A pouBTVUL ExPERIMENT.

The papers are telling us that on Christmas day Jacob Schiff of New York, and the members of the family. presented to Lena, the cook. check for 1000, d cluster diamond ring. gold watch and chain, a seal skin sack, fine clock, an automobile. and a gold framed portrait of Mir. Schiff. That is what we call coming down hand some, but will the result be satisfac- ing to the kitchen to give orders for dinner There sits Lena, enveloped in seal-skin, listening to the ticking of the ormolu clock, gazing fondiy at the diamond ring, or consulting the gold watch, with an occasional glance at the picture.
 Lena" says the mistress, well have tripe for dinner"
 "Thin. begorra." says. Lena, yell cook it yeyself, mum
 Wouldn't that jar the madam? Or perhaps. the mistress gives the order, and is met by the response; Sorry to disapint you. mum. but I'm just afther takin' a sphin on me ortermobaie." That would be another jar, and when Lena draws that seal-skin around her TO- bust form and marches out to deposit her check the other members of the household will stand back and admire the edifying spectacle. It was all very nice of the sehiffs to show such lib eral Christmas spirit. but we art
 doubtful if they have gone the right
 way about keeping cook.

THE cIAp NEW yEAn.

Just when New Yearss Day was first celebrated would be dffhcult to detes- mine. but 1t is pretty oArtain that the day was celebrated in Rome at least as far back as the time of Juliar. tor the old Roman writers speak or the ceremonies and the celebrations of the day in Rome. They offered sacrifiees to their gods, had .aaIemn ?rocossions, feasts and masquerades, gave and re ceived presents and in various ways testified their Joy at the beginning CT another year It was some lime in the fifth century when the 95th day of De- cenber assumed a sacred character as the day of the Nativity. and chen the eighth day thereafter. being the ist of January, began to be observed as the day of the Savior's circumcision As such 1t has ever since held place only second to Christmas. and in all Chris tian countries the day Is observed. not always inf rational or proper way, | it must be admitted. but yet 1t Is one of the days of the year to be kept as ! holiday, and to be regarded as different from the other days of the year
 In our day and time there are many methods of celebrating the day. To | many it is but the beginning of the year, and they look on 1t as proper time to form resolutions. tc visit friends, to be merry and perchance to indulge in frolic and dissipation. oth-
 CTS go to church. and still others go
 about their usual avocations. unless
 the day falls on Sunday. and elect il
 as good time to lay their plans and
 begin the work which shall occupy
 them for the ensuing twelve months
 Let each observe the day in his owr T way. as inclination or opportunity de.
 mands, but all should be thankful tha
 they have been spared to see the day
 and that 1t comes in with such prin
 lse of good to follow.
 And to each and all, Happy New Year.

EXPOSING THE THIEVES.

The Portsmouth Star is authority for this bit of information about certain insurance officials:
 one of the Presidents has rug in his residence which was paid for by the money of the policyholders of the conn., rany. It was bought in the usual bufidinx.s and was charged to the ex- pense account of the company despite the fact that it was sent directly from the store to the residence. There was no pretense even that 1t was g part of sent s SHn ana bifi}p against the company.
 othsr M as shnse 10 sres lne en of te insurance companies who were en- raxed in high finance for the benefit of the. polcyholders. sent coal; house fur plies and rugs to their homes at the expense of the companies. The bills for articles of the household furniture came to the offices of the insurance companies as ''supplies' and were paid for in the usual course of business by the auditors of the companies.
 That is really worse than taking money of the poiicyholders and giving 1t to campaign funds. In the latter case. the officials might make some sort of defense by claiming that the money was used in support of great political principles, but in the cases mentioned by The Star. it was plain stealing for prfvate use. As The Star says in an- other place, these men were guilty 0f petty larceny. We cannot wonder at the squIrming and lodging that has been going on among the officials. nor gre we much surprised that some of them get dewn to plain perjury on the witness stand. A strict construction and enforcement of the criminal laws would put some of them behind the bars, we nave little doubt.
 It was recently announced that ueronae and the Attorney-General of th' Ettate had decided to indlct all the of scfals of some of the companies We do not know. of course, whether such wholesale indictment is pos slbie. or whether convictions would follow, but the effort woulC bring. out lot of information that tn Armstrong Committee has been unabl tc get.

Henry M. whitney the eminent busi- ness man of Boston, has declined re- election as President of the Chamber of Commerce that he may devote his time to advancing the cause of rect- procity, which his own State of Massa- chusetts indorses, and which he hopes to bring into popularity in other New England States sThe Pittsburg Post thinks 1t Is quite likely that before many moons have waxed and waned Mir. Roosevelt will regret that he as- sailed a man of such standing as MT. whitney about a verified White House conversation. for 1t Is evident that the revenge for the unprovoked aspersions the President visited upon him he will calmly seek by arousing public senti- ment more strongly in favor of recip- rocal trade The Turks have an adage that curses. like chickens. come home | to roost"
