Nor ONLY is Santa Claus not Christmas
figure, but even his name is false. The name
originally was Saint Nicholas, of which Santa
Claus is the abbreviated form, Claus being the
"petty" name for Nicholas in Germany. By
this name was originally understood the holy
bishop of Bari in Italy, who was born at the
end of the third century and was renowned for
his works of mercy toward the poor and suffer
ing. His memory is celebrated in the Catholic
Church on December 9th, and from olden
times the people in Catholic countries have
observed that day by making presents to good
children. But the origin of the term is not
very important. The children know its mean
ing, and it is the duty of all of us to heed their
gentle and innocent belief in the good saint
and his reindeer.

THE GERMAN EMPERoR's order that English
be taught in the higher schools of Germany to
the displacement of French is a striking trib-
ute to the growing use of English throughout
the world. A german merchant in China says
he writes all his business letters in English,
because he can write in a page of English what
it would take three pages to express in German,
and besides he can express himself much
more accurately in English. Our language is
rapidly becoming the world-tongue. Language
is something which surely follows the flag,
and the banners most seen on every sea and in
every port are the Stars and Stripes and Union
Jack, both representing the mightiest peoples
and greatest tongue on earth.

There is more Catarrh in this e
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
astantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and, therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally, in doses from 10
drops to a teaspocnful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any al it fails to cure.

institution in many unexpected
ways, This latest of it's disclosures
is the discovery that a man in New

to this end it can only work at ten
year intervals.
