THE OLD TOYS.

80 dearl" sighed the oldest doll,
Christmas is coming, and l haven't a
single new dress! "-re@s
"A new dress.' cried the rocking
horse. What's @ new dress!
haven't even a stirrup or bride.
That's nothing said the toy
elephant. 81 have only one ear, and
as for my tail" lie looked over his
shoulder and scowled.
It's always this way before Christ
mas said the Oldest doll. I've been
here for three years; SO | know. All
Of us get battered up. Then Christ
mas brings newcomers, and on, what
airs they put on, You have been here
only year; so you don't know
4 should like TO see any one put
on airs with met exclaimed Mr.. Noah.
I'm sure | don't mind being old; it's
quite in my line. My family has a
history
ooh, don't begin to talk about your
family" said the rocking-horse.
We're all too old to be beautiful or
attractive, and soon the children wont
care for lis any more. You'll see how
it goes after Christmas"
It's very pleasant to be new" the
oldest doll remarked. II remember
when | lay under the Christmas tree
and looked up at the shining candles. >
"Yes, Christmas is a beautiful time, :
agreed the elephant. I'D give my
other ear if l could hang once more
on i Christmas tree.
That's it," said the rocking-horse.
I'VE don't mind being old, but we do
mind missing Christmas.
Just then the maid came into the
nursery, and there was no more
chance to talk, for she packed every
one into a big box The box was dark
and in a little while they all fell
asleep. They must have slept a long
time, for when they awoke they found
themselves in shabby room that had
only one big thing in it, but that was
a big, big Christmas tree!
"Oh, Christmas Good. Good!
We're going to have another Christ
mas!" cried the Oldest doll.
Some one thinks we are still good
for something" the elephant remark
ed happily.
Listen" said the rocl1ing-horse.
81 hear children in this house We
can still make some one happy at
Christmas time, and so we shall be
happy ourselves.
After all, | don't believe anyone
is ever too old or too young to make
some one else happy, said the oldest
doll.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE CROWD.

Many a lad excuses his shortcom-
ings and failings by saying the
crowd is doing it." Questioned as to
his disrespect to parents and vulgar
ity Of tongue the same response is
given. Questioned as to his laxity
in religious duties and contempt of
morality again comes the invariable
answer with the same self-satisiied
smile, the crowd is doing it.
Whatever goes wrong in his
system, according to him, must be
attributed to the crowd. What he
says to a great extent is true but
however not wholly so, for he can be
independent of that crowd if he only
has the desire, If he has a back bone
of sufficient strength.
1t is the nature Of the boy to love
to have not one but
many friends For a good game of
ball, for lively snow fight num-
Der is required and so the boy must
seek for chums if he wishes to enjoy
the finest and happiest period of his
life.
Now in his neighborhood he will
meet with boys Of many varieties.
He will meet the lad whose parents
allow him to do pretty much as he
pleases. He will meet the lad who
prides himself on his ability to lie
and who is not afraid to emphasize
his remarks with an oath and who
doesn't hesitate to repeat filthy stories
He will meet the lad who frankly
speaks disrespectfully of father and
mother and who delights to act older
than he really is; and finally he will
meet the lad who bears all the ear
marks of a really good boy, namely
generosity, squareness, piety and a
love of sports.
+ Let him join company with the first
few mentioned lads and it will not be
long before his own character will be
formed in the same fashion. He may
remain pure and good but the nature
of a boy is very plastic and frequent
association with bad company will
work havoc with his soul and charac
ICl. DuI ISI IT'LL oCCh INC COMPANY vi
generous, square and good chums and
he will unconsciously imbibe their
good qualities and experience that
supreme happiness which is the bless
ing of only the good boy.
1t is sad to see a splendid chap de:
light in the company OF those whose
morals are loose, whose conduct is not
above reproach for it will not be long
before he'll be saying when called to
task by father or mother, "the crowd
is doing it" Scolded for being a slave
to such set he will perhaps rejoin
1T is too late to pull out, SO I've got
to stick" A little reflection on his
part would show him it is not too late
A little good will on his part and a
rejuvenation Of his dormant moral
courage would soon set him on his feet
again and make him bid a final adieu
to the crowd"
A crowd has strong influence but
it can never force one to lose his own
self respect, his own purity, his own
integrity unless that one obeys it's die.

But you were alone in your hour Of
need
And lonely are we around this bed
Where he that could comfort is lying
dead.
Cold is the hearth when the last
spark dies,
And empty and lone are the western
skies
When the red sun sinks in his cloudy
bed,
And cold are our hearts, for the priest
is dead
We may hollow a grave in the church
yard drear,
And weep and pray by his lonely
bier,
But the altar is dark and the Mass
unsaid,
For the only priest in the Isle is
dead.
For five years after the death Of
Father James, no priest visited st.
John, now called Prince Edward
Island. But how well the people kept
the faith may be judged by the fact
that there is not a hill on the island
from which the observer cannot see
at least one church spire pointing like
a white finger toward the blue sky
And not a land in the old or new
world has given larger quota OF
young men and women to the service
OF God in holy religion.

SOME PEPPER DISHES.

Another point in favor of the pep
per is that 1t can be used both raw or
cooked. AS an addition TO salad, it
is constantly growing in favor. owing
not only to its delicate eflavor, but
its attractive color and the possibil-
tiles which it presents to the salad
makers knife or scissors. Many an
otherwise unattractive salad can be
made different by the addition of
strips, sections or chopped pieces Of
pepper. Pepper combines well with
sweet fruits. such as oranges or pine
apple, and also with cabbage and to-
mato.
As a container for other salads,
the pepper pod takes rank with the
tomato cup. The lower end may be
cut off neatly, the edges decorated,
and this cup be filled with other mix
lures in which the pepper pod itself
need not be eaten. One of the attrac-
tive sour salads suitable after steak
is composed of alternate sections of
orange and grapefruit striped with
cut pepper and covered with a French
dressing, to which mustard is added.
In cooked dishes there are many
