his cloak lay on the Acor. So it sp-
peared to her, he had been able to do
his duty.
"Thsnk Heaven !" exclaimed the poor,
anxious wife, and turned to the window
where the little tree stoOd. Jack was
sitting motionlcss beside the tree. Car
rylng the gingerbread heart In her hand,
she moved noiselessly, with her basket
of nuts and apples, behind the child's
chair.
But what was thati In through the
window the moon was shining so bright.
ly that the tree glittered like silver, aud
so did the sleeping boys curly locks.
The mother passed her hand over the
child's hair, aud silver coins fell clink-
ing on the floor.
"Silver" she cried In amaz ,ment.
She could scarcely believe her senses.
She again fastened her eyes on the metal,
again touched it with her hand. Both
sight and touch could not deceive her,
but still it was all so strange. Again
she cried

Jack sprang u?, looked around him
for moment with a startled expression,
and then began to dance joyfully up and
down.
"Yes, yes, its all mine; every bit OF
it See, mother, see!"
His mother lighted lamp. This woke
her husband, who ieaped from the bed,
exclaiming:
"Why, the train has passed Were
you there, wifef"
She turned deadly pale.

"But | was there" said Jack.
"When papa wouldn't wake up took
his cloak aud the flag and stood there.
Nobody knew me, but the Christ Child
flung me pile of money from the sky
shining new money"
The father, still weak from the fevev
sank with trembling knees into the near.
est chair.
"Did you really 90 theral" he askel.
"Of course | did," Jack answered.
"You need not worry, papa"
"What a boy he isl" sobbed the wife.
Ills mother examined it, aud found

take good care of yourself, and give my
love to the Christ Child, if you meet
Himih
Then Jack went back to his little tree,
gazing fondly at it, and sometimes
clapping his hands as he imagined how
it would look with apples aud nuts hang
ing from all the branches. His mother
could not possibly return before six
o'clock, aud it was just striking four (;
nevertheless, Jack kept running out to
look for her, coming back into the room
with his fair hair covered with snow
fakes. Then he posted himself before
the big red apd-yellow clock, and
watched the pendulum, whose "tick-
took" told the tale Of life that had
been spent among dust and spiders.
AT last-there was no mistake-the
hands pointed to the hour his mother
had charged him to remember, and Jack
went to his sleeping father aud shook
him violently by the shoulder.
Papa" he screamed into his ear,
"the train"
The man lay in a heavy sleep. A pro-
fuse perspiration had followed the drink
OF tcs, ard he seemed to be dreaming: ::
for, when the boy bent over him, he
struck at him. But Jack was not dis.
couraged. He knew the danger if his
father should neglect his duty. Bring
ing the flag, he tried to press it into his
fathers hand, then dragged the heavy
cloak to the bed, shrieked into the
sleeper's ears, pulled and pounded him
but all in vain.
The whistle was heard in the lis.
tance.
"Oh!" screamed the boy, 'the train

quick oh, papal hear me!'
"Yes, yes" muttered the man, 'I'll
go presentlyI' aud turned his face to-
ward the wall again.
"Then must CO." said the little fel-
low. Somebody must be there"
Hurredly snstching his fathers long,
heavy cloak, he drew the hood over his
head, seized the tiig, aud reached his
post just in time. A few seconds later,

TIE HoT-wATER BAG.

Once you become the possessor Of a
hot-water bag you will wonder how you
ever managed to exist without 1t. 1t Is
neat and tidy, cosy and comfortable,
which is more than can be said of the
hot water cloths, for no matter how care
full the management, these soothing
agencies can hardly be wrung dry
enough to prevent wettlng the clothing,
and they retain the heat for very short
time.
Persons suffering from weak circula.
ton find them a supreme comfort. They
are far ahead of the old-time soapstone.
Toe miseries of cold drive may be NIT
igated by simply placing this rubber bag
of hot water at the feet. A pleasant
warmth is diffused throughout the body
and circulation is kept active.
Invalids find them an excee iingly
agreeable method or assuagins pain.
They may be tucked into all sorts of
out the. way corners. They are also
of great service in cases OF fever If tilIei
with crushed ice or very cold water.
The genuine ice bag comes however, iu
thinner and more delicate rubber. -

II there is one pursuit that lorms a link
between human beings of different sta

that occupation, for whether it be the

woman, it appeals to 50 fun iamcntal a
taste that it makes common ground
upon which all can NEE! with interest

Dear as Christmas is to US aud to all
the civilize world, to the Germans it is
dearer still, for to them it means not
day but season Of rejoicing, not an oc-
casional tree and single distribution of
gifts, but a series OF trees aud an inter-
change of gifts that extends from the
highest to the lowest, from the Empress
to the poorest in the land.
The German Christmas is no formal
feast, but a complete abandonment of
old and young, very chiidren's time,
when the elders take only second place.
Trees are everywhere in the homes, in
the asylums for the poor, in the hospitals
for the sick, and in every plaza where
lives heart to be made glad or a child
to rejoice. The tree, which is before
all else important to the German Eve, is
dressed with tinsel aud deckei with
fancy cakes, but never child is allowed
glimpse till on Christmas Eve the
Chrstkind comes. Tnen the tapers are
lighted, the gifts are arranged and the
merry making begins. In the homes of
the wealthy and the wellto do, the gifts
are spread upon tables, hung upon the
walls aud even suspended from the pic
ture- mails. But where the tree is small
aud the gifts are few, the spirit is ever
the same.
The work for the merry season goes
on for months before, and throughout
the land there is a prevailing sense of
something to come. Sensible gifts are
quite in vogue, and the boy whose
soul is hungry for cap like those his
fellows wear may be sure Of the some
thing the tree will hold for him. The
girl who longs for the gown of silk,
which before confirmation she never
wears, will likely feel thrill of pride
when the secrets of the tree are known.
The season OF Christmas extends till
the eve of the New Year, and in some
cases to the Epiphany or Twelfth Night,
and is a continual round Of festivals and
feasts. In families which consist o
several branches two trees, of which eact
separate household has its own, are
lighted on each successive night, and
each is the occasion of family gather.
ing as well as a fresh excuse for the CIV
ing of gifts. Luckily the gifts are less
extravagaut than they are won't to be
, with us, and aside from some special
wish or wishes which it is pleasure Il
fulfill, they consist Of cakes, toys auc
: tri6es OF many sorts.
The children who are laden with toyi
make merry for the ensuing week, but

on New Years Eve tbs candles are
lighted for the last time and are per.
mitted to burn themselves away, only a
few of the toys are left for common use.
The best are carefully laid away aud
come forth again to honor birthday,
Easter and the Christmas to come.
Selfshness has nothing to do with
German Christmastide, aud besides the
family gathering there is always the
thought for the poor. Feasts are spread
and amusements arranged in each sep
arate neighborhood by the wealthy oc.
cupants thereof. Aud, in order that
the message of goodwill shall come be-
times to the weary and the heavy laden,
these charitable festivals, in which the
tree is ever included, take place on the
day preceding Christmas Eve.

AN IDEA FOR BREAKFAST.

Apple crusts are excellent for break
fast or for simple desert. Cut the crust
from small slices of bread of medium
thickness, spread them with butter aud
sprinkle them with sugar and a little
spice of some kind. Pare tart apples,
cut them in pieces the size of the bread
squares and scatter with sugar and q
trlhe of spice. Bake in the oven until
the apple is cooked, and serve hot.
Other fruits that are quickly cooked or
preserves may be used in the same way,
emitting the spice. II peaches or a
fruit jam are used, hot sauce, whipped
cream or meringue, added to the crusts
after they are taken from the oven, will
change this simple into quite an elegant
sweet dish. The apple crusts are spe-
cially nice for children's desserts. New

Tnc Emperor of Germany has Just
placed upon the wall Of his study large
photograph of which he is very proud.

former is Private Pritzchau, OF the First
Regiment of the Prusslan Guard. de

take his waist measure. His breadth is
in proper proportion to his height. The

books of fables, and by his side soldier

the train rushed past the queer little
figure. The snow.Hakes powdered
Jacks cloak thickly as he solemnly pre-
sented his flag, and his rosy face was
bewitching, peering out of the snow
nccked hood-a stray Christ Child on
the lonely hillside.
Perhaps he was mistaken for one by
the young girl gazing out of the open
window of a car into the quiet Christ
mas night, for she suddenly waved her
hand, aud the next moment something
flew from the train and fell at Jack

"Therel Now I'll dress the little

And he began to lay the silver pieces

But whenever she wrapped her shawl
around her and let the boy drag her TO
the door, sudden fear came over her
mind. and she went back to her hus-
band.
At last little Jack began to cry bitter
ly. To have nothing but bare tree
on Christmas Eve seemed to him the
sorest grief in the world. His mother
started up.
"Husband." she said, "lll be back

SOAP TO wHITEN THE HANDS.

To make soap that will whiten the
hands, as no other soap will cut two
pounds Of white bar soap into thin
shavings and put them into a tin pail,
with barely hot water enough to cover
them. Place the pail in kettle Of
boiling water, aud when its contents are
melted stir thoroughly aud add quar-
ter of a pound of almond oil aud quar-
ter Of pound of powdered borax. Mix
all together by stirring well for ten MD
utes. Add a few drops of oil of cinna-
mon or bersamot. Mix well aud turn
the soap into deep dish to cool. Be-
fore it is quite cold take take up in the
hand and roll it in fine white sand and
corn meal, equal quantities of each, aud
roll into balls. The older it becomes the
finer it is to use.-Detroit Free Press.
