The gift originated with those who
understood the biblical lesson that it
Is more blessed to give than to receive
and the real value of the gilt to the re-
cipient was not measured in any de-
gree by its cost to the giver. The
gift to the bride was token of af-
lection from the friend who desired TO
throw sunshine upon her life, and
gilt of Christmas was the gift of
cheer not only to the little ones
but 10 those who inspired the wish
TO crown the holiday with happiness.
Business calculations did not enter
into gifts of any kind in the olden
time when gifts were sacred. The
rich could give much or little with
OUT being misunderstood or criticised.
and the poor could offer the humblest
tribute OF affection or cheer and be
assured OF as generous welcome as
the most opuien5 co I'D command;
but gradually we have been degener-
8ting from the sacred sentiment that
created gifts and have continued to
degenerate from age to age until the
gifts OF to-day como largely from
heartless givers TO heartless re-
eipients. Many OF them indeed are
unwelcome because, in the business
way in which gifts are now given,
of the demand for "A return of equal
value when an opportunity shall offer

A NEW YORK paper tells OF test

knowing something OF the murder of
n woman and her child in that city,
were recently subjected. The men
were Russians and friend of the
murdered woman suggested to some
officers who were making an investi-
CATION that there was "a superstition
among the Russian peasantry that the
wounds inflicted by a murderer would
flow afresb in case he subsequently
touched the body Of his victim. Act
ing upon this suggestion. the suspected
men in turn were compelled to take
the dead woman's hand and to sol
EMMY assert their innocence. The

TESTS ON WAGES.

Mr.. Mckinley and his supporters
now insist that the tariff is simply /" a
question Of wages.n They assert that
high tariff is necessary to sustain
American wages"
Let us test this theory.
When the Mckinley bill was before
the HouseaD Democratic member offered
an amendment requiring thatley
increase of duty should be accompanied
with corresponding increase Of wages
in the industries protected, The Re-
publicans. voted it down. They insisted
that the manufacturers should be left
free to do as they pleased with their
increased bounties. The workingmen
know who has had the lions share Of
the increase. @'s5
In an official inquiry made in this,
State two years ago the fact was der,
yeloped that three-foprths Of all the
increases of wages were due 70 the i'm
ffuence Of labor organizations. What
has the tariff to do with these

industries in cities within 100 miles Of
