Childermas Day.

Yesterday was known and observed
i'm the church of the ritual as Holy In
nocents or Childermas Day. The day
is observed i'm commemoration of the
children slain by order OF the impious
Herod. II is generally known that the
church commentaries three kinds of
martyrs, each being exempliiied in the
theee days past. First, those who,
like st. Stephen, are martyrs both in
will and in deed. st. Stephens day
was celebrated December 26. This is
the highest kind of martyrdom. See
ond. those who, like st. John, are
martyrs in will, but not in deed. St.
Johns day was December n. Third,
those who are martyrs in deed, but
not in will, as were those innocent
babes, whose day-Holy Innocents-

FREAEISH WEATHER.
The Year 1900 To Maintain It's RECORD
Until The Close

II appears from reports received by
the Weather Bureau that the year 1906.
which entered upon its rounds last
January with freakish meteorological
conditions, viii maintain It's record
TO the last. When Prof. a. J. Horny.
one of the oincial forecastors. was
asked by n reporter yesterday after
noon as To the weather outlook, he
replied;
The outlook is uncertain. Almost
the whole country is covered by an
area of low pressure and conditions
appear 10 be weak and broken. There
is no more cold weather i'm sight
and from present indications the
weather will be warmer for the next
three or four days. The only thing
on the map that appears to be certain
is that We. .will have short period of
warm weather.
some of the attaches of the weather
bureau are enjoying good laugh at
the expense of the long range Pennsyl-
yania forecasters who predicted carly
and often that the week from Christ
mas day TO New Year would find the
middle states, including the District
of Columbia, covered with deep snow,
while all lakes, ponds and rivers
would be frozen TO great depth and
the general conditions would be- de-
oidedly blizzardy.
Old citizens declare their faith In
the venerable adage that green New
Year day means decidedly cold wealth
er throughout February and March
However, IL is said, in view of the
present uncertainty, there may be
turn about by next Tuesday, and the
day may not be green one after all.

BY the time this reaches our readers
Thanksgiving Day will be n memory
and Christmas time will be at hand.
The holiday time is one of especial
interest to Negetarians, for it is then
that we can realize more than ever
how much of cruel wrong and bar
barism we are escaping through our
humane diet.
At Thanksgiving time we can be
truly thankful that we have learned a
better way and that the satisfying OF
our bodily needs is no longer accom-
pilshed at the expense of our kin on
the lower planes. We can give the
day real significance and not make
it mere day for unbridled gluttony.
There is indeed much in life to
be thankful for. The very JOY of life
itself ought to permeate the being OF
each one of us. The whole world
about us is charged with miracles.
Every cell in our bodies is a wonder
that BATTLES science and before which
we may well pause in awe. And

wonderful divine life which is for.

the fact that under the Pure Food Law
it is not permissible to ship meat, etc., /,

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 20. 1T has
at length been decided that radium
must be taxed, the classification TO be
accorded it under the Dingley Tariff
Act is proving difficult problem for
New York Customs officials as the
mysterious product was unknown in
1897, when the tariff act was enacted.
The Board of United States General
Appraisers tried to solve the problem
by charging il al the rate of % per
cent, ad valorem, as n chemical salt,
but the importer objected TO this and
contended that it should be classed
as an unenumerated manufactured ar
ticle at 10 per cent, the highest. Af-
ter consulting many authorities GEN
eral Appraiser Wilbur +. Lunt gives
an opinion as follows: THE mer-
chandise is radium Broide, pitch
blende being the original ore. From
large quantity of pitch blende by an
intricate mechanical and chemical pro-
cess, a very minute quantity of radium
is extracted which is then treated
with bromide, resulting in the product
radium bromide, which we find 10 be
a chemical salt and correctly entered
and assessed as such. The protest is
overruled.'
