Ancient Christmas Custom.

Many quaint customs are observed
at Christmas time in various English
country parishes. In that of Cumnor,
in Berkshire, of which the living IS a
vicarage and the church a beautiful
specimen of an old English parocnial
edif1ce, all who pay tithes repair, af-
ter evening service on Christmas day,
to the vicarage where the vicar is
held in duty bound, by a usage cen
turtles old, to regale them with four
bushels of malt brewed into ale or
beer, two bushels of wheat baked into
bread, and half a hundred weight of
cheese. Any remnants Of this feast
are distributed among the poor of the
parish after morning prayer the next
day.

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
PIaythings for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct of
Their Society.

VIZ HILE the making of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, it has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-a
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there is a well-defiped philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct of their
raore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be yex-
perienced in later life. rs
Whether this theory of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the sOmnolent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands of nature, they played
their allotted part in the scheme of
human development.-Public Opinion.

self. Still more canny is she If she
has made mental or written notes from
time to time of various articles for
which she has heard desire expressed
by friends. Such note taking will
greatly lessen her labors.
For 1t is no light thing to choose
Christmas gifts judiciously. The
whole secret Of their acceptabflity lies
in their appropriateness. Not only
must they be appropriate to the per-
son from whom they come and to whom
they CO., but to the circumstances in
which the latter is placed. For an in
stance, there are few housekeepers
who do not welcome an addition of
fine linen to their store But if to a
housekeper who lives plainly in SIM
pie surroundings one sends a superb
lace-trimmed tea cloth or doilies that
throw all her other possessions into
the shade, there is an unsuitability
about the gift that robs it of much of
its charm.-Harper's Bazaar.

RrIna Smiles Of eIadness.

It is not so much the thought Of re-
ceiving the customary holiday gifts
which most pleases the fancy, but
rather that pleasure the heart derives
from dwelling upon joyful surprises
It may bestow upon others. To bring
a smile Of gladness upon another's
face is, indeed, a boon more precious
than a Christmas gift, and the Joy
Of bestowing can never be eQualed by
the receiving. - ra

a foreclosure could not be avoided.

Eunice married Randall Marsh.
Her heart warmed as she thought

The tears fell as Eunice reached the
fancy box she had herself covered, in
which her father had been accustomed
to store his extra clothing. Randall
himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given it to Mr.. Raj

moved some articles of apparel tender

undid it and with satisfaction noted as
it unrolled that it was new and whole.
"Why, what can this bel" she ut
