Other Forms on Glrdie Order.

Grades--.Est iiow They Should
Be PEePa?ed.

grade.
Spread slices Of brown bread With
grapefruit Enarmalade, through which

good sweet MIXTURE is pineapple pre-
serves mixed with caadied cherries.

One Christmas day Joseph II. and
Gustavus Ill, king Of Sweden, who
had arrived in Rome The previous day,
attended high mass at St. Peters. The
behavior Of the emperor was partic,t.
lariy decorous, without affectation or
hypocrisy. The king at first hesitated
about kneeling, and asked the emperor
what he should do

But l am not OF your communion. -
rejoined the other.
Well, resumed the emperor, ssbe.

A young man came in with an in

Medicinal Properties Of Calomel

Chrie.c,ss Makes Demand.

The German demand for apples and
nuts to hang on Christmas trees is al
ways very great. The inland produc-
ton of apples, even in a favorable
year, although large, is far too small
for the demand, in spite of the fact
that thousands Of acres of new trees
are planted each year. In order to
supply the inland market, large guam
titles of apples and nuts must be i'm
ported from abroad each year.
