Christmas.

With this night comes the celebra-
ton of the hottest event in all history,
from which dates the advent of Chris
tianity with the birth of the Savior
From Bethlehem to Calvary.
This is the period that marks all
there is in life.
1t is well that the world should re-
joice, be uplifted and inspired by all
that the lesson teaches.
From the babe just beginning to use
its senses to the patriarch who has
witnessed the realities of life's brief
span, Christmas brings equal delight!
1t is the day of rejoicing. the day of
gratitude far beyond the human heart
to express, the day of praise to God
and of peace and good will among men.
There is none so poor that he may
not have joy and praise in his heart
at Christmas. none SO poor that he
may not realize that to him it is a
gift more precious than the world can
beStow
Christmas is the day of all the year
for good cheer.
Let all be cheerful.
A Merry Christmas to all.

Using Less Tobacco.

An official of the tobacco trust, ties
tifying before special commissioner
in New York. made a statement. sup
ported by statistics gathered from the
company's books. that will doubtless
cause much surprise to the general
of this official, the use of tobacco is
rapidly decreasing in this country
The books of the trust show that while
the business of growing tobacco has
increased steadily in this country. and
the manufacture of tobacco products
year. the American people are using
less of the weed than ever before and
the decrease in domestic consumption
is becoming more marked every year.
The profits in the business now come
from the export trade. which is grow
ing constantly.
The casual observer will find it diff
cult to accept the statement of the
trusts representative, although the re-
port of the commissioner OF internal
revenue tends to support the state
ment Little is heard these days
against the use of tobacco. although
it is not many years since the young
man who used the weed in any form
was classed just a little below the
drunkard. There has been consider
able apparently deserved agitation and
legislation against the use of cigar
cites. but smoking has become almost
n universal habit among men and little
or no objection is raised to it on moral
grounds. The only explanation, there
fore. of the decrease in the use of to
bacco in the country must be placed
on the ground, that it is injurious tc
health.

Salt.

In connection with the name salt a
curious fact is TO be noted. Salt was
formerly regarded as compound re-
sulting from the union of hydrochloric
Tor. as it used to be called. muriatic)
acid and soda. and hence the generic
term of salt was applied TO all sub
stances produced by the combination
of Il base with an acid.
Sir Humphry Davy. however. show
ed that during their action on each
other both the acid and the alkali un-
derwent decomposition and that. while
water is formed by the union of the
oxygen of the alkali and the hydrogen
of the acid, the sodium of the former
combines with the chlorine of the lat
ter>to form chloride of sodium. and
this term is the scientific designo ton
OF salt which. paradoxical as ~ may
seem. is not salt. At one time near
ly the whole of the salt used as food
and for industrial purposes was oh
tanned from the sea. and In many coun-
tries where the climate is dry and
warm aud which have a convenient
seaboard great quantity of salt is
still obtained.
