NarrpnaI Anthem.

By law there is no such thing as a
national anthem" in this country
Congress has never voted upon that
subject. But by popular acceptation
the "Star Spangled Banner" has be-
come to all intents and purposes the
national anthem. America" is also
very close to the hearts OF all real
Americans and may well be called the
national hymn.-New York American.

INTERESTING SOURCES.
How Some of Our commonest Fabrics
Were Named,

Calico used to come from Calcutta,
India. Sailors would present their
sweethearts with a pattern of calico
and expect the lady to be wearing the
same dress when they returned from
their next trip, three years later. 1t
cotton weaver turns out calico that
hardly lasts three moIiths.
Satin came from Zaytoun, China,
damask from Damascus. BaiZe could
only be properly made in Baza, Spain.
Cambria was a French importation,
and muslin was made OF hand looms
at Mosul, Asia. The valley of Kash-
mir, in India, sent us Himalaya cash
mere thai Yankee ingenuity can never
initiate.
Serge got its name from a Spanish
word, verge, and jersey cloth was first
called serzey. Foreign countries now
buy their fabrics from us to a great
extent, and we feel such pride in goods
made in America that we are ashamed
to sigh for the real bona fide article
of grandma's day.
Perhaps, put away in camphor and
moth balls, you treasure "a cashmere
Paisley shawl, or in a lavender scent
ed chest there rests pure Laon lawn
imported by your great-uncle from
Laon, France. Let them stay in their
p~ackings. All the secrets of dyeing and
weaving our tradesmen have master
ed, and living is twice as easy for
women today because of it. The old
colors wore well, and the old weaves
lasted wonderfully-but, oh, how love
ly the new things are!

Some Christmas
Beliefs

Holly berries possess and give won
derful power when worn in the shape
of a wreath, which must be made In
imitation of the sacred crown of thorns
wearer must go alone at midnight on
Christmas and sit in a church in the
dark, according to al ancient belief.
Second sight will then come to him,
and into the church will file those of
his friends who will die during the
coming year. Worn on Christmas eve
the holly wreath will evoke visions of
spirit forms coming in the air to sing
their Noel songs, and all the beasts will
be seer to kneel down In worship. If
preserved for a year the crown will
give the owner safety from violence.
In some parts of England it is believed
that unless every bit of holly be re-
moved from the house by Twelfth
Night some Ill luck will ONE. Mince
pies can also bring luck, but only one
must be offered and eaten in the house.
The one accepted and eaten will In
sure to the eater a portion of good
luck on a day to come in the ensuing
year. To eat two would spoil the luck,
as if three be eaten on Christmas In
one house i'll luck will follow. If the
pies crust be in the shape of a manger
0he first mince pies ever made had
crusts of this shape, then the luck is
better. To represent the manger strips
of pastry used to be laid crosswise
over the pie.
The same power as the bride cake is
possessed by the Yule cake on Christ
mas night. and If a maiden place a
biece of it under her pillow on Christ
mas night she will dream of her future
husband. A portion of the cake should
be kept for the next year, as it brings
luck to the house.
If one would have a successful year
he or she must again partake of the
plum pudding on New Years day.

Powder Your Nose?

Applying face powder has become an
art, and there isn't n woman in a
hundred who understands how to use
powder properly. She either puts on
too much or not enough, you see.
Usually she uses too little, and then
she does not know how to remove
it so that The effect remains without
the powder showing.
First have the face perfectly clean
and choose a powder that suits the tint
of the natural skin. After these i'm
portant points have been observed
dust the powder over the face with a
generous hand, using a piece of alb
sorbent cotton in preference to a pow
der puff. This is more sanitary and
better for the skin.
Do not forget to powder the neck,
ears and eyelids. Very few women,
you know, ever think of applying pow
der to the eyelids. But when they are
neglected the face looks queer and the
eyelids become too prominent. Then
with the finger tips gently manipulate
the face, rubbing the powder in, not
rubbing it off, as most women do. Rub
under the eyes and up close to the hair,
and for the eyebrows and eyelashes
use a small brush. The face will look
smooth, and the powder will remain on
a long time if this method is pursued.

Jessie, and they all thought that a
fine idea.
So six little bundles wrapped In It's

were tied on the door handle of the
little girls house, and Marion rang the
bell. And before they could scamper
away the door opened, and there stood
the little girls mother smiling down
at them.

"Polly wants to see you"
So six bashfully smiling little girls
trooped into the sunny front room
where little lame Polly sat in an arm
chair by the window. There was a
red geranium blooming in a pot, and a
canary was singing in a cage over
head.
Then Mrs. Ray brought In the bunch
of packages the children had brought,
and they all watched Polly while she
opened them, and each one cried, "Mer-
ry Christmas, Polly, dearl" when she
opened their package, and when she
found the bedstead they all cried

cried over her dear little presents, and
then Mrs. Ray said that Polly had
something for them-she had watched
them going past each day and wanted
to know them so much. Then Mrs. Ray
brought out for Christmas gifts for the
girls six of the dearest kittens, each
one with a bow of red ribbon around
its neck. There were three black one
and three gray ones, and there was one
white one left, which was to be Polfy's
own.
And when Christmas was over the
little girls formed a sewing club. They
called 1t the Kitten club, and they met
each time at Polly's house; and then a
wonderful thing happened. A great
doctor came to see Polly, and he said
that he could make her well.

Bobby didn't need any new toys. Be-

Just then there came a ring at the

the first carrying a pair of roller skates
in one hand and q pair of ice skates In
the other. Sadie was holding two love

"See, Bobby, Santa Claus brought me

Bobby hung his head. 81 didn't get

Jimmy drew a long breath and held

I'm more used to going without

enough for me, Bobby; you take one"
Bobby began to cry at his playmate's
generosity, and Laura did the same

The christmas Peal
by ilAIdsdT PRESCOTT SPOFFORD


CWINGING across the belfry
~ tower
Inc bells rang backward all the
hour.
They rang, they reeled, they rushed.
they reared;
Their tongues tumultaous music
poured.
The old walls rocked; the peals out
swept;
Far up the steep their echoes leaped,
Soaring and sparkling till they
burst
Like bubbles round the topmost horn
That reddens to the hint of morn,
That halts some trembling star the
first,
And all the realms of ice and frost
From field to field those joy bells
tossed.
They answered from their airy
height;
They thrilled; they loosed their
bands for fight;
They knew that it was Christmas
night.
Where awful absences of sound
The gorge in deaths dumb rigor
bound,
Below and deep within the wood,
MINDLESS and weird the black pines
stood.
The iron boughs slow swaying rose
And fell and shook their sifted
SHOWS
And stirred in every stem and
branch
To the wild music in the air
From far lone upper regions where
Loose plunged the silver avalanche.
All up and down the valley side
These iron boughs swayed far and
wide.
They heard the cry along the
height;
They poised in time with that glad
flight;
They knew that it was Christmas
night.
You who with quickening throbs
shall mark
Such swells and falls swim on the
dark
As crisp as if the clustered rout
In starry depths sprang Ginning
out,
As if the Pleiades should sing,
Iyra should touch her tenderesr
string,
Aldeharan his spear heads clang,
Great Betelgeuse and Sirius blow
mighty horns and Fomalhaut
With wild sweet breath suspended
In.
Lew =. Yonr heartbeats with
tAose bells,
L3osen he snow clouds vibrant
cells.
Stir the vast forest on the height,
Your heartbeats answering to the
light
Flashed earthward the first Christ
mas night.

"But, Bobby, you've got both kinds
Of skates" protested Jimmy Burton
f~orlornly. Santa Claus wouldn't bring
you more skates and not leave me any
at ALL"
The Taylors' house was large and
handsome. On the other side of the
iron fence was the little red cottage
where the Burtons lived.
But now 1t was the day before Christ
mas. Everything was covered with
snow, and the three Burton children
were feeling very unhappy. First their
mother had told them that perhaps
Santa Claus might not leave them
very much this year, there were SO
many poor little children.
Poorer than We are?" asked Molly.
Mrs. Burton laughed and kissed the
little girl. "Bless your heart, baby,
we are not poor" she cried happily,
and so the three had told Bobby Tay-
lor that they were not poor.
But Bobby had laughed at them and
told them that their father worked for
his father in the store and that their
mother sewed for his mother.
1--WE cannot even have a tree this
year." Jimmy whispered to Sadie.
"That's because daddy was sick so
long, and mother said we were not to
mind. I'd rather hang up my stock
Ing" said Sadie bravely.
$50 would l." added Jimmy. And
little Molly lisped m%ournfully:
But my stockings are tho thmal,
and 1 wanted a dolly carriage, I did"
On the other side of the iron fence
Mr.. Taylor was walking to and fro
smoking his cigar. He had heard every
word that had been said, and long
after the children were asleep that
night he was talking to his wife.
That Christmas eve Santa Claus
stopped at the Taylors' chimney and
thought a long while.
Bobby Taylor lives here" said San
ia to himself. HE has so many beau
tiful toys 1 don't know what to give
him, so I'll just give some candy and
nuts and oranges and maybe a book,
and I'll give the same to his sister
Laura. All these skates and dolls and
other things 1 shall leave at the little
cottage next door,"
So he left some candy and nuts and
oranges and books for Bobby and his
sister Laura, and he passed on to the
