When Queen Victoria visited any of her subjects it was by no means a matter of course that people staying In the house should have the privilege of sitting down at table with their august fellow visitor.

New Years In Japan.

Most of the people you meet on the Japanese New Year'sday are carrying a squashed salmon with piece of paper tied round it's waist by a paper string which holds little gold paper kite. That kite means that the thing is a present and has not to be paid for. Those who are not carrying crushed salmon or taking up the street in giv- ing correct New Years salutations are playing battledoor and shuttlecock.

NO PRIMATE FOR AMERICA.
Vatican Authorities Deny Report About
Giving More Power to the Archbishop
of Baltimore.

Rome, Jan. 1.-THE report circulated
in the United States that q meeting
Of the American hierarchy Of the Cath.
Ollie church would be held in Washing
ton January 81 for the purpose Of dis
cussing the project Of creating pri-
mate in the United States probably
originated from the rumor that the
pope was considering the congestion
Of work at the vatican. especially Of
such work as comes under the direc-
ton Of the congregation Of the propa-
ganda, and that he desired to put into
execution some form of decentraliza-
ton Of this work. From this rumor
the conclusion has been drawn that
besides the primate of all ireland,
which nominally exists in the person
Of Cardinal Logue, archbishop of
Armagh, other primates were to be
appointed for Great Britain, the United
States and Australia and that these
primates were to be respectively the
archbishops Of Westminster, Baltimore
and Sydney The vatican authorities,
however, disclaim that any such plan
has been contemplated.

Paris, Jan. 5.--The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Paris edition Of
the New York Herald says that the
reply of the Russian government to
the Japanese government is now in
the hands Of Admiral Alexieff, the Rus
sian viceroy in the far east, who will
deliver it when he considers that q
fitting moment has arrived. According
to the correspondent, Viceroy Alexieff
declares that Russia has not given up
hope of a peaceful settlement Of the
differences between the two govern
ments. The correspondent says:
"As to whether Russia's reply will
be acceptable to Japan, no one hero
will express an opinion. The reply
has been carefully considered and,
from Russia's point Of view. is framed
in terms which Japan can hohorably
accept"

THE DIETRICH CASE



Omaha, Neb., Jan. 4.-To-day the
trial Of United States Senator Charles
H. Dietrich will begin in the federal
court. He has been indicted on three
different counts--for the alleged viola
tion Of section 1881 Of the revised
statutes; alleged conspiracy with Post
master Fisher, Of Hastings, to violate
section 1881 and for the alleged Illegal
leasing Of buildings and receiving bene-
fits therefrom while member Of the
United States congress. The two for
mer indictments are named as the
ones to come to trial first and indica-
lions point to legal battle as to which
OF the two will first be tried. Senator
Dietrich's counsel has already stated to
the court that he will attack the va
lidity and sufficiency of the conspiracy
count, and this motion, when present
ed, no doubt will receive extraordinary
attention. District Attorney Summers
has announced his wish to first try Sem
ator Dietrich on the conspiracy charge,
while the senator's counsel has stated
that the court will be asked to first
try the case on the Indictment charg-
ing direct violation Of the statute. 4

different colors. Then Simply Gaining
to mind particular color will enable
them to remember the memorandum
associated with that color. OF course,
all this is based on what is known
as the faculty Of association of ideas.
Some people who can remember
words and phrases, find difficulty in re-
membering figures or numbers. In
such cases a curious expedient has
sometimes been resorted to. A phrase
will be devised, the initial letters Of
which suggest the figures sought to
be remembered. For example, sup
pose some ones street number to be
1872. The suggestive phrase might be:
II seek him." The letter I will sug-
gest the figure 1; the letter s somewhat
resembles an, 8, and the two perpendicu-
lar strokes Of the H suggest the Roman
numeral II. A roundabout method this
may be, but it has served to fasten fig
ures in the memory of people who had
previously found them troublesome.
But perhaps the most wholesome way
in the long run is simply by repetition
and effort to fix the thing in the mem
Org directly without tricks Of memory
or artificial methods. By memorizing
one sentence or verse day from the
best literature, the mind will soon have
Q fine treasure of beautiful thoughts,
and an enriched vocabulary. DR.. Will
liam Punshion, a great English preach
er, did this, and his fine prose may have
been largely due to his familiar ac-
quaintance with the best literature.
For quotation purposes it is neces-
sary toremember verbatim, and though |
this Is the hardest task Of memory, 1t |
well repays the effort. Once trained F,
the memory will be able to recall the
exact words of conversation, sermons
and passages in books without having
made any conscious effort to commit
them.
