are all put out on the bed in easy reach.
Aunt Maria shines the shoes until you can
see yourself on their polished surfaces.
The boys, in a home-made sleigh, are off
for the girls, sometimes live or six miles
away. The girls at the house wait for
their beaux, who come likewise from the
neighboring houses or from the little
towns near by. "Zip, aip, ha, ha, hurrah,"
and up conies a sled with a dosen young
folks bound for the party. The sled is a

have been stripped of their spring seats to
equip the sleigh. The bed of the box is
filled with hay, which keeps everybody's
feet warm. Away the sled whirls, taking
a short cut across the bottoms, running
counter to rocks and logs under the snow,
and almost spilling the whole party out
Out In the open road another sleigh turns
in at the crossing ahead. This Is the sig
nal for a race. The horses know it, and
give a bound that brings the two wagon
boxes abreast of each other.
The party is In full swing by 8 o'clock,
and supper is served by 10. Old Uncle
Ben furnishes the music for "snap,
"Weevilly Wheat," and all the other rol
licking games. Uncle Ben begins to "tune
un." while everybody shoves his chair
back against the side of the wall to clear
the center of the floor. "Twa-ang, scr-a-ape,
tweedle, leedle, leedle, le-e," goes the
fiddle, while Uncle Ben screws his face
into a thousand wrinkles. Sometimes, of
late, the Hills boys have furnished the
music for the parties, much to the disgust
of Uncle Beu. He declares that "wen

As 12 o'clock approaches everybody Is
alert to get everybody else's Christmas

breaks up, the young folks race home, and
big and little hang up their stockings In

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS GIFT.
Malta Your Gift aPnraOne, and Give
It with Lore,
"If you had the wealth of the world you
could uot equal that first Christmas gift,"
writes Kuth Ashmore in an article on
"Girls and Their Christmas-Giving," In
the Ladies' Home Journal. "And you can
only imitate it by making your gift a pure
one, and giving it with love. You want
to share, this Chrlstinastlde, your faith,
your hope and your charity with those you
love. You want to make your very 'good
morning1 tell of that good morning that
came so many hundred years ago when
the little Child first wakened on tills earth.
You want to think of the gifts that were
brought to lllm and what they typified.
You want to have your heart full ot Joy,
and love, and hope so full that it will
brim over and the rest of the world share
It with you. You want to tell, In your
speech aud in your eyes, and from your
heart, of the gladness of the time. Yon
want to make this gladness go out to some
one who Is In grief. These are the days
when you must needs give of your good
things, and among all your possessions
there Is nothing so good as a belief In
God and a hope for the future. That was
what the little Child came to tell about.
Surely the Christmastide la the feast of
all others that appeals to women, and as
the story is told again and again by the
bells as they ring, by the carols as they
are sung, by the preacher from the pulpit,
we know that 'Unto us a Child was born,'
and peace and good will reign all over the
land. Let peace Und good will be in your
heart, and from you they will go and
spread all over the land. It is to the wom
en, thank God, that the happiness of the
Christmastide specially comes. And wom
en are generous, else one of them never

Mistletoe and Christmas.
' The connection of mistletoe with Christ
mas is a very curious one, and far from
being a general one. Literature is, per
haps, mainly responsible tor it, In that
allusions to a custom in a great degree
purely local have made a targe number
of persons Interested tn the plant. It,
moreover, seems that the custom of using
it Iu Christmas decorations depends on
two considerations Brat, Its evergreen
habit; and second, the veneration in which
it was held by the Druids.
The reasons mentioned have no doubt
done much to secure for the mistletoe the
place which In recent times it has held in
Christmas festivities, but it is not so uni
versally honored at Yuletide-as the holly.
V- .. kn m n. ........ ,U,I,
without stir mistletoe at all. hut to the
majority of the people a Christmas with
out a sprig or two of holly would scarcely
seem to be Christmas at all.
Lord of Misrule.
Down to the reign of Henry VIII., and
occasionally since, a "Lord of Misrule"
was appointed to direct the amusements
of the English court during the holidays.
He presided over the festivities, prepared
the games, directed the sports, and saw
that the court was kept properly amused
during Christmas week. The office was
considered highly honorable, and the
"Lord of Misrule" was generally some
wealthy nobleman who was willing to
spend money lavishly in promoting the
gaieties of the court. It Is of record that
during the reign of Elizabeth, Essex, as
"Lord of Misrule," spent In one Christ
mas season 3,000 of his own money on
the court games. '
; Yule Cakes, -. ,
Yule dongh, a kind of baby or little
image intended to represent the child Je
sus, made of paste, was formerly baked at
Christmas and presented by bakers to
their customer "in the same manner as
the chandlers gave candles." They are
still called Yule cake in the county of
Durham, England.

XCxpnrt of Hailed Fish.
Japan has become a now customer for
the fish of the Northwest, and last year
1,400 tons of suited fish was shipped
from tho Noith Pacific, coast. The
Nippon Trading Company of Seattle
has gone aotlvuly Into the business of
shipping salt fish, and buy in all the
porta ol the Sound and British Colum
bia. This year they are shipping over
600 tons, and have orders for more if
they could . gut the fish. Scuttle
shipped out 80U tons lust year and 'XV
coma shipped the same amount, while
about 600 tons wub bought and shipped
from the JFraaer river. There are be
sides the Nippon Company, which is
made up of local Japanese business
men, three or four othui firms there
engaged in exporting fish. The North
Japan fishing industiy Is running out
and her people are looking this way for
a supply, the same as they are looking
to this coast for flour and other natural
product.
Advance In Price ef Fish.
At Seattle the price of salmon has
advanced from 10 cents per pound to
15 cents per pound in the last few
days, the oanse being assigned to the
closing of the season and consequent
scarcity of fish. The demand for fish
iu general is reported to be better than
has been the case for some time, Bteel
head salmon are beginning to run and
the Tyee variety is expeoted in a few
weeks, but as yet the run is rather
short. Good fishing is reported in the
Narrows; few miles from Tiicoma, and
the run is expected to continue there
until January I. The .catch now is
said to be about 13,000 salmon daily,
of the dog salmon variety. A tan her
ring were captured at Quartermaster
harbor on Saturday and it is said that
they were the forerunners of the regu
lar season' run.

ment to the islands. The short grain
crop in California last year has turned
the greater portion of the trans-Pacific
demand to Oregon and Washington.
Portland and Washington flonr cargoes
have been discbarigng in San Francisco
for a number of week past, and then
reshipped by the California to Hono

of many similar engagements.
