The Art OF Christmas Giving

Ii has been nearly two thousand
years ago since the first beautiful
Christmas gift came on earth, and it
was received with gladness and JOY by
sheperd and king alike. To-day, in
memory of that, give you some little
tritle because love you, but ! give it
so ungraciously You scarcely like to
take it, writes Ruth Ashmore in the
December Ladies' Home journal. A
pretty way to send Il gift is to do it up
in one of the colored tissue papers, tie
it with extremely narrow ribbon that
can be Fought for few pennies, the
whole twelve yards, and SO give your
friend the pleasure of untying the
mysterious box, of removing the pretty
ribbons and of coming to the surprise
at last, the something for which she
has longed for many day. | know Il
woman who has wanted II pincushion
ten wears, who in that time has gotten
two diamond bracelets and innumer-
able rings, but the long-looked-fOr
pincushion has never come. She still
hopes for it, and believes that this
year will certainly bring it. You say,
"Why not buy t?" Well, ROW, who
ever bought u pincushion without the
intention of giving ii TO somebody
else?
Give with LOVING and full heart,
and never, under any circumstances,
give that which you bcgrudge. Such
gift will bear no fruit for you, not
even the honest fruit of thanks. You
can quote as many times as you want
that "Unto him that hath shall be
given,'' and so it shall, because it is
just this way, my friend: You possess
the gifts of gentleness and gracious
ness, of politeness and of goodness,
and these are gifts that call others tc
them. If people are cross and dis
agreeable there is very slight inclina
tion to wish them A Merry Christmas
if they are irritable and snappisl
nobody cares whether they are blessed
with Il Christmas present or not, bu
unto her who hath the graces that
have cited, will certainly come ;
basket full of good gifts, oppressed
down, shaken together and running

The BrOtherlesS Girl.

The girl without brother is espec-
tally to be pitied, writes Ruth Ashmore
in the December Ladies' Home journal.
She is the girl who is never certain of
getting the pleasures of life unless she
is very attractive. of course, she has
no brother who she is certain will take
her everywhere: she is apt to get a
little bit vain, for she has no brother
to tell her, as only Il brother will, of
her faults and mistakes. 1t IS only
the somewhat doubtful tact of Il brother
that announces 81 wouldn't walk up
street with You in that frock," and the
girl whose brother says this to her may
be certain that he is only expressing
the opinion of other girls brothers
He may not do it in the most gentle
way, but he does tell the truth, and if
you ask him why paying II visit TO an
other girl is more desirable than TO one
you know, he will sit down and look
at YOU, and then he will say: "Well.
you see, it is just this way: From the
time you get there she is Il nice girl
who gives you pleasant welcome aud
yet doesn't gush over you. She is en-
tertaining, and yet she has Il fashion
of putting down nasty gossip or silly
talk among whoever Is there. She is
Il restful sort of girl, she is not always
wanting to do something that tires you
half to death and where the game isn't
worth the candle, and when she says
good-by to you, you feel certain that
she is pretty glad You came, and that
she will be glad to see you another
time, but that she doesn't look upon

Silver Coinage


WASHINGTON, June 29.-It is doubted in
quarters here ordinarily well-informed,
whether, as announced by prominent Re
publican newspaper to-day, the administra-
lion has decided to permanently suspend
the coinage OF silver The question has
occupied good deal Of attention, and was
undoubtedly discussed at Fridays cabinet
meeting, but it was partly settled then. One
policy indicated would, it is known, be
most agreeable to the president and TO
Secretary Foster, and Senator Sherman,
upon whom both are relying for financial
suggestions, would doubtless approve it.
But there is so much involved, and the sit
anton is so ticlIlish. that a final decision on
the point vii hardly he reached before
tall. There need be no hurry to decide
The minis Will be very busy coming trade
dollar bars and rccoining subsidiary coin
until October at least, and meanwhile some
Few light may be thrown on the question.
The administration is studying the senti-
ueut OF the West as never before. and is
ghowing a disposition to follow Western
advice TO a significant extent. Silver,
therefore, must and viii be treated in a gin
ycrly way The West has always com
planned when the coinage of its favorite
metal was even temporarily suspended, and
the West Will be consulted before suspen-
sion IS ordered now. The bare purchase of
JulIion and issuing Of silver coinage has
never satisfied the West, and if she is TO be
convinced on that point it is likely to take
little time

The Western Grain Crnn

| a recent Western exchange, which is d
noted crop aathority. says: The harvest
ing of winter wheat has made considerable
progress IN various districts in Southern
! Kansas, Missouri, Illinois. etc, and further
southwark. The continuance of excessive
rains has threatened something of disaster
II wide area, and an appreciable impair
ment to the crop has occurred in many
! places, notably in Kansas, Missouri and
kentucky. In some instances where the
/ grain is fully ripcned it is impossible to
carry on harvesting operations, because Of
the wet condition Of the ground.
The evidences in many cases are rather
moro emphatic than previously of injury
traceaOe to insects and 10 blight. The
complaints in regard to rust are not espe-
cially unusual. With these drawbacks it is
to be also noted that large proportion of
recent returns maintain Il very favorable
view, and the general average position of
the winter crop is not impaired to an i'm
portant extent.
In the Northwest recent rains have been
especially helpful and the position OF spring
Sown crops has improved, and is now gen
orally favorable.
The corn crop mas improved decidedly in
general average condition, but TO a large
extent proper cultivation has been pre-
vented by excessive moisture.
The returns concerning oats are more en-
couraging, and while thc crop is quite def
cient in many portions of the West it Las
made an important recovery from its back
ward condition in other regions, 50 that lhe
indications favor fair outcome for the
crop as whole.
At the close fair weather prevails
throughout the West, giving encourage

of corn may progress favorabiy. In many
districts The laboring resources VIII be
