Only those who have spent months or years from home and friends realize just how much is. conveyed in a small package or a letter Bearing the postmark of home, no with what eagerness is'the wrapper unfolded and the contents therein devoured. Even the newspaper, which at home is throyn aside with the expression, "There's nothing in it," is the most welcome of visitors, and its every line receives our undivided atten tion. The most trivial occurrences at home increase in magnitude, until they bscome all important when viewed from far distant lands. Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder and the dear ones at home grow dearer as we think of the mountains, rivers and lands which sep arate us' from those we love. Particularly does this feeling of home sickness take possession of the wanderer when the Star of Bethlehem is eeen to approach and Christmas tide, with alt its home cheer, "is to be spent among strangers. Then do we in imagination see the yule log burning brightly and the old folks at home gather round, and as we picture the vacant chair and wonder if as they meet we are missed, a "feeling of sadness comes o'er us that our souls cannot resist." But what of those who have left all to fight for their country? who have faced shot and shell and braved the pestilence of foreign lands that the Christoiastide might Tiot find our land dishonored, but that they might offer as a present to the United States the lands which they have bought with' their olood? In return ought we not to do the little which lieB in our power to cheer their loneliness and remind them that in the hearts of those at home they have an abiding place? In fancy we see, them anxiously awaiting the ship which bears the Christmas mail, and watch them with tearful eyes remove the wrappings and press ' to their lips the loving gift of father, moth er, sister, brother or perhaps "another, not a sister in the happy days gone by." Some are too weak to open the packages, but are no lesB anxious to behold the contents, the sight of which seems to cool the fevered brow and bid the aching heart be still. Have we made the side lights thrown on the picture too heavy? should they have a .brighter hue? The happy look on the faces of those who receive the Christmas boxes from relatives and friends will brighten up' the darkesty picture which could be drawn, and even lend its splendor to the Christmas star which shines over Manila. Let us not forget the brave hearts in far off lands who long for a token from home when the thought of the greatest gift ever given , to man takes possession of us. Have you not a son, a brother, a lover or a friend, or do yoii not know of some one who has neither kith nor kin to whom you can send a Christmas ' greeting? The day will dawn the brighter for you in the thought , of having made others happy, , JOT BLAST .

The estimates compiled by the depart ment of agriculture represent the wheat crop of the world, this year, as the larg est on record, though its magnitude is somewhat offset by the small aaiount carried over from last year. The yield in Europe, as a whole, is found to be far in excess of the previous season, though there is evidence that the trop is short in Russia, an important source of sup ply, but one from which it seems to be impossible to .procure accurate figures. One of the best evidences that Russia Has n wheat to spare this year is found in the report, persistent' though unoffic ial, that the export of wheat from that country will seon be. prohibited, while another significant fact is the chartering of a Bteamer to load grain in this country for RusBia. It is reported that, despite the favorable showing of the Eastern crops, more than sixty steamers have been chartered within the past ten days to carry grain across the Atlantic, which is another indication that Russia will not be able to furnish its usual quota. More than that, it seems to show that the American farmer is sure of a foreign market, no matter, what may . be the condition of the world's grain crops. PKBBONAL MENTION. C. R.
