"A list of the books which have most deeply Influenced an epoch," writes the editor of the Ontlook, 'is a record of its spiritual history; such books show us not only obvious activities of time, but the ideas, convictions, faiths, passions, and hopes which have inspired and sustained those activities."

WEBER/'1'™.,, Older children Always look the gift horse in the month, and usually manage to feel very much hurt because they didn't get something they really wanted, or because one of the other children got more. They Hometimee fight over their presents, and the joys of Christmas morning end up in a genuine family row. And yet Christmas is an institution thatoonld be illy spared, because it ftirnlshes an excuse and a motive for many a kind act that would otherwise be omitted. The worry and exasperation accompanying the formalties of Christmas giving are worse than those of housecleaning time. It ought to be abolished at least to all but the small children who believe in Santa Claus. As soon as they discover that Santa Olaus is a myth the Christmas present should be shut off as a penalty, even as Adam and Eve were driven from Eden because they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Any way yon look at it, the mere act of making anoUtev person a present that lias no inspiration but the calendar, is Idiotic. Nobody ever roally values a Christmas gift. The simplest thing that comes to us at otber times is dear beyond ail price, because it speaks of love and thought, but the Christmas present is enveloped with no such aroma. It is a duty present, sent because the giver had to, not because he wanted to, and the recipient always feels that he has participated in a recherche robbery whero he held up his friends and forced them to stand and deliver." "Noxt to the total abolition of death and taxes, nothing else would fill humanity with such joy and gratitude as the suppression of the Christmas gifr. There may have been a time when there was enough sentiment in it to justify it. Now ithas degenerated into »i mere swapping of presents. You look for the price thg on my gift, and I make a shrewd gueea at what yours cost, and there is just about as much real foeling and heart in it as there is in a horse trade. "It is the time of mirth when wo salute each other with 'Merry Christmas,' and yet, Ood knows, it is the season of all others when the heart takes most account of poverty and loneliness and loss. "It is the timeof universal generosity, when we are lost in doubt as to whether it is most misery to give or to receive. "Ideally the celebration of Christmas is the most beautiful thought that has ever come to the world. Practically it is a vice that ought to bo taken in hand by the vigilance committee. "It is the time of good will toward men when we hate the people we are in duty botmd to remember, and doubly loathe those who feel compelled to remember us. Dorothy Dlx, who writes bright things for the New York Journal, ia in favor of the suppression of the Christmas present, and suggests that we should begin with the elderly people and gradually abolish the custom. Dorothy says, speaking of this festive season, that: Shoes and Slippers. It is a well-known fact that we always sell the best Shoes for the least money. Every pair to tit and wear well.

It is the relation existing between the publication and its readers which makes good circulation quality. The publication which has a standing with its readers, which is welcomed by its readers as a friend, whose information is known to be acurate, ia the publication whose circulation is worth something. If it has obtained ito circulation by clean handed, straightforward methods, and without the use of inducements, its circulation of one thousand is worth more than one million of the publication which is thrown into the waste basket. The paper which is sought for by its readers, bought by them, or delivered to them, regularly, gives the advertiser the best value.—Ex. Circulation ({uality. A cleverly worded ad of salt-cellars has been known to create a boom In the china department of a store. A sale of threads, needles and pins will cause an overflow In the notion corner, and the rest of the place gets the benefit. There are so many little things that are needed in a house that the average woman forgets, then shifts along without, until some clever advertiser reminds her. Then she buys a lot of things that she could and did do without, but is so much more comfortable with, that she resolves never to deprive herself again. The necessities of civilization are so complex that the merchant should continually publish reminders, "lest we forget." -New England Clrocer. floor carpet room. with a BISSELL are the pride of the house.

"I dont know—what ?'' inquired the scholar from Massachusetts, curiously. "Everything I looked at," chuckled Senator Woleott. Senator Lodge silently dove into his vest pocket and handed the Colorado man a cigar.—Washington special in New York World. "To commence with, a young, vigorous and healthy horse is injected with an amount of diphtheria poison or toxin sufficient to kill ten thousand guinea pigs, each weighing 260 grammes. After from three to flvodays, or as soon as the symptoms of poeioning caused by the dose have disappeared, a second, slightly larger than the first is given, in order to partly neutralize the effect of these great doaes of poBlon, a certain amount of antitoxin may be given the animal. At periods of from five to eight days the animal is again injected until two months have elapsed, when it is found to be able to withstand ten or twenty times the original amount without showing the effect of poisoning. At the end of the three months the serum of the blood of the horse should contain about six hundred units of antitoxin to each cubic centimetre. A unit is the amount of antitoxin which protects a guinea pig weighing 250 grammes, from one hundred fatal doses of diphtheria posion. "When the blood of the horse Ib found by slight bleeding and tests with guninea pigs, to contain the antitoxin in this strength, the animal is carefully bled, and the serum seperated from the fibrin of the blood. Or course, not enough blood is taken from the horse to do him any material harm, thus the animal can be bled again and again over a consldrable period of time. The production of the antitoxiuc used in diphtheria, and which is also a cortain cure for that disease, having robbed it of its terrors, is described as follows by Dr. Cyrus Edson in a recent article in the Philadelphia Times: figures.

Some of the children, however, demurred."We want to give a Christmas party," they insisted, "'and if this is a mass meeting of the family we ought to have something to say." "I didn't say it wasa mass meeting," mildly protested Mr. Meeker, the fether of the family. "I said it was ma's meeting."—Chicago Tribune. The Dying Century.
