THE SPIRIT OF THE GIVER.

The chief question now with ev-
eryone is what shall l give him or
her for a Christmas present.
The giving of presents is a good
thing and should be encouraged,
that is, when it is done in the right
spirit. True gifts are tokens of love.
And when they are given in that
spirit they weld the ties of friend
ship.
But there Is a custom which has
grown up in giving which is close
akin to barter. This is the spirit
of "Pll give you this if you'll give
ME that" This is deplOrable. 1t
makes giving a humbug and sham.
AS result of it. if you receive pres
ent today the logical consequence is
that you must return the favor with
some article equal in cost. The true
giver gives for loves sake and expects
nothing in return.
The gifts which are never forgot
ten are the ones given in the true
spirit of fond remembrance.

Chinatown in Columbia

Among other signs of progress in
Columbia is the acquiring of a dis
tIict on South Seventh street known
as Chinatown. Here may be found
all the Chinese that work in the
town, exclusive of the students in the
University. A green shop front with

visitor. If he expects to see the ORR
entails in their native habits, he will
be disappointed, for these men have

they have become Americanized.
On stepping into Chinatown one
cannot go far before running into a
table on which shirts are being ironed
as quickly as Yee Sing can do them
At left and right are other tables and

is the laundry run by Yee Sing, three

thought at the time that the hOld-up

who were injured by the presence of
Chinese laundry. Wah did not
leave on that account, but because
the immigration officers got after
him.
All the Chinese now in the laundry
are old-timers in America.

In the laundry are few things that
speak of China. An account book
covered with queer characters is seen
as soon as the door is entered, but
apart from this all is truly American
except the workers themselves.

LETTER TO CHINA FOR 2 CENTS

Postage Rates to Many Foreign Coun.
tries Same as Domestic.
Years ago when the United States
Post Office Department was young
postage on a letter was determined
by the distance that it had to travel.
Distance however has largely been
overcome now. So far as mail rates
are concerned it is out of the ques-
ton. A 2-cent stamp will take let
ter today to McBaine or Shanghai,
China; either place you please. 1t
costs the same.
The question of foreign mail rates,
ordinarily of little importance to the
average citizen is different at Christ
mas time. BY a series of internat-
iCnal treaties it is now possible to
send mail to many foreign countries
"a the same rate as domestic mail.
First-class, Including written matter
and matter closed against inspec-
tion. can be sent at the rate of 2
cents an ounce to any post office in
the United States or any of it's posses
sions. as Hawaii and the Philippines.
Domestic rates also apply to mail
sent from the United States to Cana
Ga, Cuba, Mexico, the Republic of
Panama and the United States postal
agency in Shanghai, China. The
same rate in regard to first-class mail
applies for letters sent to England,
Scotland, Ireland Wales and also for
Germany when sent by steamers sail
ing for Germany direct.
BY the Parcels Post packages con-
tanning merchandise may be sent to a
large number of foreign countries at
the rate of IL cents pound and each
fraction thereof. Among the coun-
tries which have the Parcels Post are
England. Germany France, Austria
and Denmark.
Packages. containing saleable mer-
cLandise or gifts. cannot be sent at
the sample merchandise rate of
cent for two ounces. They may be
sent, sealed, at the regular letter rate
OF cents an ounce or for the coun-
tries already mentioned they can be
sent at the domestic rate of two
cents an ounce. Any package, sealed

mail or Parcels Post is subject to in

erwise spotless name-diverce scan
dals always leave blots. Nine. Curie
may have been sincere, honest with
herself, but the fact remains that she
received attentions from another wo-
mans husband. In the eyes of many
people that constitutes an unpardon-
able sin. Regardless of what expla-
nations follow, she can never regain
the complete esteem in which she
was held by the world.
For the good name of science it
would have been better had Nine.
Curie remained faithful to her labor
a.ory. Love is the most dangerous
chemical that exists. 1t is far more
powerful than radium. Love has set
armies moving to the attack. has
hurled navies crashing together. has
wrecked empires and changed the
course of history Radium is a play
thing compared to it,
1t matters not who the "other wo-
nan" was. The man belonged to her
he was her husband. For that rea-
son she feels justified, doubtless, in
publishing a number of love letters
that, written under different circum-
stances, would not taint the fairest
name. The experience in loves lab
oratory must be considered, from the
worlds standpoint. as failure. Nine.
Curie may consider herself superior
to such views. At least. the affair is
enc that calls more for deep regret
than an Outburst of mirth.

THINK MORE. WORK LESS.

A young man spent eight hours ev-
cry day in an eastern factory sim
ply feeding raw material into a ma.
chine. Wearying of his task. he de-
vised a set of pulleys and belts to
do the work for him. He did like
wise no matter where he worked. To-
day he is one of the leaders of indus
try.
Recently this man compiled Stats
tics to show that, while labor is 60
per cent efficient, capitals efficiency is
only about 80 per cent. While he
was feeding raw material into that
machine his labor was efficient, but
the capital which kept him at it was
not.
This is true to large extent of all
industries. Yet the statement made
by Louis D. Brandeis that American
railroads could save 100000, 900 a
year is startling.
The world needs more of these
men who are always looking for a
simpler way of doing things.

81 Remember

Il remember a little adventure
had in wartime in sixty-three," said
William Woodson, who now lives at
All South Fifth street. 81 was only
boy then. One day my mother
gave me a supply of butter and eggs
and sent me with an old horse and
buggy to Columbia eight miles
straight west of my home.
when | came to Columbia, tied
My horse to a sapling. inspected a
blockhouse of oak logs that stood
right in the center of Broadway
where Eighth street crosses it, and

the war. Then | took my butter and
eggs and went to James l.. Stephens

about eighty, tied to the fence on

what it could mean. My wonder was
soon satisfied. Four men jumped

cried:

PUBLIC OPINION AND PEACE.

THE voice of the people il thS
voice of God" will become a guiding
principle of all nations not far from
today, if people are educated to work
for the advancement of humanity. 1t
means the voice of the most civilized
people-not that of those who re-
garded slave trade as a divine mis-
sion, the sale of opium as a CONNER
cial right, and encroachment on the
territory of weaker nations as a
necessity.
To educate international opinion
by educating public opinion in q ma
ton is necessary. Civilization will
reach its zenith, and public opinion
may be said to be of the highest,
when the whole world shall condemn
those nations which refuse to SUBJ
nit international controversies to
tc an arbitrary court for decision.
That means peace.
The age when each isolated nation
was satisfied with its own opinion
has almost passed. What will be the
next stage of development? 1t will
be the education of public opinion so
that each nation will respect the
others right. And so peace is as
Sured.

schoolmates at an informal birth

question had just reached the

noon of juvenile games and amuso-

served dainty refreshments to the
guests. A regular adult shower"
of fitting presents were left behind
as token of the popularity of the
