You buy what you dont wireelly want, and what rarely provers the right present for thts porton for whom it is intended. And it is much better not to give any preeents at all than to give care, noes, thoughtless, foolish oneo. It is not the cost or appearance of a gift, especially Christmas gift, which constitutes its true walne. Far from it ; the thouglet, the care, an the work bestowed on it -in short its emitability-is what makes a present agree- able.

The ornament does look well at the back of the bodice, although the wearei is unable to derive any pleasure from its costly and imposing appearance. HISTORY OF THE MOUSTACHE. The male 'lenient in Frauee is juet wak- ing up to the fact that the moustache is " fashionable." Being of enquiring needs, they are now deeply interested in the int- 'perlant question aa to who introduced this fashion. "They come from England," says one oracle ; ," all educated Englishmen wear mousta.chee." "Not at all," replies enother, "the home of the moustache is Spain, and hexe is the history of its real origin: " After the Moors first invaded the country the Christian and Moslem popula- Won became so mixed that ib was cliflioult to say which were Moors and which Span- iards. The Spaniard° then hit upon a means by which they could at once die- thaguith their brethren. They did not shave tlaeir upper lips apy longer and they allowed a tuft of hair to grow below their ander lips, so that their beards formed the rude outline of a cross. Thus the moustache became a symbol of liberty and fraternity." This sounds someweat, far-fetched, but it is a popular legend just now, in Paris.

The tray( ler, Dr. d'Aubigny, says that in the many years he spent in South America he never saw a bald Indian and scarcely a grey-haired one. In the United States, sex appears to make little difference. Men and women grow gray about the name period in life. In men the hair and beard rarely change equally. The one is usually darker that: the other for several years, but there seems to be no general rule as to which whitens the first. The, spot where grayness begins differs with the individual.

See it it doesn't. The ignorance of young housekeepers has long been the eubject cr inatty jokes, but it is not humorous ; it is serious, as the' trials and troubles in many otherwise happy Ireuseholele can testify. Ib may be old- fashioned, but „it is an opinion backed by many bueletne'e ',whose wive's' helpleSsuese has well nigh Liven them to despair, that a co operative housekeeping plau should be eeteblished from the time the daughter is able to toddle., Let her have her little duties to attend to, from filling the salt colleen ; let her progress step by step through the culinary department, the management of the home, the art of enter- taining, and every other detail that oornen into a competent housekeeper's life, and then when she is called upon to go to inerket or cook a dinner in her own home her husband need not have any fears as to what will be set before him or his gueste, or any qualms as to the manner of itspre- paration. Don't you worry about the little woman Just analyze her a bit before you waste any great amount of sympathy upon her. That baby mouth wasn't made in vain. Ever see one of these little women stand up in ts. street car, or curry her own parcels home, or get in or out of a carriage without having half a dozen men run to assist her? And all just because she is a little woman and has that helpless, imploring look, as if she couldn't stand the least bit of trouble in the world. And every man feels sorry for her. and is ready to extend his sympathy and aseistance. I've watched her -I've made a study of her tricks and her ways. She just looks at a man out of those appealing eyes, and he would walk over rect-boti plough- shares to assist her.

If you say it rains she will con- tend that the sun shines gloriously ; if you are warm she is cold, and vice versa. She is like a cat whose fur is continually rubbed the wrong way, and one never hears a purr, Vat a constant snarling and yowling issuing from her lips. Discussions are useless in many cases, and frequently lead to bitter quarrels. The woman who says "1 think you are mistaken," and goes no further when she sees the sphit of opposition rising fiercely in rebellion is wiser than she who contends to the last embittering those of contrary views and becoming herself worn out in the struggte. If you are right time will prove it, and life is too abort to endanger friendehips by wordy wars that seldom, if even remit satisfactorily. The world is apprised that Potter Palmer draws the linnet lager beer in the matter of the indiscriminate circulation of hie wife's pioture. A Chicago brewing firm having placed Mrs. Padmer's lithographs on one of its advertisements, the husband declares that he will go to the. court for redress. What the legal defence will be is not announced, but the moral defence made by the responsible person when his , attention was called to it is either abeolutely appalling or "as funny as a box of monkeys, accord- ing to the way one looks at in With the seriousness and gravity characteristic of the German mind, and which leaves no room Tor a suspicion of designed humorousness, the explanation was reed° that "the beer la first-class, and leaves no room for the Paliners to complain." No one Will blame Mrs. Pellicle: for her feeling of delicacy, bub most peopbe will think that it is one of those cases about which "the least said the soon- est mended."

They have been maned in so email a circle as to revolve around a teacup and wonder why men are not content to do likewise. They devote their girlhood to getting mar- ried, exerting all their power to acquire husbands and giving no thought as to what shall be done to keep them.

A life insurance company, whose advice, under the circumstances, may be taken as sincere, tells its clients that the golden rule in cold weather is to keep the extremities warm. The first and most important rule for the carrying out of this rule is never to be tightly tilled. Boots and Ames that fit closely prevent the free circulation of the blood by pressure; but when, on the con- trary, they do not embrace the foot too firmly, the space left between the ehoe and the stocking has a good supply of warm air. The eecond rule is never to sit in damp shoe. It is often supposed that unless shoes are positively wet it is unnecetwary to change them while the feet are at rest. This is a great fallacy,ifor when the leest damp- ness is absorbed into the sole, in its evap. oration it absorbs the heat from the foot, and thus perseiration is dangerously checked. This can be easily proved by trying the experiment of neglecting the rule, Th,e feet will be found cold andsclaznp after a few minutes, although on taking off the shoe and examining it, it will appear to be quite dry. Women Men Like. Men enjoy conversing with bright, clever wonaen who have their own views on topics of the day, differing so largely in their fem- inine expression from the masculine argu- ments heard et the clubs or in offices. A man delights in the contrast ; the keen, °levet insightof it companionable woman and the ready wit that punctuates her Mel - venation is to him as champagne compared with perter when he thinks of some of the proey albeit truthful sentiments issuing from the lips of members of his own sex. Such women aro the equals and in many baser, the superiors, of hundreds of their male associates, yet they never net as though they knew their own worth, Therein lies their greatest charm, It takes a very clever woman to combine the strong mental qualities that lend such piquancy to her every Word with a manner not humble, yet so few from being aggressive that a man feels flattered rather than outdone in every :sentence she utters.

Weston Herald,/ One of the least noticeable plutees of city life to a city -bred person is a band of men and women marehing to the rolling beet of the drum and singing to the rude tinkling of shaking tanahourines !mugs whose mine - bag, ringing melodies *force the paeser-by into rythmic motiou, The words, when carried from the Ma. even, muffled roar of basses and tenors to staccato enunciation by some khrill isoprene are generally found to be something like these : We've sem ening 13etter far than tin, Tho Prince of Gloey dwells within. We walk before Itun without sin, Sir, this is the Salvation Army. Or it may be that in some fausillan chorus the voices will weep on together: Blessedly kept, kept by the blood; . Blessedly kept by the Wood Of tho Happy and free, Jesus with me; Blessedly sacred, blessedly kept, yes, I am. It in not unusual, when in the midst of such a confident and peacefully sung 'senti- ment as this, for the Salvationists to abruptly "change their tune" to welcome the secular guardians of order who may be bearing down upon there. As a soldier proudly said, "Tho cops get this welcome, and, to the tune of "Here's to Good Old Whiskey," he sang.: See the brazen hosts of hell Art. and power employing; More than human tongue can tell, Blood -bought souls destroying. Hark! from Ruin's ghastly road, Victims groan beneath their load, Forwm d t 0, ye sons of God, And dare or die for Jesus! There is, perhaps, nothing more charac- teristic of a religion than it songs.

The songs of the people have reached the people, and the master of music himself could not make music do more. Many of these street marching songs have been written by the converts who have come from the streets and have worked out their own peculiar daring andwarlike "sal- vation." Here is one written by a Londoner, who was known as the "Mayor of the Sand - fields," a title conferred upon the worst charaelor arid the hardest drinker in the neighborhood. The " Mayor " enjoyed the distinction of being elected to ride upon a plank three sueotskive years before his conversion. His favorite song when sing- ing on a spree was "There's No One Like Mother Can Cheer Me To -day, and to it he set these words: I've travelled the rough path of life in my day, Ent Jesus, he met me upon the broad way, He pardoned ray sins, my soul he set free, And the broad way to death is now vacant for me. And here is one which is, in the estima- tion of the class for which it is written, de- servedly popular.

A Winter r.esort. Are tet you going South 1" said the bluebird to the sparrow, "Winter's almost here, and we're clearing up to go.

But I tell them I have found a better friend, and I'm riot quite so green. When I tell him " Jesus saved me," he amarvers : " What stuff 1" Then I toll him of his service I have had quite enough; And I telt him I've deserted him, and that soon makes him frown ; And I tell tim that the blood now cleanses me, and that semi knocks him down. So, don't you see, when you're properly con- verted, and your heart is quite clean, You can snap your fingers at Beelzebub, you know who I mean. The song which has gone round the world from the African volt to the Indian bunga- low was written by Commander Herbert Booth to Capt. Pearlman 'words. They call it the army war song, because it was used more thau any other oee at tete Torquay and Eastbourne riots in England. The melody is at once plaintive and mar- tia : - With salvation for every nation To the ends of the world we will go, With a free and a full salvation All the powers of the cross we will show. We'll tear hall's throne to pieces And in the world for Jesus, We'll be conquerors forever, For wo never will give in. Ballington Booth has commemorated a dying Maori, who said he saw chariots and horses lowering from thd clouds, by a quaint and. characteristic song, with this chorus: When the chariot's lowering if I have no sin As the angels aro hovering Ho will take me in - Jesus, Jesus can wash away the sin, Jesus, Jesus, I know He'll take mein. MANY OF THESE 'FOLK SONGS,' not often heard upon our streets,are full of i peetry and reel music. This s Herbert Booth's, and is beautiful in the refinement of its Melody and verse: All the revere of Thy grace acclaim, Over' protnise write my name; As Thou art, Thou &at, receiving. nus marise Maiter iii3fr71(n,a;.11ide Charging xne to pros eh Thy power to seve To sin:bound soul.
