They are dead which sought the
young cbild's life.-Matt. 2:2o.
The first Christmastide was not the
joyous season IL Is popularity supposed
10 have been.
The song of the angels was\ foi-
lowed by the threats and mutterings
OF evil men against the Babe of Beth
lehem. The visit of the Magi aroused
in Herod fear and jealousy. plot to
take the life OF the newborn King OF
the Jews was Immediately SCI on foot.
Joseph took the Child and His mother
and fed. The fact is, the days imme-
diateiy preceding and following that
first Christmas day were among the
very darkest in the lives of Mary and
Joseph.
The winter journey from Nazareth
10 Bethlehem must have been TO Mary,
under the circumstances, a wearisome
and painful one. And at It's end even
such care and rest and comfort as an
inn might afford were denied her, ana
lodgings In stable were the best that
could be found.
Let any woman imagine herseif In
Mary's place, and she will understand
what must have been her anguish ana
humiliation. | doubt IL the visit or
the shepherds quite dispelled her
anxious thoughts, or the song OF the
angels quite made her forget the
shame she felt because OF her sur
roundings. imagine that it was not
until after the lapse of many years
that Mary could look back with JOY
and gratitude upon that first Christ
mas night
Every Real Gift a Sacrifice.
The experience of Mary is the eX-
perience OF the world. Some sacrifice
must go into the gift that brings n
lasting joy.
Is there a pleasure in your life

or some one else. labor and sacrifice?
There is no privilege or possession
that YOU can claim as wholly your

gone the toll Of others. Remember

Strinuinu Pearls.

The owner of any beads valuable
for their own worth or their associa-
lions might well take a lesson from
the pearl stringers. Their cardinal
principal is to tie a firm knot between
each two pearls. Then if the string
breaks no more than one pearl can
be lost. This applies just as well to
other beads. I know of one girl who
lost nearly all of a valuable string of
coral by not taking this precaution.
The string broke in the street and
most of the beads rolled into the gut
ter and down the sewer before the
owner or the soystanders could get
them again.
Neither wire nor catgut is good for
the Stringing of any Jewels where a
stiff appearance is out of place. In
stead. either surgeons silk-Wf1ich is
woven like braid instead of twisted
and comes in several numbered thick
nesses-or finely and flexible woven
gold or platinum chains are used
Really the silk is the more desirable of
the two.
In str1nging any precious beads, and
pearls especially, never use a needle.
Simply wax the end of the silk and
PASS it through the hole. The knotting
rs also an important point. Tt must be
large enough to hold the bead, but not
large enough to show. Pearl stringers
use an intricate knot of their own and
that is why it is on the whole. bet
ter to have very expensive jewels
strung by a professional When there
is a collarette or something of the
sort to be made this is absolutely nee
eSSary

With his usual frankness the presi-
dent Of the great railroad corporation
gives his answer which is in effect that
he does not object but he submits that
such a tribunal ought to have the in
pendence, impartiality and ability
which for many generations have
characterized our courts of justice, and
also that it ought not to exercise func-
tons which are properly legislative in
their nature, but ought on the other
hand to decide without arbitrarfness
between the parties to each contfo-
versy, according to justly -estab lished
principles and rules of law. That is
certainly a reasonable view to take of
this important matter and one for
which Mr.. Mellen will be commended.

The Death of a Trust.

Not all the trusts are successful. Not
very many of them, in fact make for
tunes for those who hold stock in
them. The coast of the country of
finance is streWn with the wrecks of
once powerful craft launched under
the most favorable circumstances by
eminent captains of industry who
generally managed to feather their
own nests pretty well by the proceeds
of fiotation. The list is longer than
that moral law their sponsors so often
defied.
The latest combination to suffer ad-
versity is the Standard Cordage com
pany, the rope trust SO called, which
is soon to be dissolved voluntarily as
petitioned for by the directors The
concern has a large deficit and a bond
Indebtedness that its property will only
fractionally pay off. The thing is a
CHASTITY ruin of the hopes of many in
vestors who trusted in the value of
important names in the world, but
who did not realize that eminence
does not always mean competence.
Perhaps it is for the good of the
country at large that not all of the
trusts flourish indefinitely. Conditions
of life might be intolerable if they
held every commodity in their grip. No
tears therefore, need be shed over the
smash of the rope trust save by
those who have been financially hurt
by the disaster.-Boston Post.

THE coUNTRYs OUTPUT FOR
FUEL.

About third of the wood con-
suned annually in this country IS
burned, or seven thousand million Gu
bic feet. The latest statistics set
forth the facts as follows:
The total estimated consumption of
firewood is S5,936, sos cords, and of this
10 600. 600 cords, or S1.4 per cent, was
used on the farms; lat per cent. in
the towns and cities with a popula-
ton of from 1000 to 10000; 10 per
cent in cities of over 10000 popula-
ton, and the remaining per cent. in
mineral operations. The average value
per cord of wood used on farms is
1851. and the average in the cities
reaches $6.SS. The total valuation of
this wood is 249,S40.72S an average
value per cord of 1921.
The first census in regard to cord
wood was taken in 1880 and at that
time there were about 146,00o,00o cords
of wood used annually for fuel The
estimated value was 1922, 1000, 900, and
the average value per cord was s2.21.
At that time the population of the
United States was a little over 50,-
100000. 1t was in 1908 over S6,000,0o0
The use of wood for fuel, therefore,
has not only decreased in per capita
consumption, but in actual quantity.
In the past quarter of a century
there has been a tremendous increase
in the amount of coal consumed, the
consumption for last year being six
times as great as in 1880. The differ
ence in tons is 71,4S1, $40 in 1880, to
415,s42,6 SOS short tons in 1908. With
an increase of about 36,00O,000 in the
population 1T is not surprising that the
rapidly increasing demand for coal
keeps the prices high.
