You are the best mother that ever was, and when I am old enough to work, I’ll earn money for you, and then we’ll have nice things and grand Christmases, and be as happy as can be.” ‘ "Hi w The mother pressed her boy to her breast and blessed him, and for his sake affected a cheerfulness she was far from ' Doctor Custer, an’ give ’em to him orders to the men about unloaaing, “Wal,” Mrs. Gooden said, “they’s sev eral us hes bed a han’ in it, but I reckon Doctor Custer is mostly responsible fer it, sense he rode about last night, putting us up to it.

While they remained thus, talking of what all Bennie was going to do when he was older, the doctor came j to see Sis, the little lame girl, as was his iCustom. “She is much better,” he said, after his examination, “and will be able to walk again in a little while.” Then he bustled out and was gone, for he was kept very busy visiting his patients. ‘ Mrs. Bentoa and Bennie rejoiced at the doctor’s announcement, and they felt that they had something to be thankful for, if they were poor, for they had long feared that Sis would always be a cripple. “It's a great consolation to know that little Sis will soon be well and strong again,” the mother said. mouty glad the little one's a gittin’ well, an’ll be able to git erbout.” ‘•It’s a great comfort to me, for I had “It's better than any Christmas pres ent,” Bennie assented.

Her pleasure was not so much on account of | the things received, though it was a great i boon, but because of the knowledge that the people among whom sue lived were kind and generous. All her life she had , lived in the city, and it was little she knew of the open-hearted generosity of The Christmas Carol. Christmas carols are not by any means of recent origin, for they were used by devout Christians long ago when every country was ruled by oarbarians and the life of the people very primitive. As early as the second century they were sung and have been in vogue ever since. The early Christmas carols were deeply religious. They showed pious feelings and sentiments, but in a few years de veloped into wild bacchanalian songs which the clergy promptly forbade to be used. The reaction which followed caused the carols to be more religious again, but all during the Dark Ages they were decidedly frivolous in character. In England under the Anglo-Saxon Kings, they were very merry songs, but occasionally grew to be more than in decent. The early Puritans abolished the use of Christmas carols altogether, and never allowed anything but the psalms to be sung. Since that time they have been about the same in style as at present—some religious and others light and gay. The first regular collection of Christ mas carols known to have been made, was one published in the year 1521. The custom of singing carols on Christmas Eve is an old one, and though not much indulged in throughout this country, is a time-honored practice in England.

It never jives strength or it never gives of execution, and breaks TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES. Von Moltke says: “Beer is a far more dan gerous enemy to Germany than all the arm ies of France.” The Leeds School Board, England, has de cided to allow temperance teaching in its schools by means of occasional lectures. T. B. Butler, of Fresno, California, has this year dried 100,000 boxes of raisins. This is better than wine and brandy making. A Chicago physician has opened a private hospital for the treatment of professional and business men addicted to the drink habit. From the United States Monthly: “To wreck a train is a crime, but to wreck a human soul is a. privilege that the State sells.” “Beer in a hand-bag” is one of the latest devices in New York city for evading the ex cise restriction in the matter of Sunday beer selling. The London Telegraph says the people of London in a year drink 200,000,000 quarts of beer, 10,000,000 quarts of rum, and aO,000,000 quarts of wine. It is estimated that in ninety per cent, of all cases coming before the police justices of New York city the fault may be traced to the use of intoxicants. When a Cincinnati burglar pleaded guilty the other day, and piteu sly alleged that he was drunk when he committed the crime, the Judge gave him two years extra on his sen tence, saying: “The man who gets drunk and commits a felony is worse than a sober man who breaks the law.” Sam Jones relates that he saw in Chicago eighteen thousand men marching through the streets carrying a banner on which was inscribed: “Our children cry for bread.” The procession marched on to a grove where they settled down to a picnic and drank among them fourteen hundred kegs of beer. As the result of a firemen's meeting re cently held in a Chicago engine house by Miss Jennie Smith, national superintendent of work among railroad men, the captain of the corps asked that a committee of ladles be appointed to visit each engine house every Sabbath afternoon to hold Bible temperance meetings and sing Gospel hymns. Dr. Kraut-Ebin^, an eminent professor in th< University of Vienna, says that sixty per cent, of all cases of insanity inherited a predisposition from their ancestors. In twenty per cent, of all cases intemperance is found to be the sole or chief cause, and in thirty per cent, more one of the causes of mental disease. He advises legal measures to combat the habit of intemperance, or the for mation of societies to counteract it.
