MT. TABOR.

MT. TABOR.
Christmas has come and gone and
perhaps many are ready to make
VOWS for the new year that is dawn
ing upon them.
Among the chief attractions in this
community were al exhibition Of Mt.
Tabor school, and the Christmas tree
at Piney woods church. The exhi-
bition on Thursday was well attended.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Mr.. Jacob Sheely and con-
sisted of dialogues and recitations in
which about eighty students partic-
ipate1; all acquitted themselves we'll
alike to preceptors and students.
At Pincy woods on Friday a large
crowd assembled to witness the
beautiful and we'll ladened Christmas
tree. Rev J. X. Efrd offered an
earnest prayer after which he deliv-
cred q short but appropriate address
to the Sunday school reminding the
young that the gifts from the tree
were typical Of the greatest gift to
man-the gift Of Gods only son that
through Him we might have life. The
presents were distributed and many
little boys and girls returned home
with gladdened hearts.
Senator Sligh is home again and
we are clad to see him looking so
we'll. He informs US that his gen
eral health is better than it has been
for years.
Mr.. J. /. Seasc is suffering with an
attack of rheumatism.
Mrs. n. B. Wheeler is slowly re-
covering from long illness.
Mr.. and Mrs. william Hentz Of
Walton will celebrate their golden
wedding on the 31st inst. Long may
they yet live and enjoy the sweets in
an honored old age.
The new wing to the school build
ING at Mt. Tabor has IS if by magic
sprung into existence and is nearing
completion. a subscription is now
being taken to put on belEry Which
means from the liberality of the sub
scribers that crelong the bell will
peal forth its clear notes to warn the
children Of the school hour.
The board of trustees has elected
Miss Ella Sease as second assistant
teacher. Miss Ella is graduate of
Dae West College, and from her cx-
pericnce as q teacher will add to the
proficiency Of the faculty.

ossrn Christina and Her Charity.

Rocked in the ivory cradle, inlaid with
gold and silver, presented to him by his
grandmother, the ex-Queen Isabella, and
nourished by the omnipotent wet nurse,
the infant king Of Spain continues to
thrive. Queen Christina Is gradually re-
Stunning her usual duties. She distributes
more than l00,0 lire month in charity,
without counting extra donations to aims
houses, hospitals and other benevolent in
stitutions, some Of which she founded her
self. On tho bank Of the Manganeres, in

garden, from which in passing ono hears
the laughter, shouts ana cries Of children.
The queen had it built IS resort for the
little children of the laundresses, who,
while their mothers were working, used
to be left On the streets. It is a mingling
OF almshouse and school. She has also
founded hospital for foundlings, a house

tobacco workers, and distribution of

Tho Oyster and Els Shell

Suppose that, placing two oyster SHELF
in their natural position, we insert a
piece of India rubber between the valves
ut the point where they are hinged to-
gether. If we now forcibly close the
shells by pressure, the India rubber is
compressed When wo release the press
ure of our fingers, the elasticity and re-
coil of the India rubber forces the valves
apart. In such fashion, then, does
nature provide for the constant main
tenance of the Enclosed condition. The
'ligaments" Of the shell are natural
elastic pads existing ct the hinge line
BY their elasticity they keep the valves
Enclosed. There is no strain involved in
the action, which is merely mechanical
one after all.
But when the more infrequent act of
closure has to be performed, then mus
cular energy requires to be displayed. The
quick snap Of the valves reminds Is that
muscular eXortion, even if neces. itating
vital wear and tear, has its corresponding
advantage in the rapidity and elective
ness with which it provides for protection
against the entrance of disagreealle or
noXious clements into the internal ar
engagements Of oyster or Elussel life
