CII.RIS i MAS.
The old• time Christmas is gone, and
wilt never come back again. The old
folk sigh as they look away baek to
the old times, and think of the Christ -
rouses that; were so joyous. The
glamour of youth and health and hope
rests upon those dear old days, By a
beneficent law of the human mind all
that was then palette' or unpleasant is
forgotten, or, ifremembered at all, is
remembered ..s a dream of the night
when the morning has come, while all
that was bright and joyous is vivid to
the memory aud will be fere%er. One
thing we haves lost that no future
RAISING ONES '..CO FIVES.
The 'reroute Evening News has this
to say about the new Dominion $1 bills:
The $1 bills of the new Dominion is
sue are not safe to leave in circulation.
The groundwork is the same as that of
of the reveeue stamp used on cigar
boxes, and by simply cutting out a fig
ure from the latter and pasting it over
the figure 1 of the bill a $5 bill can be
manufactured that will be readily ac
cepted Several of such bills have been
passed, and people should examine $5
bills closely to see that they are not
taking a one. As the Ottawa Citizen
say s, when a man wants tomake the'
raise of a $1 bill all he has to do is to
secure the assistance of a cigar box.
NEw ELECTION REGULATIONS.
The bill tie atnmend the Proviueial
Election Act, which the Attorney-Gen-
erat has brought into the Legislature,
coutains a number of important pro-
visions. It is enacted that the per-
sonal expenses of a candidate, which
may be paid to him directly, shalt in

a holiday indeed. They took time for
it. It came at a season when work
was light. On the farm to feed the
stool; and keep up good fires was about

all v
electricity had not yet come forth to
hartisli slow motion forever from the

painful, Gatch the contagion of the
times and the general whirl.
The change in the drinking customs
of the old time is a happv one, too.
Decanters' filled with liquors were
found in the sideboards even of some
professed Christians, and eggnog, that
stupefier of the brain and deceiver of
the stomach, Bowed like water. A
great change for the better has taken
place. The offer of intoxicating liquor
isnot now considered a requirement of
true hospitality, and the jewelled hand

hood with the wine glass.' The world
moves slowly, onward and upward.
That is tlia consolation that comes to
us in the midst of the smoke and dust
of the hard battle we are fighting for
the ovexthrow of error and evil and
the establishment of truth and right.
eousness in the earth. Every Christ
mas brings us nearer the land of prom-
ise. Christian ideas are more widely
diffused, Christian ethics are becoming
more the rule of conduct,and the institu
tions of Christianity are more and more
recognized as the chief factors in the
world's progress. This 1897 Chrismas
s the brightest that bas yet dawned
upon the world. The perfect day will
come. Let us work and wait -work
with the energy born of love, and wait
with the patience born of faith.
" Christmas comes but once a year,"
and its associations should awaken the
latent goodness in every heart. Let
each try to remember his or her boy-
hood or girlhood days, and no matter
how many the years or how heavy the
burdens which fate has placed upon
your shoulders, on this day be a child
again. Tell over the old stories that
shall revive scenes and faces of the
dead but dear -remembered past, and
let joy and gladness drive away dull
care. Let this also be the season for
wise forgetfulness, for the softening of
resentment, and for reconciliations.
"Let the dead past bury its dead"
Blot out old grudges and strive to firm.
ly cement new friendships. It may be
'hat during the past year some of us
;:ave been forgetful of .all else but self;
have been trampling our more gener-
ous natures in the dust in the pursuit
of honor and wealth. If the spirit of
the Christmas season serves to remind
such of his duty to his fellow pilgrim
on life's journey it will have served a
good purpose. To every reader of the
ADVOCATE is extended the. kindliest.
greeting, and on each and all may the
season's choicest blessings fall. -A
Merry Christmas and many returns of
the day we celebrate.
SHouLD l'AR3iERS ADVERTISE ?
This question was discussed in a
very forcible way receutly by an Ohio
farther at an Institute meeting. The
following contains some of the more
salient points brought out in the ad
dress.
" Have you thoroughbred cattle,
sheep or hogs? Have you extra chick
ens, ducks, turkeys or geese? Let pen
pie know that you have them. Has
your boy got some pet rabbits, pigeons
or ferrets? Let him do a little adver-
tising on his own account.
"have you extra uice wheat, corn,
rye, barley, buckwheat or flax, that is
suitable for seed ? Does anyone know
about it? Did you ever tell your wife
even ?
Have you nice clean oats that you
can guarantee free from smut or weed
seeds? Fifty thousand farmers are
hunting for it. Have you any of the
grass seeds that you can guarantee
free from weed seed ? Don't be afraid
you will break that market, there will
always be a demand.
" Now, the next important question is
the medium. This must be determined
by the person interested, and only gen-
eral directions will apply. You know
the class of people who ought to buy
what you have. Place your advertise
meat iu the paper that reaches the lar-
gest number of that class. Not two or
three lines that you cannot find with
your spectacles, but a good big chunk
out of a corner of a page where every-
body can see it. Don't sponge your
advertising. That disgusts the news-
paper man and makes your competitors
mad.
" Don't be ashamed of your business.
Let people know you are proud of it.
Advertise your business as other people
do, and compel others to respeet you.
because of your enterprise."

THE FAR EAST SITUATION.
Brittsh Government iteticent, But the
Scarp is Looked on as Premature.
London, Dec. 27. -In well-informed
circles the general impression prevails
that the alarm of newspapers and among
the public in regard to the ear East is at
least premature. While the members of
the Government are reticent, they are
evidently sincere in disclaiming the least
alarm, The impression gathered in Min-
isterial quarters is that Groat Britain is
carefully watching events, biding her
time, and that she certainly will not fail
to act promptly and vigorously at the
proper moment. It is intimated in quar-
ters usually well posted on suck matters
that Germany dither has, or wishes to
have, an understanding on the subject
with Groat Britain. This view is strongly
supported by Princo Henry's visit to
queen Victoria, at Osborne, by his sub-
sequent trip to London, and by the auto-
graph letter which the Prince is said to
have taken to Her Majesty from Emperor
William, of which confirmation is forth-
coming. The Emperor's letter to the Queen
is regarded as being a distinctly concilia-
tory step on tho part of Germany.
But there is no doubt that Great arl-
tain is quietly preparing for all eventual-
ities. Should it become clear that Ger-
many and Russia havo really commenced
a game of grab, Great Britain will bo
prepared to assert her claims for a divi-
sion of the spoils. That Russia does not
expect trouble, is shown in the fact that
she has not one battleship in the far East.
But of course if Russia does not leave
Port Arthur in the spring her stay there
may lead to other grabbing. The British
Government, however, is apparently not
borrowing trouble. From a trading point
of view it is pointed out that even in the
event of tho opening of three now foreign
ports they will probably bo as little
harmful to Shanghai as Boston, Bttltfmore
and Philadelphia are to New York.
The nominations at Lucan Monday
ended in an Irishmen's picnic. Mr.
John Kennedy started the row by mak-
ing some aspirations on Ex Councilman
Towhy, which were resented by Mr.
Towhy and his friends. As a result of
the small riot, which followed, Mr. Ken
nedy's nose was smashed and several
others of the combatants were more or
less battered.

Points Out the Qnoor Combinations Ex-
isting Among the Nations.
London, Dee. 27. -The Standard says
in an article on the situation in Chinni: -
"We have for Christmas contemplation
one of the most singular tangles that
have ever tried the patiences and perspic-
acity of diplomatic experts. The eastern
question in Europe, as affected by tbo
system of continental alliances, was haill-
ing enough in its intricacy, Republican
France, from mere fear of Germany, or
from a desire for revenge, became the
sworn friend of despotic Russia. But
while the Czar is full of grace and enthu-
siasm toward President Faure, he has
also the language of . sympathetic, warm
friendship and close understanding to
offer the German Emperor, and such is
the lucky magnetism of the Muscovite
autocracy that Austria permits itself to
forswear its distrust and dismiss, for the
time being, any extreme apprehension
about the Balkan Peninsula. But Aus-
tria-Hungary is itself rent by internecine
disputes which, to those who watch with
admiration and gratitude the noble devo-
tion of , the Emperor King, appear to
threaten the cohesion of the vast fabric
that is held together by his personal in-
fluence.
"Italy meanwhile is forded by reverses
which the auspicious gallantry of its
army has failed to avert, to reduce the
sphere of itsactivity abroad and. husband
its resources at home. Groat Britain, be-
cause it refuses to indentify itself either
with the Russo -French of the German -
Austrian alliance, becomes':a mark for
the ill nature of.at least two powers. Yet
a concert of all these powers- is contrived
to prevent the refopening of the. eastern
question, which, it is recognized, would
be the signal for the long -postponed col-
lision. This co-operation, however, per -
/nits Germany to show its bad temper.
and masterfulness at the expense of Crete
and Greece.
