CHRISTMAS DAY.
Of all the days of the year Christ
mas takes precedence by long odds
s & holiday over all others. Among
Christian people, the world over, it
is a day of rejoicing, of rest from
"worldly occupation, of family re
unions, of interchange of tokens of
affection, of the laying aside of jeal
usies and strife, of peace on earth
and good will to all mankind. Long
before the Christian era it was kept
by the civilized people of those days
in honor of the return of the sun
from his southern journey ; but its
celebration did not have the same
meaning as is conveyed now. Then
it was a day of rejoicing that the
light of the world was noi to vanish ;
not to keep on its journey to the
south never to come back. '
Now it calls to our minds remem
brance of Him who showed us the
way to life everlasting; who taught
us the golden rule, and by His ex
ample, the glory of unselfish and un
dying love ; who taught us that it is
more blessed to give than to receive;
whose followeis were the poor and
the needy, and whose disciples were
of them.
Of all days Christmas is the most
blessed, for then even Dives opens
his purse for Lazarus. Around the
fireside gather three generations to
rejoice for manifold blessings re
ceived, and to renew the ties of
affection binding them together in
one household.
.Blessed aay i wnerein it is per
mitted the worldly to forget the race
for the things of the world and to ex
ercise in giving to the poor the
charity that is the one divine attrib
uie vouchsafed to man.
MEDICAL HEROISM.
mi ...
ne great American people are
prone at times to poke a little fun at
the medical fraternity, and especi
ally to joke them, about the spirit of
fraternity and harmony exhibited in
their intercourse with each other;
tout there is no doubt but that as a
class they are exceptionally brave
men. It requires, more than any
other calling, heroic qualities, and
these are shown every day in the
nnat.t.Ar.i if -f nrf xvau in vi-l-i 7 m nr7in.il
men expose themselves to all kinds
of contagious diseases in the course
of their . usual business. It takes
more genuine bravery to tackle a
cholera or yellow ( fever epidemic
than it does to charge a battery, and
the results are about as deadly.
u me nue ui experiment, too,
the medical fraternity is second to
no other, and that the science ad
vances more slowly than some others
is not due to less study or research,
"but to the fact that results aije harder
to be obtained, experiments being
handicapped by the fact that not
only have their remedies got to act
upon living tissues, but the diagnosis
must be made from symptoms. In
other words, in most professions or
trades a certain thing is to be ac
complished and the material to be,
worked upon is tangible and evident.
In medicine it is not. Yet in spite
of these drawbacks the science has
made giant strides in the past ten
years, and is progressing . now by
leaps and bounds.
Consumption, that heretofore re
sistless disease, is aireaay Decoming
controlable; diphtheria, cholera and
kindred diseases have vielded un the
secret of their causes to the patient
researches of the medical scholars,
and even the diead leprosy, it is
thought, will soon be under control.
At Lbs Angeles Tuesday, Dr. Thomas
Powell of Missouri made some re
markable experiments before a -party
of doctors in order to prove the effi
cacy or his remedy for certain dis
eases. He alarmed some of the phy
sicians present by injecting baccilus
tuberculosis and baccilli diphtherial
into himself, appearing to take them
without evil effect. He also injected
some bactina into two guinea oigs,
which promptly died. Yesterday he
injected sputum from a woman dy
ing of consumption into himself.
Can we wonder that doctors disa
gree and that each is so firmly fixed
in his opinions, when poe of them
will take the method used by Dr.
Powell to show hi. faith, in his belief?
Senator Mitchell has introduced a
bill providing that ; persons may
make final proof on timber and
stone lands before any officer quali
fied to take homestead proofs. As
the laws is at present, this class of
lands must be-proved up on before
the register and receiver of the land
office, and it often works hardships
and causes unnecessary- expense by
compelling parties to go a long dis
tance to make their proof.
This Is Tour Opportunity.
On receipt of ten cents, cash, or stamps,
a generous sample will be mailed of the
most popular Catarrh and Hay Fever Cure
(Ely's Cream Balm) sufficient to demon
strate the great merits of the remedy.
