The coming year will have 365 days in :ts calendar, but really will have only one working day. and that is called "To-day." That is all you will be accountable for; ncne but a feci lives in to-morrow. Serve your Mas ter by the day Each four and twenty hours brings its ot duties to be dune, its own loads to be carried, and its own nrogress to be made heaven ward. There never was a Christian yet stron- enough to carry to-day's duties with to-morrow's worries piled on the top of then views, and never try until you get to the: Take short to climb walls . or to cross a bridge until you reach it. Begin every day with Jesus Christ, and then, keep ing step with him. march on to duty over the roughest read that lies be fore you. and m the teeth of the hard est head wind ycu may encounter. "3Iy times are m thy hands." and they could not be in better hands. Our times are in our all-wise and all-loving Father s hands, both for control and for concealment. He takes care Gf us. and yet we can not tell ;ust what to-morrow or the next year will bring forth. Facing tne N;w Year. A new year is upon us. with new duties, new ccmiicts. new trmis. and new opportunities. Start on the jour ney with Jesus to walk with him. to work for him. and :o win souls to him. 4. happy year will it be to those who through every path of trml. or h-d j every hill of dimculty. or over every sunny height, march on in closest fel lowship with Jesus, and who will de termine that, come what may, they pae Christ every day.

Right Beginning of New Year Meant for Them Success. No nation has ascribed so much importance to the beginning of things as the Roman. To that people there was a magical connection be tween a right beginning and success. To them New Year's day was the day of days. It was the anniversary of the founding of the city of Rome, which they considered the greatest event in the world's history. They called the first month of the year January in honor of Janus, the god of doors and beginnings. (The world still uses a heathen calendar.) At dawn of the new year the people, robed in white, sacrificed elaborate of ferings to their gods, especially to Janus. Fraternal greetings, benevo lent gifts and exchangee of costly presents marked the day. All evil speaking, quarrels or excesses were for one day laid aside and the ideals for a nobler future were brought to mind by parables enacted in public places. The soldiers renewed their vows of loyalty to Caesar and put an new uniforms. The Animals' Season Greetings. The action and voices of domestic animals on New Tear's day are said to be more significant than any other omens. A dog's cheerful bark in the morn ing is a most auspicious sign, while his howl is very unfavorable. To meet the cat on the morn of the New Year is considered by people in the Latin countries as a sign that they will change their residence, and it also betokens ill for the future. Throughout southern Europe it Is regarded as a most fortunate sign to see a Ig, signifying plenty fcr the coming twelve months. is to sweep onward with such mighty strides as have never before been con jured in the magic of earthly dreams. As to the Old Year, it is dead and gone and let it pass without regret. If it has brought us blessings, we can be grateful, to be sure; and if it was not good to us in every way, why, let it pass and sleep forgotten. The thing to think cf is the present and the future. If we have had losses, let us now recoup them. If we have had heartaches. let us soothe them with the balm of good cheer and courage. Above alL let us remember that with the passing of the Old Year there is one year the less for us to live, and so the greater behooves us to make the best of those that are to come. "So Life's year begms and closes; Days thougn shortening still m- shine; What though youth gave love and rosea. Age still leaves us- friends and wine." Japanese Becks. Japanese books contain scarcely more material than the average maga zine article, but a single story may consist af more rha?i one hundred volumes. Willingly Pay Money far Removal of "Beauty Spots." Feaiale scoffers who deny that men have been, blessed by nature with, so seductive a charm as a dimple will change their tune ,when they hear what the beauty doctor has to say on. the subject. "Dimples are jusr as common among- men as among women," says that apostle of the good advantage. Beard and mustache combine to hide their charm. Anyhow, men are not proud of dimples. They consider them a sign of effeminacy. Now that smooth faces are the fashion, the man with a dimple in cheek or chin is hard put to it to hide that beauty mark. In his extremity he seeks relief from me. " Treat can I do with these devilish dimples? says he. "'Take 'em out, I advise. 'Can you do it? he asks. ''Sure, say3 L " 'All right, says he; go ahead. "Then I begin treatment. In the past year I have removed sets of dim ples from men's faces that any woman of their acquaintance would! have paid $100 for. All men with money ' to spend patronize the beauty doctor more shamelessly than they used to; ' out of all the miracles they wish performed there is none they insist I upon so stoutly as the removal of j dimples." IS HAPPIEST AWAY FROM POMP. Austrian Emperor Finds Rest in So- ' ciety of Grandchildren. t Although Francis Joseph of An- ' tria is a central ngure in the most ex clusive of European courts his din ners are quite informal in tone except on rare state occasions. Usually his majesty converses in the liveliest man ner with his guests. In the smoking room, to which he almost invariably accompanies the men, he joins in the general chat, laughs at the jokes and ' shows marked preference for the frankest replies to his questions, since the tragic death of his son and wife , the emperor leads a solitary life for a . greater portion of the year. In sum- " mer. however, he makes his way to his lovely villa at Ischl. in the beautiful Salzkammergut and here is surround- ed by his daughters and their children. It is then that pathetic old man is hap piest, playing grandfather" with the babies, taking walks with them and forgetting for a brief season the trials and sufferings, misfortunes and dis appointments which life has brought him. Eaccage in Guatemala. "The railroads of the United States are very particular as to what they will accept for transportation as bag gage." remarked Karl E. Kneiss. -bur down in Guatemala the railroads are not so particular. 'While I was down there some time ago I made a list of different articles of merchandise that 1 saw checked as basgase on the Western Guatemala at the town of Retalhuleu. Here it is: One cage of chickens, a ' basket of ducks, a bundle of dried nsh a crate of live iguanas, various empty baskets, a crate of fghting cocks, baskets of eggs, baskets of fruit, sil ver in sacks, a bundle of sailed clothes that some woman was taking dawn ' to the river to wash, furniture, hides J in packages, smoked crabs that smell- . ed to the next station, baskets of bread, a small alligator and two live j t pigs "All of that miscellaneous mer chandise and farm product was hand led in one car along with the persona! baggage of passengers, as a result of ' which custom a traveler scon finds himself saturated wiih the complex odors of the-country.' San Francisco Chronicle. Blue Dcgs With Pink Tails. "I will never forget my first experi ence in hospital work." said Chief Sur geon ilillar of the Central emergency hospital. "There was a green nurse in the detention ward and we had a very violent case in there a man in the worst stage of delirium tremens. I was awakened in the middle of tne night by the head nurse, who request ed me to come at once to the patient. When I got there I found him raving and very violent, with the new nurse scared out of her wits. I said: " 'Why did you let him go so far. I left you some medicine to give him as scon as he got delirious. " 'Yes. doctor,' she replied : 'but ycu told me to give that to him if he saw any more snakes, and this time he was seeing blue dogs with pink tails. " Eschanze. Helpfulness. A cheerful look will help to lirht The sioomy path that many tread: Will help illume their darkest night. Dispelling clouds of dread.

Basing his prognostications on he habits of the mole, an aid mole-kOr in Olten. Switzerland, announces hat the coming winter will be the longest and severest for the last fifteen years, the moles having added two deeper galleries to their usual winter quarters, and laid in double the ordi nary provisions. American Suscly cf Copper. t Two years ago the United States I had a stirplus of copper. Now it is , the reverse. A constantly increasing demand and a constantly decreasing visible supply is the present state of the copper industry. Empress Favors Orchids. The empress of Germany is passion ately fond of flowers, but for some time has favored orchids, of which she possesses a great veriety. Postcards cf Peat.
