Indian Christmas,

Away up on the northern shore o.
Lake Winnipeg is Norway House,
one of the Oldest and largest stations
of the Hudson Bay Company. To
this point the Indians of large ter
ritory bring their furs for sale or ex-
change. In the winter season Nor
way House has been a lively place
for many years, especially during
the holidays, when the company has
been accustomed to provide some ap.
propriate entertainment for it's In
dian hunters and trappers. A Christ
mas dinner given here more than
forty years ago is described by Mr..
Ballantyne.
It was with something like awe
that entered the room, and beheld
two long rows of tables, with pud-
dings, pies, tarts, stews, i1ashes, and
vegetables of all shapes, sizes and
descriptions smoking thereon. I
feared for the Indians, although
they can stand a great deal in the
way of repletion; moderation being.
of, course, out of the question, with
such abundance Of good things plac-
ed before them.
A large she'll was sounded after the
manner of a bugle, and all the In
dams of the village walked into the
room and seated themselves, the
women on one side of a long table,
the men on the other. Mr.. Evans
stood at the head, and asked a bless
ing; and then commenced work Of
demolition, the like of which has not
been seen since the foundation of the
world.
The pies had strong crusts, but the
knives were stronger; the paste was
hard and the interior tough, but In
dian teethwere harder and Indian Jaws
tougher; the dishes were gigantic,
but the stomachs were capacious, so
that ere long numerous skeletons
and empty dishes alone graced the
board.
One old woman, of dark brown
complexion with glittering black

expression of countenance, while her

and thereby, much to her chargin, lost
the tea and cakes which were served
out soon afterwards by way of des.

When the seniors had finished, the
juveniles were admitted in a crowd,
and these soon cleared the remnants
of the feast.

Had To Saw Her Out.

Several hundred people crowded
the street in front of Galt's jewelry
store one morning, attracted
by the sorry plight of a comely
young woman who sat on the
fag-stones right in front of one OF
the big windows. One daintily shod
foot peeped perforce from under her
skirts, and the other was down in
the coal hole under the sidewalk.
1t seems that the iron and glass
grating that lights the vault under
the sidewalk just before the plate
glass window was broken. The hole
did not seem large enough for a
child's foot to slip through.
The young woman, apretty blonde
in handsome dark green dress,
stopped to look at the jewelers.
wares in the window. Suddenly she
gave little shrek, and seemed to
loose halfa foot of her stature. She
was evidently much distressed at
something, and little wonder. Her
French boot had slipped through
the hole in the grating and her leg
had followed it half way to the knee,
as far as it could go. She tried to
pull it out, but it was wedged fast,
So she sat down on the fagstones
aud began to cry from right and
pain and modification.
She was at once surrounded by a
crowd. The police came and made
the people stand back, and a~kindly
faced old lady did what she could to
comfort the unfortunate girl,
Mr.. Gait sent to a machine shop
for a couple of men and they came
with saws, hammers and crowbars
and set bout breaking one of
the bars Of tn e iron grating so as to
release the m prisoned foot. 1t took
fully half hour, and the crowd got
bigger every minute, but finally the
iron bar was sawed through and the
pretty girl was freed from the most
awkward situation OF her life. Then
she took a carriage and went home.

A SUITABLE XMAS PRESENT

Dick and Maggie had been married
only three months. AS is often the
case, some of their wedding presents
were duplicates, while some other
things, just as necessary, we're
forgotten altogether. The worst
of it was, that, as they lived
in village, and the presents were
all from dear friends or relatives,
they could not exchange them, as
we are told they sometimes do in
the cities, However, Maggie being
a sensible little woman, with the
knack of making things do, they had
got along very well.
1t was the first of December, and
Maggie, as she arranged the tea.

list ofpresents for Christmas. Ithad

she would have to buy the most of
them. ,.t.
She knew Just what mother and
the girls would like-father, too-in
fact, her list was all complete and
satisfactory, with the exception of
something for Dick. ''Last, but not
least, oh, mol" she thought to her
self with a happy smile. If he
only smoked! To be sure, she was
glad he did not; she thought it an
untidy, expensive habit, but there
we're always so many pretty things
one could give a smoker.
Here the click of the gate latch in

to open the door. -....

A Novel Christmas Tree.

The Art Interchange gives some
most capital suggestions for the
adornment of u tree for fancy fair
Or bazaar, and with some adoption
it would prove a most acceptable
Christmas tree. Select a large tall
pine tree, and tie on it about two
thousand oranges made of orange
colored flannel. Those who have
made balls for the boys will know
how to go about the work of cutting
the pieces so as to fit. Leave one Of
the seams open so as to stuff the
orange with cotton, and imbedded in
the cotton are to be placed the gifts.
Label each orange with the price and
character of each, whether it is q
boys, girls bachelors, maiden's
housewives, grandma's, etc. Of
course, have in each orange some
little article suitable for the one it
is intended for. See, too, that the
article be worth the price affixed to
the label. For The dollar oranges
there may be tiny brooches scarf
pins, rings, silver paper cutters,
. topped off with little heads and Jew
els for the eyes, silver thin bles, bon
bon boxes, cuff and collar buttons,
and Others that may be suggested
by those already enumerated. In
the bachelors orange might be pin
balls, or tat useful, old-fashioned
article, q housewife. In grand

The next day, rs soon as Maggie
had finished washing the dinner
dishes, and had tidied the kitchen,
she donned her stylish walking suit,
and set out for one of the two hard
ware stores of the village. Not find
ing anything that suited her rather
fastidious taste, she left an order
with the proprietor, to be sent to the
city and filed. Then, visiting some
other stores to complete her list of
presents, she turned her face home

that the problem was solved.
The following week, Maggie invit-
ed her mother, Mrs Ripple, and the
girls, Annie and Katie, to spend a
long day with her. Pa Ripple was
