A Christmas Thought.

The anniversary of the birthday
of the Divine child who was
born in poverty to a life of perfect pur-
ity, yet of unexamoled suffering ans to
death of extreme and prot1acted agony
all endured to redeem lost world
should be honored in remembering tho
little children whom he loved. The day
IS especially child's festival and the
children of all except the poor enjoy it
supremely. But the children of the very
poor Their lot is at all times a yery
lard and bitter lot--;,ever so hard and
so bitter as at Christmas where the con-
trast between therich and the poor. even
between the merely well-to-do and the
e I
extremely poor are brought outinto such
strong and painful light. The destitute
little ones see the beautiful things pre-
pared for happier children and long for
little OF what they cannot get. To my
friends-help those little ones to be hap
py on the birthday of the Divine Child.
Remember who it was who said: "Inas-
much as you have done it to the least of
these ye have done it unto me.''

The task of securing recognition from
famous people in answer to request for
a sentiment appropriate to Christmas we
have found to be interesting. Men like
Nye, Riley. and Field are always cour-
teous as are also Warner and Aldrich.
But one occasionally runs up against a
literary gentleman who cannot avoid
displaying his Importance. For instance
Edward Atkinson orders his secretary to
write that the said Edward Atkinson
does not keep a stock of sentiments on
hand, a snub which he thinks will surely
grieve us deeply. Then Rudyard Kipling
in printed notice informs us that he
will be pleased to send his autograph
when he finds our name on a srbscrip-
ton list for $3.50 to a certain Fresh AR
Fund. We are glad to learn this. It will
teach us how to properly approach true
Importance in the future or rather
how to leave it severely alone.

1T Is said that il requires one

ABSOLUTELY PURE
EXERCISE FOR THE EYES

Absolutely Necessary In Order That the
Vision May BE Preserved.
When the eyes are treated fairly, they
are strengthened, not weakened, by
work. just as the arms of blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, so the
ewes of watchmakers who work under
healthy conditions are found to improve
and not to deteriorate in vigor and
Suickness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use. which is to be avoided.
If man Is aware either that his eyes
need no artificial correction or else
have received their proper adjustment,
and if his work, whether literary or
mechanical. is done in a light both
steady and sufficient and with due re-
gard as to ordinary sanitary rules. he
NAV feel sure that he is strengthening
his ewes, not weakening them, by hard
work. Men of intellectual pursuits
sometimes are afraid of losing their
mental powers in old age because they
have drawn so much upon them when
young. The reverse is nearer the truth,
and if they have not overtaxed their
brains the fear is absolutely groundless.
