BUs1NEss IS B usINEss.

Philanthropists in New Haven have had experience like that spoken of by the New York Tribune, which says: An entertainment for the benefit of a well known and deserving charitable insti- tuition was arranged recently by a committee of women having the assis- tance of several men whose years of experience in matters of that kind was considered valuable capital with which to begin the business. The use of the word "business" in connection with such an enterprise destroys all the TO- nance and the sentiment, but the methods which were employed merit no other designation. Systematic solieita- ton of contributions through commit tees of men, womoa and children brought a large sum of money to the treasury of the committee, and the sale of contributed merchandise, useful and ornamental, swelled the amount real ized to notable proportions. The affair was a grand success" and everybody connected with it had a good time and received also the thanks of the ins.titu- ton for the benefit of which the enter prise had been launched. Finally, when all was over, the material part of the business. appeared in the form of bills from heartless tradesmen, musi- clans, decorators and others who had helped toward the grand success" Bills had to be paid, and when this had been done a comparatively small amount was left to be turned into the treasury of the struggling institution
 Such is a part of life in large and small cities Of course it would be cheaper and more helpful if philan- thropic work could be carried on in some other way. There used to be talk that it cost 90 cents to get 10 cents to the heather, and probably it costs all it ought to now.

The Day After.

It was the day after Christmas, Many things I had sent, And I searched through my clothes, But found not a cent was down in the mouth, In fact l was blue, For l could not well tell How I'd eyer pull through. Happy New Year was near. And the bills coming due, In fact I felt queer, As also would you Had you been in my place, With no money to burn, And thinking which way For the long green to turn. And this was the spirit Of Christmas, not Yale, That made me feel faint, And made my heart quail.

4 WARM AND WARMING INCIDENT

Therefore if thine enemy hunger feed him; if he thirst give him drink; for in So doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.' Heaping coals of fire on an enemy's head in this way is good for the enemy and good for the one who does it. If more people did it the world would be a warmer place than 1t is. A noteworthy instance of such heaping is reported from France. Eight years ago Lieutenant Colonel Picquaru was chief of the Intelligence bureau at French army headquarters. Becoming convinced that Captain AL fred Dreyfus was undergoing a dread ful, almost insupportable, punishment for a crime committed by another man, he honorably and bravely declared his convictions. For doing this he was deprived of his post, sent off to Algeria, court-martialed retired from the army, and imprisoned. Andry, general of bri- gade. was one of his prosecutors. Pic quart is now minister of war, and his list of Christmas promotions is just out Andry's name is in it Picquart has made Andry general of division.
 This is a very encouraging incident It indicates that there are people in the world who love mercy and can deal justly.

4 FLOURISHING INFANT.

The beet sugar industry is still one of our infant industries. but it Is a flourishing infant. The Secretary of Agriculture estimates the beet sugar production of the country for 1906 at S5OOOO long tons, valued at $34OO0,O 900, against a crop seven years ago, on only S7,O0O, ,OOO As matter of fact, on the basis of later figures, the season s crop will aggregate about 45O,O0o tons, at valuation of considerably over $4O,OOO,O0O In the West sugar beet growing is rapidly increasing. For the last year Colorados crop of beet sugar was 3Oo,OO0,OOO pounds, and California was next with 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds. In the irrigated regions the sugar beet will be largely cultivated. and the an- nual product in future years will amount in value to hundreds of mil lions and perhaps exceed all other croos.
 There doesn't seem to be any limit to our growth and expansion. Pretty soon we shall read about something else that is aourishing beyond all calculations.

The announcement that the London Daily Mail is about to issue weekly edition for the blind draws attention to the other British journals published in Braille type, which have had long and useful career, though they have sell dom been seen by the general public. The first weekly newspaper for the blind was published on June 1, 1892, and called the Weekly Summary. It has always been issued below cost price, and it's promoters derive no ben eft from its publication. Another was started only last year. called the Braille Weekly, and issued from Edln- burgh.

AS one who honors and admires Theodore Roosevelt for his courage and his devotion to popular rights. says ex-Governor Durbin of Indiana. "I shall not be misunderstood in say ing that thet tendency of the present national administration has been too much in the direction of centralizing authority-which the forefathers de- creed should be distributed among three coordinate branches of govern Gnent-in the hands of one man. The President. inspired, it is true by the best of motives and In the cause of the people, has established some prece- dents that would be dangerous to the very life of this republic if followed by some President having in view the furthering of purposes less unselfish."
 Professor Arsonval, of the French Academy of Sciences. has made a re- port of the result of a remarkable ex- pertinent by Dr. Stephan Leduc at Nantes. Dr. Leduc has succeeded in producing plant in an artificial way. The 'seed grain" is a pill about one millimetre in circumference and con sists of one part of sulphate of copper and two parts of glucose. The pill is placed in a gelatne solution containing per cent, of ferrocyancallum and a small quantity of salts, such as are found in sea water. The plant that de- velops is kind of sea weed. Some of these artificially produced specimens attain a length of 45 centimeters. These plants are subject to the same influences as are the natural ones, such as the sun, etc., but they cannot propagate.
