progress at Pentepigada since morning. The
result is not known here. The Greek troops
occupied stronger positions in the pass. An
other engagement took place this morning at
Plaka the result of which is not yet known,
since the enemy maintains his position, though
the Greek artillery have inflicted great damage
at the villages of Kalentzi and Fortosi, where
the Turks were concentrated. The Turks left
the route from Pentepigada to Janina open.
The Greek cavalry reconnoitred without en-
countering the enemy until about eight hours
ride from Pentepgadia. when they met 800
Turks who fired upon the Greeks, though
without effect

AT CHRISTMAS-TIME.

At ChristmaS-time last year,
SO many friends that now are gone were
here
So many hopes were glowing then un,
spoken;
So many faiths were strong that now lie
broken,
And loving hearts that trusted without
fear
At Chrstmas-time last year.
At ChriSmas-time this year,
So many of us find the world drcar
And barren desert, wherein blooms no
rose,
With mountain peaks surrounding it.
whose SHOWS
Have chilled our hearts and turned life S
foliage sere-
At ChristmaS.time this year.
AT Christmas-tme next year.
Who knows what changing fortune NAV
bring near?
Take courage then our night shall turn

From bright ming skies the clouds must
roll away,
And faith, and love, and hope, shall all
be here
At ChriStmaS-time next year.

How Worry Affects the Brain.

Modern science has brought to light
nothing more curiously interesting
than the fact that worry will kill
More remarkable still, it has been
able to determine, from recent dis.
coveries, just how worry does kill.
1t is believed by many scientists
who have followed most carefully
the growth Of the science of brain
disease, that scores Of the deaths set
down to other causes are due to
worry, and that alone. The theory
is simple one-SO simple that any
one can readily understand it,
Briefly put, it amounts to this
Worry Injuries beyond repair certain
cells Of the brain; and the brain be-
ing the nutritive center of the body,
the other organs become gradually
injured, and when some disease of
these organs, or n combination of
them, arises, death finally ensues.
Thus does worry kill. Insidiously,
like many other diseases, it creeps
upon the brain in the form of n sim
gle, constant, ncver-lost idea; and,
as the dropping of water over pc
riod Of years will wear groove i'm
stone, so does worry gradually, Inn
peTceptibly, but no less surely, de-
stroy the brain cells that lead all the
rest-that are, so to speak, the COM
manding officers of mental power,
health and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger, is an irritant at certain
points, which produces little harm if
1t comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worrying of the system
the brain can cope with, but the itera-
ton and reiteration of one idea of a
disquieting sort the cells of the brain
are not proof against. 1t is as if the
skull were laid bare and the surface
OF the brain struck lightly with a
hammer every few seconds, with n.2-
chanical precision, with never a sign
OF let-up or the failure of stroke.
Just in this way does the annoying
idea, the madden;ng thought that
will not be done away with, strike
or fall upon certain nerve cells, never
ceasing, aud week by week dimin-
lshing the vitality of these delicate
organisms that are SO minute ihat
they can only be seen under tie mi
croscope.-Phdrnaceutical Journal.

The Moral OF Gift-Giying,

AS the Christmas season ap-
proaches there is scarcely a family
that has not had its thoughts turned
to gift.giving. a beautiful custom
that has grown up about the season
when there is "peace on earth, good
Will to men," AS mere custom it
might be "more honored in the
breach than in the observance" but
it is something more than a custom
to most people, having its origin in
the real feelings inspired by the sea-
son,
In one view of the matter it might
seem absurd that men should at any
particular season of the year, even
In commemoration Of the greatest of
all events in the worlds history, ex-
hibit the sentiments which should
control their actions throughout the
year, but it is blessing that even
for such short time selfishness
should be disregarded and the whole
Christian world unite in giving prac-
tical expression to the faith that is
in them.
But ft.giving should not be per-
functory, or rest entirely upon Gus
tom or the fashion of the day. 1t
should be inspired by the sentiment
of the season, and be prompted by a
hearty good will. 1t will then take
an appropriate form.
The thought of the giver will be
directed not to the qualification of
his own desire for display, but to the
satisfaction of the relative or friend
who is to be the beneficiary of his
bounty. His gift will express in it,
self the kindly feeling which is be-
hind it, not the mere liberality of
the giver. The poorest and humb.
lest, if guided by true sentiment, can
offer gifts to relatives and friends as
acceptable as those which the richest
in the land may present. The senti-
ment counts for more than the value
of the gift in dollars and cents.
The true Christmas sentiment is
good will, and it is expressed by
consideration. There IS an abun-
dance of Chistmas sentiment in the
thought and labor required to pre-
pare an appropriate present, which
shall be exactly suited to the wants
or the tastes of the recipient.
Such gift is designed not for the
qualification of the giver, nor be-
cause of an existing custom, but out
OF the love the giver has for the per-
son he has tried to please. 1t is an
expression of love, and as such has a
value that cannot be expressed in
terms of dollars and cenis. 1t may
be costly, or it may he humble and
unpretentious; the sentiment gives
1t value or increases that which it
has in itself,
One who merely follows custom
may eXpend thousands without hav-
ing spark of the Christmas spirit.
On the other hand, one may brighten
many homes with the light of Chris
tan charity by the giving of few
dollars. Dickens has ably expressed
the thought and sentiment of the
Christmas season in somo of his
shorter stories.
Those who are not familiar with
the Christmas Carol should read or
reread it about this time. 1t will
serve AZ true guide to the senti-
ment which should govern gift.giv.
ing, sentiment that is sure to grow
upon us all during the next two
weeks Baltimore San.

POETRY.
CHRISTMAS.

once more the circling months come
The birds have flown from bush and
tree
The vanished summer leaves no sound
10 hint of her stilled minstrelsy.
With darkened skies and meadows bare
-, And winters chilling blasts begun,
To-day we think what glories rare
The seasons brought from sun to
sun
What fruits are in the cellars bin.
what wealth the mows and granaries
hold
what radiant cheer prevails within,
And cracking fires keep out the cold.
Then heap the board where JOY has
Let sorrow sleep-be banished fear.
Where doubtful feet began the race
They end one more triumphant wear.
Not ours alone is all this gain
The harvests we have safe in store
Should help us soothe some neighbor> s
pain,
And spread kind gifts to hunger s
door.
The bounteous hand that spreads our
feast,
Which sent the rain, sunshine. too.
Makes all our blessings twice increased
by every generous deed we do.
so, when our table grOanS t~-day,
ana happy hearts are gathered there,
Let's lind some tears to wipe away,
Some welcome gifts that we can spare.

WATCHED AS WELL AS PRAYED
Parson Adams, minister in Lunen.
burg for over thirty-five years, al
one time stopped to pass the nj ght
at friends house. The clergyman
was both tired and hungry. 1t was
proposed to have prayers at once,
and the supper, after which the
minister could go directly to his bed
10 this he agreed, and the family
were called together. The supper was
to consist mainly Of Indian cakes,
which were set to bake on platters
in front of the fire. The parsons
seat was opposite the kitchen door.
The service began, but in a moment
Parson Adams saw that one of the
cakes had fallen down and was !. ~.

of any culinary crisis.

The cake was rescued, and Parson

VESSELS UNDERNEATH THE SEA.
a hollow vessel, formed of metal
or any other substance, and her
metically sealed, can be made to
Aoat under the water n given dis
tance without sinking to the bottom.
Copper, for EXAMPLE, is nearly nine
times as heavy as water. a cubic
foot of copper made in hollow,
tight vessel of nine cubic feet
capacity, would just float. BY max
ing it slightly smaller it would float
at some depth below the surface.
Careful measurements and exact CAL
culations would be necessary to float
such vessel at a required depth.
A torpedo boat capable of carrying
six persons and remaining num-
ber of hours under water was con-
structed during the late war, and one
of the plans to release Napoleon from
st. Helena contemplated the use of
vessel that could be used close to
the island under the water.
THERE is great ability in knowing
how to conceal ones ability.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE TOAD.
The toad lives ten to forty years, does
not begin to produce young until the
fourth year, bat then lays over one
thousand eggs year. 1t has lived
two years without food, but cannot
live long under water. 1t never
takes dead or motionless food. 1t
takes its food by means of its tongue
alone, and it operates this so rapidly
that the eye cannot follow it's motion.
1t captures and devours bees, wasps,
yellow jackets, ants, beetles, worms,
spiders, snails, bugs, grasshoppers,
crickets, weevils, caterpillars, moths.
etc.
The stomach that doesn't finch at
yellow jackets, wasps, blister beetles
and click-beetles or pinch bugs
would seem to be prepared for any
thing in the insect line, and it is
doubtless is. In tWenty-fUur hours
the toad consumes enough food to
fill its stomach four times. a single
toad will in three months devOur
over ten thousand insects. If every
ten ofthese would have done one cent
damage the toad has saved ten
dollars. Evidently the toad is a
valuable friend to the farmer, gar
dener and fruit grower, and can be
made especially useful in the green
house, garden and berry patch.
