 HOLLY. -This shrub used to be em- ptoyed by the early Christians at Rome to decorate churches and dwellings at Christ mas. It had been previously used in the great festival of the Saturnalia, which oc- curred at the same season of the year. The pagan Romans used to send to their friends holly sprigs during thu .Saturnalis with wishes for their health and well being. According to tradition 1t is the bush in which Jehovah appeared to Moses.

depths Of the ocean and the heart Of the earth, these dust notes come in our midst, after myriad wanderings, and our science can now reveal the story of each one of them all. T
 Theprpfessor bent, and looked through his microscope ssThere is flake of dust here,n he said, (which we will examine. It foated on the plate just now while was speakingn He threw smagnifed reflection on screen, till the flake of dust seemed a hundred feet across; he dropped chemicals upon it and winnowed everything from the center. There was the atom at last; all the rest that it had drawn to itself had disappeared.
 Again the professor spoke: "It is evil, and yet you shall see it." On the screen fell the reflection of a vast drop of blood, and in the heart of the drop was a picture of strife on desert edge near palm by an altar, and clock struck the centuries backward in the earsof the audience, till they knew that the } blood was the first drop of blood ever shed 2 in the world from man by his fellow man. ! ''It is an atom" said the professor, s'that makes disease wherever it goes. Now it shall wander forth no longer" He put 1t into one of his vials and fastened it up Then he went on with dust mote after dust mote from the air about him, and showed the audience pictures of the heart atoms of each, which thrilled and convinced every man and woman there The assembly laughed and cried. They yielded to his mighty spell; they ac- cepted the stupendous secret The ultimate atom was no more profound mystery, but creature to be captured, named, analysed and imprisoned by star eyed science.
 Then the professor was asked to cast the magnifed reflection of an atom on the screen without first examining it himself. He looked at the audience again with that indescribably sad expression.
 ssNot vet: perhaps never" he said; ssI see more than am able to tell you, more than any man, with the heart of man, could de- scribe. I read your hearts, know your thoughts, see the record of your sins as l look upon these atoms which float in your atmosphere Now my only happiness is that each one of the diseased atoms can bind, by so much lessen the folly, the falsehood, the evil Of all sorts that fills every atmosphere, even here, even now It is our heritage, the sad heritage of the whole human race, through ages of wretchedness and crime. will only show you what you can bear; the rest will carry alone" He closed his labor atory and left the stage.
 The audience rose with a great sigh and went out; some few were rejoicing, but most were oppressed witE the vast and mysterious forces thus newly given to the human race.
 The professor, wrapped in profound sad ness, sat alone in shis study; and here the president of the university found him some hours later, with his head on his desk-dead He had written on a piece of paper:
 1 After all, I think we were too ambitious The atoms will make all of us enemies to each other. My old heart disease is coming back, but tomorrow shall ask the faculty to wait another fifty years. "-C Charles Howard Shinn in The Argonaut.
