once a year we ought to get out of the
rut of drudgery and bargaining and COM
petition and make an honest effort to
behave as though the rest of mank nd
were not our rivals, but our brethren.
Our ability to do that when Christmas
comes is a convenient indication of the
course we have been taking for the
twelve months previous. If we have
fallen quite out of the habit of Christian
conduct we won't be able to assume it
successfully for one day or one week,
but if we can keep Christmas as we
should, and the Christmas impulses
alive and ready in us, then we are war
ranted in entertaining sentiments OF
modest hopefulness about our own spir-
itual state, and in trusting that when
our final account is made up the bal
ance may not be irreparably against us.

Stanton's Xmas Songs
WHEN CRAMER CAUGHT THE
'POSSUM.

The fields had lost their flowers, for the
frost was in the furrow,
And chilly fell the dewdrops where the
graveyard rabbits burrow;
But winter seemed a brighter time than
summer worlds in blossom
When thro' the dim swamps bayed the
dogs and Cramer caught the 'possum.
The Northern game had brought him
fame, and ducks in legion banded
Flew at the mention of his name and in
Kamschatka landed!
The deer in Pennsylvania downs with
secret terror shivered,
And when the sun cleaned on his gun
swan streams to be delivered.
But never had his eagle eye, in blizzard
or in BLOSSOM,
Beheld beneath a Georgia sky the fat
form of Il 'poSsum!
He longed to test that game-the best
that ever blessed a table,
Especially when trimmed and dressed
by chefs of Georgia sable.
And the wild longing in his breast one
wintry evening found him
Swamp-circled, ten degrees southwest,
with yelping dogs around him;
And torches, cleaning to the skies from
earth with mosses Uttered,
Showed where the 'possum's beady eyes
in the black darkness glittered.
He sat upon a cypress limb, but Cramer
did not fear him;
Quoth he: ''I'll climb and capture him,
so dogs viii never tear him!'
And up the tree right nimble he went
to the 'possum speeding,
No warnings of his sable guides for any
instant needing.
Then ON the lofty tree limbs bare of any
bud or blossom
Came sounds of music on the air from
Cramer and the 'possum!
And 'possum fur flew far and near like
many a wind-blown feather,
While downward in the darkness there
rolled both of them together!
'Tis certain it was winter-time, devoid
of any blossom,
When Cramer from that tree top high
fell on and killed the 'possum!
And now he's made his mind up plain
in order to contriye one
Other scheme-his dearest dream-tC
catch and hold live one.

That was an after-thouGht, prompted

A little warmth, a little light,
OF loves bestowing-

Tt is such a busy world, and most
people who keep their footing in it find
that so engrossIng task, that perhaps
we ought not to wonder that out of
sight is so prone to be out OF mind.
Christmas or not, those whom we have
Immediately about us will be in our
minds. If there is any warmth in us
they will feel it; if any light, it VIII
shine for them; but we are improvident
persons If we are content with that.
The thrifty householder who prayed
Heaven to look after "me and my wife
and my son John and his wife" was
altogether too restricted in his suppl
cations. We ought to let our warmth
md our light and our love overflow
freely at Christmas time. IT is the great
opportunity the year brings 7Is to en-
large the boundaries of our affections,
TO acknowledge ties of kinshiD, to recog
nize and revive old friendships, and to
check the strong prevailing tendency of
our time and country toward too strait
an indiyidualism, and too little concern
for every one outside of ourselves and
our own belongings. We are all mem
hers one Of another, but too few of us
realize it. That is partly because con-
ditions are for so many people in such
n constant state of change. Families
are transplantod. and all their Christmas
habits and traditions disturbed. New
neople surge in every where, especially
in the greater cities. Folks are eXcusable
if they are puzzled to know what their
particular Christmas chances and obli-
CATIONS are But the more change and
the more loosening of old ties, the more
need of forming new ones and preserv-
ing all that is possible of the old. To

the stories and pictures fabricated and
brought to market, all the toys invented
and made, all nlans of folks who are
responsible for Sunday schools and every
kind of charity to be perfected and put
in the way of accomplishment. Work!
An enormous labor, and the better part
of it done by women. 1t is not worth
SAYING that there wouldn't be any Christ
mas except for women for Of course with
out women there wouldn't be anything
in this world worth talking about ex-
cept the prospect of getting away. Still
woman's energy and the immense value
of her cooperation in making the wheels
of life revolve are never more con-
spicuous than in everything that per-
tains to Christmas. She makes pretty
much all the Christmas plans. makes
all the gifts except the inglorlous but
indispensable sort which are bought in
shops, invites all the company, cooks
most of the dinners, and by keeping
men busy carrying out her instructions
contrives to make even them imagine
that Christmas is partly their doing, and
that they have earned the satisfactions
that it yields to them. With enough wo-
men in ones family, it might even be
possible to have some sort of a Christ
mas without children. There would be
gifts exchanged and conscientious eff
fort to improve the occasion, whereas
it is hard to conceive of isolated men
attempting more of a celebration than
a little more dinner than usual and an
extra round of grog. That was the
nature of the observance Of Christmas
with Nansen on the Fran, and there
will doubtless be many such celebra-
tions this year on the J<londike.
So there is a huge amount of Christ
mas work. and women do most of it,
and it behooves men to take orders
cheerfully, to execute them willingly,
and both to work and to play direction
with as much zeal and earnestness, and
at the same time with as near an APP
proach to gayety, as possible. There
must be Christmas play. The children
will supply the bulk of that if they are
given fair chance, but their elders
should try not to leave it all to them.

The Return of Cashmere

For house gowns nothing is prettier
than cashmere, and after the lapse of
several years it has resumed all its old
prestige. 1t is the gown for the debutante
and the ingenue, and nothing has as yet
been found to equal its soft, clinging
tendencies, nuns yelling and crepon
both proving unsatisfactory when put
to the test. A very Frenchy and becom-
ing house gown, which demands good
complexion, Is Of pale violet cashmere
and made with plain skirt about four
and, half yards wide, over a separate
petticoat Of jonquil yellow silk. 1t is
made with n round, medium full bodice,
opening over a chemisette in front of
white mousseline de sole. Three little
frills Of silk the same shade trim the
'front.' and back of bodice, forming a sort
Of surplice and coming to a point in
front, finished with a bow and ends The
sleeve is tight, the sole trimming being
little frills at the top, which meets the
others, giving the necessary width to
make it becoming. The sleeve Is fin
ished with ruffle of mousseline de sole
falling over the hand. A sash Of violet
silk with a knot and long ends at the
side completes the costume. The same
color scheme is very elegant carried ont
In silk. for reception or visiting gown.

Professor Gushing has just made an

Florida, and discovered the remains of
villages and numerous relics of ancient

sepulture, they appear to be akin to the
ancient Mexican people.

which he had lost while rounding up
some horses half a dozen years ago. 1t
contained locks of the hair of his two
dead children.
