Nature, whose origin is shrouded in
the Cimmerian gloom of the North,
and in the myths of remotest an
tiquity. They observe their close re-
lations, not to the Saturnalis of Rome
alone, but to the Egyptian Pamylia,
the Becchic and Dionysian orgies of
the Greeks, the obscene festivals of
India, Mesopotamia, and South
America, and to the other religious
mysteries in those and all the rest of
the world where Nature-worship has
been symbolished and corrupted by
priestcraft, and its pure stream di-
verted into impure channels. This
trading in mankind's best emotions
and subordinating worship to gain or
power, has slain in succession all the
religions of the past just as it will
destroy those of the present. 1t may
be that in the cycle of religious evolu-
ton the time will come when man.
kind will reach the point whence they
started, and their hearts will be again
filled with love and reverence for all
nature of the sure and universal
manifestation of God to man.
Let us endeavor, then, to make the
best use of Christmas, whatever its
historical shortcomings, and to join
in the general spirit of love and good
will. All periods that knit the hearts
of man more closely together, are
most worthy of human observance.
Let the tables smoke with festive
cheer, and hall and cottage ring with
joyous greetings, and prove to the
world that England is merry England
still. The absent will return to glad
den those at home, and the dead will
be lovingly remembered. For those
who cannot be present, whom neces-
sity or distance has parted from us,
there will be kindly messages, even to
the ends of the earth, borne by the
swift mail or the swifter telegraph.
Let us rejoice that it is not in the
power of time or space to sever us
from those we love, and that though
they may be toiling through the de-
files of the Khyber Pass, or broiling
under an Indian or African sun, or
living lonely lives in Canada or Amer
lea, in Australasia, or any of the num-
berless colonies where British iudus-
try adds empire to empire, yet their
places will not be forgotten on Christ
mas day, but affection will make the
absent present. Above all, on this
day beyond every other, let the poor
and the outcast be amply provided
for, that they may partake of the gen.
eral rejoicing, and if all the remaining
days of their years be wretched, let
them be happy on this, the day of
days, when as tradition tells, the
Prince OF Peace was born, to bring a
message of love from Heaven to
Earth.

The Secret Of Longevity.

Sir Isaac Holden, who died in his
ninty-first year, was neither teeto-
taller nor a nonsmoker. Sir Isaac was
man with theories. According to
him, the two great essentials for those
who would live long and be healthy
are plenty of fresh air and plenty of
fruit. His rule was never, if he could
help it, to spend less than two hours o
day in the open air. When he entered
his first situation, he said to his en-
ployer that he wonld be glad to have
an hour daily in the afternoon for a
walk. If granted, he would not ask
for any holiday, or would make up
otherwise for the time so spent. This
was agreed to. Sir Isaac took his walk
daily, and to this, he used to say, he
owed both health and fortune.
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty of fruit, Sir Isaac
was not a vegetarian. 1t was not
meat, but bread, from which he alb
stained. Like Wesley, whose" Natural
Philosophy" he studied when boy, he
saw in farinaceous food thing to be
avoided by the elderly. al take for
my breakfast" he said a few years
ago, "a baked apple, an orange, 20
grapes and a biscuit made from
bananas. My midday meal consists of
about three ounces of beef or mutton,
with now and again a half cupful of
soup. If l take little fish, take so
much less of meat. For supper I
practically repeat my breakfast menu"
The orange was his favorate fruit.
Wine he eschewed, but on returning
from the house of commons to Queen
Anne's mansions he had tumbler of
whiskey and hot water before going to
bed. He took no drink with his food,
and this obliged him to masticate we'll.
He smoked two or three cigars day,
from which he used to say that he
derived both comfort and benefit.

NORTHERN NUGGETS.
Seattle Review.


a Chicago mining company is build
ing an immense dredger to be used on
the Yukon.
Fourteen thousand claims have
been located up to date in the Klon-
dixie mining district.
Two wealthy Englishmen have con-
tracted with Montana parties for 600
head of horses for fast stage line
from Edmonton. N. w. T., to Dawson
City.
1t is generally believed among peo-
pie posted on the situation that wages
on the klOndike will be reduced to
vs. per day next season. This rate is
said to be no better than $l.5O a day
on the Sound.
II. A. Ferguson, of Tacoma, is one
the men who have struck it rich in
the Klondike this season. He will
bring out $4,000 in gold dust this
fall, and is the owner of property val
ued at 100000.
The schooner Bering Sea, which will
reach the Sound some time in January
from Prince William Sound, will
bring down a cargo of some 400 or
or 800 native Alaskan dogs. 1t is be-
lieved these dogs will sell readily in
Seattle for from $50 to 800 per head.
Rev. DIR. Sheldon jackson, Superin.
tendent of Education in Alaska, ad-
vises all people in hurry to reach
the Klondike not to 60 by way of St.
Michaels. He says that navigation
on the Yukon does not open until
June, and parties going in that way
next Spring will not reach the gold
fields in time to do prospecting next
year.
Under the present laws in force in
the Northwest Territory miner can
locate a claim 500 by 600 feet in each
district upon the payment of Sl5 when
first filing. Three months of continu.
Gus work, and the holder must re-
main on the ground all the time,
must be performed during the year,
when, upon the payment of 500, a
final certificate of ownership will be
issued. Before filing the holder must
swear that he has prospected the
claim and found gold.
The Cramps, of Philadelphia, are
constructing some boats of novel de-
sign to be used on the Yukon in con-
nection with their Seattle line. These
boats are built of iron and in sections
SO that each section can be detached
and will float by ITSELF In the event
of the boats running upon ice or any
other obstacle the section thus held
can be unlocked by removing bolts
and then removed without endanger.
ing the lives of those on board. These
boats will be capable of accommodate
ing 100 persons each, and there will
be six of them.

The murderers of Martin Begnaud, of
Scott, Lafayette parish, are at last
known. Two individuals, one Of whom
is l.. BaIIip, we're indicted and are
awaiting trial for this murder, and
would undoubtedly nave been convicted
had there not been /. ploviicntiaI inter
ference to show their innocence.
1t seems that at the time BcyHaud was
murdered there wero two young Paris
ians living in the neigIibornooh, named
Ernest and Alexis Blanc. About one
week after the murder they left the To-
cality, and last week boil, returned and
took their former place on II farm near
10y. Snspecting that they We're accom-
pices in the crime, Sheriff Ike B,ous-
sard arrested them, and Oh being closely
questioned the eIdest-Ernes,--n d
full confession, telling how he and his
brother covered the deceased with their
pistols, boGnd him hand and foot, gag
ged him and laid him on his bed, when
they stabbed him fifty seven times in
the breast and neck and then robbed his
safe of $4,000. They lien left the place,
visited Europe, San Francisco, &., and
When their money gave ont returned to
the scene OF their crime. These mon
stess are 90 and 10 Yeas old, respect
lively. Their account of this atrocious
and gold bloodcd murder is positively
blood 0d-curdling, and shows tie most ap-
palling cruelty. They confessed that
the idea of committing crime was sug-
gested to them by reading "The Life
of Jesse James" and such books
