LITERARY NOTES.

The January number Of the Deineator is

its place as the woman's favorite magazine.
The winter styles are exceedingly becoming

ciety is at once picture of its salient fea-
lures and defense of its essential kindness.

In note following some quotations re-
garding Christmas and winter weather the
author of an old london publication says,
These prognostics of weather, etc, l look
upon as altogether uncertain, and were they
narrowly observed would as often miss as
hit" Besides being quoted as above the
proverb is varied as follows; "a hot May
makes fat churchyard, " and "Agreen winter
makes fat churchyard." To the latter pro-
verb is added this note, This proverb was
sufficiently confuted in the year 1867, when
winter was very mild, and yet no mortality
or epidemical disease ensued the summer or
autumn following. Philadelphia Ledger.

AN OLD WOMAN KILLED.
Robbers Cruelty Murder Mrs,
Hogan at Mobile,
Bound i'm Her Own Store, Slowly Stran-
With Braid and Finally Drained.

MOBILE, ALA, Dee. A.-This morning a
little girl, going to the store of Mrs. Marga-
ret Hogan at Clay and Congress streets to
make small purchase, found the store open
and the lamps burning but no one attending.
Going into the rear room she found Mrs. Ho-
gan lying on the floor, dead, with her hands
tied behind her back and piece ofbraid tied
wrapped tightly around her throat. An in
vestigation showed that the place had been
robbed of money and some of the goods. The
robbers had probably forced the woman, who
was 65 years of age, to give up her small
hoard, which she kept in the back room of
the store. Then they stranged her with the
braid, but finding her slow in dying, Drained
her with some blunt instrument Her brains
had oozed out upon the floor From the fact
that the lamps were still burning, and the
woman was fully dressed, it is thought that
the murder occurred some time last night
perhaps at an early hour in the evening. No
noise was heard at any time, and there is no
clue TO the identity of the murdcrers.

CHRISTMAS GREENS.
A Beautiful Custom Which Comes to
Us From the Romans.

The fashion of decking the house with
greens as we do at Christmas dates back
into old Roman times, when feast in honor
OF Saturn was celebrated and the temples Of
the dwellings were dressed with green
boughs-possibly remnant of that tree
worship which, Sin ITSELF" says Ruskin, 81
believe was always healthy" when "the now-
ers and trees are themselves beheld and be-
loved with a half worshiping delight, which
is always noble and healthful."
The plants most in demand for church
decoration at Christmas time in England as
well as in this country are holly, bay and
laurel. English holly is sometimes import
ed, but the American holly, which comes
from Virginia and other sections of the
south, is very good substitute for il. The
bay is the rarest plant Of the three in this
country, but ground laurel is commonly sold
and is one of the most effective of the Christ
mas greens.
In decorating a room with Christmas
greens it should be remembered that very
slight touch of color should be used with
green and that the most Objectionable of all
things is too profuse decoration. Christmas
green's are usually kept till after Twelfth
Night, which occurs on Jan. g. and they
should certainly be cleared away by the I'd OF
February or Candlemas day, or otherwise, as
tradition says, a goblin will appear for every
green left behind. 1t certainly must have
been a slovenly housewife who would leave
her Christmas greens up for so many weeks
and goblins of discomfort and uncleanliness
would be sure to invade such a house.

POSTAL BANKS At WASHINGTON
Bills Now Before Committees of Con
gress Attract Much Attention.

The Chicago Records postal savings bank
bill was introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the opening day of the Congress
sional session by Representative Lorimer, the
Chicago member Of the House Committee on
postofllces and postroads. The bill was re-
ferred at once to the Postoffice Committee,
according to the usual custom. 1t was intro
duced in the Senate a day or two later by
Senator Mason, who is a member Of the SEN
ate Postoffice Committee. 1t is upon these
committees that attention must center for
the present Of those interested in the passage
of a law for the establishment of the postal
savings bank system. The earnest agitation
among the people has forced upon all the
members of Congress consideration of this
subject with the result that it is discussed
in Washington to an extent that it never has
been before. The Chairman of the House
Committee is an opponent of the postal bank
idea; but other leading members are friendly
to the plan. The first and, indeed, the Sc
verest test of strength, therefore, must come
in the Postofllce Committee. If q postal
savings bank bill is reported favorably by
that committee and brought to vote in the
House, there can be but little doubt of the
outcome ON the floor. Fortunately, as the
result of popular agitation, and because OF
the aggressive spirit which the friends of the
measure in Congress are manifesting, the
subject is one that can not be ignored or
pigeonholed. Never before has the number
Of members actively interested inthe success
OF this project been so great.
Sentiment in favor of postal savings banks
seems to be even stronger in the Senate than
among the members of the House. 1t is ex.
pected that bill will be reported from the
Senate committee without great difficulty,
with the chances good for its passage through
the Senate.
The more that members Of Congress and
especially of the postoffice committees, car
be made to feel individually the deep interest
of the public in this matter, the more likely
they will be to take early action looking t.
the establishment of the postal savings banl
system-Chicago Record.

A yillainous Organization.

The "Whitecaps" form an organized men
ace to the peace of society and to the laws of
the country. 1t is more vicious than mob
law, because the mob is the sudden express
sion of popular wrath, which manifests
itself for the special purpose of executing a
crude and thoughtless theory of law and
Justice The mob is of the occasion, and is
ephemeral. Not so with the 'Whitecaps." !"
They constitute what might be denominated
well ordered disorder, a mob W tn head to
1t, and very vicious and dangerous head
it is.
Some months ago a company of these law
less men shot q negro to death within few
miles of Birmingham, Ala. A few of the
"Whitecaps" were arrested and tried. Re-
Gently, two negroes, who had testified as
rounded in their homes by marauders and
shot to death because of their testimony be-
fore the court. And, still worse, if possible,
another negro was murdered at the same
time, not because he had been guilty Of any
offense even in the eyes Of those night
riding dispensers of justice but through ap-
prehension that he might testify to their
second murder. Such organizations have
neither the poor excuse of just indignation
nor of sudden passion to justify their law
lessness. They are deliberate conspiraces
against law and order, and nothing that con-
stituted authority and the power Of the law
can bring TO bear for their suppression
should be neglected Banner.

When Choosing a Wife.

If I were asked bya young man or young
woman how to be guided in the choice of a
life mate, / should, in the exercise of judg-
ment based on wide and studious obscrva-
ton, say: Choose that person who, after Il
reasonable period of association, proves to
be most companionable. This broad law
comprehends nearly all others that can be
suggested. 1t were infinitely better to be
single through life than marry one who
would not answer to this condition. Speak
ing somewhat narrowly and sellshly, con-
tentmeut is the most thot can be got out of
life, and when a contented couple is found
it will also be discovered that they exhibit
manifestly opposite characteristics of tenn
permanent habit, taste and physique.
1t is upon this fixed foundation that happy
affinites are formed. 1t is an important
doctrine in medical Jurisprudence that ''like
cures like"-which is only another way for
saying that like kills like-and it is equally
true in the social realm that companionshiI
is not felt between young men and young
women who are closely similar in genera
appearance or disposition. On the contrary
it arises and leads to happy unions between
persons who are often widely dissimilar.-

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
A Custom That Comes From the Three
Wise Men Who Followed
the Star

OF course you need not be told of the origin
of presenting gifts at this season of the year.
The three wise men who followed the star
until 1t remained stationary over the stable
in Bethlehem, and who, entering the hovel
wherein were the cow and the ass, knelt down
before the beautiful Babe in the manger
placed before him presents of myrrh, frank
incense and gold. Their example is the ex-
ample that you follow today, 1897 years after
the Magi made obesance to the Child Jesus,
and when you place presents cefore the little
ones who are made in the image of the Divine
Babe you are doing what was done by the
eastern kings, but remember to carry out
theirexample to the full the babes in the
managers, the little ones in novels, must not
be forgotten.
| Most of our Christmas customs come from
the German. Kris Kringe is a legendary
myth whose origin is involved in much
| doubt Formerly in the small villages Of
Germany the presents made by all the parents
were sent to some one person, who, in high
buskins, white robe a mask and an enor-
flax wig, and known as Knecht Rupert, went
| from house to house. He was received by
the parents with great reverence, and, call
ing for the children, presented the gifts to
them according to the accounts of their con-
duct received from the parents. 1t appears
as highly probable that this custom gave rise
to our present innumerable legends about
Santa Caus.-Philadelp Times.

BAREFOOT BABIES.
a Physicians Experiment With His
Family of Bows and Girls.

II CHANGED to be present" remarked a
trained nurse to II group of professional
friends, 'when little girl 3 years of age,
just returned from the West, was being put
to bed. 1t was the last day of August, and
noted that she was sufTocating in heavy
high necked, long sleeved flannel shirt and
underdrawers, long, thick stockings and
flannel skirt, besides the fun cotton outfit;
and this would / know, be generally ac-
cepted as quite the proper and rational way
to prepare little child for long journey.
To me it seemed little less than cruelty.
"On the other hand, l am watching with
great interest a little 8 months old who has
never had shoe or stocking on or had its
little feet covered in any way during the day.
| Whenever the weather is chilly the nurse
| gives them an occasional brisk rubbing, but
argues that since its feet have never been
covered they ere no more sensitive than the
hands, and it is true that the little one has
never had cold. During the hot weather
too, it was dressed in comparative comfort,
which, translated, means as little clothing as
| possible
| cone of the leading specialists in chidrens
diseases in America, most distinguished
man, by the way never allows his children
to wear shoes and stockings except when
out Of doors in midwinter, until they are 5
or years old. All through the spring and
early summer they may be seen in park and
public garden, walking about with their nurse
exquisitely frocked, but barelooted. Later
comes the long country rambles and even in
the winter they never wear shoes in the house.
The result of this experiment in his own
family has proved more than satisfactory to
the famous physician, and the general rug
gedness and vigor Of the children in his most
powerful argument when using the whole
weight of his influence to prevail upon other
parents to 60 and do likewise.
''It is to be hoped that saner notions in re-
gard to dressing children in hot weather may
in due time percolate all classes of society,
and that those who would hesitate before the
barefoot idea may at least go so far as to un.
burden their children Of that heavy weight
of clothing, which is more productive oI
colds and weakness than all other causes
combined"

Longevit, Influence d by Water.

Solid and dry as the human body appears,
water constitutes more than one fourth Of its
bulk, and all the functions of life are really
carried on in a water bath, and, although the
sense of thirst may be trusted to call for a
draft of water when required, the fluid can
be imbibed most advantageously for many
reasons besides merely satisfying thirst. In
the latter stage of digestion, when comminu-
ition of the mass is incomplete, it is much
facilitated by n moderate draft of water,
which disintegrates and dissoves the con-
tents of the stomach, fitting it for emulgence
aud preparing it for assimilation. Hence the
habit Of drinking water in moderate quanti-
ties between meals contributes to health and
indicateG inc fact that those who visit health
resorts for the purpose ofimbibing the waters
of minera! springs might profit by staying at
home and drinking more water and loss
whisky.
Water is the universal solvent Of nature and
the chief agent in all transformations of mat.
ter. When taken into an empty stomach, il
soon begins to pass out through the tissues
into the circulation to liquefy eflete solids
whose excretion from the system is thus ia.
cliated. Very few people think Of the neces,
sity of washing the inside as well as the out.
side of the body, and he who would be per
fectly healthy should be as careful about the
cleanliness Of his stomach as that of his skin
