Ancestral Memory.


That strange sensation which most
people have had of apparently re-
membering some scene on which
they have just set their eyes for the
first time is called ancestral men,
ory" by Rev. Forbes Phillips. He
writes: Some ten years ago l paid
my first visit to Rome. Again and
again within the city there came
these flashes of recognition. The
baths of Caracalla, the Appian way,
the catacombs of st. Calixtus, the
Coliseum--all seemed familiar to
me. The reason seemed obvious. I
was renewing my acquaintance with
what | had seen in pictures and
photographs. That might explain
the buildings, but not the dark un-
lderground windings of the cata-
combs. A few days later I was out at
Tivoli. Here. again. the whole place
and countryside were as familiar
to me as my own parish. found
myself struggling with a torrent of
words, describing what 1t was like
in the older days. Up to that time
l had read nothing of Tivoli; l had
seen no views; only few days pre-
Ivious to my visit had heard of its
existence, and here l was acting as
lguide and historian to u party of
friends who concluded that l had
made "a special study of the place
and neighborhood. Then the vision

Brief Vacations Most ENJOYABLE.

Whether our vacation be taken II
home or afield its success depends up
on what one of the philosophers Calls
our relation to ourselves. "LimI.a
ton makes for happiness" is an ac-
cepted proyerb. That is to say, the
more fun is TO be gotten out of it. 1--WE
are happy in proportion as our range
of vision, our sphere of work, our
points of contact with the world are
restricted" There is no reason why
the philosophy, if sound. snoulo not
be applied to holidays. For most peo-
pie the vacation period is necessarily
brief. 1t is comforting to know that it
need not be fruitless for that reason.
The insect travelling around on its
leaf may imagine that it is master of
a kingdom. "A one-day holiday is
worth more to some persons not ac-
customed to longer respite than a
whole summer of bored laziness is to
the professional idler-Philadelph

only is a saving of labor to the send

GOVERNMENT TO HAVE GARAGE
Special Building for imported Auto

Special Building for Imported Auto
mobiles PROVIDED in New York.
New York, Dec. 6.-After a coa-
ference of the United SJa.es customs
authorities, held in New York, it
was announced chat the government
will establish shortly there the most
complete garage in tie world for the
examination and appraisal of i'm
pating in the conference were John
H Edwards, assistant secretary of
the treasury; Henry L. Swards.
deputy collector, and Edward s.
Fowler, appraiser of the port. Up
to few months ago all automobiles
entered from abroad through the
custom house were appraised at the
federal public stores or warehouse.
Last summer the extraordinary in
crease in the importations made it
nee essary for quarters to be secured
outside the federal building, owing
to the extensive foorage required for
the proper handling of the cars. The
| government accordingly rented quar-
tiers in bonded warehouse at No.
$40 West Twelfth street. These quar-
tiers have already become inadequate
besides being 100 dark for the proper
examination of the machines.
At the conference statistics were
placed before Assistant Secretary
Edwards, showing that automobile
imports at the port of New York dur
ing the ten months of the present cal
endar year ended with Nov 1, have
increased more than SO Is. per cent.
In detail it was shown that the num-
Der of autos imported from Jan.
to Oct. 81, inclusive, was 1882, in
Guiding : domestic cars valued at
appraised value of which is $4,605,-
316 in comparison with oil cars, in
GLIDING II domestic cars valued at
81. 467, 404, during the same period of
1905. The government exacts a 45
per cent duty on automobiles, and its
revenue from this line of imports
alone in the period noted above is
s1,137,911 greater than during the
corresponding 10 months one year
ago.
! 1t was decided that the govern
ment will lease quarters in convent
| ent locality, where a.. automobiles
may be appraised. Several buildings
were reported as available for the
purpose, but no decision regarding
site was arrived at The action
| taken by the customs officials Is n
line with suggestions made by the
Automobile Club of America, as well
as representatives of the auto import
ing industry. Appraiser Fowler said
he could not at this time say which
site would be selected for the govern
ment garage. AS soon as a building
| has been leased, he said, the fact
would be made public 1t was stated
on authority that SO per cent of all
the automobiles brought to the United
States are entered at New York

NEW SYSTEM OF MAILING.
Business Houses Use Permits in
Place of Stamps.

Business Houses Use Permits in
Place of Stamps.
The business man has been receiv-
ing now and then in his mail for the
last few months circulars, catalogues
and other printed matter with no
stamp on the envelope. In the place
where the stamp usually goes there
is a little inclosed square of printed
matter stating / cent, or cents
paid, Chicago or some other city, and
beneath mat Permit NO. or so, Or
some other number. That shows
one of Uncle Sans new business
methods.
The commercial house, sending out
thousands Of circulars or catalogues
no longer has to stamp each of those
individual pieces. 1t gets from the
postmaster the amount of postage
necessary for each piece of matter
it wishes to send out. has the printer
put the necessary form in type on
the corner OF the envelope and then,
when the matter is presented at the
postoffice, pays the postage in lump
sum, saving thereby all the labor Of
stamping and the possible loss re-
sulting from the falling off of stamps.
The right to mail matter in this
way was given by an act passed in
the spring of 1904, but it is only
within the last year that the act has
been put into practice and within
six months that the custom of send
ing matter without stamps affixed
has come into general use among the
large business concerns throughout
the country. Each postoffice issues
to the comm ercial house that mails
matter in tb s way to a permit with
its own number and that permit is
permanent and unchanging. No
other firm viii ever receive that
number.
Under the law not less than 1000
| identical third or four class pieces OF
matter can be mailed in this way,
Each mailing is accompanied with a
statement from the business class

GLASS THAT WON'T MELT.
Method Of Making Perfect Quartz
Glass Discovered.


Glass Discovered.
A new discovery, which is likely 10
have important practical results, has
been made by Dr. A. L. Day, former
ly of the United States geological
survey. DR.. Day has perfected a
method of making quartz glass"
This is 4 problem on which scientists
have Deen at work for a decade.
Hitherto they have been able to make
the glass, but never without bubbles,
and the bubbles rendered it useless
for most purposes.
The Carnegie Institute came to Dr..
Days rescue and furnished him with
money for expensive apparatus by
which the glass could be subjected to
the enormous pressure of 500 pounds
to the square inch at the very high
temperature of 1000 degrees F. With
this combination the perfect quartz
glass has been produced
The particular qualities which rem
der quartz glass valuable are its
hardness and its resistance to heat.
A slab of this glass may be put In a
safe door and the safe remain as
fireproof as if it were solid steel. Oven
and furnace doors may now be made
with windows.-Redlands Citrograph

Who shall make the echoes ring
Round the genial Christmas hearth:
Hunchback care away shall creep,
With Distrust aa,d Doubt, forsooth,
And the niInble quip shall leap
From the lip of age and youth.
And while Marian, trim of tread,
Sets the candles all aglow,
Slyly DER the maiden's head
One shall hang the mistletoe.
Then it's ''Ha! my lass!" and Hey!
And it's "Ho! by lad" and "Hi!"
