TWO CHRISTMAS TRICKS.

Many a boy has had an immense lot

piece Of leather, to which through a
hole in the center he attaches Il string,
and with this bit of leather, when wet,
he is enabled to lift stones and other
heavy materials. But here is Il sucker
he never dreamed of. Take an ordi-
nary radish-if you can get a large
one so much the hetter-cut it away at
the bottom. leaving Il fiat surface; ap-
ply this to a dinner plate and you will
find they will become attached friends.
Give a person sixteen matches and
ask him to lift up from the table ff-
teen of them on the surface Of the re-
naming one. There are but very few
people who will be able to do it. as it
is not a trick that is we'll known. To
accomplish it you must do as follows:
Place II match on the table. Now
place seven Of the matches on this sin

bic, other portion on the single match.
Now in between these seven more
matches, leaning in the opposite direc-

inexpensive Trinkets That May Inter-
est the Holiday Gift Giver.
There are many abalone shell novel
ties suitable for Christmas gifts. But
terfy and dragon fly pins are the pref
test of these. The iridescent colorings
Of the shell help wonderfully in getting
fascinating effects. and the Japanese
have used them to very great advan-
tage.
This season fashion and common
sense are walking hand in hand in the
matter Of jewelry, SO with the gay col
ors and strange lines of the moment
too many ornaments are in very bad
taste. Thus the heavy barbaric set
tings in bright gold Of two seasons
ago are seldom seen. and most Of that
oriental and Egyptian jewelry has dis
appeared.
Tassel trimmed pendants are rapidly
becoming the accepted novelty in day
time jewelry. On the long strings COM
posed of jet black enamel or onyx
beads. sometimes alternating with ca
bochons in mother-of-pearl, crystal or
ivory. are round, square OF diamond
shaped pendants in similar materials
from which depend long tassels in
beads, silk floss or narrowest crinkled
ribbon. Some Of these tnsSels are
quite full, while others are remarkably
slender.
Sapphires set ins silver or platinum
form the pendants from which swing
tassels in beads Of the same material
and which hang from neck chains in
bars Of the metal separating short
strings Of imitation jewels.

Qriuin of Christmas HYMNS.


Many popular Christmas hymns have
a most interesting history. Those who
have heard the waits and carolers sing
'Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!" on
Christmas eve will be astonished to
know that many years ago it was ren>
dered 'Hark, How All the Welkin
Rings" and was sung to the tune Of
See, the Conquering Hero Comes"
When this former wording was adopt
ed in the new hymn book Of the
Hymns Ancient and Modern" there
was a great storm Of criticism from
those who prefer the modern version
The hymn was written by Charles
Wesley.
The author Of "Christians, Awake1
Salute the Happy Morn!" was John
Byron, Manchester's famous man OF
letters. who was born at Kersal in 1891
Byron had several children, but, like
many another father, there was a fa-
vorite. This child was a little girl
named Dolly. A few days previous to
Christmas Mr.. Byron, after having a
romp with the favorite, Dolly, prom
Used to write her something nice for
Christmas morning. On the morning
of the great day, when she sat down to
breakfast. she found ON her plate an
envelope addressed to her in her IA
theirs handwriting. 1t was the first
thing she opened, and, to her great de-
light, it proved to be a Christmas carol
addressed to her, and to her alone.
Another very popular Christmas hymn
is that entitled las With Gladness
Men of Old" 1t is remarkable that
this cheerful hymn was written at a
time of great depression. The author.
William Chatterton Dix, who died in
1900, had been seriously i'll for a long
time. and he vas feeling disconsolate
and miserable.
One evening. after he had been some
weeks in bed, he felt a great deal bet
ter, and while in this improved state
he conceived the idea Of writing a
Christmas hymn. and as q result Of
this We get las With Gladness Men of
Old"
"Once In Royal David's City, is the
most popular Christmas hymn for chill
dren. 1t was written by Mrs. Alex
ander. who also wrote those famous
hymns ''There Is Il Green Hill Far
Away" and We Are but Little Chill
dren Weak"

TRIM THE Tree.

You Want on Ornaments.
Your Christmas tree selected, you
can trim it for as much or as little
money as you please. If your tree is
very tall it will be we'll to trim the
perpendicular position lest they be
too high to be easily reached.
First of all you want some attractive
and appropriate ornament for the sum
nit or tiptop point of your tree. II
you desire to trim it at very little cost
Il small figure OF Santa Claus may be
bought for 10 cents, or you may substi-
tute for that patron saint OF Christ
mas a cardboard figure Of a boy or
girl in winter garb, or II of al angel
with a trumpet, blowing out Christmas
tidings.
A surprising quantity Of pink and
white popped corn can be bought for q
few cents, and if strung upon strings
and f%eStooned on the upper branches
it will look very pretty, as will also
cranberries similarly used.
Balls of white cotton fastened to the

give a very pretty show effect.
Colored candles ut 6 cents Il dozen
and tin holders for them at 3 cents
look very pretty. In this way a tree
may be attractively trimmed at from
81 to s..
If you want an expensive tree moth
ing is prettier in the way of ornament
than the colored balls of the shops.
Hang these numerously from every
branch and have %festoons of smaller
ones from branch to branch all around
the tree from top to bottom.
Use plenty Of the tinsels represent
ing frost and icicles and the little balls
like frozen bubbles blown from 4

battery ran be bought for lighting the
tree, but of course the cost Of this
novelty is quite considerable.
Then the shops have a close imita-
tion of festoons of snow, which you
can attach to every branch and needle.
