When prosperity and philanthropy
go hand in hand, the progress of q
country is beyond question. Germany
lis advancing in business way. Her
trade operations show increasing Ca
pacity for planning and fuller scope
in performance. But with the deyel-
opment in material things is noted an
increase in gifts for the benefit Of
schools, Libraries, charitable institu-
tons and other objects. The provision
OF corporations and private manufac-
turers in aid of employees is a further
token of keener sense of response
bility for the proper use of wealth.
The world abounds with articles
marked, Made in Germany" Let not
the world forget the good deeds which
may be labeled-"Done in Germany"

toria, dated Aug. 9:
"A plot to shoot all the British Of
fcers and to make Lord Roberts

covered. Ten of the ringleaders were
arrested and are now in Jail. Probably

A Chicago physician has invented
for himself a house which he claims
to be absolutely noise-proof, that is
protected thoroughly against the in
trusion of street dins, which persist in
spite of the existence of an anti-noise
ordinance. He has stuffed all the
cracks about the doors and windows
with strips of rubber, and in order to
admit the air has perforated these
with zigzag holes. The sound waves
are said to die out by repeated reaee-
tons in the crooked passages.

Comment of the Press.

the U. of o. Glee Club, who will be here
on December 81, by some OF the leading
newspaper OF our state:
"Mr Eaton's monologues are very en-
tertaining. His ease and naluraness
add greatly to the merit OF the work. =

"The concert was largely attended and
much enjoyed by all present. The club
was composed OF well trained musicians
who seemed to sing because they enjoyed
it.-0regon City Enterprise.
The Glee Club OF the University OF
Oregon gave delightful concert before
an appreciative audience at the Marquam
last night The selections chosen were
both classical and OF the popular order,
and seemed to suit the tastes OF the
house to nicely. The voices in the
club are unusually fine, aud blend with
sweetness which is rarely found In
organizations OF the kind. The club is
particularly strong in BASES, being far
superior in this respect to any organiza-
ton Of the kind that has been heard in
Portland for long time. Every se!tc
tion was rendered artisticaly and gave
evidence of careful training and hard
practice Morning Oregonian.

A moment is on foot to have the fish
and game laws Of Oregon amended at
the coming session Of legislature. Fortu-
nately for the long suffering, the pro-
posed changes are In tho main unim
portant. II ever a subject has been
cruelty manhandIed by legislators II Is
this Of the game laws. No game law in
Oregon has yet continued long enough
TO be fully comprehended by the people.
The present law. nearly two years OF age,
has by persistent publication kept lite
most important points before the people
sufficiently TO make its general OBJ
servance possible. No law can be framed
which will suit everyone. The present
law covers the ground In probably
as satisfactory manner as any
that can be framed and unless the ad-
vantages OF a change are plain and sure
II Is better TO let 1t alone. II. there Il
any weak or wrong spot in II, II should

Before another week rolls around,
Christmas day will have come and gone.
In childhood. we all looked forward TO
Christmas with impatience for the gifts
il would bring. In maturer years, we
still look forward with expectancy to the
Christmas time, but with our childish
sentiments changed and modified and,
with the fuller understanding which
years bring 10 us, We prize our gifts not
for their intrinsic worth, but for the
sentiment which accompanies them T,
the real, true sympathy, iriendliness
and love, which is far more frequently
found In the vale OF tears than II has any
credit Of being. We are fortunate that
We have one time in the year especially
set apart for the exercise OF the very best
sentiments Of which we are capable. II
keeps us in remembrance Of the best
that this life has to offer, not outward
accomplishments or requirements,
wealth or position, knowledge or any
thing, but the real heart to heart sym.
pathy or love. The failure 10 realize
this truth is the cause oi large portion
OF the worlds unhappiness. At Christ
mas time we should absorb a realization
ot this fact sufficient 10 keep 1t In
remembrance throughout the year.
