He annual meeting OF the Wash
ington Water Color Club was
held at the studios Of Miss Perrie
and Miss Solomon, on Saturday night.
the 7th inst. This annual event is the
most interesting of all of the meetings
of this enthusiastic society. which. dur
ing the past wear has duly established
its position as the most progressive art
society OF Washington The record made
during the year is ample ground for
Congratulstion. while none OF the mem
bers are yet satisfied that the best at
tainments possible have been reached.
Ii is a notable fact that while this club
is much younger than the Society of
Washington Artists, that it's average,
Judged from exhibition standards, are
higher than that of the older organiza-
lion. At the last annual exhibition the
Water Color Club exhibited 1873 of the
14s pictures, the out-of-town representa-
tion being limited to zen pictures. At
the annual exhibition OF the Society Of
Washington Artists over 30 per cent of
the pictures accepted were from ex
hibitors outside OF this city. While
statistics are not entertaining. they are
sometimes valuable in determining the
relative value OF matters in which the
standards being equal, numbers hx the
relative strength. The election OF Of
ncers resulted in the choice OF w H.

If the boy has no land even then the
agricultural education is most useful to

wise enough to be acquiring landed es-
tates. Most Of them desire to live upon
them at least a part of the time. They
are searching for men who know how to
manage these estates. They are willing
to pay generously for trained young men
who can grow crops and care for cows
and feed cattle and do these things well.
They want the young men who know
how. There are not nearly enough

Very often We receive letters from rich

BIRTH OF THE cHRIsrHAs CAROL

Christmas carols are as old as the
Christmas era. The first Christmas caro-
was sung by the angels to the shepherds
of Judea. They sang GLORY to God in
the Highest, and on Earth. Peace, Good
Will Toward Men. The startled shep-
herds heard the words and remembered
them and sang them again the following
year, aud the year after. and for long
Christmas ewes before the Holy Script
perpetuated them forever.
Some of the most beautiful Christmas
carols appeared in The fifteenth, sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries and had their
home in France, Italy and England. In
those days it was the mark of littera-
teur to have carol collections, for books
we're not as plentiful as they are now,
and one Of the most famous collectors
was De Caurroy, of France, whose name
comes down to us, in the writings of the
day, more as collector Of carols than as
writer.
The English royalty were all very fond
of the Christmas carol. Queen Elizabeth
had her ladies sing them with dancing,
hence it's doubtful that she understood
the meaning Of the word carol.
The most beautiful carol ever sung, or
the one that is most widely sung, is the
Hymn Of Nativity, which is ssung every
year in Bethlehem in the church which
was built over the stablesin which Christ
was born. The stable star
