WORK IS REWARDED.


Societies are organized to reward deeds Of cN'
..cptional daring in aid of life, and nations do
honor to individuals who by beauty OF character
accomplish great works, either upon the dreadful
field OF batle or in the quiet wards OF the hes
rital.
Its manner of expression matters not-it is the
quality which attracts and which commands ad'
miraton.
OF all manifestations OF beauty, however, That
OF love for ones ielowman is today the most
prominent and most highly thought OF among
men.
The enormous sums expended in charitable en-
crprses testify to this. while the respect end
admiration so universally shown toward the life
and history Of Jesus of Bethlehem speak volumes
IN favor of the rule OF love.
Love is born OF confidence. is nurturcd OF
knowledge and is continued by devotion.
God is love--and when from Bethlehem this
new revelation came, the earth rejoiced and the
morning stars sang together for JOY. Then came
the ascension promise Of continuity and the race
was surrounded by new atmosphere--the atmos.
phcre OF permanent, continuing. abiding love
'I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world" No cessation, no intcrnisson-alway!
Love is social-while not a growth or develop
ment itself it is the generator OF all virtues and
attachments. 1t never appears that it does not
bring in its train host OF the tendcrcSt and
dearest of associations.
The more we love, the deeper our affection, the
more we desire to be with those to whom our
love is given. Perfect love castcth out fear
hearts become one--spirits unite-and minds are
at unity.
1t was love for man that gave us the ncar-
nation. 1t was love that prompted the words ot
she ascension, and it is love that today expresses
those words in all power and continuity--"l am
.ith you alway"-and the spirit of most perfect
love broods over every child OF mantle very
presence Of ncarnate love is at his sidc-whilc
love divine encircle him with its wings of pro.
lection. 1t is this which gives all power to Him
who is Lord and Master, but who III His great
love became man and the servant OF man in order
that he might teach all men both how to live
and how TO love.
WOULD NEVER LEAVE THEN.
Having full understanding of that popularity
OF love which longs for association with the
beloved, our Lord arranged that he should never
leave His disciples and provided means OF con.
linuous association. This arrangement see
carried out and perfected today in the ministri.
iion OF the Holy Ghost.
And now as we look up from our knees this
holy season it is unto the beautiful face Of the
joyous child, the babe of Bethlehem, the promise
and surety of the continued love of God in all
the relations and happenings OF life Yea, and
the presence Of that dear child of prophesy as.

svania came to Washington by the hum
dred to witness his induction into Of
nee and they brought with them floral
offerings literally by the carload. While
I Mr.. Quay's desk and the desks Of other
senators adjoining his We're banked
with costly and beautiful floral pieces,
scarcely an appreciable quantity Of the.
profusion of flowers his friends had
provided could be displayed in the SEN
ate chamber. The demonstration ac-
corded Mr.. Quay when he entered the
chamber amounted to an ovation.
While he was receiving the congratula-
lions of friends on the floor, the hum
dreds of persons who thronged the
galleries arose as one and applauded
him unanimously. Mr.. Quay appre-
ciated this distinctly personal tribute.
He glanced smilingly around the gall
leries, nodding Familiarity to friends
whom he recognized here and there.
The brief ceremony of administering
to him the oath of Office passed without
special event, the president pro tenn
having warned those in the galleries
that 1t was against the rules of the
senate for spectators to express either
approval or disapproval
During the days session the army re-
organization bill was discussed at
length by Mr. Money of Mississippi,
Mr.. McComas of Maryland and Mr.
Bate of Tennessee. The Mississippi
senator devoted some attention to the
practice of hazing at West Point
which he bitterly denounced.
In the House.
Yesterday was an exceedingly dull
day in the house. The entire day was
spent uron the bill to revise and codify
the postal laws, which is to be the con-
tinuing order, not, however, to inter-
fere with appropriation bills or confer
ence reports, until disposed of. 1t is a
bill Of POI pages and is simply a revis.
ion Of existing laws.

London, Jan. 19.-Reports concerning
the unfavorable condition Of the
queens health have been in persistent
circulation for the past month There
is now only too good reason to believe
that there is some foundation for them.
The recent sudden death Of Lady
Churchill. senior lady of the queens
bedchamber, deprived her majesty Of
almost her last old intimate friend and
left the saddest effect upon her. Her
physicians advise. that her departure
for Cimfez be hastened, but she Is not

IT is her duty to remain at her post
while the affairs Of the empire are so
unsettled and threatening.

Climatic nIodincation of plants.

Climatic Modification of Plants.
We have previously referred to the
desirability Of having plants that are
able to Withstand a higher or lower
temperature than usually supposed
possible for any particular variety we
now cultivate. We have, as a people,
long labored under the delusion that
the habitat Of plants is fixed so far as
their power to Withstand adverse cli-
matte conditions IS concerned. In the
light of recent experiments, however,
we are coming to believe that even our
most serviceable plants may be modi-
fieu by proper handling so they will
ultimately be Of great service in tenn
peratures and conditions not now
adapted to them. We have an alfalfa
today that will not stand severe con-
dition of cold. Recently there has been
imported from Northern Asia an alfal-
ia that can stand up to 40 degrees OF
cold. Without doubt both plants de-
veloped from the same prehistoric
parent and formed characteristics ac-
cording to their conditions.
That this modification, however.
need not cover centuries of time is per-
haps quite clearly demonstrated by
some experiments that have been car
ried on for ten or fifteen years IN
switzerland. 1t was determined to
learn it possible if the plants growing
in the Swiss valleys could be made to
develop and grow on the cold noun
tains, and, if so, what the mcdifica-
tons of the plants would be. Thirty
five orders of plants, represented by
about 80 genera and 100 species, were
subjected to the conditions of the ex-
pertinent. The plan was to divide the
roots or root stalks into equal parts,
plant in the same kind of soil, and ex-
pose them to the conditions found at
various stations upon the Alps and
Pyranee mountains. Such changes as
were noted were attributed to more
intense light, drier atmosphere and
lower temperatures.
'Anese plants were found to be modl-
fed both in form and structure in the
course Of a few years. Under the ef-
feet of the mountain conditions the
underground portions of the plants be-
came relatively better developed than
the parts above the ground. The stems
above the ground in few years de-
veloped tendency to hairy growth
and to lie close to the ground as If to
escape the cold blasts. They became
more spreading and the internodes be-
,, came shorter. The stems became thick
er, which evidently made it easier for
them to Withstand conditions of cold.
On the plants of a woody nature the
bark became thicker. The leaves be-
came smaller and more hairy, and took
on hue of deeper green. On the 9TH
er hand the flowers became relatively
larger and more highly colored. Per-
haps one Of the most interesting facts
brought out was that if a Plant that
had been modified by several :'ears ex-
posure on the mountains were taken
again to the plains, it would lose it's
notifications in the same p.riod cS
time it had taken to acquire them.

Michigan Forest Reserves.

The Michigan. forestry commission
recently held a meeting, attended by
Mr.. Skeels. land agent for the state
board OF agriculture. He submitted the
following estimates Of lands available
for forestry purposes: The state has
about 100000. acres Of land that has
reverted through delinquent taxes and
about 100000 acres of tax homestead
lands. About Is per cent OF these lands
were originally covered with a second
growth Of timber. There are 1000, 900
acres Of what are known as jack pine
plains in Michigan, the timber varying
with the nature of the soil. On the
poorer soil these pines are scrubby and
Of little value. The stronger lands
bear some black Norways that are val
liable. and also some scattering white
pines. but the latter are OF the s.buck-
'-Wheat. variety and do not have long.
clean bodies. It has been determined
that the character OF the timber on. the
pine plains does not depend as much
on the soil as it does on the accidentgof
seed distribution.

Beers, divided into two forces
One force made determined at
tempt on the baggage and the other
on the cavalry constituting the rear
guard. The cavalry was compelled to
retire until protected by four COM
panies Of rifles, hidden behind ridge,
who were waiting with bayonets. The
Beers then made a speedy retreat leav-
ing several dead and wounded from
the heavy British fire. Eventually
both attacks were repulsed, the Beers
losing heavily. The British were not
able to pursue the Beers owing to the
necessity of protecting their baggage.
Their casualties were one killed and
fifteen wounded. H.

Corbin, KY, Jan. 19.-The excitement
resulting from Wednesday nights
feud troubles continued yesterday.
Reports We're received last night Of
armed men massing outside Of town,
representing the two factions, but up
to midnight no outbreak of any char
.acter had occurred. A special train
with troops from Lexington is due here
this morning. No attempt was made
yesterday to clear the debris away
from the building wrecked Wednesday
night by the dynamite. Every one kept
within doors fearing further trouble
between the Shotwells and Whites be-
fore the troops arrived. The Shotwels
occupy the hills near town while the
White forces are mostly in Corbin. All
the residences are barricaded.
While the trouble between the two
families was precipitated by Raleigh
White killing old man Shotwell, yet it
has been brewing may years. Mary
5Shotwell and Young White have beer
engaged, and Notwithstanding the fact
that her father is dead she expresses
sympathy for White.
Sheriff Sutton made an attempt yes
terday to arrest the ShotwelIs, but
was held off at the point of Winches-

all the boys to-day when the troops
arrive and he will have over 100 depu-
ties of his own. The Shotwells will be
charged with blowing up the White

o'clock Friday under the terms Of
agreement : reached late yesterday.
Speeches in opposition to the bill were
delivered by Mr.. Allen (Pop) of Ne
braska, Mr.. Teller (silver) Of Colorado
and Mr. Butler (Pop) of North Caro-
lima. Mr.. .McCumber (Rep.) Of North
Dakota made an argument in support
of the measure. The feature Of the
debate was the dsnunciation Of the
practice Of hazing at the West Point
military academy. Mr.. Allen, Mr..
Money Of Mississippi and Mr.. McCum-
Der declared it to be an evidence of
brutality and cowardice, the Missis-
sippi senator maintaining that cade,
whom others attempted to haze would
be justified in killing his assailants.
He declared that If he were cadet
upon whom such cowardly brutality
were attempted he would kill those
who assaulted him If he had to wait a
hundred years for the opportunity,

f The river and harbor appropriation
bill was passed yesterday by the
house. The bill has been under cons:d-
GRAFTON over a week and has been as
sailed from many quarters, but its
friends have stood solidly by 1T and
defeated every amendment to which
the river and harbor committee would
not agree. The bill passed practically
as 1t came. from the committee. 1t
carries SLIGHTLY less than s60.OOoO 900, of
which $23.00o,00o is rect appropria-
tons. The friends Of the Missouri
river Improvement, although they were
in securing what they de-
sired, persuaded Chairman Burton to
offer an amendment to permit owners
OF property abutting on the Missouri
to build dykes and wing dams for it's
protection where such structures don't
interfere with the navigation Of the
stream. i
