• A sister of the Duchess of Marlborough, at her home in Vermont, invited all the villagers to a Christinas fete, and among the many adornments of the tree one item consisted of thirty-five gold watches. A returned miner from Klondyke spent .£14,000 upon his tree, and his friends carried away gold nuggets as souvenirs, while the children used bits of gold to play at marbles. One of the latest American inventions is eaid to be a device toy which, photographs can be sent from place to place by telegraph quite as easily as any ordinary message. The inventor is a jeweller of St Paul. He believes the instrument will be especially valuable in helping to catoh criminals fleeing from justice, by scattering their photographs over the country urith the speed of electricity, ' instead of by the comparatively slow medium of the mails. . Young and Old — Cough and cold— Under the mould— Their story told. The moral is here-Behold !
That you may not succumb, In life's busy hum, When coughs and colds come, Take Benjamin Gum.
*Hallowedbytimes Young people and old Describe it in rhyme, Good as gold for a cold. .
