STAND ERECT.

Just look at the people you pass on
the street or in the cars. Look for the
man and woman with an erect car
riage, and think of yourself. When
you pass a mirror look at yourself.
Try and get a profile view. You will
soon realize how much better you look
by holding your head up and your
shoulders back. and by and by the
habit will be formed. Really there is
nothing that adds so much to a mans
or woman's appearance as an erect and
graceful carriage.

In some regiments it is the custom
to usher in Christmas morning with
flies and drums Immediately after the
sounding of reveille, and after break
fast Tommy has to prepare for church
parade. This duty finished, he is at
liberty to make a grand attack on the
Christmas dinner. The soldiers are
first of all marshaled and arranged in
their places 1t the table in the com
pany's dining room, which the captain
then visits in order to make a brief in
spection and see that "all's well" with
the boys.
After that there is still another mat
ter which Thomas has to attend to be-
fore lie can start feeding, but it is Il
matter which is very agreeable to him..

made his inspection the soldiers of the
company are again called to their feet

When the officers have gone it is not

the good things which have been pro-
vided for his enjoyment. Roast beef
and mutton, turkey, goose and duck
are usually included in the company's
menu, not to mention such things as
potatoes, green's, buildings and pies.
After dinner Tommy INDUCES in his
favorite free and easy, enlivened with
songs of all descriptions. Patriotism,
of course, enters into the greater part
of the music, although the comic song
is also a great favorite. Tommy cares
little what the song may be, however,
SO long as it has a good swinging cho-
rus in which he can join. Thus the
hours pass by, the days enjoyment
generally ending in the veterans of the
company being called upon to relate
