RING OUT WILD BELLS.
Ring in the valiant man, and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand,
Ring out the darkness of the land.
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
ALFRED TENNYsoN.
On Christmas Eve the bells were rung,
On Christmas Eve the mass was sung.
The night only in all the year
Saw the stated priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen,
The hall was dressed with holly green,
Forth to the wood did merry men go,
To gather the mistletoe.
SIR WALTER ScoTT.
Now all our neighbors' chimneys smoke,
And Christmas blocks are burning.
Their ovens they with baked meats choke.
And all their spits are turning.
Without the door let sorrow lie,
And, if for cold it hap to die,
Well bury it in Christmas pie,
And evermore be merry.
GEORGE WITHERs.
WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES.
When Christmas comes, and meath the SHOWS
The barren ground lies deep, there grows
A softer beauty DER the earth,
And when before there was dearth
OF Good, there doth the pure repose.
And where before all-selfsh rose
Rank weeds of Greed and Hate, now those
Are covered, at Loves snowy birth,
When Christmas comes.

The reigning families of the Old
World will soon be so closely kin to
one another that they will constitute
one great family. The marriage of
Sophie, sister of Emperor Willie of
Germany, to the crown prince OF
Greece, will join by blood the
families of Russia, Denmark, Great
Britain, Germany and Greece, reg
ular chain, passing from northeastern
Europe westward and back again to
the east. Italy, Australia and Spain
are the only principal monarchies
not yet in this blood alliance. DIFF
ference of religion constitutes the
bar to union with these. But else

cannot fire a gun without shooting

HOW DRUNKARO'S ESCAPE.
Their Muscles Fail to Respond to the
shock OF Blow.

Their Muscles Fall to Respond to the
shock of "a Blow.
A few days ago a man was knocked
from trestle-work on the Cleveland,
Canton e. Southern railway near Cross
street, by locomotive. The train was
stopped and the victim was tenderly
picked up and taken to the depot He
was intoxicated and paid veiy little at
tention TO the efforts being made In his
behalf At the depot he denied that he
had been on the trestle and demanded
10 know who had taken his hat Short
ly after he was arrest on Ontario street
for being drunk. He gave no evidence
OF pain until several hours later, and
then DR.. Cole was called to attend him.
The man seemed to have escaped with
q few bruises, and at the Central police
station 1t was regarded as another in
stance OF drunken mans luck" While
the subject was up for discussion pa
trolman related the circumstances OF an
affair that occurred on Canal street
A drunken man had stumbled along a
dark passage-way between two build
ings and finally fell about twenty-five
feet down a steep fight OF stairs to the
Valley railway tracks. He was finally
discovered and carried back to Canal
street to await transportation in the pa
troll wagon. His pulse could scarcely
be detected, and the only question with
those gathered about him was whether
the man was already dead or would die
within the next ten minutes. When
landed at the station he demanded to
be released, and asked whose business
it was if he chose to drink little beer.
He had apparently sustained no injury
by the fall. DIR. Cole related a river
street case where man fell from n
three-story window upon woman
seated in front OF a saloon. The doctor
had been summoned in hot haste by the
man friend, but upon his arrival the
victim of the fall said very Indignantly
that he had not sent for the physician
and had no need for his services.
When asked whether there was any
explanation for the uniform good for
y
by accident, Dir. Cole said it was due
to lack Of interest In their fate. In
falling the body is limp and lifeless,
while that OF sober man would prob
ably be very nearly rigid. In the case
of the latter blow upon any part OF
the body would be followed by instan-
taneous contraction of the muscles,
having perhaps nearly as much force
as the blow itself. 1t was stated by
the physician that often the sudden
and violent contraction of the muscles
caused by blow furnished nearly half
the force exerted to produce the tract
ure OF bone. a drunken mans mus
cles, it was explained, would not re-
spond in a similar way to the shock OF
the blow, and he would naturally es-
cape that element OF danger. Glove

The United States Government
has been for some time investigating
the purity of many baking powders
on the market having in view the
health of the public. 1t might pros
ecute its investigators to great al
vantage in a thousand ways, not the
least being the manufacture Of the
so-called WHISTLES and wines. We
venture the assertion that the adult
Grafton of liquors in America is the
most gigantic fraud of its kind per
petrated on a people. Absolutely
pure WHISTLES and wines do not com
prise ten per cent of the manufacture.
The most villianous decoctions are
sold. A stringent law against the
adulteration of liquors would go a
long way toward lesscning the drink
ing evil, or rather the evils refulting
from drinking.

MARRYING HOUSE-KEEPERS.

How did it come about? is question
now asked in regard to the marriage Of
a popular writer The same question
was asked five years ago when a society
man in Boston married sensible homo
body, some years his senior. The
croakers croaked we'll and decided that
it was an unfortunate affair or would
turn out to be in the end. George Eliot
says that this love OF Finding out how
it came about" is due to IAN excess Of
poetry or stupidity" don't know as
that is just fair, but do think when q
marriage is contrary to established
rules, croakers are stupid. and fortu-
nately are often in the wrong in their
prophecy. 1t is written that when a
marriage was about to take place King
James used TO ask: What is the wo-
mans makdom and her fairness?" The
days of "infatuations' are now giving
place to a keen outlook in the direction
OF personal comfort; makdom and fair
ness stand one side and the question to
be answered first, Will this woman
make my home restful TO me, and will
she live on what | can earn? Subtle
has been the process that has led to
this gradual change. but change has
come.
The brilliant society man referred to
is now a regular stay-at-home, for the
simple reason his home is as perfect as
home can be made TO be. The SUM-
NEST, brightest room in the house is
his sanctum; here are his favorite
books, pictures he likes the latest
magazines leaves cut, and no end OF
pipes When the train whistles into
the depot in which is this fortunate
man, fire is started on the low hearth
TO make the room cheerful although
the warmth is not needed.
