Good Gifts.

This season Of the year brings gifts to
most people. Few are so poor and fewer
still so destitute of love as to neglect
the Offering of some token of affection to
loved ones. Sometimes this matter of
making presents is overdone. Too often
the best gifts are not selected. More
frequently still the source of all good
gifts is almost or entirely forgotten.
The whole custom of making presents
during these holidays probably is an
outgrowth of Christianity. The magi
presented theft tokens to the infant
Jesus. But the greatest of all gifts was
the Christ. the gift of God.
In all our giving to others let as aim
to present something more than mate
rial things. Put somewhat of heart and
character into every present, that the re-
ceiver may be made the better. Above
all give yourself fully to Christ, that
you may become the purer and nobler.

circles as you have photographs; then

that is done, draw or have stamped va

fective and serviceable, but are, OF
course, susceptible to change. Holly for
the winter man, forgetmenots for he OF
whom we dream, blossoms for the pretty
man, violets for the sentimental man
and daisies for the summer man are
those most popular. however.
Embroider each wreath carefully and
exactly: then wind simulated ribbon in

work is purely technical, but requires
absolute neatness to insure success.
Press the linen carefully on the under
side; then stretch it over the cardboard,
taking great care that each circle falls
exactly over its opening. Pull it tight
and smooth and paste the edges to the
underside of the board. Cut each circle
ont. but be- sure to cut one-half inch
within the line. Slack the edges and
turn them under neatly; then paste them
firmly into place.

it cut slashes or openings to admit each
card. Paste it to the linen covered board
at all four sides and send to Trainer foi

SPOlLS OF VICTORY.
A Method Of Impartially Preserving
Them.


The latest novelty in frames owes its
existence to the summer girl. With nu.
merous conquests and numerous photo
graphs came the need of some compact
method of keeping them intact. With
characteristic impartiality, she felt the
necessity for showing no preference, and
out of her extremity evolved so success
full combination that the design has
been seized ON by all girls blessed with
numerous beaus. AS a simple contriv-
ance for classification and arrangement
it will be recognized at once. But it has
been limited that in clever hands 1t is
capable of becoming the instrument OF
diplomacy, and, with that end in view,
it admits of further study than at first
appears. How to aid the bashful and
discourage the presumptuous-how to SO
manage as to allow the frame to be seen
without apparent intent, and by its In
strumentality to hold out subtle encour-
agement-are, however, questions to be
produced and considered. Here, with
limited space, it is only possible TO
throw out the hint and to give direc-
tions for the practical part of the work.
To make the frame, simply procure an

Topic, The Ever Present Christ.

SCRIPTURE READING.-Math. xviii. 20: Acts
1. IL; Heb. xiii g.
The eternal worship of Christ is a
fruitful theme for thought, and one
which gives strongest hope to the Chris
tian heart The changeless purpose and
affection of the ever blessed God are
ground for ever increasing confidence
and hope to the believer. The parting
assurance of Christ that His presence
should abide with His people till the
end of the world age is the inspiration
of all holy living and heroic striving.
The expectation of His coming again in
glory is the basis of all patience in en-
durance and the spring of joy in suffer
ing. He remains changeless i'll love, and
His Spirit abides with His people and
in His church.

its nest in the fiat top of pine tree, but
formerly it just as frequently selected a

The best way to remove sand and grit
from small fruit, when washing is nee
ossary, is to lay the fruit loosely in ~
clean basket and dip the basket intol
fresh, clean water.
Currants dried at home for winter
use are much nicer than those that cam

sugar, and dry them in the sun or in ~

1t is said that if lamp wick is
soaked in vinegar "a hours before being
placed in the lamp clearer flame will
be insured. Wicks should be changed
often, as they soon become clogged and
do not permit the free passage of the
oil.
If a cloth is wet in vinegar and then
wrung out as dry as possible with the
hands and wrapped around cheese and
then the whole put in a large paper bag
and kept in cool place the cheese will
retain the moisture and freshness of
new-cut cheese, and will not mold.
The severe itching and smarting pro-
duced by being poisoned with ivy oaIc

the parts affected with n solution of
saleratus water-two teaspoonfuls to
pint of water-and then applying cloths
wet with extract of witch hazel.
If oil is spilled on a carpet immediate

will be absorbed. Oil that has soaked

ing thick piece of blotting paper over
it and pressing with n hot fiatiron; re-
peat the operation, using fresh pieco
of paper each time.
Often a defective cover will be found
among the fruit jars and cannot be
screwed down to make the jars tight.
Put little putty around between the
cover and rubber, and when the top Is
screwed down as tightly as possible
press the putty in around the crevice;
when the putty becomes hard the jar
will be found air tight.

he had just been relieved from the COM
