Jefferson's Story of His Own lafe Charmingly Told. JOHN EU1CSS0VS 0EIG1NAL GEKIES There is a little bit of Scotch in Robert Louis Stevenson's "Ballads" (Charles Scribaer's Sons: J. K. Weldin & Co., SI), but most of the scene is laid in thoe far away Pac'fic islands atnong-vhich the au thor lias elected to take up his abode. "Heather Ale" is Scotch enough, and "Ii conderoga" is both Scotch aud American. This is the talc of the mar. "Vho beard a word in tbe nicbt In tee land of tho healthy lulls. In the days of the lued and the fight. By the sides of the rainy sea. Wnero never a stranger came. On the awful lips of the dead. Ho heard the outlandish name. It sane in his sleeping ears. It hammered in his tvakins head: The name Ticondcroja, The utterance of the dead. Somebody heard it, such is the legend, some kilted Highlander; but whether hi name nas Cameron or Campbell, there seems to be fconie discussion. Some man in Scotland, in a bad dream after a fielit with a tragic ending, heard the name Ticondcrojra spoken by the man he had murdered, and met his own death years afterward in that region of ol trees and redskins. Mr. Stevenson has made a capital ballad out of thestory, with the right swing and ring in the lines of it. "The Song of Itakers" and the "Feast ot Famine" are tragedies from the Marquesas, told in long, rhyming lines, with the back ground ot strange scenery, and with heroes aud heroines attired in delicate, elaborate and graceful tattooing. Here is a fair pict ure out of the "Feast ot Famine-" Out of the groves of the valley, where clear the blackbirds sang. Sheer from the trees of the valley the face of the mountain sprang: Sheer and bare it rose, unscalable barricade, Ueaten and blown against by the generous draught ot thetrade. Dawn on its fluted brow painted rainbow light. Close on its pinnacled crown trembled the stars at night. Here and there in clefts clustered contorted trees, Orthesilvcr beard of a stream hung aud swung m the breeze. The book is exquisitely bound, and so printed and margined as to be a delight to the eyes of everybody who has a love for the fair faces of books. II. The third volume fln the "Makers of America series is a study o. Alexander Hamilton by Prof. V. G. Snmner, of Yale University. (Dodd, Mead & Co., J. K. Weldin & Co., 1 2j.) l"f. Sumner is a man with most agreeably definite opinions, and the gift of expressing them after a definite, positive and cocksure fashion, which is always readable, always attractive and sometimes convincing. There is no writer who goes straighter at the very center of his subject. AVe take up any book of his with a reasonable assnrance that we will not be bored. Mr. Sumner tells us at the start that he does not purpose to write either a biography of Hamilton or a history of his times. He undertakes to show "how, and in what sense, Alexander Hamilton was one 01 the makers 01 this American State." "i have constructed my book," he avs, "with just that and nothing else in view." "The great struggle of the Revolution set loose a whole pandemonium of anarchistic spirits of evil. What sort of temper the time was of, cotemporary France shows well enough. In 1789, the year in which George Washington was made President, and our present government was organized, they were putting down tb Bastile over on the other side of the water, and beginning the operations of the guillotine. During the years which lollowed, while we were Eetling things on sure foundations, good enough to need no mending yet, they were running about the streets of Paris like mad men, with a torch in one hand aud a sword in the other. The word revolution has two meanings, sicnificautly different, according as you put the adjective American before it, or the ad jective French. Kow, this difference, which is the difference between chaos and order, depended partly, no doubt., on the various temperaments of the two nations. But a great deal, also, upon the temper of their leaders. France had Marat and Canton and Robespierre. "We had those eminent men whose names were signed to the Declarati in of Independence. We had Wash ington and Adams and Jefferson and Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton, chief among them this is Prof. Sum ner's position prevented the disaster of anarchy. Une phase of anarchy is the re fusal to pay one's honest debts. Disorder al ways gets its hands into its neighbor's pock ets. The Revolution of the American col onies, like all revolutions, set loose turbu lent anarchistic elements. On the financial side this suirit of disorder threatened repu diation. "The contest with anarchy and re pudiation was the great work which went to the making of this nation at the end of the last century, and Alexander Hamilton was one of the leading heroes of it." This is the tin sis of which this bonk is the demonstra tion. 11L A fine, handsome volume in an embossed cover wuite as ivory, is the "Autobiography of Joseph Jefferson." (The Century Co., J. K. Weldin & Co.). We have all read it. month by month, as it came out in the Century Magazine, and we are all glad to have it in a good bnok, with fair pages aid big print. Mlieie wc can read it all over agaitu T-ie preface is a delightful introduction. It begins by quoting the Irishman's wise opinion that "no man should write his autobiography but himself," and goes on commenting pleasantly about the advant atres of telling one's own story in one's own way. Indeed, there is no more agreeable reading in all book-land than the half dozen treasured volumes, going back to St, Augustine, in which a hero, or a saint, or :m artist, or a man of letters, has taken us into the quiet of his own withdrawing room aud talked to us. page after page, about his doings and his thinking. Everybody greets "Joe Jefferson."Kobody has a wider company of frienas. And the privilege of this long and charming mono logue is one to be appreciated. It is notable how well the book is written, looking at it from the technical point of view as a piece 01 composition. Here is a man without training in the art of authorship who Mts down and writes a book. And behold! it is a good book, read able, clear, entertaining, and pretty much everything else which a literary work ought to be. Mr. Jefferson makes allusion to his temerity in walking thus serenely into the literary arena. But the adventure is Its own justification. It is well done. Audit goes to prove (what ought not to need any proving), that what we who read books are in quest of is simplicity, straightforward ness, something interesting to tell, and an unjUVctci way of telling it. That is what we have in this excellent story of the life of a good man. It was the wish of John Ericsson that William Conant Church should write tbc record of his work. Mr. Church bas had access to all the sources of informatian there are, and hist work, in two handsome vol umes, is the life of that eminent inventor in its complete and finished snape. Messrs. Scribners have bound the books in strong, tjstcful and worthy bindings. When John Ericsson died, on the 8 !i 'day of March, last year, most (n-ople had forgotten that ' he was alive. For years he had lived -so by him self, wit'i such stout bars across his doors, that be was as good as dead, so far as the general world was concerned. It wis re incnibcred.lwith an effort, tha; ho had been onco associated with a boat named the Moni tor; but just what kind of a boRt it was, or precisely what service it performed, people remembered but vaguely. Old men knew well, and young bovs and girls who were studying the history of the United States at school knew, but. few others could pass much of an examination upon the achievements of John Ericsson. Ericsson was, himself responsible lor much of his late obscurity. He was eccentric, and excessively lond of work, and he had an objection (which he had no hesitation in expressing) to the conversation of bores. But behind that locked door, and in that queer house in Beach street, in New York, lived a genius, one of the great men of the century, whose name will endure as long as our history continues to .be read. A queer house it was, and most characteristic of the man. Ericsson was in dependents the last degree. It was impos sible to work with him. The fact that a thing had always been done in a certain way was, with him, an argument for doing it in some other and orignal way. He asked no suggestions. He wanted no help. In a doorway in his bed room, he had two short ropes, with nippers at tbc ends, to hold his coat for his rheumatic arms. Nobody should hold a coat for himl Eighteen hods of coal stood always in fire-weather beside bis chamber 'door. The handle of the tin cup in which he heated his shav ing water was four feet Jong, that he might not burn his face. Summer and winter he wore vests and stocks of buff pique, having once bought 150 yards of it to last the rest of bis natural life. So with everything else. There was never but one man in the world like John Ericsson, and that was John Ericsson. And he was proud of it. The story of a great and useful life is told in this book. The geniuses, as Mrs. Carlyle said, are pretty hard to live with; but genius they have, for all that. The caloric ship, the caloric en gine, the solar engine, the Monitor, arc notable accomplishments. Tipped back against the wall, with shut eyes, as if asleep, John Ericsson thought out things whose end is not yet. Mr. Church's book is minute, clearly divided, interesting and fair. (J. R. Weldin & Co.; ?6.) "Electricity in Daily Life," (Charles Scribners Sons. J. R. Weldin & Co., $3), is a capital handbook of progress up to this date in the wonders of this new force. Mr. Howells calls this the neo-electric age, when a new clement enters into human life, as significant as the discovery, several milleniunis ago, that weapons could be man ufactured out oft. stone. The papers which compose the book have appeared in Scrib ner's Magazine, and are here reprinted with all the excellent illustrations. A flash of white electric light goes zig zaging along the cover. The tele graph and telephone, the electric railway, the electric light,-the uses of eletricityjn fighting and in heating, are all considered. From Faraday to Edison, what a record of progress! And, one day, how antiquated all these brigiit pages will be, in the face of the wonders which await discoveries in the luture! With what patronizing interest will these first usings of this wonderful force be commented upon several decades further on by some successor of The Cbitio. THE HOME can be made brighter these long winter evenings by adding to It a copy of THE DISPATCH. Cet to-inorrow's 24 page issue. DONNELLY'S CIPHER. An English Divine Tries Conclusions With it and Succeeds. Toronto Mall.1 Three years ago Mr. Ignatius Donnelly, the discoverer, or lather the inventor, of the alleged Shakespeare cipher, sought to prove the correctness ot bis Baconian theory by challenging anyone (1) to bring out the cipher story given by him by the use of any other "root numbers" or "hiodifiers" than those used by himself, and (2) to extract from the First Folio text, by the use of the same numbers, any other cipher slory. Although the acceptance of the challenge meant an immense amount of work, the Rev. DA A. Nicholson, of Leamington, Eng., undertook the task, and with com plete success. He has produced the Don nelly cipher story by the use of other root numbers, and he also, by the use of tbe Donnelly numbers, dug out a sentence re ferring to the ecclesiastical trial of tbe Bishop of Lincoln, the latter result showing how false the Minnesota statesman's theory is. Dr. Nicholson's root number is the date of the Hegira of Mahomet, and says that "by the arithmetical law of combinations Mr. Donnelly's contrivance secures to the operator on almost incalculable number of chances (3,309,000 to 1) for picking up from the column any words required for the man ufacture ot stories." ECHOES FE0M CHBISTMAS. Some Presents That Came in a VeryTimelv Manner. Ex-Councilman P. W. Siebert made a very acceptable Christmas present of 53,000 to Mrs. Watt, widow of Griffith D. Watt, lately deceased. Mr. Watt was a member of the Royal Society of Good Fellows, who thus opportunely remembered Mrs. Watt. This is the thir-l death in Penn Assembly No 95 this year, and 9.000 have been paid. The other recipients were the widows of Charles Jr. Uaer and John .Altord. Western Star Lodge No, 2i, I. O. O. F., on Christmas presented the widow of each deceased member with a turkey and trim mings. One of the ladies remembered living in Wisconsin, and another in Delaware, the money to purchase the birds was sent in lieu of tbe birds themselves. TIIK DIFFERENCE. Crackers Fresh From tho Oten Are the Only Kind to Eat. Did you ever think what a difference there is in crackers? A stale cracker is just as much of an abomination as stale bread. Pittsburg people are great lovers of crackers, principally because they can get the best that are made in the country fresh from the ovens every day. Pittsburg is one of the greatest cracker baking towns in the world. The mammoth Marvin establishment alone turns out almost enough to keep the entire popula tion of half a dozen States eating 21 hours a day And there is this about the Marvin goods, they can always be relied upon as being thoroughly pure and fresh. The great ovens are going constantly, and a score or more of wagons are busy from morning till night delivering the crackers to grocers in the two cities. Of course, Pittsburg can consume only a small portion of the product of the factory. The rest is shipped to al most every State in the Union, for tbe fame of Marvin's crackers is not merely local. Everybody from Maine to California has heard of them, and everybody who knows a good cracker when he sees it wants to get them. If you don't already use Marvin's crackers, order some from your grocer. If you try them once you will never want any others. Then there's bread, Palace bread. Have you tried it? If you haven't, you ought to. It's just about the finest thing in this line in the market. Marvin's breads are baked fresh every day. An army of wagons de livers them to the city trade and express trains carry them to towns within reach all over the western part of the State. Ask your grocers for Marvin's Palace bread a'nd see if it isn't just about the nice cst thing you ever tasted.

YOST SAYS IT WAS UNNECESSARY, Bat Attorneys for the Defense Tried to Trove it Otherwise. PROGRAMME FOR THE CRIMINAL COURT In Criminal Court yesterday Judge Stowe heard the argument in the cases of T. A. Gillespie & Bros, and Pattersou & Jennings, prosecuted by Captain Wishart for violation of tbe Sunday laws under the act of 1791. The defendants have oil wells in the Haysville fields, which are pumped all week, including Sunday, .and this occasioned the suit. Under ad vice from their attorneys, the de fendants pursued different courses. Gillespie Bros, admitted having a man em ployed at their well on Sunday, while Pat terson & Jennings claimed that they em ployed no man, but' that the engine was started late on Saturday night and continued on Sunday without any aid or added fuel. Gillespie Bros, were represented by Clar ence Burleigh, James Knox and J. S. Fer guson, while Judge Bredin represented Patterson & Jennings. William Yost looked after the Law and Order Society's side of the case. Mr. Yost opened the argument and stated that the work bad proved not to be one of necessity. If a well was pumped automat ically the automaton produced money for the defendants and worked for them just as a man would work. Mr. Yost held that the other wells in the vicinity had been able to close down and not pump on Sunday. Mr. Burleigh pointed to the testimony of 15 expert witnesses, which showed that if the wells were not pumped on Sunday, at least enough to keep the salt water out, there would be a crystallization of the salt and thus plug up the pores of the oil-bearing rock and damage irreparable would re sult He held that the work was one of great necessity. Mr. Ferguson and Judge Bredin argued on the chemical side of the case. Judge Stowe took the papers, stating that he considered the cases very important, aud would render a decision as soon as possible. NEXT WEEK'S PB0GEAMME.

Wild Pursuit of a Bad Bovine In the Maine 'Woods. Lewlston Journal. Thomas McReavey, who lives somewhere in Washington county, lately bought a yoke of 4-year old steers of William C. Holway for beef to use in the woods. The animals were already in tbe woods, where they had been through the summer, and theew owner started the other day to drive them in. -The steers were found the first day, Bavs the Whit ueyville correspondent of the Machias Re publican, and after a hard race were driven to the Bacon barn and secured. The roads being rough between the Bacon barn and camp, Mr. McReavey concluded he could transport his beef cheaper on foot than with teams, so he obtained two stout ropes, each about 40 feet in lengtb, with which he se cured his steers. Three stout men were placed at the end of either rope, and two behind each steer to act as "file closers." Ee then commanded a forward movement. The force on the ropes pulled ahead, and the file closers shoved and prodded behind. After sulking awhile the steers made a plunge ahead, snaking the men along at a fearful rate for a considerable distance, until an opportunity presented to take a turn around a tree, when they stumbled and were thrown heavily to the ground. The tactics of prodding up and snubbing were repeated until one of them gave in and walked quietly to camp. The other was not so easily sub dued but outgeneraled his adversaries aud leit them all prostrate upon the ground from sheer exhaustion, and with 40 feet of rope as a trophy of vic tory won, he marched to the "bad lands." The next morning Mr. McReavey filled his pockets with dovgnuts and renewed the chase, which he kept up for four days. During that time it is estimated that a six mile township had been crossed about four score times without any perceptible abate ment of speed, and that steer is still going. HE WANTED TO KNOW. No Fancy Damage Salts Wanted From That Particular Train. Urooklyn Eagle. "Say," blurted out the brakeman, ab ruptly pausing in his stately march through the car, "where d'ye buy your clothes?" The party addressed sported a novelty in chinchilla overcoats and a red mustache. He was too surprised to immediately reply, but the brakeman continued: "Hurry up there, young feller; tell me quick; soon be at the station!" "None o' your blank, flam, jigwacked business," replied the passenger, between snorts of rase. "lis my business, you'd better believe," continued the undisturbed brakeman. "The company'll want to hear from me. Did ye get that overcoat in England?" "To thunder with you aud the grave rob bing company," trumpeted the now thor oughly infuriated passenger. "D'ye sup pose I go to England for an $18 overcoat, you Nogswallager?" "That settles it," calmly put in the brake man. "You've set your coat afire with that cigarette o' yours, and I want no Gilbert damage suit on this road. Brookl eu Tompk ays! step lively there!"

For some time past it has been tbe prac tice of tbo Treasury to return to China at Gov ernment expense all Chinese laborers convicted of entering our territory in violation of the Chinese exclusion act, Tbls applied to China men smuggled over tbe Mexican and Canadian borders, as well as those coming direct from China. A recent decision by Judge Maxey, of the United States District Court of the West ern district ot Texas, however, will, if sus tained, compel a material modification of this practice. It 1', in effect, that the Government basnoricht under the law to tnd to China Chinese laburers who enter tbe United States from contiguous countries, unless evidence is produced that they came from China, or, in other words, that the language of law author izing their "return to the country whenoe they came" should In such cases be construed to mean the contiguous countries and not China. HIS KIND OF ARGUMENT. The Thin Mau Objected to Taklngthe Abuse for tho Company. llroolclrn Eagle, i 'Twas a melancholy looking man who marshaled himself and an ominous Irown into the car at Grand avenue on Friday morning. Hisv right hand was bare and clenched and his left was enveloped in a thick, woolen mitten. He suspended him 'self from a strap because no seat was ready to receive him and his too apparent anxiety, and as he gently lurched from side to aide he viewed with evident enyy the more or less placid faces bent over the morning prints. The main object ot his observation was a. thin man with mutton-chop whiskers. who edged this way and that to give leeway for the unexpected movements of the new passenger. The latter opened his right hand, gazed ruefully into it, pushed the tnin man's paper aside and said: "Is that a counterfeit?" The thin man wasn't pleased. Everybody in the immediate neighborhood saw that, but he pushed down his spectacles and re plied in a self-deiensive tone: "How do I know?" "Look at itl" commanded tbe melan choly man. "Is there grease on it? Has the sun melted the edge off? Is the date up side down, or," he added, assnming an air of wakeful and sonorous suspicion, "does it look as if I made it outen an old lead pipe?" v "It doesn't interest me, sir," said the thin man, endeavoring to give the impression that an illustrated furniture advertisement in his paper had secured his whole atten tion. "I don't care one way or t'other." "Don't?" cried the other, whose melan choly had given way to auger. "Do you mean to say, sir, that 'a cross-eyed ticket seller bos aright to tell me this coin isn't worth anything when the train is about at the station? Do yon mean to insinuate that I am running a counterfeit factory, where I turn out 5-ccnt pieces with a bullet mold and a plaster o' paris cast? Do you mean to work your cadaverous features into the expression you haven't courage enough to give voice to, that that crooked-nosed ticket seller suspected that f. was regularly rob bing the Government?" The thin man didn't reply; in fact, he seemed to be the least interested. A benevolent-looking, round-faced passenger leaned over the speaker's shoulder, and, after a look at a disreputable imitation of a 5-cent piece, sighed. This seemed to lend additional eloquence to the .melancholy person and he snatched tbe paperfrom the thin man's hand, seized him bv the collar and shouted: "Why don't you talk? Why don't you have courage enough to say that I'm an es caped bank thief, a forger, a rag picker, a dealer in second-hand handorgans? What do ye twitch yer whiskers for? Why don't yon talk up like a man and back up the black-muzzled ticket seller? You know you think that's a counterfeit, why don't you say " The thin man broke off the speech by dis turbing the other's breakfist. He laid tbe melancholy man's form on the matting, and while his arms flew around like a windmill on a stormy day, he gasped: "I'm not 'Constant Reader' whack; I'm not 'Veritas,' nor whack any o' those fel lows whack; but if you want a downright whack argument whack on counterfeits, here's whack one o' my kind for you." The brakeman escorted the melancholy man out at the next station and gently told him where the nearest druggist did bnsiness. TWENTY-FOUR PAGES will he famished every reader of to-morrow's DISPATCH. It will be a splendid number. TOO MUCH STUDY. Germany Agitated About the Excessive Schooling of Its Youth. Letrlston Journall Germany is now much exercised about her schools which are turning out a lot of well-crammed but uneducated boys and girls. By that I mean that the German schools overtax tbe memory at the expense of the reason and fail to discipline by over informing. Children of tender years study habitually by dim lamp light, many times until after 11 o'clock, and are aroused in early morning to go to school at 8 o'clock on the strength of a bit of bread and a cup of coffee. Their eyesight is soon dimmed and they become puny in body. I asked a German woman "Why do so many Germans find eyeglasses a necessity?" "Because," she replied, "the children study too much by candlelight. QThe German Government is now prosecut ing inquiries looking to reform in the school system of the empire. On July 1 nil tbe German schools close, but after a summer vacation of four weeks they resume again. The German schools, to be sure, have more interwoven holidays than ours; but this se vere discipline exacts too much of tender years. Under-exercice of the body and over exercise of tbe mind is bad even for young colts the trainers say but for boys and girls it is a very serious mistake. We have two pale-faced young German cadets at the Castle, 12 or 13 years of age. They are little men in their orange trimmed surtout uni forms, but last night our American colony got them to unbend in au old-fashioned game of Yankee schoolboy tag, and the schoolma'am and all joined in and I am sure the boys never before tasted so much sweet freedom in all their born days. The father of one of these German cadets distin guished himself in the late war with France. A GOOD TIME COMING. Humanity Looks Always. in the Future for Something Better. Texas Siltings.J Men strive for earthly advancement. The poor boy, with scarce a shoe to ke'ep the soles of his feet from contact with the rugged soil, looks forward to the day when he shall sit, enthroned as it were, in the Senate of his country; he strives, and he strives, and reaches the point; but once there, and is hecontent? No. There isa craving for greater honors for further ad vancement. The monarch is restless under the burden of his supreme authority. He sighs for something else-he knows not what. No individual is satisfied with the present; we all regard the future as that which contains increased enjoyment,, as that which embodies perfect happiness. ' It is not so when we reach the bed of death. The vilest of the human race feel, when the time for dissolution arrives, that there is yet something to crave some thing to indicate and exemplify progress. It is the spread of the doctrine ot tbe im mortality of the soul to which may be at tnbuted'the grand results ol what is termed "The grand and buoying reliance upon the future" upon something brilliant yet to be achieved that proves, beyond a mortal doubt, this life is but tbe inception and tbe precursor of a longer and better one, in which there are no taxes, no bill collectors, no tight shoes, no boodle aldermen; nothing, in fact, except unalloyed happiness. KUDTAP.D KIPLLNGS great story "The light That Failed," and William Black's novel, "Stand Fast, Craig-Koyston," are both concluded in THE DISPATCH to-morrow.

They got as far West as St. Louis, where the manager thought there was not enough money to divide and decamped with the funds. Since-thcnhe has come East as best iiu could by the Ireigbt car route.

Tbe above challenge was placed in our hands, and as tbe parties are known to each other, there can be no, question bet this will decide the diiouted title of tbe Pittsburg champion ship. If Mr. Sberrow defeats Mr. Bovle in tho proposed contest, we will not hesitate for one moment to acknowledge blm Pittsburg's cham pion.

Famllles Go Asunder Because of a Dls- similarity of Tastes. Youth's Companion. In many families one member, often the most intelligent and lovable, stands alone, separate from tbe others, as though an in visible wall of ice rose between him and them. Usually this division is caused, not by lack ot love or good will, but by some differ ence of manneror taste. In a word, they cannot keep step with the prevailing habit of thought of their companions. "I knew before I married," said a young wife, that Ben made his living by raising cattle. But I did not suppose that he took any special interest in them as cattle. When be talks every day of Alderneys and Holsteins, of marks and pedigrees, he bores me unspeakably, and I tell him so." This lack of sympathy and indifference to what makes an essential part of her hus band'a life in other words, the failure to fall in step with her husband will probably insure to this wife and her husband an un happy domestic future. Young people are often unwilling to fall in step. It is not easy for them to perceive that they and the friend who diSers from them can both be right. Besides, some minds are apt to feel that there is a certain distinction in belonging to tbe minority. Either as wife, sister, husband or brother, if you would have a happy family life, re member two rules: In matters of principle, stand like a rock. In matters of taste, swim with the current. HOW WE ADVANCE, Civilization Going Forward With Science InstAd of Grim War. Lewlston, Me., Journal. How much more is done under our mod ern idea of enterprise than was done under the old system of blood and iron! Europe has peaceably divided tbe Dark Continent. Even Germany, against the sarcasm of Bis marck, has quietly agreed to the refer endum, under whose verdict the colonial issues between Germany and England are happily at rest. India is now Indo-European, the work of a century and a half. We celebrated tbe centenary of American independence only a few years ago. .Mod ern great Britain is quite another from the Brother Johu of 1776. Italy was united as late as 18G0 and Germany as late as 1870. Since 1810 science has done more for man than in three centuries before that date. Education, too, is a modern instance al most cotemporary. Cities stand where tbe wild fox dug bis hole on American soil, within the memory of several gentlemen on the right side of the oldest inhabitant. Slavery is gone; law is reformed and re forming. Criminal procedure is improved. Sociology is a science. Legislatures begin to legislate for the masses instead of for the classes. Laissez fairs is done for. and men are beginning to see that a statesman in the next generation must attend to the land question, the labor question, sanitation aud home life in cities, co-operation, government and municipal controls of monopolies or be relegated to the backyard fence.

' THE DUEBER WATOUY0RKS, ' . Canton, Ohio.- xeZKtVa CHRISTMAS WEEK. The Time of Joyous Festival and Grateful Feeling, A MOTHER'S GRATITUDE. Since the beginning of the fifth century, not withstanding there il a difficulty in accept ing the twelfth month as the date of tha nativity, it Deing the height ot the rainy season in Judea where neither flocks nor shepherds could have been at night in the fields of Bethlehem, the 25th day of Decem ber bas been generally agreed upon, set aside and kept by all Christian communities in mem ory of the birth of tbe Savior, apparently lay ing more stress on keeping a day in memory than on success in selection of tbe actual and precise date of the event. In all civilized conntries the annual recur rence of Christmas has been celebrated with festivities of various kinds. In none, however, is tt more joyfully welcomed than in America. In one way or another, to some in a greater and some in a less degree, it brings feelings of joy and gratefulness to us all. Duringa recent interview with Mrs. Walker, living at No. 609 Locust street, McKeesport, Pa., the writer listened to the following story of a mother's gratitude and hanpiness for the rescue of her boy. Matter Jesse A. Walker, 503 Locust street. Ma Keesport, 2a. In her own words Mrs. Walker said: "My son Jesse is 10 yearn old; ever since he was a babe of 2 he has suffered almost constantly from an aggravated catarrhal trouble, with all Its terri ble symptoms. 1 sought the help and advice of a great many doctors, but none seemed to un derstand bis case, llo grew worse and worse; tbe disease had undermined bis whole syitem: be became thin and weak, los ing nesh vapidly. 1 bad given up all hope and almost believed he conld not be saved, when I read of Drs.
