chiidren,s Birthday Parties.

For small children there is new Jack
Horner pie which is charming A great
ball, three or four feet in diameter, is made
of light wires twisted in shape and COW
cred with paper, with a number of little
gifts tied up each one fastened to ribbon
which falls out OF hole in the underside
of the ball. Then fiat paper roses are pasted
all over the outside. This is suspended from
the ceiling; the children are given the RID
bons and warned to hold them lightly with
out pulling. and have a pretty in-and-out
dance and at Its close all are told to pull
the ribbons. when down comes a shower of
gifts from the ball.
A new and quiet game of hide-and-seek is
called cuckoo" The children sit In a cir
Gle on the floor. and one child leaves the
room and hides. calling, when hidden,
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" The rest must sit
still and guess where the child is, guided
by the calls which keep on from time to
time. AS soon as the place is guessed the
one who is right hides, and the other comes
back to the circle.

Quaint Old Christmas Customs

In Herefordshire, instead of yule log,
ore large and twelve small bonfiras were
lighted in some public place. The large
one was in honor of Christ; the smaller
ones for His twelve apostles. As soon as
the one allotted to Judas was well alight
1t was kicked to bits and the brands trod-
den under foot
In Oxfordshre the maid servant asks the
man servant for ivy with which to trim
the house If he refuses or has neglected
to provide it. a pair of his breaches is stolen
and nailed upon the gateway.
In certain sections of the United States
a strange use of rlistletoe is made, one
that suggests Halloween more than Christ
mas. Two leaves of the mistletoe are
placed upon the hearth in front Of the
blazing fire. Anyone desiring to find out
for himself whether or not he is loved has
but to name the leaves for himself and his
beloved. When the leaves begin to shrivel
under the heat they move or jump either
farther apart or closer together. Then 1t Is
the old story of the daisies over again,
"She loves me. she loves me not"
In Alsace the children eagerly await the
coming of the Christchild. This is always
young girl dressed in white. with hair
I>of lambs wool hanging down upon her
shoulders. Her head is crowned with a
gilt paper crown set around with burning
tapers In one hand she swings silver
bell and in the other carries basket filled
with sweetmeats. Closely following her
comes the devil Hans Trap the children
call him. He frightens them with his rough
voice and demands who has been disobe-
dent The Christchild intercedes for them
and treasures them by distributing the con-
tents of the basket to ali alike.

From the Boston Traveller.
It is appropriate that as the nipping days
OF winter approach the nip loving cat should
obtain recognition, being individual rather
than collective. The dog Is licensed. and
realizing the obligation. he fights for his
master. But the cat is not licensed, and
realizing her Independence. she fights for
herself. And she does very well. whether
on offense or defense. The sort OF fence
makes very little difference.
But the days OF her independence are
threatened She does not know It and pur-
sues her life (aud that OF the neighbor's
cat) with undfminished enthusiasm and uu-
muff1ed voice But there Is q plot thickeniug.
The cat Is beginning to figure in law and
society. So far. though the cat has been In
close association with mankind for many
thousand years, she has maintained her In
dividualfty. No one can claim close In
timacy with the cat. At least no one can
make others believe the claim. But now

The First Christmas Cards.

Christmas cards. like good many other
things, might be said to have been discoy-
cred by accident. Their originator was a
Mr.. Dobson, who in 1874 made little
sketch symbolic of the seasons joys, and
sent 1t TO a friend It gave great pleasure.
and the next day Mr.. Dobson determined
to follow up the idea on larger scale.
He had his card Autographed and was en-
abIed to send copies to some twenty-five of
his friends. Mr.. Dobson soon saw that his
idea was very happy one. for the delight
of those who had received his cards was
far greater than IL he had sent them a

a look al the young bears, and Eva Dutton
took a great interest in them. She was
playing about the pit and went part way
down ladder running into 1t.
The bears, which carefully chained,
eyed her demurely, and as no one was look
ing she decided to go further down, not
realizing any possible danger. Toward the
bottom of the ladder she slipped and went
plump against the little cinnamon. The
fall frightened her and she began crying.
When help arrived little Eva was seated in
the pit between the two bears, which were
gently looking her over. Their bread and
milk diet had failed to arouse their nat
ural inheritance of love for flesh and blood.
To this the girl undoubtedly owes her
safety. AS it was she was rescued with
only slight tear in her DRESS where the
claws of the cinnamon had caressed her.
