The Detroit Tribune dips into
statistics and points out the fact tha,
in 1890 out of So murders indicted
in this state only Is were convicted
and of 81 on trial for manslaughtei
only FIVE were convicted. There is
good solid food for thought in the
above figures. The efficacy of any
law depends on its strict enforce
ment. Making tho penalty more
severe will do no good unless there
il some certainty that the penalty
will be enforced.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is the day observed by
Christians, and others now, as the birth
| day of Christ. the Saviour. Just how
the 25th of December came to be OBJ
served as Christmas is not very certainly
known, but it is sufficient to know that
such is the case. The first certain traces
of the observance of Christmas, are
found about 1SO-192 A. D. during the
reign of the Emperor Commodus.
It was first observed only by Chris
tians, who would assemble on that day at
their places of worship, and in worship
celebrate the birthday of their blessed
Lord and Master. Wecould not suppose
for a moment that these early Christians
regarded this as a fit occasion to get
drunk, oveteat themselves, and innu-
merable other ways commit sins.
No, Christmas is surely not the day
fol- sin, but it is a day ofjoy and should be
observed so as to be as full ofpleasure as
possible, but not full of sin and vice. 1t
is woeful disrespect to our Saviour to
celebrate day as his birthday by drunk.
enness and all manner of sins. Our song
should be "Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward
men," Notice, please, it is "Glory to
God in the highest, (not sin against
Elm, and on earth peace, mot riot and
murder and disturbance of the peace,)
good will toward men, inot envy, strife
and wreaking revenge.) 1t is day to
praise God, and not a day set apart for
sins.
1t is very appropriate time to give
gifts to others, and especially the poor,
for we celebrate this as the day on which
God made his richest gift to the human
race; to poor lost man, who was under
eternal condemnation without power of
escape. On the day Chriss was born
in the manger God gave to all men
Saviour, if they will accept him. Teach
the children TO observe Christmas with
becoming love and respect to God.

THE VERY BEST THING.
By R. [

Recitation for a lale girl in third gear Of school.
Once on a time, sweet little girl,
Sat close to grandmother's IS knee,
Trying to plan for her Christmas gifts
As busy as she could be.
She had very many friends to love,
But her purse was very small;
How could she make those few pennies
buy
Enough to gladden. all.
So the little face more sober grew,
The chattering tongue quite still, :.
Till grandma said "What's the matter
dear,
Are YOU tired or feeling ill?"
Then into grandmother lap she climbed
And nestled her curly head;
She told her troubles with fearful eyes,
And this was what grandma said:
"Love is the very best thing in the world,
Of that you have large store;
You may give and give and give and
And always have plenty more"
And so the pure gold will lar outweigh
The prettiest gilded toys,
So is the dear love of friend for friend
Most precious of Christmas joys.
Little willing feet and helpful hands,
Obeying with smiling face,
Mong the Christmas gifts to dear mamma
Will have the very first place.

There is an awful responsibility upon us

How Much Seed Wheat Should be Put

kLarEest Results in the Crop.

Experiments in seeding with differ

the farm belonging to the Ohio State
University several years previous to
the establishment of the Experiment
Station. These experiments have been
continued on the same farm by the
Station, and the tenth experiment has
just been harvested.
In this experiment two varieties OF
wheat were used, Dietz and Velvet
Chaff (Penquite's Velvet.l The land
on which they were sOwn had borne
nine successive crops of wheat, having
been dressed three times with barnyard
manure during that period.
The land occupied by the Velvet
wheat lies upon gravel knoll, sloping
to the west, the gravel coming in some
places to within two or three feet OF
the surface. The wheat on this knoll
has for several seasons been less vigor-
Gus than in other parts OF the field, and
this season especially it was badly in
tested with the wheat midge, common
ly known as red weevil.
The Dietz wheat grew upon land OF
little better quality, and slOping to

but slightly injured by insects. The
results for this year are given in the

LIME CITY.

Friday evening Mt hall past seven
occurred one OF the largest wrecks
that the T. C. g. G. r.. II. has ever had.
The wreck was two miles south OF
Lime City. The cause OF 1T was the
running over OF horse belonging to a
man living about 10 rods from the
railroad. There were fourteen cars
md the engine piled upon the track.
Seven OF the cars were tanks loaded
with oil the other seven were box cars
two loaded with wheat three loaded
with wire nails one with brick and one
with general way freight. There was
no one seriously hurt. The tanks and
cars caught fire from the fire in the
engine and every thing that could
burn was burnt.
The loss to the company's estimated
mt about $4,000. The track has been
cleared so that trains are running a.
usual.
