How inadequate Is the last-moment

the usual conditions in cities-to
express the rightful Christmas senti-
ment. Instead Of telling Of Christmas
Joy if it could but speak the gift
would say:
Il bring you a friends irritabilities,
and a sales-woman's white cheeks,
and little cash girls sobs, and wish
you a miserable Christmas" In short,
this belated purchase, obtained with
such effort to all concerned, carries
with it the unheard tears and sighs
of the Yuletide angels, those shining
spirits Of gladaess we turn from our
doors. There is a way to escape this
very great annoyance to ourselves and
Injustice to others. The shops are

The next sinners against the Yule-

NETTLE CALLED A DELICACY
English Newspaper Throws New Light
on What Has Been Considered
Worthless Weed.

Mr.. Pepys was regaled with nettle
porridge at the house Of friend and
found it very good" The same deli
cacy is referred to by Evelyn. The
nettle, in fact, which the ignorant dis
miss as an unpleasant weed, is capable
of doing all sorts Of things for man. A
Scot was able to boast that he had
eaten nettles. slept in nettle sheets
and dined off nettle tablecloth. The
nettle is not the only vegetable deli
cacy enjoyed by country folk which
never finds its way to the townsman's g
table. In Kent, at this season, the
early shoots of the wild hop are cook
ed and eaten as something superior to
asparagus. The plant needs search
ing for amid the hedges, but that no
doubt, adds to its piquancy. Hop hunt
ers, however, have always to remem'

plant is a felony.-London Chronicle

Tea drinkers should remember the

PHILOSOPHY OF THE TALLER
Remarks Wise and Otherwise That
Have a Bearing on Life az a
Generality.

Lovers may be divided into two
classes, amateurs and professionals;
and loving Is one of the few things
the amateurs do better than the pro.
fessionals.
A woman will sometimes forgive a
man for stealing kiss from her, but
she will never forgive him If he
fails to return one she has given him
of her own free will.
A woman who takes the downward
path gets more attention than her
sister because there are so many
more men going her way.
Some men fail for want of woman
and others through wants Of a
woman.
We believe almost anyone who tells
US that we're right, but no one
but ourselves can convince us that
we are wrong.
Some girls make themselves out to
be greater fools than they are by pre-
tending to have refused chances
they've never had.
Human beings love warning other
people, and other people love ignor.
ing warnings and being human be.

The good are seldom as good as
they think themselves, and the bad
are never as bad as the good think
them.
Some men borrow a fiver, and be

they owe you is a grudge.
