\ A WEES DEvoTIoN.-Mr. Jacob Staley
some time ago thought proper to steal a let

The letter Contained draft, on which the
cash was got by q forged Endorsement. A
touching feature OF the case consisted In the
fact that Staley's wife went upon the stand

was TO save her husband, and apparently per
jured herself to compass that end. The eff

ANOTHER BLAST AGAINST TOBACCO -
The Wisconsin Conference Of the Meth
odlst Episcopal Church has adopted a
rule tia { no candidate for admission shall
be admitted unless he abstain for all time
from the use of tobacco. The Bishops
are requested not to transfer any one
Who, already in conference uses it; and
the propagation, manufacture, sale or
use OF all narcotic stimulants is EN-
phaticly CONDEMNED. Tobacco has been a
staple crop with many farmers in districts
where friends of the Methodist persua
sion abound, and it remains to be seen,
says the Philadelphia Press, what effect
this illumination will have on the growth
of the "noxious weed" What with veg,
etables and their crusade against meat
the Dutch against Irish potatoes, and the
Irish against the Dutch cabbages, it is
hard to tell what will be safe to grow or
raise any more. The great founder of
Methodism, Wesley, introduced good sec
ular tunes INTO church music, because he
was Opposed to letting the devil have
all the good things" It may do for the
brethren In Wisconsin to preach against
growing toDacco in that region where the
crop does not amount to much but in Con-
ntcticut, Virginia, and Kentucky, where
tobacco growing means emphat!cally
money, we shall mistake the character of
these people ii they are not opposed to
letting the devil have all the profits. -

a. NAUCH GIRLs.-We know less about
the women of India than those of any
country, though there are one hundred
millions Of them. This is due mainly to
the restrictions and jealous seclusion to
which they are subjected. Not only are
they, as a general thing, kept far in the

An active and interesting discussion has
been going on In the London papers re-
specting the nature Of the luminous appear
ance, OF s'star," which, according to the
gospel narrative, guided the wise men to
Bethlehem. There are no less than ten
hypotaeses now held, or which have been
held. In regard to this matter. /. That It
was literally star out Of the heavenly bod
les, 2. That new star was created ex-
pressly. 8. That it was an old star blaz-
ing forth In sudden brilliancy, as has hap
pened more than once. 4. That It was
one of the planets. 5. That 1t was con-
junction ofthe planets. G. That 1t was a
comet. 7. That it was a meteor. 8.
That it was an atmosphere luminosity. 8.
That Il WA an angel. 10. That it was a
celestial manifestation. Ancient legend
fayors the last two. Modern science dis
cards the first two hypothesis as involving
sucb celestial agitation as would necessitate
a series of miracles. The plausibility Of
third Is borne out by actual occurrences OF
the kind. like those observed in 1879, In
1904, in 1870 and 1865. The fourth is dis
carded. The fifth, which is held by Kepler,
is disproved by more recent calculations.
The sixth hypothesis seems the most teasi-
bic. from a scientific standpoint. The Chi
nese ayr Inomers record that bright comet
did appear in the year B. c., and remain
ed visible seventy days. This is a curious
fact. and would 90 to corroborate the state
