7HE CHILDREN'S HOTJ&l When the day breaks on Christmas morning it is the children's hoar—tfce little ones who are not yet old enough to have their faith weakened in the good old Saint Nicholas. For days and weeks before Cbristmps be has been in their thoughts, and when they lay their •j curly beads to sleep on Christmas eve, it is with unfaltering trust that the morning will find tbeirstockings loaded with the pledges of his nightly visit.

At the flrat gray glimmer of dawn they are wide awake, and out of bed they tumble. The drowsy appeals of papa and mamma, that they will wait a little while longer, are overruled with shrill laughter and clamor. There is no restraining tbem. A chorus of Ob's and Ah's! breaks forth at* they take down their stockings distended with toys and pretty things until all resemblance is lost to the chubby pink feet that or dinarily fill tbem. The little folks olamber upon the bed of mamma. It is impossible te resist their contagious gaiety. It Is tbeir hour, and for the time being all other terrestrial affairs must give place to tbem. Then comes the mining down into the stockings, and every lucky find is rewarded with a littie whoop of delight. Papa must of course bo as much surprised and pleased at each discovery as they are. Who would not take part in such a beautiful little comedy. The deception is so innooent that the angels mightsraile upon it. This.is the time to tell the little folks once again the story of 1,800 years ago, of the babe that was born on Christinas morning and laid in a manger of

Star that burned brightly In the darkness and lighted the wise unon from the east, and of the angel .choir that sang, "Peace on earth, good will toward men," while a soft celestial light shone over the Judean hills where "Shepherds watched their Hocks by night, all seated on the ground"—the old, old story, that never wears out and never wearies, the story so ineffably beautiful, so preolous to humanity, and never more lovely than when told to innocent ohildren in the gladness of Christmas morning. Of such is the kingdom of Heaven. It 1s the smile of Heaven that lights up their faoes, and it is sweet for world-worn men and women to catch a little of the reflected brightness.

PROFESSOR

sity declares that-the time will come at no distant day when the Anglo-Saxon raco will be a thing of the past, and will bo supplanted by the Chinese. He says the Mongolians are In a physioal condition unoqualed by any nation on the face of the earth, while the AngloSaxon race, on the other hand, he represents as being well-nigh exhausted, and for his part says he cares not how soon the white race makes way for a better one, presumably the aluiotid-^yed Celestials. If this is a frame of mind that is developed by higher education, socalled, it were better that some of our unlversltios were razed to the ground and the exponents of advanced thought converted iuto hewers of wood and drawers of water, and thus restore their exhausted physical condition. They would at least be of some use to the public theu. They certainly are not whon they indulge in such silly twaddle as this.

ANTICITATINO the passage of the Wilson bill, agents of the Belgian cutlery manufacturers are selling vast quantities of their wares to the*, retailers and jobbers throughout the east. Of course every gross of knives that are made in Belgium and sold here will lessen by just that much the amount of work doue by American cutlery makers, but thou they will have before them the possibility of buying their own knives Cheaper, And it will be a supreme satisfaction to a man out of work to know that be can buy goods cheap—if he only has the money.

INPTANA was seventy-seven years old as a state last Monday, having been admitted to the Union December 11th, 1816. She then had a population of 70,000, that has grown to 3,192,404. In those early days a "Hoosier" was referred to with derision, as sonie uncouth, uncultivated creature, but now the word has oome to represent all that is good in morals, intelligence and patriotism. Great is the Hoosier state, and still greater are her people I

TWK present time, when the government officials are figuring on how to make our revenues meet the expenses, would be a most auspicious occasion for a reduction in salaries from the president clear down the line. There are more government officials who do not earn their salaries than do.

As if this year had not already furnished enough horrors, a span of the new bridge over the Ohio river at JeflSsrsonviile fell yesterday, causing a loss of many lives. When the casualties of 1893 are footed up it will be found that all previous records have been broken.

Catarrh Cannot JBe Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, aud in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this cuttntry for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfeot combination of the two Ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for tes timonlals, free.

The publication of a distinctively tion within the reach of the majority, if Western magazine ought to be success ful, and it will be, no doubt, for the Chicagoese are so loyal to Chicago that they would make a Chicago magazine successful if not a copy was sold outside her limits, even if every one of her in habitants had to buy two oopies^apiece

THE law has triumphed over Robey, and a prizefighter has been sent to the penitentiary for two years, for his pugilistic efforts. Let it be said for Governor Matthews that but for his efforts to suppress Robey it would still have flourished.

MCKANE, the GraVesend bulldozer, has been given thirty days in jail for his in teriference with elections, but the judge who sentenced him neglected to appoint some one to conduct his Sunday-school class while he's behind the bars.

IN these days of war between the rival press associations it is considered of enough importance to cable from Berlin that the "Queen of Saxony is ill with influenza." This is news gathering of the most artistic sort.
