If I were Santa Claus I'd pay A visit to the house each day ; id come and mend the broken toys ; I’d kiss the litile girls and boys, | And fill their stockings every night, Aad give them dreams of rare delight.

sweet milk. Bake in rings ona griddle.

Soda Biscuit.—Three pints of sifted flour, three tea spoonfuls of soda, mixed with the flour. Sift this flour three times, then adda pint of sour cream or milk. The dough should be as soft as can be rollad and cut into bis- cuit.

Ground Rice Puddigg. One quart of milk, four table spoontuls ot ground rice, three ezgs. salt and sugar and nutmeg to the taste. ‘Lhe milk is to be poured boiling hot upon the rice.

Prisoners confined on Blackwell’s Island in- variable increase in weight, according to a statement made by President Brennan, of the New York Department of Charities and Cor- rection.

Theatre parties are the rage with some of the New Yorkers, Whole ‘“‘blocks” of seats are taken for a certain number of persons ac- quainted with each other, and they make them- selves very much at home. but there is some complaint that they make themselves too much at home, and annoy others in the audi- dience by their exceeding freedom.

The intention of the old Deacon was good, but the way in which he worded his notice was infeliticitous. He said: ‘‘Any members of this congregation who have left off wearing ap- parel wii piease contribute the same to the poor.” <A quiet smile pervaded the house, and the people thought that it would be hardly the proper thing to leave off wearing apparel in the chilly month of December.

Keer Accounts.—lf no accounts have been kept, a beginning of a better system should be made now. At the close of the year make an inventory of every article, and value them, and also put down the debts owing and due, This will show how one stands at the close of of the year. By keeping strict account of one’s business, it is not only known what gges out and what comes in, but by noting oviey expenditure and income, we can readily find where we gain or lose. Foolish or unwise spendings are thought over a second time, and this naturally leads to avoiding them in the future.

Madame Cauchon’s funeral took place at Winnipeg, on Dec. 10th. It was most impos- ing, and attended by all classes. The cortege included members of the Local Government, acting as pail-bearers; the clergy, the Mayor and Corporation, military officers and band, and hundreds of citizens. Bells were tolled and minute guns were fired as the procession

assed through the principal streets to St Boniface, where interment @ook place. At the Cathedral impressive ceremonies were per- formed. The edifice was crowded, and many were unable to obtain entrance. Archbishop ‘bache preached eloquently. ‘the body was lying in state at the Government House for several days, and was visited by large num- bers of people. :

Captain Shaw, head of the London Fire Brigade, writes: ‘‘No fireman has ever seen a stone stair escape when subjected to much heat; and no internal wall supported on iron can be relied on where there 13 much heat. At the present moment may be seen at the co-ner of two streets a new building sapported entirely on iron columns without any wall, wood or brick work reaching to the ground along the whole line of the front. At the or- dinary temperature of from 600° to 700° Fahr- eaheit the whole building must inevitably fall, and such a temperature could easily be created by the combustion of a small quantity of fur- nituré.” The conclusion seems to be that brick or iron, covered with brick and plaster which has been subjected to fire, are the omy

freprooi wateriais deserving the name.
