DM yon ever si.r to ttink how close
ly mother is identified with all onr
plans for Christmas? When she is not
filled with the Christmas spirit, it is
apt to be a creary holiday, but when
the loves Christmas there is joy and
gladness in the home, no matter how
the other members of the family may
bave felt about it or how poor the home
may be. But, while tb mother is really
made respousihle for the Christmas
merrymaking, how seldom are her
pleasures considered? That is not at all
a-i it should be. and i want to suggest
tiat tue couiicg Christmas shall be cju-biderc-d

the other members uf the family can
possibly do so. tbey should relieve ber
of ail household car during that day.
Think bow she would enjoy a Christ
mas dinner, planned and cocked by the
members of her family, aud its xuena
kept a secret from fcer nrtil the moment
when she was escorted to the seat of
booor!
But not only must mother be relieved
of all responsibility bo far as the Christ
mas entertainment is concerned; she
uirst also Le the one to receive the

be mother. Without doubt she has goiie

E. H. House, writing cu "Bright

this siory of ancient extravagance:

"It was the fashion to be extravagant

once went into the kitchen of Lis palace
iu Alexandria saw eight wild boars
roasting at the same time and thought
there must le an immense number of
guests expected, but the cook told him
only l i persons would dine that day,
aud the reason cf the extensive prepara
tions was that no cue could say exactly
wheu Antony would go to the tarfle.
But wheuevcr be gave the signal the
meat must I a just in proper couditiou

g-'t ready a series of dinners, overlap

Common Sense Couh Carss.
It is rather hard lines to be told that
the slight, hacking cough, that is so
distressing to the sufferer, is merely a
bad habit
This is often the case, however, and
when it is at all under the control of
the will it should be sternly repressed.
There are few disorders) more teasing
to the nufTerer and to those about him
than this hacking cough, and the cause
of it should be investigated as soon as
possible, so that common sense may .
aid in the cure.
Sometimes the uvula, the pendulous
part of the soft palate, at the hack of
the mouth, becomes relaxed and the
point touches the tongue, producing a
tickling sensation which requires! a
cough to relieve it
A little dry tannic acid put in a quill
and blown on the uvula will contract
it, or half a teas noon ful of the powder
mixed with two te-t spoonful a of glyc
erine, stirred into half a glass of warm
water, should b used as a gargle.
When a severe cold has been taken
and there is a cough, with soreness of
thecheat, grcitcare should he taken iu
soaking the feet and rubbing the fhetd
with camphorated oil, etc, to avoid an
atttrf k of bronchitis. Hut for the little
aggravating hacking cough the pre
scribed "stern repression" idea Is the
mo:t common ene inethoJ, as each
cough that Ls "swallowed" or other- '
wise avoided will give the Irritated
ur 'aces (which are kept inflamed by
repeated coughing) a better chance to

sat down at the old harpsichord and
played as he bad never played before,
liis listeners were spellbound. "Till

the prompter uneasy.
The greut actor doubtless kuevv what
be was about, but this was carry in j? the
realistic busiutss too far. The fact was
that all this time Jefferson was really
sleeping the sleep of the just, or rather
of the fisherman who Lad sat eight
hours iu the sun. Finally the gallery
became uproarious, and cue of the
"gods" wanted to knew if there was
going to be "19 years more cf this

At this point Jefferson began to
suore. This decided tho prompter, who
opeued a small trap beneath 'the stae
aud begau to prod Kip from below. The
fagged comedian fumbled in bis pocket
for an imaginary railway ticket arid
mnttered drowsily, "Going right

At this entirely new reading the au

a loud shriek, evidently in agony. The
exasperated prompter had "jabbed"
