Tho SeRson Of Christmns.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: The state
ment frequently made that II was unlikely that
shepherds would DO out on the hill tons about
Bethlehem during the rainy month OF Decem-
her. and therefore that Christ's birth took
place most probably at some other season OF
the year. seems to have no other foundation
than n misGuotation Of LiGhtfoot's from tho
Talmud. The following words OF EdersheIm
H.. and T. OF Jesus. pr. 1886 and 1877 are, I
think. conclusive:
A passage in the Mshnah Cshek VII, &. lead. %
tho conclusion taAt the focks whi,h pastured there
about Bethlehem, were destiisd for Temple sacri.
noes, and. accordingly, that the shepherds who
watched over them, were not ordipAry shopherds

lax. This amendment, however, like that
previously mentioned, will be rejected on
the ground that IL represents an inordinate
development OF the centralizing tendency.
which has gone quite far enough.
1t is barely possible that one amendment
may obtain the requisite two-thirds vote in
both houses OF Congress, and, subse-
quently, may DO ratified by the Leglsla-
lures or Conventions OF three-fourths Of
the States. We refer to the proposed addi-
ton to the Constitution providing that
neither polygamy nor polygamous cohabi-
taton shall exist within the United States,
or any place subject to its jurisdiction, and
providing. further, that no polygamist
shall be eligible to any Office OF honor or
emolument, either civil or military. or per-
mitted TO vote at any election. The objec-
tions to this amendment are. first that 1t is
needless, every State and Territory having
already enacted laws against plural mar
riagcs, and secondly, that 1t would estab-
llsh q precedent for interfering with matters
wisely left by the Constitution to the re-
spective States.

America and Europe.

Our esteemed contemporary In the north,
the Toronto Globe, again contemplates sig
niflcantly the Dominion of Canada as a
partner in the British movement in South
Africa:
lin sending two bodies Of troops to cooperate with
the British troops in South Africa the Government
has taken avery important step and one which places
Canada in new relation toward the empire"
1t gives Canada new relation to the
British Empire assuredly, and. In 30 doing,
It tends to give this hemisphere relation
to the Continent Of Europe which the
American Government is bound gravely
and carefully to consider.
For many years Africa has been virtu-
ally Europe. For an army to leave North
America on an expedition Of African cen
quest is wholly without precedent, and
pregnant with international complications
to which the United States are tradition
ally averse.

Thomerc asking Of the subjoined question

heads muddled in regard To the time OF tho

tian year. A. ID. ~ means tho Goth
year A. d. 1890 means tho s90th year.
and th1 loooth year, or year 1900 must
pass before the century numbered and
named the Twentieth begin
