WRITING TO SANTA CLAUS.
TFRoM THE CoMMoNER

LFRoM THE CoMMoNER
With infinite care and many a pause
She's writing a letter to Santa Claus.
Her pink cheeks are dimpled, her brown eyes shine,
Her fingers are guiding the pen Alright;
Aad q wish she writes in every line
That must 90 by post in the fire tonight,
For the note that is signed with baby's name
Will haste away on the dancing flame.
Postage is free
To girls and boys
Who send their notes
To Land o. Toys.
She's making a curve for a waxen doll,
And a big, black blot for a parasol.
She knows that old Santa will understand
Each mark she is making upon the sheet;
And she changes her pen from hand to hand,
While over her cheeks chase the dImples sweet.
Writing to Sants-God grant be gives
An answer to every sweet tot that lives.
Over the snow
Without a pause
The sweet notes go
To Santa Claus.
And Santa awaits 10 his north retreat
For the postman's knock and the misslves sweet.
And be smiles and chuckles the while he reads
The marvellous writing of boys aud girls
Quaint and curious are the blotted sereeds
OF dashes aud dots, and of quirks and curs.
But all are as plain a. your A, b, Cs
To Santa who reads with the utmost ease,
For baby marks
In polar CLINT
To Santa Claus
Are plain as print.

would expect to know if the allow
ance were sufficient for the housekeep-

her place, if the plumbing was out OF
order, and the main and general facts
of the household life.
But he does not expect or wish to
hear that the cook can't be made to
keep her closets clean, that the maid
will nick the china, that the grocer's
boy stays too long in the kitchen, that
the ice man is always treated to pie,
that 1t isn't to be imagined what be-

1t is her business to make the cook
keep her closets clean, to have the maid
taught care in handling the china, to
see that the grocer's boy acquires the
habit of doing his errand and going
quickly, to find out what became of the
drippings, to have the joint weighed
and cheating made impossible, to as

most adapted to early autumn use,
when the weather is too warm for thick
stuffs, and yet too uncertain for thin.
The two additional gowns in the
group cut are taken from TIE best ex-
amples in these little bargain frocks.
One is of the satin finished foulard
white, ringed with violent in two
shades. Embroidered batiste bands,
and ruchings of gauze ribbon in the
deeper violet, decorate stylishly the
fiaring circular skirt. The lower naif
of the bodice is in plain white null,
and the short foulard bolero finishes
high on the bust with soft violet rib
bon, tied in fiat bow without ends.
The remaining costume is a sympho-
ny in red and black, with plain red for
the Killed skirt fiounce, tucked yoke,
and lower portion of sleeves. White
lace edges the yoke of the blouse, and
forms Jaunty upper sleeve.

with black, fall below the lace dia-
monds of the outer ones; a hip yoke
gives the young figure a womanish
grace, and at the front of the collar
band a single medallion of the lace,
cut in half and pointing downward, is
a becoming touch.
The other dress is much simpler in
result than this, though it's materials
are even more extravagant. Pale brown

FoRESHAD0WING OF FALL.
Autumn Leaf shades with n Dash of
Color.

New York, Aug. 16-Some of the
most dashing suits of the season are
made of the heavy crashes and lin
ems that run to tailor effects. In a ser
tain soft brown shade, that especially
offers itself for first autumn wear, some
of the canvases have a sacking loose
ness of weave that is very chic. Rus
sian embroidery, in deep blue, dark red
and black combines beautifully with
this; the patterns being traced upon the
gown material and there worked by
hand. To tighten this labor a little,
black silk braids very small and round,
are sometimes used for the dark en-
phasis in these rich trimmings.
The central figure in the group pic
ture demonstrates one way of making
an embroidered linen sacking. The
hand decoration is in sapphire blue,
black and white, and with the delicate
brown of the gown no colors could be
more splendid. Sapphire taffeta sup
plies the foundation, and for all The
heaviest lines of the embroidery the
black braid above mentioned is used.

fretfulness and trivial nothings.
Even if it were an assured fact that
man is as selfish and brutal as Kip
ling says he is. he is still. on the same
evidence, companionable. And the wife
who, nevertheless and in spite of such
circumstances, wants his companion
ship, must make her own agreeable to
him. For the man does not live, even
though he be near sainthood, who does
not prefer a cheerful atmosphere to a
dismal one. And even IL the wife has
been annoyed and vexed all day, half
sick and tired to death, she will do
more in the long run for her own hap
piness, by suppressing the recital of
her troubles and delinquencies, and
letting her husband find 1t a possibility

the day abroad to the peace of his
evening at home.

National Meat inspection.

The live stock and meat inspection
service of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry has had phenomenal growth
and now constitutes the larger part of
it's work. Meat inspection was carried
on, in the fiscal year 1900, at 148 pack
ing houses and abattoirs, situated in
forty-fve different centers. The total
number of antemortem inspections of
animals was 530S7, 1894. This comprised
9,656,762 inspections of cattle, 1854, 1872
of sheep, 559,735 of calves, 33,011 ,2O5 of
hogs, and $3.50 of horses. The number
of animals rejected, subject to post
mortem inspection, was 1859. The
actual number of animals inspected
before slaughter was 34,S40,374, against
3809,459 in 1892, an increase of 81, $780,
915, or 815 per cent. The postmortem
inspection of 34,737,613 animals re-
suited in the condemnation of 81 900
carcasses and 3O.346 parts of carcasses.
The Bureau in 1899 inspected micro
scopically 10S,92S, 195 pounds of pork for
export, as against 3S,152.S74 pounds in
1892, when microscopical inspection
was begun, an increase of 70,775, 1921
pounds, or 1856 per cent. In 1900, how
ever, but 55,sO9,626 pounds were in
spected, or only about half as much
as in 1899.

CONCLUSIONS.

The sight of a person in commissions
is terrifying, but in the great majority
of cases the sufferer is in no immediate
danger. Whether or not the convul-
sion foreshadows serious ending de-
ponds upon variety of causes. AS a
rule, commissions are more serious in
adults than in children, especially very
young children. Two things are nee
essary for the occurrence of convul-
slons: First, an unstable condition of
the nervous system, the predisposing
cause-and secondly, some exciting
cause sufficient to disorder the weak
ened nerve centers. The instability of
the nervous system is more pronounc-
ed in children than in adults, and
seems often to be hereditary, the men,
bers of certain families being more
prone to fits than others. Certain
chronic diseases of nutrition, such as
ricketts,, are associated with an irrita-
bll1ty of the brain and spinal cord, and
commissions are peculiarly frequent in
children suffering from such diseases.
Commissions in children are very COM
mon at the onset of one of the acute
levers, such as Scarlatina or measles.
at that time the commissions have
no special significance, but when oc-
curing later during an attack of scarlet
fever, they may point to the existence
OF kidney disease. In whooping cough
commissions are sometimes produced
in consequence of deficient aeration of
the blood, owing to a partial collapse
of the lungs. In children commissions
are perhaps most commonly the result
OF some disorder of the digestive tract,
caused by the presence of indigestible
material in the stomach or bowels, or
of intestinal worms Inflammation of
the ear is another common exciting
cause of commissions, but teething,
Which is blamed for so many fits, very
seldom causes commissions, unless the
eruption of the teeth is exceedingly
difficult and painful. In children, as
IN adults, commissions may be due to
hysteria or to epilepsy. They may be
caused by a great shock to the nervous
system, such as severe fright. Men
nights or tumor of the brain may
also cause them, both in children and
in adults.
Whatever the cause, it will be safe
to put child with commissions into
not too hot bath-say at a temperature
OF about ninety-six or ninety-seven de-
grees. Nerve sedatives are usually
prescribed in the hope of preventing
a second convulsion, but the cause, if
dlscoverable, must of course be re-
moved.
