Christmas Gifts for Our Men Folk.

. ♦— > Knitted silk ties, cum on, green, or navy blue, are in hi^h favor just now, and form a pretty and useful Christmas gifts for oar male relatives and friends, for whom it is often d fficult to devise appropriate presents. Then mattress pincushions are handy articles, Th«f should be of oblong shape, about lfcinlu thickness. The top and bottom can be made of black satin, and the sides of yellow or scarlet) satin ribbon. In these everything depends upon the quality of the materials and the neatness of the workmanship. A monogram or Initial letter wrought in pins Is a charming finishing touch. The common earthenware jars In which table salt is sold can be ooncoeted into very pretty tobacco jars. They ehoiiltf have two or three coats cf shaded green orjbrownoil pdafefor back ground, on which a floral device and monogram can be painted in bold, masterly touches to suib the roughness of the pottery; a finicking and high finished style would be quite out of place, and far lees effective. The tobacco flour (nicotiana affipis) would be an appropriate deooration. Tie cases (Win long by S^in"wide) calf be made of black satin, lined with a light coloured silk, and either hand patated with floral spray and monogram or embroidered in ribbon work. These are a valuable addition to any man's wardrobe as nothing keeps tho regulation white tie more absolutely safe fromT disfiguring I creases. ! The ordinary tobacco pouch of thin indiarobber can be covered With chamois i leather and then embroidered in silks, and thus transformed into a thing of beauty ; and a common flat pebble from the sea shore, when decorated with a landscape iv oils, makes an acceptable paper weight! while a large slaed penwiper, surmounted by a baby bunny, such as are sold nearly anywhere, may fitly adorn the writing table of i h.< man who shoots. ••

He remarked Mack, you look very ill' (and yon may depend I was). Re added, * Will you take some medicine if I procure ib I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight 1 began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that sach a medicine merits.

Dsied Fruits—lb seems strange to us that New Season's Pried Fruits, such as ourrantt» sultanas, etc, are sold cheaper in Ashburton than by any of the Christchurch houses, which any of our readers will readily see by comparing Messrs Fletoher Bros advertise, ment with any of the Christchurch store** keepers' advertisement. We consider they should be well patronised on account Of their keeping the prices of groceries to the lowest payable level. There is no doubt about It, if they were not doing business in Ash burton our readers would have to pay far higher for their goods. So therefore it is to your interest to give them all the business yeu can e_ 11l ——M—| I, ■ i 111 jiff All Emulsions of Cod Li«ei? Oil have some value in healing the Lungs and Curing Consumption.
