i Is Christmas time—the holiday
1 season, when all the world is im
bued with that'spirit of good cheer
and good will to men. 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.”

A mild case of smallpox was re- ■
ported last Saturday in town, Vin- ■]
cent John being the unlucky vie- !
tim. 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

taken. !
