skin in hard water with a lather Of soap. You may
deceive yourself, when you join the rest Of the family
with rosy, shining face, that you quite clean

q SIX any woman who is her housemaid and
~ does her own work and attends to the needs
- - of growing family beside, what day she
considers the hardest in the week. and the answer
invariably will be Sunday. Yes, sunday-the alleged
day of rest-demands moro hard work and more
nervous strain than even blue Monday or washday,
it is termed. In fact, Sunday many extra duties
spring up and added to the general care Of the
household, thing following upon the heels of an
other until the whole day is given over to work On
Sunday the family generally all at home 1t is
the fathers holiday well the chdren's, and SO,
by right Of common consent, they must all have
comfortable day and good Sunday dinner, which
much better than is ordinarily served to
them. The breakfast oo must be above the average,
and the whole day stands forth sort of gala day
family festival to all but the overstrained house
wife whose past week has been series of routine
duties without moments cessation. AS rule the
day does not begin quite early weekday, and
while there is slight advantage in the extra half
hour, maybe hours, sleep she gets in the morning,
this is entirely offset by the many duties during tho
short day.
The first thing upon arising on Sunday morning
the busy finds that all the clean clothes for
the different members Of the family must be taken out
and ready for use. The tub must be prepared for
each child and the little assisted in the BATH
The children must then have special attention given
to them separately. Their hair must be combed,
brushed and parted, and the GIRLS hair must be be-
ribboned and braided curled. The father generally
expects some few extra attentions in the way Of
clothing and towels at hand-and numerous comforts
provided-snce very few able to locate their
own belongings even tho the bureau drawers
may have been utilized for the purpose Of containing
them for years uncounted It takes a woman to seek
and find and make ready household things. "a man
valueless in this line unless he proves exception
to the rule)
Then the breakfast of carefully cooked food.
It may be eggs and chops meat Of kind, with
coffee and cereal, together with quite few little
luxures added to tickle the palate-frut, and prob
ably wheat cornmeal battercakes, which require
dainty preparation and long, tiresome standing
the heat to bake and which the tired mother enjoys
by proxy she gazes into the ruddy, beamng little
faces around her. devouring faster than she pro-
duce. Breakfast over, the faces and hands must be
washed again, coats and hats put and the finishing
depart for Sunday school. When the door closes and
the wife turns to her tasks, the dishes to be
washed, the discarded clothing of the whole family
made tidy from beginning to end. It must be thor.

caller. The father sits in the living room, eisurey

santa Claus WAS born in Batavia, in Asia Minor. That was not his real name. He was ;1n abbot and named St. Nicholas He afterward became archbishop of Myra. At the latter place he died and was duly buried. In May, 10S7. his remains were carried by some pious Italians to Bari, on the Adriatie coast They are now at rest in a splendid church which bears his name. The people around about make pilgrimage to his shrine every year. No one seeking food on that occasion is refused it by the priests, while ac- commodation Is given to as many pill grims as the editice will hold On St. Nicholas day, Dec. 6, a great celebra- ton takes place in his honor. Early in the morning the populace take his inn age from the priests and carry it through the town. At night the city is grandly Illuminated.

TO KEEP YOUNG.

Keep in tie sunlight. Nothing beauti- fu! or sweet grows or ripens in the dar,;.3eas.
 Avoid fear III ali it's varied forms of expression: it is tho greatest enemy of the human race.
 Avoid eXcesses of all kinds; they are injurious. The Ierg life must be a temperate. regular life.
 Don't allow yourself to think oa your birthday that you are a year older and so much nearer the end.
 Never look on tie dark side; take sunny views of everything. A sunny thought drives away the shadows.
 Cultivate the spirit of contentment; all discontent and dissatisfaction bring age furrows prematurely to the face.
 Don't live to eat, but eat to live Many of our ills are due to overeating to eating the wrong things and to ir regular eating.
 Form habit of throwing off before going to bed at night all the cares and anxieties of the day-everything which can possibly cause mental wear and tear or deprive you of rest.-Woman's Life.
