would have kept the animal in good
condition. 1t is an axiom of the live
stock industry that stock rearing and
feeding can only prove remunerative
where the animals are kept in state
of progression from birth to maturity.
One of the most essential things to Sc
cure this is comfortable shelter. Ev-

The Jews are awakening to the
necessity of education among their
people. The Messenger says: The
pressing need of Judaism in America
is education for young and old. The
religious schools now attached to al
most every place of worship supply
the beginning of system which. prop
erly extended, will embrace Bible
classes for the young people, popular
lectures on Jewish history and litera-
ture and a course of Hebrew instruc-
ton adapted to the special wants of

What Our Churches Cost Us,

SCRIBNER for January contains an
article with the above title in which
various comparisons are made to prove
the relative cheapness of church work.
We quote the authors summing up:
We have found that it costs less to
carry on the average church than the
average business establishment; less
for the subsistence of those who per-
form the necessary service, and less for
their savings and accumulations less
to the community, and less to the in
diyidual patron. The church is worked
more cheaply than any self-support-
ing business, because it is worked
at no higher figure than the bare cost,
and more often at less than actual cost.
as asemi-charitable institution, and, to
large part of our population, mis-
sionary society. AS dispassionately
and dryly as becomes the statement of
statistical facts, we have shown that no
such pecuniary return is made on in
vestments in an education for the
church as on investments regularly
made in other lines; that no such
compensation is granted by the wealth.
lest churches to the ablest pastors, as
is commonly granted by large secular
corporations to those at their head :
that service in the lyceum is more
highly paid than service in the church,
even where the same individual serves
in each; that concerts and theaters
cost more than churches; that various
articles of luxury, and even our very
dogs, make larger figure in our ex-
penses than the subsistence of the
ministers of the churches; and, finally,
that it costs Christians less to support
their religious institutions than it
anciently cost the Jews to support
theirs, and less than it now costs the
heather to support theirs,

THE OLD, OLD STORY

THE children told to us the old, Old Story,n
Told it with flushing cheek and sparkling eye;
How from His home above in light and glory
The siRless Son of God came down to die,
Told it while cleaning lights shone all around
The soft air fragrant with the breath Of flowers.
And hearts stood still beneath the spell that bound
them,
As if they dreamed within enchanted bowers
And while like fairies in scene elysian,
The children came and went before my sight,
My fancy painted yet another vision
OF fields, and shepherds, and a rlit night.
heard the sound of angels softly singing
All the sweet wonders of the holy birth:
saw the wise men myrrh and incense bringing
Down to the manger for tie Lord of earth
l saw the fair young child, HIS power discerning,
Stand in the temple with quiet grace,
Talking, all unabashed, with men of learning,
light from Heaven upon His earnest face.
| saw the miracle, where servants carried,
In mute obedience to His mid command,
Pure waters, that while guests and bridegroom
tarried,
Blushed into wine beneath His lifted hand!
And then 1 thought, with fearful shame and sad
ness,
How oft we grieve Him when we grudge to bear
The waters that He turns to wine of gladness,
Making life's Marah sweet with blessings rarel
l stood among the silent crowd, assembling
About the bier where lay the widows child,
And heard His gracious voice with pity trembling,
Call back her dead and check her anguish wild.
Then how my yearning heart recalled my baby,
Blue-eved and golden haired, who lies AT rest
Beneath the roses and thought that maybe,
In Heaven, He would restore him to my breast.
Just as he came to me, loves sweet evangel,
Perhaps He'll give him to my waiting arms,
Not grown into stately, white-winged angel,
But full of dimpling smiles and baby charms.
Oh, mothers, grieving over fair dead faces
flushing, as best you can, the hearts wild cry,
Be comfOrted; in some of Heavens bright places
The little children wait for you and L!
followed Him that night of tears and sorrow,
When those He loved forgot their Lord, and
slept;
saw the coming of that dark tomorrow,
And stood beside the cross where Mary wept.
| heard His patient voice serenely pleading:
Father, forgive, they know not what they do!''
l saw that sacred head all bowed and bleeding,
And conscience whispered; This was done for
you.n
Oh, wondrous love! that bore for the scourging,
The bitter hooking and the cruel paint
Well may we heed such lamb-like, gentle urging,
And turn our straying steps TO Him agalnl
| saw HIM in the tomb, and met Him risen;
Again l heard the angel voices sing;
While He all glorious, rose from earth to Heaven,
Mary's fair child and Heavens anointed King
And ever as | walk the path before me
Earth's saddest places of lis pleasant ways,
That vision throws its holy influence DER me;
The old old story Gains my stormiest days.

Christmas In Norway.

THE great festival of the year in
Norway, as among all Germanic ma
tons, is Christmas. Whether it owes
all it's sanctity to its association with
the birth of the Savior is, however, an
open question; for many customs still
kept alive in the remoter valleys seem
to point beyond the beginning of the
Christian era, to the time when the
Norsemen ate horse-fesh in honor of
Odin and Thor and Frey. The festi-
val. as the retaining of the old name
indicates, is as yet strongly tinctured
with "reminiscences Of the old pagan

The London Veterinary Journal
advocates a simple and inexpensive
appliance to prevent horses from fall
ing in winter. 1t consists simply of
one or more steel studs set into the
horses shoe. One in front is suffi-
Gent, but for heavy work two more
at the sides are recommended. The
stud is square bit of steel nearly an
inch long, pointed at one end and tap
ering slightly from about the middle
of the other that enters the shoe. No
filing or finishing is necessary, and any
blacksmith can make large number
in very short time out of an old rasp
or file. The stud must fit tightly, care
being taken that it does not "wobble,"
and that it does not pass quite through
the shoe. The hole is made with an
ordinary square punch. This simple
system has proved very efficient after
an extensive trial, and saves horses
great pain, suffering, and often fatal
injury.

SHE GOT THE DRESS.
fviefsburg Herald.l


One day not long ago an old chap
from the interior, accompanied by
his wife, entered a yicksburg dry
goods store, and, after looking round
for a moment, said to the clerk:
"Pile your best kaliker down here

As the pieces were tumbled down
he continued:
"Mirandy's been purity good this
summer, and she'll have her pick OF

pieces, and his wife tossed them
over, and finally they settled on
particular piece, and he said:

A silver mine Of excellent quail
ity is reported to have been dis
covered at North Oxford, Mass.
The led in which the vein lies has
already been opened, and prepara-
tions have been made for continu-
ing the work OF mining. This vein
is about sixteen feet below the sur
face, and ore has already been found
which yields enough silver to make
mining profitable.
