No more pathetic spectacle now con- fronts the eyes of the world than thatof Madame Boulanger, wife of the flighty- fancied general, who for so long has lived alone with her two daughtersin re- tiracy in Paris, writes a corvespondent of the Boston Traveller. Hers isa sad though handsome face, in which pain has cut more lines and grooves than time; while to listen to her low, sweet voice is to wonder how the general can endure passing any of his days beyond the reach of its subtle music.

And she has not even the satisfaction of knowing that the man who turned the sunshine of her earlier days into the bleak desolation of the present ever 5““ her a single thought, Still she oes not condemn him, *'It 18 not for me to judge him,” she sometimes lllg when some one accosts her concernis 'Y him; “‘we loved each other once! ‘‘Some day,” she usually adds, *‘he will need my love again. I'do not wish to be divorced from him, because I want to retain the right to care for him when all the rest of the world forsakes him— when, save his wife, he has no friend.” Hiswory tells us of few more beautiful characters than hers.

No wonder that the gangelic hosts join §the mighty chorus of redeemed souls. ‘Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good Wwill to men.' “Lot this day be made the gladdest, grand- ost day of all the year. “‘Lot us, on this day, accopt Christ as our personal Saviour from sin_and let us pledge 1o Him the love of our hearts and service of our lives. ct us toll tho story of years to the hittlo children ail around us and usk them to en- list under tho banner of the King. “On this day let us make our homes bright and happy with good cheer. When the tablo 18 set for the Christmas diner put on plates for relatives and friends, but set a chair too for some one who has no home or friend, “On this Chiristmas day lot us see that the coming of the divine Christ makes glad the souls of the poor." Orthodox as to Good Will. F. W. Foster, pastor Immanuel Baptist church, says: *‘Creocd and rites per chance may differ, but our faith and hopo is one.” “So, the grand old Quaker poetof New England writes. ){o season of the year is so fitting a time for charity that thinketh no evil, to be thrown like a cloak over differ- ences and faults and sins and poverty. “Darkness and midnight gave way to heavenly splendors, and the silent hour was flooded with the joyous songs of angels, pro- claimin, *Good will towaras men.” In our zeal for our creeds and dogmas we forzet to have good will towards that heretic who dares to think differently from ourselves. But, at this glad Christinas season we are all very orthodox in respect to our good will, good cheer, and in our devoted efforts to make others happ; “Again, in our joyousness excess—which is 80 natural to men—has often led us to in- aulgences that overtax the strength and top- ple down the reason. -Such excesses were more prevalent in Engl#hd and nce four centiries ago, in a public way, but excesses now too often turn tue merry Christmas 1to a bacchanalian revelry and leave beind the darkest of sbots in thp:memory, the best and holiest of days. 7 e Gifis Become Christ-like. Dr. A. R. Thain, Plymouth Congrega- tional church, says: ° *“‘The earth in her orbit around the sumrhas reached the week which is marked bythe manger cradle of the infant Cbrist and during this week it will rain gifts as certainly as showers of meteors fall when the garth passes cortain points in her zodiacal track. We have en- tered and are passing’ through the gift zone. Tradesmen remind us of the fact by adver- tising arts and by tempring displays in_their windows, but tradesmen: did ‘ot originate the beautiful custom of Christmas gifts. It originated in the bosom of infinite love and the ‘‘unspeakable gift” gave it meaning. The birth of Christ as the. redeemer of man- kind was the first Christwas gift; a gift so rich that though given ‘once for all’ nearly two thousand years ago, yet this year of our Lord finds it as precious as ever, a gift so fuli of meaning that it lends meaning and in- terest to the gifts which we give at this holi- day season. It is Christ, then, who gives significance to this day, as the name of the day plainly declares. “Perhaps it would not be wiso Lo make war against the oharming medimeval faction of Santa Claus; but in sportively represerting him as the giver of gifts let us nov obscure the fact that the Child Christ is King of Christmas, and to Him, as the autnor of Christmas joy our homagé belongs. “How shall we best observe the day? Cus- tom says: ‘By gift giving,’ and custom is correct here. “There is nothing which comes so directiy from the heart, and goes 80 directly to the heart, as a free, generous gift, = Selfishness 1s the soul’s winter. It sifts its cold snows ovet the delicate flowers of the affections and hey either die--blossom, stalk and root, or exist ou the boundary line between slecp und death awaiting the return of spring. But generosity is the soul’s sum- mer. Bud, blossom and faith are found in abundance, and the soul takes most celight in them not as possessions Lo be kept, but as furnishing the outer manifestation of inward generosivy, in the form of gfts, ““This summer of the soul reverses the order of external nature. May and June are the flower mounths, December and January are the gift mont) *'Christmas week is the golden buckle which clasps together the girdle of the year. New Years day is the tongue of the buckle. Let us see Lo it that before 1880 shall relinquish the zone of the mouths to his successor we shall have gladdened the hearts of our loyed ones by the bestowalof appropriate gifts And rémermber that gifts fall with most grace where they are needed most. It was to the neediest world in God’s wide universe, so far as we know, that the ‘unspeakable gift came, Gifts become Christ-like when they relieve pressing want and are bestowed by the inostentatious hand of charity. Assings the poet of the ‘Christmas Yoar," " Go to Church. Dean Gardner, Trinity cathearal, says: “There 18 growing tendency to ignore tho religious side of ‘the Christmas festival With many it is simply a_ boliday; a time of feasting and prosent-giving and general hilarity. If Christmas comes on 'a week day, a8 it does about ix times out of seven, the religious services-in church are only woll attended. This “oifght not to be s Christians ought to,, more consistent; remember the spiritual-aspect and require- ments of this annual eslebration, 1t stands for the great miracle 6f"the incarnation, In this time-saving, monéy-getting, material- istic age it is well ware the mysterics of our faith emflhunwd With greater frequency, That whicn has given Christmus its stability and its wide-spread larity in the world isihe fact that the 's redeemer was born that day and thay/die is the son of God, Let the Christian remamber 1 every gift that he receives or gives he is commemorat. ing the love of God, 'wiio 80 loved the world that he gave bis only Yéotton son that all who believe in him ma§Thave eternal life.’ And if all our presefitgiving and our joy proceed from our gratfide to God, then it will follow that Christibns will be glad ‘enter 1nto his gates witn thsnklflvlng a0 his courts with praise.””If our rulers enjoin upon all good citizens v observe Toanksgiv- ing day by repairing to thewr respective places of public worship in recognition of divine mercies, how shall we feel impelled by the call of the church to go to church on Christmas day! It was an invariable rule among Christians of early days to receive the holy comwmunion on Christmas day. *1t will add zest to all our jubllation and sweeter music to all our Clristmas cards and @ real meaniog to our gifts if we b more of Christ in our Christmas holiday: Week of Univer Prayer.

For more than two yoars 'wo have sus- tained a little orphan home here in Omaha without applying to the public for wid, as wo have always received what has boen neoded for its support. But lately the wants have not exactly becn met. We have several bills 10 be paid, for house rent, etc., and there is no wmoney 1n the treasiry. We havo at present five heloiess and destituto childron. Tho lndy who aevotes herself to their care gives hor whole timo without _pay, altnough sho could got a good salary in _some other ‘work, she conducts the orphan home on the principle of true Christianity.

Dr. John Gordon of Westminster Presbyterian church holds: The Anglo- Saxons have always had the best Christ- mas customs. The Latin races have generally failed to catch what we con- sider the spirit of the day, A Christ- mas spent in France is apt to bea dveary day for one accustomed to an American Christmas, But the day, as kept in Bogland and Germany, is an inspiration and delight to all boys and girls—by which I mean boys and girls of ninety and under. Ithink the more closely we copy the Euglish and Ger- man Christmas customs the better. Have a tree on Christmas eye; sot the children all singing the old Christmas carols, and have them bang up good, capacious stockings. Then the little heads will be in good condition to dream all night of Santa Claus. Don’t mind having your morning nap disturbed on Christmas day, It is the great Kris Kringle's day, and old Father Christmas wakes his children pretty early. Do all in your power to make your children consider it the happiest day in ull the year. Do something o make it a happy day for the poor, Think of the Christ child. Go to church and hear the story of the Babe of Bethlehem. Be a boy or girl yourself that day. Make it the greatest ho‘dduf‘ in the whole year, and enjoy it with all your heart as they do in England and Germany. The Gospel of Peace. Rev. J. M. Wilson says: Christmas is woven into my earliest memory a commemoration of the Savior’s advent, and as a time of giving ond receiving gifts, Although not divinely instle tuted, it is like the Saubath ns o mee morial which bears silent witness to the truth of Christianity. It brings the minds of people into such a state of vreparation t‘mt Christmas Sunday is an excllent opportunity for presenting the gospel of peace 1GIOUS, The vatican is said to be preparing a new cateciam for universal use, The salo of weekly parts of tho illustrated bible published in Milan, Italy, has roached 00,000 copies.

Many diseases are due solely to a dis- regard of established rules relating to wtables und eating, rules which every one ought to know and be willing to heed. S Gout is caused by rich foods and stim- ulating drinks; dyspepsin usually by eating unwholesome food &t unseasoni- ble Lours, and diseases of the liver and bowels result from the same cause, Ap- oplexy isproduced by drinking too mych wine. In Bordeaux, France, more wino is drunk and a greater proportion of tho people die of apoplexy than in any other city 1n the world, Bat slowly and masticate your food thorou Mr. Gladstone, it is said give: ~two bites to_ench pieco of meat that he puts into his mouth. This is a good rule to follow. By swallowing your food without chewing it you cheat your paiate as well as your body. You fail to prepare the meat for the action of the gastric juice, and you do not permit the salivary juices to mix with the starchy foods to prepare them for further claboration and assimilation. Never eat when very tired or when worried or excited, and never work im- mediately after a meal. Exhaustion and worry preclude a normal appetite and prevent digestion, as does labor, 100, soon after eating. Rest for twenty or thirty minutes after moals. Do not overlond the stomach; it is best always to leave the table with the teeling thut you could eat a little more. The proper amount of food eaten at each meal will strengthen the stomach; by eating too much you distend and weaken it. Do not wash down each morsel of food with a swallow of water; drink what you wish at the conclusion of the meal and not while it is in progress. Milk should not be drunk in copious draughts; but in sips, so that it aill coagulate in small lumps or flakes, and thus be more ensily digested, 1t is best eaten with a spoon in the form of bread and milk. Remember that meat broths contain little or no nutritive properties; they are simply mild stimulants. With the addition of vegetables, bread or boiled rice, however, they become valuable foods. Good health is worth cultivating, even at the expense of a little time and a measure of self-restraint. If men would set u watch upon their lips they would less often have to send for the doctor.
