the James Gordon Bennetts, the Victor Hugos -elite tli.
and our own Long John went wild about, but
which no child of this beautiful age would smile
upon. The ‘ bossey” of the hour is a big beauty,
•with a real cowhide ulster, very creditable horns
and eyes as brown and deep and gentle as an Al
derney ever bragged of. In place of the ordi
nary liver, heart aud kiyneys the shop
cow has her hide filled with mechanical appli
ances, by means of which shecau worry the most
credulous of milkers These sham cows whisk
their tails, chew the cud, roll the eyes and do
everything that a well-behaved brute can do but
give milk. The miuiature horses in flowing
manes, “fiery nostrils,” as Burbank used to say
and glossy coats are as beautiful as the Jay-Eye-
Sees, Maud S.’s and “Leonatuses,” from which
they are modeled. There are lambs that bleat,
sheep and ewes that are as musical as Pippo in
t'.'.e “Mascott,” mules that bray and
FUNNY LITTLE DONKEYS,
sad and surly, aud able to kick up a rear heel at
a moment’s notice. There are ducks and chick
ens by the roost, roosters that crow till a fellow’s
«ars are ready to crack, and more cockatoos, lyre
birds, ostriches, blue jays, parrots and duck-bills
than one could meet in a year’s journeying.
The dolls are legion. They are offered in all
races, the Caucasian predominating, but the
Mongolian being the most fascinating. These
belles of geography do everything but gossip,
And in their trosseau are manicure sets, cosmet
ics, hair dyes, wigs and coiffure accessoiies, and
a duplicate of the most minute article in a fash
ionable woman’s outfit. A $25 beauty a foot long,
naked as a gooseberry bush iu January is provided
with a pair of movable eyes and six sets ofoptics.
When blondes are the rage there are pale blue or
steel gray eyes, and big black orbs to he worn
when brunettes are trumps. The Pr.tti doll, |
worth $62, is splendidly attired in am) er satin j
nnd Portuguese lace, and from her arm hangs a [ of jets are declared the “very latest from Paris.’
ACTING RHYMES.
The company sit in a semicircle. The player at
one end expresses a rhyme by action, and the
player at the other end names it aloud; then
t. c two ends do the
from the two ends
follow, till the Whole circle have taken part in
the game. Thus: The first player may begin to
use a dumb show of a knife and fork, when his
vis-a-vis says. “I see you know how to eat.” The
next play, r pretends to make a vigorous attack
upon the air with an invisible stick, aud the re
ply is, “Who docs lie mean to beat?” Another
player goes on all-fours and imitates tho cry of a
sheep, and the answei is iu .de, “Pull well he
knows how to bleat.”^ A failure to find a rhyme,
or to act it well, involves a forfeit.
THE LETTER GAME.
For this several sets of printed alphabets are
required, each letter being separate from the
rest, and pasted on a stiff piece of stifr cardboard.
About fifteen or twenty letters—vowels and con-
sonants-mixed are given to each player to form
a sentence. When all ure done the results are
compared. Or, a name, say William Shakes
peare, is formed by one of the players, who gives
out the letters when again scattered to the rest,
who must reconstruct the two words, on being
told that the words, “We all make his praise”
contain thc name of a celebrated English poet.
Another method is simpl.v to give out the trans
ported letters in a sentence, leaving the coin-
pauj , with paper and pencil to find out the name
it contains.
FiinIiImiin Fancies.
V-cut waists are all the rage, and satirical
old ladies call it the “pneumonia fashion.”
Modern Beau Brummels are now discarding
the Silver knob for the gold-headed cane.
Three tiny gold or pearl studs "o ..tain” on the
manly shirt front with evening Gre.-s.
Old gold and black lace is a combination in
dinner dress quoted as highly fa^iiio. able.
Progressive euchre tables, fo .r-iii-ono, are
unique and ingenious and in great demand.
Stained glass fire screens mounted on ebony
are almost too elegant for the purpose intended.
Very red cheeks aud pink ear lobes now is
what the women call a “toboggan complexion.,’
Black silk dresses with innumerable flounces
real shut-and-open fan. She is blessed with gen
uine Patti black hair and eyelashes, and in the
region of her bustle is a music box through which
a few dozen trills may be squeezed.
The sleds, locomotives, mail-wagons, bi and
tricycles, wheelbarrows, carts, and trucks; thc
chests of tools, crayons, knives, toy guns, and air
pistols ; the tops, balls, marbles, paints; the
COMPLETE CHINA,
linen, tin and pot closets, the stables, stoves, na
vies, camps, theaters, homes, schools, harems
-and museums that are calculated to fire a young
soul with envy aud reduce a healthy pocketbook
to a perfect state of vacuity that would fill a
whole paper.
The boxes, empty and otherwise, are as high
and broad and boundless as taste itself. There
are boxes for collars, boxes for toilet articles,
boxes for gloves and handkerchiefs, and boxes
for every and any use in artists’ paper, leather,
satin and plush. Some contain combs and
brushes for shoes, teeth, clothes, nails and flesh ;
others are furnished with writing material, un-
cerwear and hosiery, and some as cheap as 60
cents contain six little handkerchiefs with pretty
Kate Greenaway prints in the corner.
For the new, crowing, pink and white baby
who will celebrate her first Christmas, St. Nick
has gold mugs, silver rattles, perfumes worth $5 a
jug, ivory bound toilet utensils, and the softest of
socks, hoods, shawls, blankets, and ulsters made
of Asiatic wool and spun silk. There are jewels
fit for royalty with which to beautify chubby
wrists and throats and such lovely linen
baskets of scented wood and tinted satin as our
grand mammas never dreamed of. Ofall gifts
the most expensive are the cradles to rock the
baby in Bamboo gondolas, willow hammocks,
and rattan sedan-couches lined with velour and
silk,and tufled with mock gem, sink to contempt
almost be^e. rHEswmoiNa BED
in orange wood, mahogany, balsam cedar, and
polished butternut, which are superbly treated
with carved, painted, polished and s ained
panels. These imported cradles range f o lOO
to $1C00, according to the workmanship lav .shed
on them, and are intended only for the ipfants of
midionaires.
In the way of decorative goods for bouse
personal use, the array of pretty gifts are unite
only by the size of the stock. Tbereare solitaires
in any and all classes of stones, silk umbrellas
and caneswitl. metallic heads, games in ivory,

ivorine and bone, dainty ..hoc uu, i

Floating violets in the finger-bowls are some
thing new in the agony line at dinnerparties.
Dolls that play thc doll’s piano are among the
newest of the gay and bewildering holiday
season.
Seal plush is preferred by some ladies to seal
skin for probably, Jack-and-his-supper reasons.
The new scarlet and black square rugs for the
hearth are said to be “nothing but dyed cat
skins.”
Toilet sets of solid silver and cut glass in a rose
wood box cost more than a dozen barrels of best
flour.
Small vials of ottar of rose are given as dinner
favors by people who may have to go to Canada.
Tiny wa ches, bangles, scent bottles, and even
satchels for dolls, are among the season’s novel
ties.
Ye tidy, spider-legged swell in the Salisbury
cape overcoat presents as comical a sight as
Punch aud J udy.
Wastebas -ets on three legs are too elaborate
for use, and wraigr.tway are placed on exhibition
in the parlor. ,
Another cnange iu the style of arranging the
hair appears to have commenced among the
alleged leaders of fashion.

B nil ami Heart.
Ones upon n time, mid not so very Car in
the past either, two travelers tiarted out
on the sell-same mission. It was two days
before Christinas when they commenced
their journey, and their objeot was to 1111
tho hearts of the poor people with whom
they might meet in their wanderings with
Joy and gladness. “Mind,” the llr.t trav
eler, was a great philosopher, who was
famous for his knowledge and learning.
“Heart," the second traveler, was not near
so famous as his rival. Ha h ad not written
great hooks, nor solved puzzling problems.
Still he was as bluff and whole-souled a man
us one would wish to meet. Content was
visible in every feature of bis ruddy face,
and a spirit of love and j*ood will to all
seemed to flow from his bright blue eyes.
Now, almost at the beginning of their
Journey these two travelers ehanced to
meet, and “Heart" cried out:
“Good morning, Friend ‘Mind.’ Whither
away so early?”
“Neighbor‘Heart,’” replied “Mind” in
solemn tones, “'tis near Christmas time,
and my errand is to prepare the minds of
the humble, so that they may have right
feelings on that day.”
“ ’Tis a wholesome errand, good friend,”
answered “Heart.” “I am going to try and
do something also. Let us meet the day
after Christmas and compare notes.”
“Very well,” and they parted, “Mind”
already enjoying a prospective triumph
over his rival.
Many hemes did “Mind” visit, and many
a poor person did the great man talk
pleasantly tn. lie told about the duties
which people owed to God, the giver of all
good. He talked about gratitude and
cheerfulness and faith, and as best he
knew how sought to awaken the feelings
of his leavers. But in suite of all his
pleasantries be noticed with disappoint-
ment that the people with whom lie talked
seamed ns if under some restraint, uud
aeted as if they were relieved when he
rose to depart. “There is something
wrong,” ho muttered, “and it can’t be ray
fault.” But still the thought haunted
him.
“Heart” al«o visited many homes, and
the cheery greetings were things to be re
membered for years. He caressed the lit
tle children, and the pockets of his great
coat seemed like the fabled pitcher—never
empty. Many a sweet-incut aud toy did
tlie little ones find there, and many a use
ful present for the older ones did “Heart”
himself find tucked away in his big sleigh.
There was uo restraint felt in his presence.
Young and old gathered about him, and
his good nature was so eontaguons that at
every place he stopped he found it diffi
cult to get away. On the day after Christ
mas the two travelers met as agreed.
“Neighbor ‘Heart,’ ” said “Mind,” “you
have beaten me fairly. The people were
loud iu their praise of you yesterday.
There is a secret in it. I do not as yet
understand, blit trust me, I shall discover
it.”
“Friend'Mind,’ ” replied “Heart,” “there
is no secret to discover. We both started
out with tho same motive. You have wit
nessed the result. I honor you for your
attempt. I can tell you the cause of your
failure: A man’s head is not his whole
body.” And they parted.
M ral—If you would say words of com
fort, let your heart speak. If you would
perform good deeds, let your heart act.

Stricken Willi HI i nil ness.
A Kalamazoo I Mich.) Telegraph report
er gives the followidg statement of Dr. C.
Francoise, the well known veterinary sur
geon of that city, in reference to a ease of
blindness. The doctor says:
“Four years ago last spring, little Willie,
the 4-year-old son of Mr. Peter De Witt, a
relative of mine, residing at that time in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was taken with
the measles. The distase struck in on
him, uud the poor
LITTLE FELLOW WAS LEFT BLIND.
“Distinguished physicians in Milwaukee
and Chicago were consulted, and said that
nothing could he done for him, and that
blinded thus early, he would continue
sightless during his entire life. While at
Hot Springs Mr. DeWitt had heard lhe S.
S. S. remedy, manufactured at Atlanta,
spoken of very highly. How it happened
1 don’t know, for S. S. S. is not guaranteed
to cure blindness; but by some happy
chance it was decided to test its efficacy ill
Willie’s case. By the time he had taken a
bottle and a half his eyes had so far recov
ered that he could play out of doors. After
taking four bottles he was completely
cured. His eyes seemed perfectly sound,
and have continued so ever since.”
“Here Willie, Willie,come here!” shouted
the doctor suddenly, to an active little boy
dressed in knickerbockers, who was play-
i ig in the street. “This is Willie De Witt.
His father used to be a railroad conductor,
hut be is out west now on business, and
Willie is staying with U3 until he gets back.
He goes to the East Avenue school every
day, and never has the least trouble with
his eyesight. See, his eyes look as well as
yours or mine.”

Green & Co., in their report on cotton futures,
says: Frightened shorts having about covered
their entire line yesterday the market took a set
back to-day, assisted by ft tameness of Liverpool,
and chance of a political crisis in England re
cently mode longs close out. Ventures were
made on short and the market went oft’some 7 to
8 points, but as some of the early sellers wanted
their cotton back there was somewhat of a feel
ing at the close. It is at best, however, a holiday
market with all hands more or less anxious to
keep on the safe side.
