There doesn’t seem to be very much the matter with your child. He doesn’t ac- tually lose weight, but there is no gain. He belongs to that large class of children that don’t seem to prosper. You look at him a little more thoughtfully than you do at the rest and say “‘ He is not doing well.” Failure to gain in weight in a child isa danger signal. Scott’s Emulsion should be taken at once.

SANTA CLAUS IS REAL.
es
Though Many Peonie Speak of Him as a Myth,
In spite of the fact that Dec. 6 was St. Nicholas’ day thousands of people talk of Santa Claus as myth. St. Nicho- las was a very real personage... He was Archbishop of Myra in 342, and the name under which he enjoys an annual populirity in this country is the German form that came with the German custom cf the Christmas iree and all the rest of it.
St. Niechclas is a great saint with all the Teutonic and Scandinavian peoples, As a matter of course he soon pecame famous in working miracles and here again he appeared to seek favor with the young people.
An innkeeper haying killed two young gentlemen and put them in the pickle tub, intending two sell them as pickled perk, the saint, who, in a vision, had seen the deed done, declared he would put a stop to the business, and there- upon he transformed himself from Lycia to Athens and stocd before the astonished innkeeper and said, ‘‘What has thou done?”
The man trembled, confessed and implored forgiveness. Having patted the man on the back and said, ‘Don’t do it any more,” the holy man turned to the pickle tub, when the imitation sides, legs and hands of pork began to stir, and in quick sticKs there came forth not two boys, merely, but three, as may be proved by reference to the Salisbury missal of 1534, wherein there is a picture of the event, and one of its peculiarities is that, as the three boys rise complete out of the pickle, the barbarous butcher is still busy in cutting one of them up.
The guardianshiy of the young “y Santa Claus -vas of old recognized in England by the custom of choir boys in cathedrals choo:ing a boy bishop on the day of St. Nicholas, Dec. 6. This was a very important event, as may be seen by Hones “Every Day Book,”
I., 1559, where there is an efligy Of ¢
boy bishep from Salisbury cathedral. The custe:n wa: in full observance from early times until 1542, when it
was abolished by a proclamation of Henry VIII.
We have Nicholas’ day with Christmas day and made the night of Dec. 24 the time of the Saint’s visitation. myth now ary m. re than he cver was.

Brier and meerschaum pipes with amber mouthpieces and gold rims are popular as gifts for men.
Rich colors and Spanish decorations distinguish the mantel ornaments, plaques and jugsin tae Hispano-Mo-
Floral spoons enameled in natural colors are dainty and attractive. As a rule the flower is represented in the bowl of the spoon and the stems and leaves on the handle.

as well as in furnitufe, in silver, in glass, and in a thousand and one pieces of bric-a-brac, either useful or orna- mental, sometimes possessing both qualities. Among the most beautiful of the novelties this year are tne various pieces of Russian enamel, so exquisite in workmanship and design as to secm only fitted for a cabinet; but the work- inanship is so thorough that even the j lled bonboi card cases and buckles. can be used every day; the i coloring is wonderful, showing a finish ; and beauty beyond anything that has been seen here for many years. A
jewel casket has the entire lid covered

what of a mosaic, representing the fa-
mous Russian beadwork , and even those that are not set with jewels are worthy of a close examination, the slencing of the colors being so deli- cately done,

Admired by Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria’s newest maid of honor, Miss Majendie, is said to owe her entrance to royal fayor to a curious chance, She happened to be singing in a church choir one day when the Queen was present at divine service, and her Majesty was so greatly pleased with the fresh sweetness of the girl’s face and voice that she invited her to fill the place coveted by the young girls of the English aristocracy. The position was the last thing Miss Majendie herseif would ever have expected.— Philadelphia Ledger.
Genius Should be Recognited,.
It is ungenerous to withhold an ex- pression of sympathy for those who have failed in the accomplishment of great undertakings, in which they have em- barked all their pecuniary, physical and
| intellectual resources. As a general rule, -
people are hardly considerate enough to- ward the unsuccessful. There is too great a disposition to forget their pluck apd perseverance and sneer at their trustfuliness, We ought to tear in mind
that it is this sublime andacity of faith’
to which we are indebted for the mar velous achievements of our age.
