THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

This is the one season of the year
when most men pause temporarily in
their pursuit of gold and allow their
hearts to warm towards their less for
tunat %neighbors. And while they
may not always feel able to respond
to all calls upon their charity, they
win at least accord them a careful
consideration and aid by their counses,
if they do nothing else.
This ameliorating Influence is due
entirely to the precepts and examples
of Jesus Christ, a man who lived and
suffered death two thousand years
ago. Born amid squalid surroundings.
and never possessed Of any worldly
goods, his life has had a greater in
flaence upon the human race than has
tfat of any other man. While the
mighty kings and military men of his
cay and generation have been well
nigh forgotten, today the followers of
the lowly Nazarene are more numerous
than at any time in the history of
C~hristendom.
At the time of Christi birth, the
world was in a state of expectancy.
for his coming had been prophesied
for many years, and it was thought
that the time was close at hand. The
Jews expected a royal parsonage, a
man of wealth and might, who would
be able to raise and command large
armies to avenge the wrongs they
had received at the hands of Rome.
Great was their chagrin when they
found that their promised king was a
helpless infant, without money and
powerful friends.
But is is well for the world that he
was the messenger of peace and love
instead of what had been expected.
Whatever may be our individual be
liefs concerning his divinity, all must
admit that his life has had a softening
influence on humanity that could not
have been accomplished in any other
manner.

than that of the oak. 1t is rare that
a wild grapevine is found that has

The Lerot and the Snake,

Every one has heard of the remarka-
BILE combats of the Indian mongoose
with venomous snakes. in which little
ikki-tikki-tavi comes off victor. The
fact that the mongoose invariably sur
wives has led TO the suggestion that it
is immune to snake poison. Other AMI
mails said to be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog The experiments
of British naturaliSts show that an
animal of the dormouse family must
be added to the list of the immune
This animal is known as the lcrot and
is said 10 fight fierccly with viperS
Large doses of viper'S poison were in
iected into one ierOt from which in.

occasion a lerot was bitten badly in
the eye by Il viper, and no signs Of
poisoning occurred. There can, it is
thought, be no doubt. that the ieret rs

Taikinu Canaries.

Talking canarieS are Il great rarity.
but several authenticated instances are
on record At Norwood, England. in
1853 lady had a canary bird which
began by repeating a word which its
mistress had often used to it-"Kissie,
kissie'-and by following the word up
by an imitation Of the sound of kiss.
After Il time the bird repeated other
words until it had a large vocabulary
of phrases. one of which consisted of
five words. Again, in 1868, talking
canary was exhibited in Bath. with a
vocabulary such as is generally taught
to parrots, and another talking canary
was exhibited for a few weeks in this
country, but it unfortunately caught
cold and died. In Germany and the
Tyrol canaries are taught to initiate
the notes of other birds and whistle
simple tunes, and the words which it
initiates may be regarded as q mere
or variant Of its musical
notes.

IMPERIAL VALLEY MAY
Be IN MOTION PICTURE

Moving pictures, for some years
past. have been a great source OF
zaezsure aud recreation to millions OF
pe0ple. The class Of pictures pre-
seuted has undergone a steady i'm
Brpgement. Instead of being merely
humorous and providing diversion for
the passing hour, many films now are
{rneortant as educational factors.
Lecturers and college professors have
been quick to seize on moving pictures
AS an aid, and in various places mu-
uicinaI authorities are making plans to
install these outfits for the benefit of
children in public schools. And now
4 rs proposed to utilize moving pic
lures as an advertisement of a county
the place selected being our own I'M
ger6aE county.
We people of the valley are so much
zssssrbed in our own lines and each
day is so crowded with details, that
mosr of us do not fully realize how
tremendously interesting our home val
ny Is TO the country at large. We
have done some advertising to at
rract new blood and additional capi-
zaI. but much more might be done. 1t
is ROW proposed to do this in novel
AID effective manner with the aid of
nskSIng pictures These will comprise
Tie&s in all the towns, pictures of
hones, facebries, mills, dairy farms,
cattle. hog and sheep ranches, cotton
fields. and all other industries in the
valley. This will show to the world
what has been done and give very
clear conceptions of what might be
doqe As pictures are universal
language they will tell the world
mauy things which would be almost
impossible 10 tell in plain type.
A proposition has been made TO
some of the Well known business men
Of the town to take an elaborate Sc
ries of pictures, along lines above emu
merated. and exhibit them for a perOid
Of seven months. They will be shown
in every town and city in the country
which is large enough to have a thea
leF. and they will be used in European
cRLes also. The cost of this seven
months show is to be $4,000, and it is
proposed to raise this sum by popu-
lar subscription The makers of films
haFe asked John E, Davis, druggist in
III CenCro, 10 present the possibility
o the people here and subscriptions
may be made at his store or any OF the
banks in the valley
Fhe entire project is worthy of the
earnest consideration and liberal fnan-
nal support Of every business man
and land owner in the valley. Adver-
cisIng Of this sort will pay large divi-
aeods almost Immediately and for an
indefinite time to come.
