Fasting at Christmas.

When Cromwell ruled England he is sued an edict against all festivities at Christmas The festival was altogether abolished. and the display of holly and mistletoe and other ernblems of the happy time held to be seditlous.
 In 1644 the Long parliament com handed that Christmas day should be observed as Il strict fast, when all peo- ple should think over and deplore the great sin of which they and their fore fathers had been guilty i'll making merry at that season.
 This act so provoked the people that on the following natal day the law was violently resisted in many places Though these scenes were disgraceful they served their purpose ard put all end t9 an unjust order.
 When Charles H regained the throne tic popu,ace once more made Christ mas time of rejoicing

 Sing while tie sun dies in the west; I hear your weary. sleepy sigh
 As Mary heard his on her breast. And in the after years T think,
 When he was treadiag sorrows way And held the bitter cup to drink
 She brooded oa the happy day When he ran singing through the room And found hundred things to do To drive away all chance of gloom And was little boy like you So drop your toys and let us sing
 The songs that heart and home have

 And life is work and play and rest And Mary.s was tAe mother heart. A heart ef love al far and fine. That into tender tArobs could start For just q little boy like mine Across the years l reach to her

BATH AS AID TO BEAUTY
Various Preparations That Add to the
Pleasure and Usefulness of
"the Tub"

Lives there a woman who does not
want a luxurious bath with something
IN it that leaves the skin soft, smooth,
white and scented? If SO, she makes
q great mistake, for there is nothing
more potent for beauty purposes than
the all-over warm bath. When ii has
something sweet in it-something you
know is going to improve your looks
1t acts like a charm, for both the
senses and the Imagination count
with beautifying tricks.
Common oatmeal, the coarse, cheap
sort that is bought In bulk, and bran
are materials any home that is not in
the wilderness can have and with the
use of either one of these a bath that
is reviving to both looks and nerves
can be had for less than five cents.
Either medium is put in a cheesecloth
bag four or six inches square, the fill
Ing rather loose than packed, and one
of these, or more as liked, is agitated
In the warm water until it looks a
little thick and milky.
Oatmeal used in this way makes
q specially delightful bath, definitely
whitening to the skin after a while
and imparting to 1t a satin softness
and the most subtle fragrance. The
bran is a shade less useful. but a bath
with it leaves the sense Of delicious
cleanliness.
For whitening and softening the
face skin, boil two ounces of pearl bar
ley in a quart of water, strain and
after taking off the soil apply this tc
the flesh with little pattings and sous
ings as Sc the skin were being rinsed

Disappearing Island.

The most famous disappearing island
in the middle ages was the island Of
st. Brendan. The saint for whom it
was named was an Irish worthy, who
is said to have sailed. with a number
of monks, in search of a tabled para
disc and to have landed on an island
in midocean. st. Brendan's was be-
lieved to be visible at times from the
west coast of Ireland, but 1t always
disappeared when explorers were sent
out in search of 1t. When n of the
Portuguese kings coded the Canary
islands to the Castilian crown the
treaty was reported to have included
st. Brendan's, which was described as
the island that has not yet been found.
