Is probably because many persons get
money present at Christmas and
have extra cash to spend; also because
women have cought on to the January
bargain sales and deliberately wait
for them.
Real bargains? Well, should say

other less taking specials. 1t doesn't
seem to matter much what the It'd

low enough.
For instance, I reeollect a day

bargain counter piled with some sort

the stuff before, and probably never
would again once that particular box

other to reach the counter, and for no
better reason, I am confident, than
that they were getting an out and out
bargain.
We lost money on the sale Of COM

than made up on the other piles of
goods we sold that day all over the

But we must not regard ourselves as

AS to miracles. Professor Lodge evil
IDENTIFY has in mind some of the subjects
in the domain of psychical research-a
study in which he is deeply interested
when he says: Miracles lie all around
us, only they are not miraculous" He
holds that while strange ana uItra-nof-
NAL things may happen, and are well
worthy of study, they are not to be re-
garded as especially holy. Some of
them may represent either extension or
survival of human faculty, while others
may be an inevitable endowment or at
tribute of a sufficiently lofty character;
but none of them can be accepted with
out investigation" His attitude is that
indiscriminate, dogmatic, rejection is as
Inappropriate as wholesale, uncritical
acceptance.
Perhaps these views are as sound and
TRUE as the views of the other kind of
scientists. They are certainly more
cheerful reading. .--,....

A broken backbone. 1t has been Gus
tomary for the old, timers to senten-
tiously say along about this time, wal,
I guess the backbone of the winter has
been broke" But they aren't saying
so now. Many of them have been killed
by the winter and are not talking at
all. And those who are left alive don't
know what to say, except, perhaps,
oval, this has been a regular old-fash-
toned winter" But We fervently hope
that they will soon be able to make the
remark that is due about winters
backbone. There is no doubt that the
populace would like to see winters back
bone broken before they are entirely
broken by buying coal and other things
that are demanded by hard winter.
And we further and fervently hope
that when the welcome announcement
is made it will stick. and that this win
ter won't linger long after its back
bone has been broken. But We can
only hope. There is little confidence
left after the continuous performance
that this winter has treated us to. OF
course We know that sometime the
grass viii grow green again, that the
birds will sing and swing in the elms,
and the squirrels frisk about under
them. But we do not dare to set or be-
lieve in a date for those joyous hap
penings. And while waiting for the
breaking of the backbone of winter and
the reappearance of the green grass, the
singing birds and the frislSing squir-
rels, we cordially counsel our gentle
readers to be careful about slipping
down or up and breaking their own
precious backbones. 1t were better 10

A CHEERLNG SCIENTIST.

Sir Oliver Lodge is distinguished
scientist, but he is not distinguished
materialist. He has lately said some
things which are we'll worth attention.
He holds that belief in irrefragable law
and in spiritual guidance are not incon-
sistent with each other: "Q) We must
realize that the Whole is a single I'M
deviating, law-saturated cosmos; (2)
but we must also realize that the Whole
consists not of matter and motion
alone, but of both and all; and we must
even yet further and enormously, en-
large our conception of what the Whole
contains Combining the acceptance
Of both these faiths, Professor Lodge
holds that prayer is part of the orderly
cosmos, and may be an efficient portion
of the guiding and controlling will;
somewhat as the desire of the inhabi-
tants Of a town for a civic improve
ment may be a part Of the agency

CHINA LEaRNIAG.

China can, it appears, learn. Reports
from Peking state that the commission
on army reorganization has not only
devised an extensive project Of defense
for the northern provinces, which would
be the first objective of an invasion
from the sea, but has also submitted a
plan for universal military service
throughout the empire with a maxi
mum period of ten years, three to be
passed in the regular army, three in
the first reserve, and three in the Sec
ond reserve. and one in the landwehr.
For the development of this system it
is proposed that each province shall
first enroll 1000 specially selected men,
to serve as a corps of instruction. The
training will be patterned partly on
the German system and partly after the
Japanese, the latter having disclosed
certain features in the present war
which are regarded as specially valu-
able. To protect the northern provinces
it is proposed to organize separate
army of $4,000 men, organized in forty
two infantry divisions, composed of
twelve battalions of 500 men each, with
a proportional strength of cavalry and
artillery.
So far, so much. There is a theory
that Cinnamon will not make good SOL
diers, but perhaps it will not be wise to
stick too closely. to that theory. The
world may get as big a surprise in
China as it has got in Japan.

AN END I'D.

Well, the United States Senate has
ratified seven arbitration treaties, aft
er amending them by striking out the
word agreement in Article II. and
inserting the word treaty" This was
the answer of the Senate to the Presi-
dents letter to Senator Cullom, where
in he indicated that if the Senate ex-
ercise it's prerogative to amend the
treaties he had submitted as contem-
plated, he would decline to exchange
notifications. The vote on the amend
ment was 50 to o. Appeals for delay
were voted down; a motion to adjourn
was defeated AS to Is, and the Senate
held two executive sessions to dispose
of the treaties once and for all.
The feeling in the Senate was in
tense, though the expressions of Sen
ators were couched in temperate Ian
guage. There was more under than on
the surface References to the Santo
Domingo situation were both yelled
and indirect, but the Senators present
thoroughly understood that their ac-
ton was intended to be a hint to the
President not to go too fast in deal
ing with complicated foreign affairs
without consulting the coequal treaty
making power $.f*
This makes an interesting situation,
and also a situation which is more in
teresting than pleasant. But, however,
as the man in the show said.

sign a decree augmenting the Foreign
Office staff. His majesty promised to
think it over, and next morning set out
alone on foot to pay visit to the office.
Arriving at o'clock, he found no one
there. A long search unearthed a soli-
tary clerk, who was smoking cigarettes.
#"What are the hours of this Officer"
asked the King. "From to 49," was
the reply. "And when may expect to
see your colleague?'' "They generally

Colonel Younghusband when at Lhassa
got more than Lord Lansdowne bar
gained for and was severely repri-
manded for exceeding instruc-
lions. He fell from favor in
London, but not at Calcutta, be-
cause he got bigger indemnity than
he was told to ask for, got a longer
and stronger mortgage on the Chumbi
valley than had been prescribed to him,
and boosted British interests generally
more than the grandmotherly politi-
clans at home thought to be safe. The
latter wanted him to make another
bargain with the elder statesmen at
Lhassa inside of two days. 1t seems
he didn't do it, and the Indian govern
