Here are suggestions for transfer
ring the embroidery design before you
to any material:
Perhaps the easiest way is the win
dowpane' method. This Is successful
when the material IS thin, like llnen
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together and hold them up
against the glass Of a window. With n
sharp pencil draw on the material the
design. which can be easily seen
through the goods. If one-half Of the
design Is given unpin the paper and
turn the other side to the fabric.
If you have carbon paper You should
place the sheet between the fabric aud
the newspaper, The latter is Oh top.
With a sharp pencil go over the out
line of the design. The impression will
be left in fine lines and will last un.i!

Strings of red skinned apples, cut into tiny pieces convenient for birds to peck at, were a prominent feature of the decorations, and so were bacon rinds and Jumps of suet, which are good to keep warmth in the little bodies when the cold creeps under their feathered coats.
 Miss Louise, who spent most of her time in the country. studied the ways of the birds and their likings, and she knew that they are as strongly attract ed by bright colored things as are chil- dren. That is why the tree was made pretty with gay tinted berries.
 There was a large attendance, and no birds were turned away no matter how shabby their coats or disreputable their regulations. The clustering little English sparrows were welcomed with the rest, although they tried to bully the others. Even grouchy old Sir Crow was permitted to peck bit.

"A dAI an interest cenCered ln w that babe, wrapped in swad-
 ding clothes, lying in a man. ger at Bethlehem! Prophets were interested, angels were interested, the ages have been most deeply in- terested since. The shepherds had perhaps some premonition. The seventy weeks of Daniels prophecy were about fulfilled. It may be at that very time they were talking of the coming of Christ.
 Suddenly their attention was ar rested by a strange sight in the heavens. It grew brighter and took the form of an angel, and then they heard a voice announcing the birth of Christ as glad tidings for all peo- pie, not to the Jews only. Then suddenly the air was filled with an- gels singing as if they had come right out from the air.
 We know not their wonderful song, but part came to mortal ears, sGlorY to God in the highest" etc. We know not who those angels were, out we fancy they were the redeem ed. Adam was there; Eve was there. Eve, who in her maternal aarnestness declared at the birth of Ter frstborn, T have got a man rom the Lord,' hoping that that was he who should bruise the ser- oents head. Now, in the fullness of time she had come to witness the birth of the babe who was to be the Saviour of her race. David, Elijah, Moses. the patriarchs, we believe, were with the heavenly host.
 This song reveals three things:
 First.-The glorifcation of God through the incarnation. God has glory through his sast work in na- 5ure, his providence building up and tasting down nations, etc.
 In the incarnation there was spe- eiaI glory. It was glory to God in .he highest-highest, in that 1t was above all other glory, in that it ex- tended to all time and in that it wrought such wondrous good.
 Seeond.-The great results to the earth. It would result in peace. Strifes, thorns and thistles were abounding. The earth was torn and bleeding by constant contention. With Christ came peace. The result would be universal peace.
 Third.-The effect on the indiyid- ual man. "Good will toward men," from one another, from God. Out of this good will would finally spring peace on earth and glory to God in the highest.-Dr Matthew Simpson.

get attention for some time, and while waiting my turn l noticed two sadly neglected looking little boys of about six and eight years respectively stand ing very close to the counter and look ing, oh, so longingly at these same har- monicons, when suddenly one of the young saleSwomen turned sharply around and in a loud voice said, "Now, then, if you two boys don't get away from here at once I'll call the floor walker and have you arrested" At the time this sudden attack was made upon these poor little waifs I was holding in my hands two of these same mu- sical instruments, trying to decide which of the two kinds I would take.
 The larger one of the boys looked up at me with a frightened look, as if to say. "Oh we didn't mean to steal any thing when l said, "Boys, would you each like one of these harmonicons?" They said nothing, but the look of sur prise (gratitude they knew nothing of when l put one in each boys dirty lit tie hands I shall not forget to my dying day, and before you could say "Jack Robinson" they were out of the store and out of sight. turned to the young woman. saying.
