A traveller in Sweden tells of a beau.
tiful Christmas custom in that and
which may well be initiated in many
lands. He says: "One wintry after
noon at Christmastide had beer skat-
ing IN a pretty lake three miles from
Gothenburg. On my way home | no.
ticed that at every farmers house
there was erected in the middle of the
dooryard a pole. to the top of which
was bound a large full sheaf of grain.
In answer to my question as to the
meaning of it my companion replied:
oh, that is for the birds-for the little
wild birds. They must have a merry
Christmas, too, you now.'"-Selected-

Tight Corsets.

The great naturalist, Cuvier, was
walking N day with a young woman,
who was a victim of tight lacing, in a
public garden In Paris. A lovely bios
som upon an elegant plant drew from
her an expression of admiration. Look
ing at her pale, thin face, Cuvier said:
you were like this flower once To-
morrow 1t will be as you are now"
The next day he led her to the same
spot, and the beautiful flower was
dying. She asked the cause. '"rhis
plant" replied Cuvier, as the image
Of yourself. l will show you what is
the matter with it." He pointed TO a
cord bound tightly around the stem
and said, you are fading away in ex-
actly the same manner under the COM
preston of your corset, and you are
losing by degrees all of your youthful
charms just because You have not the
courage to rsslst this danger aus fash
ion."

IN A GERMAN HOSPITAL.
Where the Christmas Angel Visits
Suffering Children.

In n of the German hospitals of our
country is observed a custom quite In
accordance with the beautiful sentl-
ment the Germans weave about Christ
mas.
Christmas belongs to the children
everybody knows that-but 1t belongs
TO them in a deeper. more beautiful
sense thar Everybody" knows. One
is reminded of it. however, If he wit
nesses such a scene as is portrayed in
this hospital on Christmas V One Of
the nurses dresses In a long, soft flow
ing rob- of white. bearing in her hand
a fir bough covered with snow. The
snow Is cotton sprinkled with diamond
dust. This is the Christmas angel.
The children are told of the gentle
visitor and wait in their little cots.
When darkness Is outside they hear the
strains of sweet music in the distance.
The nurses are singing Christmas car
OILS, and the sounds come through open
doors. Then the Christmas angel
comes. She goes to each little cot.
bending over each little form to listen
to The whispered secrets. Earh-ohe
tells her what he wants IN Christmas
day. Then, with a tender word, she
passes out, and to the sound of the car
OILS they all fall asleep-those who can
slip away from pain.
When the day dawns all the children
are taken into the kindergarten. Some
are carried, some are rolled, and some
can walk. Sure enough. each finds
there what he asks for-drums and
dolls and trumpets and books. On a
long. low table is a plate for each one.
filed with candies and queer little Ger
nan cakes. On one wall Is a tableau Of
the Nativity made of small wax figures,
and a painting on the wall completes
the perspective of hills and shepherds
and the guiding star. Hanging from
the wall in the center of the ward Is a
large hoop covered with laurel. At in
tervals around 1t are set lighted can
dies. 1t is suspended from the ceiling
by four wide ribbons.
In the fever ward, where the con-
tagious diseases are cared for, the little
patients of course canno leave. but
they have their Christmas too. Two
large. fine spruce trees stand in each
end of the ward. brilliantly illuminat-
ed by tiny. many colored electric lights.

What are the cows worth that pro.
duce 400 pounds of butter per annums
Here | am going to make statement
and undertake to prove It correct, says
a writer In Successful Farming. When
q COW that produces 200 pounds Of but
ter per annum at a food cost OF $50
and labor cost Of $f25o Is worth $35.
the COW that produces 400 pounds of
butter annually is worth $500. and the
owner can make net SIG more from her
after paying interest on the 500 than
be can from the cows that produce 200
pounds of butter. There Is no more
labor connected with the 40o-pound
cows than there Is with the 200-ponld
cows. The price at which butter has
been credited. namely, 20 cents pound,
n the net price from tLe creamery after
the making has been paid for. In this
herd the increased cost of feed for the
Aoo-pound cows was more than offset
BY the increased amount of skim milk.
30 we have the 900 pounds increase Of
butter as net profit over the 200ponnd
cow. Two hundred pounds OF butter al
20 cents Is $40 We have 500 invested
