How to send Christmas GIFTS.

Never send a Christmas gift without
your card or some means of identifca-
ton. People do not like to have their
pleasure tempered with mystery, says
the New York World Engraved cards
are always in better taste than those
written by hand. Written messages
on an engraved card are permissible
when sending a gift to a relative or
intimate friend. A greeting. as Merry
Christmas OF Seasons Greetings =
when used Is written on the upper part
of the face of the card. When simply
date is used, as christmas, 1908, 4
write it in the lower left hand corner.
1t is customary for gentlemen to ac-
company their gifts with engraved
cards bearing no inscription Christ
mas gifts should always be neatly
wrapped iii perfectly fresh paper and
daintiiy tied with a nice bit of string
or narrow ribbon. In sending a gift in
town, even to ones next door neigh
Dor, employ messenger or a servant;
never a member of the family If it can
be avoided. Always plan as nearly as
possible 10 have a Christmas gift reach
its destination on Christmas day Bet
ter the afternoon or evening than the
night before

HOLLY AND MIS- TLEToE.
How fhc House should BE Deelxed
with Christmas Greens.

How fIlc House should BE DecIxed
With Christmas Greens.
1t would not be Christmas without
d wreath of holly ID the window or
some touch Of green about the home.
The hall is the first place to be consid-
cred in decoration as this gives the
keynote to the rest of the house, says
the Philadelphia Times. First and
foremost is the mistletoe. or, as it used
to be called, the kissing bongh. This
need not necessarily be of mistIetoe
alone, as holly can well be mixed with
it. But it is correct to tie bows or
true lovers knots of various colored
ribbons on to the stems. The larger
this bough can be the better, and it
should hang somewhere in the center
of the hail.
If there is a looking glass hanging
against the wall land this is a great
Improvement to small, narrow hall,
as it gives an idea of space, let it be
encircled by loose holly wreath. At
the foot of the stairs put a tall earth
enware jar of artistic shape, and ar
range in it tall boughs of holly and
spruce.
The holly can be turned into great
variety Of decorations for the home
The wreath is by far the most popular
of the decorative designs 1t is gen
orally tied with smart bow of scarlet
ribbon. Frequently star of red inn
nortelles is set within the wreath.
The holly branches, with plentiful
red berries showing against the glis-
tening leaves. make an artistic garni-
ture for the house, The branches are
a graceful ornamentation for pictures,
cornices and doors. In halls they are
particularly effective when there is a
fireplace that may be used as back
ground
A gilded basket you can gid 1t your
self at small cost filled with holly and
tied with broad. scarlet satin ribbon
would make an effective centerpiece
for the Christmas dinner table a
bunch of holly will of course crown
the Christmas pudding, but a bunch
Of mistletoe must be tied under the
chandelier in the parlor
There are people who every Christ
mas put on great airs about their real
English mistletoe,n but our American
mistlctoe answers all practical pur-
poses, and the luck it brings and the
salutation it invites are just as gem
uine as any foreign article Every
year the south is sending large guam
titles of miStletoe to market

Sir Samuel Baker once had a thrilling
adventure with an African buffalo bull
which he discovered standing in the
shadows of small lake. He fired two
bullets without effect. and the animal
charged. Sir Samuel had no ammuni-
ton left; but. luckily the bull halted
to stare at him. Suddenly a bright
thought flashed through my mind. z

Victoria, Jan. 10. - Copies of inter-
views given to Chinese paper by WI
Ting-fang, ex-minister to the United
States, were received here yesterday.
The minister is quoted as saying that
the exclusion laws against Chinese
are carried out in a way never in
tended by the American legislature.
The higher officials do not mean that
they shall be so carried out, but the
execution of the exclusion law is left
in the hands of customs officers who
enforce the law in a way which is in

is ridiculous, as the circumstances
there are entirely different from those
