Las Pascuas de Navidad, como
casi todas las practicas del cristia-

los humanos.
Ell nacimiento de JESUS, ceiebrado

de Ia Noche Buena al dia de Reyes,

Pero POGO a POGO, y al igual de
otras muchas tradiciones, han lido

are mGdo TO carry the handkerchief in.

This season there are numerous styles in
brooches which arc set in alternate tur-
Quoise and diamonds and pearls. Why
could not pink coral, so universally becom-
ing, be used in the same manner!-Jewel-
er's Circular.

THE PgAcEMAKER.


Breed not quarrels.-Rabbi Jehudah.
Guard against quarrelsomeness.-C onfu.
cius.
Avoid quarrels. Settle disputes.-JOhn
A quarrel is quickly settled when de.
serted by one party. There is no battle un.
less there be two.-Seneca.
Make people happy, and there will not be
half the quarreling or tenth part of the
wickedness there is.-Mrs. L. NJ. Child.
He that blows the Goals in quarrels he
has nothing to do with has no right to com
plain If the sparks fly in his face.-Frank-
lin.
Whatever mitigates the woes or increases
the happiness of others is a just criticism
OF iniquity. One should not quarrel with
dog without n reason sufficient to vindi-
cate one through all the courts of morality.
