AssembIy's Snnday-schoo1 Enjoyed visit
from Kris Kringle.
The boys and girls Of the Assemblys Pres
byterian Sunday-school had their Christmas
entertainment in the Sunday-school room.of'
that church last evening. II the early part
of the evening there was a series of comic
stereopticon views, and then there were two
Santa Claus scenes.
The first of these represented the preparp-
tions for Kris Kringle visit. There was the
father and mother and three children in a
large, old fashioned sitting-room, the chill
dreh hanging their stockipgs:and the parents
talking of Christmas. Then the scene
changed. and Santa Claus, in the person of
Mr.. William /. Campbell, descended the
chimney and proceeded to fiji the stockings.
AS he was thus engaged girl quietly
entered the room, and withsa exclamation
OF triumph climbed upon his back. Then
the two sang a Christmas song and the enter
tainment closed. The parts were all we'll
taken, the dramatis perssnR being as fol-
lows: Father, Mr.. J. William Beatty; mother,
Miss Nettie Began; children. Misses Sarah
Morrison and Elsie Worth, md Master Rheesa
Griffin.
The committee of arrangements, Misses
Ella Davis. Blanche Campbell. and Stella
Tucker. was ably assisted by Mr.. Louis 9.
Maltby. Following the usual custom the
Sunday-school children contributed provisions

Use and Abuse of Toothpicks.

The toothpiek, iudiciously used, is of un-
doubted value OF the materials used as
toothpieks the best is the quill. with the sharp
point removed, but with this, as with all other
forms, care must be observed By indiserim-
mate application the gums may be so irritated
and injured as to cause recession, and thus
increase the existing trouble, or Inflammation
ofthe tooth membrane may be caused. most
annoying condition. and one in which the
still more vigorous use of the too5hpick gives
temporary relief, only in reality TO add fuel
to the fire. Metal tOothpieks are good be-

between teeth at all close together. Wood

CHEMISTRY AND COOKING.

Prof. Richards Considers Cooking as
Science as Well as an Art.
Prof Ellen H. Richards, distinguished au-
thor and chemist. although she has passed
the half-century mark, bears her age well and
would pass anywhere as under thirty-five She
was born at Dunstable, Mass, and was grad
uated from Yassar in 1870 and from the Mas
sacnusetts Institute of Technology in 1873.
She continued her professional studies. and
in 1873 was elected instructor in chemistry
and metallurgy. She still holds that position,
and is also favorite lecturer in other lead
ing colleges. She has written four books on
the chemistry of food. sanitation, and min
erals. all OF which are regarded as authorita-
tive. She is the foremost woman chemist of
this country. if not of the world. While she
belongs to the so-calIed Atkinson school, she
' is original and more idealIstic than that ia
nous Boston reformer
Her favorite occ patton is to teach women
not only how to cook well, but also to cook
scientifically. claiming that the truly great
chef must possess fair knowledge of prac-
tieal chemistry. In the furtherance of her
purpose she has devoted time and the hard
est work to the raw materials of food to
STYLES and schools Of cooking. to the medici-
nal and mechanical value OF dishes and SIM
liar topics. Many Of her suggestions have
been adopted by Mrs. Harland, Miss Parloa
and Miss Bedford. as well as by the officers of
many State institutions.
Another of her theories is that foods are to
be prepared with special reference to their
uses. the brainworker requiring something
different from that of the manual laborer,
and the farmer in the granite country from
his colleague in fertile meadow lands. She
has even prepared tables to comply with
these opinions. 1t is barely possible Prof.
Richards will lecture in New York this sea-
son, in which case rare treat is offered to
those who love science in its application to
the household and to daily life.

SHE CAN RUN A LOCOMOTIVE.
A Society Woman Possesses This Unique
Accomplishment.

A Society Woman Possesses This Unique
Accomplishment.
Mrs. Alfred Bishop Mason enjoys the proud
distinction of being the only society woman
in the United States who can take out q
locomotive. She doesn't do it very often, for
her husband is vice president of Southern
railroad line and doesn't care TO have his wife
compete with his employees, but the knowl-
edge that she has this remarkable accom-
plishment is great delight to her.
From her girlhood Mrs Mason has been in
terested in machinery, and it was among her
youthful ambitions to be able to run loco
motive. She began by gaining the engineers
permission to sit in his cab, not doing any
thing but familiarizing herself with the swing
and the work required for its movements.
When she was able to sir with her face toward
tbe wind peerlng out into the darkness that
rushed by and half blinded by the glare from
the great fires when the furnace doors swung
open. she felt that she was attaining the sum-
nit Of earthly greatness.
Her next lesson was learned at the whistle.
Then came the bell cord. and soon these two
functions were left entirely in her hands.
As a train drew up to station in Florida,
where Mrs. Mason was waiting, the engineer
and fireman Immediately made room for her.
She knew every one by name on the different
locomotives, and they all knew her. Proud
was the engineer when his cab contained the
wife of the vice president.
In time she mastered the more difficult
tasks. those that required nerve and skill,
and she could take an engine from the At
lantic to the Gulf OF Mexico as well as an
old engineer; and these latter were very
proud OF her. One of the Oldest men on the
road remarked to her once: Whenever your
husband gets out of job, Mrs. Mason, just
come down here and We'll put you up in the
union'h

THE SNOW BLANKET.
Why 1t Is SO Valuable in Protecting the
Fields from Cold.

Why 1t Is SO Valuable in Protecting the
Fields from Cold.
The value of amantle of snow in protecting
vegetation in the fields in winter is fully
understood in farming districts, and the
cause of the protective effect of the snow is
an interesting subject OF scientific inquiry.
In Germany, where. as the Youths Com
panion says, no such subject is ever allowed
to escape investigation, DR.. Abes has recently
made some important observations on the
thermal properties of snow. He has found
that the looser the snow the greater its power
to protect the ground beneath from the effects
of external changes OF temperature.
Snow generally offers about four times as
much resistance to such changes as a sheet of
ice of the same thickness offers. When snow
becomes closely packed, therefore, it is less
effective a. protection 10 plant life than
when it lies loosely upon the surface.
Other experiments show that while a blanket
of snow protects the ground beneath from the
chilling effects OF the winter atmosphere, yet
the surface of the snow itself, especially in
clear weather, is colder than the air, SO that
snow tends to lower the temperature of the
atmosphere, and where broad areas OF coun-
try or extensive mountain slopes are covered
by it, important climatic conditions may be
produced by the influence of the snow.

MIsTLEToE is ENGLISH
And the More Berries 1t Has, the More
Money 1t Costs.

And the More Berries 1t Has, the More
Money 1t Costs
"The importation of mistletoe was never so
great as it has been, this year, said a South
Jersey nurseryman to a Mai and Express re-
porter, while conversing on the subject of
Christmas and its belongings. 1.-The custom
OF decoration by green plants and flowers in
all sorts of festivals is as old as history, but
the evergreen and mistletoe have always been
associated particularly with Christmas.
Mlstletoe was regarded AS the golden bough'
of the Internal regions, and was use by the
ancient Druids as charm against evil
spirits. The ancients even aScriDed certain
wonderful medical properties to the plant,
and many regard it to this day as a positive
remedy for epilepsy, but it has no such value.
.'All the mistletoe used in the United States
comes from England. where it is found (con-
trary to the common belief twined around all
kinds OF trees except the oak In the south
OF England mistletoe is very plentiful, and
although parasite, 1t is difficult to cultivate
1t gets its nourishment from the living tree
on which 1t grows, which may account for
the failure to raise 1t in this country. The
berries are white, and Americans are just be-
ginning to understand that that branch Of
mistletoe is worth the most that has the most
berries on it, The reason Tor this is that the
maiden who is kissed under the mistletoe green
plucks berry for each kiss given, and the
number OF kisses depends on the numter OF
berries.
'.The business of furnishing the plant to
people on this side of the Atlantic is in the
hands OF one firm In London. which supplies
exporters by the bale. These cafes weigh
from 800 to 900 pounds. Before shipping
mistletoe to America, however, the bales are
broken up into Grated cubes to protect the
berry, which cubes are in turn divided into
sprays, in which condition it is sold 10 con-
sumers at from 20 cents to - n spray.
The imports of mistletoe this year will not
fall far short of310,010 in value, and sprays
will be found in general use for home decora-
Iions"
