TWO WORLD FAMED GRANNIES
One of These Talented Women Is
Sarah Bernhardt and the Other
Ellen Terry.

Two famous grandmothers are dis
tinguished visitors Of this country. Re-
ferring to these talented ladies The
Rochester Post Express says: "One OF
the grandmothers is Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt; the other is Ellen Terry. Both
actresses have reached an age when 1t
is permissible to retire from active
life; but the French actress is said to
be as energetic as a woman hall her
age, while Ellen Terry is declared TO
be as young as ever she was in the
palmy days when she and Henry lrv-
ing ruled the theatrical world Of Eng
land. Miss Terry has retired from the
stage so far as acting is concerned,
and has taken to lecturing on Shakes
peare's heroines. And who could do
better than she who has played so
many of the womanly women of the
great dramatist? Readers Of her
breezy biography know what she
thinks of Portia, Beatrice, VOLTA, Rosa
lind and other famous women of the
tragedies and comedies, but no print

Kindness Toward Our Fellow Men,
Toward the Needy and the
LoWly Is Its Message.

The old message of good will
toward men is the Christmas spirit,
and the hope is that all have been
cultivating that spirit all the year
long. If some have not, however, this
week is their opportunity, to secure
at least a fringe of 1t.
The birth OF Jesus of Nazareth is
the special occasion of the festival,
but all are agreed that the best way
to celebrate that momentous event is
by keeping the old message of good
will to men fresh and iactive in the
hearts of all.
10 be plain and brief the spirit OF
Christmas is kindness toward our
fellow men-toward the needy, the
lonely, the unfortunates in our civil
lization's complex life.
Christmas is the one great festival
of the entire Christian world, and no
one keeps 1t who does not imbibe

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

sounded the note of peace to men, OF
good will, and this note has gone on
gathering strength and university
down through the ages. All the cere-
monials on Christmas day are out
ranked by the general feeling and de-
sire to increase the happiness of
others. For that is what the Christ
mas spirit is. 1t Is not the cost of
the gift that counts, but the spirit
that goes with it.
The world is growing kindlier and
better, and this is why each succeed
ing Christmas is greater than any
that went before. Christmas and
Santa Claus and the Joy Of children
and the Frightening of the lives Of
the less fortunate are all great liv-
ing facts, and it is these facts that
constitute the spirit Of Christmas.
Whoever has that spirit within his
breast has the true key to Christmas
with all its joys and happiness.

EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when indulged, indigestion
followed. Other times I had no appe.

nourish me and grew weaker than

Holiday Season Moves Judge to Be
Lenient Towards Old
Topper.

At a dinner in Denver Judge Ben B.
Lindsey told story about Christmas
conviviality.
There used to be an old fellow of

twice week for conviviality. He was
always hailed before Magistrate Blank,
and as the magistrate was about 60,
too, a queer kind of comradeship, al
most friendship, arose between the
two men.
"In the late autumn the topper was
called away from Denver He did
not return till Christmas time. The
convivial Christmas spirit in the crisp
Denver air was, of course, too much

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.
Remedics For Insect Pests.

No matter how careful a house
Keeper may be in keeping her closets
and pantry clean, insects of some
kind will occasionally make their ap-
pearance, but If everything is per-
fectly clean and everything that they
can feed on kept out of their reach.
they can soon he banshed from the
house, as insects OF all kinds will only
stay where they are well fed.
One good remedy to destroy roach.
es is to mix equal parts Of corn meal
and red lead and add enough molas-
ses to make a thin paste, spread the
mixture on plates and place them on
the floor in the evening and this
should be done every evening until
the insects are all destroyed.
A good way to kill and drive rats
away is to pour a little molasses on
shingles. cover this with concentrated
lye and place the shingles where they
run. To keep your beds free from
bugs during the summer, wash the
Stats and side pieces with strong salt
water and when dry. go over them
with a mixture Of one ounce of
quicksilver and the white of one egg
mixed well together with a fork and
apply with feather. To keep red
ants out of the pantry and cupboards,
wash all the woodwork and shelves
with strong boraX suds, 0sing about
q tablespoonful to gallon of water
and when dry, sprinkle baking soda
around the edges and in the corners
The best way to keep moths out of
closets and wardrobes is ~ wash them
out with hot borax suds and then go
over the woodwork with a feather or
brush dipped in turpentine and the
borax suds not only cleans we'll but
purifies and disinfects, and this suds
is excellent for cleaning blankets and
ali wooden articles before packing
them away There is nothing better
for Keeping the moths away from all
woolen garments than newspaper and
gum camphor. Break the camphor
into small bits and tie il in small
pieces of thin muslin, then place the
little balls between the folds of the
garments and pin them up securely
in newspapers or slip them into new
paper sacks and if the work is well
done you will not be bothered with
moths.
Every precaution should be taken

In France are dependent upon their
own exertons for support, says a
writer. The wages appear pitifully
small. as the highest compensation
(that paid for precious stone cutting)
Is only s1.S7 per day. The dressmak-
ers get about cents n day, plus two
meals. and the factory workers from
90 to 30 cents day. The rate Of
wages seems surprisingly small In a
country not afflicted with a continu-
Gus stream of immigration that makes
for congestion of population and con-
sequent lowering of wages.
