A Sense of Honor.

The following is taken from an
editorial in The Century for Deem
Der:
"There is little doubt that the
thing which most needs to be preach
ed to this generation of Americans,
by ministers of the gospel, by both
clerical and lay instructors of the
youth, by all who have public influ-
ence or private authority, is-a sense
of honor! 1t must be shown and in
sisted upon that every position in life
where one person is employed by an
other-to do certain work, imposes
an obligation to fulfill the duties Of
the place with an honorable and dis
interested regard for the interests of
the employer. 1t must be shown that
this view of employment applies to
the cook, the errand-boy, the cashier,
the legislator, the Governor, the Presi-
dent. This is trite, and apparently
simple, and perhaps somewhat stupid
view of theopportunities ola "smart"
and ambitious young American Of
our day butunless this commonplace
view of responsibility is laid hold Of
by increasing numbers in the future of
our country, we will not say that our
society will go to pieces, but we will
say that our calamities will increase,
and that we will get into troubles,
and not soon out of them, compared
with which the dangers and distresses
of the past will seem almost insignifi-
can't"

TOO MANY ELECTIONS.

1t has been pertinently said that if
our National elections were less fire.
quent there would be less disturbance
in the financial commercial and other
business interests of the country. Bust
ness interests seem to be more disturbed
every succeeding Presidential election.
If this is true would it not be wise
policy to amend the constitution so as
to have these elections not oftener than
once every eight instead of every four
years, and adopt the one term policy
Let members of Congress be elected
every four years, and Senators to hold
as they now do for six years.
Presidential elections are conducted
so very different now from what they

done to check the evil tendency.
Something must be done to prevent
the use of SO much money and corrup

campaign funds that were used by the
Republican and Democratic parties Ii
the recent elections were immense.
They were used to buy votes, or worse
still, to buy influential leaders who
could mislead their unsuspecting fol

QUICK WORK.

Last week a man named Jones was
arrested in Nashville for stealing a
valise at the Maxwell House. He
took breakfast at the Nicholson House,
was arrested and took dinner in Jail.
During the day the grand jury found. a
true bill; he was brought before the
court, plead guilty, and was sent to
the penitentiary for three years, where
he took supper.
That is the way judge Allen does
business-with as little cost as possible
to the county or State. So it should
be in all similar cases, as far as possible.

MistletOe at Christmas.Tide.

The hanging of the mistetoe Is a cause
of much frolic and laughter in the house.
1t is the rule that whoever is passing
under the mistletoc Dough must submit
to being kissed then and there by who.
ever chooses to take that liberty. As a
bough usually hangs from the center of
the ceiling, spreading over large space.
1t follows that there is much lodging or
much kissing; l am inclined to think
that there are both.
The origin of this use of the mistletoe
is not known; but we do know that more
than eighteen hundred years ago, when
the glad stars sang together over the
manager in Bethlehem, and wise men
brought gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh to young Child in the peasant
mothers arms, England was chill,
mist-covered island inhabited only by
savages, who wore garments of skins and
lived in huts of mud and stone. Among
these savage Britons there were pagan
priests called Druids. These priests
were mysterious folk, who lived in
woods, far away from other men
and who, in the gloomy
solitudes of the forest, per-
formed strange secret ceremonies. The
Sacred groves" as they are called, were
of oak, for the oak was divine tree ac-
cording to the Druidical religion.
Within these sacred groves, he priests,
it is recorded in history, offered their
sacrifices, and in some manner, not now
known, they employed the mistletoe.
But all mistletoe was not sacred to the
Druids They would have none but that
which chung to the sap of the divine
oak. To them the apple-tree mistletoe,
which modern England uses SO freely in
her holiday festivities, would be a worth
less and common thing.
When, in the latter centuries, England
was taught the Christian religion, the
people retained many of their heather
rites and customs, changed from their
original meaning and purpose. At any
rate from the Druids had come the
modern usage of the mistetoe- bough,
preserved in festivities which
commemorate the birth of Him whose
pure worship destroys all heather super
stitions. - Christian at Work.

The Bologna Sausage.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who has been investigating
the sausage, writes as follows from
Bologna: had noticed that there were
few pastures on the plains of Lombardy,
and reason taught me that with few pas
lures there could be but little beef. AS
for sheep and pigs, had seen even fewer
than of cattle. The questions to be de-
termined was: Where did the sausages
come froml l had seen figs pressed into
boxes and grapes crushed in wine-vats
by the dirty feet of the peasants; l had
seen wine packed into gskins and rats
skinned for gloves, and | was prepared
for anything, but must ask my readers
to permit me to leave Bologna without
saying another word about its sausages.
The details, as the story book says, are
too horrible for mention. | can only adj
wise them to eschcw the tempting dish,
and if they must have sausages, to make
them at home. The Percy anecdotes re-
late the story of a barber who used to
cut his customers Threats and drop their
bodies into pit. whence they were con-
veyed next door to the baker, who had
become so famous for his "mutton pies. -
This is delicate story compared to some
that | heard in Bologna. Let the vail OF
an impcnctrable mystery hang over the
ever-dubious Bologna sausage. Mine
shall not be the rash hand to raise it.

Tried rs a Common ScOld.

Recently, for the first time in the his
tory of Allegheny county, Penn, and at
least for thirty years in the history of
the State, a woman was tried as com
mon scold. The defendant in the case
tried in the criminal court was Ellen
Fishpan, resident of Pleasant Valley,
and Amelia Kountz, a member of the
Salvation army, was the prosecutrix.
The witnesses for the prosecution were
nearly all members of the Salvation
army, and they testified to very much the
same things. The trouble all grew out
of the capture of scratching hen by
Mrs. Sullivan. The hen was said to be-
long to Mrs. Fishpan, who was told to
take it home or its head would be chopped
off. The fowl really laid eggs for Mrs.
Kountz, and Mrs. Fishpan, who is of the
Catholic faith, it appears, becoming very
much incenscd at tho things said
and done by Mrs. Kountz and other
members of the Salvation army against
her happiness and peace of mind, de-
nounced them in the community. The
jury, after hearing the testimony on both
sides, concluded that Mrs. Fishpan was
not guilty, and rendered verdict to that
effect and divided the costs.

THE CHRISTMAS SHIPS.

Through wind and light of morning time
And through the star-lit night
The Christmas ships from many a cline
Speed home in happy flight,
With flying flags and sails so white,
So white, white white
Oh, tossing sea, now be at rest,
And skies, bend blue above;
The Christmas ships upon thy breast
Carry such wealth of love,
Such precious wealth of love, sweet love,
Love, love, love, love
The wife keeps watch with tender eyes
Her loving fears are dumb.
The mother prays, and softly signs:
'He said, I'll surely come;
AT Christmas-time I'll come Oh yes
He'll come, come, come"
The children on the yellow sands,
With bare feet in the foam,
Chatter about the far-off lands,
And father coming home
At Christmas coming home again,
Home, home, home, home.
The maiden braids her hair, and sings:
ooh shall not be glad
When Chrlstmas-time my lover brings,
My handsome sailor lad?
oh, shall not be glad so glad,
Glad, glad, glad, glad"
Thus as they sail from every sea,
Good angels keep the ships
True hearts for them watch tenderly
And rosy, kissing lips
Whisper their happy names Oh, ships !
Oh, ships, ships, ships
God grant when Christmas bells shall ring.
No Christmas ship fall short,
But each, like some glad living thing,
Come sailing into port
With flying flags to Christmas bells
Touch port, port, port.
