Christmas was not meant for children only. The inner-most feelings of all man and woman-kind are touched J by the spirit of good fellowship j that prevails. We are all happier I when we see others happy. This paper wishes every man, woman and child all the happiness and every blessing that ftiay possibly come to them, and in keeping with our usual custom, we are printing in our paper this week several columns of Christmas mat ter to assist in spreading the Holi day feeling. Read it. It will do you good. There’s not a spot of grouch in the entire assortment. % Flowers and Birds In Factories. The time may come when ferns and canary birds will be considered a nec essary part of every factory’s equip ment. In at least one workshop they have been found to serve a most use ful purpose—in a somewhat negative sense, perhaps. In any event. It is susceptible of proof that where flow ers and birds do not flourish the con ditions are not what they should be for human beings. Flowers are re garded as a good test of the humidity of the air. If the air Is too dry, as is often the case in steam heated inte riors, plants will wither and die. Birds, like human beings, demand oxygen. If there be a deficiency of this element, the fact is speedily evi | dent in the drooping spirits of the j birds, their reduced activity and their : unusual silence. The Cheetul. The axis, or cheetul deer of the In dian jungle can claim to be the most ornamental of all the 36 races of deer to be seen gathered together at Wo burn, England. In the early summer, when all the other deer except the wapiti are either shedding their horns or ‘‘in the velvet,” the axis are in perfection, both of color and antlers. The large herd of this species looks as if carved out of ivory and red gold In the sunshine and verdure of Eng lish scenery. Their horns are almost white, their eyes and muzzles of Jet black, their throats white and their sides and backs a brilliant golden tan, spotted with round dots of purest white. Secret of His Success. His character was good, his refer ences were excellent and his ability \vas undoubted. He was a first favor ite for the position. "And now,” said his future employer, "would you mind telling me your politics? It won’t make an> difference to me, really, what side you support, only for the smooth working of my business I And it necessarj often to know the political complexion of some of my employes.” A hard look came into the candidate’s eyes. “Politics?" he said, “what are my politics? The question can be very easily and briefly answered. I’m against" politics.” He was engaged forthwith. Tests for Drunkenness. In a recent court of inquiry in an Indiana town a former bartender was called to the stand as an expert in the matter of what constitutes drunken ness. “Of couree, when a man can’t track right, ha s drunk,” said the for mer bartender, “but outside of that I'm always sure he’s ‘tight’ if he cries and teils what a good wife and family he has; tells me in confidence he 1b mak ing $5,000 a year, or preaches a ser mon to all his fellow-bar-flies on the evils of drink.” Battle Field Statistics. The result of careful observations made at battle-field hospitals by one of the leading surgical authorities of the French gives the relative frequen cy of wounds not instantaneously mortal as: Slight, 60 per cent; seri ous, 15 per cent; very serious, 25 per cent. The experience of recent wars shows the head and the right arm as the most ferquent lodging places of projectiles. Siberian Squirrels. More than four million five hundred thousand gray squirrels were killed last year in Siberia for their fur. The tails alone weighed more than twenty one tons. The animal figuring next in the fur trade of Asiatic Russia, la point of numbers, was the white haret which contributed 1,500,000 skins. Mason and Dixon’s Line. For a long time there was a bitter dispute between Pennsylvania and Maryland as to the boundary line be tween them. The dispute was settled ty two surveyors, Mason and Dixon, who, in 1763-7, ran the line as it now is between the two states. "Mason and Dixon’s Line”—the southern boundary of Pennsylvania—afterward became famous as the division between free dom and slavery. Some Club Suggestions. The members of a Manchester club were using the “suggestion” book for grumbles rather than for the purpose which its name implied, and the com mittee, says the Manchester Guardian, sarcastically put up a notice giving the dictionary meaning of the word “suggestion.” Swiftly two of the grumblers got back at them. One sug gested “that beans and their strings be served in separate dishes” and an other “that smaller egg spoons be pro vided or larger eggs.” - FOR SALE Five or six acres of ground in al falfa, fenced chicken Light.

The case was immediately quarantined and if it be that dreaded disease, it is in the very ; lightest form and little danger of \ spreading. From the fact that chicken pox is reported in the city, some are inclined to believe this j one of them, but it is well that i necessary' precautions have been a taken. !
