Uncle Remus's -The Home Maya
zine for December.

Redolent of Christmas is Uncle Remus' s
The Home Magazine for December, and
overlooking with good cheer. The cover
design, by Alice Beach Winter, shows
charming little boy with huge black
stocking-evidently his mothers or big
sister shat is full to the brim with
small toys and sweetmeats. There is a
smile of ineffable happiness on the
youngsters face; a smile which proves
beyond the shadow of doubt that there
is Santa Claus who loves and rewards
the good boys and girls of every land.
Joel Chandler Harris's beautiful edi-
torial-essay, Santa Claus and the
Fairies,' is an earnest plea in behalf Of
childhood's patron saint, and stirring
criticism of modernism that would at
tempt to deaden the glorious glamor
that surrounds Saint Nicholas and his
nocturnal visits at Christmas time. Mr..
Harris's love of children was SO strong
that it was a marked characteristic, and
in this editorial-essay he conveys his
utter disapproval of any idea seeking to
overthrow childhood's faith in Santa
Claus.

Some of these illustrations are startling,
almost alarming enough to intimidate a
less brave man than President Roosevelt
from counting the terrors and dangers of
African wilds. The first of these articles
appears in the December issue and will
continue in succeeding numbers.

Says an Exchange.
A good county road is always to
be desired and is source of comfort
and convenience to every traveller.
Good roads attract population, lis
well AS good schools and churches
Good roads improve the value of the

lying five miles from market, con-
nected by Il bad road is OF less value
than an equally good farm lying ten
miles away from market connected
by IA good road, A larger load can
be drawn by one horse over IL good
than by two over a bad one. Good
roads encourage the grea ter exchange
OF products and commodities between
one section and another.

be incurabe. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it u local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional treatment.

Although the subject of mountain
sickness has been carefully studied at
different times, and reported upon by
skilled observers, the effects of pro-
longed residence in high localities
have not received the same attention
from scientists. 1t is taken for
granted by most writer's that after a
certain length of time a healthy man
can adapt himself perfectly to any
degree of altitude. Medical practi-

Albany, n. Y. Feb 1.-Prof. Lewis
Boss Of the Dudley observatory, which
is supported by the Carnegie fund,
announces that he has disproved the
theory that there are two streams Of
stars moving in opposite directions,
which theory was recently promul-
gated by II. Kapteyn, a famous Dutch
astronomer, and generally accepted
by astronomers.
The Dudley observatory is the only
one i'm the world engaged i'm the
same work as that in which Prof.
Kayteyn is engaged, and Is mapping
all the stars visible TO the naked eye
and recording their movements as
nearly as possible. While the work
has been going on only year and
much more remains TO be done,
Prof. Boss and his assistants say they
have gone far enough to be able 10
positively prove that Kapteyn's the
ory Is untenable. They believe that
the mistake was due to the made
quacy OF the Dutch professors equip
ment.
