FAREWELL TO THE TREEl
Some Substitutes for the Christmas Fir
Are Here Suggested.

Are Here suggested.
The Christmas tree is to be supplanted
this year. The mothers of the land and
the aunts and the grown-up sisters have
said: GO, to, now: we Will devise some
thing new. For 10! these many years
have our rooms been Uttered with ever
green spikes; these many winters past
have our arms ached from tying impos-
sible cherubs at impossible heights; these
many Christmases has the fire depart
ment dreaded the union Of lighted can
dies and dry branches. We will have
something new"
Two things are certain about the no.
velty, whatever form II may take. 1t
will not seem so appropriate as the green
tree with its many legends. and it will
not delight the children so much as the
gayly-hung boughs. But it will be novel,
and that is what the mothers and aunts
and grown-up sisters want.
One rather attractive plan Is to fit up
a corner OF the room as a miniature
snow-field. a sheet is the best material
to stretch down. and it should have
tackled over II bits of raw cotton, with
here and there piece of tinsel to give
the effect of glittering snow. On this
should be placed big sleigh. Big
sleighs are not found in abundance in
every household, of course, but the
households which have no sleighs will
have TO depend upon the oldfashioned
Christmas tree. The children's gifts
should be packed in the sleigh, and some
one should be prepared TO act as Santa
Claus on Christmas morning, and dis
tribute the load of presents. The shafts
should be wound with ground pine, and
bells should be attached, so that the ira
ditional Santa Claus jingle will be heard.
An enormous hollow log-the yule log
in appearance, II not in reality-inay be
another receptacle for gifts. A papier-
mache log with adjustable top is the
most convenient log for this purpose.
When the top has been lifted and the
presents have been distributed, the make
believe log may be burned in regulation
style.

good, old-fashioned German style about

SNEEZlNC.'
The Ancients Thought 1t Supernatural
Hence tho Saying "God Bless You"

(London Daily NeWS.)
DR.. Scanes Spicer, reading a paper the
other day before the Chemists Assistants
Association on "Sneezing." told his hear
ers that the act of sneezlng has always
been regarded as supernatural, and by
many races was held In reverence. Hence
arose the custom, not even now altogether
obsolete, of making some remark directly
after sneezing. Sneezing was regarded as
O sign of impending death during the
plague of Athens. Many classical writer's
make especial reference to sneezing, and
some supposed that during sneezing devils
were expelled.
Sneezing itself Is reflex nervous ac-
ton. and is brought about by mechanical
irritation to the ends of the nerve fbres
which occur in the tissue OF the nose.
When this irritation occurs, whether II
be due to foreign body or change of
temperature affecting the tissue OF the
nose, a nerve impulse Is transmitted TO
the brain. and certain nerve centres in
the medulla oblongata are affected: this
results in certain impulses being trans
mitted along the nerves to the muscles
controlling respiration. BY this means the
egress of air during expiration is delayed
and the various exits are closed. When
the pressure. however. reaches a limit, the
exits are forced open, "a powerful blast
of air is expelled, and the patient
sneeZes"

difficulty Of arranging the snowdrift.

New Orleans has long been in-
posted with a band ef pirates who
prey upon her commerce. fnt
steamers have nearly all been driven
away from that port by the ex-
cessiAe changes, and now the men
who handle cotton on the lever are
in spite of depressed prices trying
to gouge the business for all it will
stand. The serewmen earn So and
81 a day, and only half work at that.
When cotton was worth 15c a
pound it could stand such charges
but it can not do it to day and
New Orleans will discover that
fact sooner or later.
