INFANTlLE PARALYSIS.
The Newest Medical Golconda

The inf2zstf1e paralysis scare which has been so systematically worked up and kept alive the past few weeks by certain physicians has caused more conflicting Ideas and reversals of opin ion among doctors in general than any epidemic of fear that has been started in long time. The only thing that it can be compared with is the "crime wave" that a municipal police depart ment stirs up when an enlarged ap- propriation or new laws giving it more despotic power are needed. On such occasions some ordinary crime is flea tured" and covered with a mantle of mystery The police discover new and more sensational clues hourly and this goes on until the purpose back of it all is achieved. Then the alarming spectres fade away and are forgot ten.
 Infantile paralysis is not a new bugbear although it has been widely heralded as the most modern of mys- terious diseases As a matter of fact it was known and commented upon by doctors thirty or forty years ago. No one worried about it very much until lately. As money maker for the medical profession it has entirely eclipsed pellagra or the hookworm.

DO NOT FORGET THE sHUT-INs.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
 The Christmas candy letters have been a revelation and a help to the writers
 and readers of this Corner, and we ought never to lack for practical knowledge of candy making. There is no season of the year when we discover our money limitations as we do in the holidays when we feel prompted to do so much and are by circumstances compelled to do so lit tie. We should like to spread broad cast the pleasing gifts and evidences of our good will
 All through this holiday season I carry with me the thought that it is the shut-ins who are most lonely and feel depressing spirit unless friends lovingly remember them. I hope none of them are forgotten.
 Now let our Christmas be a happy
 and beautiful one. Fathers and moth
 CTS should tell their children what Christmas means and repeat the story
 of the Babe of Bethlehem. who when
 He grew to be man gave His whole life for the salvation of others: that He loved little children and was mindful of the poor, and was the great gift of God to His wayWard children who needed 8 Redeemer.
 I wish the editor and all readers of the Corner Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. FRANK. MoOsup.

RECIPE FOR GINGERBREAD
 HORSES.

Of all the holiday cakes none is us ualy more pleasing to the children than the old-fashioned gingerbread horses made just as our grandmothers made them years ago. All sorts of animals the birds and beasts that went to the animal fair" may be evolved in the same way if one has 9 little ingenuity. If you cannot get the tin cutters, cut the desired shapes out of pastebOard. lay on the dough after it is rolled to the proper thickness and then cut out by running a pastry wheel or sharp knife through the dough. Here is the recipe for the dough that has stood the test of a century: Put two cupfuls of molasses and a cupful of softened butter into a bowl and beat until well blended. Add d cupful of sour milk. stir it in well, then dissolve a level tablespoonful of baking soda in a quarter of a cupful of hot water
 and stir it through the mixture. Add a tablespoonful of cloves, ginger to taste and the grated rind of g. lemon, and stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Roll out on the molding board very thin, cut out the shapes, put iu a Wcll-ioured dripping pan and bake in q moderate oven, When done and still a little warm, frost lightly
 having some of the frosting white and some pink.-1he Designer for January.

Lenal Errors.

One hundred and one reasons why Doctor Hyde should have a new trial are assigned by his attorneys at law in their brief on appeal to the supreme court This number of charges of CT TOT by the trial judge appears to be a-plenty, but they constitute only d small fraction of the errors charged by the same attorneys when the case was on trial before the jury.
 It is probable that in one assignment of mistakes by the judge, now present ed in the brief, any number of indl- vidual exceptions are Jumped" For example, a statement that ''the court erred in the admission of testimony may represent 10000 specific occasions in which the progress of the trial was interrupted by the objection that the question or answer was incompetent, irrelevant and in1material," or that something else was wrong with it.
 As some sensible commentator has said, "a criminal court judge in Amer ica is an arbiter between contentious counsel, instead of judge between an accused person and society,"" The va lidity of that characterization helps to explain why the judicial processes in America are regarded with very gener- al sfaction.-Kansas City Times.

Unusually Tight Water Pipe.

Tn connection with the new Spring field water supply, for which Hazen and Whipple were engineers, was a crossing of the Connecticut river. A 42inch pipe conveys the water to the Connecticut river, where the line is divided into two lines of 30-inch steel lock bar pipe, each 716 inch thick. These lines of pipes are placed 30 feet apart on centerS, this unusual distance being provided so that leak Jr acci- dent in one would be less likely to endanger the other. The pipes were riveted and calked tightly on shore in lengths of about 300 feet, being formed to fit accura tely the contour of the river bottom, and were then sunk between double rows of piles until they rested upon cross timbers bolted to the piles. The different lengths were bolted to- gether by extra heavy hanges, between each pair of which was placed a mar row lead gaslzet. The pipes were thea surrounded by concrete througk@ssg their length, the concrete beIng placeN in bags. The under water length Qf 1zese lines is about 300 feet, and tSs pipes extend from either side so as to make a total length of about 1,150 feet The greatest depth is 22 feet at low water, and the top of the pipe is three feet or more below the bed of the river.
 The pipes were laid by the T. A. Scott company of New London, Conn.,, under an agreement by which the com pany guaranteed that the amount of leakage would not exceed 150 gallons an hour on each line, and if the leak age exceeded 750 gallons an hour the whole work would be subject to rejec- tion. It was also provided that the contractors should receive a bonus of $1O for every gallon by which the leak age was under 150 gallons on each line. One of these lines was tested some time ago and showed a leakage of only 11.S gallons per hour. The other line was tested Nov. 30 and the leakage was found to amount to ST gallons on hour
 more than gallons of which came from wooden insulation joints at the two ends. The bonus on both lines was consequently $2,975. The line was tested at a pressure of 15O pounds, the normal pressure of the Little River sys- tenn which will pass through it in service It is said that the contractors. l in order to secure this unusual tight ness, went to an extra expense for this | purpose alone which fully equaled the l bonus received.-Municipal Journal Of | Engineers.

" THE SMILING HABIT"

Editor Social Corner: Do all the members of the Social Corner get up mornings with cheerful countenances, and greet the family gathered at the brealfast-table with bright smiles?
 Alas, such had not been my daily custom. 1 had always been obliged to get up long before my last nap was finished and while dressing and get ting breakfast started. my face, I am sure, expressed my inner feelings only too well.
 One morning, on the way to the din- ingroom, I happened to see myself in the kitchen mirror. The reflection was far from pleasing. I looked posi- lively forbidding! There were ugly wrinkles in my forehead, a most de- cided downward curve to my mouth, and a sour, grabbed expression over my whole face.
 It was a revelation to me, and after breakfast I took time to consider what my habitual morning expression" would surely lead to. l decided that if I cintinued much longer in this way, it would take more than "Pompeiian" to eradicate those wrinkles, or bring back a pleasant-looking face.
 The next morning I took myself in hands. "Smile!" was to be my motto
 Accordingly on arising, I forced my doWnwardly-inc mouth to re- verse it's curves. It was hard but I was firm. Then, as I stood before the HlIfOT, cOlnDlLS my ldIf, l HlduS my self smile for at least five minutes. I practiced these morning smiling gymnastics' for a week, and came to the conclusion that one could smile on first getting up, after all
 After that length of time, it wasn't quite so hard Gradually it came about that just having the mouth in a smiling position made things look ten times more cheerful in the morn ing.
 When I took my place behind the coffee pot, it seemed quite natural to pass the cups with a cheery smile. Someone will say, Dit it pay? Could you keep it up?' To these questions l would most emphatically say, Yes"
 To begin with it brought me into a better state of mind in which to take up my days work. Then, as to my i expression-well, just ask my husband and the boys if they zee any difference. From sly remarks let drop by them, 1 haven't the slightest doubt on that ] subject
 Can keep it up?" Most certainly, for I'm fast getting the habit Won's someone use Get it'' with me? MARY WAY. Aoruyich

Evolution of China.

Within the new year about to open the empire of China will pass under the regime of constitutional govern ment. This seems to be assured by the reported accedence of the throne to the prayer of the imperial senate. Should this prospect become realized twill be the final step in the alignment of this ancient absolutism with the progress of modern ideas in government.
 The rapidity with which this change has been brought about is unprece- dented It is hardly more than a year since the first provincial assemblies were established; the first imperial sen ate met last October, and at that time the establishment of general repre- sentative legislative body was decreed to take place after q. period of nine years.
 These dates have been speedily ad- vanced, until now it is resolved to re- lieve the regent, Prince Chun. of tho absolute power pertaining to his po- sition and make the country con stitutional monarchy forthwith.-Bos- ton Post

AMERICAS cHRIsTMAsTIDE.

Editor Social Corner: As each one is busy at this time making gifts to those we love and those we may nelp, do we realize that this Christmastide legacy was bequeathed to us from other lands and preserved by our fore fathers ill our borders? Can we real ize that in no other country today do they keep the commandment given by Him of whose birthday we celebrate of loving one another" as in "our own beloved America?
 Other countries boast of their mag nifieent castles, great cathedrals and beautiful palaces: but we of America do boast of the genuine good will that is shown forth in our own and other lands. We boast of the joy that our children enjOy-the gifts given to them that it is more blessed to give than receive; and that it is joy unspeak- able" May each generation still con- tinue to bestoW this legacy to those following. that this beautiful peace and good wilT' may never cease on our shores; and ever remember that castles, cathedrals and palaces crum- bIe to dust, but good deeds shine as the stars of heaven forever and for ever" AMERICA.

HOME CANDY MAKING.

Editor Social Corner: l will send a few receipts of Christmas candy to
 the Social Corner, hoping they will
 help some one in their candy making.
 Stick Candy-Take three cups gran
 ulated sugar and add one cup water;
 let boil three minutes slowly, and add
 one-haIf teaspoon cream tartar, fla
 vor to taste. Boil to the crack
 without stirring. Take from the stove,
 pour into buttered pan to cool As
 soon as it can be handled pull it until
 it is white, porous and elastic. Have
 ready the kneading board and lay the
 candy on it. stretched to the required
 thickness. Cut by giving a quick blow
 with @ knife; this will leave the candy
 porous. This candy may be used to
 make candy canes, so much desired
 by the children, by simply taking part
 of it and coloring it red. green or any desired cOlOriug. The candy
 should be cOlored just as it leaves the
 stove, each color being put in a sep
 arate dish. When pulling have one per son to each color, else one color will l be cold before the combining color is ready. When candy is pulled enough ! it is an easy matter to twist the two colors together and form canes any size desired, Let them stay on perfectly flat surface until cold.
 Hickory Nut Macaroons-Beat the whites of two eggs to a froth, add slowly one cup of pulverized sugar and one cup of nuts, chopped fine: mix thoroughly and drop on buttered tins. Bake slowly.
 Popcorn 6aIIs-BoiI together two | cups granuIated sugar, four table 1 spoons vinegar butter size of a wal nut, and half a cup of water. When the syrup drops from the spoon like wax, 1t is of right consistency Have a pan of freshly popped corn and pour the wax over the corn, stirring it with
 a large spoon to thoroughly mix a bit ] of it to every flake. Flour the hand, and while hot press tightly into balls. | The corn will not stick when cool 1 Tinted balls may be made by using l fruit paste coloring in the syrup. Will l send a Merry Christmas and a Happy 1 New Year to all

HOM E HELPS.

Editor Social Corner: I have been looking for some Columbia reader to write but so far have looked in vain so now I'll lead the way and try to give 8 few helpful hints. Here is a
 Dried Apple Pudding that some may like: One-haf cup dried apples, wash cover; in the morning put in one cup molasses and boil gently for about one hour; then add One-half teaspoon gin ger, pinch of salt, a slice of fat pork cut into small pieces, one cup warm water one teaspoon soda flour to make batter as for fruit cake. put in greased basin and steam two hours A cupful of raisins will improve it. but are not necessary. May be eaten with any kind of sauce We like this one:
 One teaspoon boiled cider jelly dis solved in one pint of hot water; add a pinch of salt, a grating of nutmeg, three fOurths cup of sugar and corn starch to thicken.
 How many use the pretty pictures from last years calendars for cut up puzzles? They can be made either easy or difficult and serve very nicely to amuse the children.
 For the benefit of the mothers whose babies will throw off the clothes these cold nights, and so chill the chest and arms, l give my method of prevention. Take Q crib blanket or quilt. put around the baby's neck and pin in the back with a stout safety pin. Then put the baby in bed. spread the blanket out smoothly and tuck each end under the sides of the mattress. being careful not to draw 1t so tightly that the child cannot turn with perfect ease. Now

Reforming the Calendar.

Professor Chamberlin of the Uni versity of Chicago has invented a new calendar. It is a beautifully symmet- rical affair with F months of 2S days each. Every quarter there is an extra week for such holidays as Easter, Fourth of July, Harvest Home, and Christmas and for attending to such practical bushess matters as closing books, declaring dividends, making re- ports, holding corporation meetings, and the like. Both New Years day and leap year are also nicely attended to.
 The above is a pleasant and ingeni- ous invention. It might work out very well if it could only be got going. It will be adopted about the time that people take up the duodecimal system of notation at the Greek calends-that is to say never. Interest in it must remain largely academic.
 But the world is often ready to ap- preciate a minor benefactor when it fails of gratitude to major one. Pro- lessor Chamberlin would be sure Of thanks all around if he would merely give the world a February of 30 days and lest the rest go. He might take a day each from January and March Chicago Record H erald.

MORE CANDY RECIPES.

Editor Social Corner: Having had good success in making candy I send following recipes:
 Chocolate Creams-Take the white of one egg and two tablespoons of cold water; into this stir about one pound of COnfectioners' sugar; knead as you would bread this is called fondant): mould same into shape and place on waXed paper to harden for an hour or two. Melt four squares of unSweetened chocolate in a bowl and melt by placing over the steam of a tea kettle: after it is melted place bowl in a dish of boil ing water to keep the chocolate from hardening. Take the creams one by one and dip into chocolate, turning them until covered, then place on wax ed paper.
 To vary. take a piece of fondant and press the half of an English walnut in- to it. This could also be dipped into the melted chocolate if desired: good either way.
 Remove the pit from dates and fill the cavities with the fondant. For the above I generally flavor to taste with vanilla, by using the fondant and f1avoring with peppermint or winter green we have two kinds of drops as they are called.
 Fudge of Various kinds-Two cups butter size of a walnut and two squares of unsweetened chocolate; boil until it will form q soft ball when
