And then in twinkGng heard on the roof The prancing and paving of each little hoof. As drew in my head, and was turning around. Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with bound He was dressed all in fur from his head to his
 foot
 And his clothes were all tarnshed with ashes and
 soot;
 A bundle of toys he had flung on hs back, And he looked like pedder just opening his pack His eyes how they twinkled his dmples how merry; His cheeks were like roses his nose like cherry; His dron little mouth was drawn up like bow. And the beard on his chin was as white as the The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke. it encncled his head like wreath. He had broad face and little round belly That shook. when he laughed, like bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and pump-a right jolly old elf; And laughed when l saw him. in spite of myself wink of his eye, and twist of his head, Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread. He spoke not word. but went straight to his work. And filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving nod up the chimney he rose He sprans to his sleish to his team gave whistle. And away they all flew like the down of thistle; But heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, Happy Christmas to all. and to all goodnight"

ttt * *s,

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through
 the house
 The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hope that St. Nicholas would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of plms danced in their heads; And mamma in her kerchief and l in my cap, Had just settled our brains for long winters nap When out or the lawn there arose such clatter, l sprans from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window flew like flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon, on the breast of the new fallen snow. Gave luster of midday to objects below; When. what to my wondering eyes should appear. But miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rendeer With little old dnver so lively and quick, l knew in a moment 1t must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came And he whstled, and shouted, and called them by
 name:
 Now, DasherI now, Dancer! now, Prancer and
 Vixen!
 On. Comet! on, Cupid on, Donder and Bitzenl To the top of the porch to the top of the wall Now, dash away. dash away, dash away aDl" As dry leaves that before the wild hurncane fly, When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky. So up to the housetop the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys-and St. Nicholas too.

1t is compromise between the blouse

Success has crowned the efforts

department i'll the attempts to pro-
duce a seedless tomato. The work
has been going on for six years at
the departments experiment farm
and the officials are immensely graf
flied at the results. The new tora-
to is only one of a number of inter-
csting vegetables that have been
produced by cross breeding. It
has developed into a fixed type and
crosses with other plants have little
or no effect upon it, The seed
less" tomato is not always secdless.
Sometimes it has no seeds at all,
sometimes it may have eight or
nine, and sometimes it may contain
fifty. The plant is a very large
one, of excellent flavor and has
been given the name of Giant"
1t is the result of a cross of the

pion. The plant is a persistent
bearer and flowers up to the killing
