December's Names.

December, so called from being the
tenth month when the year began in
March, has probably had more names
conferred upon it than any other of the
twelve into which our year is now di-
vided. Among the early Saxons it was
called Winter Monat, or winter month.
After their conversion to Christianity
they called it Ueligh Monat, or holy
month, in honor of the birth of Christ.
In later days in Germany it was called
Christ Monat for the same reason.
Fires used to be lighted for warmth III
this month, and the want of chimneys
used to cause a too obvious inconven-
fence, which led to it's being called Flu
mosus, or smoky. 1t was also dubbed
Canus, or hOary, from the SHOWS or
hoarfrosts which then generally whit
ened the higher grounds.

lance he may have 500 every week to
give her to buy clothes Every week
he sends it, and every week she spends
it, though she neither sees nor writes
to him. Week after week he grows a

that many people can see things In the

may discover whether you possess the
gift of seeing people in the ball, and
what they are doing at a a distance.
A glass water jug will do equally well,
or even a spoonful of ink. You sit
down alone with the ball in your lap
and stare at it for five minutes. If
you are unsuccessful after several
trials, you may take 1t that you are not

The tendency Of mankind to chase
after royalty is exemplified bv the an
pointment OF special ENJOYS to rep
resent the United States government
at the coronation Of King Edward Of
England, and the elaborate prepara-
tions which are being made to receive
and entertain Prince Henry Of Prus-
8ia on his visit to America during the
present month.
Were the people as whole to be
judged by those who hasten to pay
homage to royalty, we might well fear
Tor the future Of our country. But we
are unwilling to believe that the
American people in general desire
that other than reasonable courtesy
be extended to the visitor from a
foreign land, be he king, prince, or
private citizen. To our way of think
ing Alderman Henry Smith Of Mil
Waukee, was not far from right when,
in response to an invitation to attend
meeting to arrange for the reception
Of Prince Henry on his arrival in
Milwaukee, he respectfully declined,
and wrote, in substance, that he did
not see how a Jeffersonian and Jack
sonian Democrat could consistently
have anything TO do with such an
affair.
1t will be remembered that IN 1871,
when the Grand Duke Alexis saw fit
to visit these shores, he was received
with much pomp and pageantry in
New York, Washington and other
cities. He Travelled to the west and
engaged in hunting, and soon after
wards, at many stations along the
route which he had travelled, the meat
Of buffaloes reported to have been
shot By the Grand Duke sold at al
most fabulous prices And this, in
the land of the free and the home
brave, after the enjoyment for very
many years of the blessings Of pop
ular government.
1t is true that our expected visitor,
Prince Henry, not only is brother
Of the emperor of Germany but is al
SO a Prussian naval officer And it is
further true that to maintain the land
and naval forces necessary to uphold
and defend royalty, with its pOmp
and pageantry, heavy burdens have
been placed upon the people, greater
than they have been able to bear.
Those who fled from the countries of
the old world to find homes in the
new, especially know this to be true.
They known that like causes here
will produce conditions similar to the
conditions which for generation have
existed in monarchial governments
where royalty reaches it highest
ambition. Is it not a trine strange
that they, or any of their sons,
should hat in hand, run after royalty
either when it comes to US, or dis
plays itself at the cOrnation of even
so august a parsonage as his royal
highness King Edward the VII?
Civility does not require that the
people Of the United States, whose
whole history has been protest
against the exercise of royal power,
should shout themselves hoarse when
ever u person of so-calIed royal
blood appears amongst them.

SAMOAN COSTUMES,
Made With n Hatchet, a Club and q
Pot Of Paint.

In the south seas dresses are made
with a Ratchet, a club and a pot Of
paint. Every housewife is her own
robe and habit maker. When she feels
the need of a new gown, she goes and
chops down a tree. When her husband
needs new suit, she chops down an
other tree. That is easy, for men and
women are clad exactly alike-a plain
fold Of cloth caught about the waist
and hanging loosely to the knee or
shin. The races inhabiting the islands
of the tropical Pacific are almost alone
in having no idea of the loom and the
various arts of the spinner and weaver.
This lack is undoubtedly due to the
natural provision of material which
renders a woven cloth unnecessary to
this primitive people. The only fabric
used in that part of the world is a
crude, tough paper made Of bast. The
tree from which the material is derived
is the paper mulberry, or Broussonetia
papyrifera, which is grown in planta-
tons under the sole charge of women
and is also found wild in all parts of
the islands. In archipelagOes so high
~ advanced as Samoa and Tonga,
where women have none of the coarser
work to do, the entire care of the null
berry plantations rests with the wom-
en- Of each village.
The trees are planted closely to in
sure a spindling growth without lat
eral branches. The plant will grow
from seed. In such a climate there is
no difficulty about getting things to
grow, but experience has shown that
better results follow the planting Of
tWigs from the sturdier wild trees. In
about three years from planting the
tree will be in the best condition for
the clothmakerS. In that time it will
attain a height of twelve feet or more,
and the trunk will have a uniform di-
ameter of rather less than two inches.
About four feet of the trunk is waste
and not available for the particular
purpose for which the tree is grown;
the first two feet from the base is too
tough to work we'll, and the two feet
at the top is too soft. If the tree is
properly grown and left to mature,
there will be available for the cloth,
maker stick of eight feet in the clear
and as straight as a measuring rod,
without knots or branches and of uni
form girth throughout. - New York
Tribune
