WE must do something, and
this is as likely TO help her as anything
She and l persuaded the father to let the
girl try IL. AS a result, in four months her
functions were established and regular, and
in six months she was the picture of health
"a living wonder TO all who had known her.
/ could describe 20 other cases, not as
wonderful as this, but still very remarkable
cures.

he asked Of a ~bystander.
"Why, the bank is about 70 break and

with thee, yet will l not deny thee"
How many times did Peter now deny

A. The chief priests; the scribes and
elders the thieves and they that passed by.
How did the dreadful scene endi
a. Jesus, when he had cried again with
a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
LESSON XI.-From the humiliation OF
Jesus to his glory was but a step. In the
title of this lesson is stated the hope or the
world. What is it! How does the lesson
open!
A. in the end of the Sabbath, as il began
to dawn towards the first day of the week,
came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
to see the sepulchrc.
An angel had rolled away the stone, and
babe them look into the empty tomb, saying
TO them-what!
A. Fear not We: for / know hat we seek
Jesus, which was cruiciicd. He is not here
for he is risen, as he said.
What followedi
A. They departed quickly from the sep
ulchre with fear and great JOY; and did
run TO bring his disciples word. And as
they went to tell his disciples, behold,
Jesus met them saying, All hail. And they
came and held HIM by the feet and wor-
shipped him. Then said Jesus unto them,
BE not afraid; go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee and there shall they
see me.
LESSON XII.-What is the language Of
the Great Commission given the disciplesl
A. And Jesus came and spake unto
them, saying, All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth. Go We therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and Of
the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever l nave commanded
you; and, 10, I am with you Away, ever
unto the end of the world.

The Feminine Ian.

1t is doubtful if there be any mascu-
line lap. The male of the human
species has knees, and that is all.
Marco Polo, Herodotus, or some
other distinguished liar, tells about
certain far countries where it is the
astonishing custom for the young
men of the tribe to carry on their
courtship of the squaws by holding
them ION their laps while they point
out the effulgent moon to these re-
markable eyoungwomen. and lay plans
for future housekeeping. But both
of these worthy historians are apt to
use their words carelessly, and 1t is
probable that even if such strange
customs do exist the young women
would laugh at the idea that the
young nlen had anything but a pair
of more or less bony knees on which
to hold them.
But the feminine lap is indispensable
to the female. Man has no such
comprehensive convenience. She
keeps fancy work in it Except for tho
accidentle ball which rolls out), she
lays down books in 1t, it holds her
handkerchief, bonbonniere, flowers,
programme (if at the theatre), fan,
muff, parasol; her plate and teacup
(if at supper) and all her endless
impedimenta. 1t is pocket-all
mouth-an adjustable table, a bureau
drawer, a work basket, q valise, and
above all q desk.

Trousers Will Bag.

A well-known tailor insists upon it
that trousers will bag at the knees in
spite of all that you can do. He says:
"Your trousers will bag and you can't t
help it. The bagging can be lessened
by frequent DRESSINGS and taking good
care of them; but as long as men bend
their knees in walking, their pants
will bag. The skin would also If it
didn't settle back. A great many
men pull the pants up on their knees
when seated to prevent their bulging.
This is very foolish. The smallest
part of the trousers is that around
the calves of the legs, and of course
in pulling them up and bending the
leg greater strain is brought to
bear on the cloth. There might be
some way to sponge the cloth so it
would not stretch SO much; but SO
far no tailor has succeeded in hardly
lessening the cause of the complaint.

The Christmas Tree.

No home, especially where there
are children, is complete during the
holidays without'a Christmas tree
The latter are grand, elaborate and
costly in the families of the rich; but
even householders of circumscribed
means can put up trees that will
sparkle and please, for a very trifiing
outlay of money. Tinsel is cheap,
but it glitters, and children rarely
stop to estimate values.
A pleasant effect is produced by
brushing the prickly foliage of the
tree here and there with mucilage
and then sprinkling common salt up
on it. Among the cheap, home made
ornaments tc hang upon the tree
may be enumerated: Empty egg
shells adorned with decalcomania
pictures, walnuts wrapped in tin foil
, or gold paper; pine cone vanished,
then bronzed or sprinkled with salt;
cranberries or pop corn strung on
twine; gold paper chains, made by
paating one tiny ring within the 9th
er; colored tissue paper, etc. Fi~
tissue paper is cut into long strips
about four inches wide, and closely
cut across, but not entirely across.
1t is then slightly dampened and held
over a hot stove, when it curls up
and looks well when thrown here and
there across the tree.
1t does not require much skill to
fashion balloons, ,gondolas, ,birdcages,
coaches, ETC., out of stiff paper, and
after covering it with gilt or silver
paper. Figures cut from advertising
chromos or colored fashion plates
can be fastened to the balloons, gon-
dolas, ETC., and really look very pretty.
The same skill can adorn the base of
the tree in landscape style, with tiny
picket fenses, rustic bridges, and old
mill, etc., using moss for meadow,
red sand for roadway, white or silver
sand for paths, twigs of cedar for
trees, a piece of looking glass fringed
with moss for a lakelet, etc. Bunches
OF ivy berries for tree can be var
iously colored by first dipping them
into a hot but weak solution of
starch, and then into blue, red yellow
powder, or into powdered bronze
Notices for the tree around it can
be made of white cotton wool. The
letters are cut out of a card paper, to
which the wool is glued When dry,
