NO STAR TO GUIDE.
The Possibility that Escaped the
Women of Bethlehem.

WOuch VI o6yulcu0lus
The child born in the stable OF
Bethlehem, because there was nc
room for them in the inn," was her
aided by angels to the shepherds and
by star to the wise men; but nc
voice told the mothers of Bethlehem
of the wonder which was happening
in their town that night.
Suppose some gentle woman had
met Joseph and Mary on that Won
derful Day, as they entered the town,
and had said to them: "Our streets
are full of homeless strangers. Come
you and bide with me-" BY that sim
pie act of hospitality, her name
would have been written high, high
among the names of earth's happiest
folk. Blessed is she," we should
have cried, Ito whose home the
Christmas joy first camel" But the
women of the Judean town did not
know to throw wide their doors and
bring in the worlds gratitude and
love, says the Youths Companion. So
the Child was laid in a manager, and
oblivion holds the names of all the
women in Bethlehem who slept that
night beneath the wings of wonder
ings angels. Had they but known!
Year by year, for 10 centuries the
story of the night at Bethlehem has
been told and retold. To-day no
household In Christendom, in town or
village or in distant prairie can plead
the ignorance in which Bethlehem
then lay. If the door is shut on
the Christ-child to-day, it is not from
lack of knowledge, but from chur-
lishness or Indifference.
The Christmas spirit speaks in
many voices. The sprig of holly or
the plum pudding, the tree laden with
gifts or the cheer for the lonely
these are all the worlds way of say
ing to the Mother and the Holy Child,
abide with us!"
Barred out alike from cottage and
palace and inn in Palestine, the Hope
of the World renews his appeal each
Christmas-tide to our modern Chris
tian world. By the very pathos of the
first Christmas, the heart is softened
and prepared to give him welcome.
To-day there is no heralding angel or
guiding star.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him
still,
The dear Christ enters in.

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

The earth has grown old with it's bur-
den of care,
But at Christmas it always is
young,
The heart of the jewel burns lustrous
and fair,
And it's soul full of music bursts forth
on the air,
When the song of the angels is
sung.
1t is coming, Old Earth, it is coming
tonight!
On the snow-f1akes which cover thy
sod
The feet of the Christ-child fall gentle
and white,
And the voice of the Christ-child tells
out with delight
That mankind are the children of
God.
On the sad and the lonely, the
wretched and poor,
The voice of the Christ-child shall
fall;
And to every blind wanderer open the
door
OF hope that he dared not to dream
of before,
With sunshine of welcome for all.
The feet of the humblest may walk in
the field
Where the feet of the holiest trod,
This, then, is the marvel to mortals
revealed
When the silvery trumpets of Christ
mas have pealed,
That mankind are the children of
God.

Edward Hatch, of Lord & Taylor,
and Chairman of the Committee on
Water Pollution of the Merchants
Association, of New York, started
last Saturday his campaign for the
coming season against the house fly
by displaying to group of physi-
clans, educators, health officers and
settlement workers at No. 10 East
Twenty-frst street, that city, twelve
minutes of moving picture films of
flies as they normally are occupied.
The films were made by means of
microphotography by London firm.
This was their first exhibition in this
country.
Flies were shown depositing eggs
in the meat waiting for dinner. AL
though only half dozen or so layers
engaged in this job, each deposited
more than 100 eggs, as appeared
when the film pictured the progress
of Matching and the successive de-
velopments Of birth, growth and ar
rival at mature age.
How flies carry infection was IL
lustrated by views of them feasting
on refuse and worse, cleaning their
snouts and wiping their feet on the
sugar to which they adjourned for
dessert. and inspecting at close
range the nipple of a baby's feeding
bottle.

TEN HOUR DAY ON LEH1GH.

Railroad and lie Engineers Agree as to
Wages and Hours.
New York, Dec. 21.-The Lehigh Val
ley Railroad company has made an
agreement covering the wages and
conditions Of work of its employees
for one year, beginning Jan. 1.
The contract just signed gives the
men a v orking day of ten hours.
Heretofore the working day on the
Lehigh Valley has been twelve hours,
whereas the ten hour rule has pre-
vailed upon the other railroads in the
same territory,
The reduction in hours is the princi-
pal adjustment made in the present
agreement. Questions in relation to
the classification of the heavier en-
gines and other minor points also were
adjusted.

Adopt Different Schedules.

New York, Dec. 21.-Will there be

series next fall? Persons familiar
with the inside machinery OF the
game are prone to the belief tnat un-
less the two major leagues change
their plans the public will be de-
priyed of a test between the pennant
winners.
The National league has voted to
play schedule of 1853 games next
year. the season opening on or about
April ID and ending on or about Oct.
Is. The American league, on the
other hand, has decided upon 154
games, opening on or about April IA
and closing Oct. or 7.
1t is believed to be a sure thing
that the American league will not re-
cede from its present position, and 1t
is also a certainty that the team win
ming the American league pennant
will decline to take part in worlds
series after remaining idle six or
seven days while the National league
champions were finishing their part
