Our ether Self.

Each OF Us has two selves, the higher
and the lower. When God seems out Of
reach, as is often the case, and our pray
ers return to US heavier and sadder than
when they left our lips, it is a good
plan to commune with that alter ego
which is q shade nearer the divine. that
part which longs 20 help and to over
come, but is-held down by the infr1ni-
ties Of the lower nature. Ask it for
strength and instruction, and by SO do
ing help the whole man. God is so often
beautifully found in such ways.-Ameri-
,an Woman's Journal.

Artificial AurOras.

Artificial miniature auroras of the bo-
reals variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Leastrom' S experiments, which
were made in Finland, the peak of a high
mountain was surrounded with coil OF
wire, pointed at intervals with tin nibs.
The wire was then charged with cleo
tricity, whereupon brilliant aurora ap-
peared above the mountain in which
spectroscopic analysis revealed the
greenish yellow rays so characteristic in
natures display of northern lights. -

How Far Can Thunder BE Heard?

1t is believed that lightning is
visible at a distance Of $50 miles,
but it is still in controversy how
far away thunder can be heard. \
French astronomer has made OBJ
servations on the subject, and he
declares it impossible for thunder
to be heard at 4 greater distance
than ten miles. An English me-
teorologist has counted up to $50
seconds between the fash and the
thunder, which would give dis
lance of twenty-seven miles.-An-

The Mikado's birthday was cele
brated by all the Japs in the
city yesterday, who could fnC
the time and the money to cele
brate. Maunakea street was very
gay with flags and bunting, and
pretty little Yum Yums and cute
Pitt Sings were seen on every
hand.
Officially, the day was celebrated
by reception at the japanese con-
sulate on Nuuanu avenue, where
Mr.. Fujii, his Imperial japanese
Majesty's representative here, held
a reception. The large house and
grounds were both thrown open to
visitors, and a delicate luncheon
was served to all.
Prominent representatives of the
acknowledgements, and of the
United States, England, France
and all other countries officially
represented here, were present and
gave their congratulations to Mr..
Full on the emperor's having safely
passed another year of his reign.
The reception lasted until 4 o'clock.
AT noon the Philadelphia, which
was gayly decked with flags. fred
a national salute of twenty-one
guns.
In the evening there was.sy1s-ge
patriotic meeting ct Fce Arncrv On
d 6sre'4 ana s itdE6et. At least five hun
oil a.S0T .nese were in the hall and
seemed to enjoy the proceedings.
The open sides Of the armory had
been enclosed with large flags ofall
nations and the hall was lighted
entirely with japanese lanterns,
big and little, all of gay colors,
which gave very soft, beautiful
light. Across the street in front of
the building extended three long
lines of the same kind of lanterns.
On the mauka side of the hall
was the speakers stage, and back
of this large Japanese flag. I'm
derneath this, was an inscription
in japanese, appropriate to the
occasion. In the upper end was
the refreshment table, a huge af-
fair laden down with delicacies,
and with the one word, "Welcome"
on it in large letters. The other
end was occupied by the Hawaiian
band, which played during in
termissions between the speeches.
The meeting was opened by the
Rev. Mr.. Oku, who stated that the
object of the meeting was to cele-
brate their rulers birthday. He
gave place to Mr.. Fugii, who read
the imperial message, and after him
came, in quick succession, Messrs.
Sugiyama, Uchida, Aoki, Midzano,
Ono and others. The audience
was a very attentive one, and fire.
quent applause greeted the efforts
of the speakers.
When the literary programme
was over, three cheers for the EN-
peror, and for Japan were called
for and given with true Japanese
fervor. After this demonstration
the supper was the next considera-
ton, and the good things disap-
peared with a will. The meeting
closed a little after 9 o'clock.

his death.
The deceased was twice married

QUIET BUT HAPPY CHRISTMAS,
Tom Watson's Bear Show the Leading
Attraction.

=
Attraction.
Christmas in Winston-Salem passed
off quietly but pleasantly.
Old Santa Claus, as usual, visited
many homes and made glad the hearts
of the little folks by distributing
presents of various kinds.
The ordinance furbidding the pom
ping of tirecrackerS was not suspended
but many of the boys had their fun
just the same. However no damage
was done. In Salem several baby
walkers and other dangerous fire
works were exploded. If the boys
would only stop to realize the danger
in what they term sport they would
put stop to it at once.
The biggest attraction on Christmas
day in Winston was bear and a
hand-organ exhibition on Liberty
street, near the pOstoffice. The outfit
consisted of .Auctioneer Davis, of
Browns warehouse, T. w. Watson.
George Hanes and Hunter Parkinson.
Davis was the bear and did the dane
ing act at the command of his keeper,
ThOs. Watson, who had IA chain
around the animals neck and who
made "bearee" get move on him
SELF by the use of sharp stick. He
also ran up an electric light pole to
the delight of the crowd. George
Hanes was the organ man while
Hunter Parkinson carried the collec-
tiOn hat until it was discovered that
the on-iookers had no ready cash at
their command The outfit, when
last seen, was going up Liberty street,
followed by the usual crowd of a bear
and monkey show.

tsaI-imGhtS-A REVIEW.
The Christmas-tide observances of
the Moravian church have come to
have wide reputation, and they are
the happy means, not ony of drawing
together many a scattered family, but
but also of deepening the religious life
and experience of its many communi-
cants. The services this season were
exceptionally bright and inspiring.
The venerable church, which has
stood just as long as this century has
lasted, seemed to have its youth re-
neWed'by the carefully planned deco
rations. which consisted in tine main
of five tapering gothic arches spring
ing from the pulpit, which harmon
lied we'll with the heavy evergreen
festoons depending in six deep swing
ing folds from the central chandelier.
Suitable inscriptions made of ever
green letters were affixed to the gal
lery the whole decoration rejecting
the artistic taste of its designer, Miss
Gertrude Siewers, of the Salem Ee-
male Academy art department.
Christmas Eve uShered in the fcS-
tive services, and seldom is happier
gathering seen than was the case
when, at the afternoon needing, TIE
great structure was filled with several
hundred children, whose eyes gleam-
ed bright reflection to the many
glowing wax taDers. The singing at
the night service on Christmas Eve
was grander by far than that of any
previous occasion, the vast audience
seeming to be fairly thrilled by the
jOyOusness of the occasion, and the
whole sanctuary was vocal as the IA
miliar hymns rose in a grand chorus,
lead by the organ, whose age has given
it a tender mellOwness of tone, along
with the full choir and orchestra.
Christmas day was as bright and
Sunshiny as summer day, and
again the church was filled to hear a
plain, earnest discourse-a heart to
heart sermon-by Bishop Rondthaler,
on the tiding of the angel Luxe 2:I1.
The evening was given up to the very
interesting exercises of the Home
Sunday school, which were successful
ly given under the direction of the SUI
perintendent. Col. Frank Fries.
An account of Salem's Christmas
would not be complete without men
tion being made of the Sunday school
entertainments given by the various
chapels, which, located ia all direc-
tiOns, are like bulwarks to the old
central hOme-church.
Calvary Chapel, Winston, took the
lead very successfully on the Friday
preceding; it was followed by the
youngest of the chapels-that of West
Salem, known as Christ Chapel, where
bright program was given to d
''running-over" house. Sunday after
noon was set aside for CenteryIlle, and
the neat church, with its tasty deco
rations, was again crowded to the ut
most. Many of our townspeople en-
joyed the christmas Bells" concert
in East Salem on the afternoon of
second Christmas day, and the Elm
Street Sunday school fully sustained
tion on Tuesday evening.
