ond, do not give for Appearances sake.
Those who believe in these rules are the
ones to be helped by this description Of
simple gifts, for poor indeed would be the
souls who could not afford to prepare the
most inexpensive of them, while no one
giving for the sake of looks would take the
trouble to make presents.
Have you ever seen a combing towel.
No? Well, then, you must learn how to
make one, and when you have tried this
really necessary addition to toilet conven-
fences you will want your friends to have
them. They make acceptable holiday gifts,

them. Cut large towel in half erosswise,

neck. Let the seams slant to the edge of
the towel, even though it makes longer
seam than the pattern calls for. Do the
same with the other half of the towel,
using the back pattern of the waist. Sew
the shoulder seams together so as to leave
no raw edges, and face the neck and each
side of the front opening. Stamp or have
stamped on the front ends of the towel fig
ures of hairpins, comb and brush and hand
glass, which are to be worked in outline

Finding for the Plaintiff.

In support of the well established rule
that justice of the peace always finds for
the plaintiff-that is, for the man that
brings "grist to the mill'-may be cited a
cause that was tried some years ago in
Maryland. The action was against rail
way company for killing the plaintiff s
COW on the company's track. The testi-
mony was all in favor of the company,
tending overwhelmingly to show that the
COW had mo business on the track. After
the hearing the magistrate promptly de-
cided for the plaintiff The company's at
torney was greatly surprised and asked his
honor upon what grounds he could arrive
at such a decision.
He said in reply that the company was
negligent in not putting up a signboard

Progress of Astronomical Photography.

Professor Holden gives an interesting
account of the Photographic apparatus and
the work done in astronomical photog-
raphy at the Lick observatory. Re states
that the negatives taken there bear easily
an enlargement of $40 diameters, and even
double that amount. From an examins-
ton of the best pictures yet taken at the
observatory Professor Holden finds that
parallel walls on the moons surface, whose
tops are no more thaa 200 yards or so in
width, and which are not more than 1000
or 1000 yards apart, are plainly visible.
There is no doubt that enlarged photo
graphs are capable of sffording more in
formation regarding the moons surface
than can be gained by years of diligent OBJ
servatien, and when the larger lenses now
found necessary are brought into use, mar
velous strides in this direction may be
looked for.-New York Commercial Ad-
