'Observances Of Christnas,' by

LETTER WRITING.
N~ Decline as an Art Caused by the
Modern NeWspnpCr.


Modern Newspapers.
The wonderful development Of the
newspaper may be looked upon as a
very potent factor in the decline Of let
ter writing rs an art. The letter no
longer can be regarded as primarily
the carrier CT news. The expression Of
ones opinion about great contemporary
events is indeed still left to the letter,
but how much Of an incentive to
friendly correspondence Is lost by the
fact that every part Of the world
knows Of important happenings almost
simultaneously Is not to be lightly cs-
timated, says Gunton's Magazine. The
stimulus to writing that comes from
having news" to impart is done away
with, and it Is not always that even
the gifted letter writer can afford to
lose that incitant. 1t is only the CORE
spondcnt par excellence who knows
how to attain the perfection Of his art
by writing delightfully."- Of nothing, If
indeed that may be called nothing
which affords him means for the en-
ployment Of his delicate perceptions
For the saving quality Of the genuine
letter is in the ability Of It's author to
put himself into it. II he writes about
trivial things he does it with a grace
Of interest that disguises the triviality.
He must not make his little fishes talk
like whales, but he should. as Gold
smith himself knew how to do, make
his letters Of perpetual interest be-
cause Of the aptness Of their style to
the simplicity Of their thought.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked-In what
way are Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary
cathartic and liver pills? Our answer
is-They are easier and more pleasant
to take and their effect is so gentle and
so agreeable thati one hardly realizes
that it is produced by a medicine.
Then they not only move the bowels
but improve the appetite and aid the
digestion. For sale at 25 cents per

SPANKING MACHINE.
Almost Kills its Inventor While he is
Making Test.

Anoka (Minn) Cor Chicago Ameri-
can.
Harvey Miller, a farm hand,
working for J. E. Reynolds, pros
porous farmer at Cedar Point,
few miles west of here, was spanked
almost to death by machine of his
own contrivance.
Miller who is an inventor, dis
covered mother help machine.
1t consists Of series of phono-
graphs to be set in each room Of the
house. On pressing a button any
one of the monographs desired will
call out: "stop that, Robert, and be
a good boy" Or will yell out: eff
you aren'ta good boy mamma will
whip you" The device is worked
by electricity and is supposed to
relieve the mother of much running
to and fro after her offspring, and
to make the latter behave.
Miller has also graduated spank
ing attachment. The person to be
spanked is strapped flat down on a
board, while strong hardwood
paddle operated by an electric motor
does the work. Two dials control
the mechanism. On the dial are
printed ages from to 16, SO that
the force of the blows can be regu-
lated accorded to the age. On the
other are the words, light, fair,
good, hard, serious, - to correspond
with the offence for which punish
ment is to be inflicted.
Miller had finished the mechanic
ism last night, and after vainly at
tempting to secure friend to try it
had himself strapped down on a
board while a number Of friends
operat ed the works. The padding
wao started at 2, slight, and gradual
ly turned Oh until age 16, serious
was reached.
Miller was by this time roaring
for mercy and promising to be good
while the onlookers were rolling on
the floor, Doubled up in laughter,
not knowing that Miller, the i'll
ventor, had been terribly punished.
Millers strength was rapidly
failing when his friends noted his
condition, but not being familiar
with the machine were unable to
make it stop.
Miller had lost consciousness
when someone released the buckles
Of the straps which held him down
and rescued him.
Miller's first act on regaining his
senses was to destroy the mothers

/ Sir William Hamilton said, "Of goods
or absolute ends there are but two
perfection and happiness" Ii seems
impossible for us to separate these.
Whoever gets one is sure to find he
holds the other No happiness is pos
sible without some degree of excellence,
and no gain In excellence is made but
1t brings a corresponding degree Of en-
| joyment and satisfaction.
The important thing is to settle our
aim and decide what we shall under
! take to gain, and then, when we have
chosen our course, make steady effort
to reach the goal. Too many lives are
failures because they never started for
anywhere in particular. Drifting may
perhaps win in a yacht race, but doubt
less 1t never will in the race for eternal
life. No one ever yawned good deed
into being. Wishes are not horses, and
so beggars do not ride now or hitherto.
On the tombstone of Maine, the great
English jurist, is cut no Greek or Latin
motto. but the incisiye English sen
tence, Success is the child of hard
work.
1t is immensely important what kind
of children we shall produce by our
work The same material might make
the statue of Judas or Christ, pal
ace or a prison. From this earth life
we may mold enduring hell or heaven.
What shall this life of mine count
when inished2 This question should
have sober consideration now The
full result no one can prophesy. The
general worth any one can estimate
quite accurately. Which way you are
headed decides where you will fetch up.
1t Is not enough to be always busy.
Some of the busiest people accomplish
the least work What you are at is the
chief matter Better do nothing than
do some things. OF one man at least it
was true sit were better he had never
been born" The same may be true Of
others. Whether it would have been
better for us never to have begun to
live depends on how we live. We may
live nobly If we will. But to do so we
will have to select our course carefully
and keep to 1t persistently.
Conspicuousness is not the test Of
human worth. Success cannot be accu-
rately gagged by the applause of the
crowd Lives that count are not al
ways popular Nero was judge and
Paul the accused prisoner. Both had
made men talk because of their deeds
Both had ideals which they followed
with intense zeal One reached The
highest pinnacle of earthly power anG
pomp and was given divine honors an6
worshiped as a god The other died as
criminal No one now hesitates IL
| deciding which was benefactor of men.
No one Is in doubt as to which life was
high and which was low Both lives
counted, but counted differently.
I'VE are what we make ourselves,
and. had almost said, we may make
ourselves what we will"
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
GIVE diligence to present thyself
approved unto God, workman thai
needeth not to be ashamed"

Faith. Fact and Hope.

The gospel of Christ is religion of
faith, fact and hope. No event illus
trates this more forcibly than the res
direction of Jesus Christ from the
dead BY faith David sang, Thou wilt
not suffer Thy holy one to see corrup
ton" AS to fact, the triumph OF
Christ over death is as well established
an event of history as the surrender of
Napoleon at Sedan or the triumph of
Grant at Appomattox. On that glori
Gus fact rendered immutable by the
caution and testimony of the enemies
of Christ as well as by his subsequent
reappearance, the Christian rests his
hope of ultimate victory DER the grave.
