a NEW YEAR SENTIMENT.

When in the cycles ofrecurring years,
With all they bring Of mingled hopes and
fears
These feeting cycles bring the New Year
How ofit the mind to reyery gives wayY
And hopes bright visions rise up in the
heart is
To bid all gloomy forbodings depart.
We greet with glad acclaim the vista new,
Yet turn again, in mem'rv. to review
The Yeas gone by; and ponder all the
In which we walked in those departed
days.
How like the hours that swiftly pass away
To what is seen on some bright summer
day
A feecy. flying cloud obscures the sun. =.
Ger woods and fields the feeting shad ows
run,
But when the transient shadow passes DER
The world seems brighter than it was be-
fore
So oft times in our lives, when shadows
drear
Have come and gone they leave brighter
cheer,
And backward gazing we can always feel
The woe IL small In contrast with the veal
Then in our hearts ideals come to view,
Leading to noble aspirations new:
That we may better serve our fellow men.
With kinder deeds. or sympathetic vein
And know in truth that this sin-laden
earth
Hath in some way been bette by our
birth.

Was Tapped l82 Times on Christi,
mas Morning ia short Hills.
The removing of the 1000 pound
bell to the tower of the new church Of
ST. Rose of Lima in Short Hills was
finished Christmas morning. The
bell was tapped 1872 times. The
reason for sounding the bell so often
is, according to Rev. James IT, Brown,
pastor of ST. Resets church, because it
is 1872 years ago, l777, since the first
catholics, six in number, settled in
Springfield, which is in st. Rose of
Llma's parish. These catholics we're
driven from San Domingo by an up
rising of the negroes at the time OF
the American revolution. The bell
was the gift of Miss Kate Brown, of
New York city.
Three new marble affairs and mar
BILE altar rail will 5000 be unveiled 10
the new church, which is at present
approaching completion.
From present appearances St. Roses
will be one Of the finest churches ia
this section OF New Jersey The tower
of the church, rooted artisUically fn
green and red slate, is eliciting many
comments from patrons Of the Lacka
wanna, who can see it as they pass 90

Hills
Father Brown was formerly the pas
tor Of ST. Virglllus' church at Morris
Plains.

one of Leopold's agents would slice off
an ear or amputate finger from the
luckless negro. Many thousands of
the natives were slaughtered ruthless
ly during the years in which Leopold
enriched himself by making the help

In these last years." writes Mr..
Stead, .'the Internal imposture was ex-
posed, and Leopold was compelled to
hand over the Kongo empire to the
Belgian government and now in his
last days, when he is dying at the age
of seventy-four, his reflections are sad
and bitter. He has sold off his treas

now at last the journalistic death

Stead's vigorous language is mild
compared to some that has been EN-
ployed in reference to King Leopold
and his misrule of the Kongo. 1t
cannot be denied that old Leopold,
who is supposed to have extracted an
unusual amount of fun out Of life,
has. been for years the most despised
person in Europe, and yet in his own
country he Is said to be fairly popular.
Leopold has done much travelling In
Europe. His own country has been
entirely too small to contain the king
when he was looking for pleasure.
Paris knows him as one Of the gayest
old bloods that ever came down the

SOME idea OF the size OF the postal
service2cf the United States and the
magnitude of its business can be
gained from brief review of the sail
ent facts disclosed by the postmaster
generals annual report. These figures
show that the service now has about
$4,000 employees and that they han
died during the last fiscal year nearly
14.000,000, 900 pieces Of mail The
number of postotfices in operation is
60,144. There are 26,652 domestic
transportation routes, aggregating
44S,6l8 miles in length, with an an
nual travel Of 542, ISL, l2l miles. A de-
livery service by carrier is provided on
40,62S rural routes and in LAO cities
and towns. Ordinary postage stamps
to the number of S,7l2,9O7, O31 were
sold during the year and domestic
money orders to the value of $49l ,074,l
S44 were issued. The total receipts
for the fiscal year 1909 were $203, esq.,
3S3.O7, an increase Of 6.31 per cent.
over the receipts of the previous year.
The total expenditure amounted to
1921, 0o4, l02.S9, an increase Of 6.07 per
cent. When the present postal ad-
ministration entered on the discharge
OF its duties last March it was con
fronted with the largest deficit In the
history ct the department. The ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
the fiscal year 1909 proved to be ST.
AL, 1882. To this sum should be add
ed postal funds lost by fire, burglary,
etc, to the amount of $3S, 1850. IS, max
ing a total deficit of SIT ,479, no. AT.
Recent Investigations have shown
that the two great sources of loss to
the postal revenues are socond-cla
mail matter and rural delivery. The
loss on second-class mail matter has
been increasing for many years, until
now IL amounts to S64,0O0,0OO. The
loss from rural delivery, service be-
gun hardly dozen years ago and or
unprecedented growth, reaches as high
as S2S,O00,OC

nRINCE ALBERT LEOPOLD
- CLEMENT MARIA MEM
RAD, who will succeed Leopold
ii. as king of Belgium, really
doesn't need the job of monarchy, for
he is a skillful machinist and could
earn journeyman wages at the trade
any day. From his boyhood the prince
has made hobby of machinery. He
has a workshop in which he amuses
himself by building motors, airships
and other machines. He can take an
automobile to pieces and put it to-
gether. s sa
Prince Albert is reputed to be also
deep student Of books. He has WIS.,
