CUSTOMS OF CHRISTMAS.
Gift Making One of tba Most Gracioua
features of tha Season.
Gift makingiaone of the moat gracioua
features of Chriatmae, and one thut I
pray may aurvive all other outgrown
cuatouiH," says Florence Hull Winter-
burn in the December Woman's Home
Companion. When love and aympatby
are cloeo counaelora there la little fear
that we Hball make the rnlatake of lour
lug out of our little one'a stocking the
particular thing be has set hia heart
upon getting. Aud If hiachoiceia bey on
ua to gratify, let us come aa near to it
ae we can, and not convert- this aeaaon
into a sort of convenience forouraelvea
thriiHting upou hia reluctant acceptanc
such proHuio articles aa ahoea, data an
other eaaentinla of the toilet. I' ur pret
tier la the ( Jerman custom of bestowing
gaudy tnlles that have no place in
themselves, but are a part of the gut
tor and fashion of tho holiday, W hen
it la possible, nothing la ao good as the
traditional L'hrlstmuH tree. In after
yeara memory hangs about it fondly
and we bless in our hearts the kind hands
thut took so much trouble to give us
pleasure.
Then the stocking hung up on Christ
in as eve has a romance all Its own
The breakfast table dressed with holly
Perries and gifts tilled under snowy nap
kins Is a graceful custom and is far
nicer than the blunt handing out of
our gifts. Home trouble should bo taken
to create tho welcome element of enronse
we all like It but It la one of the greatest
lights In the child experience, lie
finds out before wa would have him that
what is looked forward to most eagerly
seldom turns out well. It ia sad philo.
ophy, yet true, that It Is dangerous to
set one s heart on anything In this world
Hut the love that hldea Ita Intention
until the hour of fulfillment, and then
lots out its secret in an outburst of gen or-
osity, Is the best substitute that Is ever
offered for tho special providence Han ta
llnus and all other gracious myths.
An example of ireuorosltv is seldom
lost upon children If it Is true, not urtl
flclul. They are very willing to live up
to their . little knowledge if we allow
them them the chance, and purt of our
duty to the day is to encourage In our
young people the same kindliness we
cultivate In ourselves. It is so much
easier to learn In youth to bo genial,
sympathetic and generous than it is
after embittering experiences have bar
deui'd oar hearts.
ftoll as a JVIi-iuiire uf Value,
Advocates of gold monometallism
dure not lay before the people the real
reason why they are so anxious to es
tublish their theory of finance
If they should frankly say that they
want gold to be made the sole measure
of vnluo because gold Is constantly ap
preciating, they would put the people on
their guard and defeat the end for which
they labor.
As a matter of policy gold monomutal
lists deny that gold bus grown more val
uable during the lust twenty-five years
and tins thus decreased the value of all
property measured by that metal as a
purchasing medium,
Any ono who will take tho pains to
consult Kradstreet's index numbers of
trices will become convinced that prices
ave fallen since 1872 at least 45 per
cont. This index is bused on tha prices
of ion articles, aod Is a matter of stall
tics prepared with no political bius.
I nking the last six years up to Nov.
1, 1807, the full has been 15 points, and
the record stunus aa followa:
1N01 1)0
1802 00
1S03 01
1804 78
180.'. 77
1800 71
1807 75
In 1872 the index nnmber atood at
127, according to the senate report;
therefore, simple comparison with the
iudex number for 18'i7 shows a drop
uverage prices of about 4. per cent
t here can be but one reasonable con
elusion, and that is the purchasing mo-
ium has increased just that per cent in
value,
How would the merchant like u yard
stick that gradually grew in length each
year until in twenty-five yeara he had to
II six feet ol cloth for a yard.
How would a farmer like a bushel
measure that doubled in capacity in a
quarter of a century, requiring him to
ill two bushels lor one;
Yet that ia exactly what the gold
tandnrd has done, not only for the
merchant and the farmer, but for tha
wuera of all proiterty in thia country,
nd that is the kind of monetary "re
form" tha republican want to fasten in
