A BUSY TIME
CITY COUNCIL HAD LIVELY
LONG SESSION.
Annual Meeting at Which Alder
manic Salaries Were Paid
Cove Oysters and Fran
chises Discussed.

Four things especially enlivened
the session OF the city council Tues
day evening, the first being tilt
between the mayor and George j.
Spear, when the latter asked to have
the electric railway franchise amend
ed to allow him to build lines in any
alley and street in the city and
granting the privilege Of furnishing
current for lighting purposes. The
matter was referred to the judiciary
committee. The next was the dous-
ing out OF the electric lights, leaving
the august council in outer darkness.
Third, another lively few moments
between Alderman Frank Barber on
one side, the finance committee and
city marshal on the other. MIR.
Barber discovered in one OF the bills
Tor the care OF city poor and sick an
item ABOUT oysters, apples and
oranges. and his sense OF economy
was reused by the apparent luxury in
which the city's poor we're kept.
Things seemed to look different, how
ever, when it was explained that 1t
was only cove oysters and that they
were FED to sick children only. The
fourth and most momentous event Of
the evening was the annual paying
off OF the aldermen and mayor.
Between all this the council granted
petition for the grading and grav-
cling OF Eighth avenue from Six
teenth street to Twentieth street at
the expense Of the property owners,
the city to pay Its share later on,
The same course was taken IN regard
to improving Seventeenth street from
Sixth avenue to Ninth avenue. The
petition of F. E. Smith and Others
for construction OF a sidewalk on the
south side of Seventh street between
Seventh and Eighth avenues was also
granted, and the clerk instructed to
notify Asa Meade to bnild sidewalk
In front Of his lot, corner Seventh
street and Eighth avenue, j. NJ.
Cameron enu Louis Dupree to bulld
walks in front OF their places on
Eighth avenue: Neili and Steele and
A, A. Woodbury. on Ninth street.
Permits we're granted for the grad
ing of Eleventh avenue two blocks
south from Eighteenth street, for the
construction OF sewer on Eighth
avenue from Thirteenth to Sixteenth
streets; for sewer in alley between
Fifth and Sixth streets, and between
Tenth and Eleventh avenue, for all
Of which of which the judiciary com.
mitteee was instructed to prepare the
necessary ordinances.
By May there will be man to
look after the ditch water Of the city
and also to see that city water is not
unnecessarily wasted, as it has been
maintained that it is now. The
mayor was given power to appoint
man for the work. The rest of the
evening was spent in listening to
reports Of various city officials and
the passage OF bills.

whole thing in Greeley just now.
Their big fair opened in the armory
yesterday afternoon with fairly good
attendance for the opening. This
attenda nee was greatly increased last
evening when 1.-The Old Maids Con-
vention' was held. This was a
unique entertainment and created no

sprightly ancient maids were relieved
now and then with music by differ
ent vocalists and musicians VI the
city.
The armory is decorated in the
national colors and presents hand
some appearance. Ice cream and
cake and other refreshments are
served there continuously during the
fair, which lasts for three days and
evenings
This evening the program is In

director at the Normal, and the pro-
gram will include some Of the best
voices in the Normal school. The
greatest interest Is, however, centeIed
in the singing of Mrs. Norcross- Gale,
who will be the leading attraction on
the program.

the program will consist Of announce
ments Of names In the voting contests
that are being conducted. There are

Colors Tell Age of Stars.

From the Booklovers' Magazine.

augmented heat occurs change both in
the stars spectrum and color. Red-hOt
iron is not nearly SO hot as white-hot iron.
BY observing the various changes in tint
which the metal undergoes the foundryman
is able to tell with considerable accuracy
Its degree of heat. A somewhat similar
method of gauging a stars temperature,
eEd therefore its age. is relied upon by the
astronomer. Color. then. and spectroscopic

exist as stars. and others whose light is

After having coagulated, as 1t were, from
nebulous mass. star assumes color
that may be best described as an intense
biuiSh-white. much like that of the electric
arc. Stars Of that hue are. therefore. in
their infancy. Then comes the white stage,
followed by the yellow orange and red
each succeeding hue indicating greater
celestial antiquity than the last. Up to
the yellow period the star as 1t contracts
grows hotter. and hotter. Then gradual
cooling takes place. Accompanying the
changes in color are changes in the spec

bluish-white period of a stars infancy the

changes, the lines. of calcium, magnesium
and iron appear. the hydrogen lines grad

Disuse Of the Whipping Post.
From Law Notes.

From Law Notes.
Notwithstanding the advocacy now and
then OF the rehabilitation of the whipping
post, that form OF punishment is losing
rather than gaining ground in civilized
countries. 1t is now inflicted in England
and in only few of the continental coun-
tries of Europe. In the United States 1t Is
used only in Delaware and Maryland And
perhaps 1t still obtains to some extent in
Australia. The punishment is not inflicted
upon women in England, Delaware or
Maryland.
In England there is an increasing reluc-
lance on the part of the judges to infiict the
punishment.
A late return shows that this form Of
punishment was ordered only in sixteen
cases in 1908. Seven OF these sentences
were passed at the central criminal court,
five by Judge Rentoul and two by the COM
mon sergeant 1t is interesting to notice
that Mr.. Justice Wills. Mr.. Justice Law
renee and Mr.. Justice Darling are the only
three high court judges who ordered the use
OF the cat" Flogging has been practically
discarded In English convict prisons as a
means Of prison discipline; and a few
years ago a bill to extend the whipping post
TO number OF offenses not punishable in
that manner was refused second reading
by the decisive vote OF 195 to ~.

To the woman trying to make s. do the
work of SO. torn with doubts to whether
the little gifts already selected are sure to
please the recipients. amazed to find that
postage and eXpressage are going to eat

encounter OF the joatling shopping crowds,
the top-lofty Indifference of the sales
ladies" and the exasperatingly slow delays
of the money changers, beset with fear that
some one will be forgotten or injured or dis
appointed, comes the thought that an extra
chapter in THE Simple Life might well be
added on how to make of the holidays days
of joy, gladness and sweet remembrance of
others, without leaving the house-mother a
nervous wreck at their close.
Something has become vitality wrong In
our modern method of celebrating the Ma
tivity; and is 1t not that we are trying II
do too much and in pursuit of the material
losing sight of the broader, beautiful, spirit
ual significance?
If the purse Is narrow, the strength lin
tied, why not look those facts straight in
the face and act accordingly?
One can keep happy and even jolly
Christmas without gifts, l suppose; bit the
custom is so natural, so delightful, so full
of possibilities of happiness for those who
give as well as those who receive, that 1t Is
worth curtall1ng In other directions to Keep
1t up. But there must be discrimination.
The children are to be first considered.
Christmas is peculiarly their day, and TO
lose the memory of Christmas tollity and
JOY in the giving and receiving of gifts
would be an irreparable loss. They do not
require. however, costly toys and great ac-
cumulations of expensive and complex
things. 1t Is not In the quantity nor the
cost that the child finds its pleasure. but
nearly always the thing with which he can
do something. Then come the aged. the

From Harper's Bazaar.
Russian brasses are possibly the heaviest
and finest in quality and color. One may
find them in the queer little Russian shops
in the lower part Of New York and Bos-
ton. The growing interest in brasses has
encouraged their importation, and If one
mas patience to barter, many artistic treas
ures may be obtained at very reasonable
prices The most characteristic piece Is the
samovar. These are treasured very highly
by those who are fortunate enough to pos
sess them. They are found In innumerable
shapes and sizes. a witness to the tea
drinking habits of the Russians. Every
Russian peasant who is prosperous enough
TO enjoy the luxury of tea has his samovar
At all inns each visitor is supplied with
one. They invariably accompany the trav-
eler and the picnicker, and even the Of
fiCers starting out upon a campaign find
room for small one in their baggage.
Samovar signifies "self-boiler." 1t is made
OF brass. lined with tin. and with a tube
In the center In which the hot cinders of
charcoal are placed after having been ig-
nited. Often a pipe connects 1t with the
chimney. and two friends will sit for hours
drinking the boiling hot weak tea.

How One Woman Manages-One young
woman. a teacher, who finds the days pre-
cedng Christmas SO full of school work
that it is absolutely impossible to take eX-
ira responsibility on her not over-strong
shoulders, has adopted new plan for re-
RENDERING her friends with appropriate
gifts. At this season she Simply sends out
a few words or card of Christmas greeting
to her friends, but during the year when
ever she comes across anything which she
knows a certain one would appreciate she
gets it then and there, and sends at once
to the one for whom it is intended. AS she
travels every vacation, this gives her an
opportunity of picking up pretty and useful
and unusual things on her journeyings,
each one selected with special thought for
it's especial recipient.
Christmas Cards.-There has been great
decrease in the elaborate Christmas cards
that few years ago filled the stores at
this season, but a marked increase in the
inexpensive little ones, with a simple spray
of holly or miStletoe and just word of
greeting To go with the Christmas book
there are cunning little paper book marks
and cutters, with spr1g OF holly and
Merry Christmas for the handle. Only
3 cents these are For the same price there
are little Christmas stars, with designs Of
holly, little paper tags with holly or mis-
tletoe and Merry Christmas or Happy
Christmas" and a hole ready to run the
ribbon through before affixing 1t to the
Christmas gift. These, too, are only 3
cents, as also variety Of similar Christ
mas conceits for markers, place cards and
| little favors. While a large majority of
| the pretty cards and calendars come from
| Germany, there are a large number Of
quaint English conceits in cards, panels
| and wall strips. An English card repre-
sents Mr.. Pickwick holding out glass of
wine underneath which the old English
adage, Good wine needs no bush and a
| good wish Is good enough"

kin, add your visiting card with a Christ
mas message on the back of one of the
small holly cards, wrap, tie one way with
red ribbon, the other way with green, and
where the colors cross insert sprig Of
holly.
In Distributing Christmas Gifts.-While
the dear old custom of hanging the stock
1ngS In the chimney corner or the ever
green tree, with its sweet, balsamic,
Christmassy odor, it's fairy lights and
well-laden branches, still obtain in the
majority of families who cling to tradi-
gifts for those who welcome change. An
English fashion in families where there
are goodly number of children is called
the witches cave This is constructed
from tables placed SO as to form an ir
regular square and covered with brown
paper bent to formulate rocks. About 1T
are arranged the family palms, ferns or
Ivy pot to give it realism, and fairy
lamps are hung amidst the "shrubbery."
Inc witch is little girl, who sits inside
on stool. She wears black dress with
gold paper designs sewed on, q scarlet
CLOAK and a peaked witch's hat. A stuffed
black calico cat perches on her shoulder
and she holds a broom I'm her hand. The
master of ceremonies, after an introduce
tory speech, asks9sKind witch, have you
any good luck for Tommy Brown?'
whereupon she rises, finds Tommy's par
eel. and some one concealed behind passes
the cave.
Christmas Bells and Eadders-Other in
noVatonS are ChristmaS bells and ladders
in place of trees. These ARE used singly or
IN combination. For the latter two ladders
are set up to form an arch. then heavily
trimmed with greens and holly. The gifts
are suspended from the rounds Of the
ladder and small boys dressed as brownies
scale the heights to dislodge the gifts. A
little girl dressed as German Christmas
anger, or a rubicuhd Santa Claus, usually
directs the efforts of the messengers. The
bell, made of wire1and holly, is suspended
between the ladders
The Lighting of the Tree.-The new cleo
trio Christmas lights are now getting so
reasonable in price that they are supplant-
ing in large measure the old-time real can
dies They come in various sizes, the tiniest
ones giving five times as much Light as
candle, and the globes are of as many col
ors as Joseph's coat They can be used
for at least 200 hours. The wire which
connects them with the house installation
or special battery is wrapped with brown
and green thread and decorated with ivy
leaves. The great advantage OF this light
ing, apart from fits beauty, Is the doing
away with danger from fire. And here a
word OF warning-if real candles are Ito
be used on the tree wet sponge attached
to long pole stick should be In readiness
against a possible ac cdent. Not Christ

Country Life In America.

From Country Life In America
There is a township in North Carolina
that for many years greeted Christmas
with a balloon ascension and shower OF
gifts. At promptly of the afternoon people
gathered from all the country round TO
watch g. large red balloon carry up a pro-
fessional aeronaut. When he reached
proper height he dropped from his basket
a dog, attached to a parachute, which
foated down to the waiting multitude, who
scrambled for 1t. The fortunate one that
gripped 1t became its owner. When the
balloon had climbed the sky few more
rods the helmsman released a fat and de-
sirable goose. This tapped its way down,
and was welcomed even more warmly than
the dog. Then the crowd melted homes
well content.
