ORIGIN OF XMAS GREENS.
They Were Used at Christmastide
Five Centuries Ago.

Vhey were Used AT tina
Five Centuries Ago.
The Use of evergreens AT Christmas
time is older than the Christmas tree,
the Christians seeming to have copied
it from their pagan ancestors. In a
very old book we find this reference to
the use of evergreens at Christmas
time: Against the feast of Christmas
every mans house. as also their parish
churches, were decked with holme,
ivie, hayes and whatsoever the season
of the year afforded to be green. The
conduits and standards of the streets
were likewise garnished, among the
which l read that in the year 1414, by
tempest of thunder and lightning, to-
ward the morning of Candlemas day,
at the Leadenhall, in Cornhill, a stand
ard of tree, being set up in the midst
of the pavement, fast in the ground,
nailed full of holme and ivie. for dis
port of Christmas to the people, was
torn up and cast down by the malig-
mani spirit. as vas thought, and the
stones of the pavement all about were
east in the streets and into divers
houses, so that the people were sore
aghast at the great tempest."-Leslie's

for the continued weakness of the Unit ed States Steel stocks. and the dissolu- tion. somewhat in advance of the pre- scribed time. of the pool which endeay- ored to place the securities of the Unit ed States Realty and Construction com pany on the market. Steel common touched a new low record, breaking 20. though subsequently recovering, but the features already named. together with unexpected selling of Atchison for London account were enough to unset tie the list all around. Realty pre- ferred sold down to 35 IA to-day, new low record, and the common sold at 6 IA At their top prices last year these stocks sold at 75 1-2 and B re- spectively. The market was more ac- tive and made general improvement in the, afternoon, practically all of the early losses being recovered. The steel stocks for the first time in several days seemed to receive inside support, notwithstanding bearish trade condition and number of specialties were taken up, apparently for absorption. The list displayed f1rmness at the close. Among L16 important TdlITOau TeluTIS Ol kltS day were the annual reports of the Atchison and St. Paul systems. Atchi- son was the feature of the day, recov- ering from it's early depression and once
 more leading the market. Operations in St. Paul were unimportant. Busi- ness with London was nominal, being retarded by cable interruptions. Ad- vices indicate that anotherkadvance in discount rates may be expected, both from London and Berlin. This it is as stunned is in line with the policy of the leading financial institutions of Europe to discourage gold shipments to this country. The know movements of local currency point to nominal loss by the banks to the sub-treasury. Sterling ex- change was again weak; with further offerings of cotton and grain bills. Later that market made partial recovery.
 The bond market showed some irregu- larity again and the movement either way was extremely narrow. Total sales par value $1,095,0
 United States bonds were all un- changed on the last call.

4 MASS OF SORES.
AWfuI Suffering ofla Boy from am
 Itching Hun1or.
Not One Square Inch of Skin on His

CURED BY cUTgcuRA

]" My little son, 9 boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse, until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try Q certain medical college but it's treatment did not do any good. At the timeI was induced to try Cuticura Remedies he was so bad that I had to cut his hair of and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandageS used to stick to his skin and in remov- ing them it used to take the skin of with them, and the screams from the poor child were heart-breaking. l began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment | began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled of twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. used the Cuticura Resolvent for his blood and now can say that he is entirely cured, and stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day. You can use this testimonial in whatever way you please, and if any proof outside of my word is needed I will refer to any of our neighbors." ROBERT NATHAN,

total of $146,s13,237. The Methodist
Episcopal church, south, is moved to
ask it's people for permanent fund
of $1,000 600. With church property
valued at nearly fivefold that of our
sister church. we should not be salts

be realized if the church is intelli-

the cause have their funds invested in
business enterprises or otherwise, as
the case may be, from which they
may not desire nor could they. with

EXTENDS TO COAST
Chicago Milwaukee, & St Paul
Road Will Make Plans
at Once.
MORE STOCK FOR THE PURPOSE
Object is to Get ON an Equal Foot
ing with the Hill
Lines.

The Chicago, Milwaukee q St. Paul
railroad, which has long been contem-
plating the extension of it's lines to
the Pacific coast, has decided to draw
up plans therefor Immediately. ROs-
well Miller, chairman of the board of
directors, is credited with the state
ment that work on the proposed eX-
tension viii be begun within two
years. The officials of the company,
however, declined to affirm or deny
the reports from Minneapolis which
are claimed to have emanated from
Miller.
1t was for the purpose of making
this extension that an increase of $685.
100000 in the capital stock of the com
pany was authorized about a year
ago. 1t is stated that the delay in is
suing the additional stock was caused
by the traffic arrangement the St. Paul
was able to make with the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific. which plac-
ed il on an equality with the North
western in handling through traffic
to the coast.
Footing Not Equal.
At the present time. however, the
st. Paul officials feel they are not on
equal terms with the Hill roads. and
for that reason are eXerting them
selves to complete an Independent
line to the coast.
