DON'TS FOR CHRISTMAS.

Don't send your gentleman adorer good toothpick. He may have false teeth.
 Don't send your pastor embroidered slippers. To travel the straight and narrow path requires hobnailed shoes.
 Don't buy your daughter piano and your wife washtub. If you re- verse the order, you will do justice to both.
 Don't place your expectations of g Christmas gift too high. You may have to put your foot in your stocking to find anything in it.
 Don't make your friend a present and be disappointed because he doesn't give something. Perhaps you have surprised him.
 Don't give presents to people not quite so prosperous as yourself and tell them not to reciprocate because they can't afford to, make presents.
 Be just before you are generous. Pay your debts before you buy presents. Your creditors may consider that they have received an unexpected gift.
 Don't give your, boy drum and for bid him beating it, nor your daughter a horse and order her not to take it out of the stable without your permission. -Philadelphia Call.

 The division passenger agent haa passed through q weary day and Was tired. It seemed to him everybody thought he was under obligations 10 them.

 Impatiently he tore 1t open and reau it's contents. The letter contained a request from a friend of his m tue south that he get for the bearer d Dass to Boston Now, Boston was not on his line. and he knew the oIh- cials of the roads that went there pu. slightly Still. the writer was q lfien'i who had shown him many faVofS.

Enoi,rd has no reason to fear an at tacl. unless it be from France, ana Salisbury's talk about q posSiol" armed conflict is supposed to have fel- orencc to that country. where, says ono Daner. the anti-English sentiment has taken on degree of intensity such as has not existed since the days inn mediatciy following Waterloo. The French are naturally cNasperated by the systematic manner in which the English have tried to make the Paris exposition. which has just closed, a failure by severely boycotting it. This manifestation of unfriendlinesS. cOu- pied with England's brutal manner Of oytrthrowing two sister republics iii South Africa has inspired the French republic with anything but friendly feelings for England. Then, too, the Fashoda incident has not yet been for gottcn When France had her hands tied by dissensions caused by the DrCy- fus affair England, availing herself of | the French republics temporary em- | barrassment. ordered that the tri-colOr | should be hauled down in FashOda, where it had been planted by q | French exploring expedition, which. after traversing unknown regions of Africa, claimed FashOda in virtue of l discovery and prior occupation. It was q bitter pill for France to submit 1 to England's $ inSolent demand. and the humiliation their country was sub 1 jectcd to on that occasion has never been forgotten by the French people, who would be only too willing to wipe out that score with England. It will be seen, then, that there is plenty of l material lying around loose for q con- fiagratiOn. The French press of late l, has frequently discussed the fcasiDili
 ty of q French army landing in Eng
 land and capturing London. The nc
 cessity England has Of keeping Il big
 army in South Africa would render
 such an invasion much easier than il
 would have been before England un
 dertOok to steal their country from the 1 BoerS. This may explain Lord Sails
 buiy's speech. Either ,iie really fears
 an armed conflict with a, first class
 European power or by affecting sucl
 fear he hopes to arouse the Englisl
 people to the realization of the need O
 increasing the military, and maya

MARY NOONAN IS HER NAME.

Thc heroine of the closing month of tho nineteenth century bears the nIair little name of Mary Noonan. She is a servant girl in the family of a dia- mCnd dealer in East list street. New York. and until last Monday was un- known to the world. But when she was engaged in removing some dust in an upper room she saw in clothes closet the leg and foot of man. She neither screamed nor tainted. but dropped her feather duster and took I1n her broom and hc~an to sweep
 With every swing of the broom she anpro3ched nearer and nearer the clos ct door. She finally brushed against tn" door with the broom. closing it within quarter of an inch. Then she brushed with greater vigor against the closet threshold Still she did not rush things. She piled the broom a little elsewhere and worked back again gradually to the door The onnortnni- ty came at last and she quietly shut the door and spranG the lock. She now had the stranopr locked LID as a prisoner. but still she did not scream CT shont. Though there was a tele- phone in the house she refraineil from
 using it for it would have aroused the suspicious Of her captive and melted : IIm to an attempt at escane. She looked cut of a window and saw some linemen in the back yard renairing a | te'enhOue wire. To them she went and told her story. They broke the wire. attached n testing instrument. and hoth the police and the master of 1 the house were notified. They came and found the girl quietly sweeping and hummin@ tunes. The policeman ! opened the closet door and found a | badly cramDed young negro. who had
 waited patiently till the cverlasting 2 1 sweeping should end and the girl de
 part to other duties, when lie would
 arise and Clear the. house of it's val tables. His pockets were already well
 stocked with plunder. Among his col | lection was a travelling clock in rare 1 leather case, two purses full of rarC 1 coins, gold chains. studs and sleeve
 buttons. breast and scarf pins and oth-
 CT valuableS. The lady of the house l recognized several Of these articles as
 her property. But the most precious
 jewel of all was the girl who stood
 her ground so heroicallv and delivered
 over the rascal safe and sound in a
 situation that will compel his retire
 ment from the burglar trade until ht
 becomes several years older and wiser

HINTS. TO HousEKEEPFRs.


 Do not jar any rising material while it is baking. Hence,d not slam the oven door, s*S
 Stewed figs served on rice with cream make an appetizing change for the breakfast cereal.
 In breaking eggs, break them one at time into a cup, so that bad one may be rejected.
 Use a double boiler for heating milk. It is scalded when the water in the lower pan boils.
 A thick felt under the table cloth avoids noise and saves wear on the cloth. This also saves the surface of a polished table, as the varnish is often burned by hot dishes resting on the table, the heat going readily through one layer of table cloth.
 Some epicures who are not content with stuffing their fowls with chest nuts order their turkeys and ducks fed upon them for several weeks be- fore they are killed. Some turkey farms make this a special feature.
 Ivory, it is said can be made and kept white by washing it in soap and water and laying it while wet in sum- shine. This should be repeated if there are discoloEings for several days. Ivory carvings should be scrubbed with a brush.
 A rich, nutty flavor peculiar to win ter squash is lost when the vegetable is boiled. Wash and dry the squash and cut it, without removing the skell, into pieces about three inches square. Take out the. seeds. brush the inside of each piece with butter, place in pan and bake in q medium hot oven. Serve On inc shells, brushing again with melted butter and sprink- ling with salt before sending to the table.

The Nicaragua canal bill was finally passed in the senate yesterday, and without any of the several amend ments that were tackled on by the diff ferent members.
