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 : “History, 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.” hipaa ttm Mistakes of the Woman of Small Means. ‘Sometimes a wife settles down into a dreary Comestic routine, honastly believing that until her vusband’s financas improve there is no other course for her to pur- sue,’ writes Heilesn Jay in the January Ladies Home Journal. “In 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 "CURE CONSTIPATION sel AR ia 4p a yal re ree Ml na ; : ; <= eperrepy tt!

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,’ 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. ae ieee Se ed Reciprocity. Phitts—Ha, old fellow! How are you? Just heard that you have gone into the newspaper business.
