most important feature.
Where the animal matter alone Is to be
treated it can be handled at a profit, and
that is the reason why such material is not
delivered to the garbage man.
Every bit of meat, fat, bone and skin is
utilized to advantage in the Chicago pack
ing houses, and this same material col
lected from the markets, butchers. hotels
and larger boarding houses in Washington
could be utilized to almost equal advan-
tage here by the same processes.
When the Contractor VIII Make IA
Mistake.
If a contractor puts up plant and Sc
cures the contract upon the assumption or
assurance that he is to get all-animal and
vegetable matters-and gets the vegetable
with but small amount of the animal
he will not make a success, because the
two kinds of matter, although garbage,
require different treatment and the profit
derived from the recovery of oils, fats and
glue from the animal matters will not re-
imburse him for the expense incurred in
the reduction of the vegetable matters.
If he receives everything-animal and
yegetable-the profit derived from the ami
NAL will reimburse him for the expense in
Cured in the reduction OF the vegetable.
1t is therefore not only necessary, but
fair, that there should be a definite under
standing before final arrangements are
made, in order that the city may know
what it is to deliver to the contractor, and
the contractor may know what he is going
to receive.
The city could well afford to take hold of
this matter on its own account, and de-
rive whatever profit there. may accrue,
either from the utilization, of the vegetable
matter as fertilizer Qn conjunction with
the street sweeping), or from the recovery
Of valuable products from the animal mat
ters having two separate plants for the
animal and vegetable matters, respectively.
There is no question but that the cost of
garbage collection and street sweeping
could be thereby materially reduced-and
proportionately reducing our taxes-while
we would have the further advantage of

THEIR CHRISTMAS GIFT.

Only Twelvemonth More of Life, But 1t

She had lain for six months in the big
white bed in one of the upper rooms of
a Michigan avenue house. Her hus-
band was rich; they were both young

had been moving about noiselessly.
Across the hallway the husband sat be-

came into the room, that he was read

out with anxiety and the knowledge
that one he loved was passing through
the valley of the shadow and he power

CHRISTMAS.
Facts Which Show That This Holiday Is
Christ's Birthday.

Facts Which Show That This Holiday Is
Christ's birthday.
Is to-day the veritable anniversary of
the birth of Jesus of Nazareth? 1t is
a question often asked, but never quite
satisfactorily answered. Reverent pre-
disposition can always find sufficient
evidence to answer yes, while it is to be
noted that the question of itself i'm
plies a degree of religious skepticism.
Men have even stood in pulpits with
little enough to do to devote an hours
oratory to the disproof of it. 1t is quite
as certain that Jesus was born on the
25th of December as that Augustus,
the emperor under whom he was born,
was born in the siXtythird year before
him. or that Tiberius, the emperor
under whom he died, came into the
world forty-two years, one month and
nine days before him. That is to say, it
is the decent habit of the world to ac-
cept what testimony, tradition and his
tory have to offer concerning the birth
days of the great and Herewith be con-
tent.
1t is certain that as early as the year
$50 the date we now celebrate was uni
versally recognized among Christians
without a question as their Saviours
natal day. That fact alone is all-suf-
ficient for succeeding generations. If
all records and illusions to the date of
the birth of George Washington were
to be blotted from all American writ
ings earlier than 1900 it would be suf-
ficient for posterity that at the begin
ming of the twentieth century the 22d
of February was universally recognized.
and that the day was observed as legal
holiday. This is the best foundation
we have for the authenticity of Decem-
Der rs as the birthday of Jesus.
In the year 140 st. Justin Martyr, the
first great Christian apologist, said that
the best record extant of the birthday
of Christ was to be found in the archives
at Rome. Addressing the emperor and
Roman senate, he said: ''There is GER
tain village in the land of Judea, dis
tant thirty-fve stadia from Jerusalem
in which Christ Jesus was born, as We
can learn from the enrollments COM
pleted under Cyrenius, your first pro-
curator in Jerusalem" In the year 200
Tertullian said the same thing: Ell
nally, concerning the census enrolment
of Augustus, which the Roman archives
preserve as faithful witness of the
Lords nativity" Any man in the nine
teenth century who wants more eX-
plicit proof of a matter that is not of
great vital moment anyway must have
in his mind private scheme in which
the rest of the world can have no pos
sible interest.-Detroit Evening News

Old Santa had climbed, with fine Christmas tree,
Down chimney at jest twelve o'clock,
And decked it all over with gifts and toys
Using up good part of his stock;
There were soldiers and dolbabies, guns and books,
Hanging all about over the tree,
And Little wax candles of every hue,
Besides candies as thick as could be.

Each brazen throat triumphant swells,
As If, old bells, 'twere much to you.
This happy, merry, gladstone time,
You're ringing in with joyful chime.
Perhaps tits so; so long you've hung,
So long in that old steeple gray,
Methinks each iron, changing tongue
Is glad to tell it's tale to-day.
Each ringing, swinging, tuneful bell
Its twelve months tale would gladly tell.
A happy twclvemonth twas to some;
Alas! that twas not so to all!
But Joy and grief alike must come,
Into each life some rain must fall.
Oh, tolling, rolling, heavy bells,
How solemn sound your deep-toned knells!
You've rung for life, you've rung for death,
The gladstone lay, and last sad rite;
You've sped the old years parting breath,
And welcome oft the New Year bright:
You changing, twanging, noisy bells,
That each a different story tells!
But, oh, your maddest, blithest tune,
Your gayest, brightest, sweetest lay,
You chime from June to sequent June,
On ev'ry happy wedding day.
Then trilling, thrilling, blithely swells
Your pecan glad, oh, marriage bells!
But, dear old bells, whate'er your song,
Though sad or merry be your lay,
I've loved you well my whole life long,
I'll love you till my dying day,
You ripping, rhythmic, dulcet bells,
Wherein world of music dwells!

Then and Now.

There was time when he who would
keep informed of the progress of knowledge,
the record of discovery and invention, and
the currents of human thought, could and
indeed must rely Chiefly if not wholly upon
books. That day has passed. Books we
must still read, as the specialization and
permanent embodiment of human thought
and knowledge. Blu, to-day it is the news
paper, the ma azine, the periodical review,
upon which must chiefly depend If we
would follow closely the intellectual move
nlent of the day. And now new difficulty
has arisen. This newspaper and periodical
literature has become SO multitudinous and
bulky rs to be a heavy burden to the busy
man or woman, while even the person who
has leisure and inclination to read widely
is often unable to get access to the c:lrrent
publications. Especially in the smaller
cities, villages, and rural districts is the
lack of such opportunity felt. 1t is felt by
the clergyman, the teacher, the lawyer, the
physician, the merchant, the artisan, the
farmer and the cultured and thoughtful
practical literary question is: With all
these and many other classes of persons the
great practical literary question is: How
can 1 best supplement my indispensable
home paper? 1t to answer this ques-
and meet this demand that PUBLIC OP1N-
ION (now published in New York City,
was founded nine years ago. 1t selects the
best, condenses it to the last degree, and
serves it in convenient and attractive form.
