In the first place, it rained; in the sec

had quarrelcd.
If you want fully to appreciate an
American boy like Doddy, you must first
live in England awhile. Then he bursts
upon you with the radiance of q noon
day sun. Doddy could hardly say that
failed to appreciate him. He never
cracked a joke that / didn't laugh until
the tears came. If he told a story, he
considered me practically-being the only
American at the table and consequently
the only individual in possession of Il
sense of humor sufficient for the under
standing of this sole audience. Thus
between much telling of stories and more
laughing at them our friendship appeared
to be cemented. to be planted squarely
upon n sure and firm foundation, but it
is about just such things as that that you
can never tell.
1t was over next to nothing that we
quarreled, the simplest thing in the world.

Knelt by the dainty trundle bed;
With lisping lip she softly prayed,
And this is what she said:
"Dear God, It's Christmas eve, you know,
And, oh, please do one thing for me!
I want TO close my eyes and go,
In dreams, to papa DER the sea!
T hung his stocking by the side

And mamma hugged me tight and cried
And cried, cause papa couldn't see.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.
This Interesting and Important Pc.
riod In the Jewish Year fs Now
Begun nnd Continues Until Fri.

Gay. g..
The Jewish Passover, which began Friday
night at sunset, will continue seven days, or
until next Friday at sunset. ~.
Friday night the Seder service was held In
the home OF every good Jew and the history
OF the chosen people was retold.
Passover week, as does every other Jewish
observance commentaries some particular
portion OF Biblical history that has especial
bearing on fhe Hebrews. The feast COM
memorates the killing OF the first born In
every Egyptian household.
1t was directly after the seven plaques, 80
Biblical history runs, that the Jews were told
10 keep lamb, which was semi-deity to the
Egyptians, In their houses for several days, TO
demonstrate the contempt with which they
regarded the false god, and then I'LL the
animal, smearing the blood on their door
posts.
|ssThat night the angel OF death killed the first
born in all households that did not have the
blood on the door post. This blood was the
sign of Jewish residence and the angel was
to "pass over" all such. It was In lthis
manner that the first born was spared to the
Jews.
After the service at the synagogue Friday
might, which was the same as is conducted
every Friday night the Seder service was
held In allS tJewish homes. This consisted
frst OF q FEAST where the table was immacu.
the shank ofa lamb. which represented the
killing of the Egyptian semi.deity.
Bitter herbs were eaten in commemoration
of the hardships placed upon the Jews by the
Egyptians and in mAmofy Of the bitterness OF

Brooms as Germ breeders.

Psychologists devote themselves to
the detection, isolation and destruction
of bacteria, and, strange to say, they
do not appear to have given much at
tention TO the danger that turks in the
ordinary articles of household use. For
example, the common house broom is
both the habitation and breeding place
for whole colonies of bacteria, and
cases of disease have been traced to
this apparently inoffensive article. At
konigsberg course in bacteriology is
given by physician, in which he main
tains that the stricteSt sanitary and
hyglenic conditions in things pertain.

and in this country, in the Boston Cook.

there are many lectures given on bac-
teriology. The refrigerator is one of
the danger spots, for bacteriologists tell
us that the minutest organisms NAV
thrive even in melted ice, and putre.
factiye bacteria once gaining access to
the household refrigerator will breed
and contaminate butter, milk, meat and
other food kept therein. Cupboards
and closets also afford an excellent
breeding place for the ever present mi

TO look TO such articles as refrigerators.

Brother:y Counsel.

The more nervous a man Is the more
he tries to say the right thing, and as
rule, the more lamentably he fails.
1t is not always the man who attempts
to set him right, however, who covers
himself with glory.
There is a story told of a certain
English curate who was afflicted with
a painfully nervous temperament, and
whose nervousness was in the habit Of
affecting his tongue and causing him
to make the most awkward remarks
when he particularly desired to pay
neat compliments to those high in au-
thority or position.
1t happened one day that he had dis
tinguished himself beyond his wont
during gathering of 'clergymen at an
afternoon tea at the bishops palace.
On the way home senior curate took
