Filling tho Stockius.
Pussy got into the house somehow, just as the least little streak of morning light was beginning to peep through the win¬ dow curtains, and stole up stairs. She jumped upon the bed, and rubbed lier cold nose against Lill's face, and wakened her.
Lill sprang up in bed, for it came to her like a flash, "It's Christmas day!"
"Bessie, wake up ! Merry Christmas!" she cried, and in half a minute four little bare feet were pattering down stairs to the sitting room, after the Christmas stockings.
They hadn't a doubt of finding them full. Santa Claus had never forgotten them yet.
You can imagine, then, their dismay when each little girl clasped a limp and empty stocking, with not so much as a eugar-plum to fill out the toe.
They ran to mamma's bedroom to pour cut tbeir complaints. "Santa Claus  forgot us ?" cried Lill,

The proposition appears lo be estab¬ lished by strict calculation that the in- I terior of the earth when cold will be able to absorb more tlian four times, possibly more than thirty times, the amount of water now on the surface.

There are millions of farms in France containing from a quarter to four acres.

Good Business Rules.
Business men, especially those who are thorougii, proaipt and methodical, are guided by certain elementary principles. In some cases, these principles are for¬ mulated into simple rules, whicii cover even the details ^^' conduct.
A prominent New York banker at¬ tributes his success in business to the care with which he has obeyed these plain rules :
Take time for eating, sleeping and digestion.
Dou't worry. Be satisfied with your work, after doing it well.
Never ask another to do what you ought to attend to personally.
Shun the slightest appearance of dis¬ honesty, as you would shun the plague.
Always meet your appointments on time. Never late. If possible, not much ahead of the moment.
Don't talk too much. Let your actions- speak for yourself.
Be honest, even if you loie money by it.
Never let busiusis i:itert!ere with home duties.
Remember tint money alone cuino t buy peace, nor true friends, nor a loving family.
It is refreshing, in these days of specu-

We often see men and women cradling wheat or hoeing beets in the midst of a wood giving no shade.
