DRESSING THE TREE.
How 1t May he Done to Secure the

The Woman's Home Companion
gives some hints on decorating a
Christmas tree safely. 1t is well
known that when tapers are fixed
90 the laden branches, after the
gifts are taken off the lightened
boughs spring up and often set each
other on fire. The mode indicated
here avoids all that.
First" says the Companion, thin
cut the branches sufficiently to all
low the gifts to show to good ad-
vantage. Then with an auger bore
holes in a spiral row about four
oY five inches apart the whole length
of the trunk. Have some fiat sticks
prepared, an inch wide and half an
inch thick, and of varying lengths.
Sharpen one end, and insert them
according to their graduated lengths,
giving each a blow or two with a
hammer to insure its being firmly
fixed. Paint them green. At the

Dee MAN wHo sWoRH OpF.
He Is Deserving OF Respect and En-
courasement.


The world, if it knows its business,
will doff its hat to the man who
swore off New Years day Notwith-
standing the outlaws of the crowd
at the bar when they hear about it,
that man, says the Chicago Daily
News, is worthy of respect and en-
couragement. Having the desire to
mend his ways, he has braved the
jests of his associates, the sneers of
those whose unworthy methods he
hopes to forsake, and the curious
glances of casual acquaintances, in
order to exercise his viii in resist
ing evil habits. His militant man
hood is worthy of praise. So, for
your own sake as well as for his,
do not laugh or sneer at him or
take patronizing attitude toward
him because of your well-known and
unassailable virtue. Express conf
dence in him and help him to stick
to his good intentions.
Why should not one resolve to for
sake ones bad habits on the first
day of the year? Why should not
one resolve to forsake them on any
other day? Having made the resolve
and entered upon the effort neces-
sary to carry it out, why should one
be the subject of jests, since there is
nothing foolish nor dishonorable in
trying to improve ones methods of
life? If the school of experience
teaches valuable lessons, as every
one knows it does, why should not
one profit by these lessons? Habit
is mainly relic of youth and ig-
norance, so far as it is not formed
on good models or by the firm hands
Of wise elders. To improve ones hab-
it's from year to year is the valuable
privilege of the man or the woman
who has been learning lessons in the
worlds academy of hard knocks. To
take no advantage of those lessons
is to write ones self down a fool.
Pity, therefore, the man or the wom-
an who never swears off.

Gond-Rr. old Yenr.

The minutes are flying, the Old Year is
dying,
The time will soon come when the old
clock will chime.
When the year. bent and gray, will pass
quickly away,
And the New Year Will come in the foot
prints of time.
Old Year, you will go as you came, in the
snow;
For that emblem os childhood is waiting
for all;
And when in old age you will pass from
life's stage,
The snowHakes wiz cover the place
where you fall.
For many you hold what is decrer than
gold
We will never forget you. although you
have fed.
For the New Year is hare, and so good-by.
Old Year;
We will number you now with the years
that are dead.

The Birds, Christmas.

In Norway, the cold northern land,
the ldnd-hearted people wish to have
every creature rejoice at the glad
Christmas season, and they think of

the birds.-Detroit Free Press.
