You know how cold e hin, is, how your fingers stick to pis on tal that is near the out-of-doors, and how the touch of the icy thing stings. Now just suppose you put that key, or door-lock into your mouth, how do you think the sensitive skin there would like it? Well, torture like that our horses are suffering daily. Bits get just as cold as anything else, but nobody, or few people, think of warm- itig them before they put them in the horses' mouths. Ninety-nine out of every hundred men would do this, I kelieve, if the women only asked them too. It only means holding it in the hands, or for a few seconds inside the coat. Won't women of all classes, who are at all in the way of saying a good word in this humane cause, do 80! * vy » . A girl said a wise thing the other day, and a true thing too, when she condemned in no 'measured terms the giving of rich gifts to the rich, and poor presents to the poor, Just as if the order of giving shouldn't be re- versed. The handsome, the dainty, the valuable, to the little woman whose purse contains just endugh money to necessaries, The trifle just to show good will, to the woman who has so many luxuries, she might almost dis- pense with the necessaries, 'It makes me cross," said the girl in question, "to see people who really can't af ford it, straining. themselves to give a handsome present to a wealthy friend or acquaintance, who has more than she knows what to do with, and then giving some paltry bit of prettiness to some one who would so much like the small piece of silver; or the deli- cate piece of china, which exist for her only in the jewellers' windows." It just needs a little bit of bravery, a little bit of honesty, a little bit of sclf-sderilice, mixed with the real spirit of Christmas kindness, to grade our gifts, not so much according to that a' woman hath, as to that which she hath not. We haven't all got our presents yet. Can't we make up our minds to be generous in the right direction 2 . . » . Ono of the extremely pleasant func- tions for which Mrs. Goodwin is not- ed, was given by her on Tuesday af- térnoon, when the senior and junior men in science, and the college girls, were entertained at tea.
