BUSY SEASON CLOSES.
Scenes Attending Roundup of Holiday
Shopping.

This is the roundup of Christmas and
the streets of the national capital are
crowded with shoppers. Never before, per-
haps. has there been such interest in the
work Of Christmas giving.
The stores are crowded and they will be
until late tonight when the last stocking
has been suspended and Santa Claus has
resorted to an anaesthetic to give him a
much needed rest.
1t has been a busy holiday season for this
quaint old parsonage, who has been such an
important factor in the happiness of the
childhood of persons of all chimes and Ia
tionalities. The day has been reas onablT
pleasant for the latter part of Christmas
shopping.
To the clerks in the downtown stores
the holiday of tomorrow will come as a
period of much-Heeded rest. They have
had strenuous time of il. The. young
women thus engaged have -maintainel
happy demeanor. and they Will likely be
rewarded with dreams of good cheer fo1
the efforts they have made in helping along
the good work.
"A merry Christmas" is the slogan from
now on. and there is every ind.cation that
il will be to the people of the national cap

The bids given were for the amounts of

There was considerable conflict among the
bidders, the law allowing them to group
their sections to suit their convenience,
and it was very hard in some cases to COM
pare the bids because of this conflict as
TO groups. The local officers had made
recommendation differing somewhat.
By close comparison of the bids the COM
missioner found that $19.529 more money
could be realized by accepting the above
bids for fifty-seven sections of less timber

GERS. The value of this timber. according
to government estimate. is s29.o19

CATTLE DIPPING IN TEXAS.
Farmers Think Coating of Oil Does
Not Improve Steers Looks.
From the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News
About 5000 head of cattle " ere dipped in
oil in Colorado, Texas, Tuesday, under the
personal supervision Of ]. B. Goodlett of
Quanah. for c. A. OiKeefe. The cattle are
not to be moved from the O'Keefe ranch,
but were dipped, believing that it would be
a benefit to them. Mr.. O'Keefe has had
large stone dipping vat constructed on his
ranch, and is a firm believer in the
efficiency of the dip.
Mr.. Goodlett, who Is the state agent for
the official dip adopted by the state live
stock sanitary commission, says that an in
him that there is to be practically no move
ment of cattle across the line this winter.
He thinks there will be a fair movement
in the spring, however, when dipping will
be generally practiced.
Speaking of the recent dipping in crude
Texas Oil that was done in his home town
under federal direction, he says 1t is
ccrceded fact that Oil will kill the fever
ticks but he does not believe that dipping
in oil will ever become general. He says
" lille the oil may not injure the cattle, yet
for the period of about two weeks it trans
fem them into the most disreputable
OF the earth. In fortnight the oil has had
time to wear eff.
Mr.. Goodlett says cattlemen who wit
messed the oil dipping at Quanah were not
pleased with the appearance of the cattle
after they emerged from the dipping vat,

the oil dipping must be more or less in
furious. owing to the fact that it closes the
pores of the skin Of the animal

THE. FILIPINO PUPIL.
Knows Little in the Beginning, but is
Capable of Learning.
From the Manila Times.

From the Manila Times
Few persons in these islands, aside from
those engaged in school work, appreciate
to any considerable extent what the public
school has accomplished or the momentous
task that conf onts the educational depart
ment. No quarter of the globe has more
crude, plastic, uniformed material among
its inhabitants of school age than the I hill
ippine Islands. The person Who questions
this assertion would do well To visit a pub
lie school and listen to answers rom be-
einners class, in response to questions
touching matters of common knowledge.
Many Americans have. the idea that tie
natty, bright-looking young Filipino is only
deficient in a knowledge of EngliSn and
that the teachers labor so far as the rud-
1nentS of primary even secondary work
goes. is confined to the instruction IN the
English language. The idea prevails that
the pupil has q practical knowledge of
Spanish, and that in the common branches,
he is fairly proficient Nothing could be
further from the real facts. The pupil
knows as little of arithmetic. geogra ply,
history and the common branches as he
does of English. OF Spanish he KNOWS but
little more than does the rich:sna man Of
English.
For example, we shall take a beginning
class at night school. Twenty neatly
dressed. bright-looking young occupy
the desks. Let the teacher ask the ques-
ton. what is the largest ci1y Il the
world?" He must be sure that they under
permitted. To this end he may speak Eng
lish, Spanish and Tagalog. The answers,
for originality, uniqueness AMI incorrect
ness will find no parallel outside of sim
liar class. a majority of which win give the
distinction to the Philippines, with Manila
close second. China. Japan, Spain and
Hongkong viii! come in for few scattering
compliments, but a rule the pupil will
confine his answers to the archipelago,
naming towns and islands. indiscrminate-
~. The oldest and most experienced may
let his imagination extend to Honskong or
to Spain, but the latter is his ultiint Thule,
the limit of his vague knowledge of the
outside world
This picture has many redeeining fea-
lures. In an adjoining school room the
visitor sees another class taught by
young Filipino. The native teacher. who.
probably two years ago. took his place in a
class similar to the one first mentioned
now speaks fairly good English and is
working faithfully to instruct his own
people. The Filipino pupil is not apt as
rule: his faculty of retaining what he ac-
quires is often discouraging, but it is woll
enough to understand that he mas never
been taught before.

An Electric Party.

From the Denver Times.
w. f. Shaw of Brookline, Mass. gave an

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Conservative Estimate Of the Country's
business by Trade Journal.

NEW work. December 24.-Variable re-

pig iron is reported. with slightly freer
movement The review says:
Chicago merchants say interior jobbers
are buying cautiously; st. Louis that an
increased volume of traffic will go to that
CITY next year, and that snow and rain
have given needed relief In the winter
wheat regions; Philadelphia that the gen
eral trade prospect for 1904 is bright de-
spite what a presidential year may bring;
Baltimore that the outlook is fair. that
agricultural interests at the south are pros
porous; and Pittsburg that industrial coke
users are buying freely again. which stirnu-
lates the feeling of encouragement follow

pools

steady and general increase of wealth

of business for the year fully equal to that

San Francisco. wholesale trade has been
the best for years past at like periods.

Ten Layers of History.
Harper's Magazine.

From Harpers Magazine.
For the first time the whole history of
one of the great national sites of Egypt
has been opened before us, dating from the
beginning of the kingdom and ending with
almost the last of its native kings-from
Mena. about 4ToO B. c.. to Nekht-hor-he
$40 Il. C. History is here laid out for US in
strata. from which the past can be read
as we lift them away from one another. In
order to read, however, one must know the
alphabet of the subject; and that has only
lately been learned from the pottery. the
fiints the beads, which show EACH the age
to which they belong. Excavation on
site with a long history is mere destruction
If each stratum Is not read and interpreted
intelligently as ii is opened Unfortunately
this has never been done before on any
such site. On the earliest sacred site OF
Abydos. the first capital of Egypt temples
had been piled. one on the ruins OF another
until ten ages of buildings stood stacked
together I'm about twenty feet depth of
ruins Each temple had become partly
ruined after Il few centuries. and then at
last was pulled down. leaving foot or two
of the walls and foundations: and a new
temple of a different plan was then erected
on the ground America is not old enough
for this to be done even once. but London
stands on mound OF over twenty feet of
ruins. from which its past will some day
be read as We now read that OF Egypt.
