The Rome (Ga.) Herald makes the unique suggestion that Christmas week, the week following Christmas day. be made a week of complete holi- day and relaxation, in which all labor, business or other occupations shall be suspended, except such as are abso- lutely necessary. It might be a good idea, but we are curious to know how it could be enforced.

What it sounds Like.

"Usona" sounds like a Battle Creek patent to usona breakfast table, but it is a matter of solemn fact that name proposed by his British nibs, Sir Ed ward Clarke. for the country of Uncle Sam, having been constructed from the initials of United States of North America" Even if John Hay should approve of 1t and write a poem about it. which Is likely enough. the peo- pie of the United States will still bit terly resent being christened with any such insano-culinary pseudonym.

AN UNTENABLE POSITION.

Another evidence of intolerance Ill particular direction, is shown by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in sending a telegram to the President urging him to "see that Congress observes the existing treaties with the Indians prohibiting the sale of in toxicating liquor before granting Statehood rights to Indian Territory.
 In plain words, the President is to order Congress to refuse Statehood to one of the Territories unless the bill is framed in certain way, and in the second place the new State Is not to be allowed to come into the Union un- less the sale of liquor is prohibited. These good women in their zeal for temperance lose sight of some very i'm portant matters connected with the powers of the States and the Federal Government respectively-a fault often found in zealous advocates of any theory.
 Under our Federal Constitution Con- gross has power Ito make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States Further, it has the power granted 1t to regulate trade with the Indian tribes. Under the power and authority thus granted the Congress certainty has the power to pass all laws and regulations for the government of Indian Territory, and 1t also has the power and the right to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors to the Indians in the Territo- ries, but theYe it ends. It has no right to insert a prohibitory clause in the enabling act, nor would it have any power to enforce such prohibition after the Territorial condition ends and the new State Government is organiz- ed. After a State Government is es- tablished the people will have the same right and power to regulate or prohibit the sale of liquor that the people of Alabama have, no more and no less. If they choose to make it prohibition State they can do 1t, but if they prefer to have the sale carried on the government of the United States cannot prevent it.
 There is one effect that is likely to be produced by this agitation, and that is to delay or prevent the admission of a new State. If the prohibitionists in and out of Congress make a determined fight for their theories it will almost certainly prevent Statehood. for this session, at all events. That may be one of the objects of this agitation.

NEW YORK oPERA sEAsoN.

: The season of opera which began last night, at the Metropolitan opera house has the best kind of subsidy. It does not come from the government. The citizens pay the money directly to MT. Conreid, and the subscription this year exceeds the subyention made by any foreign government to an opera house. Not in Paris. Berlin nor Vienna does the State aid equal the amount sub scribed in advance by the patrons of the Metropolitan. The expenses of the seasony with a certain degree of profit, were assured before the curtain rose last night.
 Opera in New York has thus become the same stable institution that 1t in the countries that supply financial sup port to artistic undertakings. The quality of the performances in New York, too, is sufficient evidence of the greater advantage of private enter prise, in spite of the frequent advoca- cy of subvention from the govern ment as the best means of encouraging art. Every singer in the world looks forward to an engagement at the Met ropolitan as the hightest reward of fame. New York Sun.

THE JAPANEsE IN EoRMosA.

The account of Japanese Adminis- tration in Formosa published in the Times is probably little too favorable, but it is worth study, for the Japanese will, if they are victorious. unquestion- ably try to colonize new dependencies. According to this account they have done wonders. After a year or two of extreme difficulty they have sue ceeded in tanning the peculiarly savage tribes of the island, which was a kind of Alsatia for Chinese bandits and Malay pirates. and have thus relieved the peaceful section of the people of all internal terrors.
 They have built 1000 miles of road and 125 miles of light railway, have sunk an immense number of artesian wells-800 in one district aIone-have established a complete postal service, which includes system of savings banks already popular with the people, and have set themselves to teach meth ods of agriculture forestry and mining, all of which have succeeded. The pro- auction of camphor for instance, has more than doubled and that of camp hor oil increased fourfold; while the gold, silver and coal mines have been scientifically worked. so that the out put of the first named metal has in creased sevenfold.
 The general revenue has been en- larged from e275,0O0 to e1,270, ,000, and the local rates from e74,0O0 to s195. 900. Great attention is paid to sanitary inn provements; hospitals have been set tip everywhere, and 200 Japanese doctors are now practicing in the island; while the use of opium is discouraged, both ' by taxation and strict supervision, the idea being to prevent the addition of l any new victim to the habit. Finally the Japanese educational system has been introduced; and 1S,oOO natives are being regularly instructed. The conse- quence of all this increased work and of the absence of disorder has been an increase of the population to S,OS2, 900, partly, no doubt, from a considerable Chinese immigration. The Japanese, in fact, are able, even among savage populations, to introduce a pax Japo- |

HAPPY CHILDHOOD
Raoht Food Makes Happy Children Be
 cause They are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with children or adults: The same thing is true of other articles of food. What agrees with one sometimes does not agree with others.
 But food can be so prepared that it will agree with the weakest stomach. As an illustration, any one, no matter how weak the stomach, can eat, relish and digest nice hot cup of Postum cof- fee with spoonful or two of Grape Nuts poured in, and such a combination con- tains nourishment to carry one a num- Der of hours, for almost every particle of it will be digested and taken up by the system and be made use of.
 A lady writes from the land of the Magnolia, and the mocking bird, way down in Alabama, and says: T was led to drink Postum because coffee gave me sour stomach and made me nervous. Again Postum was recommended by two we'll known physicians for my children, and I feel especially grateful for the benefit de- rived.
 ssMilk does not agree with either child, so to the eldest, aged foui' and one-half years, I gave Postum with plenty of sweet cream, It agrees with her splendidly, regulating her bowels perfectly although she is of a consti- pated habit.
 sFor the youngest aged two and one half years I use one-half Postum and one-half skinned milk, have not given any medicine since the children began using Postum, and they enjoy every drop of it..
 "A neighbor of mine is giving Pos tum to her baby lately weaned, with splendid results. The little fellow is thriving famously.' Name given by Postum O., Battle Creek, Mich
 Postum agrees perfectly with chil- dren and supplies adults with the hot, invigorating beverage in place of coffee. Literally thousands of Americans have been helped out of stomach and ner. vous diseases by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. Look in pkg, for the little book, The Road to Melville"

 December.
 The members of Victoria lodge, Daughters of Scotia, are actively en- gagged in making preparations for their big Scottish fair to be held in Union hall, Orange street, on December 1s and 14. For year past the Scottish ladies have been busy preparing articles which are all being donated for the fair, and which, when laid out, will fairly bewilder the hundreds of their friends who will be present. Many novel and pretty articles nave also been sent from friends in Scotland. The hall will be laid out to represent Scottish village, and tartans and Scottish em- blems will be largely used in the dec- orations.
 The booths, ten in number, will take their names from historical Scottish cities and will be of artistic design, The Scottish tea table, which made such a hit in the last two fairs held in the armory in aid of the Leila Day nur- series, will be named Edinburgh and will be in charge of Mrs. William Da- vidson, of s7 Avon street, who will serve, in her own dainty style. copious draughts of the cup that invigorates. The famous Scotch shortbread cake will also be dispensed at this booth.
 The fair will be opened each day at o'clock and an entertainment, with a dance, vii be given each evening. The committee in charge is composed of Mrs. William Davidson, Mrs. Donald Brown, Mrs. Charles Grant, Mrs. James Davidson, Mrs. James Adamson and Mrs. James Mustarde.

Corporations that are handled hon

All individuals, rich or poor, private

will mold them to rigid obedience
thereto. The biggest corporation like
