Homemade or Bought Gifts.
From the indianapolis News.


There is so much talk in favor of home
made Christmas presents, and generally
so much criticism of those that are bought,
that a word Of defense of these is timely.
To say that homemade presents are much
to be preferred is too sweeping 1t con-
dennis the practice of too many generous
women of good Intentions. There are home
made presents that are beautiful and most
acceptable, and there are home made pres
ents--that ought to have a note OF apology
accompanying them. Simply to remember
a friend with a gift-anything that can be-
made by hand-is not enough. The gift
must be useful or beautiful or both. Every
body has not the time nor the talent 20
make acceptable articles for gifts. People
that are forced to buy bestow quite
much thought in selecting gifts and accom-
pany them with as much love as If they mad
converted material into objects of use
and beauty. II not ridiculous, il is Ger
tainly unfair to disapprove or to condemn
people because they buy the things they
give; because, recognizing their inability,
they employ, In effect. some one better
equipped to do the work. There is an old
saying, never look gift horse in the
mouth. Criticism of the manner in which a
donor obtains gifts would seem to be Vio-
lation of this axiom quite much criti-
cism of value or size color or use. II
would not be hard to prove that in many
cases a person showed more consideration
and love in sending bought gifts. perfect OF
perfect OF their kind. The majority of men
send bought gifts. No one thinks any the
less of such gifts because they are bought.
1t ought to be so with women.

Electric Power in Oil Fields.

From the New York Tribune.
Electricity is coming into favor In tn.
Russian oil region. both for drilling and
pumping. At present there are fully two
thousand wells In operation there. for each
Of which a steam plant of limited capa city
say, twenty-five or thirty horsepower-has
at some time been installed. That the midi
vidual user of power should provide his own
supply is perfectly natural. of course but
production on small scale is far from be-
ing economical Besides there Is danger
that destructive fires may result from tho
nearness of the requisite furnaces 10 over
flowing tanks or from the opening OF new
wells, Both evils might be minimized Ivy
judiciOus change of procedure, and at
ready steps have been taken to initiate the
reform.
A company has been formed which VIII
erect at Baku central station, where en-
g.nes developing at least 1,5Go horsepower
will be employed to drive dynamos. The
current thus generated will be transmitted
by cables to SabuntSshi, six and one-helf
miles away. and will be distributed at that
point to local patrons. Ii is doubtful
whether any existing steam plant will be
discarded for an electric motor, but mas
much as the demand for power is constantly
increasing new requirements alone should
soon create a market for this supply. In
time 1t is not unlikely that the popularity
of the reform will make it necessary to m
crease the capacity OF the station, but at
the very outset the latter promises 10 be
able to accommodate at least fifty custom
ers. Transmission by wire entails slight
loss, but this is small compared with the
enormous saving effected by a wholesale
generation of power. 1t should be possible
to supply the latter at a much lower cost
than has been practicable hitherto and also
to reduce the fire risk nearly to zero.
In the United States. which divides with
Russia the responsibility of furnishing the
world with petroleum, this example may be
wisely Initiated. Americans have the most
extensive and most wonderful transmission
lines in existence, and In a few mines en-
ploy electric power to expel water hoist
ore and operate drills or cutting machines.
We doubt If any considerable use -
made of II in the oil regions of this country.
If the methods now in vogue here are
wasteful a reform in them might prove adj
vantageous to the consumer as well as 10
the producer.

Wagner Not Ruinous to Voice.

Some English families have been in
Bruges for matter of several generations.
OF course, there are occasional visits to
England and otherwise connection with

island is by no means lost, but just the
same those English longest In Bruges have
absorbed, unconsciously undoubtedly. many
native characteristics. and it is not a flight
of fancy to believe that If the English Isles
were TO be wiped out tomorrow by some
cataclysm these residents would become as
patriotic citizens of Bruges as were those
burgomasters known in history for the
long and wealth-consuming battles they
fought with ruler and invader for their
beloved and opulent city's sake
The schools in Bruges are excellent, be-
ing subsidized by the government Many
English children receive their education In
them; others are sent to England for finish
ing touches. II is worth noting in passing
that not few of the boys partially edu-

days the Life so aptly pictured by Wads-

Since before the advent of William the
Conqueror on England's soil Bruges has
had its English residents. For centuries
the stress of circumstance that drove them
thither differed greatly from that which
now operates.
Emma, widow of Canute the Great
sought refuge at the Court of Baldwin of
Lille. when, in 1896 she was forced to flee
through the evil work of the great Earl
Goodwin. A little later her son Harthacnut
Joined her. When she returned to England
on his accession to the throne her place
was shortly filled by niece of the famous
Canute, the Princess Gunhilda. Four years
after his son. on being outlawed, had fled
to Bruges Earl Goodwin himself made the
city his refuge, and after the advent of the
Conqueror the earfs widow and daughter

David Copperfield in the first chapter of

the delightful and picturesque spot Dickens
selected for the early scenes of the best of
all his books. One comes upon the correct
name of the place for the first time on a
signpost at the crossroads between Loves
loft and Yarmouth, similar signpost to
that which attracted Dickens himself when
in 1S4S he stayed for time at Yarmouth
as mentioned In his letters. He had gone
there, apparently. to gather local color for
David Copperfield," which he was then
contemplating writing, and it was from
Yarmouth that he made an intimate ac-
quafntance with the village. Reading the
name on the signpost he was fascinated by
the sound of the word, and afterward adapt
ed 1t by slightly altering it to the Blunder-
stone now familiar to all who have read his
masterpiece
Previous to the Yarmouth visit as Dick
ems himself has recorded, he had been on a
short visit to Sir Morton Peto, at Somerley-
ton Hall, near by. and his host took spe-
cial pains to show him round the country,
which is very beautiful. Sir Morton had
