SAVED OLD LADYS HAIR

"My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding Of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
"My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun
ham, Hiram, Me-, Sept. 30. 1909"

Tribute to Painters Skill.

One Of the still life paintings by
Jan van HNysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
it is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents basket of
fruit on which a number Of insects
have gathered. On pale yellow ap-
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster Of fruit, is a large fly, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
Of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeavored
to "shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "a
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, 'for which
the work had to suffer"

How December rs Was
Chosen

How many people know why Christ
mas came to fall On December 25?
Everybody knows that it Is the day
celebrated alike by the Catholic, Prot
estant and Greek churches as the ma
tivity of Christ, yet nobody knows il
it is the actual date.
The uncertainty is due to the preju-
dice of early Christians against the
celebrations of birthdays. They re-
garded such a custom as heathenish
and made no exception, even to the
Savior's birthday.
It was not until Christianity had
triumphed, three centuries later, that
the prejudice against the observance
of birthdays died out, and an investi-
cation as to the date of Christ's birth
day was begun.
Julius, pope or bishop OF Rome,
asked ST. Cyril in 1886 to ascertain the
real anniversary of the nativity. St.
Cyril reported the date to be Decem-
Der Is, to the best of his knowledge,
after extensive research, and the date
was accepted by julius and promul-
gated as the anniversary of Christ's
birth. Before the end Of the fifth CEN
fury the date was accepted by all
Christendom.
January 6, April 20, March 20 and
March 29 are some of the dates that
were serious contenders for the dis
tinctiOn before December Is received
the seal of julius approval.
Even after the date was generally
accepted by all Christian nations the
holiday had its struggles. The Eng.
fish roundhead parliament Of 1919
abolished Christmas and for IL years
it was not observed in England. Roy.
atty gained the ascendency, however,
and Christmas was established as
national holiday.
Governor Bradford of Plymouth, In
162l, history says, had occasion to re.
buke some young men who had come
over in the ship Fortune, following in
the trail of the Maytlower, because
their consciences would not allow
them to work on Christmas, with their
sterner Puritan brothers.
IN 1869 the general court OF Massa
chusetts passed law fixing a fine Of
five snillings against anyone who
should by abstinence from labor, feast
ing or any other method, observe
Christmas.

HOLLY SUPERSTITIONS

It Is unlucky to bring holly or ivy
into the house before Christmas eve
anG unlucky to take it out before
Candlemas, or to put any Christmas
decorations into the fire. Herrick,
however, says that they should be
burnt. but not until Candlemas eve,
and the Christmas brand should be
quenched and laid by till next year.
This same brand Devonshire folk Of
today prefer to burn out, in spite of
Herrick; but instead Of an oak log 1t
is an ashen faggot-a sheaf Of ash
twigs bound round with five or ten
strands of straw. AS each strand
burns through the guests who sit

Russia's Growing Population.

the population as enumerated in 1908.
The czar's subjects now number 160,-

100000 despite wars, epidemics and
internal disturbances. AS there Is no
lack Of cultivated soil in Russia there
seems no reason why this big annual

PEARY WANTS MISSIONARIES
KEPT AWAY FROM HIS
ESkIM0S.

In a measure Lieut.. Peary sustainsI
the contention of Tom Watson that
Christian missionaries are not an un-
mixed blessing TO the people among
whom they are sent Their efforts to
change the manners of life of the peo-
PIE to whom they are ministering, to
introduce what we are pleased TO
term civilization" and to upset con-
ditions that are based on centuries of
experience, are declared by Peary to be
frequently fraught with evil and per-
nicious results. The discoverer of
the North Pole expresses the ardent
hope that the missionaries will keep
away from his Eskimos," and leave
them to live as they and their ances-
tors have done for many centuries,
morals, uncleanliness and everything
else unaffected and undisturbed by
modern thought. Here is Peary's idea,
which viii doubtless be quickly ap-
propriated by the statesman of Thorn

the missionary question:
