Advise From one Who Practices What He Preaches. If you are owing anything, this is the time of year to get out of debt, because there is more money in circulation this season of the year than any other. Reader, this is to you. You know you are owing money that ought to be paid. I know men who are owing money for house rent, dry goods, groceries, bor rowed money, school tuition, etc., that should and could be paid at once. You may be in debt t to some perhaps that live in a fine house and drive a span ot bays, but that dont lessen your debt one mite. “Ah says some one, “hete I am in a rented house, at big rent, have had sickness in my family, had bad luck with my stock, and lam not so very stout myself.” Let me tell you iny friends, some of you live in rented houses and some of you do not, but tliere is a way for most of you to get out of debt if you only possess tne right kind of heart and a deter mination to do so. You need not expect anything except bad luck if you continue the course you are now pursuing. Does not the Bible teb us to “owe no man anything but love?” God will not let you enjoy life and let your heart be at ease, though you may be as a green bay tree for a short while, but soon the leaves will begin to fall and show' what the tree is. You may say say it is impossible for me to pay my debts now. Let’s see. Some of you have good land, cow's horses, hogs, poultry, etc ; some have not land, but they have stock, dress nice and live w*eli every day. Have you made any sacrifices to *pay your debts. Sell some of your stock, and if you have land sell off a few acres and settle up with your creditors. If you don’t try every w'ay to pay your honest debts tile chastning rod of God will roach you some way. Your prospects may be flatter ing in keeping up appearances before the eyes of others, with hired servants around, instead of you and your wife doing the work and keeping the money you pay to servants to pay your creditors. Perhaps the wives of some of your creditors do their work, dress poorly and perhaps do without many things they need because you wont pay what you owe. How can you expect your life to be crowned with suc cess when you are using money tnat rightfully belongs to some one else. • There are some that have failed to pay their school tuition long past due. How cn you meet your lellow man face to face and know that you have withheld that which is justly due him. How many promises have you made and kept none ot them? And .there is your pas tor, you have failed to jay towards his salary, which is as honest a debt as you can owe. You we pay him too much. If you think so, have your name taken off the church book and go where you can listen to a fifty dollar preacher if you like that kind best. Don’t through sel fishness or stinginess be a dead head on God’s grace and the lib erality of others. Pay your dobts. 1 can truthfully say I owe no man anything.—Somebody, in Marietta Journal. Mvuy old soldiers, who contrac ted chronic diarrhoea while in the service, have since been permanent ly cured of it by .Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy. For sale by Dr. W, L.

Handiwork of Loved Ones Tar Prefer able to Shop Gifts, No Matter How Costly the Latter May Be— What t( Make and How to Make It. Christmas means to many house holds oniv an interchange of ex pensive, useless gifts, and not the loving souvenirs that mean sc much. Tiie gifts which we make will bear the stamp of our ability and talent, and such gifts are prized more than those we buy T . Shop gifts, however expensive, cannot take the place of the handiwork of a loved one. The trifles described below are all inexpensive, but use ful, and w'ill furnish suggestion tor pretty Christmas gifts: A PRETTY BLOTTER has a white linen ground with a spray of white leaves and grapes worked in bright yellow silk, the tendrils being done in gold thread Avery pretty CASE FOR POSTAL CARDS may be made of celluloid. Cut i piece oxl4 inches and face one end to a depth of six inches with a piece of the same width, cutting tiny slits for the purpose. Turn the other end to a line five inches from the top, cutting slits for nar row ribbon to be passed through. Tie in small bows. On the pari turned over paint in gold letters “Postal Cards,” and decorate the upper part with pretty design. Make slits at the upper corners for ribbon by which the case is sus pended. PHOTOGRAPH FRAME. An octagon-shaped piece of thin wood may be covered with white plush or velvet and gold lace. PRETTY BOOKMARKERS are made of gros grain ribbon an inch wide, in orange, pink and blue. Place the three ends together and sew to a small brass ring. Turn the other three ends to a point and finish with -tiny gib bells. A UNIQUE MATCH HOLDER may be made thus: Gild two clay pi pes and set between them a little Chinese or Japanese basket, tying them in place with narrow ribbons. Fasten ribbons to the under side of the basket to hang it up by. Buy a tiny glass and' place Ya in. basket to hold the matches. HANDKERCHIEFS in drawn work are quite elaborate and very highly prized. Linen lawn of fine quality can be had for 75 cents a yard, and one yard will make four handkerchiefs. A neat and inexpensive FOOTSTOOL may be made from a small wooden box. Nail four square blocks of wood on the corners next the top and fasten castors into them. Pad the top with excelsior covered with two layers of wadding. Then cover top and sides with some pretty furniture goods, of which you can buy remnants cheap. Tack furniture cord over all the seams and edges, letting it form three tiny loops at the four top cor ners. BOOKS are always acceptable gifts. A music-roll or new music is an ap propriate present for a musician. Something in table linen or fancy china will be acceptable to a young housekeeper. A PRETTY PINCUSHION to hang beside the bureau or dress ing-case is made from a strip of birch bark 2 1-2 inches wide and 8 inches long. Roll together and fasten firmly. Fill the roll with cotton, wool or hair, and fasten small cushions of plush or velvet in each end. Tie ribbon around each end and hang by ribbon. Paint some pretty floral design on the front of the roll. A dainty little affair for holding fancy work is made thus: Cut two pieces of Cliiua silk (one of dark blue for the outside and one of pale yellow for the lining) 18 inches square. Round one end of each and sew the two pieces together, Embroider pink rosebuds on the round end. Leave a slit nine inches long on each side at the top to slip the work in. A wide box plait, covered with a ribbon bow, draws the bag together at the top. A PRETTY AND USEFUL CASE FOB VAILS may be made of fine white linen. Cut two pieces 10 inches long and seven wide and sew them together on three sides. Bind the edges with white silk braid, and across the top of the case embroider in blue silk, “See within this dainty case filmy-vails for thy fair face.” To one who loves plants, noth ing can be more appropriate as a holiday gift than A HANDSOME PALM. Most of the species do better in the window than almost anything that can be grown, and will be come larger and more beautiful every year. Margaret Percy. The new French vrille or gi’.nlet bengalines are called Oudine silk. Hints to Housekeepers. —As fruit jars and jelly glasses are emptied see that they and tbeii tops are thoroughly washed, rinsed, scalded and dried before they are put away. Be sure that they are dried before screwing on the tops. The rubber bands might as well be thrown away at once, as it is a better plan to buy new ones every year. --Before seeding raisins pul them in hot water for a few min utes and the seeds will come out easier. Then roll each raisin be tween the thumb and finger, pressing the seeds up to and out of the stem end. —lnstead of toasting bread foi pea-soup, try drying it or roasting it till crisp in the oven, and see how superior it will be. —One of the most palatable of gruels is a combination of cream, beef tea and barley water. —A gargle of salt water as hot as can be used is on of the best, as it is one of the simplest, home remedies for sore throat. Thai persisted in, with a cathartic medi cine to clear the system, will cure almost any sore throat that is nol diphtheritic. —Bathing the abdomen with alcohol is an excellent remedy foi diarrhoea. —All head vegetables, such as cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce, that are to be cooked whole, should be immersed head downward in cold water to free them from grit and insects. —Never allow meat to be placed directly on the ice, as the watei draws out the juices; it is even worse to lay it there wrapped in paper. It should always be laid in a clean porcelain vessel. To detect chicory in coffee pul the powder in cold water; chicory gives a colored infusion in the water, whereas coffee does not, and by the depth of the color the proportion of chicory may be guessed at. , Avery convenient mucilage can be made of onion juice by any r one who wishes to use it. A good sized Spanish onion, after being boiled a short time, will yield on being pressed quite a large quan tity of very adhesive fluid. This is used quite extensively in various trades for pasting paper on to tin or zinc, or even glass, and the ten acity with which it holds would surprise any one on making the first attempt. It is the cheapesl and best mucilage for such pur poses, and answers just as well as many of the more costly and patent cements. Some Choice Recipes- Cocoanut Jumbles.—One cup of butter, 1 1-2 cups of sugar, one egg, one teaspoon soda, one cup of milk, one heaping cup of cocoanut, a little nutmeg, flour to roll, cut in square pieces and fold over the edges, or cut in long, narrow strips.

Plain Cake. —Take two cups of flour, 1 1-2 of sugar, half a cup of butter, one of cream, two eggs,- one teaspoonful baking powder, mixed with gpur. Put all these ingredients iflTO a deep dish and beat until light. It is not necessary to beat them separ ately, as in some other cakes. Bake in a deep form and in a moderately hot oyen for about half an hour. Macaroons. Take half a pound of almonds, blanched and skinned, with three or four bitter ones among them. Pound them fine in a mortar, with the whites of three eggs. Add ten ounces of sugar and stir for a quarter of an hour. Put in little round or ob long heaps on a sheet of white paper, dusted over with flour. Sprinkle sugar over the macaroons and bake in a slow oven. Pot Pie. —Cut veal, beef or chicken into pieces, and put into boiling water enough to cover, with two slices of bacon; cover closely, and boil an hour and season to taste; make a batter of two well-beaten eggs, two cups of milk, teaspoonful of baking pow der and flour, drop in separate spoonfuls while boiling, and cook five minutes; serve immediately. Where Rastas Was Lacking. “Why, Uncle Rastus, what’s the matter with your leg? That’s a bad limp you have.” “Well, Colonel, dey is several causes to whieh I ’tribute dt trouble.
