scissors and a buttOnhook attachment.

recipient.
A girl with taste for needlework can

wooden framework upon which you
have written motto in liquid gold.
Give man the biggest and squarest
paper basket you can find. Coax it into

A tiny brass chain with a large and
very sharp pair of scissors attached

Men like more than people give them

They found by their summing-if figures
don't lie
twas TRAVELLING route up somewhere in the
sky:
And that though it was coursin and feet
ing away
IT'S direction was such it would reach us next
day.
Contradictory minds in such warning condi-
ton
Suggested effects from Mars late "opposi-
tom"
None the less, what was said caused a raising
of fears
And a setting the rest of mankind by the
ears.
AS to whether twas Biela, or whether twas
Holmes.
The arguments rendered would fill fifty
tones:
But as day followed day it began to be GER
tain
That this singular comet was drawing its
curtain;
So the sky-larking disputants, fired with
caloric,
Forthwith fell to threatening showers me-
teoric;
And credulous people, unhaeding their jars,
Made vast pre- paratons for lodging the
stars;
They quickly betook them to watchful array,
And nervously looked for the opening dis
play;
But all of their watching and looking was
vain,
Since nothing came down but a damp,
drilling rain;
They hurried to cover. got out of the wet,
And left the astronomers, figuring yet.

Beautiful Hands.

ot LOUIS hepuullc
Not only the ladies should have pretty
hands-a rough, untidy pair of hands is
Just as unnecessary for man to have
as a woman-beautiful white hands
very many can have if nature has
, been kind enough to bestow upon them
fair skins. All may have Deat look
ing, smooth hands. A lemon, some
oatmeal, palm Oil, soap and tepid
water and a few ounces of glycerine
will be ali sufficient to accomplish the
desired result. After the hands are
| washed clean in the water, to which has
been added tableSp oonful of oatmeal
and teaspoonful Of glycerine, and the
palm-oil soap freely used, rub over the
wet hands the lemon juice; apply it es-
pecially well about the nails, for it har
dens the skin and prevents the forma-
ton OF hang nails.

PRESENTS TO BRIDESMAIDS
The Custom Which Now Prevails
in London.

The Custom Which Now Prevails
in London.
With alarm l note that it is become
more and more fashionable. says Lon
don correspondent, for brides to give
their bridesmaids presents.
Once the bridegroom would as little
have expected to escape the half.dozen
gold bangles or initial brooches, which
usually fail to the share OF the attend
ant damsels, as he would have dreamt
of failing to present the bride with he1
bouquet.
But the young man of today has care
fully weighed all these expenses, and
discouraged, as far as possible, the bevy
of maids with whom brides love to sur.
round themselves. and the latter some
times find that if they are to go to the
altar with the regulation number of
| damselS in their train they must them
selves provide the customary gifts.
This is a bad sign. 1t is a very bad
thing to encourage masculine meanness,
and no generously -minded bridegroom
would attempt to Shirk the shower of
bangles or brooches.
do not believe either that brides
maids believe in or care for gifts from
the bride half as much as if they were
presented by the happy benedict. The
total abolition of bridesmaids will in
evitably result, moreover, if the fashion
grows.

We must cen tell the truth though it humble
their PRIDE
Their comet was Santa Claus taking a ride.
Twas a month before Christmas, and Santa
was busy
And whirlng through space in manner
quite dizzy;
His mission at present a lawful espial
On the children of earth who were now upon
trial
For before he set out on his midWinter trip,
Or made up his pack or adjusted his grip
Twas his fashion and practice thuswise to
survey
The people and realm over which he held
sway:
His favors requiring due discrimination,
Each year he went through with this same
operation
Of listing and tabbing the good and the bad
And supplies estimating, that needs must be
had
dc journey along till he reached the domains
Of Andromeda Gamma-the Woman in
Chains.
When, lifting his visor his face and his hair
Shone forth in the comet we thought was up
there.
With sigh at the distance he still had to 60
He gazed down at Terra's faint twinkle be-
low;
Then suddenly clapping his hand to his
pocket
A spy-glass he drew, and he wrenched off
the socket
And placing the instrument close to his eve
Gave Terra a thorough. all-over good spy;
Then swapping the glass to- and Just barely
keeping
His temper said he: Why those rascals are
peeping!''
He pulled down his mask ere pursuing his
route,
And twas just at that moment the comet
went out
He frightened his girths and sped on till, full
soon,
He was quietly perched on the rim of the
moon,
Whence he took observations, his sentiments
spoke,
And slipp'd out, now and then, a quaint, ole
fashioned joke.
Thus circling about in the moons brilliant
glory,
Old Santa himself tells the rest of the story.
ut is just as [ thought ana the peap Tom
are there;
| wonder what is it impels them to stare:
Whatever it is they dou't seem to devine-
I'm sure they'd be glad of this spyglass of
mine;
But no matter! I'll take TO the business in
hand,
And turn to my survey of this little land
The snow is quite plenty up North--so see
But the lands lying South are as bare as
can be;
And my sleigh would CRATE awfully down on
that earth,
And my RENDERS be pulling for all they
were worth.
