MOONS PHASES.
CHRISTMAS.

With the recurrence of Christmas
train of pleasant thought is awaken
ed within our minds. Each one Of
us is carried back by flood ofpleas-
ant memories to the days when Santa
Claus was reality and his visit look
ed forward to with the keenest pleas
ure. There are holidays and holidays
but Christmasis the most appreciated
of all. Early education is, in a. large
n,asure, responsible for this. AS soon
as the infant mind can be taught to
reason, the evcr-watchful mother in
stills into its small brain the beauti-
full story of our Saviour's birth. 1t
is so simple that the youngest can
be taught to understand, but yet so
profound that the most learned
scholar cannot fully comprehend. We
are never weary in telling it and each
time it is repeated with added inter
est. Other theological problems may
perplex the brain, especially those of
nature that human understanding
cannot solve, but it seems that the
history of Christ's birth is one of the
few things that is intended to be re-
vealed to US while in this flesh.
For the past weeks secret prepara-
tions have been in progress and mvs-
FERROUS bundles have been carefully
sereted to be opened on Christmas
Eve. The habit Of making gifts is
INDUCED in by those in every station
OF lie from the millionaire to the
laborer and it is not so much the
value as the personal effort it has
cost the giver, that is appreciated.
THIS proves conclusively that there
is behind the observance of Christ
mas sentiment which is not awaken
ed at any other time.
We are taught chat it is more
blessed to give than to receive" and
never is this lesson more strikingly
portrayed than at this glad time. If
we wish to get the largest amount of
genuine pleasure out of the joyful time
that will soon be here, we should
look around and see if there is not
someone in our midst on whom for
tune has but dimly smiled, and whose
Christmas will not be an occasion
for rejoicing, land see if we can not do
lit lie something towards frightening
at least this one day in his dark life.
Gifts need not necessarily possess a
peeuniary value and often apleasant
word or kindly display of interest
will be appreciated far beyond the
mere expenditure of dollars and
cents. This is the time of the year
when we can afford to put personal
interest last and, for briefperiod at
leas,, show a careless regard of self
and more thought for our neighbor
thus, in measure, emulating the
ex nipple of our Saviour who lived
Iii of unselfshness and in the end
g ( Himself as a sacrifice upon the
cross that all the world might be
saved.

BaS-num'S
Monkeys

"All wel)-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry.
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of Scots
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul.
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

ScMEY NOT INDICATED.

The Schley Court of Inquiry con-
sisting of Admiral Dewey and Rear
Admirals Andrew E. K. Benham and
Francis M. Ramsay submitted two
reports on Friday evening. The
majority report ofBenham and Ram
say was against Admiral Schley on
all essential points, except that it
admits 'his conduct during battle
was self-possessed and that he en-
couraged in his own person his SUBJ
ordinate officers and men," In a
nutshell the decision is against Adj
niral Schley and from the standpoint
Of the majority of the Court he is
not indicated. Admiral Dewey,
however, was practically in favor of
Schley. The majority report in SUBJ
stance states that Schley should have
proceeded with the utmost dispatch
co Cienfuegos and maintained a close
blockade; that he should have pro-
ceeded to Santiago with the utmost
dispatch; that he should not have
made a retrograde movement; that
he should have obeyed department
orders; that he should have endeavor-
ed to capture the Spanish vessels in
Santiago harbor May Goth and 3Oth;
that he did not do his utmost to de-
stroy the Colon; that he caused the
the squadron to lose distance in the
loop of the Brooklyn; that he there
by caused the Texas to back; that
he did injustice to Lieutenant Hodg-
son; that his conduct in the campaign
was characterized with vacillation,
dilatoriness and lack of enterprise;
that his official report on the coal
supply was misleading. and mac
curate; the only admissions in
Schley's favor are that his conduct
during the battle was self-possessed.
Admiral Dewey in his report says
that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch; that in view
of his coal supply the blockade of
Cienfuegos was effective; that he al
lowed the Adula to enter Cienfuegos
to get information; that his passage
to Santiago was with as much dis
patch as possible, keeping his squad
ron together; that the blockade of
Santiago was effective; that Admiral
Schley was senior officer of Santiago
in absolute command and entitled to
the credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruc-
ton of the Spanish ships. Admiral
Dewey also signs the report of Rear
Admirals Denham and Ramsay
which was required as he was the
Judge Advocate. The Court recon-
mends, in view of the time that has
elapsed, no further proceeding be had
in the premises. The report was re-
ceived at an ear hour on Friday
evening and it was given to the AS
ISOLATED Press at once.
Mr.. Isidor Rayner, senior counsel
for the accused states that the end is
not yet.
This investigation is unique in the
annals of Naval history and of great
historic Importance. 1t was intend
ed to settle a dispute which has not
only disrupted the Navy, but has
caused bitter feeling throughout the
country. Instead of it doing so how
ever, the chances are that it will
cause much worse feeling, for while
Admiral Dewey gave Admiral Schley
the full credit of the victory, the
junior members of the Court decline
to append their signatures to such
an expression. Admiral Dewey's
opinion simply voices the majority of
