How the Date Dec 25 Came to Be Established. There is some disagreement as to the origin of Chrisimas day. The legend ru:'s that in the earliest period of the Christian Church some com- munities of Christians celebrated the festival of Christmas en Jan. 1, others obseovirg it on the 6th of that month. In some ot the eastern churches it was kept about the time of the Jewish Passover, near the end of March. There is also some evidence of its having been observed on Sept. 29, being the Feast of Tabermacits. In or Constantine legally Christianity in the Roman empire, Christmas was observed at the be- ginning of the new year, while in the eastern church it was celebrated on Jan. 6. Pope Julius eventually a compromise, and the 2sth day of December was established. These historical statements have been called in question by some, bnt John Chrysostom, the eloquent preacher at Constantinople in the fourth century confirms them. It is a curious circumstance that established some difficulty has been found in ac: cepting the date of Dec. 25 as the probable day on which Christ was ' born, because, the close of December being usually the height of the rainy season in Judea, itis said that neither flocks nor shepherds could could heve been at night in the fie:ds of Bethlehem This strange objection is considered of such importance that it is incorporated in almost every en- cyclopedia and dictionary which treats of Christmas. It is one ofthe curi- | osities ot literature. The present writ- er has been in those parts at this time of year and has found no difficu ty in “keeping watch by night in the Open fields of Palestine. What is possible for a western traveller used to living in the nineteenth century, mnst have been far earier fora band of eastern shepherds at the beginning of the Christian era. Asthmatasps Too many asthma sufferers give up their search for cure, believing that their particular case is beyond the con- trol of scientific treatment. It is only necessary to such to a new icpe in Dr. point all Chase’s one great remedy which has proven its efficiency not only as a prompt re- lief, but also as a thorough cure for asthma. Mrs. George Budden, Putnamville, Ont., says :—“I feel it my duty to re- commend Dr. Chase’s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, as I had the asthma very bad: could get nothing to do me good. A friend of mine Hersuaded me to try this remedy, I did so, and it cured me.’”’ Tt is impossible to tmagine a better treatment for asthma than Dr. Chase’s Svrup of Linseed and Turpentine. It soothes the excited nerves, clears the bronchial tubes, gives prompt relief to the frightful spasms, and, when used recularlv. thorouchly and permanently cures asthma. 25 cents, all dealers’, or E2manson, Bates & Co..

If you cannot in the harvest Garner up the richest sheave Many a grain, noth 1ipe and golden, Wul the careless reapers leave ; Go and glean among the briers Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that the shadows Hide the heaviest wheat of all.

Thoreau, the New England rhilos- opher of nature, says that the winter is hike a bone thrown toa dog, cold, and hard and meatless Ail he can hope to get from it is the marrow. But the marrow is so rich and sweet that he is satisfied. The winter usualiy comes tous bare and cold, without any external good. But there is a marrow worth a hard Struggle to se. cure, There is the comfort and hap piness ofthe fireside. There is th- help given to the young students at their books. There are the pleasures of reading, and there are all the pro- fits of quiet reflection and seeking atter better thirgs.
