Teutons In History.

The term Teuton Is of Latin origin
In ancient times the part of Europe
now embraced in Germany was called
Germania, and one of the principal
tribes of the country was called by the
civilized Romans Teutons, just as We
speak of the Apache Indian. Being
fierce and warlike people they gave the
Romans a great deal Of trouble, and
as they were the dominant tribe Of thai
region the name Of Teutons gradual,
came to be applied to all the people oc
cupying what was called Germania. Il
mas survived In the form Of Teutons.

A Divine Melody,

The worlds history is divine poem
Of which the history Of every nation
is q canto and of every man a word.
Its strains have been pealing along
down the centuries, and, though there
have been mingled the discords OF
roaring cannon and dying man. yet to
the Christian philosopher and historian
the humble listener-there has been
a divine melody running through the
song which speaks Of hope and
halcyon days to come. History Is but
the unroiled scroll Of prophecy

"All right" agreed Uncle wiggily,
and his pink nose twinkled as fast as
anything. You kick first"
So the football was placed on the

leg to and fro and then he gave a
most tremendous and extraordinary
kick! Away sailed the football over

the sort Of suit that consider it
very safe to buy at this time of year.

suits are always good.

Just as any knitted fabric has-and
1t is only in the better sort of jersey
that this tendency is overcome.
The wsistline of the coat is defined
by a belt fastening with a buckle,
the coat itself hipping in slightly at
the waistline by means of the two
pressed plaits at either side. The
yoke Is a good feature, for 1t Sc
cures a good fit over the shoulders

coat by way of making the shoulders

with deep flaps on the jacket and
similar pockets on the skirt which,
by the way, is a two-piece affair

the mistake of wearing the skirt of

SyndicAteD
Saturn and Mars are in malefic
aspect, according to astrology. Nep-
tune is slightly helpful
The configuration indicates a clash
between those who represent the old
established order of things and those
who lead reforms.
Arrogance and impatience are sup
posed to be increased by the posting
Of the stars today and for this reason
labor perils are increased. since
danger of physical violence is likely
TO be augmented.
| Saturn is in a place read as indi-
eating a Tightening Of the grasp Of
big interests on property and prerog-
atiyes, even though conciliatory
measures may be adopted toward
labor.
The sway is not good for domestic
harmony or confidence Destructive
influences, including jealousy, sus-
picion and anger are supposed TO be
fostered under this rule OF the stars.
Neptune gives promise Of better
vision for the public when II views
many public questions.
The confguration promises much
for educational movements. many of
which will be launched with the new
year.
Sudden deaths are prognosticated
| for legislators who are aligned
against the great reforms indicated
by the aspects OF Uranus.
After the beginning of 1870 the wave
of crime will rise to a crest that will
cause supreme efforts 10 prevent
malefactors from operating.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
guard against financial losses in the
coming year. They should be careful
of the health.
Children born on this day may be
hasty and ambitious. These subjects
