THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY.
Tho Venerable Building That Marks tho
birthplace OF Christ.

We return in time to see the process
sion of bishops, priests and people tina,
is forming in the square in front of the
church. Each is dressed in his most
gorgeous robes. Turkish soldiers line
both sides of the street to keep the way
open for the procession to pass. The
Latin patriarch OF Jerusalem has just
arrived. The procession of priests, car
rying banners and immense candles,
meets him, then turns, and all go into
the Latin chapel through the main
entrance. Following. we are surprised
TO find the main entrance so small. 1t
can admit but one at time, and that
one must stoop to enter. From the ma
sonry il can be seen that the entrance
was once much larger. The reason for
the change was that the Mohamme-
dams at one time did all in their power
to in lure and annoy the Christians, and
even used to ride on horseback into the
very church The door there fore was
made small to protect the church from
this sacrilege.
Once inside, we see we are in very
ancient structure. Part of the masonry
dates from the time of Constantine.
who built n magnificent basilica on
this site, about the year $50 of our era.
All we can see of the oldest work, how
ever, probably dates from not later
than Justinian's time, about $50 A. ID.
In any case, the church is n venerable
building, and it hns witnessed some
stirring scenes. In ii Baldwin the
Crusader was crowned king of Jerusa-
lem. II has been repaired number OF
times; and once, when it needed new
roof. King Edward ". of England gave
| the lead to make one. This was about
| the year 14S2. The lead roof did good
service for about 200 years. and might
have lasted much longer had not the
| Mohammedans melted it up to make
bullets. However, another roof was
soon provided.
: Inside, the building consists OF n
nave and double aisles. The aisles are
separated by two rows of columns
:. made of red limestone. These columns
rchavc plain bases. and are surmonnted
by Corinthian capitals. They are 10
, fleet high. and at the top Of each cross
lis engraved. The church is now owned

TRULY AMERICAN.
Profession should Be the watchword OF
the Republican Party.


One of the most whimsical features
of the present political situation is the
determined effort that is being made to
persuade the republican party, that nc
matter what else il does, it must aban.
don protection. 1t is commended that
adherence to that policy would be an
affront to gold democrats who made
such manful stand. for honest money
during the recent campaign and assist
ed materially in bringing about the
election of the republican presidential
candidates.
The Journal has already discussed
the attitude of gold democrats, and ex-
pressed the opinion that gold demo-
Gratis, who supported Mr.. Mckinley,
have given no indication that they ex-
pect or ever hoped that their support of
the republican candidate would induce
his party to abandon one of the cardinal
points of it's creed
Nor will it. If one thing is clearly
understood, it is that the American peo-
pie at the present time are clearly and
firmly committed to the theory of pro-
lection. The experience Of the country
since 1899 with even modified free trade,
has been sufficient. Under the most adj
vontageous circumstances the demo-
cratic party was permitted to try it's
experiment. 1t began while the country
was enjoying unprecedented prosperi-
ty. If ever there was n chance to de-
monstrate the beneficence of the So
called tariff reform" policy that was
the time.
But instead of prosperity there was
immediate prostration of the material
interests of the land. Business went to
pieces; mills and factories were closed;
the army of the unemployed grew to
alarming proportions; great strikes
broke out in various parts of the coun-
try, and generally a disturbed condition
OF affairs was brought about which bore
heavily on rich and poor alike.
The spirit of discomfort grew and
crystalized in political demands which
threatened the very perpetuity Of the
republic. Under our form of govern
ment popular discomfort is certain to
take alarming shapes, and we have seen
it conclusively demonstrated that moth |
ing is SO provocative OF popular discon-
tent as governmental policies which
take work and bread from Americans
to give them to workmen in other lands
who are ready to work for less than
receive.
The essence. the vital spirit of the re-
publican policy of protection proposes to
look first after the interests and welfare
o. the American workman. and then,
If there is anything left to give ii to
the foreigner. Bnt America for Amer
leans, ard American interests first.
These considerations effcctually dis
pose of all thought of the abandonment
Of Che American policy of protection.
II will not be abandoned, but on the con-
trary. it will be strengthened whenever
additional strength is needed.-Albany

The Mud Die. OF Londoner..

There is nothing like dealing with

about half pound of mud to each per-

TO assume that each half-pound of mud
does not contain more than two ounces
OF solid matter, probably much less.

never seen there before. For several
days after this the girl did not appear,
and Tremayne was beginning to hope
that he might never meet her again.
How long would his resolution last
should he feel her dear presence near
him he did not know, nor dare to
think.
One day she came back, but not alone.
A man was with her whom she intro
duced as her brother, a celebrated oeu-
list. Then after a few commonplace
remarks she wandered off leaving the
two men alone. The oculist examined
Tremayne's eyes and told him that if
he would submit himself to an opera
tion his sight could be restored. For a
moment Tremayne felt sick and giddy,
a thousand thoughts swept through his
brain.
To see again, oh, heavens, to be as
other men were; to see the blue sky
the green trees, the silver water, the
whole bright, beautiful world and then,
this thought was sweeter than all the
rest, to be able to look at
her dearly beloved face, the
face he had never seen, but which he
had pictured to himself a thousand
times day, and which he had idealized
until it had become more beautiful
than any other and as he was hesitat
ing the sweet low voice he knew so
well whispered in his ear, For my
sake and he hesitated no longer, but
placed his hand in that Of her brother
as a token of consent.
One week later the hermits hut on the
mountain was deserted and Tremayne
and Louis had taken quarters in the
big hotel. There he lived a very quiet
life, seeing only his servant, the oculist
and his sister, for the edict had gone
forth that no excitement must reach
him. At the end of the week the opera
ton was performed, and Tremayne felt
himself gradually sinking into a slum-
ber holding his dear ones hand. When
he came to he was in bed with band
age over his eyes. Her voice was the
first to reach his ears and with her
name upon his lips he smiled and fell
asleep.
Every day after this he knew that
she was near him, that she was taking
care of him and he was happy and
wished that this pleasant existence
could go on forever. Then one day the
oculist came and told him it was time
to remove the bandage and asked if he
was ready. Tremayne signified his con-
sent, and slowly and carefully it was
removed, when the light fell upon him
he blinked vaguely, then full realiza-
ton came upon him and with a great
cry he looked with all his eyes at his
loved one who was bending over him
dropping happy tears of joy and thank
fulness upon him
One month later Ivan sat on the hotel
piazza. The guests had nearly all de-
parted and only a few still fingered.
He was not alone, but beside him sat
one whom he loved more dearly day by
day A silence had fallen between
them, broken at last by the girl who said
that she and her brother would be leav-
ing the next day.
Ivan did not instantly reply, but
when he turned toward her the look in
his eyes made her blush and cast her
own down. Taking possession of the
little soft white hand he whispered
tenderly: May I go with you, dar-
Iing?" and the answer he received was
perfectly satisfactory.

To combat this growing evil, Pro-
fessor Edward E. Phelps, M. D. LII. d,
of Dartmouth College, made nervous
diseases his special study The fruitful
outcome of his long years of profess

but that they worked better and felt

shattered portions. There is not tha

From childhood to old age health is
very much a matter of sound, refresh
ing sleep.
No one can digest well, work well, feel
well, or be well, who is night after night
deprived of good sleep. 1t is physically
impossible for any brain to keep on pro-
viding nervous energy unless the nights
are devoted to nourishing it's used-up
parts. Protracted sleeplessness, where
no effort is made to feed and calm the
irritable nervous system, ends in ner-
yous prostration and insanity.
To-day there are far more neuralgia
headaches, far more rheumatism, sleep
lessness and nervous prostration than
during the last generation.
