Go Slow Youna Men.

Nicholas Murray Butler. president of
Columbia, advises students against de-
Gliding upon vocation too soon. Ac.
cording to DR.. Butler, man should
not go to college with any settled
convictions as to what he is to do. DR..
Butler holds that college is the place
to make such decision. The oppor.
tunities there are so many and varied
that, according to the president, every
man ought to find something to suit
him. He implies that by the end of
his senior year man ought to have
acquired enough knowledge to enable
him to determine his right vocation

Move to Destroy Park on Palisades.
A SNOWFALL Surprise.

Why not give the children's Christmas
gifts in the form of snow man?
This is how one family did it last year
and great fun the tots found it.
On the back porch an enormous snow
man was erected, with coal for eyes, a
finely nodded nose and mouth, and a
hat decorated with branches Of holly.
1t looked like an everyday kind of
snow man that had not been very firmly
frozen, but when the boys and girls were
introduced to it, mother said:
"Why, why, who could ever have put
that on my porch; suppose you children
dig it apart and throw it away before it
melts, but do it carefully, so as not to
splatter the rest of the porch"
The tots were not specially anxious to
lose their new friend until the first
shovelful revealed that the snow man
contained surprises in the way of inter-
esting pasteboard boxes marked for each
one of the diggers.
Of course in making such a surprise
two things are essential "a snowy
Christmas and care in wrapping the gifts
in boxes covered with waxed paper that
the dampness does not hurt them.
If there be no snow or mothers are
fearful to have their children dig in it,
much the same idea could be used in one
corner of the nursery by making sham
snow man of cotton batten Wrap the
gifts up in it as it is building,
Set the cotton snow man in one cor
ner, surrounded by green branches cut
from Christmas trees, have plenty of
cotton batten on the floor around it to
simulate snow and the tots will find it
quite realistic and will enjoy the I'M
winding almost as much as if they were
shoveling their way into the Christmas
surprises of the bona fide snow man.

A Suggestion to Mothers.

Children who are only too willing to
eat the Christmas cakes usually are not
eager to- help in the baking.
If the mother, however, will pay the
boys and girls S, 10 or IS cents toward
their Christmas money they will usually
be much more cheerful about helping.
Even rather young girls of nine or ten
can be of great help to the one who has
great patches of small cakes to. bake
They can sift the -four several times,
grease the papers for the pans, beat the
eggs and blanch the nuts.
Boys who are old enough not to burn
themselves can be helpful when small
cakes are being made by watching the
oven. These cakes burn so quickly that
it is almost impossible for one person
to roll out the batter and put it in the
pans and at the same time watch the
oven

Ingenious Christmas Giving.

One family who always tries each
year to present Christmas gifts in new
way last season hit on a plan that was
so unusual that others may find it -sug-
gestive.
The son, who was something of an
artist, evolved an enormous turkey of
pasteboard, the very biggest bird that
ever graced feast He used the drum
sticks of a chi1d's drum for legs, so the
turkey stood firmly, and pasted the
animal with feathers picked from sew
eral real birds to make it natural.
This was stood on one end of the long
Christmas table, while behind it was a
dolls sleigh, on which was seated a doll
dressed as Santa Claus, with a pack on
his back.
The turkey and sleigh stood on bed
of green and moss hecked with cotton
batten for snow The reins were vivid
red ribbon.
The interior of the turkey, the pack of
Santa and the sleigh overlooked with
small packages, all daintily- done up in
white, red and holly-sprigged tissue
paper, while here and there over the
moss back of the sleigh, were other
packages that looked as if they hac
fallen from the crowded pack
This made unique decoration for the
Christmas dinner, and at the end of the
meal much fun was afforded when gifts
were found for each guest present.

Is report.
IN. Y. Herald, Dec. 49,

IN. Y. Herald, Dec. 15.)
Residents of the Palisades section of
New Jersey are aroused over the pro-
posed utilization of the park property
opposite Grants Tomb as the basis of
tenement and fiat house development
which is threatened by the present own
ers, whose purpose seems to be to get
as much profit out of the land as IS
possible
The park has trees of centurys
growth and is one of the most beautiful
spots around New York. 1t is sur
rounded by a splendid development of
detached houses, many OF which are the
homes Of prominent persons.
Announcement was recently made
through the Realty Trust that the park,
which has an area of thirty-six acres,
had been sold to a syndicate Of Pennsyl-
vania capitalists at price said to be in
the neighborhood of 100000.
The park was formerly owned by the
Hudson River Railroad and Ferry Com
pany, which operates the Fort Lee ferry
line, running cars through Fort Lee,
Englewood, Hackensack and Paterson.
This park has been the playground for
years of thousands of New York people
and has been the Mecca for excursions
from all over Bergen County for many
years. The Realty Trust proposes, in
the interest of their clients and in order
to get the most satisfactory financial re-
turns from the property, to cut it up into
twenty-foot lots, on which cheap tene-
ment cold water flats will be erected.
In the meantime the people of Pail
SADIE as we'll as those in Grantwood
nearby have held public meetings. All
of the Palisades section is interested in
stopping the movement, if possible, but
there seems to be no way to get at the
owners The Realty Trust people are
willing to sell, but at an ~exorbitant fig
ure The park originally cost $4,000,
on which the trolley company placed inn
provements of over 100000, and finally
mortgaged it for 100000.
An organized effort will be made to
appeal to the Legislature to purchase the
property for park purposes, and an
nouncements will be made from all the
pulpits in Bergen County to-day asking
the people to sign petitions
