stroyed by fire last Sunday night, causing

Major Alexander Shaw, one of the fore
most business men of Baltimore, whose
quiet philanthropy has been known and
appreciated by thousands of persons who
have felt it an honor to call him friend or
acquaintance, died suddenly at 8. 80 o clock
last Saturday night Death came when
least expected, even at time when din
ner was being given in his honor, the guests
totally unaware of his approaching end or
even illness. He was born in Long Branch,
n J.. in 1887, being the son Of Rev.
John Knox Shaw, an eminent Methodist
Episcopal clergyman. At the age of 20
years Major Shaw came to Maryland and
located in Allegany county, where he be-

THE CHRISTMAS SECRET.
BY Ella NJ. shinn.

Do you ever think, at Christmas,
When you are so bright and gay.
OF the ones who feel no gladness
In the coming of that day.
or the poor, sad little children
who are hungry, get no care
Won't you go to them at Christmas
And with them your gladness shareY
Do you ever think, at Christmas,
AS the pretty leaves you twine
Into wreaths and things of beauty,
Made of holly and Of pine,
OF the lovely little children
Who are left so sick and sad
Won't you go to them at Christmas?
Won't you help to make them glad
Do you ever think, at Christmas,
When you sing some sweet. sweet song,
OF the many who grow bitter
AS these merry days go long,
Why not take to them some blessing
That will make their hearts awaken
Won't you go to them at Christmas
And word of Jesus take?
Have you guessed the Christmas secret,
Spch secret. sweet and truef
If your JOY you share with others
Twill be multiplied to you.
Have you learned the real meaning
cfthe blessed Christmas Day7
Go and carry joy to others,
And sweet peace will crown your way.

There is an aristocracy Of the sun.
NJ. Lugeon, professor in the Univer-
sity OF Lausanne. has been making an
investigation in the great valleys OF
Switzerland and finds that the edge OF
the daylong shadow that winds amid
the high mountains is n most remarka-
bic boundary. 1t is not only q bounda-
~ between suniit slopes aud hills in
the shadow. but it is a line that divides
aristocrats in intelligence and prosper
ity from plebeians of ignorance and
proverty
Professor Lugeon has made a special
study Of the great valleys OF the can
ton between Martigny and the Rhone
glacier and finds that where both sides
are equally steep preference is given to
the sunny side as a place of residence,
there being three persons there to one
on the side I'm the shadow. This is not
remarkable, but it is remarkable that
the jewellers in the sunlight are far su-
perior to those who live in the shadow
in Intelligence, education and general
prosperity.
Sunlight has developed ambition and
energy, and it's effect Is seen In the
homes, fields, dress and conversation of
these people of the sun, who look with
contempt on the people OF the shade
across the valley.

There is no special model which has
