HOW TO KEEP CHRISTMAS.
Lanom From the En(ll?h Poet* on tK
Holiday'* Ob?fn*nc?.
To learn how to keep Christmas in It
Ime spirit, one cannot do bettor than ttarn
to the English poets, old and now.
England was my England when
Old Christmas brought Its sports again,
says Sir Walter Scott, and, instead of giv
lng one little day to this festival, our moth
erland devoted 18 days to its commemora
tion.
So now has come oar joyful est feast;
Let every man be Jolly;
Each room with ivy leaves be drest
And every post with holly.
Without the door let sorrow lie,
And If for cold It hap to die,

And evermore be merry,
writes George Wither, a poet of the seven
tec nth century.
On every Christmas eve the bells of ol<
Cambridge ring out this ancient carol:
God bless you, merry gentlemen;
Let nothing you dismay.
For Jesus Christ, oar Saviour,
Was born this happy day.
As the song runs on, its burden is tha
the holy tide of Christmas must efface al
evil memories and unite men in the bond
of love and brotherhood.
Thackeray thus conveys the lesson o
Christmas:
Come wealth or want, come good or ill.
Let young and old accept their part,
And bow before the awful will,
And bear it with an honest heart
Who mines or who wins the prize
Go, lose or conquer as you can.
But If you fall or if you rise
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.
My song save this is little worth,
i I lay the weary pen aside
7And wish you health and love and mirth
As fits the solemn Christmastlde,
As fits the holy Christmas birth.
Be this, good friends, our carol stillBe
peac? on earth, be peace on earth.
To men of gentle will.
Charles Mackay's "Under the Holl;
Bough" breathes the true- Christmas spir
It by saying to all who have scorned or in
jured one another:
Lct sinned against and sinning
Forget their strife's beginning
And join in friendship now.
Be links no longer broken,
Be Bweet forgiveness spoken
Under the holly bough.
Tennyson sums up the teachings o
scores of Christmas poets when in versa
addressed to the bells be sings:
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Bing out the narrowing lust of gold.
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Bing in the thousand years of peace.
Bing in the valiant man and froe.
The larger heart, the kindlier hund,
Bing out the darkness of the land,
Bing in the Christ that Is to be.
! ?Solected.
THE CHRISTMAS HOLLY.
An Appropriate Deooration For Tbia Bet
on of Rejoicing.
A picturesque shrub especially useful a
this time of the year is the holly, with lti
tough and shining spinous leaves and iti
pretty little, full, round berries. It is thi
only plant appropriate to this happy pericx
that relic ves the dead green and monoto
nous white of the nonfloworlng plants am
vlues supposed to belong to Christmas one
the days that follow Epiphany. Like th<
mistletoe, roost of the holly exposed fo:
pale in American marts oomes from Groa
Britain, although some species of the plan
grow in the southern states.
The commercial holly, however, is cu
in Sootland and sent here in bags. It li
most valuable to work up in oombinatloi
with laurel, ivy and mistletoe into
wreaths, anchors, stars, crowns and othe:
eooleelaatical designs, while for runnlni
deoorationa?that is, long festoons ant
great sweeps of green?a few of the brlgh
fed berries wound in at regular interval
heighten the effect and relieve the eye.
The favorite manner of arranging holl;
g lor BOiO lH W lUOtic lb up tuvu afumo u?io u
1 the numerous design* appropriate to th<
| day and the season, and thus most of thi
I plant offered this year Is fashioned. Holl;
j Is not so expensive as the mistletoe and li
f more hardy and lasting. It has no tradl
[ tlon connected with It, however, and thui
| loses Its sentimental value. But to tbi
decorator, the artist,- the florist and th
dealer it is one of the best, most ornab
and suggestive plants for use at home o:
i In public places that can be selected at thi
season.?Chicago Times.
Old Christmas Customs.
One oustom that has come to us fron
across the sea is that of banging up stock
lngs on Christmas eve. Little children ar
taugnc mat su nicnuuvj uriuga ui guu> v
them through closed windows, and It 1
supposed this custom started from a tradl
tion that 8t. Nicholas used to throw purse
of money in through the windows of poo
maidens, so that they might have marriag
portions.
Howison, in his sketches of upper Can
ada, says that he met once at midnight oi
a beautiful moonlight Christmas eve ai
Indian, who was softly creeping along 01
the ground. Upon twing questioned, th
Indian motioned to him to be silent, ani
said: "We watch to see the deer kneel
This is Christmas night, and all the dee
fall upon their knees to the Great Spiri
and look np."?Selected.
Laurel and Oround Pine.
Next to the mistletoe and holly the lau
pel and ground pine are most favored, th
former's glossy leaves and green berrle
suggestive of good cheer and always form
lng an offeotive background when gay bei
ries or mosses are used in addition. Th
ground pine colls easily and gracefull;
Into wreaths and is invaluable for twinini
about staircases or pillars or for using I:
decoration on a large scale when bough
of spruce, hemlock and oedar are als
much in vogue.?St. Louis Republic.
Paris Christina* Confections.
Parisian confeotioners and florists decc
rate their shops with some effort at eym bol
ism on the fete days of the year. Las
Christmas Inn bono lores of donkeys, wit
panels of infant dolls, were displayed. Th
favorite cake of this holiday is almond
thinly made aud covered with figure
Plum oake is seen in the north of Franc
during the holidays. Another oak(
"l'enfant Jesus," out out in the form of
ohild, Is very popular with the children. Exchange.
ChrljtmM Song.
Why d( bells for Christmas ring?
Why di little children sing?
Onoe n lovely shining star
Been by shepherds from afar
Gently moved until its light
gpr Made a manger'a cradle bright.
There a darling baby lay
Pillowed soft upon the hay,
And its mother sang and smiled,
"This is Christ, the holy child."
Therefore bells for Christmas ring |
Therefore little children sing.

Dnce on a time I- knew a man
Who said it didn't pay
To advertise tbe goods be bad
To sell or trade away.
To prove that he was off bis base
And make him clearly pee _
[ gave him half a page of space
And let him have it free.
Tt almost scared bim into tits
To see himself displajecf
As J displayed bim, but he felt
Its influence on bis trade.
[ kept it up. His business boomed.
Tbe customers swooped down
[Tpon his store until he had
The biggest rush in town.
One day I went around to call i
And found bim on the run, OJ
With people waiting for their turn
When tborie ahead were done.
1 Well, well!" I cried, in great delight
To see things boom that way.
" Don't advertising pay, old man?
What have you got to say? "
[ thought he'd like my work eo much
And think my plan to nice

But pay me double price.
And did be do it^ Listen, please.

And vigorously said:
