CHRISTMAS PASSES QUIETLY

The Christmas holidays passed IN
Welsh in a very quiet and p eaceful
manner.
There were Christmas trees at both
the Methodist a n d Presbyterian
Churches and these drew quite crowd
of children and parents too at each
church to see Santa and witness the
Christmas programs.
The weather for few days previous
had been unusually bad and on this
account the Christmas shopping was
cut short considerably. The rains fell
almost continuously for nearly q week
before Christmas and very few people
could pet away from home to do any
shopping. Notwithstanding all this
the Christmas day afforded a time OF
genuine peace and enjoyment in almost
every home in the community.
There was apparently a marked de-
crease in the amount Of whiskey drunk
during the holidays and the community
suffered no quarrels or rowdyism to
speak Of

CENTIPEDEs A FOOT LONG
Giant Insects Of the Tropics Have
Forty-Two Feet, and Every
Claw Is Poisonous.

The giant centipede of Trinidad and
Venezuela is sometimes a foot long,
and can do very serious harm. Its
foremost pair of feet are modified into
supplementary jaws, which are fang
like, and may inflict a powerful bite;
furthermore, each has a poison gland
at it's base, that sends into the wound
a venom deadly to small creatures,
and very painful even to mankind.
Moreover the sharp claw Of each of
the AZ feet is poisonous likewise, so
that when the animal crawls over the
soft skin of the human arm, it leaves
a trail of red, inlamed spots. 1t is
dangerous to knock the centipede of,
for instantly the creature drives the
claws more deeply into the flesh, and
sends a greater amount of venom
into each puncture; it may also take
hold with its jaws.
When the centipede seizes its prey,
or is itself caught by an enemy, it
coils itself round it's antagonist, and
grips it tenaciously with all its legs.
Many m~yriapods are brightly banded
with black and yellow, contrasting
tints that show conspicuously\ against
the dark soil of the forests where
they abound. The giant centipede is
a shining mahogany brown, with the
legs blush and ringed with yellow

Miss Adilah Plumtree, the postmis-
tress of Four Falls. sat staring at a
letter in her hand. The letter was
not addressed to her, but II had come
unfastened in the post, and so she had
exercised the ~prerogative which is
generally ascribed to postmistresses.
1t was addressed to Mr.. Charles
Black, and was signed by Andrew
Usher. The sentence which vas burn.

Mersina, now an important port on the Cilician
coast. Shortly, even this sea trip will not be nee
essary, for Alexandretta will be linked with the
Bagdad railway.
Once at Mersina, we can follow the railway
through the heart of the country, leaving this link
with civilization here and there in order to visit
those PLACES which claim our particular attention.
A railway ride of about an hour from Mersina
brings us to Tarsus, the birthplace of the apostle.
Truly 1t is a city with a remarkable past. Alex
ander the Great spent some time here, while it
was at Tarsus that Mark Antony received Cleo
patra, who sailed up the river in a magnificent
barge disguised as Aphrodite. 1t was one of the
three great universities of the pagan world. 1t
lies on the Cydnus river, about eight miles in a
direct line from the coast. In st. Paul's day the
river was n~avigable as far as the city, but 1t has
been allowed to silt up, with the result that only
very small boats can approach the city now.
From Tarsus we have a omewhat rough ride to
Bulgurlu, where we again strike the railway. Our
road is a romantic one, over the Taurus mountains
and through the famous Cilician gates. The latter
is a pass in a deep rocky gorge. Here a band of
engineers are making a track for the railway, so
that in the near future one will be able to cross
the pass in comfortable coaches. The apostle
passed through this very defle on his second jour
ney. At Bulgurlu we again take the train to
Konia, passing over what is likely to become an
exceedingly fertile plateau. Konia is in the center
of a great cotton-growing district, and is surround
ed by luXuriant orchards of plums and apricots.
This is ancient Iconium, a very old city, and said
to be the first place to emerge after the deluge.
The railway has wrought great changes in this
ancient city. Modern European houses are spring
ing up near the station, the population is growing,
trade has increased four or %fivefold, and there is
a general sense of alertness. Portions of the old
walls that once surrounded the city are still to be
seen, as well as one of its old towers. st. Paul
visited this city twice, once in company with Bar
nabas and the other time with Timothy. 1t was
here that the apostle was taken for a heather god
and had much ado to prevent the priests of Jupiter
offering sacrifices to him.
In the end, however, the great missionary had
to fee the town and seek refuge at Lystra, which
lies a little to the south and is easily reached on
horseback.
About thirty miles southeast of Lystra lies the
site of Derbe, in st. Paul's day an important from
tier town of the province of Galatia. The exact
locality is still uncertain, but is generally placed
near the slope of a mountain, Hadji Bahia pilgrim

Wireless Worries.

Wireless telegraphy has done much
for us, and will probably-or rather,
surely-do a great deal more for the
benefit of humanity at large.
But, if they could speak, many birds
would probably tell you that they don't
approve of this new invention in the
least. For in the parts of the world
where there are a large number of
wireless stations observations have
been made which seem to indicate
that birds are disturbed in a very curl

Lack Of Color.

Too many home places suffer from a
lack of tone or color. Many plants with
light-colored flowers, vast stretches
Of cement or gravel walks, faded
and undecided shade in the house
paint, all tend to a wishy-washy effect
that is sadly in need of Frightening.
Such conditions call for, not a mere
touch of color, but a dominance OF
some strong-growing plant of effective
ness. Scarlet geraniums or Ragged
Robin roses In masses or hedges will
bring the desired effect and produce
a really wonderful transformation in
what was formerly a very uninterest-
ing prospect.
