For five\nyears every Christmas eve In good or\nbad weatber be bad come to four little\nhouses on the hill, where, indeed, his\ncoming had been as a godsend.\nWhence be came and who he might be\nnone bad been able to guess. He n .ver\nspoke in his official capacity, and no\ncitizen of Faraway had such a beard\nor figure as this man. Now his fur\ncoat, his beard and eyebrows were\nhoary with snow nnd frost. Icicles\nhung from his mustache around the\nshort clay pipe of tradition. He lowered a great sack and brushed the snow\noff lt. He bad borne It high on his\nback, with a strap at each shoulder.\nTbe sack was now about balf full of\nthings. He took out three big bundles\nand laid them on tbe table. Tbey were\nevidently for tbe widow herself, who\nquickly stepped to tbe bedside.\n\"Come children.\" she whispered, rousing tbem, \"here ls Santa Claus.\"\nThey scrambled down, rubbing their\neyes. Polly took the hands of the two\nsmall boys and led them near blm.\nPaul drew his hand away and stood\nspellbound, eyes and mouth open. He\nwatched every motion of the good\nsaint, who had come to tbat chair that\nbeld the llttle stockings. Santa Claus\nput a pair of boots on lt. Tbey were\ncooper toed, wltb gorgeous front pieces\ntit led _mrocco at the top of tlie leg.\nTbeu, as if ne bad some relish of a\nJoke, be took tbem up, looked them\nover thoughtfully and put them back\nIn the sack again, whereupon tbe boy\nPaul burst into tears. Old Santa Claus,\nslinking with silent laughter, replaced\nthem lu tbe chair quickly.\nAs if to lighten the boy's heart he\nopened a box and took out a mouth\norgan. He beld lt so the light sparkled\non Its shiny side. Then he put his pipe\nln bis pocket and began to dance and\nplay lively music. Step and tune quickened. The bulky figure was flying up\nand down above a great clatter of big\nboots, his head wagging to keep time.\nTbe oldest Children --re laughing, and\nthe boy Paul began to smile in the\nmidst of a great sob tbat shook him to\ntbe toes. The player stopped suddenly,\nstuffed the Instrument in n stocking\nand went on with his work. Presently\nbe uncovered a stick of candy long aa\na man's arm. There were spiral stripes\nof red from end to end of It. He used\nlt for a fiddle bow, whistling with terrific energy and awing tbe air. Then\nhe put shawls id tippets and boots\nand various li, packages on the other\nchairs.\nAt last be drew out of the sack a\nsheet of pasteboard, with' string attached, and hung It on tbe wall. It\nbore the simple message, rudely lettered In black, as follows:\nMery Crlsmua. And Children 1 have ths\nhonnor to remane. Yours Respec'fully\nSANDY CLAUB.\nHis work done, he swung his pack\nto his shoulders and made off as they\nbroke tbe silence with a hearty \"Tbank\nyou, Santa Claus!\"\nThey listened a moment as be went\naway with a loud and merry laugh\nsounding above the roar of the Wind.\nIt was the voice of a big and gentle\nheart, but gave no otber clew. In a\nmoment cries of delight and a rustla of\nwrappings filled the room. As on\nwings of the bitter wind, joy and good\nfortune had come to tbem and ln that\nllttle house had drifted deep aa the\n\u25a0now without\nTbe children went to their beds with\n\u25a0low feet and quick pulses. Paul begged for the sacred privilege of wearing\nhis new boots to bed, but compromised\non having them lieskie bis pillow. Tbe\nboys went to sleep at last, with all\ntheir treasures heaped about tbem.\nTom shortly rolled upon the llttle jumping jack, that broke away and butted\nhim ln the face with a loud squawk.\nIt roused the boy, wbo promptly set\nup a defense In which the stuffed ben\nlost her tail feathers and the jumping\nJack was violently put out of bed.\nWhen the mother came to see what\nhad happened order had been restored\u2014\nthe boys were both sleeping.\nIt was an odd little room under bare\nshingles above stairs. Great chests\nfilled with relics of another time nnd\ncountry sat against the walls. Here\nand there a buncb of herbs or a few\nears of corn, their bnsks braided, hung\non the bare rafters. The aroma of the\nsummer fields\u2014of peppermint, catnip\nand lobelia\u2014bannted It. Chimney and\nstovepipe tempered tbe cold. A crack\nIn the gable end let In a sift of snow\nthat bad been heaping np a lonely little\ndrift on the bare floor.

Sbe went below\nstairs to the flre. which every cold day\nwas well fed until after midnight, and\nbegan to enjoy the sight of her own\ngifts. They were a haunch of venison,\na sack of flour, a shawl and mittens.\nA small package had fallen to the floor.\nIt was neatly bound with wrappings of\nblue paper. Under tbe last layer was a\nlittle box, the words \"For Polly\" on its\ncover. It held a locket of wrought\ngold tbat outshone tbe light of the candies. Sbe touched a spring, and tbe\ncase opeued. Inside was a lock of hair\nwhite as ber own. There were three\nHues cut lu the glowing metnl, and\nshe read tbem over and over again:\nHere are silver and gold,\nThe one for a day of remembrance between thee and dishonor,\nThe other for a day of plenty between\nthee and want.\nSbe went to her bed presently, wher^\nthe girl lay sleeping, and. lifting dark\nmasses of her hair, kissed a ruddy\ncheek. Then tbe widow stood a moment, wiping her eyes.\nCHAPTER XII.\n10NG before daylight one could\nhear the slowing of the wind.\nf*f Its caravan, now reaching eastward to mldocean, was nearly\npassed. Scattered gusts hurried on, like\nweary and belated followers. Then\nsuddenly came a silence ln which one\nmight have heard the dust of their feet\nfalling, their shouts receding in the far\nwoodland. The sun rose In a clear sky\nabove the patched and ragged canopy\nof the woods\u2014a weary multitude now\nresting in the still air.\nThe children  were up looking  for\ntracks of reindeer and breaking paths\nIn the snow. Sunlight glimmered In\nfar flung jewels of tbe frost king. They\nlay deep, clinking as the foot sank lu\nthem. At tbe Vaughn home It was an\neventful day. Santa Claus\u2014well, he is\nthe great captain that leads us to the\nfarther gate of childhood and surrenders the golden key. Many waya are\nbeyond the gate, some steep and\nthorny, and some who pass lt turn\nback, with bleeding feet and wet eyes,\nbut the gate opens not again for any\nthat have passed. Tom had got the\nkey and begun to try It Santa Claus\nhad winked at him, with a snaring\neye, like that of his aunt when she had\nsugar In ber pocket, and Tom thought\nlt very foolish. The boy bad even felt\nof bis greatcoat and got a good look at\nbis boots and trousers. Moreover,\nwhen be put bis pipe away, Turn saw\nhlin take a chew of tobacco\u2014an abhorrent thing if he were to believe his\nmother.\n\"Mother,\" aaid he, \"I never knew\nSanta Claus chewed tobacco.\"\n\"Well, mebbe be waB Santa Claus'\nhired man,\" said she.\n\"Might 'a' had the toothache.\" Paul\nsuggested, for Lew Allen, who worked\nfor tbem ln tbe summer time, bad a\nhabitual toothache, relieved many times\na day by chewing tobacco.\nTom sat looking into tbe fire \u2022 moment.\nThen be spoke of a um, er Paul and\nhe bad discussed secretly.\n\"Joe Bellus be toi' me Santa Claus\nwas only somebody rigged up t' fool\nfolks an' badn't no reindeers at all.\"\nThe mother turned away, her wits\ngroping for an answer.\n\"Hadn't ought to 'a' told mother,\nTom,\" said Paul, with a llttle quiver of\nreproach and pity. \" 'Taln't so, anyway\n\u2014we know 'taln't so.\"\nHe was looking Into his mother's\nface.\n\" 'Taln't so,\" Paul repeated with unshaken e_ul_'<\u00bbui'\u00ab.    --.     ..   -  -\n\u25a0 -Mus'n't believe all ye hear,'\" said\nthe widow, who now turned to the\ndoubting Thomas.\nAnd that very moment Tom was\ncome to the last gate of childhood,\"\nwhereon are the black and necessary\nwords, \"Mus'n't believe all ye hear.\"\nTbe boys In their new boots were on\nthe track of a panther. They treed\nblm presently at tbe foot of the stairs.\n\"How'll we kill him?\" one of them\nInquired.\n\"Just walk around tbe tree once,\"\nsaid the mother, \"an' you'll scare him\nto death. Why don't ye grease your\nboots?\"\n\" 'Frald It'll take the screak out of\n'em.\" said Paul, looking down thoughtfully at his own pair.\n\"Well,\" said she, \"you'll have me\ntreed lf you keep on. No hunter would\nhave boots like that A loud foot\nmakea a still gun.\"\nTbat was her unfailing method of\ncontrol, the appeal to intelligence. Polly sat singing thoughtfully, the locket\nin her hand. She had kissed the sacred\nthing and hung It by a ribbon to her\nneck and bathed her eyes In the golden\nlight of lt and begun to feel the subtle\npathos ln Its odd message. She was\nthinking of the handsome boy who\ncame along that far May day with the\ndrove and who lately bad returned to\nbe her teacher at Llnley school. Now\nbe bad so much dignity and learning\nshe liked him not half so well and felt\nbe had no longer any care for ber. She\nblushed to tblnk bow she had wept\nover bis letter and kissed it every day\nfor weeks. Her dream was interrupted\npresently by tbe call of her brother\nTom. Having cut the frost on a window pane, he stood peering out. A\nman wus approaching in tbe uear field.\nHis figure sllowed to the boot top\nmounting bills of snow and sank out\nof sight in tbe deep hollows. It looked\nas if he were walking on a rough sen.\nIn a moment be came striding over the\ndooryard fence on a pair of snowshoes.\n\"It's Mr. Trove, the teacher,\"  said\nPolly, who quickly began to shake her\ncurls\n(To Be Continued.)\nFAIR PLAY.\nTHE TINY SCIARA.\nA Proceulon of Worms Seen Ib Hun.\n\u25a0rarr xxxid Norway.\nIn some of tbe Hungarian forests\nand In tbe pine woods of Norway there\nexists a tiny, wormilke insect called\nthe selnrn, of the genus tlpula. During the month of July or early In August they gather together In large\nnumbers, preparatory to migrating In\nsearch of food or for change of condition. When setting out on this journey they stick themselves together by\nmeans of some glutinous matter and\nform a huge serpent-like mass, often\nreaching a length of between forty and\nfifty feet and several Inches In thickness. As the sclera Is only on an average about three thirty-seconds of an\nInch ln length, with no appreciable\nbreadth whatever, the. number required\nto compose a continuous line of tbe\nsize above mentioned Is almost Incalculable. Their pace Is, of course, very\nslow, and upon meeting an obstacle,\nsuch as a stick or stone, tbey will\neither writhe over or around It sometimes breaking into two bodies for this\npurpose.\nM. Guerln-Meneville, a celebrated\nFrench naturalist, said that If tbe rear\nportion of this wonderful snakellke\nprocession be brought Into contact with\ntbe front part and a sort of circle\nformed tbe Insects will keep moving\nround In that circle for hours without\napparently noticing that they are getting no \"forrader\" on their journey. If\ntbe procession be broken In two, tbe\nportions will reunite ln a short time.\nThe Norwegian peasants, when tbey\nmeet one of these trains, will lay some\narticle of their clothing, such as a belt\nor handkerchief, on the ground In front\nof It. If the procession passes over It\nIt Is regarded as a good sign, but If it\nmakes a way round tbe reverse ls believed.\nTHE HOUSE OF LORDS\nCHECKS   IT  HAS  RECEIVED   AT   THE\nHANDS Of THE COMMONS.\nA Plea That la Reapected by Almoal\nAH Claaaee of Hen.\nThere Is an appeal tu which nearly\nall classes of men give heed\u2014let us\nbave fair play.

One of \"Mac's\"\nmost highly valued treasures is the\nFenian raid medal, which the old man\nwon in 1866, and which was received\nby the son in 1899, a few months after his father's death. Dr. MacNamara\nis an educationist of wide repute.\nFrom 1876 to 1892 he taught in the\nelementary schools of Exeter, Hvid-\ndersfiold and Bristol.

Tbls, however, ls a\nmistake. On several notable occasions\ntheir noble lordships have been paralyzed and have got very much tbe\nworst of It in stormy arguments with\nthe gentlemen of the house of commons.\nTbe flrst occasion on which this happened was wben the peers ventured to\ndiffer with the long parliament, which\nwas at the time engaged In a life aud\ndeath struggle wltb Charles I. Tbo\ncommons on tbls occasion wasted no\n.valuable time In talking, but promptly\nabolished tbe lords altogetber aud\nturned them, archbishops, dukes, belted earls and all tbe rest of the gorgeous coroneted crowd, into the street.\nThe gilded chamber was vacant.\nI For balf a dozen years or so tbe\ncountry got on without any bouse ot\nlords.\nAll the checks tbe bouse of lords\nhave received bave not been of sucb u\ndrastic nature as this, of course.\nI Various ministries, finding tbat tbe\npeers were unwilling to pnss their proposed bills, have resorted to tbe threat\nto create enough new peers to swamp\ntbe house of lords. These new peers\nwould, of course, have been pledged\nbeforehand to vote for tbe ministry\ncreating tbem.\nIn 1711 tbe prime minister of the\ndny, tbe daring and unscrupulous Viscount Bollngbroke, was anxious to, terminate tbe desolating and ruinous war\nwltb France, which had been raging\non and off for twenty years.\nTo effect this purpose be had drawn\nup the treaty of Utrecht It was necessary at tbat time tbat lords and commons should agree to a treaty before\nlt would become valid. The commons\nassented to tbe treaty, but the lords\ndeclared that they would have none\nof It and, tbat the war must go on,\nwhereupon Bollngbroke coolly but\nfirmly Informed tliem tbat, rather than\nsee himself defied by tbem, he would\ncreate a whole army of new peers tt>\nvote for the treaty.\nThe story goes that be bad a regiment of tbe Life guards paraded under\nthe windows of the bouse of lords antl\nthreatened to make every trooper Into\na noble lord lf driven to It. He did\nmake twelve new peers, and tben tbe\nlords gave In.\nThe Liberal government of 1832, with\nEarl Grey as prime minister, used tbe\nsame threat They wished to pass tbe\nflrst reform bill. The lords hated tbls\nbill bitterly.\nUntil tben they had been practically\nan oligarchy, with all the real power\nin tbelr hands. Tbe franchise bad been\nso limited tbat only rich men, and generally only the nominee of some great\nnobleman, could get into parliament.\nTbe reform bill altered tbat. It gave\nthe smaller men a chance. Tbe lords\nexpressed their deliberate Intention of\nwrecking tbe bill.\nEar! Grey retorted by extorting from\nKing William IV.-wbo didv't like reform bills, but dared not opnose the\nwish of tbe nation for fear of s revolution\u2014permission to call up to tbe\nhouse of lords as many new peers as\nsbould be necessary to carry bis bill.\nThe mere threat was enough for tbe\nlords. They bad no wish to see tbeli-\norder made cheap and ridiculous, ns\nwould have been the case bad peers\nbecome as plentiful as blackberries.\nIt used to be the custom ln the British army for all officers' commissions\nto be purchased. Tbnt ls, an officer, instead of getting Into tbe army by\nmeans of a competitive examination\nand rising by merit came straight\nfrom school, without knowing anything\nof tbe new duties be was about to assume, and bad a commission bought\nfor him. After tbat, instead of being\npromoted as a reward for his services,\nhe used to buy each promotion.\nIf he bad no money his chances of\nbeing promoted were about a thousand\nto one. The result waa that officers\nwbo had grown gray ln the service and\nfought In many battles remained subordinates all their lives, while the sons\nof wealthy families wbo bad not seen\na quarter of their service Jumped over\ntheir heads by having their way purchased up for them to be colonels and\ngenerals.\nMr. Gladstone decided to do away\nwith this purchase system. The lords\ndid not wish It to be abolished. Consequently, when Mr. Gladstone Introduced a bill to abolish purchase In the\narmy the house of lords was not disposed to give it a kind reception.\nThey threw out the bill and Imagined\ntbat tbey bad won a glorious victory.\nBut Mr. Gludstone found that Queen\nVictoria had the power to abolish purchase ln the army by ber own act If\nshe pleased. He induced the queen to-\ndo this by means of a royal warrant.\nAnd the bouse of lords could no more\nInterfere wltb a royal warrant than\nthey could knock the dome off St.\nPaul's by throwing their coronets at IU\n\u2014Pearson's London jVeeklj-j THE ADVOCATE, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nTWO POWERFUL\nJNSTANCES\nOF   ZAM-BUK'S    WONDERFUL\nHEALING.\nHere are two powerful instances\nof the varied ways in which Zam-\nBuk, the great herbal balm, is doing good throughout the Dominion.\nHave you yet enjoyed its benflt ?\nBaby Cured of Eczema.\nMrs. L.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nTHE BEAT OF THE PULSE.\nf<   Varies   Greatly   In   Different   Per.\n\u2022ons   nntl   Condltlona.\nThe pulse of women generally beats\nat a sll_btly faster rate than that of\nmen. It may be said that when a person ls at rest bis pulse, that of any\nadult may be from seventy-five to\n\u2022eighty times a minute. Greet variation\n-exists In different Individuals In rer\nspect of the number of beats. After\nexercise tbe pulse quickens because of\ntbe stimulation of the heart, and the\nsame result applies to the effects of\ntaking food. A dose of alcohol will ulso\nstimulate tbe pulse somewhat, just as\nthe use of tobacco, especially In excess,\nwill tend to bave an opposite effect-\nnamely, tbat of lowering tbe rate of\ntbe pulse, because of the depression of\nthe heart which results. In fevers and\nInflammatory diseases the pulse rate\ntends to be very much Increased nnd\nalso In respect of Its character. Instead\nof beating quietly the blood vessel In\nsuch cases exhibits a very full and\nbounding movement. On the other\nband, wbere depression exists and tbe\ntemperature of the body falls, the\npulse may be unnaturally slow and Its\ncharacter weak.. Pbyslcians are accustomed to distinguish otber characteristics ln tbe pulse, such as become valuable bints In the discovery and determination of disease. Tbe practical lesson we learn bere Is tbat where tlie\nPUlse continues for any length of time\nto have Ita beats quickened to an unnatural degree and wbere especially a\n.rise of the tempers ture or beat of the\n\/'tody accompanies these symptoms -we\nonght to suspect some kind of feverish\ncondition or other to be represented.\nTbe pulse alone forms a valuable\nenough guide to this state at the body,\nbut Its value la very much increased If\nto the Information given us by the\npulse we add tbat which the use of tbe\nthermometer supplies.\nNAME8 OF DAYS.\ni\nm.   Latin   and   Saxon   Tern\u2014i   From\nWhich The? Are Derived.\n\u2022Our names for each day are derived\nfrom the Saxons, who probably borrowed the week from some eastern\nipeople, substituting names of their\n\u2022own divinities for those of tbe classical gods, as Is easily seen when ths\nnames are tabulated:\nLatin. Sunn. English.\nDie* Soils Sun's day Sunday.\nDlea Lunae Moon's day....Monday.\nDl\u00aba Martla Tlw'a day Tueaday.\nDlea Mercuril.. Woden's day..Wednesday.\nDlea Jovla Thor'a day.... Thursday.\nDlea Venerla... Frlga's day... Friday.\nDies Batumi....Beterne'e day. Saturday.\nj' Among the ancients the belief ln ths\n'Influence of the planets upon the Ut*\n* ot men was so strong that many ln se-\n* lectlng tbelr daily ornaments  would\n* wear only tbe gem associated with the\n\\planet of tbe duy. Thus ou Sunday\n\u25a0only yellow gems snd gold should\nadorn tbe fingers. Pearls and white\nstones, excepting diamonds, belonged\nto tbe Moon day. Tuesday, day of Mars,\nclaimed rubles and all stones of fiery\nluster. Thursday, Thor's day, demanded amethysts and deep colored stones\nof sanguine tint, while Friday, dominated by Venus, reigned over the emerald, color of Jealousy, which Is love's\nshadow. Saturday, dedicated to Saturn, oldest of tbe gods,  bad for Its\n'distinctive talisman tbe most splendid\n-of  all  gems,  the  diamond.\nGIRLS ENTERING\nWOMANHOOD\nFIND BILEANS A BOON.\nMothers who have daughters just\non the critical oorderland over\nwhich the girl passes into the fuller\nlife of womanhood, will find Bileans\na great boon. They make ricii, red\nblood, and strengthen and invigorate the internal organs involved in\nthe great change. Mrs. T. Beadle,\nof Home Place, Toronto, says: \"My\ndaughter, Elsie (13), was fei ling fat\nfrom well this winter. She com\nplained of frequent headache, ana\nwas always weakly, tired and\ndrowsy. She seemed altogether\nwithout energy or strength. Each\nmorning her tongue was coated and\nher appetite failed. She was sometimes so dizzy that on stooping she\nalmost fell, and she was also troubled a great deal with constipation.\nOne single box of Bileans made a\nworld of difference in her, and so I\ncontinued to give her this remedy.\nWithin a. few weeks they built her\nup wonderfully and they are keeping her in the best of\" health.\"\nBileans also cure anaemia, green\nsickness, _ debility, sick headache\nconstipation, piles, rheumatism, sciatica, arid all liver? and kidney\n\u25a0ailments. They tone tip. the- system\nand enable it to throw off colds,\nchills, etc. All druggists and stores\nsell Bileans at SOc. a box, or obtainable from the Bilean Co., Toronto,\nfor price.    6 boxes sent foi\" $2.50.\nit is possible for a man to avoid\nattending his own wedding, but he\ncan't get out ot enacting the star\nrole at his own funeral.\nBABY'S BEST FRIEND.\nBaby's Own Tablets have saved\nmany a previous little life. There\nis no other metjicine to equal them\nfor stomnch and bowel troubles,\ncolds, simple fevers-or teething troubles. They are good for children of\nall ages\u2014from the new born babe to\nthe well grown child. And the mother has the guaraintee of a government analyst that they do not contain opiates or harmful drugs. Mrs.\nJohn C. Gildart, Prosser Brook, N.\nB., says: \"I have proved that\nBaby's Own Tablets are a great help\nto mothers, and are baby's best\nfriend. They act almost like magic\nand I will always keep them in the\nhouse.\" The Tablets are sold by\ndruggists or by mail at 25 cents a\nbox from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,  Brockville, Ont.\nThe market reports announce CT*at\nmoney is steady. Especially in its\noutgo,\n..Rheumatism Will Succumb to South\nAmerican Rheumatic Cure because it\ngoes risht to the seat of the trouble\nand removes the cause. Many so-called\ncures but deaden pain temporarily only\nto have it return nffain with doubled\nviolence. Not so with this great remedy.\nIt eradicates from the system the last\nvestige of the disease ,'iiifl its cures are\npermanent.\u201474.\nAlmost 7  per  cent  of  the  cost of\noperating a railway is for coal.\nMinard's Liniment Cures Colds, etc.\nBla Time For Drinking:.\nIn the days of river driving on the\nKennebec river in Maine old Uncle Jim\nGilbert was a well known character.\nHe was hale and hearty and had an\n\u25a0enormous appetite.   The men used to i\ncome down the river with a drive of |\ntogs and get a meal at a tavern In\nAugusta.    One morning, arriving late ,\nand with appetite sharpened, old Dn- |\ncle Jim sat down with the flrst set of\nmen and ate diligently during the time\nthese men made a meal.   A new set of\nmen  came  and  still   Uncle  Joe  ate\nateadlly.    A third set came, and the\ntavern keeper, becoming alarmed, tried\nto hurry up the protracted meal by\n-saying, \"Better drink your coffee, un-\n' cle, and have another cup!\"\n\"No,\" said the old man.    \"I never\ndrink till I'm half through!\"\nBetara .t the Prodlaral.\n\"*T do play In tough luck sometimes,\"\n\u25a0declared the Impecunious girl.    \"Last\nnlgbt,  you remember how It rained.\n. I happened to be In the neighborhood\nof some friends of mine whom I had\nnot seen since the last hard rain.   I\n-concluded to call.   Before tbey asked\nme In tbey grabbed the umbrella I\n. carried, hurried across the room with\nI It, placed It In a closet there and lock-\n-ir-d the door on lt.\n\"'Thank   heaven.'  they  cried,    'At\ntastl    Our long lost umbrella!'\"\nDelightful Impudence.\nMelba admires the independence of\nher fellow Australians, but on one occasion she had rather a pronounced\nexperience with what she calls their\n\"delightful impudence.\" Sbe had\nwaited a long time for dinner at her\nhotel in a large mining town and\nfinally mado sharp complaint to the\nvaiter. \"Well, mn am,\" said he coolly, **S*ou might sing us a song to pass\nthe time.\" This to a vocalist who one\nevening received $5,000 from William\n'Waldorf Astor for singing four songs\n-.u his London mansion i\nne Botcher of the Terror.\nThe world only knows Danton as th*\nembodiment of brutal ferocity, or, as\nhe liked to call lt, \"audacity.\" There\nhas, however, just been published for\ntbe flrst time the Inventory of the sal*\nof his household effects after his execution, which throws some of the better\nlight of simplicity npon the charactsr\nof the butcher of the Terror. Whatever\nelse he may bave been, Danton appears\nto have been no money making revolutionist. He lived with bis father-in-law\nIn a poor sort of honse at Sevres, and\nhia effects are set down at three cows,\ntwo pigs, twenty fowls, twenty-one\npairs of pigeons, some bacon, half a\ndoom hams, an old coach, \"a stud,\"\nconsisting of an old donkey, and furniture that the sale pries showed to bs\npoor.

In appearance the ameer\nIs a broad, rather clumsily built man,\nwith  a  tendency  te  stoutness.\u2014Qj*y\nThe Poet and the Beauty.\nOne of the finest bouses in southern\nEngland ls Penhurst Place, the birthplace of Sir Philip Sidney. Under the\ntrees of Its park Edmund Waller paid\nhis addresses to the haughty Lady\nDorothea, whom he celebrated as Such-\narlssa. But the heart of Lady Dorothea\nSidney\u2014who was the most beautiful\nwoman of her time\u2014was untouched by\nWaller's amatory verses, and she rejected tbe poet In favor of tbe Earl of\nSunderland. Many years afterward tbe\ncountess met Waller and, reminding\nbim sentimentally of tbe old days at\nPenhurst, asked bim wben be would\nagain write verses about her. \"When,\nmadam,\" said the poet rudely, \"you are\naa young and as handsome as you were\nthen.\"\nProperties! of Chlorine.\nChlorine Is a greenish yellow gas\nwith a disagreeable smell. It Is soluble in cold water, only slightly soluble\nIn hot water. It destroys color in wet\nfabrics and ls also a strong disinfectant Both of these properties are said\nto be due to Its power of decomposing\nhydrogen compounds, such as water,\ncombining with tbe hydrogen and liberating oxygen, wbicb In a nascent state\noxidizes coloring matter, rendering It\ncolorless. As a disinfectant it oxidizes\nthe germs of disease and Is in consequence largely used for this purpose.\nA Royal Collection.\nAccording to the Figaro, King Haakon and Queen Maud of Norway ar*\nmaking a novel collection, consisting\nof newspaper cuttings, divided into\ntwo albums\u2014true and false.

Occasionally we find'\na perfect Home, where '.proportion was\nnot thought of, but instead the home-\nmaker had an inborn sense of fltness\nwhich stood her ln good stead.\nProportion, ln-decoration, is not very\ntangible; most of us can understand it\nas regards size, but fctoportlon ln color\nis more difficult to grasp.\nMost of us know. If we only stop to\nthink about it, that a large, heavy\nchair should not be placed beside a\nsmall, dainty table, and vice versa;\nthat a small room should not be crowded with massive pieces of furniture, and\nthat the walls of a low-celllnged room\nshould not be divided or broken four\nor five times.\nProportion in ornamentation ls another Important point to be considered,\nand to determine Just how much ornamentation and how much plain surface\ngoes to make the best sum-total is a\ndifficult proposition. A small box is\nricher with part of it carved and tho\nrest left plain for contrast than if it\nwere carved all over. And this ls true\nof the treatment of walls and ceilings,\nfor costliness and elaboration require\na plain setting to appear to the best advantage.\nProportion, in color, Is the hardest to\ndetermine, and requires a trained eye\nand sensitive feelings.     Those wbo do\nnot possess these two things would do\nwell to put themselves In the hands of \u00bb.\ngood decorator or trusty friend when\nchoosing their color scheme. .\nIt is hard to know Just how much or\none color goes best with another. We>\nall know that there should only be a\nlimited amount of a strong, heavy color\nIn a room, but Just how much that limited amount ls few can estimate correctly.\nSometimes a color when put with another detracts from It; others set It off.\nSo it is important to choose colors or\nshades that are mutually advantageous.\nGreen and blue, when in the right proportion, are a perfect combination. But.\noften we see the two together where:',\nthe green Is too strong and the blua.-\nlooks weak and lnslpib\\ or where thei\nblue Is too intense, so that the greem\nlooks sick and dirty. __\nThe Intensity and consplcuousness ot\na wall or background should be governed by the furniture and hangings. If m\nroom Is to have heavy furniture, upholstered ln plain dark materials ana\nheavy, dark curtains and portieres, the\nwalls may be somewhat gay; but if thet\nroom is to be furnished daintily ana\nwith light, figured materials, the wallas\nshould be subdued.\nThe home-maker who possesses tne\nsense of proportion, combined with a\nsense of fitness and suitability, cannot\ngo far wrong; and her home should hava\na feeling of rest, of comfort, which is'\none of the surest roads to health and\nhappiness. DOROTHY TUKE.\nWHAT DO PEOPLE READ IN\nLIBRARIES.?\nJN tne reading room of tho publio\nlibrary in a certain city there are\nfive large tables. The other night\nthe Impertinent One was curious\nenough to examine each of these\ntables, to see what books her neighbors had left there. The library was\nnearly empty, and she had plenty of\nopportunity for observation.\nOn table No. 1 there lay six books.\nTwo of these were late novels and\nthree others light or sensational Action a few years older. But quite In\nthe- corner, looking rather ashamed of\nthe company he was found in, lay dear\neld Mr. Pickwick, and as the Impertinent One picked him reverentlyJ up a\nstrip of paper covered with jGreek\ncharacters fell out.\nThe Impertinent One thanked heaven\nfor one scholar and passed on.\nTable No. 2 hnd evidently been occupied by a student preparing his next\nday's work. There wero literal translations of Latin, French and German\nmasters and an \"Introduction to Plane\nTrigonometry.\"\nBut the only open book was \"The\nBab Ballads,\" open at the tale of Alice\nBrown, the' robber's lovely daughter,\nand the Impertinent One smiled all the\nway across to Table No. 3;\nTwo persons of widely varying tastes\nbad recently used this table. On ono\n\u2014de were three detective storieB and a\ntreatise on \"Camp Life in the \"Woods\";\non the other were two \"General Histories,\" a \"History of Natural Philosophy\" and a translation of the Koran,\nwhich last stood at tho boundary line,\nand rested confident^ against the most\nlurid of the detective stories.\nTable No. 4 was exclusively poetical.\nKeats, Wordsworth, Tennyson and\nSpenser here held sway, and as the\nImpertinent One glanced at them a\npiece Of paper fluttered to the ground.\nAs she picked it up she read on It\n\"Oh, heart of poesie and soul of flre!\"\nThe earnest-eyed young man at tbe\nend of the table claimed It at Just this\nminutes: \"I'm sure the next line ended\nIn 'lyre,' \" muttered the Impertinent\nOne to herself, as she hastened away.\nAt Table No. 6 more light novels\ncaught her sight at one side, but the\nother looked strangely familiar. There\nwere a volume of \"Ktng Lear,\" a biography of Heine and Henry George's\n\"The Land Question,\" and a copy of\nthat dear poet who accompanies the\nImpertinent One wherever she goes.\nThen, all at once, she realized with a\nstart that she was back to her own\ntable again, and that the fifth volume,\non which her hand rested, was the\ncopy of Poe she had been reading before' she left.\n\"Well,\" remarked the Impertinent\nOne, settling down to a half hour of\nsolid enjoyment, \"they have better taste\ntban I thought they bad I\"\ni\n\u00abr*\nAS OTHERS SEE US\nBURNS to the contrary notwithstanding, I don't believe there\nare many of us lying awake at\nnights pining for a chance to see\nourselves that way.\nIt wouldn't add materially to Mrs.\nJones' happiness when she started\ndown the street, filled with the conviction that her new fall costume was\na dream, If she could know that Mrs.\nBrown, who was watching her\nthrough her sitting room window, had\ndecided that her skirt hung badly and\nber bat waB atrociously unbecoming.\nIt is never soothing for the mother,\nwho has spent ten years trying to put\ninto practice the theories she imbibed\nin her college days for the development of tbe Infant mind, to be told\nthat her Jimmy and Sally are the\nslowest children of comprehension In\nthe primary grade.\nEavesdroppers never hear good of\nthemselves, but there ls something\nalmost pitlfbl about the Jar that comes\nto the Innocent and involuntary eavesdropper who hears her best friend's\nopinion of herself.\n\"That's an awfully flattered picture\nof J.,\" remarked a friend of this type\nto J.'s sister, \"but, of course, I\nwouldn't tell her so,\" and J., passing\nthe door at this Inopportune moment,\npitches the words and spends an un-\n' **--fortable quarter of an hour.\n...he had been a llttle afraid at flrst\nthat the photograph was fiatterlng,\nbut every one had assured her that lt\nwas merely an'excellent likeness of\nher at her best. Now she ls sure lt\nwas all said to please her, and there is\na reAectlon upon her Intellect, as well\nas upon her looks.\nWho Is there among Us who doesn't\nbegin to tremble at the first sound of\nthe words: \"Now, you mustn't be offended with me for saying it, and please\nremember I only came to you as a\nfriend.\" It Is only the individual of\nrare serenity who can refrain on such\nan occasion from repeating King Louis'\nwhimsical cry: \"God protect me from\nmy friends\u2014I can take care of my enemies myself.\"\nNow, of course, there are times when\n\"speaking out\" Is necessary. If the\nworkers In the world were not told of\nthe faults In the wares they carry to\ntheir special markets they would never\nknow  now  to Improve.    If the young\n\u00a7Irle Just starting out In life could never\ne 'vnrued of breaker.-; ahead by those\nwhi   are wiser and more  experienced,\ntlm o would be more tears shed than\nthem are already.\na word to the wise ls sufficient, and\nwhen we have sufficient wisdom to mko\nthe timely hint or suggestion for what\nit Is worth and profit by It, without\ngetting our feelings hurt, all well and\n(food. But the vast majority 3f foolish\nmortals are better contented to jog\nalong through dally happenings, not-\nseeing themselves as others see them..\nSELF-WORSHIP\nIT'S queer, isn't It, how each one of\nus adores his own personal selt\nmuch more than any other person\nor any other thing In the world? We\nare all of us self-centred; we see everything ln relation to ourselves, so much\nso, Indeed, that lt is often very hard for\nus to \"put ourselves ln somebody else's\nplace.\"\nIf some one else says an unkind word\nto us and also to the person with us,\nwe have a certain amount of sympathy\nfor the person who Is with us, but nothing like the sympathy we have for ourselves. Indeed, half the sorrow In the.\nworld is caused by excessive sympathy\nfor one's self, whereas, lf we had looked\nout and seen how many other people-\nwere suffering from much keener sorrows, we should really have considered,\nourselves blessed.\nOf course, there ls really some excuse\nfor us, for do we not see ourselves as\nthe centres of the universe?   Does not\nthe sun rise on one side of us and set\non the other side, and when we move do -\nnot the sun. moon and all the planets \u25a0\nmove with us?   Why. then, should we-\nnot deify ourselves?\nSelf-worship Is really necessary up to.\na certain point, for without It we should,\nnever get along In the world at all.

She desires her home to\nbe attractive. It is the background of\ner life, and she wishes to work for it\nby organizing, managing, studying and\nendeavoring in every way possible to\nadd to its homelike qualities. We know\nwhat an influence environment has upon us, and how Important it is that it\nshould be restful and cheerful. This is\nespecially so in regard to children, lt\nis, therefore, necessary to have their\nrooms bright and free from unnecessary\nadornment, so that they can play happily without being in danger of spoiling\nthe furniture and having to be constantly reminded by that bugbear ofx\nchildhood, the word \"don't.\"\nThe   Influence   of   good  coloring and\n.liii'inonlous surroundings will have their\n'SBffect upon  the   young minds, always\nready to receive impressions. Some\nmothers, with a view to saving their\ncarpets, will keep the shades constantly\nlowered, and the dreariness and gloom\ncaused by this prevailing habit cannot\nfail to leave its Impress on the young\nminds.\nIt ls necessary to realize the importance of Betting before children good\nexamples of form and color. Uniformed\nminds and undeveloped senses must be\npreserved from contact with bad ln art\nas well as ln morals. They must have\nhigh Ideals In beauty, and the Importance of truth can be taught by the\nabsence of shams In the home. It ls\nalso Important that the home alms at\nsimplicity and does not exaggerate any\nOf the prevailing styles. It is so easy\nfor children to fall Into the habit of\nexaggeration. They have such vivid\nimaginations that all kinds of Illusions\npass through their young minds, mil\nconstant watchfulness Is needed to prevent them from exaggerating too freely.\nCOUNSEL\nTHIS applies to everybody, tut the\nyoung married woman should\ntake lt to heart especially. I\nBay the young married woman, because those who have been married\nseveral years have long ago discovered that it Is. the best policy.\nIt was all right to have a girl confidante before you were married, but\nmuch better lf you ceased to be so\nooniidlng from the time you. got engaged. Men dread these Intlmute\nfriendships, for they know Just how\nmuch trouble ls likely to arise from\nthein. .\nOne young man, as soon as be had\npopped the question and been accepted, said to his fiancee: \"Who ls your\ngirl confldante?\" Another, more exacting than the flrst, asked his sweetheart as a favor to him not to be\nso Intimate wltb her girl chum as she\nkad uwa.\nCaring for Your Brushes\nI\nBRUSHES for either household or\ntoilet use wear longer and do better service while they last If\nthey are well taken care of.\nPut your nail and tooth brushes In\nsuch a position that all the water will\ndrain from them. The tiny nickel hooks\nwhich are sold among bathroom appurtenances nowadays make very satisfactory resting places for toothbrushes.\nA camel's hair Ilesh brush should be\nthoroughly rinsed from snap, dried and\naired after each using. The hair should\nbe combed out wilh a coarse comb every\nfew days to prevent its matting.\nHair brushes are best cleaned ln warm\nwater and ammonia, or warm water anil\nborax, or even warm water nnd washing\nsoda, but they must be rinsed thoroughly ln clear water.
