When the most advanced portion oil

amazing amount OF persistent labor

reached such pitch In Great Britain
that 81 persons out of every thousand

a third vital fact peers out OF the
Commissions report; namely. that
miscellaneous or casual laborers. l. e.,
those who have been driven by tho
improved machine from the position
of skilled workmcn, or have been
prevented by the division OF labor
from learning q trade, furnished 81

furnished 16 and $40 per cent ant

the engineering, shipbullding and

Finally, a fourth and momentous
fact Is revealed that a majority OF
the unemployed are In the very prime
of life. In London only . per cent
OF the unemployed seeking relief were
under 90 OF over GO years of age. and
the enormous proportion OF 81 pei

EXTRACTS FROM ANCIENT soCl.

ETY..
" A critical knowledge OF the eyolu-
ton of the idea of property would
embody. In some respects, the most
remarkable portion of the mental his
tory of mankind
The latest investigations respect
ing the early conditions of the human
lace are tending TO the conclusion
that mankind commenced their car
Ger at the bottom of the scale and
worked their way up from savagery
TO civilization through the slow ac-
cumulation of experimental knowl-
edge"
Since the advent of civilization.
the outgrowth of property has been
SO immense, its forms so diversified.
its uses so eXpendlng and It's manage
ment so intelligent In the interest
OF its owners, that it has become, on
the part of the people. an unmanage-
able power. The human mind stands
bewildered in the presence of It's own
creation The time will come, never
theless, when human intelligence will
rise TO the mastery over property, and
define the relations of the state 20
the property 1t protects, as we'll as the
obligations and the limits of the right
of its owners. The interests of So
ciety are 50 paramount to individual
interests, and the two must be
brought into just and harmonious re-
lations- A mere property career is
not the final destiny of mankind. IL
progress is to be the law of the fu-
ture as 1t has been of the past. The
time which has passed away since
civilization began Is but a fragment
o; the past duration of mans exist
ence: and but a fragment of the ages
yet to come. The dissolution of So
ciety bids fair to become the termina-
ton of career of which property is
the end and aim, because such
career contains the elements of self
destruction"

The Glamor of Distance.

1t is often amusing to see how
people will deceive themselves into
thinking that they get better goods
by going away from home. People
will go to the big cities, join in the
department store mob to the loss
OF their time and temper, carry
heavy bundles about the streets and
into the trains, and return with ar
ticles that could be had just as well
at home. Examined BY the sober
light of secord thought, they often
prove unsatisfactory, but bought at
a distance they can't be returned,
save perhaps by q prohibitive amount
of time and trouble. People do not
always stop to think that the mer-
chants in their home towns have
made marvellous advances within a
few years. They are as keenly alive
to the need of keeping up with the
fashions as anyone. They have reg
ular clearance sales to get rid OF
old goods, and it is no more pos
.sible for them to carry back NAM
ber styles than it is for the big city
competitor. Therefore. why not pat
ronize the home merchant, who will
sec to it that you get satisfaction If
the goods are not what Is represent

The Christmas Oratorio.

More than a century and half
have flown since the great Christ
mas oratorio, Handel's Messiah, !"
was written, but the music, like
the theme, will never die. Rather,
like its theme again, it grows more
popular with the passing years. 1t
was first given in Dublin for the
cause of charity, for Handel had q
specially warm spot in his heart for
the Irish people. and he was never
happier than when helping the poor
and needy. When writing the ora
torio, which has for Its theme the
advent of the Messiah, it seemed
as ir Handel was inspired. SO
transported was his soul that he
says .I did think I saw all heaven
before me, and the great God him
self" The sublime grandeur OF the
Hallelujah Chorus touches the emo
tlons Of we'll night every hearer. AS
is we'll known the audience invari-
ably rises when this chorous is sung.
This custom dates back to the first
time George II of England heard it.
He was so affected by the wondrous
majesty Of it's music that he leaped
to his feet and remained standing,
he*audience, Of course following
example. Many hundreds OF choirs
in America and England repeat the
joyful and sublime strains of the
