DO YOU KNOW SAINT VALENTINE.
He Thought of You 1 500 Years Ago,
and Left a Legacy for You.

He Thought of You 1,SOO Years Ago.
and Left a Legacy for You.
Do you know who Saint Valentine was
and how his name came to be perpetual
through the ages?
Or did you not know that there was a
Saint Valentine at all? And did you sup
pose that the valentine of commerce
was only Sporadic growth, ready to die
when custom tired of it?
Valentines originated with the saint af
ter whom they were named. They began
nearly $500 years ago. when Saint VAL
entine was alive, and have continued ever
since, taking different forms in the diff
ferent ages.
Valentine was a priest in the days of
the Emperor Claudlus He. was a good.
kind priest and treated the common people
with much consideration. Above all. he
was gentle to them when they came TO
him about matters of the heart, and more
than once he brought together couples
estranged by harsh word. In this way
Valentine came to be greatly loved.
In those days the Emperor was lord Of
all, and little did he like it when others
became favorites of the people Conse-
qucntly Claudius, when he saw Valentine
walk through the streets with a crowd of
people following and praising him. be-
came very jealous. and sent word to the
priest that he must leave the city Of
Rome.
But Valentine had no intention of 60
ing. He meant to stay and work there as
long as the Lord spared. him, and when
he prayed nightly to his God in the heav-
ems he prayed for the people who suf-
fered so much from the oppression of the
Emperor.
And so the popularity Of Valentine grew.
When Claudius saw that his command
had no effect except to make the peop,e
like the priest the more. he determined 10
do away with him. He ordered him to
be put to death. and one fine day, wren

9:9-l7. Read the whole chapter. Gold
en- Text-"Follow Me-" Matt. go
Levi Matthew sat at his place of bust
ness collecting tolls. He was a tax col
lector and custom house officer, the low
est of his class, because he made the col
lections in person instead of employing
substitute. Matthew, whose name like
Theodore means gift of God" was a bad
man, having power to collect more than
was due, he made himself rich by robbing
the poor. AS he sat by the seaside, he had
seen the Great Physician healing the sick
and had heard the gracious words pro-
ceeding out of his mouth He, the bad re-
ceiver, had fallen In love with the Good
Giver; but what hope was there of join
ing him, for how can evil unite with good?
He knew that he was lost but had not
yea heard Jesus say, THE Son of man is
come to seek and to save that which
was lost"
He we'll knew that he was far from
righteous, but did not know what Jesus
soon told him, Il desire mercy and not
sacrifice; for l came not 10 call the right
eous, but sinners. Matthew knew he was
in debt of obedience to the possessor of
heaven and earth,' and that no repent
ance or reform could pay the debt, any
more than ceasing to buy on credit could
pay an old store bill. He knew that the
only hope was the Son of man having pow
er on earth to forgive sins; but what
would Jesus do for him, the despised sin
ner, "a thief, an outcast?
Such may have been Matthew's condi-
ton as he looked on Jesus. And when
He, who searches all hearts, spoke to him
the words of the Golden Text in the first
verse of our lesson, as He has spoken to
every conscious sinner, follow me-" how
joyfully Matthew obeyed the call,
turning his back forever on his money
tables, she left all, rose up and followed
Him." And Levi made him a great
feast in his own house." and when the
company complained that Jesus ate with
sinners, how Matthew's heart must have
bounded with joy at Jesus answer that
He came into the world for the very pur-
pose of associating with sinners; that He
might save every willing one of them from
the power as well as the punishment of
their sins.
Some people are too righteous in their
own eyes to be saved by the only Savior;
and how strange that conscious sinners
also are sometimes not willing to be saved
by the only One who has power, who
has said: Look unto Me- and, be We
saved, all the ends of the earth; for L am
God and there is none else"

DOG LAWS IN NORWAY.
To Avoid Rabies They Demand Ger
fIncate of Health.

We do not believe that the country
will ever be free from rabies until far
more stringent measures have been
adopted. The danger arises mainly
from stray ours of uncertain owner
ship, and from dogs which. although
they might he claimed by somebody.
are not properly cared for by their
proprietors. We should like to see the
dog taX increased in amount, with due
Indulgence to persons who require dogs,
for the issue of receipts in the form of
collar badges, the color of which might
be varied every year, and which would
enable Il policeman to see at a glance
whether the tax for any particular dog
had been paid. If il had not, the dog
should be summGriiy destroyed. BY
the strict enforcement of such a sys.
TEN we should obtain n state of things
analogous to that which exists in Nor
way, where not only rabies is unknown,
but where the dogs seen in the street
are handsome, well-bred, and we'll
cared-for animals, not sufficiently nu-
merous to be the nuisance they often
are in London. The Norwegians adopt
very stringent precautions with regard
to dogs imported into their territory,
insisting upon ample certification Of
health, and also, we believe, upon pc
Rod of quarantine; and. even in that
most democratic country, we have never
heard that the control of canine hygiene
is vested in local authorities, which
would be liable, in this matter, as in
many others, TO oscillate between I'M
reasoning indulgence and unreasoning
panic.-I.ondon Hospital.

NEW YEARS IN RUSSIA.

New Years customs in Russia are in
teresting. In the morning the princes
of the imperial family, personages of
the court, functionaries of the capital,
and servants of the palace come in reg.
ular order to present their bomages and
good wishes to the emperor, who kisses
all the members of his family, and all
the high officials three times, according
to the Russian fashion.
The festivities commence on the 21st
of December, and are ended on the 9th
of January. During these two weeks
the young people gather together to
play games and to dance. On New
Years day, at breakfast. dinner and
supper. the guests, standing around
the table, touch glasses, drink the
health of the emperor, and offer good
wishes to each other.
Masters give presents to their serv-
ants, but don't give presents to each
other, as they do on Christmas. On
Christmas day, in all the families, the
table is set with profusion. and hos
pitality is offered to everybody. II
high society they drink champagne,
while the common people drink brandy.
Al this time, also, they devote them
selves to augural practices. They
throw melted lead into water, and from
the figures formed by the suddenly
cooled metal they endeavor to make
horoscopes The young girls try to
learn whether they will be married,
and to know something of the face. the
qualities and the fortune Of their flu
ture husbands. At midnight they sit
down between two mirrors by the side
Of which two candles are placed. They
look into one mirror and into the other
until they can see 10 lights. In this way
some of the girls fancy they see in the
mirror the image of their fiance, and
that gives them hope.

DANCED WITH THE INDIANS
How q Valuable Right of Way for .
Railroad Was secured from
the Apnches.

In 1895 the Ola Valley, Globe & North
ern Railway company obtained from
Washington the franchise for road
through the reservation, subject to the
approval of the Indians. This proposed
line is to run from Geronimo to Globe,
a distance of 60 miles, and is TO be prac-
tically an extension of the 65 miles of
road that connect Geronimo with the
Southern Pacific station at Bowie.
A large area of mineral and coal land
is to be opened up by the new line.
Since congress granted the conditional
franchise agents have been at work
among the Indians, but arbitrary re-
fusal was given until the general coun-
Gil was called at San Carlos. Fully 1900
Apaches were present, and the enter
tainment of them was the first item of
cost in the railroad construction &C.
count. A feast and council was pro-
posed. and invitations were sent by
means of runners to all parts of the In
dian domain.
There were Indians who had burned
slain and tortured just out of natural
depravity dancing about on the same
floor with capitalists from Chicago and
San Francisco, soldiers, ladies, frontier
men, miners and couple of globe trot-
ters. Everyone had to dance. The Ell.
quette was explained to all, and it was
made evident that if they chose to be
present and take part they must OBJ
serve all the demands of the occasion
for refusal might imperil the lives OF
all. The dance was accordingly very
democratic. Whoever the Indians asked
to dance with them responded with q
similar assent.
On the following day solemn confer.
ence was held at which the valuable
right of way was obtained from the In.
dams on favorable terms.
