mansions be long or short-our lives be

heart OF that which is old as imm tality,
and which shall never die-love There,
then, this Christmas day, that Christmas
day, and every Christmas day, is present in
the heart this love for the home, with its
inmates, for friends and for humanity.
The Christ-day practice Of opening the
heart to unselish influences is born of
the teachings of Him whose birth the day

life rounded, the only completely perfect
life. He taught the lessons of love, gentle
ness, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, be-

is higher and best in humanity is of His
teaching, and from the latter has come the
Christian home, the best development of
unselfsh affection and contentment to be
found among men.

name, was unheard of until from His peace
on the Mount Of Beatitudes He gave it
forth, music sweeter than angels ever sang,
that higher song that man lives not unto
himself alone, and That the greatest happi-
ness is that which comes of doing good unto
others.
Peace on earth! good will to men! That
higher song which lifts man above himself
and makes him but little lower than the
angels.
The Christ theme will never die. First
heard on the plains Of Bethlehem, with the
frowning Herod temple but three miles
away, within whose walls were heard the
teachings of the law of revenge and love of
self, heard there for the first time, it has
been sounding ever since, spreading wider
and wider, until now it compasses the whole
earth. In Christ's day Rome had waxed
to its noon of majesty, yet Rome passed and
was not. On that kingdom rose other
Kingdoms, which perished in their turn.
Since He lived one system after another sys-
TEN of philosophy has been built up, only
to be torn down again. But the words of
the Christ be and abide, and they shall stand
forever, influencing men to nobler lives ana
higher results in living. His Kingdom Is
an everlasting Kingdom, and Of its dura-
tion there shall be no end.
Meet and right is it, then, that the
Christ-day shall be one of gladness in the
human heart; that the children shall take
part in it, since He loved them and blessed
them, and that gifts shall be exchanged in
token Of that love for one another, which
He bore for all humanity.

The Good Enect. of ArpIe EntInE.

The apple is such common fruit that
few are familiar with its remarkable
efficacious properties. Everybody ought
to know that the very best thing they
can do is to eat apples just before re-
firing for the night. The apple is an
excellent brain food, because 1t has
more phospboric acid in easily digested
shape than any other vegetable known.
1t excites the action OF the liver, pro-
notes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. That
is not all. The apple aggIutinates the
surplus acids of the stomach. helps the
kidney secretions and is one OF the best
preventives known of diseases OF the
throat.-Journal OF Agriculture.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.


When she was little girl, a very
pretty story was told of Queen Will
helmina of Holland. Her father was
presented by the city of Amsterdam
with beautiful set of cups and sau-
, GERS. So highly did he prize them that
he at once issued orders that any one
in the palace who should be so unfor-
tunate as to break one should be dis
missed.
Not long after this order little Will
helmina was surprised TO discover her
favorite footman weeping bitterly. 1t
seemed that he had been so unfortu-
nate as to break one of the cups in
carrying 1t from the room in which he
had been serving tea.
The princess was deeply grieved at
the accident: but, having discovered
that the pieces were quite large and
could easily be glued together, she said
to the foOtman:
eff you will do exactly as l direct, 1
will try TO help you out Of your trouble.
You can easily glue these pieces tOGeth-
er. This afternoon when you are serv-
ing tea bring this cup TO me filled with
cold tea. and 1 will see what 1 can do
about it,
The footman obeyed his directions
exactly. y moment after the princess
had received her tea she managed to
let it fall so that it broke into thou
sands of pieces. The king was furious
ly angry.
"GOodby, father,' cried Wilhelmina,
her arms about his neck. I'm going.
You said whoever broke Il cup should
be banisl,~d" OF course the father
forgave hl-', and some little time after
ward she confessed the whole affair.
only she would never reveal which of
the footmen had been the guilty cul-
prit. az
