Rock Crystal Spectacles and Kyeglaaa e Advice to oltl and young: In se lecting spectacles you should be cau tious not to take more magnifying vower than has been lost to the eye as in the same proportion that you pass that point of increase, will cause you further injury to the eye.

Following is a synopsis of the beautiful little juvenile operetta 'King Winter's Court," which is to be presented at the St. Jolm'sSchool House on Wednesday night: King Winter s Court opens with a proposal from the King to the mem bers of his court, "to decide what we shall do to make mankind happy this Christmas tide." He tells them that- everywhere the gifts of King Winter are exnected and asks what they will do to help in this noble yant. All promise to lend their aid 'in largest Christmas measure,'1 and call in song, for Joy, fcveet Hope, Love and Mirth, who enter with theJChristmas tree, and tell the sweet story, of the long ago Mirth suggests that the King will call in the help of Old Santa Clans who has for ages been the joy of the little folks. Old Santa enters the Court, and agrees readily unto King Winter's proposal, promising to do all in his power for the hap piness of mankind and fcthe little folks in particular. Scene 2nd discloses a sitting room with several children chatting and writing letters to Santa Claus. while stockings are hung round the chiui-. ney with care, r hopes tha St. Nicholas soon . would be .there. Dream Fairy and attendants enter4 and with their magic, wands, trans fer the drowsy children to the Court of Slumberland. Meantime St. Nick comes in, ladenwith toys, and fills the stockings, while the unconscious children dream the sweet illusion . of innocent, happy childhood. Scene 3d.

Christina. vThe observation 'of (Ihristiuas'as'a festival is weJl nighuniversal among allof the" Christian nations. In the United States within the mem ory of a generation, itha come into much prominence, so that all have come to celebrate it both in its re ligious and social aspects. The general manner of its observ ance in America is the result- of the blending of the customs of the vari ous European nations. The insti tution of the Christmas tree, the giving.of presents, and the legends of St. Nicholas, Kriss Jirinkle, or Santa Klaus, together with the hanging of the stockings on Christ mas Eve, and other attendant cere monies associated with these legends, we derive from the Germans and Dutch, among Avhose descendants in the New World these customs long existed before they were incorpor ated in their present modified form in the general manners of the com mnnity. The custom of the Christ mas dinner is an" inheritance fr'om Old England, as are many of the games, sperts and pastimes in the line of public and private entertain ments that are common at this sea son. -The European customs in con: neetion with Christmas are readily traced back to old Roman, Saxon . Druidic.al, or qth.er religious and so cial ceremonials of "the ancient an cestry. Thus the English customs in regard to the, mistletoe and the yule log are survivals of old British rites practiced by the Druids, and the boisterous fun and license allow" ed inmahy of the continental Euro pean countries in connection with the Christmas holidays have been claimed by scholars to be directly descended from the Roman Satur nalia, or those of ancient German and Norse mythologies. No matter what may be the opin ions of individual critics as to the sj'mbolic and commemorative char acter of Christmas as a religions hol iday, the factuthat it has come to represent beneficence, good will, helpfulness, sympathjvand a host of social virtues, which are inculcated in a very vital manner by the cus loins of the da v. has t;rnfel to dis' arm captious oletr-.tions.
