The star of Reth1ehem.

It was a cloister fancy Of the dark
ages that the star of Bethlehem was
some especially created starlike body,
probably within our atmosphere, de-
signed wholly for the leading of the
wise men. The law of parsimony re-
jects such exploitation, and science,
with silent scorn, turns its back upon
the bauble star, for in the glorious
depths of heaven are matchless orbs
which, swinging on their way into NOR
tai ken for awhile, meet all the de-
mands of poet and of prophet for the
'Star of the King"
History affords us data for determin-
ing this wondrous star.
When the magi arrived in Jerusalem,
Herod was within few weeks of his
death. The massacre Of the babes of
Bethlehem was one of the last of his
tragic deeds. Herod died in the year
Of Rome 750. When "Herod inquired
diligently what time the star appear
3D." the reply was evidently such that
he thought it safe to exterminate all
baby sons of Bethlehem from 2 years
old and under, showing that 'the STAR
had been known to the wise men for
at least two years before their arrival
in Jerusalem, and whether its appear
ing had marked the conception or the
birth Of ''the king" Herod could not
decide.-New Lippincott's.

a Long way Round.

What is the most roundabout jour
ney that the absence of proper steam
ship communication entails on the in
habitants of any country? Surely it
must be that described by our consul
at Loanda, Portuguese West Africa.
If one of the 5000 whites Of Angola or
LOO Europeans in the Kongo indie
pendent State, who so frequently need
change of climate, wishes to spend a
week or two in Cape Town-which
should lie, even by slow steamer, only
six days distant-he has to travel 1900
miles from Loanda to Madeira, catch
there Cape steamer and journey for
another fortnight the 1890 miles to
Cape Town. 1t thus needs fully a
months continuous travelling and 1000
miles Of it to reach a point only 1000
miles from the starting point.-London

When you have wanted little SIS
ter very, very badly and when the
little sister finally arrives, you are apt
to love her far better than anybody
else could possibly love her, even your
father and mother. Mabel was Z years
old before the long wished for little
sister arrived. The first rapture of real
ly having her was dampened somewhat
by the incessant crying of the baby.
For herself Mabel didn't mind. Any
thing the baby did was perfect, but,
oh, would the others, who couldn't, Of
course, worship little sister" the way
Mabel did, get tired of it? One day
when the baby had almost screeched
her little head off, and all in that incon-
sequent way of babies, Mabel went to
her mother in the first lull and begged
dissolution.
"You don't mind her crying so very
much, do you, mammaT she said ear
nestly. "She's so little, you know, and
she can't help 1t yet, really and truly
she can't Please, please put up with
it for my sake. And, oh, mamma,
no matter how hard she cries you won't
now promise me you won't, mamma
send her awayp'-New York Sun.

Monomoff paled. The chief Of police
politely withdrew. and the ladies' adj
vanced in orderly steps. Two of them
took the arms Of Monomoff, and all en-
tered into the bedchamber and closed
the door.
What kind of ceremony they per-
formed we don't know positively, but
one thing is certain, that when they
emerged again from the sanctum of
the princely pair their rods were used
up to great degree.
The chief of police took polite leave
Of the prince, and the ladies' ar
ranged themselves in line again and
fled away in nice, soldierly manner.
Before leaving the chief Of police as
sured the prince that all those "ladies"
were selected especially for one merit,
their knowledge how to keep secret.
But, in spite Of his assurance, the
story soon became known all over the
world.-Narrated From the Hungarian

A puny child is always an anxiety to
the parents. There seems generally no
reason why the little one should be weak
when it is SO well fed. But the fact is
that it does not matter how much food the
child takes if the stomach cannot extract
the nourishment from it. No benefit can
be derived from just eating. That is the
condition of many sickly child. The
stomach and organs of digestion and nu-
triton are not doing their work, and the
body is really starving. 1t is little use to
give fish foods, like cod liver oil or emul-
sions, in such case, because these also
have to be digested: they may Tighten the
stomach's labor but they don't strengthen
it. Strength is what the stomach needs.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
strengthens the stomach, nourishes the
nerves and increases the action of the
blood making glands. 1t is superior to
every other preparation for children's use
on account of its body building qualities,
and also because it is pleasant to the taste
and contains no alcohol, whiskey or other
intoxicant. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are valuable aid when the bowels are
irregular. They are small. Children
take them readily.

Thinking these things, he passed the
creature, and it seemed to him that the
smirk on his face was even more than
usually offensive.
So sure was he that the unweleome
acquaintance with this man was over
that ne did not even look from his win
dow that night to see II he were watch
ing, but, putting out his light threw
himself in his bed with more Of happi-
ness in his mood than he had known
for years. He fell into light slumber,
from which he was aroused by the i'm
preston that some one was looking at
him. He opened his eyes and stared
into the gloom, gloom not little
mitigated by street lamp across the
street, which, owing to the lifted shade,
shone clearly into the room.
The feeling that some one was look
ing at him grew to a certainty even be-
fore Westerly's sleep weighted eyes be-
held the tall and careless figure Of the
Three O'Clock Man standing by his
bed. If the man had been repugnant
to him before, he seemed hideous now.
He seemed to convey some horrible
threat by his presence. What was It?
Madness2
Westerly gave it no words, but he
felt the moment had come for liberia
ton. He determined to make su-
preme effort to free himself. Failing,
he was convinced that he would be for
evermore in the presence Of this fear
full guest. So, with an effort that took
the blood from his heart and brought
the drops out upon his skin, Westerly
raised himself, staring unfinchingly at
the Three O'Clock Man, rose from his
bed and slowly advanced. The advance
is slow in the face Of cruel enemy,
but it is sometimes certain. 1t was
certain with Westerly. Inch by inch
they went on, facing each other, the
man backing, Westerly advancing, ev-
cry muscle set, every nerve strained,
brain and soul and mind fixed on vic
tory. Across the room they went, hat
ing each other more every passing Sec
ond and showing their hate on their
distorted faces, wrestling as men may
not wrestle with their muscles till the
creature went out of the side of the
room-faded from Westerly's sight. He
was gone. By some great, comfortable
knowledge Westerly knew him gone
forever Hardly conscious, he sank
upon his bed, painting like one who has
been in frantic race or fight.
II must tell Elsa Sessions" he re-
membered thinking as he sank off into
blurred condition, half fainting, half
sleeping. But, after all" he reflected
the next morning, 'she will never be-
lieve me. Perhaps would better keep
the strange matter Of the Three O'Clock
Man quite to- himself"
Which he did. So it must have been
the Three O'clock Man who told.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

One day not many years ago there
appeared on the bill of certain place
of amusement the fact that Mr.. and
Mrs. Salvini would present an interest
ing feature on the programme. Mrs.
Salvini's part in the entertainment
was the task of working the stereoptl-
con from the gallery, while her hus-
band performed on the stage. Mrs.
Salvinps work was well done and was
just as important as that of her hus-
band. A porter, who was to write
an account of the programme, how
ever, turne in something like this:
"Mr. and Mrs. Salvini were on the
programme. Mr.. Salvini was present
and did excellent work, but for some
unaccountaole reason, which was not
explained, AIRS. Salvini did not make
her appearance Detroit Free Press.

A Story Of Woman Who Gould
Not Keep Secret and How
She Paid the Penalty.
BY MAuRus JokAI.


When the Princess Alexandra Ser
baton was presented at the luxurious
court OF Catherine II, two men had the
most influence In the empire. One was
Gregory Alexandroyitch Potemkin, the
mighty minister, the other Prince Mon
omoff, the handsome fayorite of the
czarina.
The gossiping world said that the
pretty eyes Of the favorite had just as
much share in governing the land Of all
Russians as the great brain of the ia
nous statesman.
The quick eye Of Prince Monomoh
noticed at once the extraordinary beau
ty Of the new court lady, and of course
it was only natural that so wide awake
a statesman as Potemkin, whose less
pretty but nevertheless watchful eyes
were always open, couldn't help seeing
and admiring.
Both men fell in love with the young
princess, and In the ensuing ardent but
secret struggle for her love the czari-
liz LdfOIiLc, AOAOhOAp was AAAoAAJ
the more successful. He became the
devoted admirer of the princess, and
the wise Potemkin, knowing that he
was mot in IT. any more, withdrew,
burying his malice in his diplomatic
heart.
Thanks to his intrigue, the new love
of Prince Monomof now became
known to the czarina, who, to avoid a
scandal, ordered her favorite to marry
at once the girl.
The punishment was taken by the
prince with resignation, which was
only natural, knowing that the young
princess was not only bewitchingly
beautiful, but also enormously rich.
The wedding took place with great
pomp and ceremony. The young pair
was overwhelmed with the costliest
presents, among which the most valua-

Your roses are seeming the air,
And dream of our love troth long ago

As under the willow tree by the gate

We have had our measure of rue;
The clouds were dark and the skies were fair,
But you forever were true.
And now as / sit In the dark alone

The way through the years to that farof field
Where simples for heartache grow.
Love fades, they say, when the pulse is old,
And am threescore and ten,

Lies far beyond their ken;
For tomorrow they hide you away, sweetheart
In the graveyard out Of my sight,
So heap the roses-God's roses-round you
And kiss you and say, Good night"
