your Christmas giving.
Don't let Christmas giving
deteriorate into a trade.
Don't embarrass yourself by
giving more than you can afford.
Don't try to pay. debts or return
obligations in your Christmas
giving.
Don't give trashy things.
Many an atlic could tell strange
stories about Christmas presents.
Don't make presents which
your friends will not know
what to do with, and which
would merely encumber the
home.
1 >r?n't in ve because others ex
pect you to. Give because you
love to. If you cannot send
your heart with the gift, keep
the gift.
Don't give too bulky articles
to people who live., in small
quarters, unless you know they
need the particular things you
end them.
Don't wait until the last minute
to buy your presents, and
then, for lack of time to make
proper selections, give what
x - your better judgment condemns.
Don't decide to abstain from
giving just because you cannot
afford expensive presents. The
thougbtfulness of your gift, the
interest you take in those to
whom you give, are the principal
things. The intrinsic value
of your gift counts very little.
Don't give tnings Decause
they are cheap and make a big
show for the money. As a rule
it is a dangerous thing to pick
up a lot of all sorts of things at
a bargain sales for Christmas
presents. If yon do, there is.
always the temptation to make
inappropriate gifts. Besides

On one occasion some remarks oi
Incledon, the once famous singer
gave offense to a man vho resolved
to have "satisfaction" for hii
wrongs. Accordingly he hunted uj
Incledon the nejt afternoon, finding
him at dinner in a noted hotel. "Mr
Incledon," said the visitor, entering
the room in a towering passion,
"you have been making free with
my name in a very improper manner,
and I've come to demand satisfaction!"
After some parleying Incledon
rose and, striking a graceful
attitude in the center of the room
began to sing "Black Eyed Susan'
in nis most delightful style. Wher
he had finished the song he saic
coolly, "There, sir, that nas giver
complete satisfaction to several
thousand people, ana if you wanl
anything more I've only to saj
you're the most unreasonable felloe

( EYE WINKS. [1
1 '
' T1?ty Occur en an Average Twwrty
6 Timet Minute.
' ? The average person winks his
' eyes every three seconds that is to
" say, twenty times a minute, ot 1,200
* times in an hour. This means that
* an ordinary day's work for a pair of
eyelids is from 13,000 to 20,000
> winks.
5 A wink is accomplished in about
" one-fiftieth of a second, so qtfickly
1 that, as anybody may observe for
himself, it does not in the slightest I
degree interrupt contm'^us vision.
But the notion that wirfking is in'
tended by nature to give repose to
the eyes is a mistake, the object of
3 it being merely to keep the surface
of the sensitive little organs con1
stantly moist. The moisture, which
1 is necessary for the health of the
5 eyes, is supplied, of course, by the
tears.
For this purpose that is to say,
1 to keep the eyes continually bathed
considerable quantities of salty r
water are secreted. The water is
flowing all the time and would pour
' out over the edges of the eyelids
r were it not for an oil which is fur;
nished to prevent this. This oil is
secreted and supplied by little p
1 glands along the rims of the lids.
* There is also a tear duct, which car?
ries off the superfluous water and
gets rid of it.
. The mouth of the tear duct is plainly
vigible on the edge of the
1 lower eyelid near the inner corner |
5 of the eve. It is a small pipe, which I
| leads down into the throat, so that
when one puts into the eyes anyt
thing with a pronounced taste, like
cocaine, the flavor of it is presently
distinguishable in the mouth.
The eyelids, if closed, are absoJ
ltitely water tight. They do not ex-1
