A Japanese Work Bag.

1t may be called that because it is
made out of a Japanese fan with the
brass pin removed from the sticks so
that the entire fan lies flat and
smooth. Then the two outer edges
are gummed firmly together and a
ribbon threaded in the hole through
which the brass pin passed and then
drawn closely, giving the fan a con-
lcal form. Ribbons are then passed
in and out between the sticks and tied
in bows at the terminus. Long loops
of ribbon suspend the fan bag at the
top, and inside of it is set paste
board box lined with silver paper,
and a large slip about hallway down
the receptacle. Before the box is
slipped in, the bag may or may not
have q lining of this china silk drawn
to a point inside This little bag is
used for spools and light needlework.

BUT PROMISED TO SHOW YOU
how the shadows might be turned
back. First by going much among the
young people. In most family circles
there are grand children. By this di-
vine arrangement most OF the people
who have passed the meridian OF life
can compass themselves byjuvenility.
1t is bad thing for an old man or
woman to sit looking at the vivacity
Of their grandchildren shouting. "Stop
that racket!' Better JON in the fun.
Let the 8O-year-old grandfather join
the 9-years- young grandson or grand
daughter. My father and mother liv-
ed to see over 80 children and grand
children and greatgrandchildren, and
a more boisterous crew were never
turned out on this sublunary sphere,
and they all seemed to cry to the old
folks, keep young" and they did
keep young. Don't walk with a cane
unless you have to, or only as defense
in a city afflicted with too many ca
mines. Don't wear glasses stronger
than necessary, putting on No. los

the company of those who are always
talking about rheumatism and lum-

genarlan talking about the shortness

COMPARE YOUR TAXES.

Below we give a list of the heaviest
tax payers in both cities. By compar-
ing the taxes with the year 1890, you
will notice that the taxes of 1891 are a
little higher. You will also notice that
the merchants of Centralia get off q
little easier on tax matters than the
merchants in Grand Rapids. This is
due to the difference in the men that
assess. We have this to console us,
that the increase of business and the
bright prospects for 1892 are very
encouraging. We append the list as
follows:

Past, Present and Future.


many a glorious throng of happy
dreams; its mark is on each brow, its
shadow on each heart On some
hearts, an ever widening, deepening
shadow that reaches through time to
eternity; on others only as the deepen
ing tints of rose or the changeful
color of butterfy's wing. Happy
i>leed opens the new year to these.
The new year is here. The shout of
Joy, the music and songs of welcome
still ring in our ears. We extend our
hand in welcome as our turn comes
The glad promise it gives to us sinks
deep in our hearts as we turn our backs
on dead years, dead hopes and dreams
unf1lflled. We have felt the over
shadowing darkness as the angel of
death has called again and again in
homes erst while so happy. Many long
familiar faces are now only a memory.
Old men whom we have looked to as
the pillars of the superstructure of our
fair city have been taken away to fill
inches III another city whose builder
and maker is God. Young men, the
pride of our nation and our city, the
hope of the home. the joy of the young,
have been ruthlessly torn away. The
flower of young maidenhood, first in
the hearts Of home and friends, first to
be called away. A long list of names
of the departed is written on memory's
page Among them ever lustruous and
bright are Mothers-Jessie, st. Amour,
Ratelle, Hall, and many others whose
kindnesses were missed in many places
this holiday season. Fathers and
husbands-Kline, Emmons, Edwards,
Bernier, Warren, Walter Wood and
Ed keenan,. A long list of old and
young, aged fathers and infant loved
ones, the flower of youth and pride of
years, missed in business circles, missed
in society, in church and homes, but
they have left US gifts of fair example
in dealing, good fellowship, gentle
manners, generous philanthropy or
other worthy characteristics, Young
and old are alike remembered and
missed and mourned as the new year
comes.
Our beautiful new church stands as
one of the proudest gifts that the old
year has left. 1t holds in its structure
art, beauty and comfort, in it's stained
glass windows, not only artistic beauty,
but an ever present reminder of those
gone before whose works do live after
them. In the life of the church more
than architectural beauty, or beauty of
stained glass, or handsome furnishings,
an evidence of what church means and
what women can do. What years of
allegiance, faith, work and steadfast
purpose can accomplish, all honor to
her who has stood by the church since
the days when in a rude hall, furnished
with deal table and pine benches, the
Methodist church first made itself a
name and power here.
Looking backward what changes We
see; looking forward what hopes and
promises are before us. The new year
is here, glad, jubilant, courageous, we
bid it welcome. Bright, cloudless and
full of hope the day dawns. Let clouds
come at times, as come they must, still
will we say welcome to the new year. =
