while Penryn leaned against the tree TO
which they had bound him, half faint
ing from loss of blood and the pain Of
the gashes on his face. He. remembered
with bitterness how the ColonePs
daughter had turned her back upon him
when he accused Perriot of 'junring
his brand" The girl was evidently in
love with the Frenchman. and in his
despair the young ranchman did not
much care what these des9eradoes aid
with him.
Suddenly his enemeis ran Tor their
horses and climbed, helter-skeiter, into
their saddles, Penryn, with his head
hanging upon his breast, paid slight at

he wondered. vaguely, if more of Per-

Howard at their head. He cried aloud
to him, and then hung limp upon his

He came to himself again in a mo-

over some of the real stuff which the
foreman had forced between his lips.

Reckon not. You'd better go home.

'All right. I'll go home" said Penryn,
but he started his horse on a canter in
an entirely different direction.
Jase frightened his saddle girth before
he remounted, chuckling the while,

the Dahlgreen place, and almost uncon-

believed that his rival was making rap

daughter because he had more time to
spend in her company. Jase Howard
was not the only one who had seen
him riding with Miss Dahlgreen. Pen

The easiest way to manage the tea
table for an afternoon "at home" is
to have the tea made in fairly large
china teapot, putting the tea-leaves in
bags that may be removed at the prop
er time. This pot of tea may be made
as strong as is consistent with good
flavor and hygienic brew, and on the
tea-table should be an urn of hot wat
er kept at the boiling point by an al
cohol lamp, this to be used for diluting
purposes for such as prefer the bever
age weak. The tea-balls are dainty
and pretty, but their constant use inter-
feres with the reception duties of the
hostess. In large establishments,
where plenty of maids are at hand,
there may be a fresh brew for each call
er and for each cup, but the method
suggested secures the greatest economy
of time and service.

The question of allowances for the
youth of the family seems to present
itself in various aspects to mothers.
One woman, whose ideas on the bring
ing up of children have resulted sue
cessfully does not approve of allow
ances. My children she says, after
they are fourteen or fifteen are al
ways kept supplied with a quarter;
this in case of emergency. The rest
of their wants are provided for as they
have been during childhood" Other
mothers have found the allowance idea
an excellent one. Fifty cents a week
given to Il young girl, out of which to
provide certain small necessities and
be equal to emergencies brought about
by her own carelessness and want of
forethOught, is a system which has
proved its efficacy. If a girl needs
carfare every day for school. a dollar
a week seems reasonable, and out Of
this she will frequently save money.
The weight of opinion is, undoubtedly,
in favor of allowances. The tendency
of the day is to belittle the habit of
prOmiscuOusly giving small sums of
money-nickels, dimes and quarters. A
child with an allowance soon discovers
, that even pennies count, and if no 9TH
er lesson is taught, something has been
gained.

tor Of fine vegetables recently remarked
that asparagus was rarely properly
cooked when sent to table. because of
the practice of submerging the whole
of the stems in water, thus treating
green tops and blanched bases alike.
The proper way is to cook it erect,
covering the blanched stem with water
and leaving the green, tender tips to
be cooked by the steam. In this way
the entire stem is completely cooked
at the same time.

Ancient Christmas Carols.

tBy Lady Cook, nee Tennessee C. CIaflin.l
In former article on Christmas
we alluded to the old Carols which
for so many centuries have stirred
the hearts of generations of our
countrymen with love and goodwill
towards each other. We have them
in Latin, Norman-French, and Old
English, and sometimes in two of
these languages combined. Numbers
have doubtless been lost, but, owing
to the researches of a few scholars,
many ancient manuscripts that
might have otherwise shared the
same fate have been published for
the general reader. We are chiefly
indebted To the learning and labours
of Thomas Wright, Esq, and to the
public spirit in the Percy Society for
the opportunity of making the few
extracts which follow, and which
may interest our readers sufficiently
to induce many of them to become
further acquainted with our national
Carols.
Such n study is by no means to be
despised. 1t gives an insight into
the religious feelings and piety OF
the English in past times. Theil
simplicity of faith and supersuitious
credulity, their openness of speech
and heartiness of sentiment, are laid
bare to us, and indicate generou.
and frank people. We see that, then
as now, they Loyalty endeavoured tC

The manufacturers were vcrv ac-
tive buyers during the present week
of both Old and New stock. and
while there was some Quotation IN
the market the general results were
better than the previous week
closing stronger than ii opened.
There was no quotablr change in
fine Old tobacco. but red tobacco
was stronger and also colnry trash
es. The latter were very decidedly
in demand. Low grades are ready
sellers at advanced prices.
There were liberal offerings of
New stock and much interest in the
same was manifested by the buyers.
Prices were well maintained, going
up to Sli.e5, and some very good
crop averages were realized, reach
ing up to so. Nothing of really
fine quality has So far been in mar
ket, and present figures would hard
ly serve as a criterion for the fu-
ture. We think also that the mer-
its Of the crop have not fully de-
vclOred, though 1t seems to be the
general opinion that ii will he far
behind the old one in quality.
Stocks continue To reduce and
the lst of January will find less
tobacco in the warehouses than we
have known for many years. The
New crop will have clear sailing,
indeed, and even though it is re-
ported To be IA large one in bulk the
weight will not be an equal to an
average crop. and there ought to
be use for it all, unless the people
