made the following neat speech: "La-
dies Of Attention., l bring you kind
Christmas greeting. wish you health
and happiness, I wish you Joy through
the coming year, but more than aught
else Iwish you peace; peace with God,
peace in your own hearts, pence with
your neighbor." Then tho good Santa
Claus distributed to every inmate more
than onctoken Of good will.
The next visitor was q famous fortune
teller, who made everybody laugh at
her funny speeches.
Thelast visitor was Mr.. Lewis Foster,
the bearer of Christmas greeting to all,
and Of useful and ornamental tokens to
Mrs. Marshall. and Miss Newman, the

usual tinkle of the bells was a welcome
sound to all. There was a prospect that
the snow would remain for some time,
as the air was crisp and cold last night,
and the snow creaked under the feet in
a way that reminded one OF the old
time weather. Of tho long ago.
The kid with the new sled was out
breaking Sunday in pretty good num-
bers, but the Sabbath was somewhat
effective in keeping them off the sloPr
ing strsets. To-day they will be intheir
glory, and numerous accidents may be
looked for.
The creek is frozen over and q few
people were out skating on it yesterday.
The back river is also covered over, and
there was q little skating there.
Last nights cold weather will
thicken the leo much, and 1t is not i'm:
probable that there may DO a season OF
very good skating, the first in about
ten years. Should the Thermometer
remain as low as it is, the channel OF
tho river will be closed here in q lew
days.
To-day will be tho legal Christmas,
though many people celebrated yester-
day, The banks will be closed, the

and other public Offices will be shut up,
while most all business will be sus-

Meohan. IN his illustrated Monthly
reminds readers that II Is the attempt 10
split thing against the grain which
makes splitting difficult. Those who
make hoops for barrels split the pole In
order to make them, but they do not
commence with tho top or slender por.
ton Of tho polo and split downward.
They could not do This: hut by taking tho
thicker end and working from the thick
to the thin no trouble IS found-tho polo
splits easily Also VA cutting wood, tho
expert Axnan knows that he gets along
nicely by starting ut tho thickcst end.
Still further. this hint can be uscfullS
applied In planting fence posts. While
the sap Of tree ascends easily by fol.
lowing the forked upward channels It
cannot so easily descend. BY planting
post, therefore, upside downfall Is
to say IN contrary direction TO which
the tree grows-moisturo will not be
drawn upward nearly rs easily ~ when
the post is planted IN the other direction.
An inverted post therefore, will last
nearly double the timo without rotting
that one will do set without regard to
this principle.
