PRETTY CHRISTMAS BOXES
Only a Little Time and Money Re
Iuired TO Make Them at
Home,

The outward uappings Of a Christmas
gift have much to do with its attractive
ness and for the last few holiday seasons
special attention has been paid to boxes
ribbons and wrappings for Christmas
packages. The shops offer boxes OF all
sizes ana shapes covered with holly
sprayed paper, but the ingenious woman is
clever at pastlng can cover her own boxes
and make them far prettier than those Of
fered for sale, and It is well to begin the
work early, so that each gift as 1t is fin
ished or bought can be placed in its box
ready for delivery.
Remnants of lowered or striped wall
papers can be bought for a few cents.
Boxes are always available and the cover
ing OF them requires only a little work,
careful cutting and neat pasting. After a
box has been covered and left a few min
utes 10 dry thoroughly, two pieces Of white
tissue paper can be pasted along the top
edge of the box Then four pieces Of
ribbon, the width being graduated accord
ms to the size Of the box, can be pasted
I'm for lies. The finishing touch OF pretti-
ness is the paper lace around the inside.
For FASTING library paste should be used.
Flat boxes for haudkcrchiefs are easily
covered ami always find a welcome place

Good New Year Start

A good way to start the new year would be for every mer- chant in the city to put his crew to work cleaning up around his store, especially the back where paper and other refuse is numer. ous. The rotting paper and refuse are sure breeders of disease and are by no means a good adver: tisement. We each owe it to the other to do our part toward main taining clean city.

A Depressing Sight.

A very depressing sight on the streets of Prescott, is little girl, probably not over ten years of age, leading about blind man, whom we presume Is her father. This little girl is placed in a posi-. tion that is doubtless critical. She is subjected to many diseas- es, cold and the worst of associ. ates. It seems to us there should be some law, if there now isn't any, to take care of such unfortu- mates. The girl should be in school where she can have the protection of proper people and be given an education. There is a place for the man.

The SundiaI.

The principle Of the sundial is
too well known to require descrip-
ton. In it the gnomon, cut to the
latitude of the place where the dial
is to be erected, is pointed due
north, while the lines which mark
the hours are set out at certain cal.
culated intervals. The sundial pos
sesses, however, the great disadvan-
tage that during the noontide hours
from IL a. m. to / p. m. it is prac-
tically useless, because the shadows
cast by the sun, almost vertically
overhead, are so short as to make
the dial useless as clock during
these hours. Also the dial is fixed in
one spot, and cannot be carried
about from place to place.-London

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The Curse That Was Called Down
Upon Mount Chicarrowa.

Upon Mount c!,icarrowa.
A weird legend is attached to
Mount Chicarrowa, which is one Of
the chain Of White mountains and
lies twenty miles southeast of
Mount Washington as the crow
lics.
Many years ago Chief Chicar.
rowa, the last Of his tribe, inhabit-
ed rude hut of birch bark on the
southern slope of the mountain and
supported himself by hunting and
fishing. In their season he gath
cred berries and wild grapes, which
he exchanged among the farmers in
the valley for salt, meal, molasscs
and other luxurics dear to the In
dian heart, including an occasional
jug of frewatcr. a white man went
up the mountain one day to drive
down his COWS from the rich pas
lures ON the slopes and plateaus,
and he never came back. His body
was found in clump of black berry
bushes near old Chicarrowa's cabin
with his skull crushed in. The In
dian was seized and, despite his
protcstations of innocence, was con-
dcmncd to a speedy death. lie was
given the choice Of bullet from
the gun of the dead mans brother
or more dignifcd exit from life by
means of voluntary leap over the
steep cliff.
Chicarrowa asked and received
permission to commune for the last
time with the Great Spirit. Stand
ing on the edge Of the prccipicc
over which he was so soon to make
his death leap, he extended his arms
with a sweeping gesture that EN-
braccd he whole mountain, while
he called down his curse upon it
and every living thing thereon from
base to summit. As he finished the
solemn invocation he lcapcd over
the verge and was dashed to death
on the rocks far below.
A few weeks later the real muir
dercr was discovered and made to
pay the penalty of his crime, and
the rcgretful farmers gathered up
the chiefs rclnains and erected over
them the customary monument Of
his tribe, rough pile Of logs laid
crisscross to form Il square. The
grave can still be seen on the
mountain side, though many of the
logs have fallen in. Since the In
dams tragic death it is said that no
cattle will live on the mountain, but
pine away and die, though the
grass grows rich and green almost
to the top. When harvested and
used for winter fodder no living
thing will thrive on it. Nuts on the
mountain arc empty when they fall,
blackberrics shrivcl on the bushes
while they are still green, and the
wild grapes wither and drop long
before they arc ripe. The gray rock
where Chicarrowa fell is Splashcd
and spattercd with red, and the
country people point to it and say
it is the Indians bloo1.-f:xchange.

The Marriage Knot.

Few Of those who talk about the
marriage knot" realize that the
knot was ever anything more than
a mere figure Of speech. Among the
Babylonians tying the knot was
part of the marriage ceremony.
There the priest took a thread Of
the garment Of the bride and an
other from that of the bridegroom
and tied them into a knot, which
he gave to the bride, thus symbol
izing the binding nature Of the
union.
