UfB CHRIS rMAS. From the best evidence available Christmas lias been very much enjoyed. The little folks whose pleasure is mainly Foneht found Santa Clause to a haye been on time and wel. ttocked. Happiness beams in nvery little countenance and we trust that the germs of kindness nd good will, gentleness and meekness have been warmed into new growth. The world, that knows Christmas only as a day of Kensuality, has had its ehare of boisterous carousal, hideous up j oar and reckless desecration but t liat did not stay the current ot devotion in the sanctuaries nor interfere with family reunions, f ecial gatherings and kindly bestowal of mementos that form i.ew links of attachments be l ween friend and friend. There is much to deplore in the desecration of a celebration of a F acred event but the devout can l ot abandon the use ot the com memoration to overcome its abuse. Our Christmas is dear to us. What could we do without it ? The jear '98, it Beema, ha been a record brea'rjn the volume if its tusinees, especially in the closing months. Col.

Celebrated Her Slntn Hlrthdny. On the 24th of December at her home at St. Johns church Stella, daughter of Rey.

Eighty-five were present to reap Miss Stella's hospu talitiea and a number of nice pres ents were in turn given her. Mrs. Frank Poteat Dead On Tuesday afternoon at her home near Glass, the wiJow of Mr. Frank Poteat died, having suffering with an abscess on her liver. Mrs. Poteat was about 60 years of age and outs lived her husband a number of years. One child is left without parents. The remaina were interred in the graveyard after the preaching of the fanera! at B.'thpige Presbyt?rian church . Lying ftonnd Loose; Picked Cp. It waa suppoaable that Europe in her greed for territory had certainly Bnatcbed up every available Island in the Eastern hemisphere but it aeema not. There is one lying round loose as to ownership. It is called Wake Island and it lies in the line of a cable to the Philippines. The President baa ordered it seized iB the name of the United States atd the Stara and Stripes hoisted over it. It ia a mere coral forma ion incapa ble of supporting inhabitants. It ia about three milea long and its chief feature ia a Bait lake in the centre. It ia only wanted aa a cable station and will answer the purpose. An optimist will bore one to death talking of bis successes and a pes simist will give one the blues talks ing of his failures, so it is beat to avoid both and seek the compan ionship of s)an agreeable fellow who will listen while you talk of yourself. Ex. i lir. LI.VAC kA i-ir.si., The eclipse on Tuesday uiyLt wco a success for observation. OdIj for a short while waa it hidden from v!ew. It was to be seen n every stage. The cloud obscured only a part of the totality. There is a light on the face of tbe moon during an eclipse that ib not altogether easily explained. It ia fairly theoretical at least that te moon reflects enough light from the stars to make it visible, yet it shows a varying tint and a degree of illumination when eclipsed that is not eeen when the dark aide is chiefly to na or when it eclipses the sun. We would be glad to havo some one who knowa to rise and txp' .ia the phenomenon. We noticed that soino one after a total eclipse of the san seemed Lo find proof satisf actory that the moon is without atmosphere in the fact that every ray of the son visible at all had its full dazz'ing brightn-fs which would Lot have been thus if the moon were surrounded by an atmosphere like tbe earth, presum ing that tie raja would b9 dimmed and tinted aa the aun at rising and setting. Thia theory eeema re! utetl by the eclipse of the moon, for the line of eclipse ia fairly well defined and the raja are bright, the suns rays, though, pa33 through the greatest passible amount cf the earth's atmosphere to reach the moon. Knowing thit tbe earth ha an atmosphere thit do;s net Li the rays of the sun frcm shining in full brightness on the moon, it i: proven that tbo moon may bve r.v. atmosphere without dimming t!i san'a rays a3 they p.i33 c'ose by it to us.

The other wa3 that it was an effort a poetic narration of a tragedy that it were an outrage to tender Ben3ibili ti'8 to attempt to put in verse by any but a master mind ffith motives far above a vein of vanity. We would like to whisper in the authoi'i ear that he or Bte will probably never get off a valuable poem, but subj cts for practice should not be of thtt solemn nature that ehocking repulaiveneaa may be added to fail ure.
