Among the nrny curious legends and superstitions connected with this time of the year is that concerning the Star of Bethlehem and its possible reappearance. The idea that tho star mentioned in the second chapter of Matthew is being looked for now ty astronomers isenti e'y an erroneous one and rests on so flimsy a foundation that it is really remarkable how the error hus been perpetuated through so muny centuries. The only authentic fact is that in November, 1572, a new star of great splendor suddenly appeared in tho constellation Cissiopcia, occupying a position which had previous ly been blank. This citraord'oary phenomenon is a matter of history, being observed by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brake, and, in fact, by a'l tbe scientists of he time. Its uiagoi.ude increased until it is said to hare surpassed even Jupiter in brightness, and finally became visible in the daytime It re taincd its greatest magnitude but for a very short time, when it commenced lo diminish in biilliancy, changing from white to yellow, then to reddish, and finally it became faintly blue, and so diminishing by degrees it vanished from sight in March, 1571, and has never since been seen. There is a tradition, staled by d:Terent authorities, with mure or less vagueness, that similar appearances took place in thisconstellatimintlieye.tr 1-til and 915.

But the idea is certainly a fusi inating one, and many have believed iu it just bocaus they wanted to believe. It is not the only error so perpctua'ed. Is At REV. DR.

In his sermon to day ou, "The War Clouds and What They Mean," he said in part: Christ is coming again. It will be a personal coming. He came first as prophet and priest. He will come again as king at the resurreuiton. He will call the righteous dead from their graves, and the ri'liteous sull alive will be called together. I believe that the Chrisian men and women will disappear sudtleuly from the streets, am! the world will know nothing ab tut it. Men will go ou with busiuess as before. "I cannot prophesy as to the time of His oominu, but aoo'iding to my belief, it looks as if this is Just about tbe time. Look at tbe signs, 1 he Gospel has been preached to all nations; there is general falling away auioog Cbilatiaus from the faith; there is great suffering, a martyr dom such as the world never eaw, for Christ's sake; great earthquakes, and war olouds, and war talk more portentous than ever before.

Character is far more than wealth. It is more precious than jewels of fame. It is the thing to bo sought after with all the soul, with all your might. From early youth to the closing scone you arc building character if you nro living light. If you give your heart to Ood and live for Heaven and imorlnlity, you aro build ing on tho Rock. Wicked men live for self, and are without sterling character thut will stand tho test for tho lust duy, tho final reckoning. A man's thoughts, purposes, activities, desires, have much to do iu shaping, in influencing charac ter. Tho man of true worth, of staunch inflexible, transparent, noble character, is the man who recognizes conscience, enlightened of God, as gu'de and judge and iegnant, No n an of the right char acter, who is walking iu the light, and is taught of tho Holy Spirit, can afford to do wrong under any circumstances. He cannot be persuaded, commanded or com pelled to do wrong, knowingly, deliberate ly wilfully, for the "inward monitor," an enlightened conscience, will rebuke any paltering with it, any lowering of the high standard by which the life is shaped, any dickering or coquetting with sin Such a charaoter ever masters cir cumstances, and is never mastered by cir cumstances. He is true to God and himself always, every who's. What did Joseph say in Egypt when tempted by the Q urn? "How can I do this great wickednesses and sin ugaiost God?" How did Moses bear himself when j in Egypt? He "I'sleeiuud tho reproach of Christ greater riehes than tho treasures of Egypt." He did this when it was all at his command. How later on did the Apostles act under the threats of power? Tbey said to tho pries;s who commanded them to silence "Whether it be right in the sight of G d, to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. We cannot but speak the things which we have seen or heard." Come what may they must ob.'y God. The three He brew young nu n chose the seveo-tiuieB heated fiery luruacn rather than violate coiiscieuoe and follow sin. Martin Lu iher asserted his noble manhood and obedieuce to God atid conscience when he told the Emperor Charles and bis assembly that "it is not right for a Christian to do anything uguinst bis conscience " But why multiply ins.ances to illustrate the victory of oiuscience and the nobility of character character stay ed on God? Secular history is filled with them. The Bible illustrates it again and again. Hampden and I'ytu and Russell and Wesley and hundreds of others have exemplified in their lives the highest de votion to principle and the most faithful obedience to oooscieuce. The character a man has is not built iu a day But trulli, houor, reverend ana purity are asie, are fundamental thereto. How to buitd character is the quesiiun that con cerns every one. It can uut be built by mere self reliance, but by looking to God nd shaping life by His pattern, by His command, by His aid, by the power of the Holy Qhqst. Christ presents trie highest ideal of manhood to the mind of purification, of symmetry, of beauty. Copy them in so ar as you cun. Shape mr own life by His pet feet life. Look to Him. "Christ's example, Christ' sacrifice, Christ's pardon, Christ's help, Christ's love, Christ Himself, in the ful ness of His power, these torm the only true and safe- foundation." Strive ever to be what you seem to be. That is what some wise oue has written. Seek the one perfect exemplar, the one perfeot pattern.

No truer words can be uttered than those which we say that if we find to- ay tho American people at their best; whore men and women are guided in their actions by wholesouio sentiment; where people live righteously; aod whero the best of our customs are crpcluated and lived every day; where our own language is spoken by all; where hearts beat to tho most loyal sentiments; and where tbe people can be trusted to uphold what is the highest and must lasting In our national life wo must turn to the South, How Sunday should be kept, or tbe manner in which it should be observed does not troublo tbe Southern people. Their respect and honor for the day are too great and deep seated lo question its sacredness. Tbey do not question Divine laws in the South; they accept and perpetuate them. Intellectual progress there goes band iu band with strict adherence to the ac ecpted beliefs of religion. The South ern mother does not explain tbe Bible to ber children in the light of so-called "modern teachings;" she places it in their hands ne her mother gave it to her. And with the fundamental principles of religion the Southern child is taught pa triotism and a love of country; hence re ligion and patriotism stand side by side in the education of a Southern child. The Southern people believe in progress but progress along healthy, nlional lines Theories which mentally upset nnd no sympathy with them. They are content to move slowly but safely and surely. And some day when the vast majority of us who live in other portions of the countrv set through our ctimpin? out civil'.zii'on; when wo drop our manners; when we get old enough to understtiud that there is a s.ionghold of conservatism which stands between tyrrunnyand arch ism, our eyes will turn towards the South And we will see there a people who arc American in ideas and iu living; a penph worsbipiul, progressive, earnest, courage ous and patriotic a people who have mado their land against defeat anil preju dice, "the heait of America."

AND SHE WANTED NO BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH IF HE MEANT TO PROPOSE. "Take care of your chest," said the physical culture teacher within the hear ing of a New York Sun reporter, "and the rest of your body will take care ot itself. The chest is the ohief thing to he remembered. Keep it well raised and your head, spine, shoulders will iivoluntarily assume their proper posi tions without any effort on your part. The cry from parents and teachers used to be 'Throw your shoulders back!' But this mistaken notion is now completely exploded. The shoulders have nothing to do with correct posture. It is all the chest, and its elevation or depression will regulate the rest of the body. The chest is the seat of all things spiritual, elevated and ennobling. Bring it into promi nence and you bring into prominence the best qualities of your nature. It his been said that whatever psychological attribute is most marked in a human being is correspondingly most marked in bis physical being. If he's a glutton his stomach is most in evidence; if a scholar or brain worke, bis head is sure to be thrust well forward, but if he preserves a proper intellectual balance he walks with bis chest in advance of the rest of his body. It is curious, too, how one may really influence his own mental condition in this way. Just try and see how im possible it is to say 'Oh, how bappy I am I' with sunken chest and spent breath. One involuntarily lifts h; chest and tales a good, long breath wben he Buys any thing optimistic and brave, for if he doesn't he mi;;ht just as well say 'Have mercy on u - miserable sinners. Tbe effect is the same. There is do surer euro for the 'blues' or like maladies than merely lifting the chest and taking a good, long breath It scares away all the bugaboos of pessimism. EVERY TOWN HAS. A little Button, girl who bad recently learned to repeat the Lord's prayer was asked by her mother if sho knew the meaning of "Forgive us our trespasses." "Why, yes," she replied; "it means ei ease as for going on the grass." The old rhyming prophecy tells us that In every future year of our Lord When the sum of the figures is twenr ty-five, Some warlike nation will draw the sword, But peaceful nations in peace will thrive. One thousand eight hundred and eighty eight was the fifth year of modern timos in which the aggregate of the fig urcs was 25, and it was the first in the series which extends over a period of nearly 200 years, in which tho predic tions of the prophet were not literally fulfilled. In 1699 Russia, Poland and Denmark formed the alliance against Sweden, which Inaugurated the great war which ended in tho disastrous defeat of Charles XII at Poltava. The year 1789 is one of the dark dates in the annals of time because of its being the year in which the French rev olution broke out and raged until after tbe reign of terror. The year 1798 witnessod the famous campaign of Napoleon into Egypt and the formation of the second European ooalition against Fraooe. The next date upon which tho sum total of the figures in the date aggregated 25 was 1879, and in that year Great Britains's troops invaded Afghanistan, leaving behind them a, monstrous trail of blood. Ono thousand eight hundred uud eighty eight, the fifth in this series of combination dale oddities, did not wit ness any formal deplarat'ioq of war, biit ii was onu of the aiwst diouatrous of uii.d ern times as lar us ahipwiccks, untie aooidents. railway disasters and general mishaps are concerned One thousand eight hundred ft" ninpiy sovcn wll ho auother date ' which the 0"Uiinne I fUums aggregate 25, un ltl ero cann t possibly bo but throe others of the minio kind between that lime and the pctiing ol the 2599 Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup has been used for ever fifty years by millions of mothers for ehildren, while teething, with perfect success.

"I see, according to recent statistics, that marriages are decreasing rapidly in number," he said as he looked at her Boulfully. "Are they?" she asked, without much show of interest. "They are, according to the statisti cian, he replied. "I think there must be something wrong with the pres ent social oondition, don't you ?''

The one thing which a woman most dreads barring, of course, a mouse and being out of style is a thunder bhower. ny most estimable women, of charac ter and force, who can lead great cru-1 sades and revolutionize society, go all to pieces at a clap of thunder, and a good many men, too, for that matter. It is not agreeable to be struck by lightning. Nor is at all necccssary. There is a sure preventive as sure as it simple, inexpensive and always access! ble a pair of rubbers. If a woman will mply put on a pair of rubbers when the lightning begins to flash and the thunder to roar, and will stand on the floor so that she touches nothing else, she will be as safe as if she were sealed a glass cage. Rubber is a nonconductor of electric ity, and if the lightning has to go through a sheet of rubber to get at you wi'l leave you alone and lake some thing else. In other words, when you have on a pair of rubbers and are not in contact with anything, you are perfectly insulated. This is not a theory merely. It is a fact proved by innumeral experiences. pair of rubbers has saved many a life a thunderstorm. Last summer Horace W. Folger of Cambridgcport, Mass., was on a pilot boat in Boston harbor, when a thunder showor came up. He was on deck wear- g rubber boots, but steadying himself with one hand by a wire cable from tbe main topmast. Lighting struck the topmast, Bbiveriog it into splinters. own tho cable went the current. Fol ger was knocked unconscious. W hen he recovered, ho was full of aches and 1, but ho pu"ed through. If it had not beeu for the rubber boots, the cur at wou'd have passed entirely through im. As it was the current could not ct thouh h's boots, so it passed down tho c.tb'e: It might be well to add that a pa'r of rubbes to to effective uguinst lightning must be sou'id and whole. Do not put on 11M old pa:f with a crack iu t'ea toe because cleetrchy w'.H get on. of a very small hole when it is uornc ed, aud a pair of defecti ve rubbers will do you no good. New Turk Press. Tho following story is told by Edward McDcrmo.t in an article entitled "Fuu on tho Stump," in The Ceniuvy. A few yean ayo a plain counlry doc tor and a Mr. May, who was fond of jewelry and wore a valuable d'amond stud in his shirt bosom, were running for the legislature in one of our eouutics. ine raoe was olose and hot. At one speaking the doctor made the following fierce and dangerous thrust at his opponent: "Fellow citizens, don't you want an honest man in the legislature? Of course you do. Now what sort of man is my opponent? Why, gentlemen, look at that magiificient diamond he wearsl It is almost as big and bright as the headlight on a locomotive. Your eyes ean hardly stand its glare. It worth hundreds maybe thousands of dollars. At what valuation do you sup pose he has put it for taxlion in his re turn to the state assessor? Why, at the pitiful sum of $20 1" The crowd yelled for the doctor. Three days later the two met again in joint debate. Again the dootor took up his telling themo and held forth eloquently and passionately in denunciation of dishonesty and diamonds and false assessments, and then he again told of May's false return to the assessor. "Look at that gorgeous pin, gentlemen My eyes oan hardly endure its dazzling rays. Solomon in all his glory - "Hold on there, doctor 1" said May Do you mean to say this pin is worth more than 820?" "Yes, I do 20 times or 50 times." "Would you give 820 for it, doctor?' "Of course I would." "Well, you ean have it for that. "All right I" said the doctor, and bo hurriedly oounted out tho money an took the pin. Then May rose to spca and the crowd cheerea mm. lie was undoubtedly "game" and honest, was willing to take what he said the pin was worth. He was elected. A week after the election he called on the doctor and said: "Doctor, I don't want to you of your money Here's your $1 That pin you bought was paste. 1 it in Louisville after your first speech, Here is my real diamond.
