The Christmas Star.

A little star, ell undismayed,
Stepped down the dusky ways of night
White footed, smiling. unafraid,
It passed the orbs of greater light.
1t held its slender taper high,
The tiny splendors piercing far.
It knew it's time to shine was nigh,
For. 10, it was the Christmas start
A little child knelt in the dark,
With clear eyes raised and lifted face
She saw the tiny travelling spark
Move on from its appointed place.
The tears welled so she scarce could see.
It's orb of brightness grew bar.
Mother she cried, cit comes to me!
cit kissed my eyes, the Christmas start"
God knows that both these things are
one
The star that shines, the eye that sees.
The answer to the prayer is shown
Unto the sinner on his knees.
On the long lanes of splintered light
Descends the shining avatar,
But only tears of pure delight
Could bring the holy Christmas star.

Moon Blunders.

The moon. it seems, is responsible
for more authors ''howlers" even than
Baroness Orczy in Pet
ticoat Government draws a beautiful
picture of crescent moon rising over
the treetops in the far eastern sky at
II O'Clock on June evening. The pic
ture is so nice that it is a pity to de-
stroy it, but the invention is prepos-
ferrous. Lucas Malet errs in a similar
fashion in one of her novels. Miss
Stevens in The Veil speaks of the
new moon being seen at sunset pray
err "a thin slip in the east" A little
study would show that when the moon
rises at sunset it must necessarily be
Il full moon or nearly so. In the same
book the full moon rises and sets again
within Il period of two hours. whereas

Caring For His Health.

Not many people guard their health
SO carefully as Sir Tatton Sykes. who
In winter wore five or six coats when
out riding and shed some of them as
he became warmer. Prince POutiakine,
however. took even stronger precau
tons against illness. If there was a
touch of cold in the air he had fires lit
in his grounds before venturing to
stroll in them. His waistcoats were
made in two separate pieces. joined at
the sides by buttons. SO that he could
take them off or put on additional ones
without removing his coat. If caught
in a shower he sheltered himself with
an umbrella nearly two feet wide,
which came down below his waist and
was pierced with little windows. In
very hot weather the prince wore boots
coated with tin as a protection against
mad dogs. and carried sponges soake
with vinegar in his shirt front to ward
off unpleasant smells. - Manchester

What Makes Flowers Blue.

VI all the many substances that are
confined to make flower what is
the particular one to which is due the
blue. red or yellow color? Why, for
example. are gentians blue and roses
req, and why has no one ever seen a
red gentian or blue rose? The chem
list can tell us. Taking the plants that
produce really blue-not violet-fow-
ers. he considers which of their con-
sdtuents is peculiar to them. True
blue exists in veronicas. salvias, YER
benas. basil. solanum, penstemon. ne
mophlla. convolvulus. borage. hounds
tongue and in all the orders allied to
the gentianaceae and compositae. but
never In lupins, vetches, peas. gerani-
ums, hollyhocks. primulas, roses. bal
sans, flax. etc. All the blue produc-
ing plants just named have tannin in
them which does not exist in the 9th
ers. This is called caffetannin. 1t is
found in coffee. but not in tea. Tea
contains another form of tannin, which
is the same as that which makes ca
mellias red.-Exchange.
