Or, perhaps, the husband, father or brother in your family, or your friend, would be mighty glad to get one of these articles.

It is well to know that if you can't buy an expensive gift you can have good Christmas dinner, which is a good substitute.

George Alfred Townsend thus pictures the assassin Guitean: "A nasty skin, a little like a corpee, with some reddishness overspreading its generally yellowish dampness. The face was rather long and pear-shaped. The hair, the akin, and the beard all seemed to be dusty and dampened, as though out of some graveyard."

Mr. Wendell Phillips, who was seventy last week, is said to sho^* signs of age, and Is not lecturing at all this Winter. His home in Boston fa now far "down-town," but he refuses to leave it for more fashionable regions.
