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, it rDi int v t ;hoe boxes, house jack- ivorine and bone, dainty ..hoc uu, i ets caps and hassocks just big enough lor a vouth of 14; boxes of silk socks, hand- kerchiefs and underwear, and utile mus tache cups that would make » his teens ambiti 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.

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. Crazy from Brooking. Louisville, December 23.—H. P. For- wood, a well-known cotton merchant who failed about a year ago, was adjudged in sane aud committed to the asylum to-day. llis financial troubles are said to be the cause. He was a member of the celebrated Fonvood family of Liverpool, Eng., and is a brother to the former lord mayor of Liverpool. ^ Good Bye, Jake Sharpe. New York, December 23.—Judge Peck- ham, of the supreme court, this morning decided that the action of the legislature last winter repealing the charter of the Broadway Street railway company of New York, is constitutional. Judge Peckham also held that mortgages are a lien on the property.

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.” Tieatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
