Recent improvements in telephoto
cameras are said to have obviated the
old difficulty which required long ex-
posures, and have rendered it possible
to take pictures with such cameras as
quickly as with those of ordinary con-

effected by placing a tube, containing
a positive lens at n end and a mega
tive at the other, in front of the or
binary lens of the camera.

A Christmas Mamma
BY NJ. B. Bell.
N@<<<N<%<<<<<%<%<%<<

1t was one of those dreary afternoons
in November. The rain had fallen
steadily all day, and Roland and Esther.
Grahm, two motherless little children,
were curIed up on the rug in front of
the library fire, looking at the picture
book.
Their nurse, who was kind-hearted
woman. had frequently explained the
stories in the book to them. And now,
with their little heads bent down over
the page, they were looking at the pic
ture of two little girls in bed, while a
woman with gentle, motherly face,
was tucking them in. Nurse had told
the children long story about this
picture, what dear little ones they
were, and how loving and kind their
mother was to them.
Il wish we had a mother to tuck us in
and talk to us when the rainy days
come, and we can't go OUT" said Ro-
land, sitting up straight and pushing
the book away from him YEARLY.
I'm tired looking at picture moth
ers. Christmas is soon coming, and
I'm going to pray and ask God to send
us real mother, what we can talk to.
Then, oh! maybe papa will buy us

peen engaged, but Misunderstanding
had separated them, and he had after
ward married slight, delicate girl,
who, dying the third year after their
marriage, had left him with the care
of their two children.
That morning an old friend had told
him that Dora, who had never married.
but had been abroad several years, had
at last returned, and he felt an intense
desire to see her again. 1t was with a
strong feeling of self-reproach that he
sprang from his chair when he heard
the little ones at the door, and with
more than his usual warmth he greet
ed them, for they were very dear to
him.
Mr.. Grahm saw at once that some
thing was on their little minds. "What
is it, Roland?'' he asked, drawing the
little fellow to him. "You and Esther
look as though you had something to
ask me-" ....
Yes, papa, we want you to please
buy us ma NINA for Christmas"
"Why. isn't your father enough, lit
tie chicks?'
."Oh! yes, papa, but Essie and I
thought, if instead Of putting our
money in the envelopes this year we
gave it to you, you might buy us a
mother to tuck US in bed at night and
talk to us when you are out"

The tears came to the fathers ewes
. in spite of himself at his children's
strange request, and he thought if
Dora had grown to be as sweet a
woman as she babe fair to he she
would be the very mother these little

CHRISTMAS SONG.

Oh, bells that chime your sweetest!
Oh, world of glistening white!
Oh, breeZes blithely bringing
A message of delight.
From leafless hill and valley
But one refrain I hear:
"A merry, merry Christmas
And a glad New Year,
From humble home and palace
The kindly voice is breathed,
From forest arch and pillar,
And meadows snowy wreathed,
An echo from the angels,
A pean of good cheer:
Hark! Merry, merry Christmas
And glad New Year."
Oh. light of heavenly gladness
That falls upon the earth!
Oh. rapture of thanksgiving
That tells the Saviour's birth!

Bring heart to heart more near,
With "a merry, merry Christmas
And a glad New Year,

method of making him appear the
recipient of a favor, while. his just
claims are disregarded. Nor can We
refrain from suggesting to the hus-
band and father Do not make q
Christmas gift to. your wife of a new
carpet or pair of shoes or cooking
stove, for she needs and has a right to
these things anyway. Your. little boy
needs a new schoolbook for the next
session of school,, but he would prob
ably experience sense of wrong
which it would be difficult for him
to explain if he should find it In his
stocking on Christmas morning. And
we may suggest as an idea wholly for
eign to Emerson that if the husband
and father has from negligence, or
RIGHTEOUSNESS failed to provide hin
wife with a good supply of dry, we'll
cut wood or fuel for the kitchen stove,
or the needed quantity of winter fan
nels, it would be equally inappropri-
ate for him to present her with pair
of big pink glass flower vases or some
similar article, the price of which
might have added vastly to her com.
fort had the money been placed for
spending in her own hands. e.
..- Gifts for children depend but lit
tie on their value for the pleasure
they shall give: A houseful Of chill
dren can be made entirely happy by )
quarters worth of mixed candy placed
in their stockings, each piece Of candy
being wrapped in a separate paper,
thus multiplying the number of gifts.
It is very important, however, that
the gifts be put in their stockings.
The sweet illusion adds priceless
value to the veriest trifles: r
And so we feel like saying to our
selves and to our readers: Let 10
prepare for, a merry, happy. Christ
mas; let us forget for a little while
all the environments of our lives that
are sad and depressing; let us think
of the treasures we possess that man
did not make and cannot mar" let
US give tokens Of love to our friends,
though it should be only a geranium
leaf: or a rosy checked apple. Let W
celebrate Christmas. The yoke loos-
ened and laid aside for little will
everest and strengt hto the shoulders;
the. affections Of the heart called into
play and INDUCED VII. give strength
to: our soul; and both will fit US for
a better performance OF the duties
