THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM AS
SEEN IN HOLLAND.

The Star of Bethlehem, as seen in
Holland, is a pretty sight. IT'S the
Harbinger of Christmas-a huge illum-
mated star which is carried through
the silent, dark, Dutch streets, shin
ing upon the crowding people, and
typical of the star which once guided
the wise men of the East.
The young men of Dutch town
who go to the expense of this star,
which, carried through the streets, is
the signal that Christmas has come
once again, are swayed by the full
intention of turning the Star of Beth
lehem to account.
They gather money for the poor
from the crowds who come out to well
come the symbol of peace, and hav-
ing done this for the good of those
whom fortune has not befriended,
they betake them to the head burgo-
master of the town, who is bound to
set down the youth who form the
Star company to very comfortable
meal. IT'S a great institution, the
Star of Bethlehem, in many Dutch
towns and cities; and may it never
die out, for it does harm to no man,
and good to many

THE OLD FIRESIDE.

'Tis sittin' by the stove l am, where all

Would never raise blister on baby's
arm tonight;
The wind goes howlin down the street,
as if the imps below,
Were out upon a picnic playin' ball
with ice and snow;
But l am seem in my mind a hearth
stone broad and wide,
And a pile of blazin Irish turf on the
old fireside.
Wan side my mother sits and knits a
stockin' meant for me;
NV fathers in the corner seat, his
paper on his knee
A candle and his specs beside supply
his nightly needs
And granny's prayin, for | hear the
rattle of her beads
And there's myself with naked shins
happy boy beside
The blessed heat and comfort of the
old fireSide.
Sometimes the wind and rain come
down the chimney with shout,
And mother signs the Cross to see the
ashes dance about,
Then father laughs and says, "bedad
the phooka's out tonight"
And granny whispers, "hush, avic

For evermore the comfort of their old
fireside.
The latch keeps liftin' now and then
as neighbors saunter in,
With many kind God save all here,
and God have We agin;"
And soon from talkin' politics, at fairy
tales they'll be,
With stools dhrawn up around the
blaze as close as close can be,
And no one wants to look behind
afraid a ghost might bide
Among the fiickerin' shadows of the
old fireside.

HOW TO TRAIN GENEROUS
CHILDREN.

There is too little done to teach
the young almsgiving, 1 feel" writes
an observant lay-benefactor
We know that many parents, even
Catholics, are spelling their children,
but we are glad to note among our
correspondents in all parts of the
country a gratifying number whose
great preoccupation is the salvation
of their children's souls.
These parents keep out of sight the
daily newspaper with its poisonous
headlines. They do not believe that
the chiIds own way is the best way,
nor are they Influenced in their duty
by either the opinions or the mac
tiyity of neighboring parents. They
are teaching their children that sacri-
flee is the test of lOve-for God, for
the family, for companions, and that
selfshness is meanness.

line of kings is usually succeeded by
series of mediocrities, often good
and faithful men, but without the
splendid abilities which created the
dynasty.
On the other had, Cation shows that
among English inventors James Watt
alone may be rated as inheriting his
talents from his father, while George
Stephenson was the son of a miner,
and the father of Thomas Telford was
a shepherd. OF the poets Scott was
the son of a Scottish lawyer, Tennyson
of an obscure clergyman, Shelley of a
country gentleman and Southey of a
Bristol linen draper. 1t was barber
who fathered the Artist Turner, and
Romney was the son of builder and
cabinet maker. Sir Joshua Reynolds
offered the studio of a great master
as an environment for his kinsfolks,
but neither he nor Wren, the Archi-
tect, nor Scot, nor Wordsworth, nor
Romney left descendants whose pow
ers gained them recognitions.

PETTY ANNoYANCEs.

The petty annoyances of life con-
stitute very formidable mass, if one
chooses to dwell upon and remember
them. They are curiously combined
with the most delicate pleasures, as
the thorn is set on the same stem
with the rose. Those who have the
highest quality of receptivity and are
most sensitive to the finer delights are
the elect victims of the imperfections,
the dissonances and the small griev-
ances that beset the way of the as
piring and the path of the ardent. No
one, however we'll poised, can be en-
tirely Indifferent to the stings and dis
comforts Of these minor troubles; but
the healthy nature will keep them
we'll below the horizon of habitual
thought.
A man is strong in the degree in
which he is able to subordinate the
minor to the major concerns of life;
and fruitful in the degree in which he
pushes aside petty obstacles and keeps
to his path not only with fidelity but
with delight The good traveller does
not miss the chance of beautiful seen
cry because his companions of the
hour are not of his kind; nor does he
suffer bad cup of coffee to over
shadow the shrines of history or liter
ature A statesman does not yield his
measure because he is surrounded by
scoffers and trifiers. The man of re-
ligious conviction does not suffer his
faith to be clouded because churchmen
are such imperfect administrators OF
the spiritual interests of society. The
artist is not plunged into melancholy
because paints and brush are often
so obstinate and unsympathetic to his
hand, nor does the sculptor despair of
his vision because stone is hard and
dust and dirt envelop him. The writer
does not turn aside from his work be-
cause language guards it's felicities
and melodies with such persistence;
nor does his imagination lose its
freshness because the use of the pen
involves such drudgery.
Every fine achievement is beset with
difficulties; it is only the ardent lover
who bursts through the hedge OF
thorns and awakens the princess. No
little character Of the sterner sort is
wrought out of the overcoming OF
small difficulties and the patient bear
ing of petty annoyances. And the
supreme work of living freely, joyous
ly and fruitfully is accomplished by
those only who know how to ignore
trifles, to endure minor discomforts,
and to make the day noble in spite of
the annoyances which are set about it
like thornS.

CANNOT TRANSMIT GENIUS.

The dictionary of the names of en-

Cation listed $4,000 persons who
reached eminence in the various
fields of human achievement, and in
dictated that barely 200 in every
100000 persons were entitled to ap-
pear in his roster of greatness. A
study of these lists seems to show
that the worlds famous men seldom
have left sons capable of the measure

equal honor for themselves. Only the

LESSON LVI.
FROZEN MIXTURES.

Freezing
Ice and salt form a freezing mix
ture, several degrees below the
freezing point OF water. Salt melts
the ice, withdrawing the heat from
the contents of the can, and the melt
ing dissolves the salt. The smaller
the piece of ice, the more quickly the
change of liquid, and the more salt
used. the more quickly the mixture
is frozen. If too much salt is used,
however, the frozen mixture will be
coarsely grained. Three parts of ice
to one part of salt is the best proper
ton for smooth, fine grained cream.
Directions for Freezing
Place the can of the freezer in
the pail; put in dasher, and pour in
mixture to be frozen. Cover and ad.
just can. Turn crank to make sure
can fits in socket. Fill the space be
tween the can and pail with alternate
layers of ice and salt, allowing
measures of ice to one of salt. The
ice and salt should come little high
er in the pail than mixture to be
frozen. The can should not be more
than ga full, as the mixture expands
in freezing. Turn the crank slowly
at first, then more rapidly, adding
more ice and salt as needed. Do moi
draw off the water, unless it stands
SO high that there is danger of il
getting into the can. After freezing
draw the water, remove dasher, ant
with a spoon push solidly. Put corl
in opening of cover. Repack, usins
parts ice to one of salt. Place OF
top newspapers, an old blanket o.
carpet
How to Make Ice Cream or Ices With
out Freezer
Cover bottom of pail with crushed
ice. Put in baking powder can
tumbler or lard pail, containing mix
ture to be frozen and surround will
ice and salt. Turn can or tumble
with hand, and as soon as it begins
to freeze, scrape mixture from side
of can and beat mixture with spool
continuing until mixture is frozen.
/. Water Ices consist of water
fruit juices and sugar.
2. Sherbets, consist of water, frui
juices with the addition of gelatin

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
LITTLE POLLY'S POME.
Going to Market.

Although it is my free-time
For every kind of play
l love to go to market
Upon a Saturday.
Then mother takes her basket
And l my small one too
And start out in the morning
To see what we can do.
The farmers and the butchers
They know us very we'll
And they are always smiling
In hopes their goods to SELL
It's pleasant in the summer
And in the spring and fall
But 0, it is in winter
l like it best of all
For then the air is frosty
And all the smells are sweet
And there are CHEEKY greetings
From every one we meet.
But mother is not easy
She does not buy right off
But keeps on asking prices
Till they are cheap enough.
And if she wants chicken
pray make a note of thiS)
She always feels it's breastbone
To see how old it is.
o there is lots of wisdom
That surely will repay
The minutes spent with mother
Upon market-day.
Then when we're going homeward
With all the things we've bought
We know we did our duty
Like prudent women ought
And mother often tells me
Perhaps we would not hear
So much of high cost living
If all did this, my dear,
Instead of telephoning
For things they wish to buy
And having them delivered"
And so you see that's why
Although it is my free-time
For every kind of play
l love to go to market
Upon a Saturday.
