Blossom meath the snow,
Beautiful emblems Of Him who died

Coming amid the frost and cold
Breathe ye n tale as ye unfold
Ofthe rose of Sharon lovlier far:
Christ the bright and " morning star"
Cheering earth with light divine.
Peace and joy and love entwine
Making earth a Heaven below
As we strive His will To know.

Praise the loving Lord of all;

HAPPY HOUSEHOLD: Some time since, there
appeared in the Happy Household method for
warming joint; it was good, but the follow.
ing is. ia my opinion, better:
If any gravy remains, add hot water and
thicken with -four salt aud pepper to taste.
There should be enough of this sauce to fill the
dripping-pan to the depth Of at least half an
inch more is better.
Place the joint in the pan containing the
sauce and set in hot oven for 1Oor Is minutes.
when it should be turned over. As tue gravy
cooks away add more hot water.
When il has roasted for Is minutes, or an
hour il liked done. it will have nice crust, If
it has been turned 80 as to expose all sides to

why Cumberland Coal?

The Piedmont Smithing coal is becoming
celebrated i'll the West aud is now Il well
known trade mark. Some years since it
used to be called the Cumberland coal, but
for what reason we are unable to say as
there Is not a mine OF coal within eight miles
of that city, and we have both the coal and
mines within the limits OF our town and our
township. OF course there is the George 5
creek coal which is also correct but why call
1t the Cumberland coal ?-Picdmont IN,
GepcndcW.
y little boy was once asked why he was
called John. His reply was that he was
called John because his name was John.
The coal is called Cumberland coal because
that is its popular name. 1t is very natural
for it to be called Cumberland coal as Cum
berland is the only city in this coal region.
Don't be jealous, little Piedmont. Cumber-
land Times.
AuotherliItle boy was asked why his
brother was called Nebnchadnezza,
when his name was Dick. His reply
was:
Well all my brothers wuz named Sam
cept Joe, and his name wuz Dick, but we
alters called him Nebnchadnezzar for short
That little boys explanation was
just as clear as that given by the
Times.
1t was probably more truthful, too,
for if there Is one geographical fa3
known in this section above all other
facts it is that Cumberland is not Il

The House Of Delegates on Tuesday
recommitted the free school book bill
to the Committee ON Education after
1t had been favorably reported by the
Committee on Ways and Meas.
In reporting this action the An
napolls correspondent of the Bulti-
mo,e Nems says:
Many think the bill will hayc a hard time
now, as it is believed the lobbyists are at
work on it. 1t is we'll known that the
American Book Trust has agents here on one
side, and the Boston firm of CHM & Co. is
also represented, fighting the book trust.
There is said to be more money in this bool,
bill than i'll any other measure here.
Pass the bill then let one Of the
big cormorants get tight grip on the
schoo, authorities and it will next be
almost impossible to repeal the law.
Meanwhile, gentlemen, consider how
much the cause of popular education
will suffer from the inevitable scandal
