A Pertinent Fact.

Here is an item that is going about
in our exchanges credited to "EN-
change" Whoever the writer is, he
has had experience in the matter. 1t
is an item that some people par
ticularly should read and try to re-
member. 1t says:
"The publisher of a newspaper has
one thing to rent. He has the news
paper to sell, and the space in the
columns to rent. Can anyone inform
us why he should be expected to give
away either one or the other? He can
do so if he chooses and he does as IL
fact furnish great deal of space rent
free. But it does not follow that he
ought to be expected to do it. 1t
ought to be recognized AS a contribu-
tion exactly as he would the giving
away sugar or coffee by the grocery
man. But strange to say it is not
looked upon in that light at all, yet
everybody knows that the eNistance of
u newspaper depends as much on the
rent of it's space and sale of the paper
as the merchants success depends on
selling his. .goodsJ instead of giving
them away

PEACE AND GOODWILL

AT the break of Christmas day,
Though the frost starlight ringing,
Faint and sweet and far away.
Comes the sound of childrcn singing,
Chanting, singing
"Cease to mourn,
F." Christ is born,
Penc. AID joy to all mon bringing!"
Careless thai chill winds blow.
Growing stronger, sweeter, clearer.
NQiseless footballs in the snow
Bring the happy voices nearer:
Hear them singing,
''Winter's drear:
But Christ is here
Mirth and glatiness with him bringing!"
"Merry Christmas" hear them say,
As the East is growing lighter;
MAY the joy of Christmas day
Make your whole year gladder, brighten!
Join their singing,
ITO each home
Our Christ has come.
Alllove's treasure, with him bringing!''

The House That Treshnm Brtlt.


One of the curiositics of architecture
in England is. according to The Stone
Trades Journal, the house erected
about 800 years ago at Rushton. in
Northamptonshire. by Sir Thomas
Tresllam. Roman Catholic, who
wished by his design to typify the
Trinity.
The house is all threes, has three
sides. three stories and three windows
on each fiat. each of them in the shape
of the trefoil-the three leaved sham
rock. Where the roofs meet rises a
three sided pyramid, terminating in a
large trefoil. The smoke escapes from
this chimney by three round holes op
each side of the three sides. The build
ing is almost covered with notices and
carvings. three Latin inscriptions. one
on each of the three sides. having 80
letters in each. Three angles on each
side bear shields. Over the door is the
text from the vulgate. 'There are three
that bear record" Inside the house
each corner is cut off from each Of the
three main rooms. so that on every
floor there are three three sided apart.

Three Beautiful Christmas Drawings Ere,

Three Beautiful Christmas Drawings Free
A novel innovation is made in the
gorgeous Christmas number of
LEsLIE's WEEKLY, now on sale. This
beautiful issue, which is enclosed in a
cover of rare beauty, printed in ten
colors. embraces three fine drawings:
one, a large double. page, by Howard
Chandler Christy, of s'The Young
Musicians Christmas Gift;"a full page
drawing, by Gordon H. Grant "Fishing
for PRESENTS" illustrating beautiful
English Christmas custom; and one by
7. Dart Walker, the well-known artist,
entitled "The Interrupted Christmas
Dinner" revolutionary incident.
These drawings have been reproduced
on heavy plate paper. They are not
bound in the number but are loose, SO
that each one can be framed for the
adornment of sitting room, parlor,
office or library. They are certainly
worth keeping, for any of them,
suitably framed, would make a most
acceptable Christmas, birthday or New
Years gift. They are all the work of
artists who are we'll known to the
,ublic. The pictures, in any art store,
would bring more than the price of
the Christmas issue of LEsLIE's
WEEKLY, which is twenty-five cents.

ago was identical with horseshoe

break occurred toward the Ncy' York
side, and since then other changes bnNe

fall is more like it's original form. but
clearly shows the effects OF the wear
ing of the waters.
Many people fail 30 see how the falls
wear the rock away, and this is a little
mystery until the exact conditions are
realized. The ledge of rock over which
the water of both the American and
Horseshoe falls flow is of hard lime
stone. 1t is all of GO feet thick and
naturally very heavy. Underneath this
ledge of limestone there are the shales
of the niagara locality. This soft rock
is many feet thick. The rock of the
Horseshoe fall is unprotected, and as
the water falls over the precipice and
boils in the river below it washes away
the soft sllale beneath the limestone.
so that the limestone is left in sheflilSe
form, projecting far out into the gorge.
Observant visitors to the falls have no
doubt noticed this condition.
In the course of time the shale foun-
dation of the limestone ledge is exca-
waited to such point that the u1fsup-
ported ledge breaks away by its own
weight. and the crest line Of the Horse
shoe fall recedes so much farther.
Then the water attacks the newly ex-
posed shalc, and in time the process
outlined is repeated This has been go-
