letters OF love to Rachel; thesiittie box
beside them held well known tur-

on top. surely she might see that again
after all these many years.
Half guiltily she lifted 1t and held it
in the light, eagerly scanning the face.
Then. with little sob, she sank on
her knees, the picture still clasped in
her hand, her hidden face resting on
her arms.
Silently thus the minutes passed, yet
Miss Emily took no heed. And so
Miss Rachel. coming home to dark

tie later.
For moment she stood In the door

vanced swiftly to her side.

Miss Emily sprang to her feet as II
suddenly walked from a dream. One
hand still held the photograph. but
after an instant she dropped II on the
desk. and. clasping her hands, she
cried In low, passionate voice--a new
voice to Miss Rachel:
"oh, Rachel. Rachel, forgive met
He did not know: he never. never
dreamed IT, You, you only. had his
life and all Of II. and. oh, could not
help it, Surely have suffered enough,
and never, never meant 60 wrong
you"
Miss Rachel stood so stiIl she might
have been carved Of stone, too terribly
bewildercd for the simplest form Of
thought But her sister went on with
her passionate pleading.
Cant you forgive me. Rachel, when
he never, never knew and you had all
his lover"
Miss Raehel's voice trembled.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
SERVICE HELD
Pleasure Of Giving strikingIy Ex-
empIified At Columbia St.
Baptist Church.

In spite Of the very cold and dis.
agreeable weather. the Christmas Civ
ing Service" of the Columbia Street
Baptist Sunday School, Sunday morn
ing, was well attended and was q
marked success. and exemplified in q
striking manner the pleasure and real
joy Of giving.
Twenty young men. each carrying
twenty-four pound sack Of -four,
marched down the aisle. They were
followed by class of older men, each
man struggling with two-bushel sack
OF potatoes, and then came class after
class, down to the little two and three.
year-old tots, each member bearing
some good, substantial gift, and each
knowing that some cheerless home
would be frightened, some burdened
hearts lightened and made glad.
1t was fine idea; it was a beau.

tear-dimmed eyes, and men and WON.

PAPER MONEY LONG IN USE
Idsa That This PartIcuIsr Medium sf
Currency 10 New, 10 krre-
roneeus.

Paper money-properly guaranteed
is now generally recognized through
out the world as the most satisfactory
and convenient form Of currency. It
is not. however, as is very generally
supposed. comparatively modern
idea.
The celebrated traveller, Marco Pau
10 Of Venice, was the first person to
announce to Europe the existence of
paper money in China under the mo-
guls. 1t was subsequently introduced
by the moguls into Persia, where
their notes were called djaou, or
djaw. word evidently derived from
the Chinese word schaio, signifying
- want Of specie"
The fact of the moguls having In
China and Persia made use Of paper
money has induced the belief that
they were the originators of 1t. But
in the history of Tchinghiz-khan and
Of the mogul dynasty in China, pub
lished in the year 1888, the author
speaks of the suppression of the pa
per money, which was in use under
the dynasty Of the Soung, who reigned
in China previous to the moguls, and
he also mentions q new species Of
notes which were substituted for the
old In the year 1864.
The>original financial speculation Of
the Chinese ministry to provide for
the extraordinary expenditures of the
stats, which were exceeding the reve-
nues, was In the year 110 B. G. At
this period were introduced the phi-pi.
or value in skins. These were small
pieces Of the skin Of deer. which were
kept In pen within the palace walls.
They were Chinese square foot in
sise and were beautifully ornamented
With painting and embroidery. The
price Of those skins Was flxsd ct q
sum equal to about te5.

Progression In Language.

1t is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant "perspire"
drove out the vulgar Sweat" Accord.
ing to a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine in 1871, "for some time past
neither man, woman nor child in
Great Britain and Ireland, of any rank
or fashion, has been subject to the
gross form of exudation which was
formerly known as sweat Now ev-
cry mortal, except carriers, coal hea-
vers and charmen, merely 'perspire.'
For these 20 years past the word
sweat has been gradually becoming
more and more odious." Before ITO
or so "perspiration" commonly meant
an insensible process, "sweating' the
grosser variety thereof. In one of his
sermons Wesley remarked that dur.
ing a nights sleep healthy man pers-
pires one part in four less when he
sweats than when he does not" That
would be meaningless to-day.

to yield TO the demands and ~
rights of other children in the -
family nest. He does not know -
there are any other rights than -
his own. He never has to wear -
the made-over clothes Of the -
older members of the flock. In -
fact, he does not know what it is -
not to have his own way. -
Imagine this child, boy or girl. ~
growing up under this regimen -
and marrying. If he or she be of -
an unusually sweet, sunny, un- -
selfish disposition, they may -
emerge from such a childhood un- -
scathed. Even then when the -
actual necessity arises Of yield -
ing to another or sharing pre- -
cious possessions, the unusual -
ness of it, the very lack of exper- -
fence in the sensation may find -
even the best tempered disposi- -
tion unready. With the average -
person. the odds are all against -
his making good yokefellow in -
the matrimonial harness. -
Selfishness ia not a good quail -
fication for happy married life. -
And the only child is in most -
cases selfish, and, when crossed, -
peevish. sulky or ill-tempered. a. -
happens to be his disposition. -
With the best intentions in the -
world. one cannot correct these -
faults all at once. They are sure -
to cause friction which may grow -
into serious trouble. The one -
who marries the usual only child -
had better prepare for breakers -
ahead or be willing to follow in -
the footsteps Of the doting par. -
ents and indulge the other to his -
utmost whim. Neither alterna- -
tive is a pleasant outlook for -

~ 1t is easy to spoil children
- even when there are several; it
