CHRlSTMAs 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 its soul full Of music breaks forth
on the air, .-
When the song of the angels is
: It is coming, old earth, it is coming
IN tonight;
10y m the snowfakes that covered thy
y sod
The feet of the Christ-child fall gentle
and white,
And the voice Of the Christ-child tells
out through the night
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; .ft,
And to every blind wanderer open the
door
OF hope that he dared not to dream
Of before.
With q sunshine OF welcome for all.
The feet of the humblest may walk in
the field
Where the feet of the hottest have
trod3 .-
This, this is the marvel to mortals
revealed
When the silvery trumpets of Christ
mas have pealed
That mankind are the children OF

She had never heard any good

BLESSING THE RIVER JORDAN

OF the numerous religious ceremo-
nies which may be witnessed in the
Holy Land none, perhaps, is so pic
turesque and impressive as the Greek
ceremony of the blessing of the Jor-
dan, which takes place at Epiphany
The spot selected for the blessing IS
that known the the Pilgrims ford,
where. it is said, Christ was baptized.
Hundreds of pilgrims crowded the
western bank Of the sacred stream,
where tents and dressing sheds are
erected for their convenience. At the
appointed hour the archbishop of the
Jordan, with his attendant priests and
.deacons, all gorgeously appareled, ap-
pear in the stream in their frail craft,
from which the service is conducted.
This consists in the reading of the
Scriptures having reference to the
baptism OF Christ, followed by appro-
pirate prayers. Then, as the bishop
drops the cross into the water and
the blessing is pronounced, a great
shout rends the air and hundreds of
men and women, clad in white robes,
plunge into the sacred stream.

PERFUMES FROM CHEMICALS

There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals,
synthetically, as the chemists call it.
Formerly all perfumes were extract
ed from flowers, fruits, spices, woods
Or other vegetables and animal sub
stances. The first perfume to be i'm
itated was vanilla, in 1876 Hello
tropine followed, being obtained by OK
idation OF a byproduct of camphor
Terpinol Is one of the most freely
used constituents of perfumes. This
is near relation of turpentine. With
this, a little oil. and aqua fortis, a
chemist can produce perfume that
can scarcely be distinguished from
those exhaled by the lily of the val
ley, lilac, and cape jessamine, vary
ing according to the proportions IN
which the chemicals are blended. Ar
ttf1cial violet is a combination of citroi
(an essence extracted from lemon),
Indian vervaine, or lemon verbena.
with common acetone, a substance
very like pyroligneous acid. Most or
the cheap perfumes are limitations,
and they are almost always inferior
to the flower extracts. So it might
properly be said that it is wise flow
er that knows its own perfume.
