A Friendship CALENDAR.

A friendship calendar as a Christmas
gift was a source of much pleasure to
an elderly lady living alone, says Good
Housekeeping. At her request each one
OF hfty-two of her friends, representing
the htty-two weeks of the year, furnish
ed material for every day of the seven
IN his week. Each one followed out his
own idea for the weeks calendar, con-
%trlbuting favorite quotations, short
poems, anecdotes and "reminiscences,
some even adding cherished recipes. In
many instances the contributions were
original. Others We're illustrated with
small pictures cut from current maya
zines. The result was a perpetual cal
endar, each day representing the loving
thought of a friend.

%stroyers, repair and supply ships. The
progress OF the fleet will be watched
with interest by the whole world, and
will be accompanied by the prayer that
no occasion may arise TOR a display of
that awful power of destruction which
lies within its guns.
The Significance of the transfer of
the b%attleships stamps the event as an
epoch in the history OF the United
States. It transfeds the theater of ac-
ton of the navy from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Ocean for the first time since
the United States became a nation. 1t
reduces the naval representation of the
country in the Atlantic from second
place to the lowest place among the
naval powers of the world, but it raises
it's representation in the Pacific ocean
to the highest place, where the United
States is new a poor second. Whether
"for fun or for %frolic," as Rear Ad-
miral Robley Evans has expressed it,
the b~attleships upon arrival in the Pa
cific win do the United States full
honor.

Two young women of st. Louis recent
ly discovered By accident that it was moi
necessary to place the lips near the trans
mitter of a telephone to be heard at the
other end of the wire, provided the trans
mitter were placed firmly against tbs
chest or even other parts of the body.
The advantages claimed for the new sys-
TEN are that it is germ-proofs and nom
f%atiguing. Prof. Calvin NJ. Woodwaf i'd,
one of the scientists at Washington uni
-versity, explained that there was nothing
new in the principle, but admitted he had
never before thought Of its application to
the telephone. He said the sound vibra-
ton in the lungs is communicated through
the chest instead of through the lips, and
then carried over the wire in the usual
way. The system, he said, is in accord
ance with the principle of the physicians

can Copper n. Mude,

That the recent experiments of Sin
William Ramsay, the English chemist. are
not likely to result in the artificial man
ufacture of copper is the conclusion Of
President Ira Remsen, who recently made
an address on the subject before the Sci
entifc Association of the Johns Hopkins
university at Baltimore. I1r. Remsen
said hat the experiments in question
indicated that the substance we call cop
per, n which we have hitherto regarded
as a stable elementary form Of matter Is
capable of undergoing a very slight de-
composition, but while it is possible that
a minute quantity of the element lithium
can be obtained from copper by the ac-
ton of radium %emanation. the change il
very slight, and it does not seem proba-
Bile hat any method can be devised by
which it can be markedly increased.

The idea of going after the causes OF
poverty, instead of dealing with effects.
was championed by Gov. Hughes in a no.
table speech at the recent silver jubilee
of the New York Charities Organization
Society. He said, in part This society
is the true agent of democracy, seeking
not merely to apply balm to the bruises
OF life, but to eliminate the causes of
unnecessary injury. We cannot but re-
alize that a large portion Of our brethren
are the helpless victims of an environment
from which they cannot escape, and
through which they are destined to ply
steal misery, moral impoverishment and
economic ineficiency. 1t is our duty pa
tiently to consider what can be done, NOT
merely to afford temporary relief tol i'm
mediate sufferers, but to change the I'M
proper environment and promote a health
icl life" He went on to enumerate the
conditions desirable. and said that the
number of p~reventable casualties to work.
uen is a disgrace to the country.

Adam. Pleads nm Abb.

Steve Adams, the Western Federation
miner on trial at Rathdrum, Idaho, on
the charge of murder, took the stand by
direction of his counsel, Clarence Oar
row, and set up an alibi by saying he
was never in the Marble Greek country
after a date prior to the dynamiting Of
the cabins there. The first he knew OF
that was in the cell with Orchard at
Boise in 1906. Adams testified that
while in that cell beth Warden Whitney
and Detective Mcfarland had told him he
would be all right" if he would corrobo~
rate Orchards confession duplicating fed
Grafton officials. The statement then
made by Adams, but which 1ie later re.

The Romans use Holly

1t should prove of immense interest to
students of history that the early Romans
had a festival at about the time of our
Christmas and that they fcstooned their
houses with holly in honor of the god
Saturn. This was called the %Saturnalia,
and the character of the celebration may
be judged from the fact that the name is
still the synonym for %carousal and imnor.
atty. At this time the Romans sent their
friends sprigs of holly. thus indicating
their good wishes for prosperity aud long
life. 1t is related that the early Chris
tians also decked their homes with holly
at this season for the purpose Of escaping
nnrsecutiOn.

New Year RESOLUTIONS.

Every first of January that we arrive
at is IN imaginary milestone in the
turnpike track Of human life, ut once
a resting place for thought and medita-
ton and q starting point for fresh exer,
ton in the performance of our journey.
The man who does not at least pro-
pose to himself to be better this year
than he was last must be either very
good or very bad indeed. And only to
propose to be better is something. If
nothing else it is an Acknowledgements
of our need to be so which is the FIRST
step toward amendment.
But, in fact, to propose to oneself to
do well is in some sort to do well posi-
lively. for there is no such thing as Il
stationary point in human endeavors.
He who is not worse to-day than he was
yesterday is better. AID he who is not
better is worse.-Charies Lamb d. suf.
