FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY I. 1897.
Another Year.

Pcrhap, the dominant thought sug-
gcst"d ty the opening OF the new year
l. the swift flight Of time. 1t is a
common remark among very aged
people that the wears grow shorter as
they succeed each other in the worlds
calendar One thing l. true and ap-
parent g. every thoughtful person
namely, people do not get To- hc very
old before they detect what certainly
appears tu be Il positive forcShortcning
oi the wears, months, weeks and even
days, a> they come trooping along from
the sunny future, only to be forever
lost in the dim history of the past.
Let the most practical men or women
retrospect their lives for Il few mo-
mcnts and in fancy live over again, the
blooming spring of childhood, the
summer OF youth and the autumn of
meridian age, and they will he brought
into close sympathy with Job when he
exclaims, my days are swifter than a
wcavcr's shuttle"
From a sentimental point of view, it
were much to be regretted that me-
diIval usage should have changed the
beginning of the year from the hope
full days of swelling buds and opening
blossoms to the melancholy season OF
frosts and snow, from blooming March
back to the dotagc of bleak January.
The Romans began to count their
months from the first point of Ares,
the initial number OF the twelve signs
of the zodiac, and there is no sound
astronomical reason why this harmo-
NOUS schedule should have been vio-
lated. Our only alternative, however,
is to take refuge behind the old truism
that "Man proposes, but God dis
poses"; and thus, relying on the GER
tainty of this staid declaration, we
should see, could we live few more
milleniums, that future almanacs will
mark January as one of the burning
summer months instead of the mid
winter month it is now.
Men may continue to revise and
reform their civil calendars to the end
of time, but the motion of the heavenly
bodies will just as truly continue to
complicate and confuse his mathemat-
les and mock his best efforts to estab-
lish an abiding uniformity in the civil
computation of time.
Thus we see that change is written
upon the face of nature in such indel-
IDLE lines that it may reasonably be
concluded that there is no point of
absolute stability in Gods material
universe. The world moves, and time
flies.

Do not think that because so many
wish you happiness and long life that
any extra rays of sunshine will illum-
inc your pathway, or that your days
ON earth will be prolonged second by
the benediction. This is not an age
of miracles. Human nature is always
the same. After the salutation is over,
your benefcent friend may gouge you
in the next transaction which passes,
and long life can certainly not be de-
sirable if it be but a succession of the
petty acts of selfishness which perme-
ates the natures of us all.

THE X.RAY TURNED DowN.-The
X-ray, after a brilliant debut and an
enthusiastic reception, will with the
new year be relegated to a back place
as an aid to surgery, for it has been
shown that a prolonged exposure OF
the flesh to the mysterious ray is at
tended by a decomposition of the
cellular tissue. In one instance, a
young mans hand swelled up, gangrene
set in and the nails turned black and
in the course of time fell off. In
another case the hair, eyebrow and
mustache on one side of patients
head were destroyed. This result, il
is said, is due to prolonged use of the
ray, and the inference is that moder-
ate and still satisfactory use, may be
made without those evils which have
followed what has been regarded as
over-exposure. The effect, however,
will be to create a timidity with the
subject, if not the surgeon, and many
will refuse to submit TO the pene.
trative influence if the slightest dan.
ger is apprehended.
