Channels Gifts.

A watch case made of yellow chamois
skin and trimmed with yellow lace and blue
ribbon is very pretty.
Make the case in the shape of shopping
bag with the lower edge pointed and a
pointed flap to fall over the opening. Put a
small.rod across the top and fasten the flap
over it letting 1t project each side for the
ribbon. A small pencil will do for the rod
Make monogram or initials on the front
of the bag and coral stitching around the
bag and flap, with the blue Asiatic outline
silk. Sew frill of yellow lace around the
bag and flap. Tie blue ribbon to the rod
making dainty bow at each end, and one
in the middle of the ribbon to hang 1t.
Watch pockets to pin inside the dress are
very convenient. They are cut a little
larger than the watch the two 81 es over
handed together with silk and small safety
pin sewed to one side of the opening.
A channels skin cut square and the edge
pinked has monogram worked in the cor
ner with white Asiatic embroidery silk.
This is dainty adjunct Of the toilet table.

At Christmas Time.
In lowly hut or castle hall
May each soul keep a festival.

May each soul keep festival.
At Christmas time!
The holidays will soon be here incredible
as it seems. while still we keep doors and
windows wide open, while still the flowers
are smiling on Us. along the garden walks and
the zephyrs signing in the tree tops as softly
as if it were September. The few bustery
days have reminded us, however, that No.
vember and December belong to winter,
even in the Southland. We, in the country
have constant reminder that it is not -
ways summer here, in the absence of the
beautiful orange groves that we knew not
how to appreciate until the frost king de-
manded them for his spoil and unceremo-
niously captured them.
Yet in comparison to the lands where the
north winds now rudelv blow where the
family sit around blazing fires, and the
children grow impatient for Christmas,
where the poor and needy shiver in the
storm and when outdoor labor has ceased
for months to come-how happily are we
situated who live in Florida? It seems that
we do not consider many things when we
growl and grumble. Scarcity of fuel does
not disturb US, lack of provisions, there is
none, albeit we must use plain food (Which
is always best for us), we are not troubled
by puttlrg" weather strips our windows,
and building storm-doors; we do not sigh
for seal skin sacks, and the latest styles in
muffs do not worry US. Almost every one
in the country has fuel enough on his own
land for years and years TO come, if not the
neighbors have and any one can haveplenty
for the hauling. The doctors have little to
do while in the north they are kept busy at
tending pneumonia and diptheria patients
Yet time is flying and in few weeks the
children will be stealthily watching for Santa
Claus and planning their holiday recreation
Let us make themshappy for these days at
least, that they and the older members of
the family as well, may take pleasure in
looking back upon them. s'Hard times" is
almost the only topic of the day. and if the
amount OF enjoyment was merely in pro-
portion to the money expended it might be
a gloomy time for the majority, for though
the comforts OF life are not denied us, we
all know there is very little cash in circula-
ton; perhaps what there is circulates in the
cities and towns, mostly.
Though no elaborate preparations need be
made, cheerful family circle will have a
delightful ime. A few inexpensive toys
and some home made candies (where there
are little ones) create fund of enjoyment
the very mixing and making and the hiding
away the canton flannel rabbits and kittens,
while the process mysterious is going on
makes fun for the elders.
There are excellent recipes for candies In
the cookbooks, they can be mace cheaply
and are more wholesome than those gener-
ally bought in the retail stores.

is THE sun FOR WHICH DIR.
COURTNEY Is SUED
the Doctor Was Careless in
TrentinG His Leg.

A. c. Mcintyre has filed a complaint
in an action in the district court to re-
cover from DR.. ". Courtney, physician
of the Northern Pacific Beneficial So
ciety, $4,000 for personal damages al
legged to have been sustained in con-
sequence Of the defendants careless
ness in attending the plaintiff during Il
period OF confinement in the assOcia
ton hospital at Brainerd in 1889.
Tie complaint alleges that the plain
tiff was an employee OF the Northern
Pacific at the Big Horn tunnel in Mon
tana in July, 1889, and one of his feet
was cut off by being run over by d
train. He was taken to the associa-
ton hospital in Billings, where he was
cared for until Aug. s, when he was
removed to Brainerd and placed in the
hospital there, where his leg was am
putated at a point about four inches
above the knee. DR.. Courtney placed
several drainage tubes in the stump of
his leg. he claims, which were removed
as the wound healed, but one remained
in after the flesh had healed over, and
was never discovered until last year.
The plaintiff claims that during the
time the tube remained in his leg it
caused him great suffering, and that
it was entirely due to the negligence
of the doctor that it was not removed
before the wound had healed.

The peasant war in Germany. An
