THE KEYNOTE OF CHRIsTMAs.-When
you kneel in the green trimmed church and
say over, qsite quietly, the little prayers
which you love, just think. minute or
two afterwards. how you can make some ,
body else happy on Christmas Day, aao l
assure YOU tha5 you will gain in this way
more absolute joy than has come from the
Chr:str as presents seat to you. The key
note of Christmas Day is the doing for
somebody else The Christ Csild came
into the world, not to be happy, but to
make happiness for others; to make the
nathway of life smooth, and to show how
fforgiving, even unto death, one should be.
So make that your Christmas. Make it
the day when enmity and grudges are for
gotten, when the friendly grasp is given
where it has been withheld for a year and
where every,h ng is blot'ed out ffom your

In view of the great stir recently made
over the invention of the great German
bacteriologist by which it is expected 10
mitigate, at lesst, in large measure, the
scouree Of tuberculosis in the human
family, and reduce the enormous death
rate it produces. DR.. Koch has naturally
become a most attractive aid popular
figure. All the wcrEd now reads, talks aud
thinks of DIR. Koch. The story Of bis life
is therefore interesting. Briefly told it is
this
sHe was born in Clausthal, Germany
on December II, 1843, and is comparative
'ly young man still, being only forty
seven years of age. He graduated in
medicine in 1866, at Goettingen. and set-
tied down to practice his profession in
Buckwitz, Posen. From 1872 to 1880 he
devoted himself almost exclusively to the
study of chemistry and bacteriology, and
was so successful in the latter direction
that he was appointed a member of the
Health Board of the Empire. His studies
led him to the conclusion that tuberculosis,
or consumption, was caused by the pres.
ence in the body of minute germ, and his
publication of en- article announcing that
theory caused a sensation throughout the
medical world. The publication was fol-
lowed by others, and DR.. Koch's name
became so famous that he was made
Privy Counselor, and was put in charge by
the Emperor of scientific expedition to
Egypt and India, With view of studying
the cholera. 1t was on this expedition that |
he discovered the cholera germ, and for |
his invaluable services he received hand |
some financial reward from the Emperor,
and was made professor in the Imperial |
Hygienic Institute in Berlin, which chair
be still occupies %
A melancholy result of the Doctors in
cessant labors in the interest of humanity
is the recent impairment of his health. A
small man, not over feet 8 inches In
height, but sturdily built, year ago he
was possessed of great physical vigor. His
many years work with the microscope had
injured his eyes 80 that he was compelled
TO use at all times a triplex glass of great
power, which disfgured his appearance,
but his commonplace face had then the
ruddy color of health. In the last six
months, however, owing perhaps to his be-
ng constantly in an atmosphere impregnat-
ed with tubercular bacilli, shocking
,hange has taken place in his personal ap-
and it is feared that he himself +
nay succumb to the disease he studied to
His complexion is pale and his
kin dry and parchmentlike. His intimate
friends hope that it is only over fatigue and
mental strain from which he suffers, but
hey fear it is something worse.

A LITTLE MISTAKE.

st. Nicholas was resting
From his Christmas work at last.
The gifts had all been given.
The holidays were past,
And doing in the arm chair.
With his cat upon his knees.
The good Saint smoked his honest pipe.
And took his honest ease.
But something reused him quickly,
He started from his seat,
A soldier bold. maiden fair,
Were kneellng at his feet.
st. Nicholas" TIE maiden cried.
behold my fearful plight!
These wounds have been inflicted
Since that dreadful, dreadful night
When you left me in the stocking
Ofa being dare not name"
She paused, the soldier raised his voice
And said: II blush with shame
To stand before your saintship
In the dress you now behold,
But the way have been treated
Makes my very blood run cold.
I've been nursed and kissed and coddled
I've been rock ed and sung TO sleer;
Oh! were not a soldier still,
I'd almost like to weep"
"Ah," unused the good st Nicholas.
IT think understand"
And he smiled merry little smile,
And coughed behind his hand.
"'Twas on that busy Christmas eve
When all was in whirl,
This doll was given to boy,
This soldier to girl"
And then aloud he gravely said:
II grieve to see your pain,
But If you'll stay with me year
Ali shall be well again.
Next Christmas eve, my children,
When yeu are well and strong.
I will put you in the stockings
Where you really do belong"

Do You Want a Happy Christmasa

Do you want to make happy Christ
mas for yourself and for other people? Then
give, and give royalty, says Edward W.
Box, in the Christmas Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Royal giving means generous bestow
ing of the best that you have to those least
used to possessing.
Your royal gift may be but loving mes
sage, but be sure if it is given in the name
of that little Child it will bring happiness
wherever it goes, and, like tho water of
the fountain, it will return to yon with its
7irtues thousand times greater, aud you
will be made better and younger by it. In
your JOY remember the children, not just
your own-they have you tolook after then,
hut think of the little ones whose homes
are bare, where life is like tossing sea.
Remember the sick children. Think of
the Joy beautiful toy, great, round Or
anpe, big bag of candies only to be look
ed at, will bring to the little ones whose
Ibis are tied down forever. Think of the
great picture book over which the eyes will
open wide-eyes, nay friend, that may soon
be closed forever in death; and of the great
and intense delight felt when wonderful
tree is recognized, o. birds name is
known to the little boy whose life has been
spent in the close streets. These are gifts
that you will never regret. Give of them
give of your plenty and from yoEr heart,
and be sure that to each little one of your
own will come special happiness because
YOU have remembered the sufferers among
the babies. When that Divine Baby slep t
20 quietly in the stable, the great kings of
the earth thought it worth while to bring
presents to HIM, and surely as you consider
the least among these, He will remember
you. Let the bells ring out then, on
Christmas morning and let your heart beat
in unison as you know that you have
brought joy unto His little ones. Children
are Gods own angels sent by Him to
brighten our world, and what we do fe1
these messengers from the sky, especially
at that time of the year which belongs to
them, will come back to us threefold, like
unto bread cast upon the waters.
Remember the first Christmas gifts were
laid at the feet of a child--a poor child OF
humble parent. Give your gifts, then, tt
the humble, to the poor, to the helpless
and thus will your own Christmas bo hap
py one.

How to Accent Presents.

At the holiday season the giving Of gifts
is prevalent. Now everybody can giue
sweetly, gracously and lovingly. How
many can accept in the same spiritP l felt
last year that there was thread of coarse.
nj IS in the girl who. looking at fine book
that had been sent her by friend, said:
"Oh, dear, suppose 1 shall have to get
her something In return for itW That's
barter and exchange. 1t isn't giving
No,hing was to be sent in return for the
book unless it we're the sweetest of thanks,
and he mere fact of the acceptance of
gift does not force upon you it's return.
Gift-giving is like love, the desire is sup
posed to come from the heart, and no gift
is worth anything unless it is sent with
that feeling, and that only. But then you
t1irk you ale to accept and never to re-
turn? My dearest girl, we never know
how we return things in this world, but
everything does equalize itself. You have
been a charming companion and have
frightened many moment to a woman
whose purse is better filled than yours
She sends you, when Christmas Day
comes, some dainty present, some pretty
trif1e that she knows you will like, book
about which you have talked, or picture
that you have admired; the return you
make SHOulu Do your tnaOkSglVluk, dnu
that is all. Your gift of a joyful presence
was made long before the material one. l
do not mean by this that the woman who Is
not rich must not give-God forbid it-but
do mean she must not think of attempt
ing to return at once the gift that has come
to her. It is vulgar, my dear. Wait until
another gift day comes round, and then
give something that expresses yourself, the
child Of your brain and your fingers,
rather than of your purse. After all,
Emerson struck the keynote of gift-giving
when he said, "Our gifts are for the most
part expressionless. Let the sailor bring q
sea shell, the poet q poem and the painter
q picture" and these are the gifts that,
being part of yourself, may be received as
of greater value than anything which
money could obtain.-RUTH AsHMORE, in
Christmas Ladies' Home Journal.
