which has a present hidden in the
center of each plum.
A sleigh driven by reindeer makes
an elaborate ornament. The whole
centerpiece measures something like
four feet from sleigh to antlers, so
that more than an average sized table
is required to display it to advantage.
The pair of RENDERS wear glitter
ing harness and they are arranged on
wheels, so that they move in slow
and stately manner if there is room
for this feat. In the sleigh are rows
of fat snOwballs with sprig of holly
stuck in the top of each and a tiny
Santa Claus standing guard over each
ball. A larger Santa Claus holds the
reins and guides the sleigh. Ribbon
streamers are attached to the snow
balls, so that the ends can be passed
TO the guests as they sit at table, thus
making an effective picture before the
Christmas load is distributed. Each
SNOWFALL forms the top of paper box
which is cylindrical and has its base
buried in the bottom of the sleigh. To
fill in the spaces between these gleam-
ing white balls branches of holly and
mistletoe or other Christmas greens
NAV be used.
A centerpiece which has no sur
prise feature is miniature gable roof
with a bright red brick chimney, into
which a tiny Santa Claus is stepping.
The roof is covered with snow and
icicles drip from it's caves, but good
old Santa Claus knows that there are
warmth and good cheer below, to
judge by the pleased and anticipatory
expression he wears. This center
piece may be laid on the table with
out any further decoration, or it may
be surrounded by branches of holly
and Christmas ferns. If much other
decoration is used the centerpiece
loses it's effectiveness.

Aristocratic Makers of Jams.

The Viscountess Wordsworth has
found her jam factory so remunerative
that she has decided to enlarge the
plant before the beginning of the next
season and to add sauces and chut-
neys to her products, says an English
newspaper. On her marriage Lady
Wordsworth began to make all the
jams and preserves for the consump-
ton of her own household. Her friends
liked her jams so well that she final.
ly decided to go into the business. An
old brewhouse adjoining her home,
Walters hall, was reroofed and fitted
up as factory and staff of expert
women engaged to make jam under
her direction. Next year she expects
to double the number of her employees
as well as the amount of her products.

mense auditorium, elliptical in shape,
and seats 5000 people. 1t is ESQ feet
long by $50 feet wide and 80 feet in
height It's self-supporting wooden
roof rests upon pillars or buttresses
of red sandstone, which stand 10 to IL
feet apart in the whole circumference
of the building. The pillars support
wooden arches ten feet in thickness
and spanning $50 feet. These arches
are put together with wooden pins,
there being no nails nor iron of any
kind used in the framework This is
due to the fact that when the build
ing was constructed, 1867, there
were no railroads across the plains,
and all the manufactured material
used in the construction had to be
hauled by express from the Missouri
river.
The acoustic properties of this
enormous assembly hall are the mar

standing in the shadow of stately mod
ern structures.
Almost the first thing the visitor
does upon reaching Salt Lake City is
to visit the Temple, which stands
within sight and sound of the business
center. Work began on the Temple
with the first beat of the city's heart
and continued unremittingly for 40
years. 1t cost over 100000 and is
one of the notable buildings of the
continent. 1t stands upon an emf
ing objects, it's whole form outlined
against the sky line before any other
sign of the city can be seen. It's ex-
terror is craven with the curious SYM
bols of the Mormon creed, and it's
Ioftiest spire is surmounted, fully 215
feet above the earth, by the golden
figure of Moroni, the angel who re-
vealed the religion of the Latter Day
Saints to Joseph Smith.
The interior of the Temple is
sacred; none but those of the faith
are ever admitted through it's iron
doors. Within it are celebrated mar
riage and baptismal rites, and many
are the mysteries its granite walls
conceal.
Within the high wall that surrounds
the Temple stands also the great tur-
tle-shaped Tabernacle, the general as
sembly hall of the Saints. This build
ing, in which the business meetings of
the Grand Army of the Republic will
be held, is one of the most curious
structures in America. 1t is an i'm

feet the dropping of pin can be dis
tinctly heard and whisper is audible
200 feet away from any standpoint in
the building.
In the west end of this building is
the great organ, conceded by visiting
musicians to be one of the finest in
struments in America, if not in the
world. 1t was constructed over 80
years ago entirely by Utah artisans
and mostly from native materials.
The dimensions of the organ are 30
by 33 feet, and the front towers have
a height of 4S feet. 1t has ITO stops
and accessories, and contains total
of over 5000 pipes, ranging in length
from one-quarter of an inch to 80 feet.
During the summer season an organ
recital is given daily at IL o'clock
noon, by Prof. John ]. Mcclellan, the
Tabernacle organist, and recognized
as one of the leading organists of the
world
In the immediate vicinity of Temple
square are many interesting features
pertaining to the Mormon faith. OPP
posite the Temple stands the Tithing
yard, where all faithful Saints are sup
posed to pay every year one-tenth of
their earnings and profits to the church
The wisdom of the Grand Army del
egates in selecting Salt Lake City for
a meeting place will be apparent to
every visitor, for not only is the city
unique beyond compare, but the
routes of travel through the canyons
and over the passes of the Colorado
Rockies make the journey going and
returning the most interesting of any
railroad trip in America.

Northern Idaho Well Called Cradle
of MiIIionaires.

The famous Occur d'Alene mining
district of northern Idaho might well
be called the millionaires' factory of
America. Rich men are in the max
ing there: Charles Sweeney, dep
uty marshal during the Coxey labor
troubles of dozen years ago, now
president of the Federal Mining and
Smelling Company, the four mines Of
which, although three were closed the
latter part of the year, earned net
profit last year of $1,596,707; G. H.
Reeves, once a barber of Wallace,
now a millionaire of Spokane, the mine
which his son-in-law located paying
regular monthly dividends of $4,000;
August Paulson, few years ago, driv-
ing a milk wagon for $40 month
now erecting History stee;-con-
crete office structures and able to

one edge of the linen to the edge op-
posite. Sew on the ribbon and then
line each cover with a piece of the
silk.
Cut two pieces of flannel one-half
inch smaller than the covers and over
hand the covers and flannel together.
Then overland the needlebook on the
bag.
A very pretty color scheme is to
have the bag and needlebook lining of
blue silk; the cover of white linen,
and blue satin ribbons. The EN-.
broidery is effectively done as follows,
using very delicate colors:
Flowers, pink.
Centers of flowers, white silk dots.
Leaves and stems, green.
Bow knot, blue.

Salt Lake City has been selected as
the meeting place for the next reunion
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The city is quaint, beautiful and full
of historic interest. 1t is the capital
of Utah, the Zion of the Mormons, the
one city in the west to which history,
romance and religion beckon the
sight-seer.
In 1S47 the founders, handful of
pioneers, the Immortals of the Nor
mon people, ended their memorable
pilgrimage through more than 1000
miles of unbroken wilderness and laid
in the desert solitudes the foundation
of great intermountain empire. To-
day it is the center of a vast region
filled with wealth and diversified re-
sources and the scene of activity in
mining, manufacturing and CONNER
cial affairs.

Den OF gifts. These surprise pieces are
intended to occupy the center of the
table when dinner is served either on
christmas day or tbs evening before,
and they supply good deal of merri-
ment as well as decoration Their
decorative qualities are rare indeed,
Ior they trim table deliberately and
more appropriately than an equal
quantity of flowers would.
Santa Claus is the prevailing motive
Tor these unique decorations, and one
OF the most attractive over which his
familiar form in miniature presides is
basket laden with glistening white
snoWballs from behind each of which
peers a smaller Santa Claus. In the
top of every SNOWFALL is stuck a sprig
OF genuine holly, while nesting under
each white globe is quaint gift, some
times joke, or something Christmasy

proper are rows of Christmas crack

Christmas Giving.

The one feature of Christmastide
that cannot be overdone is the giving
of comfort to the needy. Sometimes
it appears that the custom of ex-
changing gifts has its questionable
side, in the increasing demands upon
slender purses and the cultivation Of a
spirit of mendicancy in servitors.
These matters, however, regulate
themselves, and probably little harm
is done by the swelling of the spirit
of generosity at this holy time. But
the relief of the poor and unfortunate
is blessed work that can never work
injury to him who gives.
