into another world. Soon almost every step makes plainer how great has been the change from Switzerland to Italy. The brooks unbound, leap laughing and making their own sweet music over the cliffs. 'i`he snows havs melted from the path; The air grows warm and. fragrant. The regiments ol hardy pine no longer ‘ struggle in broken lines up'the mountain side, The leaves of the Olive trees glisten in the sunshine. The vines follow the wayside. The very sky seems near and kind. And below, ernbossorned' in verdurc. Lillie M9-ggiore expands be- fore him. As he rests at evening time he knows that the entrance into a new world was marked by the word "Italia" upon that stone at the

summit of the pass.

So in a_ much higher sense human-

ity has crossed a new boundary line between two eras up to Bethlehem was one way growing bleaker and more barren and colder as _the human race hastened on. Down from Bethle-

hem has been another and sunnier, happier time. _

The one civilization was as Swit-

zerland sbut in among its icy Alps? the other is as the genial and fruit-

ful plain. The coming of the Christ-

Child meant a difference, such as no

other ebild's has ever made. Thst

birth marked the entrance into the sphere of sense and time of ons who had existed from Eternity and is- volved more important consequences to the human race than any other birth has ever done, of all who look- ed, that first Christmas night on the Babe of Bethlehem, there was not one-not Herod, nor the wise men, nor the shepherds, nor Joseph not even Mary herself nor any mortal on any single spot of the old, old world, -who so much as dreamed of all that He was to bring to pass. It is no faii-.romance but sober fact when we say that when Mary’s Son was born volume one in the world‘s strange tumultuous history was closed and volume two was opened. Something happened that holy and forever mom- orablc night while men the wide world around were sleeping and only a few shepherds were watching which ushered in a new crn. in the world's thrilling and uncensiug pilgrimage.

These lamps are of the tung- sten variety und range in power from 200 c.p. to 400 c.p., both giving an extremely bright and radiant light. Their many customers will appreciate the ffrm’s evident concern for their convenience and the assist.: ance afforded in making their pur- chases. Another feature of the new lights is the abolition of the odor which almost invariably accompanies the Keros lights. The firm are to be congratulated on the marked im- provement enectcd by their latest change.

Why, this man was so confounded

mean that he gave his cliildren» ten cunts apiece every night for going to lied without their supper, but during the night when they were asleep, he went upstairs, took the money out of their clothes and then whipped them in the morning for losing it.

The other day I dined with him,

and I noticed the poor little servant girl whistled all the way upstairs with the dessert; and when I asked the mean old scamp what made her whistle so happily he said: “I keep her whistling so she cnn't eat the raisins out of the cake.” `

Another mean man was old Backus

James Bryce, in his agreeable

"Principles and Maxima for the Reading of Books," gives this bit of advice: “Ono should read in a criti- cal thot is to say. a searching, test- ing spirit. Uv" 'uirit ought, no doubt. to be respectful to the author of the book if he happens to be if well-inforincd man; but respect is not the same thing as submission."

That word “well-informed” makes us think Mr. Bryce must bc speaking of books that aim to give informa- tion, to supply facts, or to show the relation between facts. Books that do this, or f.h`at try to change the read- `er’s mind, may of course snlcly bc read in a searching, testing, critical spirit. But. how about books that stir the feelings or set a lighted match Lo the inlaginution? ls it not true that reading such boolas in' ii, critical spirit is almost .the same- as not reading them at all? That the only way to read them is to be tem- porarily submissive?

Herr Von llof- mannsthal can criticize with the bcsi. of them as his prosc essays show.

Anybody who looks buck across thc

They laid their spell upon him so strongly that his criti- cal faculty was inhibited. Nor, if he is wise, will he bc sorry that he once read them in this way.-New York Globe.

SHOCK FOR Tlild (`liUlRGH.

Tho Church of England should be

shocked by tho revelations nf the bish- op of Lincoln. Hc says that when the licensing bill was bcforc thc house of lords, the bishops received letters from the great brewery firms, in which the writers reminded the cler- gyman of the financial ossistancc fcn- dered to the church. One bishop won told that but for the brewers' moncv
