The Feminine Observer. Forced memory has no merit iti it. A very hot iron should never be used for flannels or woolens. Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes should be ironed on the wrong side. It is the coal man who now looks as though the earth belonged to him. Turkey hash will be very much in evi dence as a breakfast dish next Tuesday. We are altogether too prone to gauge friendship by its financial attitude. < Jrown-ups never realize how much it hurts a child to be overlooked in an introduction. Clothes lines are made much more durable by boiling for ten minutes be sore they arc used. There are two stages of feminine ex istence when clothes count for very little—that is in babyhood and old age. You mav lose track of time for a while, but the landlord has a very definite way ot jogging your memory about it. WASHIHGTON. Special Low-Rate Excursions via Penn sylvania Railroad.

This week's PRESS consists of twenty pages, in order to accommodate our ! advertising patronage and not to crowd out our reading matter. Our mer chants are rapidly forging to the front as liberal and energetic advertisers, and fully realize that to efficient advertising in these days of competi tion, must depend the success, in a measure, of the prosperous merchant. Emporium is rapidly attracting the ; trade of the surrounding towns and neighboring counties and those com ing here make no mistake. The PRESS will keep up with the procession and in order to serve our patrons faithfully shall deem it 110 hardship to labor early and late to serve them. To publish a paper the size of this journal requires a great amount of labor and 110 small expense and if our patrons appreciate our labors we are satisfied. Wishing our patrons and friends a Merry Christinas and Happy New Year we bid you all adieu until 1900. Driftwood, From Gazette. Ed McNerney, of Emporium, was seen 011 our streets one day this week.

The children of Belgium have a 1 charming Christmas legend about San ta Claus' pony. They always place j their woolen sabots 011 the window ledge, stuffed full of oats, hay aud fodder for the "dear Christmas pony." In the early morning they run on tip- 1 toe to look, and, behold, the hay is all j gone, and the shoes are brimming over i with toys and sweatmeats! Then the children clap their hands with glee 1 and wish they could only have waked ! In time to see the pony munching his | oats. That would have been such fun! —Ella F. Mosby in St. Nicholas.
