The old fashioned stockings and
hearts and crosses and animals cut out
of tarlatan outlined with worsted and
then filled with fiat candies and tied
on the tree are always popular orna-
ments. Sugar figures bought In the
confectionery store will serve to break
the monotony. The baker at Christmas
time usually has his windows filled
with horses. dogs. cats and men and
women made of delectable cake dough
and artistically ornamented with color
ed sugar curlycues. These are tooth
some and attractive to the small boy
and girl.
Candles in small candle holders are
always scattered well over the tree. II
is wise precaution to keep pan OF
water in which is a wet sponge in case
of accidents, When spark falls upon
a bough. the sponge quickly applied to
the spot will check the spread of the

A WORD 10 FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many OF on farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in condition OF
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges OF
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia fortunes; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paines
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab.
fishing of perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the ngors OF severe winter.

To feed the pigs, the perpendicular

down the slide (f).
Instead of having partitions in the

clearly to put pieces of plank on the

sneciaI sense ID Animate.

DR.. Werner, of Vienna, has lately
printed the results of his observations
D o the special senses of animals, espe-
cially upon the sense of reptiles and
amphibians. He concludes that these
latter are capable of going directly to-
ward water, which attracts them, so
to say, even at long distances. Light
acts upon them, independently Of heat.
Their sight is generally good and
is probably their most acute sense;
yet their vision is very limited.
CrOcodiIes cannot distinguish a man at
distances above ten times their length,
Fish see for only short distances. The
vision Of serpents is poor. The boa
constructor, for example, can see nc
further than a third of it's own length.
Some snakes see no further than one
eighth of their length. Frogs are bet
ter endowed and see 20 times their
length. The hearing Of all these
animals is even worse than their sight
Most reptiles are deaf, especially boa
constructors. Deaf as an adder" may
