and tradition. as when he refers 10 III,
"cOck Growing for Christmas" as il
used to be called. The prince Of Den
mark says:
Some say that ever 'gainst that season
comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated
The bird OF dawning singeth AL night
long.
And then. they say. no spirit can walk
abroad
The nights are wholesome, then no plan
cts strike
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to
charm,
So hallowed and so gracious is that time
Every one feels in that subconsciousI
region Of himself commonly known as
the heart that the time Is really a hal
lowed and a gracious one, but his mind
may tell him that to many the time is /
not so gracious as it might be. Only
to the few perhaps has Christmas ever
been gracious, but there are newly
arisen classes who have not even at
tained unto the merriment which was
a conspicuous feature OF past Christ
masses. These have never had it. and
even those born in more ample circum-
stances who would be expected to un-
ierstand these things appear to have
lost somewhat Of the art Of Christ

ExnIoaixsa In Your Body

The human body contains no fewer than four substances which are so in- dammable that in pure state they will "go off" by spontaneous cOmbus- tion For instance, there is phOsphO- rus, The body of person weighing i2O pounds contains twenty-tW0 ounces of this substance, which, as everybody knows, readily takes fire of Its own accord if exposed to the air. It is combined with lime to make the bones, taking the form of phosphate lime. The body of g human being weighing 12O pounds contains nearly one and a half ounces of magnesium, two ounces of sodium and nearly two and half ounces of potassium. The frst of these, substance of silvery whiteness, is so readily and 6ercely- combustible that 1t has to be kept tightly corked in bottles to prevent it from lighting of it's own accord. So- dium will take fire if thrown into water, and so likewise will potassium the latter with great violence, finally exploding and throwing shower of sparks into the air.-New York World.
 Making Things Hum In Rome.
 The Romans had three recognized methods of applauding- the bombus.. the imbrices and the testae. The word bombus did not carry any alIusion to explosives. On the contrary, this form of applause was the most decorous, in- asmuch as it consisted merely of humming or buzzing noise. Thus in way the Romans were the first ''to make things hum'' in a public assem- bly,. The bombus was not the chief feature the Romans had to offer in the way of applause. The imbrices meant A demonstration made with the hollow of the hands. The testae meant the striking together of the lat portions of the hands. From this we may con- clude that the Romans clapped, but there is no certainty on this point New York Herald

A Shabby Coat Collar.

Very often the collar of a coat be- gins to look shabby when the coat itself is in good order, and it is won derful what difference a thorough cleaning will make. First take a piece of clean cloth and dip it in spir- its of turpentine and rub the collar thoroughly with 1t. Leave 1t for ten minutes, then rub it again with the turpentine and scrape 1t carefully to remove any loose dirt. Next sponge the collar with little alcohol and keep wiping it until if is dry. Hang 1t up in an airy place for an hour or two and 1t will look as good as new.-... Boston Herald.
