They were the Isaac Newtousand Herschcls nnd Far mlaysof their time. Their alchemy was the forerunner of our sublime chomistry, their itNtrology the mother of our magnifi cent astronomy.

The first announcement of it Saviour's birth was made to those men in the field. They were wiseacre that night In Hethleheiu and .Jerusalem snoring in I deep sleep, and there were salaried oftlccnt of government, who, bearing of it after ward, may have thought that they ought to have had the first news of such a great event, some one dismounting from a swift camel at their door and knocking till, at some sentinel' quexllon, "Who come there?" the great one of the palace might have been told of the celestial arrival. No; the shepherds heard the llrst two bar of the music, the first in the major key and I the lost in the subdued minor, "Glory to God In the highest, and on earth peace, Rood will to men.'' Ah. yen: the fields were honored. HESSKNOKltS FROM TIIK FIELDS.

The world waul now more hard hand, more hroucd cheeks, more muscii hiraim.

Heboid, also, that on that Christmas tight God honored motherhood. Two mi gel on their wing might have brought an Infant Saviour to Helhlehem without Mary's being there at nil.

In a great audience, most of whom were Christians, I asked that all those who had Ih-cii blessed of Christian mothers arise, nml almost the entire assembly stood up.

In case any lady wants to inako over a fur garment, she can do so by following these directions: Whenever sho wants to cut her fur sho must mark it on tho skin side with chalk nml cut it with a sharp knife, not letting it cut quite through at first, and then pull tho piece I apart, finishing the cut very delicately, . so us not to 8t)oil the fur. On no :ic- ' count must scissors bo used, as they will cut tho fur on the ouUide in spite of the utmost precaution. When it is all cut tho edges to be sewn aro brought to gether and moistened, and sown over hand with waxed cotton thread. Silk cuts tho skin. When the seam is sewed it should be laid fur side down on it board and tho seam again moistened, and pressed flat by rubbing it with it J shell, or somo other smooth surfiu-ed article. Done this way, no seam is visi ble on thu outside, uud the garment looks as well us if douo by piofessionul sewers. All kinds of fur uro sewn in tho sumo way. How to Cure Nervoiuneti.

Thackeray was the king of satirists. His brilliant wit scintillates llko the gleams of light from the facets of the diamond. His shafts pierce like tho point of a rapier. The foibles and fashions, the fads and follies of the upper crust are held up to scathing ridicule, while the habits and habitations of the masses are laid bare for instruc tion, amusements and general edification.
