A COLD RIDE.

How the Foster Family Missed
Their Christmas Dinner.
Prof. Foster went out boat riding
on Christmas Day with his son and
daughter and hadquite an eventful trip.
They embarked in Adams yacht.
There was no wind, so that the party
was compelled to drift with the tide.
They left Antioch at about 1 o'clock
in the afternoon, expecting to be
home for Christmas dinner late in the
afternoon. They drifted on down
past Pittsburg and were having gay
time notwithstanding it was intensely
cold. But when it came to returning
there was no wind, and they kept on
drifting.
They waited for the tide to turn,
but it failed to turn, and night came
on apace. 1t was bitter cold and
all the time getting colder and
colder. Finally they were COM
PEELED to anchor the yacht near New
York landing and embark in small
boat. They only had one oar, and
it was desperate struggleto stem the
tide.
1t was o'clock at night when they
arrived at Antioch, and they were
very cold and nearly famished. The
son. Edward, who is bookkeeper in
Stockton, intended to go hence on the
evening train, but of course missed it.
He bacely had time to swallow NOR
sci and catch the up boat for stock
ton, 80 that his Christmas dinner was
not taken with much elaboration.
The professor, as we'll as Mrs. Foster,
who was apxiousIy awaiting the re-
turn OF the family, will remember that
cold Christmas boat ride for many
day.-Antioch Ledger.

silences that now and then occur in

The remark was startling, and no
one ventured to make a reply. Mrs.

The Art Of Christmas Giving.

1t 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
shepherd and king alike. To-day, in
memory of that, I give you some lit
tie trifie, because I love you, but I
give it so ungraciously you scarcely
like to take it, writes Ruth Ashmore
in the December Ladies' Home Jour
nal. A pretty way to send a gift is to
do it up in one of the colored tissue
papers, tie it up with the extremely
narrow ribbon that can be bought Tor
a few pennies, the whole twelve yards,
and so give your friend the pleasure
of untying the mysterious box, of re-
moving the pretty ribbons and of
coming to the surprise at last, the
something for which she has longed for
many day. know woman who
has wanted q pincushion ten years,
who in that time has gotten two dia-
mond bracelets and innumerable
rings, but the long-looked for pincush-
ion has never come. She still hopes
for it, and believes that this year will
certainly bring it. You say, "Why
not buy it?" Well, now, who ever
bought q pincushion without the III
tention OF giving it to somebody else?
Give with a loving and full heart, and
never, under any circumstances give
that which you begrudge. Such a
gift will bear no fruit for you, not even
the honest fruit Of thanks. You can
quote as many times as yoa want
that "Unto him that hath shall be
given" and so it shall, because it is
just this way, my friend: You possess
the gift of gentleness and graciousness,
of politeness and goodness, and these
are gifts that call others to them. If
people are cross and disagreeable
there is very slight inclination to
wish them A Merry Christmas; if they
are irritable and snappish nobody
cares whether they are blessed with a
Christmas present Or not, but unto
her who hath the graces that ! have
cited, will certainly come a basket full
of good gifts, pressed down, shaken
together and running over"

CHRISTMAS LONG 400.

Most of the Christmas presents in
those days were designed by the
manufacturers for the hanging stock

Christmas number OF The Ladies'
Home journal. Anything too big to
go into a stocking had to go over to
somebody's birthday. In any fam
lily where there was more than
one child, the old reliable "No-
abs Ark" was always looked for.

Shem, Ham and Japhet. There was no
way of telling the men and wom-
en- apart; they were exactly alike;
but the elephant and giraffe you
could distinguish at a glance, on
account of the spots on the giraffe.
So also the dog and the COW; be-
cause the COW; was always white
and blue, while the dog was in
variably plain blue. Within twenty
four hours after the landing Arar-
at, the baby would have all the paint

man, and the doctor would be sent
