Magic In the Name Of Christmas.

Christmas time That man must be q
misanthrope indeed in whose breast
something like jovial feeling is not
reused, in whose mind some pleasant
associations are not awakened, by the
recurrence Of Christmas. There seems a
magic in the very name Of Christmas.
Petty jealousies are forgotten, social
feelings are awakened in bosoms to
which they have long been strangers.
Kindly hearts that have yearned toward
each other, bat have been withhold by
Ialse notions Of pride and seis dignity,
are again reunited, and all is Kindness
md benevolence. Would that Christmas
lasted the whole year through l--Charlos
Dickens.

The Christmaa Tree.

After all has been said and done,
Christmas is not Christmas without a
Christmas tree. You may omit the hol-
ly, even the mistletoe, but the Christ
mas tree is as essential an attribute to
real live" Yuletide as the turkey or
plum pudding. In humble households
the turkey is often missing. OF neces-
sity it must give place to more pie
beian chicken, and the pudding to a
"store" mipce pie, or something of that
kind. Yet no one can demur, for how
could any one dare to be hypercritical
on Christmas day? But take away the
tree, and every child in the household
will pronounce this feast of feasts dis
NAL. melancholy failure. Home and

The Three King. Of the East,

The story of the magi or Three
Kings of the East, belongs, Of course,
TO Christmastide, and the alteration of
the wise men formed favorite scene
in early English mysteries. In the leg
end the three kings are called Mel
choir, who was old, with gray hair and
beard, aud who offered gold to the in
FAINT Saviour; Jasper, who was young,
and presented frankincense, while Bal
thasar, of dark complexion, with dark,
flowing beard, brought myrrh. The star
which guided them had the form Of a

LIGHTING THE YULETIDE LOG.
An Old English Custom That Has Not En-
tirely Disappeared.

A custoL. .l one time prevalent in
England, and still observed in some Of
the northern districts of Che old coun-
try, is that Of placing an immense log
of wood--sometimes the root of "a great
tree-in the wide chimney place. This
log often called the Yule log, and it
was ON Christmas eve that it was put
on the wide hearth Around it would
gather the entire family, and its en-
trance was tho occasion of great deal
of ceremony. There was music and re-
joicing, while the one authorized to
light it was obliged to have clean hands.
II was always lighted with a brand
left over from the log Of the previous
year, which had been carefully preserved
for the purpose. A poet sings of it in
this way:
With the last yeere's BRAND

The Yule log was supposed to be a
protection against evil spirits, and it
was considered bad omen il the fire

themselves in front Of the brightly burn

To those who are curious tC
know of the merits and origin
of the Aermotor and how in
the fourth year of its existance
it came to turn out many times
as many wind mills as all
others combined, the following
facts will be of interest. They
commenced in a field in which
there had been no improve
ment for 25 years, and in which
there seemed no talent or am
bitiOn and none has since been
shown except in the feeble
imitation of their invention
Before commencing the manu-
facture, exhaustive scientific
Investigations and experiments
were made by a skilled
mechanical engineer, in which
over $500 dynamometric tests
were made on 81 different
forms of wheels, propelled by
artificial and therefore uniform
wind, which settled definitely
many questions relating TO the
proper speed of the wheel, the
best form. angle, curvature
and amount of sail surface, the
resistance of air to the rotation,
distractions before the wheel
as in the vaneless mill; and
many other more abStruse,
though not less important
questions. They insert in the
casting gun metal box which |
is in itself the best bearing
known. This bearing is made
with a large upright tube
which is filled with machinists'
waste saturated with oil. This
makes the best
and most lasting method of
oiling 1t is the one universally
adopted by railroads and in
trunions for cable roads and
constant and
severe usage make frequent
oillng necessary, Graphite
bearings have long been
known, but in none of these
places are they used, although
railroad men would not hest
tate to incur almost any ex-
pense to avoid the constant
which frequent oiling
and hot boxes require. The
graphite bearing in connection
with wind mills has only been
brought out to obviate the nee
essity of using the fitting
tower. If you want a strong
stiff steel tower, or one that

THE OPPOSITION DYsPEPTIc.

THE OPPOSITION DYSPEPTIC.
One of the writers OF the OppOsi.
ton press in the course OF remark,
presumably intended for their in
huence abroad" says that the
country Is bankrupt officially and
privately" Of course any Govern
ment Is subject TO more or less crit
icism from its enemies, but we
can't see why these people should
always Judge others by themselves.
This, however, Is one OF the peculi-
arities OF the attacks upon the pres
ent Government. Immediately one
Of the powers Of the Opposition be-
gins to get short in pocket change
and feels ut odds with the world
generally, ne becomes enthused
with the idea that the Government
Is to be blamed for his unfortunate
condition, and forthwith launches
forth on a wild tour through the
Government departments, splitting
red ink on every official that hap
pens to attract his thought for the
time being. All this Is dished up
into one shape and another and
presented to the public as honest
criticism"
Those conversant with the stu
alton realize that this is simply
a form of political dyspepsia
augmented by a leaning toward
private bankruptcy. The disgrunt-
led dyspeptic feels a knawing in
his own stomach and Is decidedly
put out because there are others
who are not suffering from the
same malady. He hates the sight
of the wholesome political food OF
the Republic and, as Is usual in
such cases, misery loves company.
Rather than put his shoulder to
the wheel and assist in solving the /.
problems which have to be faced, /
he finds the comfort of n lazy man .
who doesn't want to work. in max /
ing faces and setting up a calamity
howl He doesn't believe Minister
Castle ought to go to Washington
simply because he would like to
see President Cleveland take offense
at tardy action in appointing Mr..
Thurston's successor he doesn't
want Minister Smith to take a va
cation in studying New Zealand
land laws because he would like to
see Mr.. Smith worked to death, and
the land laws as much out of
joint as possible he declares that
Minister Damon's fnanciering
is rotten, because Hawaiian bonds
are selling above par in London
and very few people in the United
States or England see any reason
for the violent attacks of political
dyspepsia from which our friend
the Oppositionist suffers.
There is a cure for all these dys-
peptic and financial woes which
rankle within his soul, but he
won't accept it. He might cooper
ate with the Government officers
and assist by honest thought and
action in dealing with the vital
problems of the present day. But
he won't. He might play the part
of an honest politician. But he
won't. He might take plenty of
healthy political exercise. But he
won't. Political misery and finan-
cial gloom he is determined to seek
and as this is a free country he
will probably continue to revel in
