Christmas Parties for Children.

Christmas parties are lots of fun
and all boys and girls who possibly
can should plan to give christmas
festivity of some sort for their friends
during the holidays.
One very nice kind of Christmas
party is the sort at which a little play
is given by some of the children.
There have been plays published IN
the children's page which would DO
for this purpose, and posslblys you
have kept them, but if not you can
easily get them from public library
a book in which there are plafs suit
able for, children to perform at Christ
mas.
For large children's parties, dancing
esnecially the Virginia reel, and games
are the proper sort of entertainment
Christmas party games are the ole
fashioned ones in which everybody
will ioin. Blind mans buff is one O
the best things to play, going TO Jer
usalem. charades, &c. Bobbl1ng To-
anples is a favorite Christmas spor
in England, and is lots of fun II on
doesn't mind getting a,1ittle water Of
ones best clothes. Z
For a smaller Christmas party
where dancing and the games men
toned are not possible, candy, maxim
is good sport. The candy should b
old fashioned molasses, such as re
; quires pulling. Then there is pol
corn, which is lots Of fun to do, an
, charades, which are always interes
ing. Gutter games, such as lott
picture puzzles, &C., are also goo
but a Christmas party should be kel
as lively as possible.

SEVERAL PLUM PUDDINGS.

plum pudding for the Christmas
dinner. or for any occasion of festivi-
ty. seems to touch the culinary su-
perlative. There is nothing that can
take it's place exactly. 1t has long
chain of festal associations, for 1t has
held it's own high reputation for cen
turies among English-speaking peo-
ples. 1t has crowned the banquet
from time immemorial, and it is not
likely to be displaced for many New
Year to come. But, like other old
customs, in making the plum pudding,
notifications have crept in, until II
has become not single dainty, but
whole class.
The orthodox English plum pudding
is not in substance much dlHerent
from a wedding cake-a richest con-
coction of fruit, bound together by a
snicy compound. Decked with spr1g

the table seems to give true zest and

this merriment savored too much OF
ungodIy company, but surely youtnful

ment to sheer happiness and merry
making are not likely to be overdone
in our modern, strenuous days
Christmas itself is in great danger OF
being made burdensome convention
ality. Whatever is truly joyous in the
household observance deserves TO pe
encouraged.
There are some who declaim agalns
rich cooking, and assume that al
compounds of this character snouio o.
condemned as unwholesome. 1t L
nrobably true, however, that the raj
sins and other dried fruits which max

but highly nutritious. The ter'eggs

Just as it is with rich mince pies
and all similar mixtures, the special
excellence of a plum pudding depends
largely on a savory mingling OF the
various spicy and fruity favors. In
general way. the greater the variety
the better, provided all are In rlght
proportion, so that they blend in the
result to form delectable combined
whole. in which individual elements
are not obvious. The experienced
cook is not afraid to add to the mix
ture at discretion whatever Will
heighten it's bouquet and enrich It's
mellow flavor. The same principle
obtains as in making a pot-pourrl OF
a great variety of fruits, the various
mingled fiavors of which combine in
kind of rich cordial.
The essentials of plum puddlng'
found in great number OF receipcs'
both printed and in domestic use, uo
not vary greatly. Almost all, whether
/ rich or plain, call for hne preao

Higginsulle Beans to Pennsylvania.

That the people back in be-
nighted Pennsylvania may learn
what real beans are, F. W.
Coover, who also raises those
yard-long beans such as have
amazed visitors to the Brandau
and Buckley gardens, is going to
send some of them back to
Pennsylvania to peel the eyes of
relatives there. Mr.. Coover
first had pictures of the beans
taken, but decided his relatives
would always believe it was
merely a'trick of the camera, so
he is going to ship along some of
the real articles, with a note to
the effect that he could not find
a freight car long enough to
carry the really big ones.-

Temperance and Hot Weather.


When Sol RACES in the heavens
prudent man will keep as cool
as he can without and within.
His mind will be poised, the
trifies of life will not heat him
and he will wear clothing as
light in weight and open in tex
ture and as loosely fitting as is
convenient and permissible.
Upon persons of average in
durance none of the recent hot
days hereabouts has been ex.
tremely severe. Those whose
occupations keep them sheltered
from the sun have gotten along
pretty well, and those who have
to work in the sun generally
have stood the heat without
wincing, if not succumbing be-
cause of peculiar disabilities,
such as age or sickness or in.
temperate habits.
Temperance is almost a GER
tain shield from the effects Of
midsummer heat. Alcohol is
almost deadly to many constitu-
tions if imbibed to excess when
Sirius rules the skies. But
temperance can go much fur
Their than to avoid alcoholic
stimulants. The exercise of
temperance should begin in the
mind. Do not worry. Do not
be fretful. Try to be polite,
suave, easy-going with your
associates, The reflection upon
yourself of external manners
will render You comfortable or
uncomfortable, even as are they.
Ice water is nearly as deadly
as alcohol if used to excess when
the mercury ascends into the
nineties. 1t does not heat the
blood, but it is apt to bring on
much internal woe, and often
intestinal disorders of a virulent
character. Nor does iced water
gulped down, assuage thirst ex-
cept for a mere moment. Cool
water, held in the mouth an in
slant and swallowed in small
portions, is helpful when one
feels the heat. Lines and lem
ons form the basis of many
healthful drinks.
In ones eating 1t is we'll to be
abstemious Most
midsummer disorders not direct
ly attributable to the heat itself,
or to alcoholic stimulation. arise
from indulgencein unripe fruits,
vegetables-such as green corn
which are not fitted far manv
stomachs, too great a heartiness
in the consumption of heavy
meats. Any doctor of exper.
fence knows that more persons
perish in the dog days from in
temperance in food than from
other causes.
Most of us would barely mind
the heat if we dressed with intel
ligent disregard of convention.
Tight starched collars are of
themselves almost enough to
produce apOpIeXleS. Dark col
ored clothes are much more un.
comfortable than arelight. Close.
fitting sleeves and confined
wrists raises ones temperature.
Imagine a ballplayer minding
the hot sun! He revels in it. ISL
clothed for it, is in good spirits.
above all, is temperate.

are also before the supreme court.
Now will any sane person claim that

would be for some one to attack the
