New York, May S1.-Stephen r. Fisk.
editor of the Spirit of the Times, has
been defeated in his suit for divorce.
He alleged that he was deceived by
his wife, Mary Francis Lyon Paulina,
whom he married in Philadelphia and
who represented at the time of the
marriage that she was a single woman,
whereas she had been married several
years before having subsequently pro-
cured divorce on the ground of de-
sertion. Mrs. Fisk testified that she
had acquainted Fisk with the facts
prior to their marriage.

Christmas Changes.

The Yule log has given place to the
steam radiator, the furnace register and
the base burning heater, but we who are
warmed by any of these means on Christ
mas eve are quite as likely to enjoy Christ
mas as were our forefathers and foremoth-
ers, who used to celebrate it's festivities
when gathered about the old time fire
places. There have been changes in heat
ing apparatus, but human nature and
Christmas remain as they were and will
probably SO remain after the present ap-
paratus has been displaced by electric heat
ers We grumble about our furnaces, our
radiators and our stoves and will probably
grumble about our electric heaters, but in
Yule log times our ancestors were often
roasted on one side and frozen on the other.

Skeleton of a Lay Sermon For Christmas.

Skeleton Of a Lay Sermon For Christmas.
First.-Young women who are thinking
of giving Christmas remembrances to their
pastors should remember that the straight
and narrow path is not an easy road to
travel at all times, and therefore stout
walking shoes may be moro appropriate
than embroidered slippers.
Seccnd-Measure the value of the gifts
you receive by the motives of the givers
and not by their intrinsic value. Often
times when the proper standard Is used the
humblest gift, costing but few cents, is
found to be of more real worth than the
richest, most expensive present.
Third.-If you have made up your mind
to give So-and-so Christmas gift just be-
cause you think you are going to receive
one from that quarter, you would better
abandon the idea altogether. Christmas
gifts prompted by anything but a desire
to confer a real pleasure upon the recipient
had best go ungiven.
Fourth.-It's a good thing to eat the old
time Christmas dainties at Christmas time
the rich black plum pudding, the boar S
head and the juicy baked goose-just the
same as our forbears did. But If you have
indigestion the next morning do not
grumble Go out into the sunshine and
walk five miles, or, better yet, hunt up
an AK and log Of wood and make the
chips fly for an hour or two. 1t is law
of nature that whose will not physically
labor shall not overeat with impunity.
Fifth.-It's a good thing to remember
that the recording angel is likely to make
a bigger entry to your credit on his books
because of the gift of half worn overcoat
to shivering fellow man or dinner to a
half starved and possibly grimy urohin
than because of costly jewel given to q
favorite of fortune.
Sixth. Christmas is the day Of all the
year ON which the unlovely traits of your
character should be smOthered, and II
would be a great thing for you If you were
to manage in some way this year to get
rid of those traits altogether.

A street urohin stood peering into the
window of toyshop one evening just be-
fore Christmas watching a prosperous
father buying presents. Bigger and bigger
the boys eyes grew as the purchasing went
on. Finally, when it was all over and the
man left the store, the lad sided up to
him and with great diff1dence asked:
"Wuz all them things you bought fer
one boy, mister?"
"Why, yes, certainly" said the man
impatiently as he turned away with the
bundles under his arms.
The street boys eyes grew bigger yet.

breath. erich mems boys must wear

Tho Russian Christmas.

In many parts of Russia, particularly in
provinces remote from the populous CEN
ters, Christmas is celebrated more as it
was when first introduced. Families,
friends and often small neighborhoods
gather at one house for celebrations The
mistress of that house at once becomes the
supreme manager Of all the services and
festivities, even to selecting the young
men who shall each be the special escort
Of certain young lady. These "elec-
tions," as they are called, coming in the
season for betrothals and associated as
they are with the mystic influence of the
mistletoe, often lead to festivals where the
olive branch joins the holly and orange
blossoms. Solicited.

Voices Of the Bells.

Listen to the Christmas bellsl
While all the world is praying,
-huy are pealing, swelling, telling,
and this is what the bells are saying:
VI are the voices of vedas and sagas
We are the tongues Of prophet and priest,
We are the lips Of the sibilant sleepers
Who dreamed Of star in the purple east
Hard by the gates Of the mystical morn
When the Christ was born.
We arc the prayers Of the wandering magi
On syrian deserts all level and lone
We are the chorus Of Jud@an shepherds,
Woare the notes that from heaven were blown
From the golden throat of an angels horn
When the Christ was born.
We are the teardrops Of grief and Of sorrow.
We are the echoes Of yesterdays pain,
We arc the jubilant voice of tomorrow.
10, peace on earthi Let thy good will reipnl
So our lips break silence on Christmas morn
When the Christ was born.
