It is in house lanterns that the greatest variety is found. Os these the gen oral type is a four, the. six. seven eight or ten sided box. whose length Is usually twice its width. Each side is a pane of glass, plain, ground, frosted or decorated. From the angles hang jiendants of many sorts. The framework is usually of teak, but ebony rosewood, mahogany and other woods are employed, often the sides of the lanterns are alternately wood and glass, the latter lieing covered n itn ground designs and the former richly carved in relief or inset with ivory, i inother-of-pearl or silver. Cpon the i>eiidants the artificers put their hardest work. Some are made of colored beads, strung and inasserl with fantastic shapes and knots. Others are strings of little Ix'lls. which ring ' with every passing breeze. Lines of 1 glittering tinted glass balls lietray the origin of a favorite inode of decorating I Christmas trees.

MERRY MEALTIMES. The ruble So Place For Fault FludiiiK. >»s»in» uiid Strife. Has it ever been your lot to sit at a table with u group ot' young folks who ■ate the meal in silence or. with a few • onstrained remarks. I >oked askance at tin- head of the family before venturing on any remark? 1 have seen such a sight i'll more than one occasion. Doctors hive iold us over and over again of the beneficial results arising from a meal eaten with a contented frame of mind and with cheerful surroundings; but, sad to say, therf* are many households where each meal is a constant scene of bickering, nagging and fault finding. This i s not only the ease where there are young children, who require fi reprimand occasionally for careless ness. but I am speaking of those homes win re tlie girl- and boys are well into their teei.s. Wrong is that parent, either father or mother, who chooses the hour when all are assembled round the table to mention some half forgot ten grievance or to find some fault. If any trivial thing has been done wrong or any duty omitted wait until dinner or tea is over before you scold Maine < r reprimand. I.et the fo»wi winch God gives us for the purpose of nourishing and sustaining our bodies have the opportunity of accomplishing that end. which cannot be- the- ease if every mouthful is swallowed with either a sarcastic word or an uncomplimentary remark. More indigestion, nervousness and other derangements are caused by the too common fault of uncomfortable mealtimes than many people would suppose, and it is our positive duty, which we should t'H try to remember, to make those hours of th? day cheerful and agreeable to the children and to set them an example which you would lx- the first to notice and approve in others Scotsman. * > Xirv mid pathetic.
