1t is interesting to see how old is the
maternal delusIon about the smiling Of
babies in their sleep. All children
asleep are taken with catching Of the
corners Of the mouth, which is as I'M
like as possible to the real smlle-the
humorous and delightful little silent
sketch of laugh, appearing first at
any age between a fortnight and a
month. Yet human sentimentallty has
insisted on calling the sleeping gri-
mace, due to fatulence, a smile. and
even smile caused by dreams Of an
gels. And st. Monica must have
been as unlnteIligent on this point as
any other matron, for st. Augustine,
reviewing in his Confessions" the
growth Of his own mind, mentions that
he had been told Of the coming OF in
fantile smiles. ''havlng appeared pre-
yiously in Sleep" Thackeray echoes
st. Monica, for he shows US Amelia
sitting by her child, ''who was smiling
In his sleep" No baby ever smiled in
his sleep yet or is ever likely to do So

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION
The Ancients Made and Ate IL. but II
Was a simple AFFAIR.

The Ancients Made and Ate II. but II
Was n Simple AFFAIR.
The ancients made cake, but 1t was
not the rich, highly seasoned and ia
vored confection which we indulge In
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with -four and water, some OF them
without a suspicion OF sweet or flavor.
Some OF them were not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake. was an institution
among them, as with US, but the cake
was plain one and was broken above
the head OF the bride as she went to
her new home. This was special fea.
ture of Roman marriages 1000 years
ago. The breaking OF the cake was
part OF solemn ceremony. All of the
cakes Of ancient history are plain and
simple. 1t is only as we come down to
more modern times that we hear Of
spices and fruits and all OF the rich
and luxurious ingredients in which
present day cakemakers delight. In
Queen EliZabeths time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew for
all sorts Of elaborate and deliciously
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be a perpetual struggle for
something new and more unusual to
STIR into the cake Of the period.

Origin Of the Christmas Stocking.

From Italy comes the legend from
which we are supposed to get the time
honored custom OF hanging up the
Christmas stocking. Good old st. Mich
olas of Padua used to throw long knit
ted purses tied at both ends into the
open windows of the very poor people,
and these purses were of yarn and not
unlike a footless stocking. Finally It
became the custom OF the people TO
hang these empty receptacles out Of
their windows on the night before
Christmas SO that st. Nicholas would
put gift into them as be passed BY.
BY and by, when the coin OF the realm
became scarce, toys were put In for the
children and useful presents for grown
people. In the north country. where It
was rather chilly at Christmas time.
the purses were hung on the mantel-
piece, and 1t was believed that the
good old saint would come down the
chimney and IN them. When these
purses went out Of fashion, stockings
were substituted and have been used
ever since.

1t was not expected the senate
would kill the bill which provides
for county officials to be put on sal
aries and the fees to be turned into
the state treasury, but it did. Now
there is talk that some of those who
voted against the proposition both
in the house and senate will have
cause to regret their action when
they come up for reelection. The
bill seems to have been popular with
the people generally but not with
the politicians and the latter won
their point by killing it.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Well, it is all over. The presents
are all counted and sit in a row more
or less imposing in the place of honor.
The fever and rush of Christmas is
done. 1t is time for stocktaking
among the sellers and buyers and the
givers and recipients of gifts.
fed? Did you give where you de-
sired receive from those whose gifts
carried the true spirit of kind remem-
brance and real affection? How many
of your gifts We're given because they
were expected? How much that you
received came because of a feeling
that gift was due you in exchange?
Christmas giving ought not to be
perfunctory. Every gift should carry
its true message. Gifts for display or
in discharge of a fancied obligation or
given as favor to be returned, are
not gifts, but simple barter.
1t is just as well that we examine
our motives and impulses now that
the gift season is drawing to its close.
There is too much giving Of the one
kind and rot enough of the other.
Charity and ELECTION are two essen
tials of Christmas giving.
