PROVERBS OF THE JAPANESE
Are as Quaint and interesting as
Their Works Of Art That Charm
All People.

1t has been said that the Japa-
nese are as apt and unique in their
proverbs as they are in their works
Of art. What, for example, could be
more appropriate to men in certain
desperate circumstances than this {:
"Man may shout when he can no
longer swim?" "While the tongue
works the brain sleeps" is another
saying of the japanese, which ex-
presses their contempt for loquacious
persons.
The japanese are quick at repair
tee; their wit is keen and tempered,
and they can often administer a per-
feet snub in brief, terse form. In
Illustration of this there may be
cited the following instance:
There was being tried in a court
a case involving the possession and
ownership of a piece of property.
The litigants we're brothers. The
holder, who was clearly not the right
full owner, had assaulted and elected
his brother and was protesting his
right to defend his claim.
The examining magistrate listened
very patiently to him until he closed
with the words, Gwen a cur may
bark at his own gate" Then the
magistrate said; even a cur re-
Spects his own kin"

PARTISAN EASTER EGGS.

Three years ago the city of Paris
presented the car with a wonderful
Easter egg. 1t was incrusted with
precious stones and rested on

the egg flew open and revealed a

A TINY CHRISTMAS TREE.

One Mother Made Her Little Girl Very
Happy With Miniature Plant.
A tiny FIR tree, not over two and
half feet high, and of symmetrical
shape, was chosen for my little girls
dolls Christmas tree, says writer in
the Woman's Home Companion. This
was easily planted in a flowerpot and
established upon large table in the
living room. Tiny candles were fasten-
ed upon the branches, ten cent bunch
OF tinsel was sufficient for draping and
further outlay for the small colored
glass ornaments added to the gorgeous
ness.
The main idea Is to keep everything
on miniature scale while duplicating
for the beloved doll children the gifts
that usually fall to the small mother.
So 1t was that tiny dolls were dressed;
tiny fancy boxes were filed with tiny
candies, others contained wee handker-
chiefs embroidered with smallest Of
initials; here hung hand mirror. there
a nursing bottle, tiny fans, lovely set
of cups for the tea table, sIeall bird
in n gilt cage, a new pet kitty, and so
on. Ten cent stores yielded most OF
the treasures.
On the morning of Christmas my
eight-year-old was shown her old dol
lies. each radiantly dressed, and was
told that their tree was ready below
stairs. The Joy and delight at the
sight were charming to behold and the
blissful apportionment of gifts began.
AS each arriving playmate rolled in her
new dolly ''to show what I've got"
envy and pride reflected upon the faces
OF the visitor and visited, only to be
dispelled by ''there is something on the
tree for your dolly"

Christmas Eve

The bIackIog's flame has died away;
The embers into ashes drift.
Outside the SHOWS are eddyina, gray,
And piling fast in many a rift.
White rohed is now the cedar tree
Where once the catbird nightly sang,
And from the caves by two and three
The icicIes like arrows hang.
The shadows on the somber wall
Fit, cross and dance amid the gloom,
And streaks of ghostIy color fall
In changing hues about the room.
The spiders in the corners dim
Within their webs the closer cling,
And from the mantel,s oaken rim
A pair of chiIdrens stockings swing.
Ger field and forest, lane and road
Fast and still faster swirl the SHOWS,
And in the barn loft snugly slowed
A drowsy rooster wakes and crows.
The clock strikes twelve, and midnight
wanes,
While winter skies stretch cold and
drear.
Frost flowers blossom on the panesv
The SHOWS float by and disappear.
And then across the rooftree sweils,
Borne by the winds that fall and rise'
A sound of many hurrying bells,
a sound that ebbs and peaIs and dies
And next adown the chimney creeps
The chiIdren's saint in all the lands,
And, true to all the trysts he keeps
White bearded on the hearthstone
stands.

RESULT OF FIRST COUNT
Three Money Prizes For Second
Count, Piano Contest.

Monday morning at IL a. m. the
voting in the piano contest was tenn,
porarily halted and the ballot box
handed over to o. W. Stone, w. H.
Cleland and e. p. Dyer, judges, who
made count of the ballots vot d up
to that time. This was the first
count since the contest started and
was made to determine who would
win the special prize of $40 offered
for the one who had the most votes
at this stage Of the contest. Gertrude
Barnes won the prize with Grace
Hulsey in second place and Hazel
McCheyne third. More than half
dozen other contestants are but
short ways behind n the count and
all are apparently in the race to stay
and any one of them has an oppor-
tunitY to win the grand prize.
Interest in the contest has been
awakened and will grow from now on.
Contestants are urging their friends
TO ask for and save coupons for them.
During the past week the voting
has been brisk and where short
time ago only few were asking their
friends to save votes for them, now
there are scores who, on their own
account, will work for their favorites.
Friends OF the leaders will try to help !
these contestants maintain their !
place. Friends of the contestants
who have fewer votes will try to
boost them up to and above the lead
ers. The lowest contestant by few
hours work daily can easily catch up
with the highest ones.
We are going to make this contest
worth while for every one who will
make an effort and when the votes
are counted the next time, on Jan.
10th, 1916, $40 in money will be
awarded as follows:
The lady who makes the greatest
increase in votes between the first
and second counts will receive prize
of S. in gold, and So goes to the lady
who makes the second greatest gain,
and a third prize of So to the lady
making the third greatest gain. This
makes it fair to all and the late
starters have an equal chance with
the leaders.
The following is the way the
contestants stood on the first count:

CHRISTMAS HYMNS

\ HE earliest Christmas hymn was
undoubtedly the Gloria In Ex.
celsis," which was probably one
> OF the hymns which the Chris
uans were singing in church at
christmas in Nicomedia, when
Diocletian. the emperor, ordered
the church to be closed and the
whole congregation, young and
old, burned to death.
1t is strange that while we
know that Christmas and the
Epiphany were celebrated by
the singing of hymns, no an
cient carols have come down
to us.
There is an old carol dating
from the fifteenth century which
has the Gloria In Excelsis" for.
a refrain. 1t begins:
A babe was born all Of a maid
To bring salvation unto us.
No more are We to sing afraid
Ven& creator spiritus.
One of the best carols Of the
Elizabethan period is that by
Robert Southwell, Jesuit priest
who was sent to convert Eng
land, but who was seized by her
Protestant Majesty Elizabeth
and imprisoned in the tower for
three years, and then, after suf-
fering the torture Of the rack,
was executed Feb. 2, 1894. 1t
begins:
Behold, a simple, tender babe
In freezing winter night;
In homely manger trembling lies,
Alas. a piteous sightl
During the protectorate Of o.
iver Cromwell the observance
of Christmas was forbidden,
and yet there is Christmas
carol from the Puritan pen of
George Wither, who was en-.
riched and promoted by Crom-
we'll and thrown into prison by
Charles. 1t begins:

Montgomery was born of Mora. |
Wan parents and dedicated to
the ministry, but he took up

came eminent In general lit
erature as well as in poetry.
Paul Gerhardt, to whom we
are indebted for the Easter
hymn. Jesus Lives" has also
given us a spirited Christmas
carol beginning "All my heart
this night rejoices."
In the midst of the warlike
strife between King Charles
and his parliament In the year
1929 John Milton found both
leisure and repose to write his
hymn, ION the Morning of the
Nativity" In which there are
references to the dis
turbed condition Of things at
that time-for example: |
No war or battle sound
Was heard the world around.
