CHRISTMAS IN DOUGLAS.
What Would Eastern People Think IfThey Knew What A Jolly Good Time We Had.
 Christmas Trees And Programmes.

Two Christmas entertainments were given in this City last Saturday even ing. one at the Congregational and the other at the Friends church. Owing to the fact that the Bremen of this city had advertised an entertainment for Christmas evening, the churches con- cIuded to hold theirs on Saturday.
 It showed and stormed some during the day but about o'clock in the even ing the wind stopped blowing and from that time the weather was pleasant and agreeable.
 At The Friends Church.
 The Friends church is located in the northern part of the city and little after ! o'clock the News man entered the large double doors that lead into the new and beautiful church that was built this summer. This place of wor- ship is large enough, but not what one would call large church building, but what it lacks in size is made up in its arrangement and decorations. It is canvassed and beautifully papered, for the people do not Iath and plaster their houses in this country. Elder Rep logic and his excellent wife with the as sistance of some of the members, made a special effort to decorate and beauti- fy the interior for the occasion and it was not only the opinion of the writer, but of scores of others who observed it, that they never before saw Christmas church decorations that in beauty and symmetry exceLed those the Friends church in this city last SatuG ay even- ing. The strangest part of all l that the expense must have been trifihg for the evergreen taken from the woods, and a small amount of colored paper, some cotton batting and strings of popcorn was about all that was used to create the pleasing and most beautiful effect. There were two trees, one on either side and in front of the pulpit; these were joined at the top by evergreens and in the center between the two the ever green was attached to the ceiling under which hung a motto "Good Tidings", being letters covered with cotton in whichwere put something resembling silver bronze, giving them a silvery appearance. From the trees to the center of the side walls were hung chains made of colored paper Back of the pulpit in the right corner a large harp was hung on the wall while in the left, an anchor. From the trees to different places back of the pulpit were suspended numerous paper chains made of the same material as those be- fore mentioned. Strings of popcorn played an important part in the decora- tions and the fact is that our best eff, forts on paper will not begin to de- scribe the beauty of the decorations.
 It was the finest we ever saw.

MARRIAGES OF TODAY.

the Population.

There are fewer marriages in proper

lies are smaller they are less coher-

tbe marriage rate fell from 17.2 per
cent i'm 1901 to 1872 per cent in 1881
and from 1878 to 1SSS the ages of men
and women who married rose respect

al The rise in the number of di-
vorces. 1S60-1SS5, was universal.
In 1871 England and Wales show /
divorce to 1.020.4 marriages; in 1879. l
in 4s0S3. From 1867 TO 1886 divorces
in the United States increased 1871 per
cent, while the population increased 90
per cent One of the causes of change
is the whole modern movement of lib,
