The Woman Who Advises.

She is very wearisome woman the
one who gives advice. Si- does not
wait until you ask for it or she thinks
you need it.
She has it in stock, and If you
happen along, she poLrs it out or
you.
1t usually happens, too, that she
pours it more freely when you cam
use it, don't want it, would not have
it, and wish she would shut up.
She has sharp eyes, as a rule. They
are not bright and pretty, but rest.
less little beads, they look as if they
were threaded with pin point, which
pricks at every glance.
You would meekly suggest tina;
you also would like to come by your
knowledge through experience; but
she seems to be doubtful if so unim-
portant an individual will even have
any of the happiness that teaches.
She means well, oh bless her, yes;
but she is very wearing" to mortals
who come in her way, and have mis-
laid their wings.

ception of Santa Claus, written with
out help by nine-year-old pupil OF
District No. 5, and sent to Us by the
teacher, which We gladly publish:
Santa Claus wears a red cap and
a red dress; he wears fur coat.
He has fur around his cap and
around his coat sleeves, but some
times he wears red coat.
He has white whiskers and white
hair and sometimes he wears
red mittens. He has red cut
ter and he has reindeers to pull
him by. He brings the good girls
and boys lots of good things. He
brings books and dolls and lots of
things. l like Santa Claus. He
lives in the far, far north. He comes
down the chimney. He sleeps in the
country all night. He comes and
knocks at the door or window, he is
so quiet that no one would know he
was around.

The Pedigree of the Shirt.

Why does the being we call a
gentleman" wear around his neck a
band of spotless whiteness and un-
bearable stiffness, at his wrists SINH
lar instruments of torture, and be-
fore his chest a rigidly starched linen
plate? No one outside of a madhouse
would call these articles of apparel
agreeable. There is for the custom
10 reason at all drawn from comfort,
hygiene or usefulness. There is,
however, the ghost of dead reason.
Once upon a time gentleman" was
dressed to show this, by putting on
these visible signs that he never soil
ed his hands, sweated his neck or
bent his noble back. 1t matters not
that we no longer believe in this de-
finition of gentleman; we did be-
lieve it once; its ghost rules on. No
man is bold enough to appear in
lsociety without this impossible har-
ness. Only a professional humorist,
like Mark Twain, or some one who
wishes to pose as mild lunatic dares
rebel Addison said that the man
who would clothe himself according
to common sense would find himself
lin Jail within week.-Ex.
