Christmas Advice to Women.

The birth of Christ is the greatest fact
in the history of the human race. 1t
has dignified poverty honored childhood
and glorifed motherhood. 1t made the
whole atmosphere tremulous with angelic
song, and it still makes the song of peace
and good will the ideal anthem of hui
mainly. Women owe much to Jesus
Christ, and woman will most bless the
home and the world as she most fully
possesses and diffuses the spirit of this
first and only celestial song.
Let women keep out of the shops to a
greater extent than heretofore and stop
pricing goods that they have not the
slightest intention of buying, and thereby
avoid wearying needlessly overworked
statesmen and salesWomen. Let them other
wise put the Golden Rule into Christmas
tide and give as little labor and as much
JOY as possible to those around them.
The question seems to me somewhat
too general to answer to any good pur-
pose. But there are two things, it occurs
to me to say, that women, of means and
leisure more especially, ought to do at
Christmas. In the first place they ought
to show some kindly care for those who
have none to care for them. And, sec
ondly, they ought to bear witness against
the costly and foolish custom of giving
presents ito large miscellaneous circles
of friends, which presents become lumber
in houses in very short time as a rule

GENEALOGICAL SEARCHERs.
They Spend Hours in the Libraries Trac-

They Spend Hours in the Libraries Trac-
 ing the Family Tree.
 The attendance in the public libraries are kept busy these days by horde of callers who have suddenly developed a mania for genealogical research. In fact, says the New York Herald, it seems to have become a fad to trace the family tree. The cause of it is not easily ex- plainable. It is possible, however, that circulars calling for heirs to large for tunes, scattered broadcast by many law yers throughout the country, may be re- sponsible for this fad.
 The seekers look carefully through the old books, records and histories. and every little clew found therein is coveted with avidity. There have been rare cases where some startling and i'm portant clew has been found, but they are few and far between.
 One of the library attendants told me that many of the genealogical callers were young men, who think a good family tree may help them along in the world, as he expressed it. However that may be, the fad, if it is really fad, is by no means fippant, as. it opens the avenue to much interesting and useful informa ton, and instructs the searcher, even if his own wish for family informa- tion is not gratifed.

The death of Janet Livingstone, younger sister of the explorer, recalls story concerning the future doctors father. One day David brought home the news that heavy duty was to be put on tobacco. Neil Livingstone-who was not rich man-was just lighting his pipe as the news was broken. He put it down unlit.

 grand achievements it has been the mission of
 our country to ennoble and dignity labor, and
 no people of our republic more fully sym.
 pathize with the hopes and aspirations of the
 workingmen than the people of our territory.

 Governor of the Territory of Arlzona, by virtue
 of the power and authority in me vested. do
 hereby proclaim Monday, the seventh day of September. A. D., 1896. holiday, and do

sick for the past few days, came
out today and reports that he Is
ready for business again. Mr..
Floyd is lumbermau and has many
customers in Kansas, A letter
from one of his yard men in tn at
state, tells him that the bottom has
dropped out of business in the lum-
ber line, as the farmers can get
only II cents bushel tor corn, and
are retailing their Irish potatoes
at 5 cents per peck and a dull mar
ket at that. Mr.. Floyd thinks free
and unlimited coinage of silver, at
the ratio OF 16 to l, will be the only
thing that will restore prices and
bring back confidence in the people.
Let us all vote for free silver then,
and restore the prices.
