NEW YEARS ABROAD.
How the American Citizen In Foreign
Lands Observes the Day.

How the American Citizen In Foreign
Lands Observes the Day.
The american abroad" sticks to the
old time observance of New Year with
assiduity. This is due probably more to
"a desire to be in harmony with the Gus
toms of the country Of his temporary
abode than TO pay any special honor to
his native country. The American col
onies in London, Berlin and Paris make
the first day of the year the occasion for
an elaborate interchange of visits that
not only include Americans in the list,
but also all the notable residents with
whom they may be on calling terms. In
these capitals, of course, utmost formal
tiles are observed, and the functions of
the day, if zealously carried out, as
they generally are, call for a consider
able display of staying" qualities.
When the American ambassador keeps
open house, naturally the chief inter
est centers about his establishment.
When the patriotic and pleasant duty of
visiting him has been accomplished,
then the people settle down to vigorous
pursuit of each other, striving as far as
possible to be at two or more places at
once. This is especially noticeable in
Paris, where the American custom is
modelled closely on that which obtains
in official circles. Paris gives itself up
completely to calls on this day, and
they are regulated by the most exact
rules of procedure. Every man is ex-
pected to call first on the superior next
above him and then to hurry home to
receive the inferior next beneath him.

match to a parcel saturated with kero-
sene and threw 1t into the telephone
booth a few yards from the entrance to
the bank.
His companion stood near the door
of the bank, but was unable to make
entrance because the cashier carefully
locked the door behind her when she
joined the other employees of the store
in eXtingushing the fire. which did very
little damage The culprits quickly
mingled with the crowd, and have not
been caught.

Jollity and exhuberant health are a pro-

is always laughing doesn't have any trouble
with his digestion. 1t has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is that health makes people laugh.
IL is impossible to estimate the ire
mendous influence of health upon human
character. A man with headache will
not be in happy, contented frame of
mind. A man who suffers from weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and grumble through the best meal ever
prepared. A bilious man who is not a
bore, is deserving of place in a museum
A nervous man who is not petulent and
fault-hnding is curiosity. All these con-
ditions lead to grave diseases, when the

Washington, Dec. 25.-The interstate
commerce commission has issued cir
cular to the railroads promulgating the
order extending for two years the time
within which the railroads shall equip
their cars and engines with automatic
couplers and brakes as required by the
act OF March 2. 1898. The commission in
it's order reviews the testimony given
at the hearing accorded the railroad
and labor representatives. The argu-
ments advanced are not discussed. The
commission. however says:
Some misunderstanding and confu-
sion appear to have arisen in respect of
the question as to what carriers are
subject to the provisions of this act
Some appear to understand that their
amenability to this law is dependent
upon their being subject TO the act to
regulate commerce. 1t will be seen by
reference to the first section of the act
in regard to safety appliances that 1t
applies to any common carrier engaged
