Christmas Umbrella.

A very unique and easil arranged
entertainment is that of an umbrella
in place of a tree. Take large sized
umbrella-a fancy colored one, such
as is used for advertising, or large
express-wagon umbrella-is especial
ly good for this purpose; bore a hole
through the topjust below the ferrule;
pass heavy cord through the hole,
and suspend from the ceiling, the
umbrella being spread, of course.
Decorate profusely with tissuepaper,
paper chains, popcorn, or any of the
Communications commonly used on
on trees. By the use Of pin-hooks
the gifts can be hung on the cloth,
and also on the ribs of the umbrella.
By a liberal display of tasty decora-
tions this can be made very effective
and beautiful, and the work of pre-
pairing and clearing away is so much
less than that attending a tree that
the umbrella is especially desirable
for parlor use.

Infantile Protectors.

Writing OF the risks of travel in out
of the way parts of China, Mr.. Col
quhoun expresses his opinion az to
the best protection from robbery and
personal violence, to which the trav-
eler in that country is often exposed.
The Chinese reason that all foreigners
are wealthy, aud carry great riches
with them.
As We could not avoid carrying
money, no.secret was made of the
amount, and it was kept in an old
tin dispatch box.
Having the cash with us, we were
compelled to place our revolvers in
sight, a point which l had been very
anxious to avoid, for l am no believ-
er in firearms for travel in strange
land. For choice l should infinitely
prefer an umbrella, or, better still in
China, a baby.
The Chinese are so fond of children
that such an appendage would be the
surest weapon of defense and the best
possible means of ingratiating ones
self with the natives.

A New Start,

AS we begin the New Year we feel
as if we were taking a new start.
During thelast days of the old one
we should have cleared away a good
deal of rubbish that had gathered
about us; and now, with all rear
ranged and Strengthened up, we
should address ourselves to the COM
ing duties with a heart full of hope.
Encouragement and forboding are
bad preparations for any work, One
isnot utopian when he sees the good
side instead of the bad one. He is
only sensible, showing also appro-
pirate faith, and encouraging him
self with that spirit of hopefulness
that is a part of the Christian relig-
ion, as it is also, in it's measure,
characteristic of a healthy mind and
body.

OnlyOne Skin.

William Crawford, % years old,
who died recently in Chicago, was
peculiarly afflicted. He had only one
skin, which is to say that he had no
outer skin at all over his body in the
plainest manner possible. From the
time he was six years of age young
Crawford had been subject to bleed
ing spells, which were liable to break
out at any time and in any part of
his body. He lost vast quantities of
blood in this way, and was afraid to
take any sort of exercise for fear of
starting the bleeding afresh. For
two weeks the young man had been
confined to his bed. being too weak
to sit up, and bleeding at the nose
having set in he soon passed away.
Physicians we're sent for from various
cities in the east, but they could do
nothing for him. A new skin could
not be grated on.-Montreal Star.

A Shot at the German Emper-

An attack which the Emperor Will
liam and his courtiers recently made
upon the employment of French
terms in the German language has
received check, if not a repulse, in
the following remarks ofthe celebrat-
ed Prot. Virchow, addressed to his
students: mo language is rich
enough to furnish always the best
terms for all the ideas which we wish
to express. Consequently, we must
have recourse to a foreign tongue
when our own does not possess the
exact and precise term that we want.
Speaking generally therefore, would
give you a lesson, and L should be
happy to see you profit by it during
the rest of your lives: You do not
belong merely to your country; you
belong to all humanity. Let our
friends, the purists, take that for
granted"
