Christmas Aphorisms.

Christmas has gradually evolved
out of its theology and has come to
stand for festival of love- There
fore all men love it, for throughout
the universe love is born Of love and
is worsbiped for its own sake.
No conscientious person can enjoy
his Christmas dinner if he knows any
body else within reach to be hungry.
The consciousness that we have Civ
en- food to the needy provides us
with the finest appetite.
OF late years Christmas has be-
come far more domestic and merry
making holiday than religious one.
But il is religious in the best sense,
since it is day of peace and rest,
and opens the heart to human needs
and human sympathies.
The most satisfactory way to OBJ
serve Christmas is to do at least one
good act to some of our fellows.
Christmas was formed. in ahe era
of theology, from Christ mass. In
these practical and luxurious days
it might signify that we should try
to initiate Christ in dealing with the
mass Of mankind, who are usually
more or less unfortunate. BY SO
dealing with them we should make
all days Christmas days.
Christmas is always associated
with the good Jesus, who, whether
regarded as God or man, was the
purest, lkindest, noblest being that
has walked the earth. He has in
spired love in saint and sinner, in
devotee and skeptie alike, Men may
wrangle about creeds; but about
Jesus and His beautiful life thers
can hardly be any difference Of opin'
ion, for He pitied all who suffered
and strove 70 hesl every AGING h hsi@7t

A very eminent authority on diet
says that the average man in state
of absolute rest can live on sixteen
ounces of food day; a man doing
ordinary light work can live on
twenty three ounces, and man do
ing laborious work needs from TWEEN
tysix and three quarter ounces to
thirty ounces. This is supposed to
be food free from water. and as every
thing we eat contains more or less
water, from forty eight to sixty
ounces of ordinary food may be re-
garded as necessary to healthy exis-
tence, according to the work in
which man is engaged. Lord Play
fair, man who generally knows
what he is talking about, estimates
that the following will give healthy
man sufficient sustenance for whole
week: Three pounds Of meat with
one pound of fat, two ordinary loaves
Of bread, one ounce of salt and five
pints Of milk; or for meat, five or
six pounds of oatmeal may be sub
stituted.

States. forty-two in Ohio, forty in
Indiana. thirty seven in Illinois,

The next West Virginia legislature
will be chiefly remarkably for the
number of new men that will sppear
in it. Very few of the old leaders Of
the legislature have been returned,
and in fact, outside of about half a
dozen in the house and an equal
number in the senate, the legislature
will consist generally of untried
men. 1t is lamentable fact that

Mr.. Cleveland's Views.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December Is.
Some of the Congressman who
went to New York to the Reform
Club dinner, are telling quietly to
their friends what they gathered
there as to Mr.. Cleveland's views on
leading questions. In the first place
from what these gentlemen say, il
seems Mr.. Cleveland is opposed to
the extra session in the spring, I'M
less the condition Of the treasury
makes it absolutely necessary.
But he favors Congress Assem-
blingling in September or October,
by which time the Secretary of the
Treasury and leading Democratic
Congressman could have formulated
tariff bill for Congress to begir
work on. AS to the Speakership Of
the next House, it appears that Mr.
Cleveland, as might have been ex
pected, declined to interfere.
Above all, he does not want bit
ter contest over the Speakership
But it is believed he feels that tn,
success of his administration de
mands that the organization Of th,
next House shall be in full sympathy
with him and ready to carry
into effect the present policy
of the Democratic party. 1t is ais,
believed Mr.. Cleveland will expec
in the next House reorganization
of the committees.

Miss Ida aarner Robbed.



A few evenings ago some one en-.
tered the Presbyterian parsonage, al
Big Run. and it is generally suppos-
ed, commenced to ransack the house
for valuables. The whole family
we're out for tea but returned before
z o'clock. Miss Harner the assist
ant editor of the Echo, has been
making her home with Rev. and
Mrs. Ryland. Her room had been
entered and her pocket book aud its
contents taken from the dresser.
Several other small articles were
missing, among them crochet need
lie, muller and pair of ear rings.
Miss Harner came home first and en-
tered the house. Rev Ryland fol
lowed few moments later and. saw
some one hastily crossing the lot
toward the Presbyterian church.
The time the theft occurred was be-
tween half past six and seven
o'clock. Miss Harner very kindly
requests the person to bring back
the trunk key that was in the peck
ct book as her trunk 10 locked and
she cannot get a key in town that
will unlock il.

A Mile Deep, 10 Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long, and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than ~ hours. The stage fare for the
round "trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
Bile price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus Of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds Of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

Grand Canon, illustrated by many

A Chicken. Coop for Stolen Goods

Samuel Yeager, who, it is alleged,
betrayed the Cooley gang to the
sheriff. pleaded guilty Thursday
morning to charge of carrying con
cealed weapons. In the afternoon
the charges against old man Cooley
and his family (receiving stolen
goods were taken up. Their de
Tense set up the claim that they,
like every one else, were terrorized
by the gang and had to do what
they were told. There was taken
from the house stolen property
enough to fill two-horse wagon.
The place where the goods was stor-
ed was unique. There was near the
house a chicken coop, and inside was
false room, the existence of which
would never be suspected. 1t was floor
ed and underneath the floor the
plumber of the gang was stored. Out
side there was the usual dirt that
showed to every one not in the Sc
cret that the place was merely a
chicken coop The evidence is ex.
peeted to be most interesting. The
Cooley girls, the Commonwealth
hopes to prove, were the seamstresses
of the gang.

Mr. Cleveland was right when he
said: "We should strive to rid
ourselves and our countrymen of
the idea that there is anything
shabby or disgraceful in economy,
whether in public or private life"
1t is distinctly republican idea that
because the country is rich it, ought
to be extravagant.

The Cholera, Immigration and Chicago.

One of the obstacles to the passage
by Congress of law interfering ma
terially with the influx of foreigners
is the Worlds Fair at Chicago. 1t
is proposed to prohibit immigration
for one year to keep out cholera
That will about cover 1898, which is
the year Of the Fair. 1t may be pro
vided, of course, that only visitors
will be allowed to enter the country,
but how are we to distinguish the
visitor whose person or baggage is
full of cholera germs from the one
who is all right? If the tests are
very thorough and are hsrshly ap
piled there can scarcely be the ex-
pected rush of tourists from Europe
and other foreign ports. BY mex.
summer the cholera germ will, it is
supposed, be in South America as
well as Europe. The fear of the dis
ease may, perhaps, interfere to some
extent with the visits of our own
people to Chicago.
