higher realm where imagination rules. One of these never dying, never failing things is Santa Claus, and year by year the weeks over which his scepter is ex- tended are weeks of rare beauty. and a time when good will everywhere shines in mems countenances and is the handspring of their lives
 Children see and feel this wonderful festival of love on the earth, but they cannot enter into it fully, and so those who were wiser than we in good old days fragrant in memory, christened the Christmas season, when the yule log burns and the holly gleams and the world is glad, as the special gala time of Santa Claus. Believe in him all you can and as long as you can and he will give you blessings heaped up and run ming over to pay you for your faith.

travagance of nature in June. It is the children's carnival, the midsum- mer of charity to the poor, the spring tide Of good will to men; when the Christmas tree groans all radiant and fruitful as no other tree does which blooms through the year, for it bears at least twelve manner of fruit and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations
 l would not therefore insult Christ mas by undertaking it. The man who does most for his fellow men, accord ing to his means, does best. We can give the tramp who comes to our back door a royal cup of coffee on Christmas morning with good grace, even though we nave to see that he does not run off with the spoon. They are wide pages the angel opens in the Book of Life on Christmas, and when we do our best we cannot do it quicker than he can write it down.
 Still l think it not hard to see how we may spare, even at the Christmas tide, and yet do more and better than if We spend. If man spends the money he ought to save to pay his debts, when he knows very well he can only pay his debts by saving, he may give what he buys right and left with an open hand. and 1t will be to his own shame. There are millions Of dollars spent every Christmas of other mems money. Not penny ought to be laid out in gifts one can well let alone. Men who do that get drunk on their own generosity. though they never taste of wine; and IT they are men of conscience the headache ands heartache of getting sober will be none the less for their motive for getting drunk. We should never spend when we ought to spare. especially if we have families.

~ TILL another earnest effort to ap-
 proach the south pole is about to
 be made by Dr. Erich von Drygal- N ski, a young German savant, who
 is about to start with thorough ly equipped expedition for the southern extremity of the earth.
 According to the Moderne Kunst, pr. Drygalski is convinced that the south pole itself cannot be reached by human beings, the obstacles in the icy waters of the south being much greater than those of the north. He is positive, how ever, that he will learn great deal about the secrets of the Antarctic Ocean, and will penetrate it far enough to find the continent which some geographers believe to be there.
 For any positive knowledge about this mysterious polar region science is indebted to the English in the first place and later to researches made by Frenchmen Russians and Norwegians.
 The most successful southern expedi- tion thus far was conducted by John Ross, an Englishman, who, during the years 1S40-1S43, made three trips through those dangerous waters and forced his way as far as 7S degrees south, and discovered the two famous volcanoes, Erebus and Terror, which, like wonders of Fairyland, loom up in the rigid icy desert.
 This was the farthest point south ever reached by human beings. The more favorable conditions in the north have permitted the reaching of a higher point there.
 Dr. Drygalskis chief aim is to gain additional knowledge of the earth's magnetism, then to learn about ice for nations and drifts in the south mete- orological apparitions and the geology of the polar world.
 Dr. Drygalski made himself famous as leader of the Greenland expedition conducted by the Berlin Society in 1892 and 1893 when he contributed much to the science of Arctic geology. He is only thirty-two years old and has the world before him, but seems intent upon reaching the farthest corner of the earth.

The British Weekly ought to have given the name of that American ed- itor who. it says, was invited by a New York heiress of a literary turn to hear extracts from her manuscript novel. Unfortunately he had been up till a. m., and the delightful musical con- tralto of his hostess soothed his rasped nerves sc that he had difficulty in keeping his head from dropping for ward. Presently he came to himself with a start, and found himself quite alone. An electric light was burning in the hall, and he hurried out to look at his watch. It was 12:30; he had been sleeping three and a half hours He went softly and humbly down the stairs, and the butler let him out with out word or smile. Since that day, though he wrote a letter of apology, he has received no communication from the heireSS

When we look at the almost incom-
prehensible variety oi structures, mental
aud physical, OF winch the human race is
composed, we are astonished at the num-
.berIess and wide individual differences
among them. And we marvel that out
of those very differences come such perfect
adaptation and uniformity to society.
