SOME TIMELY . STATISTICS.

S1asOn Thompson Of the Bureau Of
Railway News has Just completed his
report of railway statistics for 1904
and 1905. The feat OF presenting, In
a comprehensive volume. figures as
vast as these and bringing, them up
almost to the date of publication has
never before been accomplished. Mi.
Thompson has beaten the experts Of
the interstate commerce commission
with all their army of assistants by a
year and half. u &55- y. NJ
In his introduction the author says:
aided by liberal appropriations the
statistics OF the interstate commerce
commission have been compiled with
ever increasing comprehensiveness
until now they are regarded as the
most complete iii the world. Unfortu-
nately this development has been at
tended with increasing dilatoriness in
their publication SO that, at this time
when they are so essential for a
proper appreciation Of many problems
OF public economy, etc, the completed
statistics for the year ending June 80,
1904, were not distributed until De-
cember 1906 3sf5ss O. sAA:;fi
The conclusion at which Mr..
Thompson arrives are interesting. He
says that the principal points to be
drawn from his columns are:
That there is. no excuse for the
commissions delay OF fifteen months
in giving the complete statistics OF
railways to the public. s%4 81 vi
That the statistics should be con-
fined to operating companies only,
thus avoiding Implications and con-
fusion. NJ gz b VIA: 53:.s,& NJ ss .5. .., 5g@
That the compilation Of railway
statistics should be entrusted to- the
department of commerce and labor,
whose statistician, gets out fuller
statistics of American Industries
every month within a month Of the
affairs to which they relate than the
commission statistician furnishes
eighteen months after the close of
each fiscal year. % f4zs.5s 49, q.
That official compilation of stats.
tics should not be entrusted to men
with pet theories and prejudices,
especially when these are adverse to
the interest about which it is es-
sential the truth should be known; j:
That congress should establish ma
tional inquiry. by expert officials into
the cause Of railway accidents pat
termed after that Of Great Britain.

a golden virtue at Christmas as well
as at other periods of the year.
Sometimes there is complaint at
home that father is moody and taci-
turn, and a little management and
tact are in order before mothe. and
the girls ask him for money, the fact
being that the poor man is borrowing
right and left, and is almost beside
himself to meet the drain on his re-
sources.
Several years ago, soon after the
glow of the yule-.ide had faded into
the ashen embers of midwinter,
business man was taken i'll. Dragging
along through the weeks of February
and March, the victim it seemed of
mysterious malady, he died and was
buried during Easter week. When
his affairs were settled, they were
found to be extremely involved. The
entire scheme of living for the family
had to be reconstructed. and with
pangs of agony those whom he had
loved discovered that their extrava-
gance had really sapped the springs of
his life They were net altogether to
blame. Husbands are not invariably
frank and candid with wives. Fathers

to her little friends, but it is not the
doll which gives most satisfaction. 1t
is not the doll that the child plays
with. Very likely her mother con-
siders it too fine to be spoiled and
puts it away in the closet except on
state occasions. A doll on the closet
shelf may be a marvel of elegance,
but it brings no particular gratifica-
ton to the child who seldom sees it.
Our yule-tide should be full of
warmth and cheer, our extra money
should be spent on plenty of light and
an open fire, and there should be good
times at home, the best times then in
all the year.
The beneiicent spell of the yule-
tide has most of heaven in it when
we remember our poorer neighbors
and our lonelier friends. There are
people known to us all who will be
made very happy by so simple a thing
at Christmas-tide as letter. For in
stance, there is the seamstress who
worked for you 20 years ago and who
is ending her days in an old ladies'
home. She has nobody of her own
left to visit her and one day passes

be made more cheerful by a visit if
you can make it, or a letter if you
can send it,

THREE cHRlsTMAsEs EACH YEAR
In Palestine the Day Is Celebrated on
Three Different Dates.

That Christmas comes but once a
year" is not a correct statement to
make in Bethlehem of the Holy Land,
for it comes three times, officially and
enthusiastically, authorized by the
usages of centuries. The first Christ
mas, which falls on the 25th of De-
cember, Is celebrated by the Latins
and Protestants. This date accords
with the calendar as reformed by
Pope Gregory Kill in 1882 A. d. The
Latin or Western Christian church is
not, and never has been, known by the
name of Roman Catholic to the ma
tives of either Palestine, Syria or
Egypt, but always as the Latin"
church.
But what in Europe and America Is
known as the Greek Orthodox, or Rus.
so-Greek Communion, the Eastern
Christian church has always, and still
is, called "Roumee," or Roman, by the
native population, as also officially by
the Ottoman government, it being the
communion recognized by the Mos
lens when they conquered the Byzan-
tine provinces. The "Roumee," or
Greek Orthodox church still adheres
to the Julian calendar, adjusted by
julius Caesar 46 B. c., by which count
the 25th of December falls on our 9th
of January, celebrated by us as Epi-
phany and "Old Christmas" Tho Ar
menian church has also a different
ecclesiastical calendar, which brings
it's Christmas oa the 18th of January

be cleared away before February 2, or
Candlemas day.
In France it is common practice
to celebrate Christmas by giving an

on the theory that all creatures should
rejoice at this season.

brought up a lawyer, or he will be-
come a thief.
In all the states Christmas is legal

following days are also holidays.
The leaves proper to use in Christ

would soon have crushed every rib in
Georges body if the youths sweet

Mary Goodwin had been dancing

poker. 1t proved q good weapon. 10

length, and it had been in use so long
that one end had worn to a sharp
point. It's effectiveness had been inn
proved by a young man who had stuck
the sharp end in the fire for the pur-
pose of using it to take the chill from
pitcher of hard cider.
When Mary Goodwin saw her low

struggled to get loose from the mad
bears powerful arms she ran to his
assistance, Help! For Gods sake,
help me. boys!" shouted George. The
bear was trying to fasten his teeth in
his victims throat, when the brave
girl thrust the red-hot point of the
iron bar behind the monsters fore

upon it. The sharp point slipped be-

Peculiar Ceremony With Which

Some of the tribes of South Amer

q great deal of show and ceremony.
Not the least important part of the
celebrations is the parade of the chief
and high functionaries of the tribe, all
gorgeously ornamented with neck
laces of bush-hogs' teeth, long strings
of seeds or beads, crowns of beautiful
feathers, trailing decorations of bright
colored birds skins, and painted and
spotted in varied patterns. The chief
always heads the procession, carrying
