ECONOMY IN CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
One Cute Trick which the Zig Jeweiry
Houses Have stopped.

At Christmas time for a season or two
past the best-known jewelry establish
ments have been much annoyed by a
crafty device OF persons who desired 20
cost. These shrewd individuals who de-
sired to put up a lavishly generous
front bought Christmas gifts for their
friends at small. obscure shops. where
the wares are cheaper by so per cent.
than at more pretentious places, n
then inclosed them in boxes obtained
from the high-priced establishments.
The demand for boxes In these shops
become so great that the proprietors In
self-defense had 10 refuse to sell their
cases without their wares. So IL comes
that the leading shops will put up in
conspicuous places the announcement:
mo boxes sold here"
But there are places In town where IL
one simply wants a box OF intrinsic
beauty. regardless OF the prestige of a
name. he can buy the most dainty or
elaborate of boxes, and the trade Is al
ready brisk in these. Time was when
gifts could be sent In manila paper or
any sort OF a secondhand cardboard
box tied up with ordinary Irvine, but
now the wrappings are OF as much Inn
p~ortance as the article for which they
are provided. Thus the fancy box busi-
ness has been evolved and thrives espe-
Clally at TINS TIM OF the year. Christ
mas gift boxes OF the simpler sort are
square. oblong or circular. The more
complex are In the form of hearts. PAN
sizes or other flowers. The materials of
which they are made vary from tissue
paper to highly polished wood with sill
yer trim. silk and satin are favorite
coverings for gift boxes. as they can
be procured In so many tints n shades
and can be trimmed in a thousand
dainty ways with lace or ribbon or deco
rated with paintings or lettering. One
OF the novelties In his seasons Christ
mas gift boxes has a space in the top
for the insertion OF the photograph Of
the sender. This obviates the necessity
of inclosing a ard. OF course. such
boxes must be wrapped I'm the finest It's
sue paper that can be found and tied
with ribbon or silk cord.
One large establishment refused to
sell boxes last year.. but a regular
patron thought she had figured a way to
get around the prohibition by sending
one OF her ornaments 10 the big estab-
lishment for slight repairs. In this way
she got. at little expense. a box with
the coveted name on IL, and inclosed in
u her gift to her friend. but failed to
notice that a small label had been past
ed on the inside of the cover with the
words. From the repair department"
The recipient of the gift read this. how
ever. and knew that her gift had not
come from Blanks Nowadays the for
mer friends do not speak as they pass
by. the recipient Of the gift having
taken means to let the sender know
about the little label

else. I want a man to give
money for missions I place the matter IN
q plain matter Of fact business light.
For instance. we know that missions
have been the direct means OF opening
many a closed land to the Christian ma
tons. But for the daring and earnest
ness amid periis of the missionaries
many a city which now loo a big trade
with our land would still be closed TO
the world. Diplomacy OF force has
done less In this matter han missionary
work This fact can be illustrated n
used to induce men TO invest in mis-
sions for material good. II not for spir-
itual. You see. II Is n plain business
matter. To US engaged in the propaga-
ton of the gospel IL is a solemn duty.
but we are able to show to unbelievers
the advantage OF supporting US in the
work.
Methods are much the same in this
as In any other field OF human under-
taking. First. of course. is the desire
of success. This must be followed by
unccasing and intelligent effort in a
direct line pointing at success all the
time Then marshal facts for use In
argument r promotion TO interest
others and the thing IL bound TO win.
Faltering by the way in missionary
work would be followed by failure as
certainly as IL would in a mercantile
pursuit. When a man wants anything
very badly he asks for ". II he asks
hard enough and sticks to his work
long enough be is bound to get II some
day. That is about all there IL to the
subject of raising money for any pur-
pose"
In one of his addresses. DIR. Simpson
dwelt much upon the recent trend of
events toward the capitalization Of the
Anglo-Saxon nations. He spoke of the
African situation tho overthrow OF
Spain and the opening of the recent
dependencies of this nation to other
missions. The address was virile. as
are all DIR. Simpson delivers. From the
standpoint Of the alliance the argu-
ments advanced were OF ~undoubted
force. He spoke of the battle Of ON
durham as the hand of God shifting the
Mohammedans through the agency OF
Great Britain. He devoted consider
able time to the Spanish war and the
ultimate good to the world and Christ
ianity which. in his belief. is certainly
destined to follow.
In another address his theme was
why Christian people should give OF
their means to the missionary cause.
He spoke of the work already done I'm
strange lands and the needs of the
workers for more generous support.
He quoted the new testament as au-
thority for the charge laid on Christ
ians to go into these lands and strive to
win the peoples to the religion Of
Christ. He speaks without notes. his
delivery is strong and his words sim
pie and well chosen. He Is a master OF
gesturing and enforces a point with
arm, hand or pointed finger. He has a
nervous impetuosity OF manner. walks
about on the rostrum n great deal and
strikes at his audience from all sides.
No nook or Granny In the hall Ii omit
ted in his ~dlscourses. for he seemingly
pays personal attention to each one
before him. To this searching out OF
individuals Is due. doubtless. in great
measure. his power in persuading men
TO yield their money for the advance
ment OF the cause.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

BEAUTY IN THE EYEBROW.
Art May he Employed to Overcom
Natural Natures Deficiency.

Among stage people II is well known
that even a naturally homely face may
be wonderfully improved by judicious
manipulation Of the eyebrows. This is
not a matter Of general knowledge
among women. who. beyond an occa-
sional smoothing with her finger, leaves
uncared for one OF the most effective
features Of her facial toilet. Nature
generally endows n with just about
the right eyebrow to harmonic with
the features. but occasionally this is
not the case. A little j%udicious care is
all that is necessary to overcome any
such deficiency, the result being a vast
Improvement In facial expression. M
eyebrow should extend slightly beyond
the orifce or the eye at either end,
should terminate In a mere line toward
the temple and be slightly broader to-
ward the nose. Upon the breadth the
arch and the shade depend much Deli
cate features should not be preponder-
ated by broad brows. while those which
are large and strong i'm character need
the holder brush to accentuate their
force. The brow Is always to be care
fully smooth, glossy and orderly.
Society women are beginning to real
lie the truth of all this. One such called
upon a dermatologist not long ago TO
have her face treated for real or imag-
mary blemishes. The artist carefully
examined ner SKIN, prescribed certain
treatment and wound up by informing
his visitor that her features could be
much improved by props attention to
the eyebrows. The surprise with which
his statement was received vas nothing
new to him. Selecting a stiff little
brush from among his numerous para
phernalia, he brushed the hair of both
eyebrows straight up toward the fore
head. then carefully brushed them down
from above. This left an extremely deli
cate shading. every hair clearly defined
and distinctly separate and a clear dark
line along the center. He shaped the
inner line toward the nose with a cau-
tious touch of the brush. saw that the
work was complete and then handed his
visitor a small mirror. Madam at once
saw the Improvement.
The dermatologist then gave his
patron some advice as follows: Never
pull the hair out. ever II IL grows too
close over the brows. Careful brush-
ing will in time shape IL nicely. and 10
certain features close brows are a de-
cided necessity. IL o will take the
time some day to comb you brows IN
various shadings you will soon discover
which style-whether hig or low arch,
rather fiat or fine and delicate styles
most becoming. and. once learned. ad-
here strictly to IL. The hair will. of its
own accord, finally shape itself In that
direction"

Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE opening trades
In wheat showed slight changes either
way from yesterdays closing prices May
starting a shade lower and December NC
higher. The market at once developed
considerable firmness. The general de-
mand for December. coupled with the
strength shown by Liverpool and yester-
days large export business. alarmed the
shorts and for half an hour or more the
market was very active.
London reported more inquiry for on
coast and passage cargoes, which had
Its effect on the strained local situation.
Some reaction then followed. The advance
brought out considerable wheat. showing
good profits. IL was all quickly taken.
but prices dropped to &C for May and
SIC for December. During the middle of
the session the market was quite ner-
vous and prices moved up and down
rapidly. December shorts were evidently
very ~apprehensive of trouble IN account
of the comparatively small stocks and
the freedom with which wheat is going
out of this country. and that option be-
came so pronouncedly bullish hat May
caught some of the same spirit. In the
last As minutes of trading the market ex-
perienced a decided reversal. Outside
markets as a rule failed to respond to
the advance here. Realizing also became
very heavy. more wheat being offered
than the market could readily absorb
and prices In consequence dropped rap
idly. The market was quite weak toward
the close. December closed at 6slsQ66Nc
and May at 657sc.
Corn was very active and strong, but
did not maintain the best prices. The cash
demand was good. both here and at the
.seaboard. Buying was quite heavy until
late I'm the session, but the closing weak
ness of wheat affected prices somewhat.
May closed hakc higher.
Oats were firm and higher and quite a
good general trade was done. Outsiders
were in the market in increased number.
The cash demand was again excellent.
Shorts were large buyers. Toward the
close the market weakened materially

there are certain things which the spi-

expect men to carry your products n
