said an Atlanta clergyman, fused t.

would say, with the physician-every'
body wants free advice on the health
question from him.

ing the mayor. The warden treated
him very kindly, and at the ten days

Origin Of Gift Giving.

1t is believed by many that our GUS
tom Of giving gifts at Christmas comes
from an old custom of priests putting
on board of all outgoing ships box of
aims. This box was opened at Christ
mas-time, and masses said for the CIV
ing of aims, and it was called Christ
Mass" box. From this has came our
custom Of giving boxes and gifts.
