Singing sands are among our most
curious freaks Of nature. When
small quantity Of this sand is clapped
between two hands it is said to give
forth a sound so shrill as actually to
resemble a boot Put into bag and
violently shaken, the sand emits
noise strangely like the bark OF
dog. Similar are those curioGs NOV
ing sands that continually travel
hither and thither over the vast plain
of clay. Their movements are in
duced by the winds. and when
strong breeze is blowing the particles
of which they are composed give out
an audible humming or singing. I'm
der the microscope these sands show
an almost perfectly spherical form,
so that they roll on each other at the
slightest impulse, circumstance that
also accounts for the rapidity with
which the sands travel over the desert.
One theory advanced with respect to
the singing" of these sands is that it
is due to an exceedingly thin film OF
gas that covers the grains Gathered
and removed from the desert. the

there were real silver forks-a rarity indeed.
Ladies and gentlemen ate with their knives in
those days in way that would be consid-
ereG shocking. 1t was matter almost Of neces-
sity, inasmuch the forks they used which had
only three tines, did not very we'll for some
purposes, such the carrying of peas to the

This it is, which moves US to strive
to make children happy at Christmas.
They may be like those who float
along with the river. knowing nothing
of its lovely source high up in the
everlasting hills. But even if they do
not know why, most of us do want to
make it merry time for children
1t is emphatically the children's fes-
tiyal. No one ever regrets it who goes
out of the way to help some little
ones to be happy at Christmas. They
are the special friends of the Christ
mas child, and it is we'll to be able to
entertain the kings friends, if not the
king himself.
It does the world good to open it's
heart and take in the seasons greet
ing. Business goes on all the happier,

AS matter of course at the Christmas dinner
Gas on other occasions) the table was waited upon
by slaves who did duty as house servants. Two
were allotted to each guest, so that quite num-
Der required. All of the eatables had to be
fetched a considerable distance the kitchen being
detached from the mansion, with which it
connected by covered way
At the houses of the great Virginia families
that period it was customary for the slavesto wait
the table in their ordinary plantation garb.
But at Mount Vernon many things were on a
scale of exceptional luxury, and the negroes who
performed such service were clad in Washing
tons livery of red, white and gold which
was handsome and striking.
One may suppose, then that the conversation at
the Christmas dinner more than ordinarily
entertaining. AS a matter of course, everybody
was hungry for, according to the custom Of
those days, there were only two meals-brealfast,
which early, and dinner The necessity for
supper removed by a great prolongation of
the dinner, at which each person expected to
eat all that he she possibly could. In fact, it
was the duty of the hostess gently to persuade
her guests to gorge themselves to repletion while
the host made it his business to press wine and
other turntables upon the men to extent which
in these times would be considered most i'm
prudent.
The ladies' however, drank little or nothing
So far they concerned, the prohibition Of
stimulants was much more strict than it is today
"a rather curious thing when it is considered
how copiously the men mbibed. AS for the lat
ter if on occasions gentleman took too much
the matter politely ignored-such an acct
dent, it considered, being more or less likely
to happen to anybody. But 1T should be under
stood that the really hard drinking was done,
not while the ladies present, but after their
departure from the table.

because there is warm charitable
feeling in mans soul towards his
employers, or employees, or acquaint-
ances. We are all SO busy, we are
apt to forget to be considerate, forgiv-
ing. and kind. It is well to let the
brain rest, and allow the heart to rule
sometimes, or meI may lose the facul-
ty of loving and being charitable.
Centuries of experience have prov
ed that it is well also to make
clearing house of the season. to square
accounts by wiping off all the old
grudges and settling old quarrels. and
listen once again to the message of
peace and good will. Anger and mall
ice never gave a man happiness;
nothing but forgiveness and charity

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Christmas brings the remembrance

all who realize what it meant to the
world feel the desire to give some
thing in return though it may be
nothing more than the expression of
wish for merry Christmas No enc

first. People DO not always know the
value of what is given them The
only door opened TO receive it, led
into a cattle stablei But now. whose
door does not fly open at Christmas
to send out some blessing. some word
o. good will?
The old carol, sung to a few shep-
herds. has gone around the world
