CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION.

Christmas Tree Celebration of the
Children of the Sunday school Last
Evening.
There was large number of people
present at the Church of the Ascension
last evening to witness the Christmas tree
celebration for the children come cted with
the Sunday school. At about 7:20 O'Clock
the silvery notes of the church bell told
that the exercises were about to begin, but
before that hour many happy little one .
had taken possession of the main part of
the edifee, and their faces told of the hap
piness the occasion afforded them. The
exercises were opened by Christmas
carol entitled ''The Bells" by the boy choir,
and their excellent music was commented
upon and much appreciated. The rector,
Rev. Frederic W. Bailey, then made a
short and highly felicitous address to the
happy throDg, calling their attention to
the fact that he had just left the hospital,
was in progress, and drew vivid illustrs-
ton of the difference between that
scene and this one; at the hospital
pale and haggard faces could be
seen upon either hand yet seemingly happy
over their lot, while before him at his
church was an array of bright, sparkling
eyes which told of good health and joy.
He reminded his hearers that the same
Saviour whose birth they were now cale-
brsting was the one who was being re-
membered at the hospital, and asked that
those who were blessed with health should
feel grateful for their condition and thank
full to their Master. During the progress
of the distribution of the presents the
rector was presented with a substantial
purse by his parishioners as token of
good will. The church was handsomely
trimmed with evergreens in the shape Of
wreaths and crosses, and perhaps one of
the most beautiful pieces of all was huge
golden tinted star made of flowers and
located high up in the chancel, the gift of
the rector, under whose supervision 1t was
placed there. 1t attracted much attention.
The entire affair passed off in most salts

A Christmas Tree at the Hospital.
A Christmas tree entertainment was held
at the hospital last evening. Clifford

green's and wreaths and festoons of holly
and laurel. The large Christmas tree was

up. There were about one hundred patients
present, some of whom lay on cots placed
for them in the room before the exercises.
There are 1873 patients in the hospital.
Twenty of them are children. All received

ment was greatly enjoyed by all who at

The Language of Animals.

There may be nodumb animals-only
their voices may be out of Jul ear. It
must be supposed that small creatures,
including quadrupeds, hear sounds much
more acute than are audible to US, but
none Of the lower notes of our scale.
This is perhaps the case with cats and
dogs. who can obviously communicate
with one another, coming so close as al
most to touch noses, but making no
sound audible to us. Thus there is not
such a confusion of noises as there would
be otherwise. The vast difference of
pitch heard by different great tribes of
creatures causes us and them to have,
SO to speak, the world to ourselves. New

How to Measure a River.

Anybody can measure approximately
the breadth Of a river without a survey
or's compass or any mechanical means
whatever. The man who desires to make
the experiment should place himself at
the edge of the stream, then stand perfect
ly still. face the opposite bank and lower
the brim Of his hat until it just cuts the
opposite bank. Then let him put both
hands under his chin to steady his head
and turn slowly round until the hat brim
cuts some point OF the level ground be-
hind him. Mark the spot where the hat
brim cuts the ground, then pace off the
distance, and it will be found about the
breadth of the river.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat,
