Justice Hughes seems determ
ined to acquire immortal fame as
the only Republican who ever re
fused a presidential nomination.
A minister, writing for a current
magazine, warns us not to lend
money to our kinfolk. “Make him
a present of the money," says the
minister, "but if you don't care to
give it away, harden your heart
and say‘No!’ You'll keep the rel
ative’s friendship longer, and you'll
have a bigger bank account at the
end of the year.” However, if it
were not for the occasional gener
ousity of our kin and their faith in
our budding enterprises a lot of us,
victims of such a system as is ad
vocated by the minister, would be
perpetually “broke."
There's a pretty custom in some
parts of the country which seems
to have come down from the
French pioneers, of putting one
tall, white wax candle, properly
safeguarded, of course, from cur
tains, drafts of other fire dangers,
in a window on Christmas Eve,
letting it burn all through the night
to "light the Christ-child coming
down to earth." This helps the
children to remember that Christ
mas is not all getting and giving of
material presents-it's the birth
day of one who loved them, one
whose sweetness of spirit they
may well try to learn.

f Croup
♦
“ I don’t think there is a more anxious ,
time for parents than when their children
have croup. Without they are prepared
with Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy they
must wait for the doctor and listen to the
choking, metaiiic cough and watch their

v/ i .1 .1 f “Craaay” Chamberlain
Y ou know the great danger ot croup
is the formation cf a false membrane in the larynx, and until this
is expelled relief cannot be obtained, and the spasmodic choking
continues. Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in frequent doses.
It will loosen this membrane and cause the child to expel it by
vomiting.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is an absolutely safe and certain remedy for croup, and if given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the attack.”

Liked “Musty" Ale.
Some Harvard students with a thirst
for ale as great as. or more compelling
than, their thirst for learning, fell In
a body upon a Boston taverner, de
manding “AleI” Mine host informed
his guests, with punctilious regrets,
that the only ale he had “alas! was
musty.” This mellow suggestion ap
pealed to the callow youtns who,
smacking their lips in anticipation,
ordered "Glasses round.” These the
good man brought wth some trepida
tion, but the students, wagging their
heads like true cognoscenti, ordered
more, until closing time compelled
them to wend their uncertain ways
Camhridgeward. Returning the next
night with their ranks heavily recruit
ed, before the night was over the sons
of Harvard had broached and emptied
the first barrel of musty “ever.” Our
boniface, equal to the emergency, or
dered from his brewer an ale made
musty in brewing-which today is no
inconsiderable commercial commodity
in the commonwealth of Massachu
setts.
An Old Philanthropy.
That there is such an institution as
“The General Society of Mechanics
and Tradesmen of the City of New
York” will probably be newrs to the
majority of the people who read of
the bequest of $1,800,000 to it in the
will of the late Amos F. Eno. Yet it
has been doing a good work in this
city ever since 1785, and this splen
did addition to its resources will be
the means of extending activities long
shown by experience to meet real
needs. Its evening classes in draw
ing, modeling, architecture, industrial
electricity, etc., are attended by more
than 2,000 students; and it is said that
there is a waiting list of an equal
number. Such a bequest is a remind
er at once of the grand scale on
which charitable and educational
gifts are made in this country in our
time, and of the great number and
variety of institutions devoted to
beneficent objects, many of them sel
dom in the public eye. that are being
maintained by private endowment.—
