Ring. bells OF cheer. across the snow

Yet look not back. The darkest cloud
But serves an azure sky to shroud.

Love that could change was never love.
And folly 'twere lost wealth to mourn,

Thy loved one hath but crossed Times sea,
To its fair shore-Eternity.

CHRISTMAS GREENS,
Timely Suggestions for Home Decora-
tiOnA.

Timely Suggestions for Home Decora-
Every year Christmas green's become
dearer and the decorations possible for
those with limited purse become
more and more restricted. Perhaps,
after all, the simple sprays of holly
over our pictures, the cross over the
mantel ard the stars in the windows
are more artistic than the festOons of
laurel with which our rooms were hung
u few years ago. Florida moss inter-
twined with the green or alternating
with it in the draping of picture
frames makes pretty variation: and
for the nursery, links of colored parert
made into long chains may be used
with good effect. Now, too, is the
time to bring out your summer treas
ares OF ferns, your autumn leaves and
berries. 1t is too late for the hint to
be of much use to you, but remember
next year when you see knotty branch
OF tree covered with lichen that it
may come in we'll for decoration at
Christmas. The ends have been char
red to deaden the inartistic effect OF
white splinters. There is nothing
lovelier in the world than our Ameri-
can lichens, which botanists tells us
are of as slow growth as the much rev.
erenced and coveted ivy of Europe, and
this ancient product of our woods
would be far more appropriate in our
homes than the imported mistletoe,
which few people can honestly say they
think pretty.

be found among the sheets of decalco-
mamie pictures to be bought for a few
cents, or very likely among the pict-
ures and cards that most children save
for their picture scrapbooks. One Of
these must be gummed onto circular
OF cotton wadding, about two inches in
diameter. and fastened to the box in
such way that it projects about half
an inch above the top. A hood about
three inches deep, trimmed with cotton
wadding,. will hide all the back of the
head, and can then be tied in front
with bow of narrow white ribbon.
Strips of wadding form the cuffs. The
hands should be painted. In one of
them might be placed small spray of
fir or artificial holly.

Now to make him: Take one of the
long boxes in which matches come (6f
inches long by II wide is a good size ],
and cover IT tightly with scarlet fan
mel or silk, leaving one end uncovered,
80 that the box will open. The flannel
or silk should be cut about II inches
longer than the box, joined up the
front and turned over neatly at the
top. A strip of cotton wadding three
quarters OF an inch wide should he
stitched round the bottom of the box,
also up the front, hiding the join.
cardboard arms must now he added.
These are sewn into the sleeves and
fastened securely to the sides of the
box little over an inch from the
top.

be little shyness and stiffness about
the guests, who are not quite sure that

and ghastly; it is great fun to snatch
the raisins away from the fiery dragon,
and many young folks are very expert
at it, too.
I've been to Paris" is very Jolly
game; try it. The players sit in ring
and the head one says: 1--we been to
Paris" The next one answers: what
did you buy there?" Perhaps the an
swer is "a fan, and the head one goes
through the motions of tanning him
self. The one who has asked the cues
ton now turns to his neighbour saying:
I've been to Paris" The neighbor
then asks what he has bought. Rec .iv-
ing the answer he begins to fan him
self, and SO it goes around the circle.
Beginning again at the head, perhaps
the answer is "A rocking chair" then
in addition to the tanning a rocking
motion must be kept up. An ingenious
person can devise many good ideas.
and 1t becomes irresistibly funny to see
the whole circle trying to 60 through
so many motions at once.
A party OF bright young people may
have great deal of fun out of missing
lines" One will make line Of poetry,
such as:
The sun sank low behind the hill
The next player must add line to
rhyme with it: if it is on an entirely diff
ferent subject, such as, 81 took ano sher
quinine pill" Or Il hate little bird to
Kill, SO much the better. And each
player must repeat all the lines pre-
viously given, then add his own.
Charadei and proverbs are always
entertaining, as are gossip" and the
ever-pOpulsr spelling match.
A newer diversion consists in the
hostess handing each guest, on arriv-
ing. pencil and paper and requesting
him to draw cat" The pictures are
then pinned up on the wall or curt ain
for inspection: a vote is taken, and the
funniest picture takes a prize, which
should be anything from a live cat to
an imitation of one.

DANGER IN puNeENr DOORS.
Smelling Salts Injurious to the Olfactory

smelling Salts Injurious to the Olfactory
Nerves and a Cause Of Deafness.
Every one does not know that aro-
matte salts and very strong, pungent
odors are injurious to the nerves of
smell and often produce serious if not
incurable difficulties. 1t is well under
stood, says writer in the Philadel-
phia Times, that certain scents start
the action of the secretory glands of
the nose and throat, and often the eyes
fill up with tears. Frequent indul-
gence in the use of such perfumes will
soon overtaslS the seeretory organs
and weaken them. Some day the per-
son observes that the hearing is less
acute than usual and the sense of
smell seems defective. This is of
course accredited to a cold or some
similar cause and but little is thought
of it. After time the entire head be-
comes affected, hearing and smell are
almost if not entirely lacking, and
there are throat and lung complica-
lions which are likely to end in chronic,
If not fatal, illness. 1t has taken the
medical world great many years to
discover that loss of hearing is almost
invariably caused by some disease of
the throat or nose, or both. But very
recent researches in these fields have
demonstrated this fact beyond ques-
ton, and it is now admitted by the
most advanced medical men that, aside
from rupture of the ear drum, there is
scarcely symptom of defective hear
ing which is not traceable directly to
the condition of the nose and throat.
In view of the new discoveries ear spe-
cialists are finding their occupations
gone, save as they make their particu-
lar branch an assistant in further in
vestigation. 1t is said that the use of
smelling salts is one of the most pro-
life causes of deafness, operating by
weakening the olfactory nerves, and
through them the auditory system.
All strorg or pungent odors should be
avoided as far as possible, especially
those which act upon the secretory
processes, and, as the popular express
sion goes, make the nose run"
