young and old gathered In the eve
ming. The young to rollick and play,
the old to swap stories of the past, and
in this way a very pleasant evening
was spent. The refreshments, the
most important adjunct on such occa-
sions, was of the substantial sort and
enjoyed by all. After congratulating
MIR. and Mrs. Horner on their long
and happy union and wishing for Mrs.
Horner many future birthdays, the
party adjourned. feeling they had
been well entertained.

Forests and Human YitalItr.

One has but to look back through
history to see how closely related is
the forest to human vitality. 1t was
in the forests of Thessaly that the
early Greeks received their energy that
later lowered into genius. 1t was the
forest dwellers of Germany that con-
quered decadent Rome and later gave
TO Spain the vigor that swept back the
Moor and brought under her flag al
most the whole known world. But to-
day what is Greece, what is Italy, what
is Spain? They have been stripped of
their forests, those nurseries of vigor,
and their decay has set in. Every
where the law holds good. 1t is in
the forest that the manhood is nour-
ished which builds up great civiliza-
tions. But cities arise, trees are swept
away, and the inevitable decline sets
in. Forests once destroyed cannot re-
turn, and over all the sites of ancient
civilization are blowing the desert
sands.-New York Times.

BIBLES REACH
INTO MILLIONS
Remarkable Output of the
Scriptures by the Famous
British and Foreign Society

To show its appreciation of the part
being taken by Canada in the celebra-
ton of the centenary of the British
and Foreign Bible Society. three of it's
ablest and most eloquent supporters
are in Canada as special delegates.
They are the Venerable ArchdeacOn
Madden of Liverpool. the Rev. G. H.
Bondfield, the society's representive in
China, and Sir AlgernOn CoOte, pre-
mier baronet of Ireland and one Of the
society's vice presidents.
Sunday evening Archdeaeon Madden
spoke in the Church of the Epiphany,
saying that tthe Bible Society during
the hundred years of it's existence had
distributed throughout the world $780,
900, 900 Bibles. printed in $40 different
languages. Last year it gave out 6.O0O.-
600 Bibles and portions of Bibles.
The enormous work of this society was
apparent when it was known that a
century ago only 1900, 900 copies of the
book were in existence. Now there are
200, ,000, 900 copies of il in the world.
The Rev. G. H. Bondfield spoke at
the Metropolitan Church and at West
minister Presbyterian Church. Among
the significant facts he presented was
that Notwithstanding the $40 languages
in which the Bible is circulated, there
are in India 102 languages into which
no part of the scriptures has been
translated. In the South Seas, out Of
12T languages the Bible has been trans
lated into only As of them. Similar
conditions were true of China, South
America, where there are 300 Indian
dialects, and of other portions Of the
world.-Toronto Mail and Express.

The Present King of Siam

The King of Siam, whose Jubilee ia
being celebrated with Unprecedented
masnifcence in Bangkok. is only s.
years Of age, for he ascended the
throne at Is. Mrs. Leonowen. an F,ns-
hsh governess, whose pupil he was
for six years, described him as an ant
scholar. handsome. affectionate and
generous, with lofty ideals. Chula-
longkOrn has verified that chararter
ny progressive rule. He has given
Siam an enlightened government. and
yet zealously guarded native customs
and institutions. Hence, while build
ing canals, railways. lighthouses and
hospitals, he still serves as a priest
in the Buddhist temple. He has or
ganized his army on the German
model, but his bOdyguard is still COM
posed of Amazons-4OO daughters OF
his mobiles. He has also abolished the
second King, who exercised one-third
of the royal power. and has establish
ed instead a legislative council of
mobiles. At these cabinet councils one

Servants in Sofia.

tober 26,' writes young Bulgarian
woman living in Sofia, "our streets are
full of servants, and people bargain
with them for service. During the
winter season they are very cheap, as
the peasants send all their girls to the
CITY to be hired, they having no work
for them at home. The price paid diff
fers. One can get girl for her board
or pay up to 20 lusor (SD a month
for one who cooks. washes and irons.
Girls are often thankful to enter a
good family for their board. For the
men there is very little work, and the
papers are full of suicides on account
during the dull seasons of starvation. -

The bright sunshine Of yesterday
made out-of-doors attractive. and the
presence in the harbor cf the cruiser
New York drew large crowds to the
water front Throughout the afternoon
launch after launch loaded with pa
trioUc sightseers Travelled from shore
70 shin. The fact that the New York
leaves to-day for Panama added TO the
interest Of the occasion, and the cruis-
er's officers, although busy with prepa-
rations for the coming voyage, found
time 10 extend a Christmas welcome
30 all that visited the ship.
The Bennington, also under orders 10

rati0ns Tor sea. although hurried. have
been complete. and Admiral Glass VIII

Tho New York was not the only OBJ

that went out 10 the warship a dozen
raraled the wharves. and the bulkhead
me from Aeiggs wharf 10 the Pacific
Mail dock presented The appearance of
fashionable promenade. The takers,
in evidence every fine sunday, made
the most Of the fresh-air seeking
crowds and appeared 10 be doing quite
an extensive business.
Most 4 the vessels alongside the
W Wharves were dressed in bright bunt-
ing. and nearly every British sailing
ship had a Christmas tree lashed 70
the masthead. A large number Of ap-
prentices from the British ships in port
were entertained at the Seamen's In

spicuous by their absence from one end

Goose for the Mhin.

Senator Quay recently had a brace
of fine ducks. So had Speaker Can
non, Payne and Dalzell of the House
Tawney of Minnesota likewise had
ducks and other game. They were
part of his perquistes as Republican
whip, and last evening he made merry
at dinner with a party of friends called
in to aid in the consumption of his
aforesaid perquisites.
These large possessions of game all
came about through one of the nim-
rods of the House, Representative
Palmer of Pennsylvania He finds it
pleasant to tramp through the marshes
and waylay the birds of the air. Last
week Mr.. Palmer journeyed south to
Currituck Sound. y. c., while the
Democrats were debating Cuban tariff
schedules ad infnitum. AS the day for
voting approached Mr.. Palmer indited
a message to Mr.. Hawney 1t sim
ply said:
DO you need me?' or words to that
effect.
Not needed. If you have good luck
send a goose" was Tawney's laconic
telegraphic answer.
The Pennsylvania absentee turned
up in Washington the next day laden
With game. He had taken good care
to secure a goose, and withal many fat
ducks. The goose, of course. was for
Tawney, the whip, who had treated
him so handsomely, and there was a
brace of ducks in the bargain, with
enough left over to provide amply for
the other statesmen already noted
