For my tart, mother, I cannot see how having big dinners and inviting the rich- est people in the city to be our guests can be called 'a real Christmas; do you'!" "Oh, my girl, Soft are far too serious for your years. Christmas is merit to be n time of ,joy." "That's ,just the way the book 1 have been reading puts it, Mother," interposed 311111e. `II; sacs nut Christmas should be a time of rail joy; but it does not say that giving big din-' Hers to the rich will bring that kind of joy.

It is surprising to strangers to find Egyptian families occupying some of the tombs which have been excavated and abandoned. It seeme uncanny to see babies playing cheerfully about the doors of the tomb houses and to watch chick- ens running in and out as they do at the mud dwellings. When questioned about the tombs a dragoman said that those occupied at homes had hem tombs of ordinary citizens and were of no value as show places for tourists. As some of thein have several rooms extending into the rock, and as they are cool in the hottest days of summer and warm in the cool days o1 winter, they are al- together desirable as homes, The Egyp— tians do not share the horror of deed bodies telt by Europeans, Children run abont with pieces of mummies, and if they cannot dispose of them to tourists they play with them.

Many miracles have been reported from St. Anne do Ileaupre and other shrines, but Canada hes had no mix remarkable rescue from the grave as that of Mn, J. A. Galbraith, of Forest, Ont., who was pronounced a hopeless consumptive and given only a few days to live by his physicians. Everybody has heard of the Galbraith miracle, One of tho leading business men of Forest, a well known and highly respected public man, writes us; '1 'know that Galbraith was in bad shape and hie ease pronounc- ed hopeless, and that something had pulled him together. I have only just learned front himself and hie pastor, w1030 wife's life also was saved by the same remedy, that it was PSYCHINE that did the work." IIe further says: "The miracle was genuine. I saw Mr. Galbraith in town yesterday; he Is look- ing the pink of health; says he never felt better, and that he is doing his share of the work on the farm instead of being under the sod, where just ono year ago the doctors told him he would be. For the man or woman who its weak from any cause, or constitutionally ram down, whetter the cause be the lunge, stomach, throat or any other vital off gen, or whether it is from unaccouat- able cause, PSYCHINE, the world-re- nowned tonic and lung restorer, is the safe and certain remedy.

It is a pity to spoil a good story, and the abory of the Mameluke's fam- ous leap, which le recounted to every visitor to the citadel o1 Cairo, is a good one. But it is a fiction founded on the fact that only a single Matne- luko of the seven hundred and odd who were mustered in Cairo on that fatal morning survived the massacre, but ho survived because he was on the sick list at the time, and was con- sequently unable to attend the parade in the citadel, and the Pasha, hav- ing nothing to fear from a single Ivan spared his life. A story never loses in the telling in the mouth of an Egyptian, and he is quite capable of inventing one to acoount for any incident or appellation that ho does not happen to understand. There were formerly two gates to the cita- del of Cairo, called respeotively the Gate of the Janissaries and the Gate of the Azabs, from the titles of two Turkish military corps to whom their charge was confided. But the exis- tence and tho very name of those corps have long been forgotten by the Egyptians, and they accounted for the name Bab elAzab by inventing a etory of a saint called Sidi Azab, around whose name a whole legen4 of marvels and miracles has grown np, while the little chamber in the gateway foemerly occupied . as the guardhouse is pointed out as the saint's hermitage. By and by, Mr. Knight-Adkin " in' his "stirring ani Spirited ballad has represented the massacre as occurring when the Mamelukes were entering, the cita- del It was schen they were leaving it that it really occurred.

This is called zyzlin and is woven by ordinary looms into wooden linens, canvas, etc. The clothes made from these are from three to ten times as cheap as the woollen or cotton articles. By varying the treatment of the pulp the garments can be made as waren as wool and as cool as sheerest linen.

The first to use probably these fireproof garments e s wiln p y be the doctors and nurses in the German hospitals. For cleansing these garments a metal clothes banger is used with a gae burner. The suit is hung over the burner, and when the gas is lighted gleams like a huge incandescent gas mantle.
