THE NEU RiILU.II TiUI.

The new system of railway time
y hich went into effect Oh all the

Is the result of the "iiUns oi Mr..

~ uniform Time. His plan il simply
to divide the country into equal l"ngi-
iudinal sections of fifteen degrees each,
'laking exactly an hours difference
"f time to each. The first or "Atlan-
tic" division il all that section east Of
the seventy-fifth meridian, and takes
IN all Of New England, New York
city, New Jersey and the other Allan
tie states. The second Is tie "Cen-
trail" division, which embraces all the
country between the seventy-fifth and
ninetieth medians, Of which the west
rrn boundary is on a line with New
orleans aud East st. Louis. The next
division Is the Western division, of
which the western boundary is Den
yer, or the one hundred and fifth me-
ridian. The next is the Mountain"
division, extending to Carson City,
New, which is on the one hundred
ana twentieth meridian. In this
Mountain" division is Miles City,

If the western boundary of the
Western" division, the time, il
adopted 10y the Northern Pacific
would arbitrarily be one hour later
than Glendive, which would about fall
into the Western" division. All
west of that is the Pacific division,
extending To the Pacific Ocean. As
was said before, there Is just All hours
difference between each division.
Chicago will be AN hour slower than
New York; Denver two hours slower:
Carson City three hours slower, and
>an Francisco four hours slower.
The present solar time of san Fran
risco is only three hours and II quarter
slower, SO that city will hardly adopt
the new time, us it makes too great u
change, and 1t is doubtful If the rail
ways anywhere west of the Missouri
River will adopt it at present, The
sections which will most generally
Use il are the Atlantic and Central d.
visions, and to all railways operating
therein il will be convenient.

Cologne Water.

Cologne water, which is alcohol per-
fumed with essential oils, was first
made in the city Of Cologne in th. sew
enteenth century, and is still made
there in vast quantities. 1t is css initial
10 the perfection Of the perfume that
both the volatile oils ald the alcohol he,
pure, and also that the latter he FREQ
from fusel oil. II is important that No

dominate above the others. The fol-
lowing are the ingredients of cologne
water: Balm aud mint of Notre ID ana,
petals and roses of violets. lavender
flowers, absinthe, sage and thyme.
orange flowers, nntmegs, mace, cloves.
cinnamon, caluphor, angelica root, LEM

the essence OF lemon, ceirat, palm,
lavender, neroli, rosemary, jasmine and
bergamot. The whole is thoroughly
mixed and then filtered.

THE CHURCH AND THE WoRLD.-This
antagonism between the Church and the
world is radical. There was no reconcilia-
ton except on the basis of a surrender to the
Church, which is Gods appointed agency to
bring the world under the rule of Jesus
Christ. 1t matters not that sin is varnish-
ed, that the prevalent worldliness is genteel
and friendly in it's tone. 1t is the same en-
emy against which believers have been
warned by inspired voices. Its maxims
will ruin all who adopt them; its ;spiriit, is
contagious; it's embrace is death. The
Church and theworld are not partners; they
are foes. There can be no armistice in
this conflict. No one can take neutral po
sition. Let every one who names the name
of Christ be wholly on his side.-NashviUe

nas- There are many reasons why every
man should be a Christian here are few
of the paramount ones: God commands it;
He SAYS, "GiVe me thine heart;" and even
if we could see no good reason beyond this,
we should at once comply with this invita-
ton and command. The fact that Christ
died for us is an all-sufficient reason why we
should become Christians; such an exhibit
ton of love ought to move the hardestheart.
Our own highest interests require us to live
Christian life; "The Christian is the high
est style of man." and no sane man can
doubt that it is his duty to make the most of
himself. We ought to become Christians
because by so doing wecan accomplish more
for others. No man lives for himself alone,
and it iso duty to dosomething toward ell
evating and saving those about U.S. domestic

Christmas Keeping.

There is something very pleasant in
the thought that when we are celebrat-
ing our Christmas festivals the wave of
reverence and Joy that has reached us,
sweeping round the world from east to
west. comes bringing with it the chant
of Roman masses, the carol of English
villagers, the less worshipful songs of
the students in the Quarter Latin, the
chimes from the steeples of ten thou
sand churches, and the happy laughter
of children from the beginning of the
boundaries of Christcndom.
How charming is that ancient and
tender custom Of the Calabrian peas
ants, who in the days Just before
Christmas 90 down from their noun
tains to visit the shrines of the mother
of Christ, and cheer her with their wild
strains of song till such time as the
holy Babe is born! Surely the winds of
Christmas morning might bring us, if
not the echo of that music itself, yet
some whisper of its spirit-a something
sweeter spirit it may be than that of all
the revelry which goes on under mistle-
toe boughs and before the blaze Of
Yule-logs.
Many of our ancestors were fright
ened by the influences that ruled the
revelries of their and their fathers days,

bot of Unreason held sway with their
followers till Little Christmas, or

And when the flight was discovered
next morning, the anger thereat was

to the manner OF it.

carrying the blessed tapers burning in
their hands, as but signs of time when
reverence lived only in the crust of
things, and the heart was hollow rotten
ness, and so discounteRanced the keep
ing of the festival at all that their chill
drcn grew up to a strange unfamiliarity
with its long-descended customs, and
where they heard of them in
any report, heard of them only
as things to be avoided. They
showed, it would seem, less reverence
for the day, however great might be
their reverence for the facts and tenets
of their stern religion, than have the
cattle who fall on their knees in stall
on the night of the Nativity, if popular
superstition is to be listened to, inherit
ing the instructive motion from the old
OK and ass which. according to an
cient paintings, fell on their knees
in the stable where the ancient
Manager was a cradle. Thus in many
portions of our country the last two
generations were the first, with the
general decline of a too severe asceti-
cism. to bring about an almost univers-
al observance of a holiday which Ger
tainly deserves honor SO long as we pre-
tend to call ourselves Christian peo-
pie.
Yet it is odd to notice how, even in
our abbreviated observances, we have
not been able to escape some of the
former heather practices that have crept
upon us, SO that even in the hanging of
the festoons and wreaths of evergreen
