THERE is a strong probability that the

THERR is a strong probability that the
new German army bill will pass. 1t in
creases the effective strength OF the
army very greatly, and nearly puts it on
war footing. The triple alliance is
rendered useless by the inability of Italy
to take her part in it, and Austria's
weakness does not help matters.
The brunt of the warlike coalition
between France and Russia would have
to be mainly borne by Germany in case
of hostilities. She would find herself
between two tremendous fires, and the
kaiser thinks he can only meet the situa-
tion by placing his army on war foot
ing. How long Germany, however, can
stand this terrible strain on her re-

European statesmen. In sheer despera-

continue a strain that must soon reach
its utmost tension. The policy OF France,
under the circumstances, is clearly to
avoid war. The pressure OF taxation
upon the German people is fighting with
terrible effectiveness on her side. The
longer she wards off hostilities the bet
ter is her situation to meet them when
they come.

strange Habits of this Curious Menu
Der of the Feathered Tribe.
The butcher bird, that is familiar To all
ranchers in this region, is considered nv
some OF the foremost Ornitholorists as
the most sagacious bird in America.
Thomas Oldham of Lordsburg tells ms
that he believes it as cruel as it is saga
cious. Il have paid lots Of attention 10
a pair Of common butcher birds at NV
place for six months" said he to us the
other day, land | have learned many
new things about the habits of the nern-
liar butcher bird. a pair of them have
followed me while at blowing for three or
four days at time, watching and WAITING
for me to overturn a nest of field-uice
When | Overturn nest they will nouDce
down upon the little mice and claw and
peck them to death. Then the mouse car
casses are carried away to some nnigh
boring orange or lemon tree and spiEed
upon the thorns. The birds seldom cat
the mice, but kill them from sheer love
of the excitement. When they can spike
a live mouse, or even a rat on a thorn
they tiutter about and chatter with them,
selves as if they had great fun in seeing
the rodents squirm and twist in the tbroes
of death.
but l am most surprised to see how
strong butcher birds are and what thew
can lift and fly away with. I have offen
seen toads that had been impaled upon
the thorns of century plant on NV
place and left to die. The other morn
ing I saw butcher bird with a snake
fully foot long. He had it by the back
of the neck, and flew with it up into an
orange tree. He then nailed the reptile
on to a thorn and sat and watched it. He
let the snake almost wriggle OF, when he
flew at it and would fix it on more firmly.
Because these birds are destructive to
gophers and rats, they are considered the
friends of the orange-grower." Pomona

CHRISTMAS EVE.
So still the night, so clear. so calm. so light!
Above, star pours down its golden light
Heavens King, babe new born to earth-life,
lay.
The shepherds watching on the hillside there
Their slumbering fiocks hear music in the air,
An angel chorus Gliding their great fear
And telling of the newborn King so near.
No bed of down by human art contrived,
No sllken coverlet, nor linen white,
Wherein he might be clothed, the wee King
thrived,
Though but q manger was His bed that
night.
His royal couch from natures store was
gathered;
The OK and ass their honest homage pay
In common with the wise men who had
weathered
Full many a cline from lands so far away.
To reach this babe in lowly manger sleeping,
Ger whom the star was beaming brightly
down,
They'd FASTENED on, each pulse and heartbeat
leaping-
They knew their King was born in Beth
ehem town.
Weary and toilworn, guided by the star,
from foreign lanes they Travelled long and far
To ind their Lord, and at His baby feet
Lay gifts and homage to His station meet.
The old. sweet tale so often told and sung
The ages since have with its sweetness rung,
For Lethlehem's babe that in the manger lay
Is earths Redeemer and Heavens King TO-
day.
