that they tore it down So in remem-
bering Christ's birth, we should not
indulge in those things that Christ
came to destroy, or those which are
displeasing to him. In fact, we should
indulge in nothing that we would not
| do were He personally present in our
midst, On the other hand, we should
make it time of doing what He
would do and cherishing the prinei-
pies He taught.
l believe Christmas should be a
time of joy, freed as far as possible
from sin. l believe it should be a
time of unselfish giving of gifts.
There is no reason why friends should
not remember friends, but often we
give these expecting returns. We
should go further and initiate the
spirit of Christ, by distributing to the
poor, from whom we expect no re
turns. except the smile of our Heaven
Fly Father l will further say that we
should not stop at simply seeing that
the poor have necessities, but we
should see that they likewise have
joys, as well as others.

NOT A GAME BUTCHER
It was TO Secretary Walcott. Of the SMITH
sonian Institution that Mr.. Roosevelt first IN
folded the tentative plans for his African trip
In letter to the secretary he made known MS
proiect of going. after his term of office ex-
nired m Africa for the purpose of hunting and
travelling in British and German East Africa
crossing Uganda and working down the Niie'
with side trips after animals and birds. He de-
clared then that he is not in the least game
butcher saying: = like to do a certain amount
of hunting but my real and main interest Is the
interest of a faunal naturalist"
In his letter he expressed the opinion that this
trim opened the best chance for the Cnted
States National Museum to get fine collection
not only of the big game beasts but OF the
smaller mammals and birds Of Africa, and ought
not to be neglected.
The President offered TO take with him sew
eral professional field naturalists and taxider-
rnists. who should prepare and send back the
specimens he is TO collect. the collection TO go
to the National Museum. The President said
that as an ex-President he should feel that that
institution is the museum TO which his cOllec-
ton should 60. While he would pay the ex-
penses Of himself and his son, he felt that he
had not the means that would enable him to pay
for the raturalists and their kit and the curing
and transport Of the specimens for the museum
All he desired TO keep would be a few personal
trophies Of little scientific value. He said the
actual hunting of big game he would want to
do himself or have his son do.
Seeing the value Of the Presidents proposition
Secretary walcott Immediately set to work Sc
lecting men to form the party. He decided that
three men should form the Smithsonian 1nst-
tution's portion of the party. The necessary
funds for the Smithsonlan's share of the ex-
pense were secured from source which has not
been revealed. 1t is stated that no part Of these
funds was derived from any government appro-
priation or the income of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition That it was advanced by some one in
terested in science there is no doubt, and there
have been reports that il was donated by An
drew Carnegie
In selecting the four men to accompany Mr..
Roosevelt, the best men in the scores Of natural
lists of the country were selected. 1t was de-
cided that Major Edgar A. Mearns, of the medi-
cal corps Of the United States army, retired

Doubtful Identity,

Cricket is the national game Of En-
gland, and it would no more help one
to identify an Englishman by saying
that he vas a cricket player than it
would to distinguish a college man in
this country to say that he was de-
voted to baseball. In his book on the
game, Kings of Cricket" Richard
Daft relates many amusing things of
the sport and of men who have been
connected with it. One of his stories
is about two Nottingham players of a
common family name with similar mi
tials.
We had two players Of the name of
Johnson, one being John Johnson, for
years the secretary of our county
team, and the other Isaac Johnson.
AS John Johnson's initial was near
ly always written as an 81" confusion
arose concerning the individuality of
the two players.

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess OF Muscle May
Prove Injurious.

l. &Ah 14CC%R VA w usCAC may
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by a period of athletic
training a man can lay in a stock Of
health and strength upon which he
can draw later while engaged in a
sedentary occupation. The truth is
that the big muscles and hypertro-
phied heart of the athlete are peril
Gus possessions for the man who no
longer has the time or the inclination
for using them. When he stops the
exercises by which he gained them,
instead Of simply returning to their
original size they suffer one or an
other Of the many forms of d~egenera-
ton and become incapable of per-
forming their original services.
1t Is not quite true that all exer-
else for its own sake Is harmless, for
1t is well to be prepared for the meet
ing Of life's little emergencies as well
as its ordinary and daily demands,
but 1t probably is true that, the emer-
gencies apart, every man does enough
in going about his customary business
and pleasure to keep himself in the
condition which that business and
pleasure demand and that anything
besides is superf1uous or Injurious.
That athletics take one into the open
air is less a commentator of ath-
letics than an Indictment of our
houses, Offices and stores for lack of
adequate ventilation. If all the air
we breathe was pure air we could get
along we'll enough without any open
air at all. Any man who has the
muscle he needs for doing the things
he wants to do and should do has all
the muscle he ought to have. To ac-
quire more is a silly waste Of time
and perflous besides. = New York

OF all the physical acts Of the hui
man being, walking Is one of the most
common. And yet no accomplishment
is more are than the ability to walk
correctly. Not one person in 500
walks properly. They stagger, they
totter, they swagger, they zigzag; with
resonant heels they kick the unoffend-
ing sidewalk as If it were their dead
lest enemy. And then at the end Of
a short walk they wonder why they
are SO tired out.
Now as a matter of fact to walk
correctly, which means easily, grace
fully and without fatigue-to walk in
such a way is not difficult If one will
pay a little attention to the matter.
To walk properly only two things are
necessary: First, an erect carriage Of
the body; second, f1exibility Of the
Joints and muscles. The erectness Of
carriage and the bodily fexibility Of
the joints a be gained by any one
through persistent practice.

In the starlight, in the starlight, let US

For there's nothing in the daylight
half so dea to you and me;
Like the fairies in the shadows Of the
woods We'll steal along,
our sweetest lays we'll MARBLE, for
the night was made for song;
When o n are by to listen, or to chide
us in our glee;
In the starlight, in the starlight let US

In the starlight, in the starlight let US

In the starlight, In the starlight, let US

In the starlight, in the starlight, at the
daylight's dewy close,
When the nightingale is singing his
last love-song to the rose,
the calm, clear night of summer,
when the breezes softly play,
From the glitter of our dwelling we
will gently steal awayis
Where the silv'ry waters murmur, by
the margin of the sea.
In the starlight, in the starlight, we
will wander gay and free;
In the starlight, In the starlight, we
will wander in the starlight,
In the starlight, in the starlight, we

Self-Coufrol,

The ~se1f-control of the Japanese
even in times of the utmost stress, and
their courtesy, which begets quietness
and discretion, are both brought out
by a writer in st. Paul's Magazine.
CRY. 1t will do you good" I said
once to a poor japanese woman, who,
crouching beside her dying husband.
was controlling herself with an effort
that would, l feared, make her Ill.
She laid her little slim brown finger
upon her trembling red lip and shook
her head, then whispered, "It might
disturb him"
Cry. 1t will do you good" I said
the next day, when the nan was dead,
and she seemed almost PROSTATE with
grief and over-enforced self-control.
ct would be most rude to make a
hideous noise before the sacred dead"
came the soft reply.
