When the cran berry Bauce Is brought on each guest must place a cranberry on the end of a knife, holding the knife in tne left hand with the right hand close behindMhe cranberry. At the word "snap," given by the hostess, the cranberry should be snapped with the first finger of the right hand at the target. The game shall- be con tinued until each player Iras shot away all of his cranberries. The score is counted thus: Hitting the hostess with a cran berry counts one. Hitting grandpa counts two: gTandma. three: Uncle Will, four; Uncle Tom, five; and so on, de pending on whom the guests and those around the table are. A cranberry that goes on the floor Is out of play, but one that falls in y person's lap or sticks in tne hair or on a coat or dress can be picked tip and played again. Any body that hits anybody else square ly on the nose counts fifty to the locky playe's score. This Is a highly diverting game and ne tnat all will enjoy, especially the hostess. New York World. Saving Tp For Christmas. A well dressed man In a Market street car tendered the conductor a one dollar bill in payment for two fares and, receiving his change, care- fully selected tne ten ceni pieces and placed them in a separate pocket. "From the 1st of September until Christmas I never spend a dime, ' ne explained to his companion. "Every time I get one I keep it separate from my other change, and wnen i get home I -deposit my dimes in one of those savings banks that don't open until they contain $10. I am one or a very large family addicted to tne Christmas present habit, and some times I am obliged to give as many as thirty or forty gifts. By not spending my dimes 1 create a Chris tmas fund without really feeling it. 1 have done this for several years and find it an excellent plan." Philadelphia.

A., an Engiisntnun who when quite a young man in 1S4 4 was prompted at Christmas to make a little sketch symbolic oi tne season's joys and festivities and to send it to a iriend. It seemed to give great pleasure, and the next year Mr. Dobson determined to fol low up the idea on a larger scaie and by having his card lithographed w.is enabled to send copies to twenty live are thirty friends.

That total exceeded the total for the entire 12 months of 1912 and was about one-third more for the past nine months than for the entire year of 19 11. The record year thus far was 1SU7 when 1,285,349 immigrant aliens arrived. The current calen dar year, however, with three more months to run is almost certain to exceed the enormous total of six i years ago.

"Ah, to aid the poor, tired shop girl and help the movement tor eany deliveries!" her son remarked In tome of commendation. "Never thought of that," was the disconcerting reply.

They's a kind o' feel in the air to me When the Christmas times sets m That's about as much of a mystery As ever I've run ag'in. Fer instunce, now, whilse I gain is weight And gineral health, I swear They's a goneness somers I can't quite state A kind o' feel in the air. They's a feel in the Chris'mas air goes right To the spflt where a man lives at! It gives a feller a appetite They ain't no doubt about that: And yit they's somepin I don't know what That follers me here and there And ha'nts and worries and 'spares me not A kind o' feel in the air. They's a feel, as I say, In the a!r that's iet As blamed-on sad as sweet. In the same ra-sho as I feel the Best And am the spryest on my feet They's alius a kind o' sort'of a acne That I can't locate nowhere, But It comes with Chris'mas, ana no times. In one of the Coventry plays occurs what is plainly a cradle song to the infant Jesus, which has been preserved in music as well as in text. Five hundred years ago the mere picture did not suffice the faithful. The scene had to be enacted. The little play was called "The Cradling of the Child." Standing on a plat form above the manger, boys repre senting angels proclaimed the birth of the Saviour. Priests took the part of shepherds and gathered a round the manger. Here stood Joseph, Mary and the servant of Joseph. After the choir had sung hymns, among them "Chrlstus Natus Hodle." Mary sang the first verse of the Ger man song. "Joseph, dear Joseph mine, help me to rock my babe, tnat c.od may reward me In heaven tne Babe of the Virgin Mary." Joseph answered with the second verse ef the song. "Gladly, my dear nurse, will I help thee rock thy babe, that God may reward me In heaven." etc. The servant sang: "Rejoice, Chris tian multitude. The King of heaven, who was born of the Virgin Mary, has taken on mertallty." An so the scene In the cnurcnes went on every Christmas. M -v nnre ign.

The Shoppers. Washington Star. Oh, have you seen the shopping crush Where all the bargains are? With pallid face and solemn hush Man views it from afar, But woman braves the awful din And does not lose her head. And angels, so to speak, rush in Where oers fear to tread. She carries bundles in each hand And 'neatli her elbows, too. And with a smile so sweet and bland Still looks for some thing new.
