| brotherly kindness flows Is the town
in which the love of Jesus lies as on this
day, Bethlehem, which means a house
of bread.
| The new sense of brotherhood which
comes into the world, the new sense Of
| obligation on the part Of the strong to
the weak, the rich to the poor. the
learned to the unlettered, finds it's origin
and strength in the incarnation of the
Son of God. 1t is the recognition Of
this great fact and doctrine which is
making SO many people think in new
way of their duty to their brethren. 1T
is this doctrine, emphasized anew, that
makes the new sense o. brotherhood.
There was time when the doctrine of
the atonement, the death Of Christ APP
peared to obscure all other doctrines.
Christians dwelt upon it constantly and
it made their religion sad and stern,
and kept them ever within the shadow
Of the cross. The thought of God as
requiring the sacrifice of Christ was
presented in bold and hard way and it
made hard thoughts Of God. 1t made
probation and judgment the great
truths about humon life. Man appear
ed to be thought of especially as the
subject of trial and Judgment. But
now the baalnce is in some measure re-
stored and the great truth of the conf
ing of the Son Of God is declared with
new emphasis. The great truths of
Gods fatherhood, mans sonshlp, human
brotherhood and obligation are assert
ed, and religion is taking on a gentler
character This is the right way to be-
gin in religion--man, the child of God,
having received the adoption OF a son,
Jesus Christ the elder brother, all mon
members o. one family in Christ. So
take my Christmas message, send your
thoughts back with all Christian REQ
pie to Bethlehem and see in the Holy
Child one who has come that you
might receive the adoption of a son;
that you might say Our Father" feel
ing that God is your father and all men

GUIDE POSTS OF THE BLIND.

A Sightless Man Tells How He Is
Helped to Make His Way About
There is blind man living In the
heart of the old quarter who walks
nearly every day to little restaurant
near Canal street. The distance each
way is from sixteen to twenty blocks,
according to his route, and to see him
eauntering carelessly along one would
never suspect his infrmity.
Talking yesterday with an inquisltive
reporter he declared that he saw with
his nose and feet, and this was the way
he explained 1t: when a man has
his sight" he said, "the smells of the
street are all mixed up, but when he's
blind he learns to separate them. The
smells OF the shops are almost as plain
to me now as the signs used to be over
the doors. Some Of them you would
hardly suppose to exist. Take a dry
goods store, for instance, 1t smells Of
cloth, and has a very peculiar odor

WHERE THE HEN EXCFIS.

There Is One Thing That No Incubator
Yet Devised Can DO.
The poultry show has come and gone.
With 1t have gone the incubators, but
though they have gone they have left
behind in the minds'of Worcester coun-
ty chicken raisers and farmers little
germs Of ideas, which may some day
materialize into what will be of decided
advantage to the chicken growing
world.
Not that the incubator is new in
Worcester or anywhere else, for II Is
not. 1T has been used for years by the
en- who raise chickens for the market
1t has been proved great money-saver.
A good incubator can turn out from
200 to $50 chickens per day. There are
no incubator unions; they work over
time, night and day in fact. without
extra pay; they are patient, uncom-
planning slaves who INCREASINGLY strive
TO improve on nature to the end thnt
their owners may grow rich on their
earnings.
But with all their advantages thew
have their failings, like all things made
Of man. Man. in his conceit and ignor
ance, has tried to make the incubator
do what the hen does, and do it bet
ter. To a degree he has succeeded; in
the main he has failed The incubator
can hatch more eggs than can a good
sized flock of hens, but it cannot do the
work as well.
The great number of deformed chick
ems which are to be found in the poul-
try farms to-day can be justly attrbut-,
ed to the incubator. Why it should be

BoER PRISONERS AT THE CAPE
How They Look, Act and Are Treated
on the Penelope

How They Look, Act and Are Treated
on the Penelope"
A representative of the Cape Times
gives some description of the life of the
Boer prisoners on board her majesty
| ship Penelope in simon's bay. As she
| swings at her anchors, close in shore
| there is certain element Of the pathet-
| ic about the Penelope. Her guns and
engines long since gone. and with just
the stumps of her three masts stand
ing it is almost difficult to imagine, de-
clares the writer, that this was the once
stout ironclad whose guns Numbered
forth destruction at the bombardment
of Alexandria. In that engagement,
however, the Penelope played fairly
conspicuous part, and to this day may
be seen the marks made by the guns of
the shore batteries on her hull, which up
to the waterline is now fairly covered
with marine growths,
Once having gained the deck Of the
vessel, a curious sight presents itself
At the stern floats the white ensign, and
on the fore and aft bridges a couple of
bluejackete walk backward and for
ward with shouldered rifles. The actual
deck, however, presents motley scene.
The prisoners and their friends stand
about In groups, absorbed In CONVERSE
ton. Those who have no friends
lounge about the decks smoking, others
again are theoretically playing quoits,
while others are busy purchasing tri-
fling luxuries-tobacco and SO on-from
the Indian traders who appear to be
doing a fairly good business. The prs-
oners are dressed in a variety Of cos
tunes; many of them are smartly at
tired in well-cut tweed suits, while 9TH
ers, on the contrary, with their clumsy
garments, ungainly veldsSchoen, and
broad slouch' hats, present the appear
ance of hailing from the blackwell. al
though as matter of fact nearly all of
them come from the Rand or its imme-
diate vicinity. Between themselves
and their friends the conversation is
carried on in Dutch. but once get into
conversation with them and it Is Won
derful how large a proportion not only
speak English, but speak 1t fuently
and with a less pronounced accent than
is to be heard among Afrikanders in the
colony, and even in Cape Town itself.
Generally speaking, the prisoners by no
means convey an idea of the blackwell |
although here and there
are to be seen men who have evidently |
come straight from the country.--Lon- |

N. j., superintendent of the show, gives
his opinion on this question which
seems to be the opinion of chicken
raisers
The sitting hen, he says leaves the
nest about once a day. On returning
she settles down on the eggs and starts
a movement Of the wings and feathers
which lasts for some moments. By so
doing she turns the eggs once day.
This is shown by putting mark on
the eggs when the hen is away. Visit
the nest the next time she leaves, and
it will be found that the marks which
were on top are no longer in sight,
every egg in the nest having been turn
ed halfway round.
Everything the hen does man has tried
to make the incubator do, but here he
has failed There has never been a con-
trivance made which could turn the
egg, or by which they could be turn
ed, as the hen turns them.--The Worces-
ter (Mass.) Gazette.

congratulated myself that the house
used electricity for lighting purposes.
and that there was no gas for him to
blow out.
II handed him over to a bellboy
with instructions to see him safely to

the mysteries of n modern hotel. 1t
wasn't to hours before Il chambermaid
sent down word that the old man was
gathering up the fire buckets on the
floor and burning them up In the crate
In his room.
Il charged up to his room, to find out
what he meant by such conduct. l found
him in his room, calmly smashing IN
the buckets by bringing his No. Il cow
hide boots upon them, The buckets
were some that We had placed In the
halls a number OF years ago. to be used
in case Of fire. But as we had lately
placed five hydrants on every floor,
with reels OF hose at every point, we
had allowed the buckets to go into dis
use.

to so ahead that he might break out at
some other spot that would cost us
