Electricity
In Toyland

It is only recently that electricity be-
gan to play conspicuous part In the
Christmas holiday. OF all the electric
toys the little trolley car is one Of the
best. 1t gets it's power from the light
ing circuit and will run on its circular
track quite well, as we'll as its big
cousin runs in the city streets. Toy
motors and generators to run toy ma
chinery are especially interesting to
boys For girls modern doll houses are
Illuminated with tiny electric lamps.
This year Santa Claus will have in
his pack a new toy for little girls,
miniature electric range. 1t is COM
plete practical range that cooks and
bakes perfectly, the very thing for
which little girls have longed with all
their hearts. 1t is a safe plaything for
children. and when using it they not
only occupy themselves happily. but
they actually learn to cook. There is
a complete set Of utensils furnished
free, with cookbook for children writ
ten so simply that they can understand
It without difficulty. This small range
Is fifteen inches high. with six burners
and a practical little oven.

Misplaced Sympathy.

Through the busy Glasgow streets a
stalwart policeman led little child by

A motherly looking woman paused
a sudden burst of sympathy, she bent
over the child and kissed her.
"Puir wee lamb!" she breathed soft
ly. "She looks sac cauld and starved
like, and she hisnae been weshed fur
a week. Some folks Gamma be trusted

are. Whaur did We fin the wean. polls

Holland,

Holland, known as North and South
Holland. forms part Of the northern
part of the Netherlands. These prov
inces are composed of land rescued
from the sea and defended by immense
bikes. Holland was inhabited by the
Batavi in the time of Caesar. who made
league with them. 1t became part Of
Gallia Belgica and afterward Of the
kingdom Of Austria. From the tenth to
the fifteenth century it was governed
by counts under the German emperors.
Holland was at one time Dutch re-
public. 1t was created a kingdom in

Napoleon ILL.,. was declared king-Ex-

'YuIe Doughs" and Mince Pies.

The Yule doughs Qittle cakes. mince
pies and plum porridge NOW plum pud-
ding, were old especial Christmas
dishes. The first. also called Yule
babies. had their origin in Rome, where
images Of the child Jesus and the Vir.
gin Mary were sold by the bakers on
Christmas eve. The following account
of the English mince pie. as recorded
by an old traveller, will doubtless be
interesting to housewives of the pres
ent day: "Then every family against
Christmas made famous minched
pye, called Christmas pye; it Is most
learned mixture of meats. tongues,
chicken. eggs. sugar, raisins, lemon,
orange peel and various kinds Of
sricery. They also made sort Of
soup with plums, which is not at all
inferior to the pye, which is in their
language called plum porridge." Her
rick, in his account Of the ceremonies
of Christmas eve, writes:
Come guarde this night the Christmas
pye.
That the thiefe. though ne'er slie.
With his flesh hooks don't come ME
To catch 1t
From him who all alone sits there
Having his eyes still in hys care,
and a deale of nightly feare
To watch it.

1.-THE Virujn's 1lessinQ."

Every Virgin in Spain is illuminated
with taper. In Ella. near Cordova,
an image or portrait of the Virgin and
the Babe newborn hangs in well nigh
every room in every house. And why .?
Because the beautiful belief IS rooted
in those simple minds that on Christ
mas eve, before the clock strikes II,
the Virgin. bringing blessings in her
train, visits every house where she
can find an image or portrait Of her
son. And many girl kneels down in
robes of white before her humble por-
trait of the Babe and prays and hears
a rustling in the room and thinks. THE
Virgin comes; she brings me my Christ
mas eve blessing" and turns, and, 10,
it is her mother, and the Virgins
blessing is the mothers kiss!

Dow Not to Give

D HE story is told of a woman
with a great deal more money
~ than mind and her selection of
Santa Claus favors. This
daughter Of gold is busy twenty-four
hours out Of the day chasing hap
piness, though it is said she seldom
catches up with it. Her idea Of a
Christmas gift is something that costs
S.. Never mind what the something
Is so long as it represents V.
Several years ago she was particular
~ rushed at the holiday season. so she
gave less thought than usual to the
disposal Of the Christmas fives. She
was passing bookshop when limp
leather and gold copy of Omar's "Ru-
baiyat" caught her eyes. Here was an
inspiration. She would buy S. worth
Of oriental pessimistic philosophy, eX-
pressed In metrical form, for friend
who lived in hall bedroom and hadn't
a second shirt waist to her name.
Upon investigation Omar looked so
good she decided to mass her Christ
mas suggestions and spend the hun
dred dollars in fives she set aside for
gift purposes on Khayyam and his
verses. One copy went to a widowed
friend Of her girlhood who lived on a
farm in Maine and attended the lit
tie crossroads church twice on Sunday.
Omar's verses in praise Of wine and
lovemaking We're well calculated to
shock this recipient. Another copy
was mailed to seamstress with three
young robin mouths to feed and a net
income Of $12 week. The elevator
man in the apartment house where the
munificent giver lived drew one of
the limp feathers. The remainder of
the recipients were more or less ap-
propriately selected.
Picture. If you will, the widow on
the farm perusing the wine, women
and song philosophy Of the orient!
Imagine the elevator man in the depths
Of his cage porting over "a loaf Of
bread. a jug of wine and thou This
