No More Saturday Christmases
for 12 Years.
Prof. Justus Scheffer, writing
in the Hagerstown, Md., Mail di-
rects attention to the fact that
after this year 12 years will
elapsa before Christmas will
again occur on Saturday. The
next time will be in the vear 1910.
In considering this matter Mr.
Scheffer says :
oHistory, this greatest of all
dramas, has taught the serious
lesson that in the space of twalve
the most stupendou-
changes may take place in the
condition of nations, families and
individuals. What great events
may not the next ten years bring
about! Great fortunes have
been made orsweptaway. Many
», perssn who now in the -plenti-
tude of health and happiness
does not think of the ravages of
time, will have lost that which 1s
dearest to his soul. How many
cherished hopes will be shattered
at the end of that pericd of 12
years! How many of those whom
we cherish and love will, by that
time have been called away by
the angel of death, H[uped for
sueecess will have proved utter
failure, the radiance of happi-
ness changed iuto the gloom of
despair.�

Mistakes of the Woman of Small
Means.
~Sometimes a wife settles down
into a dreary Comestic routine,
honastly believing that until her
vusbandTs financas improve there
is no other course for her to pur-
sue,T writes Heilesn Jay in the
January Ladies Home Journal.
oIn this matter, a3 in many
others concerning home lifr, the
false standard of money obtains
rather than the simple law of
common-sense. The very fact
that taany people can aftord
elaborate entertainments does
not imply that they cannot enjoy
sipple ones. Novelty is the
charm of Ifa, as variety ig its
spice, aud very often the guests
who come from luxurious homes
ure the most easily pleased.
Competent housekeepers . are
generaily tha most generous id
their estimate of the efforts of
others, and the young housewife
who through fear of criticism
velases to invite her richer or
more experienced friend to her
home issimply cheating herself

'Not a Patent Medicine, Kut a Safe Cure
What Is Year?
Superficial observation has de.
fined fear as that characteristic of
living creatures which teaches them
to avoid danger and thereby protect
themselves from injury or death.
But if our study of mature is|ex-
haustive we will find that fear does
not protect limb or life. Indeed na-
ture has furnished one class of liv-
ing organisms strictly as the prey
of another. There are multitudes
of creatures that feed upon other
forms of animal life and rarely in-
dulge in a vegetable diet. In a state
of nature these animals and insects
hunt their prey. Itis thereforea
logical inference that if fear were
given asa protection to life many
of these living things would be with-
out the means of subsistence. A
number of scientists, prominent
among whom was Darwin, have
given profound study to the psycho-
genesis of fear and found that it has
only a most imperfect relation to
the self preservation of the creature
that experiences it. It is supposed
that the attitude of kneeling, Which
is the posture associated with sup- \
plication and terror, originally came ,
from the inability of the muscles of
the legs to support the weight,
thereby causing the individual to
sink to the ground. Dogs crouch
und whine when frightened, and
horses become so tremulous that
their legs can scarcely sustain them.
"New York Ledger..
Plenty of Church Room.
Some one has said, ~If on any
Sabbath morning every person of
suitable uge should attend public
worship, not more than one-fourth
could be comfortably accommo-
dated.�
In the eleventh census of the
United States, for 1890, in the vol-
ume on ~Statistics of Churches,T
page 17, the total number of church
sittings is given as 43,564,863; add to
these, sittings in halls, school-
houses, etc., used as places of pub-
lic worship, a total sitting for
2,450,858, and there is actually pro-
vided a grand total of 46,000,000 of
sittings at any one hour of public
worship for a population of 65,000,-
000. If now the aged, infirm, chil-
dren, infants, nurses, etc., be placed
at the low estimate of 20,000,000,
then there was abundant provision |
in 1890 not to seat ~one-fourth of the
population, but there was a seat for
every one who would come up to,
46,000,000. This ratio has not chang-
ed materially."Homiletic Review.
