From the first dose, could feel re-

My friends were surprised to see the

For the Birds.

From the Southern Workman.
Among other delightful traits of the
Scandinavian people is their custom in
their Yule festivities of thinking not only
of the happiness of their little ones, but
of teaching these children to bear in
mind the happiness OF others and in par
ticular of the animals about them. We
have seen that they never omit to pro-
vide the trusty household nisse with his
Yule dinner of porridge. But they also
remember the birds. At the Yuletide sea-
son the market place of Christiania pre-
sents very gay aspect, filled as 1t is
with spruce trees Of all sizes for the
children's festival. But there is fea-
ture in the Morse Christmas that 1 have
not heard of in any other country, in
that in this .marketplace there is for
each Christmas tree a Juleneg, or little
sheaf of barley. each person who buys
tree buying also a sheaf Then, when
the tree is set up in the main room of
the houses at Yuletide for the BARNS
(born. as they are called in Norway,
the sheaf, of grain Is fastened on the
end of a pole and put out in the yard
for Christmas feast for the birds. II
the degree OF civilization Of people
can be measured by its behavior to the
animals about il, then this custom de-
notes in the Norsemen very high plane.

A NUTMEG CONGRESSMAN.
How 'sUncIe Jere" Rushed Into the
Fray and Is Not Sorry.

From the New Haven JOurpal-Courier.
Our own Congressman Jeremiah Dono-
van OF Norwalk. the Representative from
the Fourth district, affectionately known
by some as Uncle Jere." as his prede-
cessor was affectionately known by some
as Uncle Ebb," is a genius in the line
OF making his presence felt wherever
fate locates him. It was so when he was
a member of the State Senate. No one
ever knew when the serenity of that body
would be stirred and bounced out OF the
window by the candid Jere. Even Stiles
Judson, who was so often the instrument
used by Jere TO pry the lid OF the box
Of hidden explosives, didn't know.
The Uncle Jere of the Connecticut
State Senate is the same Uncle Jere who
has attracted the attention Of the nation
by his occasional attacks on fellow
members in Congress Monday saw him
in action in the House of Representa-
tives. He lit out. as the saying Is, for
the progressive member of that body.
Mr.. Murdock, who was discoursing
amiably upon the subject Of government
by caucus Uncle Jere took issue with
the gentleman and denied that the eau
Gus system was the fault OF the legisla-
tive system at Washington; that the
real fault was absenteeism, and as Mr..
Murdock Is a Chautauquan favorite the
blow landed in a vulnerable place. In
second there was an Uproar. After spar
ring for a while with indignant Con-
gressmen, charging a Kentucky member
with being rarely seen in his seat, Uncle
Jcre slung this out and the storm abated.
well. they ought to resign and go home
IL they don't want to stay here on the
job"
Uncle Jere is the sure Bernard Shaw
of American politics He also reminds US
OF our distinguished fellow-citizen who
stuffed the ballot box at a recent cleo
ton just to satisfy himself that 1t could
be done. He had heard so much Of bal
lot box stuffiing that he developed large
sized doubt as to the possibility OF its
being successfully done. Being conyincsd
he became sorry. We suspect that Uncle
Jere plunges in where angels fear to tread
just TO satisfy himself that the angels
lack pip. But he is never sorry.

A New Educational Feature.

How much does the average high
school student know of the industries,
manufacturing and other, of his own
city or community? To what extent
does he realize what place his own To-
cality takes in the economic system of
the country: The Winston-S Salem IN.
c. Board OF Trade is putting into
practice an interesting idea worth the
notice of similar bodies in other cities.
The secretary OF the Board of Trade
is conducting a course for high school
seniors in government and economics
in which he pays especial attention to
local industries and to those of the
Southern States. One of the first tasks
assigned the students was to assist in
making a survey of Winston-Salem,
thus putting them directly in touch
with the activities on which the life of
the community rests. If they are es-
pecially interested they have an oppor-
tunity 10 follow up the subject, and
even if they do not they have bet
ter knowledge OF things around them
which will enable them to work and
vote more intelligently.
The presence of trade week in Wash
ington brings to the front the eco
nomic life of the city, usually more or
less eclipsed by the affairs of Federal
government, and it also emphasizes the
fact that few of us have any informa-
ton in regard to local trade and in
dustries. The steady building going on
here, and the daily wants of a popu-
lation of $4,000 require heavy supply
of construction material, food, clothing,
and the thousands of incidentals that
flow in the channels of trade. Whence
does all this come and how? On what
cities and on what lines of communica-
ton are we dependent for our daily
existence? What reduction in costs
might be brought about by working in
the right direction? These and other
details of our economic situation the
most of US know little about, yet they
are details which are of vital daily i'm
portance.
: A general survey of the trade and.
industrial situation. such as that afford
ed by the plan of the Winston-Salem
Board of Trade, would furnish such
knowledge to students at their most
receptive period, and enable them to
see just how they were being fed and
maintained in comfort.
Most people are brought to a reali-
zstion OF what the machinery Of pro-

0regon's Care for Its Women.

Once more the far away State OF
Oregon is in the limelight with a pro-
gressive enactment, but this time there
is nothing but praise for our ultra
modernized friends of the Pacific
Slope. Experiment in the methods OF
government certainly are, in order
there. The latest surprise has come in
the form of paternalistic legislation,
to wit, that women clerks must re-
ceive a minimum wage of $o.25 per
week, and are not to work more than
eight hours and twenty minutes a day.
This comes pretty near to being the
millennium for female toilers, but the
pity is that Oregon is so essentially
an agricultural State that only one
single community there rises to the
dignity of a city, namely Portland, and
that there are only six other places
there with a population of more than
5000, Salem, the capital, leading with
I4.ooo.
Women clerks therefore are not an
important factor in that Commonwealth,
because there are no large urban popu-
lations.
Here is a suggestion: Let Portland
advertise this minimum wage law as a
sort of propaganda to boom the city.
1t ought to be able to double or treble
its female contingent rapidly.

Defending the Dance.

From the Pittsburgh GaEette-TimeS
. II the Pittsburgh branch of the Ameri-
can Physical Training Association shall
undertake the work Of reforming the
atrocious modern styles OF dancing its
labors in that direction will receive the
cordial approval of all clean-minded
people, to whom the vulgarities of many
of the so called dances Of the period
are not only obnoxious but alarming in
the evil influences eXerted among the
young. So much has been written and
said about the ungraceful ,posturing OF
the dances practiced today that a calm
word of protest from official sources is
especially welcomed. The course that
the reformers propose to take is also
the most logical so far advanced In
stead of a system Of coercion against the
vulgar dance. the association proposes
to use old DR.. Chambers prescription
against evil employment by substituting
something better.

A tear is a drop of liquid woe spilling
over
Babies are composed of tears to the ex-
tent of about 96 per cent and shed them
with the utmost industry. A baby can
cry as easily as it can rain in Portland,
Greg. Babies cry because they are hot or
cold or hungry or bored or sleepy or
wakefuI, or sad or angry or meditative.
They also cry because their fathers are
Republicans or because they are going to
grow UP and work sometime, and because
what is going down, and for reasons
which they have forgotten but do not
need.
However, after babies grow up they
change materially. II a baby is going
to become a man it stops crying about
the age of nine. unless II is going to be-
come a minister or a criminal lawyer. II
the baby becomes a woman 1t saves up
its tears and applies them where they
will do the most good.
This is a great lesson on the value of
conservation. When a baby is shedding
a gallon of tears every twenty-four, hours
nobody minds them much. But &hen Il
beautiful young woman saves up he-
tears and allows one of them to trickie
down her nose at II p. m. after heated
discussion, the young man who ca aLsed
said tears hoists the white flag and
begs her to use him for a boulevard.
women's tears are more effective thar
babies because they do not waste them.
When a woman cries too much her nose
becomes red and her complexion peeIs
of in such a manner as to cause great
indifference among the opposite sex. But
when she smiles most of the time and
only heaves in a tear at a critical point
in the argument IL is more effective :haa

Maine Dinner of 1896.

From the Bath Times
One day this week, while workmen were
clearing out rubbish from the rooms of
the top story of the Johnson Brothers
Block, on Front Street, which years ago
used to be occupied as servants quarters
of the Elliott House. which was known
as one Of the best hotels in, the State.
they came across an old bill of fare of
the Franklin House. dated October l6
1886, and the landlords Of the olden days
were stars in their business, judging
from the menu, which was as follows:
Macaroni soup. boiled corned beef,
tongue, chicken and pork, stewed part
ridge. stewed rabbit, boiled rice, stewed
tomatoes. stewed oysters, roast beef tur-
key. duck, goose. chicken. game, part
ridges, black duck. puddings and pastry,
dessert, &c. On the menu card was
long list of liquors.

Paying Campaign Expenses.

From the Columbus COhiol Dispatch.
The Coverings. at their conference at
Colorado Springs. discussed the PROPOSE
ton that the State assume the expense
Of campaigns for State offices.
But If the State is to pay the cost of
campaigning. there should be some way
of limiting the number OF candidates:
otherwise the State would be burdened
with the expenses of candidates who
should not have run because they had no
chance of election. The Oregon plan of
gaining publicity for every candidate by
an official publication, in which each Is
privileged to take so much space at the
stated price, and which is mailed to every
eIector. has the appearance Of sanity.
The power of money in elections cannot
be too carefully guarded against.

United States of Central America. ="

The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee is considering a plan submitted
to it for the amalgamation of the five
republics of Central America, Its IA
vorabIe reception may lead to the for
nation of a United States of Central
America, comprising the governments
of Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador,
Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Such a
union would be welcomed by the
United States government. 1t would
strengthen the relations between Cen
trail America and this country; it
would give an added security to the
Panama Canal Zone, and it might even
help Mexico. II would promote and
boom trade with the United States, but
the greatest benefit would result to the
Central Americans themselves. The
history of our FIVE small sisters there
has been rather turbulent Yet
they have much, if not all, in common,
and if this government could promote
unity among them it would be a fine
diplomatic achievement for the Wilson
administration.
The people of the FIVE states, we are
told, favor the union. Local differ
ences have been amicably adjusted, and
there is a better understanding among
all of them, especially since the down.
fall of that perennial disturber, Zelaya.
The only objection comes from Costa
Rica, which is desirous of entering the
union. but demands that its metrop-
oils, San Jose, should be chosen as the
capital of the same. This is so trifing
a matter that it should he overcome
easily
Guatemala is taking the initiative in
the proposed Quintuple Alliance. That
country, under the peaceful and judi
cious administration of Gen. Cabrera,
has greatly prospered. Its capital,
Guatemala City possesses fine natural
and architectural beauty, and has a
population of more than one hundred
thousand.
The idea of such a union is not
new one. 1t was broached way back
when the late Mr.. Blaine was Secre-
tary of State, but, While this govern
ment always has been ready to stand
by our little sisters in order to smooth
over their foreign relations, the ANAL
gamation of Central America never be-
fore has been seriously considered by
them nor by this government.
