Two Christmas Gifts.

Zone year, when cash was the scar
cest thing OH this farm" a farmer said,
81 marked off small plot I'm my truck
garden, and on Christmas day l told
my boy the use Of this plot was all the
gift could afford that year. 1t was
his start toward that truck field. which
is paying his way to college"
A dollar and quarter did not seem
a very big sum to Mrs. Blank who
lives near Washington, but 1t was
what she received for some violets
sold near Christmas time, and she gave
It to her wee daughter. Before the
blooming season was over the account
had been Increased to $50. This was
several years ago. and the violet rails
ing now means many dollars year.

An Old Time Yule

0GLIMPSE of an old time cele-
bration of the Christmas season
is preserved in a diary of a
H guest of Major General William
Floyd, one of the signers Of
the Declaration of Independ-
ence, who recounts the good
cheer of his household in the
old homestead at Westernville,
N. Y, says the Evening Post Of
New York.
The festivities began Christ
mas eve, and all the family hung
up their stockings in front of
the huge kitchen fireplace. The
illumination was that of tallow
candles in silver and brass cam
dlesticks. Miss Catherine Floyd
had expected her fiance, James
Madison (as was jotted down in
the Diary. and was greatly dis
appointed at his not coming.
He sent, by way Of a Christ
mas gift, full length LIKENESS
Of General George Washington,
framed, which was brought by
neighbor returning home from
New York.
The merrymaking was at its
height Christmas eve, all sorts
Of then fashionable and popular
games, such as Hunt the Slip
per-" Blind Mans Buff" and
Screen Grows the Rushes o."
being INDUCED in by the young
people until 10 o'clock, at which
. hour sharply General Floyd
closed the house.
, That in keeping early hours
he was not altogether arbitrary
appears when we learn that the
breakfast Christmas morning
; was at early candlelight. The di-
airy says: ct was SO early, and

An Unexpected
Gift

arose Christmas morn
ing prepared for the inevitable.
He smiled to himself cynically
j as he inserted himself into his
"Other" trousers and thought of
how he would go in to unwrap
the things done up in tissue pa
per and labeled "FOr George"
He knew. that he would find a
good many old friends among
the packages.
There would be the usual Wild
~ embroidered slippers, an i'm
possible necktie or so, two or
three pairs of suspenders, be-
cause he always wears q belt;
box Of cheap cigars with a
nifty Spanish senorita sitting on
the lid, the same as a reform
mayor; another matchbox to add
to his collection, full dress
shirt shield to remind him Of
the old days when he used to
wear his dress suit occasionally.
"Why can't the women folks
around a house forget a few of
these things man gets each
year and let him take the
money and get himself some
thing that he really wants?"
he thought to himself. "a fur
lined overcoat, for instance;
but, ah, no! They wouldn't
stand for anything like that"
He had mentioned wanting q
new Overcoat early In the fall,
but the missus had ridiculed
the idea. And when he brought
home that set of books he'd
been wanting the whole family
jumped on him and abused him.
He started In to unite his
packages.
In a few minutes he found
himself unwrapping an extreme
" large bundle. This was some
thing out Of the ordinary. oh,
it must be a silk dressing gown.
How he hated such things!
But it wasn't.
It was his fur lined overcoatl
Maybe he didn't feel cheap or
anything then! What cad
what crab he had been! He'd
even thought Of overlooking that
jewelry the wife wanted just
because she had made such
fuss when he spoke Of buying
new overcoat. And here 1t
was, all because she wanted to
surprise him. Wasn't WHEY the
all right girl, though? Shed
probably saved up the money
out Of her allowance, probably
had done without a whole lot
of things she wanted. Well. he
was glad he hadn't been cheap
skate and cut down her Christ
mas list anyhow.
Meanwhile Mrs. Upper was
standing of enjoying Tupper's
delight over his new coat
Were you surprised?" she
asked him. "You know ! was
so afraid the tailor might let
the cat out Of the bag by send
ing I'm bill, because I ordered
1t fully a month ago. But he
was real nice about it-said he
wouldn't send the bill to you
until after Christmas. Wasn't

china's Dried Psrsimmons.

China has developed seedless per.
simmon of exquisite flavor for drying
purposes. The dried persimmon is
said to resemble dried fg In looks
and taste and Is heavily coated with
a layer of fine grape sugar. When the
fruit is ripe. but before 1t begins to
soften, the peeling is stripped of. and
the fruit is hung on sticks to dry In
the sun and wind. The sticks used are
strips of bamboo pierced through the
center of the persimmon. Several
weeks are devoted to the drying proc
ess, after which the persimmons are
covered with mating and allowed to
cure, during which process the grape
sugar is formed.
