John Kingsley, who was sent to Dell- ham fur trial on charge of larceny idf a dug about two months ago, was acquitted on Tuesday. He plena his own case, questioning his witnesses, etc. This was nothing new to him, as he has done so befure. The court room derived nu little amusement out of the case. Ths judge's charge wax in the main favorable to the prisoner. Kingsley describes the food at the jail as "something fierce," especially to a man who has not been convicted, but is simply waiting trial. Any infraction of the rules will deprive a prisoner of his meals. Kingsley gained in flesh, however, and does not look as jif his boarding at the expense of the state disagreed with him in the least.

FRIDAY. DIE EMBER 21. ISM


Little has been said, and probably as little thought, of the beneficent work done by the railroads in :. g and pr mor'g 'he mra-life> >rt on foot for the reef of stricken (.) vesti h. The sands of refugees frum that city received free transportation to any part of the e untry, aml amp mense quantities of supplies were rushed forward wit ont charge. This ready response to the cry of hni man needs characterized all the great rail- way systems of the country, the ex- press, telegraph and telephone com- panies. The cash vase of the serv ices thus rendered is as imp. ss hir to estimate as the amount of human suffering and misery they helped to a'leviale.


A facetious paragraph-writer sug. gests that it will soon be necessary for some ne to start a daily progra- phy in order to keep up with the changes gring on in the world. He might with as much justification have said that we need a daily history, or a daily text-book in naturai philoso- phy, for the same reason. Events now move so rapi ly that any book of in- formation gets out of date much more quickly than at any other period in the world's history. For the pres- ent, however, it will be the daily les- son in geography rather than the da y geography that will chiefly con- cern the rising generation.


In an article on the closing century a writer in Word's Work truly says: "Although it has been the century of the widest conquest. it has been the century a so of the greatest tolera. tion, of the keenest human sympathy the most active helpfulness, in an era of action and of freedom, man has be. come a brother to man as be never became in eras of meditation and mu- thority. It has been the century of heroic fact finding, the century of the emancipation of thought from mys- tery and dogma, and of the yielding of precedent to experience."


Ex-Queen Liliuokalani recently gave evidence of graceful submission to the inevitable. 1. was the occasion of her sixty-second birthday, and a large numberof natives had gathered at her home to pay their respects. As the band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner." the queen arose from her seat and remained standing during the playing, hut when the Hawa; an national anthem was given she kept her seal. It was her way of showing the people that the national hymn of the U'nited States must now be the recognized one of Hawaii.


According to a local report .Judge Ferris, of Cincinnati, is dissatisfied with the present summary methods of converting aliens into adopted citizens. He says: "I'm going to make this cere mony more impressive. The mere act of swearing in these people makes no impressior on them. I shall procure an American flag. and every male candi- date for citizenship will have to kneri and kiss its folds. I want to make it one of the most important arts of their liver. I want them to tingle down to their tors when they bear our uational airn."


The aggregate investments of the C'nited States Life insurance com paniex exceed $1.200,000,000. This would suffice to pay the national debt, and the debts of several stales be- sides; but it is more pleasing, somue- how, to think of the private burdens which, distributed widely and in com- paratively small amounts, this great fund will remove.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.


Present Your Friends with some Tok- en of Your Irvr, However small it May Be.


Oner mere the happy season of the venr is at bund. when we begin to prepare gits of love for Christmas. 1: '% in veil a pleasing ine ate f the rapid spread of feelings of k nd- ness and good w Il throughout the word that the preparation of beauti- ful articles for Christmas gifts affects the industries of all eivi zed nations. The choice of articles for Christmas gifts 's a perplexing pleasure. Ar- cording 10 Emerson, articles of heaitty rather than of use are appropriate for gifts. In giving we have to avoid. on the one hand, the impos'ng of a sense of obligation. and. on the other, of making the discharge of a just obliga- tion the occasion for assuming to our- selves the role of benefactor. The


donation party given at Christmas to the faithful pastor whose past due salary is unpaid is only an unfair method of making him appear the recipient of a favor, while his just claims are disregarded. Nor can we refrain from suggesting to the hus- hand and father: Do not make a Christmas gift to your wife of a new carpet or a pair of shoes or a cooking store, for she needs and has a right to these things anyway, Your little boy needs a new schoolbook for the next session of school. hut he would proh- ahly experience a sense of wrong which it would he difficult for him to explain if he should find it in his stocking on Christmas morning. And we may suggest as an idea wholly for- eign to Emerson that if the husband and father has from negligence or penuriousness failed to provide his wife with a good supply of dry, well- ent wood or fuel for the kitchen stove, or the needed quantity of winter flan- nels, it would he equally inappropri- ate for him to present her with a pair of big pink glass flower vases or some similar article, the price of which might have added vastly to ber com- fort had the money heen placed for spending in her own hands.


Gifts for children depend but lit- tle on their value for the pleasitre they shall give. A honseful of chil- dren can be made entirely happy by a quarter's worth of mixed candy placed in their stockings, each piece of candy being wrapped in a separate paper, thus multiplying the number of gifts, It is very important. however. that the gifts be put in their stockings, The sweet illusion udds a priceless value to the veriest trifles.
