HANGING THE STOCKINGS.

Six little worsted stockings hanging all in a
row,
And / have patched two scarlet heels, and
darned a crimson toe.
Over the eyes OF azure, over the eyes
OF brown,
Seemed as though the eyelids could never
be coaxed down.
[ sang for a good long hour before they
were shut quite tight.
For tomorrow will be Christmas, and old
Nick comes tonight.
We laughed as we dropped the candles into
heel and toe,
For not one little stocking was missing
from the row.
But oh, the empty cradles-the tears that
pillows wet,
The voice of Rachael ~crying-my soul can
not forget;
For there is no child tonight In many a
house / know,
Where a little sock was hanging only a year
ago.
And when our work was ended, we stood a
little apart,
Silently praying the Father to soothe that
mothers heart,
Who looks on her unworn stockings amid
her falling tears,
Whose darling is keeping Christmas In
Christ's eternal years.

GENERAL GRANTS UNIFORM.
He Disliked to Change Coat That He
Found Comfortable.

General Horace Porter describes the adj
vance on Petersburg in one of his articles
in The Century ON Campaigning With
Grant" General Porter says concerning
Grants attitude toward dress:
The weather had become so warm that
the general and most of the staff had or
dered thin, dark blue flannel blouses TO be
sent TO them to take the place of the heavy
uniform coats which they had been wear
ing. The summer clothing had arrived,
and was now tried on. The generals
blouse, like the Others, was of plain ma.
terial single breasted, and had four regu-
lation brass buttons in front. 1t was sub
stantially the cont of "a private soldier, with
nothing to indicate the rank of an officer
except the three gold stars of a lieutenant
general on the shoulder straps He wore
at this time rundown white linen collar
and small, black butterfly" cravat.
which was hooked on to his front collar
button
The general, who he put on the blouse,
did not take the pains to see whether il flt.
ted him or TO notice how il looked, but
thought only of the comfort it afforded,
and said, We'll, this is relief, " and then
added: 81 have never taken as much
satisfaction as some people in making ire.

The general had also received a pair of
light, neatly fitting calfskin boots, to
which he seemed to take fancy. There.

place of his heavy top boots, putting on
the latter only when he rode out in wet

Curry the Farm Horses

Horses on the farm do not have the sleek
look that horses in the city liveries have.
Neither will they accomplish so much
work. The difference is partly owing to
the fact that the horse i'm the city has a
large proportion of grain, while the farm
horse, even while working, gets most of
his nutrition from hay. But grooming
has also great deal to do with the supe-
rior sickness of the city horses coat. The
currycomb is not so much used as it should
be on farm horses.
We know, says The Prince Edward Island
Agriculturist, many places where the brush
and currycomb are seldom used except
while the horse is shedding his coat. But
used at any time it promotes the secretion
OF oil, which moistens the coat and makes
1t shine. well groomed horse is usually
well fed. But if the grooming were thor
oughly done at least once day, the horse
would keep In good condition with less
food than 1t now receives.
Good grooming undoubtedly aids Giges.

WOMEN WORKERS.
Their Pay and Employments In Great
Britain.

Their Pay and EmpIoyments In Great
There were never so many women en-
gagged in money making as there are to-
day. Just what the effect of this condi-
tion is and what its results may be in
an economical sense it is not the present
purpose to state. Neither is it necessary
to express an opinion as to whether it
indicates an advance or recession in
the worlds progress that the woman of
the present must work. She is, how
ever, growing more self reliant and
competent, and she has better educa-
tional advantages than ever before She
has already rejected the old notion that
marriage is her only vocation, and is
going about her work rather more
cheerfully than men, if not with so
good preparation. OF the something
like $4,000, 600 women in the British
islands a very large proportion are en-
gagged in various employments, but they
do not get as good wages as are paid in
this country 1t is estimated that there
are 400 editors, authors and journalists
there. Five of them make $40, 900 a
year, but these are writers of fiction.
One woman journalist makes SO, 800
year, and there are quite number who
make from 81 900 to 81, 500 year with
their pens. OF the lady artists there are
not half dozen who make 81, 500 a
year. In the domain of learning the
highest reward known TO lie paid is
So, 900 a year. There are four positions
occupied by ladies at Oxford or Cam
bridge which pay this sum. Ordinary
school teachers make anywhere between
500 and 81, 900 year, the multitude
earning less than $500 per year. For
governesses the average pay is 500 a
year with board, and at present there
are about 1876, coo women engaged in
this occupation. The popular employ
ment for girls there as well as in the
United States is shorthand and type.

$4 and SO week. Almost every rail
way company in Great Britain now en-
ploys lady clerks, and the salaries range
from So 90 to $40 per week. There are
likewise good many female postal en-
ployees-far more than there are in this !!
country. The pay for this work is rarely |
over 81 per week. The number of wo.
men employed as shop hands is innumer-
able. They have, of course, monopolized
the millinery business, as they have in
this country, and the florists business
as they have not on this side of the wa.
