A merry christmas
Puzzle
Santa Claus wishes our puzzlists the compliments of the season and presents a puzzle which may be looked upon as a pictorial illustration of the famous riddle propounded by the Bishop of Oxford, wherein the parts of the human body were described. Santa Claus is the only complete person in view, but if you will carefully inspect and guess the correct names to each and all of his stock of presents it will be found to contain an interesting and instrustive lesson in human anatomy, accompanied by a chance to win one of the gifts which he proposes to divide among those who guess the best lists of the articles contained in his capacious sack. Of course, every one will see the palms and calf at a glance, but it is pretty safe to say that there are many things which are liable to be overlooked, so the aim is to see who can make the most complete list, even if everything is not discovered.
