! can hear him singing, family,
As he urges on his deer,
And his song is nteIlowed quantity
As the measures strike the ear,
But the Tilt Of it Is jolly,
Ahd the words of it are gay;
Get the mistletoe and holly,
IhaVe started on the way"
can hear the hoof-beats thuddina,
AS the snow is flung behind,
While the laden sleigh is scudding
With the swiftness of the wind;
And the echoes now are fiinging
Broken nurnnurs of the song
That old Santa Claus Is singing
While the reindeer speed along:
little fellow, little fellow, while you
sit and dream of me,
And the marvel of the morning that
shall show the wondrous tree.
For your trust in all the fancies of the
shadow and the CLEAN,
am starting on my journey down the
highway of your dream"

An EATING SCHOOL

Budapest, Hungary. June 19.-It was
thought that this city had schools of
every description, but It remained for
an enterprising lady named Hoiker to
establish a school to instruct our citi-
zens in the gentle art of eating. Prac-
teal demonstrations will be given in
table manners. but the chief aim Of the
establishment is to teach the ignorant
how to deal successfully with such
dishes as they never heard Of before.
Examinations will be held at the
end OF each term, when the students
will be required to attack an array of
unknown deliciacies set before them.
Those who undergo the ordeal sue
cessfully will obtain a certificate from
Frau Hoiker which will enable them
to face any banquet without flinching.

few sewing machine manufacturers pro-
duce their own cabinet work. This is a
distinct industry in itself.

q Only the finest woods procurabIe are used.
To insure the proper selection of these
