wood lot, must devise some other way of holding the Christmas tree in posi- ton.
 The easiest way to do this, if the tree is not too large and heavy, is to insert the trunk into the hole through the bottom of a wooden box, and either paint this box green or red or cover it with green or red paper.
 A starch box will hold up small tree perfectly, but a somewhat larger box must be chosen for one of larger growth. If. in spite of all precautions, the tree seems too heavy and is in- clined to wObble. weight the box on either side with heavy stones. Some times the box is filled with sand, the trunk planted in that, and then the wooden cover nailed in place to make all very solid.
 If one has any talent for carpentry, even of the toughest sort, an effective support can be made by mailing two pieces of wood in the shape of a square cross, holding the tree upon this and mailing cleats to both tree and support until it stands firmly.
 A very pretty effect can be obtained by covering the support of the tree and the floor directly around it with white cotton batting on which silver tinsel, called 'rain" fin most shops, has been Sprinkled. This makes the tree look as if 1t were growing in a bunch of snow glitterlng in the sun.

Fl PaSO, Tex.-Elfran Ruiz, masked and armed, was instantly killed when he attempted to rob Gee Tong, Chi nese truck gardener, who lives in the eastern suburbs of Fl PasO. Accord ing to the story told the coroner by the Jhinaman, he was preparing to retire when he heard a knock on his door. Juan Yung, another Chinaman, opened the door and was promptly knocked down. Tong ran to a rear room and grabbed his rifle. Ruiz then ran around the house. AS Ruiz neared the fence Tong ran out the back door with his rifle. At this point Ruiz fired, and the Chinaman returned the fire with his rifle.

sinuina christmas Carols.

Writing of Christmas of long ago Chambers Book of Days states Amid so many popular customs at Christmas, full of so much sweet and simple poetry, there is perhaps none more charming than that of the Christ mas carols which celebrate in joyous yet devOut strains the Nativity of the Savior. The practice appears to be as ancient as the celebration of Christ mas itself" These carols are first sung on Christmas eve. then on the moruing of Christmas Day, usually by children and youths from the choir of the parish church. The beautiful practice survives in many parts of England, and it is not wholly unknown in Canada. Tn this city, for instance, carol singing on Christmas Eve has been revived by members of the Sal vatiOn Army.
