horse showed unmistakabe signs of ex-
IRENE fast driving, dripping with sweat
in cold day. After stopping Il while, the
horse having been cared for by Mr. Mans
field, was brought to the door, they were
helped into the carriage and undertook to
drive away, but got into contest for the
lines, and their noise and wrangling was
only quelled by the intimation that a
sheriff would be put upon their track.
They declined to give their names or indi-
cate from whence they came but left

that they were fast young men from the
city....The Christmas tree at the Metho-
dist church was well attended despite the
storm. The fruits of the tree were gen
erOusly distributed, young and old part-
Cipating in them. There were several
family Christmas gatherings in town, so
that Christmas was quite well observed in
giving and receiving gifts, if not in the
more public recognition of the sacred day.

PARENTS AND CHI OREN.

The Obligation Resting on the Former
TO Enact Unquestloning Obedience.
The boy who has grown accustomed
at home to ignore, at will, his filial du-
ties is almost certain TO prove, when
sent out into the world TO earn his own
livelihood, intractable, inefficient and
generally undesirable. Having failed
to learn the first lessons OF obedience,
he becomes a chronic insubordnatc,
and, having no respect for authority. is
not regarded rs worthy of promotion
TO positions in which the exercise of
authority is incumbent. The best COM
mandrr Is that man who has h mself
been schooled in the rules OF obed elcc.
No business enterprise could succeed II
each clerk were allowed tO consult his
own pleasure in the execution Of orders.
This is q p opposition whinh will not be
disputed by any reasonable mind, but
il Is nevertheless the fact that employ

employees who are vigorously conscien-

ta ks imposed upon them. II i not too

but il Is one thing to strike and quite
another thing TO shirS. The avenues

there are few employers, who re1u re

A Novel Theory.

NJ. Percy, Dion astronomer, offers
a novel explanation of the frequency
of the earthquakes which have pro-
duced so much disturbance on the sur
face of our planet of late. His theory
is that they are caused, like the tides,
by the attraction of the sun and moon,
and he argues that il is only natural
to suppose that the sea of fire in the
interior Of the globe obeys the same
influences MS the ocean on its surface.
NJ. Percy has Investigated the particu-
lars of no fewer than five thousand fouI
hundred different shocks of earthquake,
and a comparison of their dates dem.
onstrate that these phenomena arc
most frequent during the periods OF
full and new moon. He has further
ascertained the shocks have been the
most violent when the moon has been
in the meridian of the place where they
occurred. just rs the tide in n seaport
over whose meridian the moon is pass
ing is higher than that in any of the
neighboring ports.-M J. Post
