INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Youngsters of Oriental Ministers st Washington Never Heard of Christ
 mas Before Coming Here.

There are in the foreign colony in Washington quite a number Of children who never heard of Christmas until they came to the land of the free, says the Wash hgton Times. Among them are the two sons and the daughter of the Chinese minister, the young sters of the Korean legation, and Osman Sureya and Ali Haidas, the black-eyed little sons of Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister. When Wu Ting-Fang was Chinese minis. ter he adopted the American Christmas to the extent that his young son was allowed to go to the white house each Christmas morning with a bouquet almost as large as himself designed as q token for the first lady of the land. In the Chinese colony are several children who have beep enjoying an American Christmas for some years past. These for tunate youngsters are the chjl- dren of Yung Kwai, the secretary. interpreter, whose wife is a New England woman.

NEARLY WEDS BRIDESMAID.
When Bride, RealAsinS Situ- ation, Calls . Halt.

But fer . sudden protest by the bride the bridegroom at a wedding in St.. Mary's church, New Britain, Conn.,, would have been married to the brides- maid tho other day. Peter Wood and Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en- tered the church with Stephen Ferry and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best man and bridesmaid. When the party cached the altar the bridesmaid, in- stead of retiring in favor of the bride. remained at the bridegroom's side.
 Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere- mony, but just as he had reached th& fateful part Miss Strader jumped up and asked Father Winters to stop.
 An explanation followed, the young women exchanged places, and the ceremony went on. The bridesmaid had never attended a wedding before

The Summer Season.

Nhen one reflects upon the delightful weather which pre-, vailed so generally in October, says Four-Tfack News, and the even more perfect weather in Mo- vember, it naturally calls forth the query, "why do we call the sum- mer season from July 1 to Sep tember 1?" It is absurd! June and september-even October and often November gives us more delightful weather than July and August. I, for one, vote unani' mouslk for longer summer sea son, for a fuller period in which to enjdy the beauties of nature, for nature is so varied in her moods, And so lavish with her charms that she deserves more of our atteAtion, and the more atten- tion we Hestow the more we learn to admira her every phase and fancy, ana the more we admire the betteHoff we are, for every in fuence which nature exerts is for the good.

NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
Shell Seen by Visitors at Columbia Not tho Ono in Which Her
 Crew Won at Henley.

Columbia students and .gradu. ates will be disappointed to learn that the old shell hung in the uni versity trophy room on Morning side Heights is not the original boat in which the Columbia crew won the Visitors Challenge cup at Henley in 1878. The shell, says the New York Sun, occupies the most prominent position in the room and has been pointed out to every visitor as the only American boat manned by college crew to win at Henley.
 The first doubt as to the authen- ticity of the boat was expressed several months ago by Francis Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the university, who has always been prominent in Columbia's rowing interests. Subsequent investiga- tions have shown that on the day before the Henley crew sailed fo1 America Capt. Goodwin sold the two shells which Columbia had taken to England to Cambridge university, where they were used till a very few years ago, when they were broken up.
 There is some consolation for the Columbia men in the fact that the oars used by her crew in this race, which are also on view in the trophy room, are the real ones Wrought back by the crew and sub \eequently presented to the uni. Cersity.

SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Some Seen by Prof. Won Jogglshy from His Study Window
 Backyard SasneA

T know when spring is at nand," said Prof. von Joggleby, according to the New York Sun, Sby the things l see in the range of backwards in view from my study window.
 "Ia the aheltered corner of some of these yards, where it is pro tected from the cold winds and where 1t gets not only the direct, but from the sheltering fences, the reflected rays of the adyanc- ing seasons warmer sun, the grass begins to grow green while yet there may be in other parts of the yard patches of snow and ice. The eager grass responds to the first call of spring.
 "And 50 do the dwsllers in the houses to which these yards are at. tached. On that same day in some of these yards there were people out raking up the winters debris; the scraps and pieces of paper, and the twigs and tho sticks, left on the ground after the melting away of it's winter covering. They had sensed the approach of spring and they were cleaning up; and on the first occasion, anyway, they were moved no doubt not so much by a desire for neatness and trim ness in their several yards as by an inward prompting to get back to them once more; to mother earth.
 "It doesn't matter to me what the ground hog may say, or how many other indications may point, I always know when spring Is at hand by these two signs, by the coming green of the tufts of grass in the sheltered corners of my back yard, and by the appear ance of my neighbors at work cleaning up."

Magnificent Distances.

The diocese of Kis watin, in Ru pert's Land, is one of magnificent distances. Bishop Lofthouse once walked 200 miles to fetch a doctor for his wife. Many of the Indians walk 25 miles to church, and the bishop has baptized scores of ba- bies which had been carried 150 miles on their mothers backs over hard-frozen snow. At night the family sleep, wrapped in the deer skins, on branches laid upon the snow.

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER,
GUS Fish weighing 125 Pounds with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, g cornet soloist ol he Catalina Island band, is most en. thusiastic and picturesque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch. one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- 1T morning he though he would inscribe she tuna record also on his diadem, and taking the Catalina hiked out after tho biggest specimens of the tiger-fsh to be taken. He had uncorked but small DOT lion of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then 1t whizzed. By consummats skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes, and then he began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight lasted. It was formidable looking crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat. and there was debate. sitsv it was eaffed, as to whether 1t would Do . welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack hero, the creature began to excite comment. To the casual observer 1t was but moon-fish, a rather unusual catch, but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangied in tho osherpen's nets. This, however, was caught with hook and rod and reel. something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A glance at the fish also showed . radical difference between this and the sword-flsh.
 Its sword is not so long as that of the genuine sword-fish of this length; the lower jaw is unduly elongated; it has on It's back collapsible fin, which, when extended, stands up 15 inches above the dsh. but folds down into grove, until It Is unnoticeable; the tail Is like the screw of a propeller, and very similar tn appearance to that of the tuna
 The fish sharps are all guessing. Tho 'fRe of this has not been seen here before, nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature Is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds. The sword Is "A inches long and the tail s 39 across.

"NATURE NEVER GIVES uP.'
A Phrase That Is Full of Meaning for the Sick in Either Body
 or Mind.

Aphrase from a recent magazine article is so suggestive and so full of encouragement that it seems worth while to make it the text for one of our small sermons, says Woman's Home Companion. The phrase is: Mature never gives up." You may with profit say this over carefully and thoughtfully and let it's full meaning come to you: "Nature never gives up." Nature is on the side of health, and sanity, and consequent happi- ness. Hard as your case may be, the great Mother is lighting the battle with you. Has disease got into your bones? Nature has mar shaled her forces to combat it, and with marvellous strategy has set engines to work which are en. deavoring to circumvent the en- emy. Nature is working in con- Junction with the physician and yourself. That is thought which ought to cheer you. You have been imprudent, possibly have done and left undone. You have taken such ill-care of your God-given body that your friends have set you down as hopeless or worse. You have told yourself that there is no hope for you. Ma, ture has not given you up. She wants you to live and work and be healthy and happy and in the event of your neglect of yourself, she is still fighting for you. She has no moral idea in doing this. She just does it. Perhaps you de- serve to be given up. Many of us do, it sometimes seems. But Ma ture is blind to that. Of course, she is not all-powerful. She can be overcome. She fails often. But you will do we'll to remember that in every case while there is a spark of life left, she is trying. Let that thought brace you. Buck up, and give Nature some help.
 I should like to think that we could carry the analogy into the moral world as we'll. Do you not believe that there are forces as yet unvalued which are fighting the fight for good in the souls of men? Bad man or woman may be-there is exterior pressure to make him or her better. There is law; there is education; there are all the societies and institutions whose object is to help the down fallen and the unfortunate. But are there not other forces, too? Does not the great Mother of Souls fight continually for the spiritual health and sanity of all people? The thought is comfort ing, stimulating, encouraging. It Is the business of every individual to add all his personal strength to all encounters with evil, physic- al or spiritual. He can do so more heartily and with better faith for success if he remembers that Una ture never gives up."

Thousands of Parisians who are in the habit daily of setting their watch es by the famous clock on the bourse were filled with dismay the other week when tho famous dmepiece was seen to lose several hours in the course of a day and then stop alto gether. For many years the bourss clock has been considered one of the infallible ckronometers of the city. Apparently the recent additions and improvements of the old bourse have been too much for its delicate mech- anism.

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
UnbOnded Government Clerk Carries Money from Washington to Now
 York in . Suit Case.

Col Edwards, chief of the division ot insular affairs, recently told the story of a bureau clerks remarkable trip a few days ago with $3,O00, 900 of government cash. The clerk is Marion B. Beall. whose homo is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York.
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and tho bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in tho Philip pines. To. MT. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. Tho bureau of printing and engraving turned out $3,000,0O0 in $1,0Oo bills The 1nsular department wanted to get the money to Now York. Beall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting tho treasure. Flight hundred dollars" :" said each of the companies.
 "1'hat's too much," said Col. Ed- wards whom Beall reported. What's tho matter with you putting the money in suit case and taking it up yourself?"
 Why. sure, I can take 1t if you are willing to trust me with it," said Beall.
 The money was put in . suit case and Beall, although not even. under bond, carried 1t from this city to New York. whence 1t was shipped.

PROF. r. A. MOORE secretary of the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment as
ISOLATION, has completed the program for
the third annual convention, which is to
be held at Madison contemporaneously
with kindred associations Wednesday
and Thursday, Feb. 3 and 4. The exper-
iment association is composed OF young
men who have attended the college of
agriculture ct Madison. It has mem
bership of about 700 and this will be in
creased to 900 by the admission of 200
short-course students now in the college
of agriculture. The association was or
ganized three years ago for the purpose
of conducting practical experiments in
agriculture. Its experiments saved in
the oat crop alone, through the widely
used method of the formaldehyde treat
ment of seed for the destruction of smut
spores, over S500O,O0O year, and dem
onstrated that the best variety for grow
ing here is Swedish oats. The association
will this year conduct a number of ex-
periments in the growing of corn, for the
purpose of producing, if possible, hardy
grade that will mature in the northern
portions of the state where the warm
season is short, and of improving the
grades grown in the southern part of the
state. The state aids this experiment
work by appropriating $1,000 year to
the association and printing 5000 copies
of reports of experiments. The money
appropriated is spent principally for seed
for experiments.

THERE can be no question whatever
that large proportion of the Republi-
cans of this state are thoroughly con-
WINGED there should be change of lead
ership in the next state campaign, and
although majority of them probably
have clear cut opinions why this should
be done, there are many who have been
moved to this conclusion merely by
settled feeling that it would result for
the best interests Of the party and the
state. A great many of them have been
loyal supporters of the governor hereto
fore, and although they still believe in
the principles which he has advocated,
and hope to see them succeed. they are
becoming impressed with the claim that
this can best be accomplished by sepa-
rating the principles from the man and
demanding that both shall stand on
their own particular merits. In gen
eral way they feel that the governor has
been directly responsible for the bitter
ness wrangling and factionalism that
have befallen the party during the past
few years, and the impression grows that
if the governor had been more careful
and tactful in his personal conduct it
would have been possible to avoid much,
if not all Of the friction which has arisen
to destroy the harmony and unity of the
party, thereby hampering it's usefulness
to large degree and even impeding the
success of the very principles for which
the governor has contended. - White

LaCemakinE.

The birth Of lacemaking dates back
to the days of Greek maidens who
watched the spider make it's web and
copied the pattern with fine threads Of
fax. The art has developed to the
point of producing brussels point,
which is so delicate in texture that the
dryness Of the air makes the threads
brittle; therefore the makers Of the
finest kinds have to work in damp Gel
lars, using magnifying glasses. On the
altar cloths and vestments Of the
church will be seen the most beautiful
Of the old rose point as it was made by
the nuns in their convent cells and ded-
icated to the use of the church. Every
one is familiar with the painting Of
"Queen Bess, the Dress Lover" which
shows her with high RIFLES embroid-
cred with seed pearls. The portraits Of
Queen Charlotte display this keenest Of
lace lovers in hoops of balloon-like
founces Of her priceless lace. Queen
Victoria preferred to lay away in laven-
der boxes the piles of inherited laces.
