Nobody is worried nowadays by the
fact that the twelfth month of the year

a writer, land no doubt even the an

anomaly when the new year was shift.

the old names of the months were re-

who made ingenious use of It'll
cinius, rascally procurator at Lyons
under Augustus. He insisted on hay

fourteen times year, arguing when
December came round, that as it was
the tenth month Of the year and there
ought to be twelve there must be two
more to be accounted for"

mittee failed to include the provision
for the maintenance of naval plants and
the bureau of yards and docks will be
required to economic by withdrawing
from some of the obligations it has
imposed upon the government This
can only be done by furloughing en-
ployes, by cancelling contracts for
coal and water and by cutting off all
expenditures, a course which would
have a far-reaching effect. OF course,
if the funds for lighting, power
and labor are not forthcoming, 1t will
be necessary to stop work in the naval

seems certain to be remedied as soon
as the real significance of the commit

ReeoncileA Scienoo and Religion.
A clergyman is quoted in Every
body's Magazine as confounding an adj
vanced young woman who was demon
strating to him that science had dis
proved religion with this little parable.
Madam" he said, Il once knew a
member Of your sex who perfectly rec
onciled science and religion. She is a
prominent member of the Young Wo-
mems Christian association, and she
was making an address to large gath
ering Of women, which was interrupt
ed by terrific thunder shower. She
shared with many the awful fear of
thunder and lightning, and, with the
others, she trembled in silence for a
few moments. When a binding fash
was swiftly followed by a frightful
clap Of thunder she struggled to her
feet and began to pray, % Lord, take
Us under thy protecting wings, for thou
knowest that feathers are nonconduct-
ors.'"

OUR TRADE WITH RUSSIA
Fell OFF Considerable During The
Late War.
AGGREGATED OVER $28,000,000.00
EXPORTS FROM THIS COUNTRY
AMOUNTED TO s17,ooo,ooo AND
IMPORTS OVER s11,ooo,ooo.
AGGREGATED OVER s2S,ooo,ooo.oo

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 6.-Ac-
cording to the statistics just issued
the trade of the United States with
Russia for the fiscal year of 1905 shows
a balance in favor of this country
amounting to s5,2O0,0OO. The trade to-
tai aggregated $2S,S00,OOO, Of which
SIT ,00O,O00 and the imports from Rus
STA, 81, 100000. In the previous year
the total trade amounted to $31, 000,-
coo, but the falling off is easily &C
counted for by the disturbed condition
of internal affairs in Russia.
The bureau of statistics is of the
opinion that these figures do not ac-
curately represent the aggregate trade,
for the reason that because Of the lack
of direct steamship lines between Rus
sian and American ports goods shipped
from this country and ultimately ar
irving in Russia, and vice versa, are in
many cases consigned to various Euro
pean ports, like Liverpool, Bremen,
to the ports of ultimate destination
or, in the case of American shipments
to Russia, placed aboard the rail-
road cars for overland transportation.
This is particularly true of raw cot
ton, by far the largest item of exporta-
ton to Russia from this country. AS
a matter of fact, the officially recordei
imports of American cotton into Rus
STA in the fve-year period ended De-
cember 81, 1904, are stated in the Off
cial reports of the bureau of statistics
to have been 5000, 900 pounds, or less
than 80 per cent of the direct imports
recorded by the Prussian customs au-
thorities. Nor can it be said that the
Russian figures credit this country
with all the cotton shipments original
ing here. Taking, for example, the
Russian figures of cotton imports for
the calendar year 1908, the latest pc
riod for which imports by countries are
unavailable. We find that, besides $19,-
100000 worth of raw cotton credited
to the United States, imports of raw
cotton to the amount of $4,000 900
are credited to Great Britain, Ger
many. Denmark, Belgium, France,
Sweden and Norway. all countries
which do not produce cotton, but re-
ceive the greater part (about rs per
cent) of their supply from the United
States.

LATEST THING IN A|RsH|P LINE
MASSACHUSETTS MAN ON
ENTIRELY NEW LINES.

BOSTON,, Mass, Feb. 6.-Scientists
and inventors in this city are highly
interested in the announcement just
made that Charles M. Davis, of Brigh-
ton, has invented a flying machine
which is constructed on entirely new
and original principles and is said t.
promise remarkable results. The in
ventor says that his machine is neither
a freak nor fake and will surely do
what he expects it to do 1t has neither
a gas tank nor a balloon attachment
and not even wings, yet it is said that
the model just completed, ascends ITO
any height, without difficulty and with
out danger of a sudden drop. The in
ventor has designed. the machine pri-
marily for use on a battleship. The
machine will move equally we'll in the
air and in the water and can be easily
carried like life boat Three alum
mum propellers furnish the motive
power in either water or air. MI
Davis is trying to get some eastern
capitalists interested in his invention
and will start soon to build a model
on a larger scale.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. GA feel
ing of uncertainty prevails among the
officers and employees connected with
the Brooklyn navy yard, owing to dis
Quieting reports concerning the i'm
mediate future of that institution. 1t
is said that the navy department is
confronted with the prospect of having
to close the navy yard at Brooklyn as
we'll as at other points. This unusual
state of affairs is the result of a fail
ure of the house appropriation COM
mittee to include in the urgent def

of yards and docks to cover existing
obligations for the remainder of the
current fiscal year and for the mainte-
nance of plants at naval yards and

of the bureau, recently presented an
estimate amounting to s175,000 to meet
a deficiency covering nearly all of the
| navy yards, and of this amount $9S, 900

The ORk0in of a Familiar Saving

When Aurelius Paulus, the Roman

some friends reasoning with him asked
'Is she not beautiful and virtuous and
Of noble family and great wealth

And the consul stopped down, unfas-

answered: rs it not of fine material

TOGetAhead

To reach a higher plane and enjoy
more of the comforts of life-that's
the aim. No one ever got ahead with
out an effort-without starting; in fact,
it is all in starting. A Savings account
in J. L. Elam's Bank is a step ahead-a
start for better days.
Many depositors begin their savings
account with one dollar, and by con-
stantly adding a little soon had enough
saved to pay one-half the purchase
price of a mouse and lot. A loan OBJ
tanned for the other half at fair rate
of interest, and now they are the happy
occupants of their own homes. Why
not begin to do likewise. What others
