The attempt to lionize the daughter
of JEFF. Davis is receiving consider
able criticism from those who still be-
lieve that Davis was a rebel. She
may be very estimable young lady
per Sc, but her father still boasts that
he is unrepentant, and glories in the
fact that he is so. He never lets an
opportunity pass to add fuel to the
smouldering embers of rebellion.
Should, then, the loyal people of the
North take especial pains to lift Miss
Davis into favorable notice simply be-
cause her father was q traitor?

NOTES.,

Col. John S. Mosby, of Confeder-
ate guerrilla fame, has entered into
an engagement to deliver his war lee
ture for fifty nights at $500 night.
1t is claimed that the increase in
the number of persons using glasses
is fully thirty-three and one-third pei
cent. over previous periods. This is
set down as partly due to the prac-
tice people have of buying glasses OF
unskilled persons, and partly to no.
tons of economy in buying cheap
glasses. The number of opticians
has, of course, correspondingly in
creased.
The townaof Durham, N. c., rivals
western villages in the rapidity of its
growth. In 1870 its population was
only $50: now it is $500, with 1900
or 5000 just outside the boundaries.
The valuation has risen from $50, ZOO
to 100000. Tobacco, cotton and
wooden factories account for this re-
markable development.
Preaching at a harvest thanksgiv-
ing service at Grief parish church re-
Gently, says the London Truth, the
Rev. Principal Cunningham told his
parishioners that they were in a great
measure to blame for having suf-
fered from q disastrous harvest. But
for their puritanical observance of the
Sabbath. he remarked, most of the
grain that was now lying rottlng in
their fields would have been safely
housed in their barns, for on a recent
Sunday, when all the crop was in a
fit state to be gathered in, the farm
ers and their servants either spent the
day at church or in bed, instead of at
tending to their farm duties.
The value of marriage as an ele-
ment in the labor problem has been
illustrated in the Chicago stock yards
strike. Wber the order for the strike
was passed most of the married men
objected, and afterward voted against
the order. The unmarried men, who
are about Is per cent. of the packing
house operatives, voted in favor of
going out, being unincumbered with
families and bent on a vacation.
Mexico delights in large families.
A visitor at funeral of Mexican
said that around the grave were 81
sons and daughters Of the deceased.
A man in Mexico who has had two
wives has forty-fve children living.
A gentleman having eighteen broth
ers and sisters, says that his mother
is only thirteen and half years older
than he. 1t is fortunate that the ma
tives are able to live in a cane hut
and exist on beans and rice.
Prof Foster, the meteorological,
predicts a great storm period, extend
ing from December 18th to the 18th,
during which wilt occur some of the
most destructive winter storms of
more recent years. These storms
will be much of the same nature as
the billiards. Of last January. Heavy
snow and high winds will greatly i'm
pede railway travel, and he advises
the railways to prepare for blockades
that will occur in the Western States
about December 9Th, and reach the
Eastern States December 9th. There
will be energetic electrical disturb
ances that will effect telegraph and
telephone lines. He suggests that
many lives and much property can be
saved from loss by making prepara-
tions for severe weather.

8 Pr9terita " is this interesting anec
dote: The day after leaving Venice on
his hOmeWard journey, in 1915, he was
stopped at Padua by sharp fit of ner-
vous fever. He was able to travel in a
day or two, but felt considerable mental
depression, which was aggravated by
the receipt of a letter announcing the
death of his cousin John, which had
occurred in Australia. He then states
that till this time no occasion of life
had put him to any trial of direct
prayer.
But now, between the Campo Santo
and Santa Maria Novella, 1 had been

relations that might truly exist between
God and his creatures and, thinking

And there, against the time of its embodiment,
Sheltered by love, has all its green laid by.

The sweet new freshness to be showing.

Before the old are fallen off

Like as the new leaves are to old.
May be the life which we shall know,
To the old life fallen away
That the new may unhindered grow.

Familiar as the leaves of Spring
May be the look they wear to u.s.
