Ring the bells Of Christmas,
Sing the Manager song
Birthday OF our Savior,
Wen pass the word along!
Little folks, be cheerful,
Eat, and run and play
Hail the infant Jesus,
But don't forget to pray.
Chant the Christmas carols
From the cottage door;
Dine on cakes and turkey
But don't forget the poor.
Foolish, giddy parties,
And drunken revelry,
Is not becoming honor
To Him who sets us free.

SHADE TREES.
HeaIthful and inexpensive EmbeI-
Iishment of IL Town.

Any city or village, however mex
tractive by planting trees and other
wise embellishing the public streets
with borders of grass and beds of shrubs
and flowers, thereby giving them a
parklike appearance, which is pleasing
to the eye and refining in its influence.
Trees are not only for adornment and
shade, but for purifying and cooling the
air in summer The exhaling power of
leaves has been most carefully investi-
gated, and the most careless observer
has noticed its effect in cooling the air
when passing through a wooded road
on warm day in summer.
1t is also a well known fact that
trees radiate heat in winter, and that
the more there are in neighborhood
the more equable is the climate.
1t is as much the duty of city and
town authorities to plant trees as it is
to build sewers, for both are sanitary
measures, and it ought to be a matter
of pride to the citizen to see that his
street is not only healthful. but beauti-
full
Trees, as a rule, have been planted
too thickly in most Of our older cities.

Bulletin. Large elms and naples are
frequently seen crowded together 10

they are misshapen and sickly, and
they form a shade 50 dense that neither
sun nor air can reach the houses. EX-
perience has proved that it is a mistake
to plant four rows Of trees on any street
that is less than 100 feet i'll width.
Next to the folly of not planting at
all is that Of overplanting Human
beings require sunshine and air, but in
many streets in our older cities these
are excluded through the overplanting
of trees or the failure to remove thom
when they have grown so large lnat
their top branches intertwine.
The American elm is the most beau
tiful tree for street planting, but in
some localities it is so infested with in

selection Of the other varieties when
practicable. In central New York the
white maple is extensively used. and if
it be given the proper care when young
it makes a noble tree at maturity. In
many localities the sycamore is great
favorite, but it will not grow i'll the
northwest. The linden, blackberry, Nor
way maple ana the white ash are fine
street trees, especially for narrow streets.
There should be definite plan for all
municipal improvements, and in the
department of tree planting, this can
only be obtained through a commission
having absolute authority to plant.

CONTROLLED BY CLOCKS.
They Regulate REGULATIONS In HOi-
yoke High school.

A most complete system of pro-
gramme clocks has just been'installed
in the HolyOke High school The GUS
tom that obtains in all high schools of
changing classes every hour requires
that some one shall giveconstGmt atten-
ton to the flight of time and give the
signals for change of'class or recess, ex-
actly on the minute. in order to avoid
confusion and rush. 1t is also apparent
that it is very desirable that all the
clocks in the different rooms should read
exactly alike. An electrically operated
system of clocks possesses all these fea-
lures besides being entirely automatic.
First of all there is master clock
that controls all the other clocks or
dials in the building, so that the latter
require no attention whatever except
the replenishing of - dry battery once
year. The daily programme is arrang-
ed by perforatiOns in a paper dial,
which revolves once each hour and by
contact through the perforatiOns an
electrical circuit is made and impulses
are sent to the otl9er clocks and their
attached gOngS. which are thus sounded
together, insrring absolutely uniform
and accurate time In the Holyoke High
school there are over so clocks, and
aside from the convenience of being
automatic the advantage of the stimuli

GIasgovv's Municipal Service.

Glasgow, Scotland is occasionally
referred to in American newspapers as
a city that has demonstrated the success
of municipal ownership of public utili-
ties and the possibility Of government
without taxation. Glasgow has munic-
ipal ownership of its lighting plants,
street railways and some other public
service enterprises. 1t is managing
them successfully. Both the lighting
plant and the street railway system give
service at low rates and also turn into
the public treasury considerable sums
as profits The amounts so turned in
are by no means sufficient to pay all the
expenses of municipal government
however That policy would not be pur-
sued in Glasgow, for instead of making
enormous profits for the city the course
taken would be to lower the rates for
service to the people

CAUCUS MONETARY BILL
COMMITTEE OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS
TO MEET IN ATLANTIC CITY.
MIR. Overstreet. n Member Of that Com
mittee, Holds Conferences
with MIR. Hanna.

Although Congress is not now in session,
Representative Jesse Overstreet is and will
be busy nearly all summer member of
the special committee appointed by the Re
publican caucus of the House TO draft a
new money BILL
1t is inferred that it is the purpose of the
forever settle the currency question to the
satisfaction of the American people, and the
work of meeting all requirements will fall
almost entirely on the caucus committee, of
which Mr.. Overstreet Is a member. During
the last few days Mr.. Overstreet has had
several conferences with III. Fl. Hanna, of
the Monetary Commission, presumably on
the subject of the proposed bill, upon the
passage of which the life Of the commission
largely depends AS each member of the
committee is probably equally as hard at
work and as there has not been rough
draft of the bill made as yet, what it will
ultimately provide for Is entirely a matter
of conjecture.
The committee has experienced trouble in
finding a suitable place at which to hold its
meetings. 1t is felt that it would be i'm
practicable to meet in Washington where
every lobbyist would assign himself to the
task CT worrying the life out of the men,
bers with suggestions more or less impracti-
cable, while the presence of the different
members of the committee in the home town
of any one of the members would bring
about practically the same result. AS quiet
and immunity from interference were the
things most desired, it decided to meet
at Atlantic City in the near future.
