CHRISTMAS. .'
Tooiorrow will be a holiday throng
out Christendom, and will be observed
. with ceremonies commemorative of the
. birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of
- the world. If at first the day was
observed only by those who believed
in the divine mission of Christ, it has
now become of almost universal sig
nificance among all classes of people
whether they are practical Christians
or not, and Christmas receives the
am welcomn from those who are de
, vootly religions as from others inclined
to akeptism regarding the accepted dog
mas. All acknowledge the great ex
cellence of the character of the Nuza
rene, and that the. reformation be in
augurated was for all time and for all
people. The season is advantageous
for such a celebration, because it is
one usually of rest and recreation, and
during the frost and snows of winter a
general gift day, in which the unfor
tunate are especially remembered, is
in harmony with the conditions of life.
The great teacher said "the poor ye
have with you always," and a more
becoming celebration of his birth could
not be had than that of generous acts
towards those in need and charitable
deeds towards the erring. This is the
inauguration of the reign of peace and
good will, and the day is of as much
significance now in this regard as it
was nearly nineteen hundred years
ago to the simple shepherds on tne
plains of Judea.
Toe Christian era marks an epoch
in the history of the human race be
fore which all others pale into insig
nifioince. Christ taught heart religion,
and by precept and practice' elevated
his bearers above the cold forms and
. ceremonies that had been the basis of
Judaism for three thousand years.
Motive formed the essence of the sin,
and the act itself was to be judged by
the heart impulse that was tne pro
pelling force. This was a new gospel
that appealed to the higher qualities
of mind and soul, and elevated man
above the sordid and selfish ends of
life. In this Christianity was the doc
trine of the purest, best and brightest
of earth, and its influence pervaded all
conditions of society. It taught the
fatherhood of God and the fraternity
of man, and leveled down the walls of
caste and prejudice whioh had caused
heart burnings and bitter hatreds from
the time the world was spoken into
existence "If thine enemy hunger
feed him, if he thrist give him drink"
was the divine injunction, and this
recreates the world on a juster and
more humane foundation. Christ's
mission was not fulfilled with the mere
enunciation of precepts; but passing
his life among the most prejudiced of
peoplu, who believed that they were
ohosen by God to exemplify his wis
dom and goodness, were nas never
been the least stain in this regard on
his character. From the time he
taught in the temple, to the terrible
agony of Oethsemane and the sublime
death on the cross, Jesus Christ was
the exemplar of everything; that could
make mankind pure and noble.
Christmas is the aniversary of the
birth of the Savior, and inasmuch as
the heart responds to generoas impul
ses, unselfish acts and charttable deeds
it is becomingly celebrated. The world
should be in peace and harmony, ha
tred and jealousy should be banbbed
from all breasts, and on this day the
kingdom of God should reign in every
heart This is Christmas as it should
be, and the God of love, mercy and jus
tice will smile upon and bless all efforts
in this direction.

The Dominical letters.
The Romans used the first eight
letters of the alphabet, A to H, to
mark the consecutive days of their
recurring nundinal period. The early
Christians adopted the same plan for
marking the days of the week, drop
ping the last letter (H as unneces
sary. In the church calendar A has
always stood for the 1st of January,
G for the second, etc., on down to 6
for the 7th, and then the cycle began
again with A, which would make it
return on the 15th, the 22d and so on.
Each day of the year has thus its
calendar letter, and the letter which
falls on the first Sunday' is the
"Dominical letter" of the year. Feb.
28 has always the letter C, and March
1, the letter D. Feb. 29, or "leap day,"

tude. There is a great difference of
opinion regarding the origin of this
floating mass. Some believe it to be
detached from rocks at a considera
ble depth in the latitude where it
floats. Others suppose it to come
from the shores of the northern seas,
having been detached from the rocks
by the violence of the winds. Some
again imagine that it comes from the I
rocky shores of Florida and Mexico,
while many others agree with me in
believing that it has never had any
other than it present place of abode.

Wonderful Strength.
In the sixteenth century there lived
a remarkably sarong man, a major,
named Barsaoas. One day he took
up an anvil weighing 500 pounds and
hid it under his cloak. He could crush
between his fingers the limbs of big
animals One day, seeing a crowd
looking at an enormous dancing bear,
he offered to wrestle with the ani
mal. The major threw the bear
down several times, and judging it
unworthy of further struggles slew
the animal with his fist and carried
it away on his shoulders amid the
cheers of the crowd.
Another day, seeing several officers
of his regiment surrounded by an
angry crowd, he ran to them, knock
ing people down right and left as a
child does with a pack of cards. The
crowd, exasperated, turned round on
him, but seizing two of his assailants,
one with each hand, he used them as
clubs on the crowd, who, astonished
at his extraordinary display of
strength, quickly drew back. Once
he squeezed to pulp the hand of a
man who wanted to fight him.
Barsabas' sister was also remarka
ble for her strength. Some burglars
entered a convent where she was.
She threw one out of the window
and killed two others with a pillar
she tore down and used as a club.

Nose Bleeding.
Obstinate nose bleeding is frequent
ly one of the most difficult things to
check. Several aggravated cases
have lately occurred at the hospital
of the University of Pennsylvania.
As a last resort Dr. H. Hayes Agnew
tried ham fat with great success.
Two large cylinders of bacon were
forced well into the nostrils, and the
hemorrhage ceased at once. This is a
very simple remedy and one which
Ehould be remembered in cases of
emergency. Kew York Dispatch.

taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and
when I began to recover, I had the worst
