MARY'S DOLL

| "1ht v Will
There was NO difference between
Christmas night and amy other might
at Marys home, excepting that her
father and big brother rturneed from
the little town later than usual and iii
possible, drunken than usual. But
this year it was different, Mary had
been going to school down i'm the
valley and had seen every Friday af-
ternoon the dolls of other little girls
with mothers to plan and make their
dollies clothes and decorate their
Christmas trees. Mary wanted doll
for Christmas. She asked her father
repeatedly but his only answer had
been a grunt. Asking her brother al
80 was futile for he would answer
with "Run-along-now, dont-bother, !"
and at last one noon she timidly told
her teacher, Miss Smith, of her
TROUBLES and wish.
Miss Smith listened to the little
story and then said kindly listen,
and l will tell you a secret; | am not
going home this Christmas but will
stay with you in the valley until the
end of the term. Christmas eve
We'll have a big tree there'n be
presents for all the school children
and candy for every one. Who knows
maybe there'll be doll for you"
Christmas eve drew near and as it
grew nearer the schoolhouse was be-
ing decorated. The day before Christ-
mas Mary was allowed to stay and
help Miss Smith decorate the great
pine.
Mary was at the schoolhouse early
wearing the new blue woolen dress
her father had given her the day
before. Her present was a doll.

ECONOMY IN THE LAUNDRY
Savings May Seem Small, but Amount
to a Lot In the Course Of
Year.

Soft water for use in laundry work,
saves soap, clothing, time, energy and
money.
Buying soap by the box is more eco
nomical than buying it by the quar-
ter's worth.
Removing the soap from the box,
and piling it in such way that it
will dry, causes it to wash away less
rapidly, and therefore to last longer,
than If not dried.
Having a firm, substantial wash
bench, of height suited to the
worker, so constructed as to hold the
tubs securely in position, saves time
and energy.
A good stationary wringer, or one
which is SO made as to be clamped
securely to the tub, is a necessity.
When through using the wringer,
loosen the screws to relieve the pres.
sure on the rubber rollers; wash
clean, wipe dry and put it away
where it will keep clean until needed.
Occasionally cleaning the wringer
with kerosene, and the washing
with soapsuds, rinsing and drying,
tends to keep it in good condition.

THE ROUND TOWERS OF
IRELAND,

That these towers are today found
in connection with Christian churches
and that they bear Christian en-
blems, establishes nothing, with all
due respect to DR.. Petrie, who so
largely relies on these facts to prove
their Christian origin, as 1t is obvious
to all that, if aud when st. Patrick
and his associates took over these
towers for Christian purposes, they
would remove pagan and substitute
Christian emblcms, and use them as
bell-towers and all the other purposes
mentioned by DR.. Petrie, so that, like
that old Irish book the Senchus Nor,
and much else, they would be pagan in
origin, though that is now concealed
under a veneer Of Christianity, not
nearly SO thin as that which hides the
pagan origin of many Christian prac.
tees of today-slch as the fires on st.
Johns Eve, the generation of holy
wells, and the hope of seeing trout
in some of them (like the salmon
searched for by pagan poets), the as
pect, for the new moon, not to speak
Of November Eve and May Eve, or
even Christmas. I fancy readers Of
the Sixth Book of Virgil will readily
recall even more striking instances
Of pagan practices which the Chris
tians changed, but did not abolish. 1r
short, everything which had religious
aspect in paganism, and which wal
not essentially bad. was adopted BY
