By Church MissiOHEB Baynes, of New Denver. ��� ���'.*������-���.; It is but the expression of a platitude to say that Christinas should be a season of joy and gladness. But there can he no real Christinas joy unless we get away from ourselves at this season. If Christmas teaches us any lesson, it is that of unselfishness, the lesson of personal interest in the welfare anil hap piness of others. Any other conception of the clay is foreign to the teachings of Him whose birth wo celebrate at the joyous Cluistmastide ; of Him who gave to the world it* greatest lesson of loving sc'f saerilioe, whose glad message of " Peace on earth and good-will to all men" forms the keynote of Christmas festivities In nil lands. Bee to it, then, that this Christmas is in very truth a seapon of joy and happiness, 11 it to ourselves merely, but to others. Begin with yourself and recolve to be "^Constantly happy, o'liew will catch the injection, for notli ng in more contagious then happiness. Many are absent from home and loved ones, and those who can, do not let fancied business cares prevent your joining once more with father and mother around lhe family fireside. The re-cementing of family ties, the renewing of friendships, is one of the greatest privileges of the Yulet'de season. ���. .Christinas, loo, is a good time to forget past differences *, to wipe out old scores. Herd not the sacrifice 'of personal dignity that may be cntaibd; you will he the happier and belter for forgiving, and being forgiven. While a majority ol British Columbia homes have been blessed with prosperity throughout the year tliat is almost pasBed, there ��i!l yet remain in every community those to "whom Christmas will have few joys, because of tion-snc es*, or may be ,of sore nlJhYtion. None need our syin- hg{C)\\y more at this season than the widow and the oiphan, the poor, the friend- lc-s, the sick and needy. There may be children loo, whose little hearts will yearn in v-dii for tha possession of ju*t one toy; who-c only Yul. tide happin'S", if we forget them, will be to view the Christmas displays in the shop windows. It is little short of a tragedy ihat any e.irld (mould awake io a giftless Christ- m s. Let us do o*ir licst to consider our less f irtunalo brethren that they may participate, in our joy and happinesa of the season ; therein will our o.tu happi- ness be the gteater and our lives the better. Remembering tho words of our Blessed Master: " Inasmuch as ye have done i* unto one of the lea t of these my Ir thren, ye have done it unto Mo." Church of St. Stephen, New Denver, B.C.

Primitive mining operations may be witnessed here and there within sound of modern mining machinery, but it remained for Tom Beyolds, a former Gilpin country miner to operate with a broom. Reynolds recently obtained a lease in the first level of the Wild Horse mine of the United Gold Mines Co. on Bull Hill in the Cripple Creek district, and it is making good for him, He is receiving returns of 25 Ounces to the ton on ore obtained by picking and sweeping tlie sides of a rich stope which has not been worked for several months. Using a broom and pick he has about 5 tons of ore sacked ready for shipment. s\\ ���Indiana s The Kootenay Bonspiel will be held atCranhrook at the end of January.

Keep briRht lookout tor- rard aud good luck to you. -Dickens,. Mill Zo our IReaoers Ht tfoome ano Hbvoao - Those who went to witness the performance by the Smith Pastime Co. in the expectation of seeing a bum show were agreeably fooled. Owing to poor advertising arrangements) tlie public were not there in such numbers ss the show deserved, but the sparse audience were given a rial treat in vaudeville and the applause was unstinting. "The Black Patti " lias a voice of exceeding sweetness and much power, and her numbers were heartily applauded. The songs and dances by the children were particularly smart, and the, costumes were elegant, As a comedian Mr. J. F. Smith was there with the goods, while as a dancer, Harry Earl is perhaps the best ever seen in Sandon. Its too bad that a really good show should play to such a thin house, but the punk outlitB which occasionally come and go are mainly responsible for the apathy of theatre goers. The company appeared In New Denver on Tuesday. The hearts of the children will bo made glad tomorrow (Friday). The Christm as Tree! What a train of waking memories it arouses. The good, soopin'her up, but supposing the mis-us old fashioned Christmas tree, rcsplen asked you to sweep tho house out, dent wilh lights and tinsel, its branches now wouldn't I here be a "roarin' "game ( bent down with the weight of presents " He gave his only begotten son." The world stands upon the threshold of that season of the year when the thought of Christendom instinctively tnrns to the most gladsome day in the annals of recorded time���the birthday of the Saviour of the world. We may not be able without finite understandings to comprehend the )v iglit and depth of the greit plan which came forth from thf mind of the Infinite and which comprehended the redempthn of the entire human race, but we find in tho Inspired Word this passage of unmistakable import, " For (iod so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever belleveth on Ilim should not perish but have evei lasting life." In those words we find an epitome of the divine plan. The motive and the reason arc both set forth, and while wc may maivcl over what was comprehended in that plan, we accept it as a great truth and know that tbe merging of the world from darkness into light dates from the hour when the Star of Bethlehem Dashed across the Judean sky. Jesus Christ was therefore God's first Christmas gift to a sad and weary world. No wonder that Heaven's joy hells rang I No wonder that the gates of Paradise aeomed to open while angels looked down upon the scene. In that hour wns bom the spirtt ol cheer, peace on earth and good will toward men which has never died out during all the centuries which have pa-sed. There have been times when its splendor has seemed dimnn d, and "when men appeared to forget the sentiments of that first Christmas message, but on Christmas day iteelf, few there nre who do not count it a privilege to journey in imaginstion with the wise men of the east, to that humble cradle in the manger which tbe Christ-child made holy with his presence. Rev. Fr. Jeannotte left yesterday for Kaslo, where he will conduct services on Sunday and celebrate mass on Christmas Eve. A car of ore from tho East Chance was sent on Monday to be sampled at tho Kootenay Reduction Works at Kaslo. Our old Mend " Dissolution at Hand" has bo.bhed up again. In the Old Country it is a penal crime to cry false news. for a few minutes? That game between rinks skipped by the president and vice-president was a dandy.

Of the Polmatier Sisters It would be hard Indiscriminate, as each ore is an artist in her own particular line. In the programof fourteen numbers there was sufficient variety to snp- uly half a dozen entertainments. The program consisted of overtures, string quartette, trios, duetts, cornet eoloe, trombone snloe, vocal lrio3and readings. Should this talented company ever visit our city again, it is needless to say, they will be erected by a bumper bouse. The Young Men's Club of the Methodist Church was instrumental in fur nitihing thiB treat last night. The pmall crew at work at the Colonial are doing good business among the ore. Since operations wero resumed by A. D. Coplen in the Fall four cars of ore have been shipped. Four more ears are now down ready for shipment, and four rars aro waiting to be brought down from Cody.

We bad arranged for some special Christmas matter to appear with Ibis iflBiic, but up to tbe time of going to press it has not arrived from Winnipeg, A inorry 'Xmas, any old way. The recent action on the part of a western mining camp in adopting rules declaring against Sunday labor, leminds us of a still more recent action just taken in France on the same subject. It appears that in the coal mining regions of that republic there has been no recognition of a day of cessation from labor, for many years. The matter has just been the subject of legislation which provides for one days rest in seven in all of the mines. Henceforth a day of rest will be enforced in French coal mines whether the human machines care for it or not. Safe to say that oneo'the system is in force it will not be discarded again. No greater error can be made by, mining companies than to make men work incessantly day in and day out; dulling tlie sensibilities and narrowing the interest in daily affairs ; sacrificing intelligence to brute strength and placing a a premium on physical accomplishment. The lesson would seem too old to have een missed by anyone who keeps in touch with the trend of human opinion, but occasions arise which show the necessity of repeating an already old story. We have previously expressed onr opinion on that extreme view of the Sunday labor matter which takes the stand that all operations should be suspended on that day. The idea is not practical in any sense. The point which reallv should be made, and which is too often missed by well mean- ini* individuals, is that the laborer should have his one day in seven, but not that all operations should be stopped on a certain day. In certain branches of the mining industry it is possible to have a cessation of labor on a certain day, and where this is feasible it is well to conform to the general custom. On the other hand theie are many opera- lions, particularly of a metallurgical nature, that cannot be neglected for twenty four hours, anil here it would be as great folly to insist on a certain day of rest as it would to fail to insist that each laborer take someday in (.even for re'ease from toil. Tlie point is well known by large companies and anyone can satiufy himself that it is the rule that most laborers have their day for rest and recreation at the end of six of labor. Conditions such as existed in the French coal camps, however, cannot in any way bo condoned. Now that the old system has given way to one of greater enlightenment, we believe that general social conditions among tho-e miners will improve markeJly.���Mining Reporter.

EAR off in the mount.**in lands, somewhere to the east of the setting sun, lies the principality of Graustark, serene relic of rare old feudal days. The traveler reaches the little domain after nn arduous, sometimes perilous; journey from the great European capitals, whether they be north or soulli or west ���never east. He crosses great rivers and wide plains; he winds through fertile valleys and over barren plateaus; he twists and turns and climbs among somber gorges and rugged mountains; be touches the cold clouds In one day and the placid warmth of the valley in ��� the next. One does uot go to Graustark for a pleasure jaunt. It is too far from tlie rest of the world, and the ways are often dangerous because of the strife among the tribes of the Intervening mountains. If one hungers for excitement nnd peril, he fiuds it in the journey from the north or the south Into the land of the Grnustarklans. From Vienna and other places almost directly west tho way Is not so full of thrills, for the railroad skirts the darkest of tbe danger lands. "Once In the heart of Graustark, bow- ever, the traveler is charmed into dreams of peace and happiness and��� paradise. The peasants and the poets slug iu oue voice and accord, their psalm being of never ending love, liown In the lowlands and up In the hills the simple worker of the soil rejoices thnt he lives in Graustark; in the towns and villages the humble merchant and his thrifty customer unite to sing the song of pence* and coutent- ment; iu the palaces of the noble tbe same patriotism warms Its heart with thoughts of Graustark, the ancient. Prince and pauper strike hands for the love of the land, while outside the great, heartless world goes rumbling ou without a thought of the rare little principality among the eastern mountains. In point of area Graustark is but n mite In the great galaxy of nations. Glancing over the map of the world, one Is almost sure to miss the infinitesimal patch of green that murks its location. One could not be blamed if he regarded tbe spot tis it typographical or topographical Illusion. Yet the people of this quaint little land bold In their hearts a lovo nnd a conlidence that are not surpassed by aiiy of the lordly monarchs who measure their patriotism by miles and millions. The Grnustarklans area sturdy, courageous race. From the faraway century wheu they fought themselves clem* of the Tartar yoke to this very hour they have been warriors of might and valor. The boundaries of their tiny doiuaiu were kept inviolate lor hundreds of years, and but ono victorious foe had come down to lay siege to Fdehvelss, the capital. Axpliiiln, tt powerful principality In the north, had conquered Graustark In the latter part of the nineteenth century, but only after a bitter war In which starvation nud famine proved far more destructive limn tbe arms of tho victors. The treaty of peace nnd the Indemnity thnt l'eil to the lot of vanquished Graustark have been discoursed upon nt length Ik at lenst one history. T!:ose who have followed thnt history must know, of course, that the reigning princess, Yetive, wns married to a youug American at the very tag end of the nineteenth century. This admirable couple met In quite romantic fashion while the young sovereign was traveling Incognito through the United States of America. The American, u splendid fellow named Lorry, was so persistent In the subsequent attack upon her heart that nil nncestrnl prejudices were swept away, aud she became his bride with the full consent of her entranced subjects. The manner In which he wooed nnd won tills young nud adorable ruler forms a very attractive chapter in romance, although iiumeutloned in history. This being the tale of another day, It Is not timely to dwell upon the interesting events which led up to the marriage of tlie Princess Yetive to Grenfall Lorry. Suf- llee It to say that Lorry won his bride ugaiust nil wishes und odds nnd nt the snme time won an endless love and esteem from the people of the little kingdom among the eastern hills. Two yenrs hnve passed since that notable wedding In Edelweiss. Lorry nud Ids wife, the princess, made their home lu Washington, but spent n few months of each year In Edelweiss. During the periods spout In Washington and In travel ber affairs In Graustark were in tlie hands of a capable*, austere old diplomat, her uncle, Count Caspar Halfbnt. Princess Volga reigned ns regent over the principality of Axphaln. To the south lny the principality of Dawsbergen, ruled by young Prince Iianlnn, whose half brother, the deposed Prince Gabriel, bad been for two years a prisoner in Grnnstnrk, the convicted assassin of Prince Lorenn of Axphaln, one time suitor for the hand of Yetive. It wns nfter lhe second visit of the Lorrys lo Edelweiss thai n serious turn nf affairs presented itself. Gabriel lind succeeded in escaping from his dungeon. Il's friends in I lawshergen slired up a revolution, and lmiitnn was driven from the throne nt Serros. On the arrival of Gabriel at the capital the army of Dawsbergen espoused the cause of the prince It had spurned, and, three dnys after his escape, he wns on his throne, defying Yetive and offering a price for the bend of the Unfortunate Dsntun, now n fugitive In the hills along the Grnnstnrk frontier. CHAPTER II. MAJOR GEORGE CALHOUN wns a member of congress from one of the southern states. His forefathers had represented the ���mine commonwealth, and so. It wns likely, would his descendants, if there Is virtue in the litness of things and lhe heredity of love. While intrepid frontiersmen were opening the trails through tbe fertile wilds west of the Alleghanles a strong branch of the Calhoun family followed close iu their footsteps. The major's great-grandfather saw the glories and the possibilities of the new territory. He struck: boldly forward from the old Revolutionary grounds, abandoning tbe luxuries and traditions of the Carolina.* for a fresh, wild life of promise. His sons and daughters became solid stones in the foundation of a commonwealth, and his grandchildren are still at work on the structure. State and national legislatures had known the Calhouns from the beginning. Battlefields had tested their valor, and drawing rooms bad proved their gentility. Major Calhoun lind fought with Stonewall Jackson and won his spurs, und ut the same time the heart and bund of Betty Hnswell, the stanchest Confederate who ever made flags, bandages and prayers for tbe boys lu gray. When tbe reconstruction came he went to congress, and later on became prominent in the United States consular service, for years holding an Important European post. Congress claimed bim once more iu the early nineties, aud there he Is nt this very time. Everybody In Washington's social and diplomatic circles admired the beautiful Beverly Calhoun. According to his own loving term of identification, she was tlie major's "youngest." The fair southerner had seen two seasons in the nation's capital. Cupid, standing directly In front of her, had shot his darts ruthlessly and reslst- lessly luto tbe passlug hosts, and mas- e'lllne Washington looked humbly to Ijr for tbe balm that might soothe its pains. The wily god of love was fair enough to protect the girl whom he forced to be his unwilling, perhaps unconscious, ally. He held his Impenetrable shield between her heart and the assaults of a whole army of suitors, high and low, great and small. It was not idle rumor that said she had declined a coronet or two, that the millions of more than one American Midas had been offered to her and that she had dealt gently but firmly with a score of hearts which bad nothing but love, ambition and poverty to support them in the conflict. The Calhouns lived in a handsome home not far from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Grenfall Lorry. It seemed but natural that the two beautiful young women should become constant and loyal friends. Women as lovely as tbey have no reason to be Jealous. It Is ouly the woman who does not feel secure of her personal charms that cultivates envy. At the home of Grau- stark's princess Beverly met the dukes and barons from the far east. It was In the warmth of the Calhoun hospitality that Yetive formed her dearest love for tbe American people. Miss Beverly was neither tall nor short. She was of that divine and Indefinite height known as medium; slender, but perfectly molded; strong, but graceful���an absolutely healthy young person, whose beauty knew well how to take care of Itself. Being quite heart whole and fancy free, she slept well, nte well and enjoyed every minute of life. In her blood ran the ws-tt. eager impulses of the south; hereditary love of ease and luxury displayed itself in every emotion; the perfectly normal demand upon men's admiration was as characteristic In her as it Is in any daughter of the land whose women are born to expect chivalry and homage. A couple of years In a New York "finishing school" for young ladles had served greatly to modify Miss Calhoun's colloquial charms. Many of her delightful "wny down south" phrases and mannerisms were blighted by the cold, lini'omnntlc atmosphere of a seminary conducted by two ladles from Boston who were too old to marry, to* penurious to love nnd too prim to think that other women might, care to At both. There were times, however���if she were excited or enthusiastic���when pretty Beverly so far forgot her training ns to break forth with n very attractive "yo' all," "suab 'nougb" or "g�� 'long nuow." Ami when the bands played "Dixie" she was not afraid te stand up and wave her handkerchief. The northerner who happened to be with her ou such occasions usually found himself doing likewise before he could escape the infection. Miss Calhoun's fnce was one that painters coveted deep down in their artistic souls. It never knew a dull ln- itant; there was expression In every lineament, In every look; life, genuine life, dwelt in the mobile countenance that turned the bead of every man and woman who looked upon it. Her hair was dark brown and abundant; her eyes were u deep gray and looked eagerly from between long lushes of black; her lips Were red aud ever willing to smile or turn plaintive as occasion required; her brow wns broad and fair, and her frown was as dangerous as a smile. As to her age, If the major admitted, somewhat Indiscreetly, thnt all his children were old enough to vote, her mother, with the reluctance born iu women, confessed that sbe was paBt twenty, so a year or two either way will determine Miss Beverly's ago so far ns the telling of this story is concerned. Her oldest brother, Keith Calhoun (tho one"with the congressional heritage), thought she wns too young to marry, while her second brother, Dan, held that she soon would be too old to attract men with matrimonial Intentions. Lucy, the ouly sister, having been happily wedded for ten yenrs, ndvlSOd her not to think of mnrrlage uutll she wns old enough to know her own mind... Toward the close of one of the most brilliant seasons the capital bad ever known, less than a fortnight before congress was to adjourn, the wife of Grenfall Lorry received the news which spread gloomy disappointment over the entire social realm. A dozen receptions, teas and balls were destined to lose their richest attraction, and hostesses were in despair. The princess had been called to Graustark. Beverly Calhoun was miserably unhappy. She had heard the story of Gn- briel's escape and the consequent probability of ti conflict with Axphaln. It did not require a great stretch of Imagination to convince her Ihat tbe Lorrys were hurrying off to scenes of Intrigue, strife and bloodshed, and that not ouly Graustark, but its princess, was In jeopardy. Miss Calhoun's most cherished hopes faded wilh the announcement that trouble, not pleasure, called Yetive to Edelweiss. It hud been their plnn that Beverly should spend the delightful summer months In Graustark, a guest at Iho royal palace. The originul arrangements of the Lorrys were hopelessly disturbed by the late news from Count Hall'ont. They were obliged to leave Washington two months earlier than they intended, aud they could not take Beverly Calhoun Into danger ridden Graustark. The contemplated visit to St. Petersburg and other pleasures had to be abandoned, aud they were lu tears. Y'etlve's maids were packing the trunks, and Lorry's servants were In a wild state of haste preparing for the departure on Saturday's ship. On Friday afternoou Beverly was naturally where she could do the most good aud be of the least help���at tbe Lorrys'. Self confessedly she delayed the preparations. Respectful maidservants and respectful manservants came often to the princess' boudoir to ask questions, and Beverly just its frequently made tearful resolutions to leave the household In pence���if such a hullabaloo could be called peace. Callers came by tlie dozen, but Yetive would see no oue. Letters, telegrams and telephone calls almost swamped her secretary; the footman aud the butler fairly gasped under the strain of excitement. Through it all the two friends sat despondent and alone lu the drear room thut once had been the abode of pure delight. Grenfall Lorry was off lu town closing up all mutters of business that could be dispatched at ouce. The princess and her industrious retinue were to take tlie evening express for New York, and tho next dav would find them at sea. (to Be Continued.) NASTURTIUMS. Lightly lov'd, and coldly na.m'i.

EPIGRAMS OF ENGLAND. Or. Emil Reich Says Chamberlain Is England's Greatest Man. Society, beautifully begowned, rubbed shoulders with a crowd of students at the Regent street Polytechnic recently, when Dr. Emil Reich delivered the first of a series of lectures on the History of Imperialism, taking as his first subject, "Is Great Britain the Heir of Ancient Homo, of Qreeco, or of Both?*' The Hungarian philosopher kept the largest audience he has had this year extremely interested. Some of his pregnant epigrams were: The question has 'been frequently asked, whether history repeats Itself. The answer Is that history does not, but historians do. Had you not had such a neighbor as the French to fight you would have remained puny. The Romans excelled In one thing, Roman law is like Greek wit; it Is finished, it is complete, it is perfect. It settles things in no time. When law In England becomes so complicated that no Judge can decide it, they have recourse to Roman law. The Romans did not believe In boards. Boards are useless. Committees are farces. The world is not nin by virtue, by character, *by money, or by value, but by authority. If a man has no auth irity he Is nowhere. The Premier Is the uncrowned King of England pro tent. The Americans are all foreigners. The Liberals are fond of peace with honor, the Greek principle. The Tories are fond of grabbing, the Roman principle. Strauss and modern German music are a misfortune. In English music you prefer the pauses. A very prosperous nation is unmusical. The man who has no office and no health, Mr. Chamberlain, ia the greatest man in this country, one way or another. The party system is the soul of empire, and as long as England can produce personalities It may do foolish things, but that will not matter. In brief, Dr. Reieh proved that '^reat Britain Is more Roman than Greek. Entlu-r rat.

It as the cynics tell us, we are los-1 Ing our capacity for emotion, the modern druggist can give us back all the outward signs of love, grief, anxiety, despair and exaltation, neatly compressed into tablets and capsule", at so much per dozen. This was abundantly clear at the Medical Exhibition, which opened at the Horticultural Hall, London, recently. Information gleaned from the mass of eelentflc "drugdata" In 'The Extra Pharmacopoeia," a new work, makes It clear that a love-scene of the following nature is quite possible In the near future: Romeo's Emotion. The blase wooer, fearing lest he should betray his boredom and lack of emotion In the course of his avownl. provides himseif with portable chemical preparations which will give him a Ro- meo-JIke gamut of emotion. In the doorstep of his ladylove's house he drinks a concentrated solution of glucose, and all appetite leaves him on the spot. Ho also rubs his face with hydrogenperoxlde from a email -phial, and before he has fairly got his overcoat off he has developed a most Interesting pallor. During dinner tie sends away untasted course after course without a pang tthanks to the glucose). He also sna.ps a glas- capsule of chloroform In hla serviette before the ladles retire, and inhalation produces most lifelike sighs Chloroform Sighs. Later he lures the object of his chemical affections to tlie conservatory, and something like this happens: After a few minutes of chloroform sighs, he may venture on any amylm- trite blush (glass capsule broken in handkerchief and inhaled). "Miss X.," he exclaims���"may I say Kthel?" (At this point It is as well lo swallow a few nitro-glyeerlne chocolate tablets���strength, 1.100th of a grain. The palpitation produced is quite audible and highly recommended.) ��� "You must have long realized," he continues, "how deeply I admire you." (Chloroform sighs.) "Dare I liope thai my presence is not altogether unpleas- Ing to you?" If the lady appears unmoved, a small capsule of the essential oil of mustard should be snapped In the handkerchief. It will cause a perfect flood of tears when Inhaled. Lover Takes Dose. Weeping copiously, the up-to-date swali: continues: "My love for you has driven sleep from my eyes. (Caffeine.) Set my doubts ami fears at rest. Will you be mine?" The lover's next dose depends upon the lady's reply. If It is In the affirmative one or two pills of mnira-piiamu compound will produce a fitting feeling of exaltation, or If it is in the negative an inhalation of a capsule of ethyl- chloride will produce total unconsciousness and an artistic swoon. The chief drawback to this form of love-making is that the presence on the spot of a medical man Is highly desirable, lest the unskilled self-admlnis- tratlon of these drugs should result fatally. DISEASE BORN OF CARELESSNESS Because Poisonous Impurities are Left In the Blood Which Can be Removed by the Use of DR CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS. Disease results in most cnse-i from the presence ol poisonous waste matter in the body, and may, therefore, be said to arise from ignorance or carelessness. Hilions spells, sick headache, at? Incks of indigeBtion, kidney pains and backache--such nre the indications oi failure on the part of the livfii* to remove the poisonous waste matter ns rapidly as it accumulates. By the use of Dr. phase's Kidney- Liver Pills the situation is promptly relieved, because liver, kidney and bowels are set in vigorous action and ilie tillering and excretory system thoroughly cleansed and strengthen- 3d. Neglect to afford assistance at sueh t t i ii it * is to invite the attack of such lilinents lis Bright's disease, dropsy, rheumatism or appendicitis. Mr. Win.

Mr. John Wilson, Dirt Esplanade avenue, Montreal, Que., writes: "I.iisl February I was taken sick and hud to have the doctor, who said that my ailment was a disordered liver. A few weeks after completing litis treatment I begun to notice symptoms of kidney disease.

British Judge Laments Glaring Untruthfulness In Court. The British people are said to be the most litigious on earth. Judge Edge declared at the Clerkenwell County Court that in their litigation they are "glaringly" untruthful. "When giving his decision in a case, Judge Edge said that it disclosed a "distressing amount of perjury," and he then proceeded to call attention to the necessity for an act of Parliament, to "check the glaring perjury that now goes on In the law courts." "Perjury," he said, "is growing more and more common. It la one of the saddest features In the English life of to-day. People go Into the witness- box and take the oath, knowing at the some time that they are going to make a statement which is altogether the opposite of the truth. They do this knowing there is little chance of being punished, and they lie with a coolness and deliberation which are enough to stagger one. "Recommendations have been made by the judges, but Parliament���I do not refer to the present one more than to any other���seems to think that It Is better to let perjury go unpunished rather than risk the chance of an acquittal by a jury. "How long perjury will *be allowed to go on unchecked I do not know," concluded Judge Edge. A Kemarkahle Curiosity. There Is lu Connaughl.

Was Paid $1,000 a Word. At the Franklin Inn, a literary club of Philadelphia, a young poet, licking his lips, said that Conan Doyle was paid $1 a word.

Our line used to have "at its grade crossings a very long and complicated sign that began, 'Beware of the Engine and Cars,' and then this sign went on with a lot of Injunctions and warnings that would have taken five minutes to read. -�� "In a number of accident cases the claimants for damages declared that our long signs were not clear warnings. Therefore the line decided at last to get a new grade crossing sign, and Judge Paxson was engaged to write one. "The sign that Judge Paxson wrote cost $1,000 a word, but it was a classic. It remains a classic. It has been copied everywhere. It is as well known among us as 'Father, I cannot tell a He,' or 'England expects every man to do his duty.' "The sign that cost $1,000 a word, or $6,000 in all, was tho famous 'Railroad Crossing���Stop, Look and Listen.' " The Word "Humble."

Christmas Giving A great many people think thai because they are not nble to give Christinas gifts, because they cannot give money or what it will buy, they can give nothing. How little we realize that the b.-st thing anybody can evei give in this world is not money, but himself. _ I know a lady who is very poor. She has no money to give to the poor at Christinas, lint she goes around for days before Christmas, visiting every person she hears of being sick or crippled or unfortunate, everyone who has any trouble, whether she knows him or nut. And she gives out such a wealth of love, of sympathy, if encouragement, good cheer, and sunshine, that these people feel enriched for a whole year. The material tilings they receive are cold and unsympathetic in comparison with what this poor woman gives them. On the other bund, 1 know a man, wealthy but selfish, whose conscience begins to trouble him just before Christmas', and he sends out checks, coal, clothing, provisions to the poor peo- ple. Then he feels a sort of relief j lie hns eased his conscience, which prodded him. Hut he rarely, if ever, goes to see these poor people,- never gives them anything of himself, his encouragement, or good cheer. This spirit of Christmas is the Christ spirit, the helpful spirit. It is the giving of what Christ gave, He hud no money to give,���He was the poorest of the poor,���but did ever any Croesus have so much to give ?

British Veteran Choir Singer Who Took Part In the First Performance of Mendelssohn's "Elijah.'' There is singing In the Birmingham Festival Chorus this year a chorister -who took part in the first performance of Mendelssohn's "Elijah." when the great composer himself conducted tile worlt, at the Blrmrngham Festival of 1S46. William Potintney, of the St. Cyprian's Choir, Hay Mills, Birmingham, was a youth of 18 at that time. Coming of a gifted musical family, he had earned lhe right lo he Included in the festival choir, anil he has taken part In every festival choir savp one since that time. When you speak to him he tells 5-ou tha' he still has the remnant of a voice, but lhe writer has often heard him sound his .bottom D in ch .Ir work during the last Iwo years, and he can sing a ballad wilh the lone and vigor of a youth. When Mr. Pountney had his voice tested for this year's festival he told the examiner his age, and wis met with the remark, "Well, you may be nearly eighty, but your volee is only forty." Mr. Pountney has vivid recollections of the rehearsals for the first perfonn- ance of the "Elijah." The band and chorus, he says, were on a small scale. The band consisted of 125 performers, mostly from London, and the chorus of 2S3 voices, som.' nf which were sup plied by Ihe metropolis. The rehearsals for the festival of 1846 took place In a Hi Lie chapel in King .s��reet which stood upon the site of what Is now New slreet station. The then town organist, Mr. James Stimpson. was the choirmaster, and he received the parts in manuscript, a few being sent at a time. fir: the Monday previous to Wednesday, Aug. 26, on which the work was formally given to the world, Mendelssohn came to Birmingham and rehearsed the work most carefully with the chorus in the Town Hall. Describing the enthusiasm of Mendelssohn's reception when he advanced to Ihe conductor's deslt, Mr. Pountney says: 'It was tremendous; overpowering. His method of conducting was very pleasing, li was simple and unaffected, and when he had to make a cnrrectl m his face wore a most queer expression. He would rattle his baton against the desk and say pleasantly, 'That won't do. gentlemen; I must have piano here; when you get a fortissimo you can do as you like.' "I well remember Mendelssohn and SLiudigi coining into ihe ommittee- room of the Town Hall, and as the latter, who had been specially brought by the composer to create the bass part, look off his peculiar stove-pipe top hat, a while collection ot papers fluttered down upon the floor. Everyone laughed, and the composer seemed in particular to enjoy the incident." Mr. Pountney can recall the principals of ihe l8l(i performance quite well. Staudlgl made a wonderful Impression. Mr. Pountney says that he cannot recall any festival singer creating more enthusiasm. "He was the first anil he Is the greatest representative of 'Elijah' 1 have ever heard. His singing of the prologue, 'As Ood lhe Lord of Israel Livetl:,' created a sensation at the full rehearsal such as I have never witnessed since." And yet Mr. Pountney understands that .Staudlgl sang the music at this rehearsal at sight. The tenor was a young English singer, Mr. Lookey. It was originally intended that he should only render the silos in lhe first part, but Mendelssohn was so pleased with his singing that he asked him to give the whole of the tenor solos. In a letter to his brother Mendelssohn paid marked testimony to Mr. I.ockey's sweetness of singing. It was, says Mr. Pountney, a re.marka.ble performance. Mr. Pountney recalls many notable "Elijahs." In 1852, under Sir Michael Costa, Weiss sang the music, and In 1882 a wonderful singer was cast for the part ��� Heir Carl Formes. Mr Sanlley made his first appearance in 1861, and sang uninterruptedly till 1891, when Mr. Andrew Black took his place. A notable prophet was Slgnor Foil, who first appeared In 1878. | Shetland Wool, I A curious historical legend Is connected with Shetland wool. Over ?M years ago a man-of-war belonging to the Spanish armada was wrecked ou one of the islands.

Those persons who now wear bright Shetland knit "comforters" are unconsciously wearing mementos of the "invincible" armada. Watch .Jewel..
