MILK
The interior of a cow's
udder contains a marvellous
collection of blood veins,
milk tubes, etc.
.As far as known the milk
secretion is largely dependent
on the amount of blood Mass-
ing through the udder,
If the blood circulation,
the digestion and assimila-
tion of food are good she
will show a higher milk se-
cretion than otherwise; as in
a boiler, the better the condition it is in the more steam can be generated.
Clydesdale Stock *Food
will stimulate the organs of circulation and digestion, because it makes the
food "tasty,” inereasing the digestive juices that dissolve the food. and
this means more milk and at a profit,
For cows at "Calving," there is nothing better as it tones and regulates
the system, helping her to "clean" better, and, lessening the usual danger.
Can stop feeding it without harmful effects as there isnothing injurious
in it, Humnan beings can take it with benefit. We take it every day.

SAVED HIS LIFE BY NERVE.
Subway Trackman, Caught by Third
Rail, Amazes Passengers by Coolness.
Thrown into panic by the blinding flash
and loud report of an explosion on the third
rail near the subway station at Ninety-sixth
street yesterday afternoon, the torror of pas-
sengers was increased by seeing Michael
Kennedy, a track overseer, being roasted
slowly in the electric blaze. Their pity
turned to admiration for the man's nerve
when they saw him running his rubber -
gloved hand along the third rail to remove a
cold chisel that had fallen andc aused the
s
explosion. After he had done thl hewas
p a
taken to an ambulance and hurried to the J.
Hood Wright Hospital, where ho was swathed
in oil -soaked bandages.
"I guess it's because it's Thanksgiving day
and a lucky day for almost everybody that 1
lived through it," was all he said.
Kennedy had been detailed to tighten the
nuts and bolts on the north -bound express
tracks. When he had almost reached the sta-
tion at Ninety-sixth street ho discovered he
could not use his wrench on the nuts because
they were partly Imbedded in concrete. The
only way ho could tighten them was by using
a cold chisel, This he held in his rubber -
gloved hand. At the third blow the chisel
slipped from the nut and hit the third rail.
In a second Kennedy was enveloped in flame.
It burned off his beard, seared his face and
scorched his clothes. Only by shutting his
oyes et the first flash did he save them from
being burnt out. Then he dragged himself
away from tbe rail on which he had fallen,
fortunately on his shoulder, with his cloth-
ing as insulation.
Knowin h his t s
the chisel still rested on ther
third
rail and that the flames would continue until
it was removed, Kennedy slid his gloved
band beneath the wooden cover and finally
dislodged the piece of steel, thus ending the
torture and the terror of the passengers, and,
incidentally. a lot of trouble for the company.
LA Christmas Story
(Dy Phoebe Cr,)ay
Acrosti the German Ocean,
Ina country far from our own,
Once a poor little boy Armee Gottlieb,
Lived with bis mother alone.
They dwelt in the part of a village
Where the hou.;es were poor and =AL
But the tomo of the littlo Gottiiele
Was the poorest One of all,
Ile was not largo enough to work,
And his mother could do no more,
(ThouThankeepthe weltlfrom thandoerrg down)
She bad to take their threadbare elotntet,
And turn, and patch, and darn.
For never any woman yet,
Grow rich by knitting yarn.
And oft at night, beaideher chair,
Would Gottlieb sit and plan,
The wonderful things he would do for her.
When ho grew to bo a man.
One night she sat and knitted,
And Gottlieb sat and dreamed,
When a happy fancy all at once
Upon his vision beamed.
'Twas only a week till Christmas,
And Gottlieb knew that then
The Christ -child that was born that day.
Sent down good gifts to men.
But he said, "He will never find 'us,
Our home is so mean and small.
And we, who have roost need of them,
Win get no gifts at all."
When all at once a happy light
Came into his eyes so blue,
And lighted up his face with smiles,
As he thought what he could do,
Next day when the postmen'e lettere
Came from all over the land;
Came one for the Christ -child written
Ina child's poor trembling hand.
You may think be was sorely puzzled,
What in the world to do;
So he went to the Burgomaster,
As tho wisest man he knew.
And when they opened tbe letter,
They stood almost dismayed
Tbat suet: a little child should dare
To ask the Lord for aid.
Then the Burgomaster stammered,
And scarce knew what to speak,
And hastily he brushed aside
A drop, like a tear, from his cheek,.
Then up he spoke right gruffly,
And turned himself about:
"This roust be a very fooll ih boy,
And a small one, too, no doubt,"
But when six rosy children
That night about him pressed,
Poor, trusting little Gottiieb '
Stood near him, with the rest.
And he heard his simple, touching prayer,
Through all their noisy play;
Though be tried his very best to put
The thought of him away.
A wise and learned man was he
Man called him good and just;
But his wisdom seemed like foolishness,
I3y that weak child's simple trust.
Now when the morn of Christmas came, •
And the long, long weak was done,
Poor Gottlieb, who scarce could sleep.
Rose up before the sun.
And hastened to his mother, I
But he scarce could speak for fear, e
When ho saw her wondering look,
And the Burgomaster near. j
He wasn't afraid of the Holy Babe,
Nor his mother, meek and mild;
But he felt as if so great a man
Had never been a child.
Amazed the poor child Looked, to find
The hearth was piled with wood,
And the table, never full before,
Was heaped with dainty food.
Than half to hide from himself the truth
The Burgomaster said,
While the mother blessed him on her knees,
And Gottlieb shook for dread.
"Nay, give no thanks, my good dame,
To such as me for aid,
Be grateful to your little son,
And the Lord to whom he prayed!" , l '
Then turning around to Gottlieb,
Came not to whom it was addressed, Your written prayer, you see,
It only came to me!
"'Twas Twas but a foolish thing you did,
As you must understand;
For though the gifts are yours, you know,
You have them from my hand."
Then Gottlieb answered fearlessly,
Where he humbly stood apart.
"But the Christ-ebild sent them all the same
He put the thought in your heart!"

Choosing a Tree for a French Christmas.
Wednesday we made a fine expedition to
the woods—the whole party, the donkey -
cart, and one of the keepers to choose the
Tree—a most important performance, as we
wanted tbe real pyramid "lapin," tapering
off to a fine point at the top. Labbey ((keep-
er) told us his young son and the coach-
man's son had been all the morning in the
woods getting enormous branches of pine.
holly, and ivy, which we would find at the
church, We came across various old women
making up their bundles of fagots and dead
wood (they aro always allowed to come once
a week to pick up the dead wood, under the
keeper's surveillance.) They were principally
from Louvry and St. Quentin, and were
staggering along, carrying quite heavy bea-
dles on their poor old bent batiks. How-
ever, they were smiling to -day, and I think
the burden was lightened by the thought
of the morrow. We found a fine tree. which
was installed with some difficulty in the
donkey -cart; Francis and Alace taking turns
driving, perched on the trunk of the tree,
and Labbey, walking behind, supporting
the top branches.—From 'Christmas in the
Valois," by Mary King Waddingt n, m the

How to Acquire Knowledge. A System of Home Education.
This system Is probably the best. At least the student can seize -;

ehoose hie own subjects and select the special means of Culture which -

r'oe: is laid out on a _plan most calculated to be of real assistance. The
subjects are treated in an eminently practical way by the greatest
authorities.
There are several ways of acquiring that all-round knowledge which
!ends to success, but the least expensive and the surest is by a routine
of self -education. Evening schools and like systems aro excellent In
their way, but they do not often fit in with the. individual hours of
leisure.
A system, to be capable:of universal application, must be one which
can be freely need at any time. Everyone has hours In a day which can
be devoted to study, odd hours which never seem somehow to suit
other people's convenience.

This Question of

How to make a little go a long wa

It becomes almost a question of giv

Then there is a sixty-first cousin,
with a good, fat income, and you her
favorite relative, She has lavished
gifts upon you until it is no longer
possible to accept them without giving
something in return. A txi£ting renief-
branoe would be simply out of the ques-
tion. There is positively- no way out of
it. She will have to be the one who re-
ceives the Christmas present.
A similar feeling of obligation or

the sum total of which corresponds to
the amount that would buy one really

elastic powers, however, when mixed up
with careful thought, and it is not the
splendid remembrance that means most
to the recipient,
A small knowledge of a person's in•
dividual tastes goes a long way in find-
ing' just the present he or she will
most appreciate. After which, it is a
matter of searching through the be-
wildering array of Christmas stuff in
an endless maze of shops for the small

SANTA'S VISIT.
(By
Clement C. Moore.)
'Twas the night before Christhas, when
all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a
mouse;
The stockings wertehung by the chimney
with care.
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would
be there;
The children were nestled all snug in
their beds
o While visions of sugar -plums danced in
s their heads;
.And mamma in her 'kerchief and I in my
ca
s Had just settled our brains for a long
e winter's nap-
- When out on the lawn there arose such
a clatter,
t ' I sprang from my bed to see what Was
the matter.
Away to the window, I flew like a
flash,
h Tore open the shutters and threw up the
en sash;
o The moon on the breast of the new -fall-
en snow
I Gave a lustre of midday to•objects be-
low;
✓ • When what to my wondering eyes should
appear
✓ But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny
t reindeer,
s With n little old driver, so lively and
nick
q
s I knew in a moment it must be St.
Nick.
More rapid then eagles his coursers they
me
And he whistled and shouted and called
them by name,
Now, Dasher, now, Dancer ! now, Pranc-
er and Vixen 1
be.Andthbeginshow
On, Comet! on, Cupid—on, Donder and
Blitzen 1
To the top of the porch, to the top of
the wall!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away
all1
As dry leaves that before the wild hurri-
cane fly,
,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount -
to the sky,
So up to the house -tops the coursers
they flew,
With it sleigh full of toys and St. Nick•
olas, too,
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on
the roof,
Tho prancing and pawing of each little
hoof;
As I drew in my head and was turning
around,
Down the chimney St, Nicholas came
with a bound,
He was dressed all in fur, from his head
to his foot,
And his clothes were, all tarnished With
allies and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung On hie
back.
And he looked like a pedlar just opening
his pack;
Hie eyes how they twinkled, his dimples
how merry;
Itis cheeks were like roses, his mouth
like a cherry;
Itis droll little mouth was drawn up like
a bow
And the beard On his chin was as white
as the snow,
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his
teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like
a wreath.
He had a broad. face and a little, round
belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl
full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump—a right jolly
old elf,
And I laughed. when I saw hila, in spite
of myself,
A wink of his eye and a twist of his
head.
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to
dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight
to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned
with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the cbimney he
rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave
whistle,
And away they all flew like the doyen of
a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim„ as he drove
out of sight:
'Happy Christmas to an, and to all a
good -night,"

Willie's Unbelief.
Pa knows and ma knows that I don't be-
lieve in Santa Claus;
They can't blame me. about it, thaugh; it
ain't any fault butp a's;
Last year we had a Christmas tree, and
gee, but It was fine!
It fairly bent with all the gifts—the most of
them was mine—
And ail day long they hong up there, just
only for to see,
'Cause ma said Santa had to come and pick
them off for me.
It seemed as though I couldn't wait for dark
to ever come,
So I could have my horn and books and
candy cane and drum,
And all the little boxes that were tied with
fancy strings,
But pa and ma both said that all tbo toys
and other tbings.
Would fade away if 1 clam up and pulled
them from the tree
Before old Santa came around to hand them
down to m0.
At Iast, when it had seemed a week, they
had to light the light,
And 5 was glad and filled with pie and things
and It wts night,
And me and me were all alone—peed went
away somewhere --
And every uoise I heard I'd think that Santa
• Claus was there,
So then, first thing I know, be coughed and
stood beside tho tree,
With snow-white fur and whiskers Iike the
pictures that you 500.
Ma didn't seem at all afraid—and elven a
coward, too--'
He'd pat her cheeks and elm would laugh
at everything bo'd do;
But, pretty soon, when he'd got en a rockin'
chair to reach
A bundle that eves higher than his head,
ma gave a screech,
And, jtmmunneel T tell you what, it was a
sight to 100 —
Old Santa Claus caught atire, and was tangl-
ed in the tree:
He kicked and clawed and hollered, and the
dickens was to pay;
The whiskers went a-flyln' and ma fainted
dead away;
Ilut pasta --that's our tired girl—come tearllt'
in and threw
A Turidsh rug on Santa Claus Mid then the
