Pendleton, swellingly, "what I alb I can

plied Blunt to a stage whisper."

To woieb a gentleman replied, "So many

Min Sohmnby Waddlesworth, aged
32, war reading the fashion notes, and
when she struck the paragraph, "Babies
ars fsphionable this season," she fainted
dead away, and remained unconscious
for fifteen minutes. It was all the fault
of the intelligent compositor. The item
should have read: Rubies are fipshion-
able this season." Something of a dif-
ference, you will observe, though both
are dear little things.
A Talk Attest Beane Werk.
Girls whose parents an afford to keep
servants get the impression sometimes
that it is quite out of the question to en-
gage in any kind of household work,
some even leaving the care of their own
room to the charge of -hired help. Such
girls seem to us the embodiment of lazi-
ness. There is no reason why every girl
should not understand the running of the
household machinery so that if at any
time mother was sick and unable to over-
see the usual arrangements, her daughter
might be able to take her place, manag-
ing satisfactorily. ' It is a false motion
that to become a housekeeper is to be-
come also a domestic drudge, and if any
of the girls who read this have made up
their minds to that effect, let them aban-
don it instantly, and by experience prove
it a libel. When there are two sisters in
a family a good plan is to divide the work,
each one being responsible for that por-
tion that is entrusted to her care. Let
each understand clearly what i -s expected
of her, not doing it hap-harardly, but
promptly and regularly each week ; or
the work could be alternated, if thio ar-
rangem.int would be more agreeable.
One reason we would give in favour of
household work for girls is, that it given
a chance to learn the many details con-
nected with woman's work that cannot
be learned in any other way than by ex-
periesee, and without which knowledge
no woman can govern a house well. We
don't want to convey the impressionthat
the girl should shoulder the entire re-
sp6nibility of her home, but simply to
show her how much better it is to be able
to know how to do it, should it ever
become necessary. House work is nowt
demeaning ; on the contrary, we consid-
er it elevating.. A girl can be just as
much a lady in a sweeping -cap, with
broom in hand, as in breakfast -cap, re-
clining, languidly with book in hand.
The incest, noblest and best woman we
know has been trained from her girlhood
to look, practically, to the ways of the
household, and yet she is a lady in every
respect, an ornament to the most culti-
vated society. When you hare homes
of your own, girls, and are obliged to get
along with little or no help, you will be
thankful for the training you have im-
posed upon yourself in youth, or if it falls
to your lot to have servants in abundance
you will still be glad that you can rule
and direct them, and should they leave
you without any warning, as they ate
wssetiaes disposed to do, you will be
"aistrees of the situation," able to take
hold successfully until such time as relief
may emu

The Myotic Mistletoe.
The mietleroe, apart from its usa 13
Christmas, hue always boon' at object of
interest t naturalists, Thus Herrick
speaks of it aa—
"Me mystic mietietoe.
'1V Inch has no root, and cannot grow
or p:ogter be bf same oe tree
it clings about."
Indeed, few plater have been }moored
with a More v.trie.l folk -lure than the
mistletoe; and ax ceding to one tradi-
tion the cons was made of it. Prior to
this time it is repine to have been a
tine forest trio, but was condemned
heir'eiolth to hest I it parisitieal exist -
sum. As is well Li1••wn, too, this plant
was bead iu the ; r .ttu.t veuemtion by
the Diuids, who gat'iered it at the com-
mencement of th- ye r withaevery mark
of pump. At wh:.t ti de, however, finis
t etoe came to be rueogtized by us as a
Chri..tluss evergreen is uncertain. There
are C!o &annus carols in praise of holly
and ivy of even earlier date than the fif-
teenth century, but allusion to mistle-
toe can scarcely be found for -two cen-
turies later, or before the time of Her-
rick. Brand considers ghat it was never
put in chinches amongst evergreens but
by mistake and ignorance; for, says hen,
"it was the heathenish or profane plant,
as having been of such distinction in the
Pagan rights of Druidism, and it had its
place therefore assigned to it in kitehens,
where it was hung, in great state."
Various superstitions are still attached
to this plant, which are nut confined to
our own country. Thus, formerly in
Worcestershire, farmers were in the
habit of taking a bough of mistletoe and
giving it too the cow that first calved
after New -Year's Day, as this act was
supposed to avert ill -luck from the dairy.
In Holstein the mistletoe is the "maren-
taken•" or "branch of spectres," and is
supposed to confer upon its possessor the
power of teeing Aosta. No allusion to
the popular custom of kissing under the
mistletoe is met with earlier than the
middle of the seventeenth century.
Cypress bias been occasionally used for
church decorations, but its general rela-
tions render it somewhat out of place at
a festive season like that of Christmas.
Rosemary, too, has been in request at
this time, whereas the lrmrel, which
Spenser describes as the
"Meed of mighty conquerors and poets sage."
is a popular decoration. The bay also is
gathered, but many object to its pre-
sence in churches at Christmas, it being
a funeral flower, and considered an em-
blem of the Resurrection. Thus Sir
Thomas Browne says that when seem-
ingly dead it will revive from the root,
its dry leaves resuming their wonted
vitality again. At Christmas tide this
plant is frequently in demand at family
gatherings, being used for love divina-
tion,, its leaves when crushed in the
hollow of the hand being supposed to
tell the truth of the lover by a cra_kling
sound.—Gardeners' Chronicle.
RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION.
The Great Western. ('react Walley. Ontario

Brae* to Amalgamate. '
From'Turonto Globe.
Mr. E. B. Osler, who has been in
England for the past two months, repre-
senting the bondholders of the Credit
Valley, has returned to the city. He
was interviewed yesterday evening, re-
garding the reported sale of the Credit
Valley to the Great Western.
"1 have not followed the reports in
the Tor.•nto papers, regarding the mat-
rer," said Mr. Osier. but 1 will give
you an idea of the scheme. In the first
place the Credit Valley has not been
sold tet the Creat Western, but arrange-
ments have been evade between the
directors and bondholders Of the Creat
Western, Credit Valley, Ontario and
Quebec. and the Toronto, Grey and
Bruce l railways I,j which the four roads
will be consolidated."
"How was the consolidation effect-
ed 1"
"While I was in England represent-
ing the bondholders of the Credit Val-
ley, a number of meetings were held by
the English directorate ore the other
roads. and as it was apparent that the
scheme was a good one, and almost ne-
cessary, in view of the strong competi-
tion anticipated, it was finally decided
on."
"Has the Canada Pacific Syndicate
anything to do with the gcheme i"
'Not the first thing; our consolida-
tion will be a competing line with that
road, but I understand an agreement
will be made with the Syndicate by
which the proposed bridge over the St.
Lawrence, near Montreal, may be used
nue notal. Connection will be made
with the Canada Pacific at Perth."
"When is the consolidation to take
effect r'
"I really could not say, for no details
have yet been entered into, but the work
of construction on the Ontario and Que-
bec will now be roughed forward with
increased vigor. More then will be em-
ployed, and it is intended to hare the
rad in operation in less than two
yarn.,
"Has tray arrangement been made
about retaining the dims of the differ-
ent roads which ti(mstitute the onnsoiida-
tion r
"As I before stated, the detail have
not been entered intobut no change
will be wind. for some time at any rate,
and i cannot say definitely how matters
will eventnally be arraneed in that re-
spect.

Newspaper saws.
We call the special attention of post-
masters and subscribers to the following
synopsis of the newspaper laws :
1. A postmaster is required to give
notice by letter (returning a paper does
not answer the law) when a subscriber
does not take his paper out of the office,
and state the reasons for its not being
taken. Any neglect to do w. makes the
postmaster responsible to the publisher
for payment.
2. If any person orders his paper dis-
continued, he utust pay all arrearages,
or the publisher may continue to send it
until payment Miriade, and collect the
whole amount, whether it be taken from
the office or not. There care be no legal
discontinuance until the payment is
made.
3. Any person who takes a paper from
the post -office, whether directed to his
name or another, or whether he has sub-
scribed or not, is responsible for the pay.
4. If a subscriber orders his paper to
be stopped at a certain time, and the
publisher continues to send, the sub-
scriber is bound to pay for it if he takes
it out of the post -office. This proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay for
what he uses,
5. The courts have decided that refus-
ing to take a newspaper and periodicals
from the post -office, or removing and
leaving them uncalled for, is prim, facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
