The Best Gift of All.
Mary Gage Heyer,

We heard sob in the silent night,
Tommy and Susie and /;
And at first we thought it was Santa Claus,
But why should old Sanity cry:
And then we knew it was mothers voice.
And father was whispering low
In kind and soothing sort of way.
She seemed to be crying so.
We couldn't help hearing what they said,
And it made us all feel bad,
For father complained that the times were
hard
And he seemed despondent and sad
And mother was saying No new dolls,
And no little yearned for toys
O John just to think of Christmas day
With no gifts for our girls and boys"
1t sounded so sad to hear her cry
And speak so on Christmas Eve.
When every one is supposed to be glad.
And no one supposed to grieve,
That we huddled close and planned and
planned
To cheer her on Christmas morn,
For all the world should be happy, they say,
On the day the Christ was born.
So at dawn of day, when mother came,
Smiling at us through her tears,
We hid our empty stockings away
And gave her three hearty cheers.
Then Joe stepped up and kissed her and said .
We've got surprise for you
And it's just promise that we will max"
To behave "a you want us to:
ITO study our lessons the coming year
And mother, well surely be
Good little women and good little men
We promise you honestly.
When mother heard all our good resolves,
She seemed so pleased that We almost cried.
lis queer how you sometimes can be so glad
And yet be fearful inside.
And father stood there so very proud,
As he smiled upon each one,
That were AS happy We could be.
For giving is lots of fun;
And mother said, in her gentl" way.
Giving to each one kiss
There's many a mother who'd envy me
Such beautiful gift as this

In common geese the males and

In their case the males and females

men that have fancy for large fowls.

Will choose the China. Those that
raise the geese largely for feathers
will choose the Embden, because their
feathers are pure white, and hence

Fraslness o. Enna.

There are many old ways of test
Ing the freshness of eggs. Some Of
them may be OF little value Here
is one that is going the rounds, but
for which we cannot vouch. 1t may
be all right: Eggs are placed in pan
of water, giving each room enough
so that its motions will not be inter-
fered with by the others. The air in
the egg will be governed according to
the age OF the egg, if the egg has
been kept in a moderately warm state
If the eggs are just laid they will be
motionless If they are more than a
week old they will partly stand on
the little end, This is because the
air chamber is in the other end of
the egg. This air chamber grows
larger as the egg becomes older and
the moisture in it evaporates When
the eggs get still older they will stand
up straight in the water and when
very old will float.
This test of course would be of no
value in the case Of picked eggs or
of eggs kept in cold storage where
the temperature was so low that the
evaporation of moisture from the eggs
would be very small.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
OF everyday use in the market and
who, is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that O trial OF
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because It is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be SUI
perior to any other brand, hut because
each Toe package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
10 ozs. It Is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
