APPROPRIATE GIFTS

1t is evident that this year as usual the spirit of phil
antrophy will find large expression in the giving Of
Christmas cheer
Next to the gifts that brighten the homes Of our
friends those given to charity important to consider
very carefully.
Too many people give indiscriminately, without the
thought that makes gift appropriate or charity help
full.
In careless giving people mean well enough, but so
did the committee which sent $4,000 worth Of fireworks
to the Irish famine sufferers
Still others give things of value meaning what
ever. An instance of this was furnished by public
gathering in New York where of the speakers called
attention to the sufferers from prolonged strike and
suggested the advisabilty of giving them something
One of the sympathetic audience moved that "we give
them three cheers"
By all means Christmas gifts for friends should be
selected with reference to their appropriateness and
utility. They should be fitting above all else.
You have money for charity giving?
Then pass the things you have-the books you have
read the unhung picture the duplicate present the scarf
or gloves you do not need the musical instrument you
have stored away-anyhing by which you may enrich or
comfort or please others without mpovershng yourself
These things have yielded you their best iavor let
them carry to others human loves rich aroma.

INDIA THE TREASURE HOUSE

story in todays paper dealing with the great ac-,
emulation of gold now in this country gives the United
States credit with having in her vaults onefouh of the
entire quantity of gold in the world The dispatch says
this amount is about $226O00000O, which would make
the total amount of gold in evidence about $9OOOOOOOOO
This total is probably too low as the generally accepted
amount of gold in existence is $13OOOOOOOOO state
ment made by one who had spent some years in looking
into the subject places the total amount of gold taken
from the earth by man at above $20,000,OOOOOO.
The authority estimates that fully one-hird of
this is in hiding lost His estimates also credits India
with having gold than any other country owing to
the fact that it is literally the grave yard of that metal
the Hindu being mser so far as the yellow metal is
