REFRESHING THOUGHTS.

1t is timely to briefly touch upor
the splendid spirit shown by Moscow
people in the distribution of Christmas
cheer. No tot of tender age lacking
in the good things of life, failed to be
remembered; no home where the me-
cessities of life seemed almost inn
possible but was amply provided with
a generous hand; no unfortunate or
stricken person failed to be remem-
bered with gift to cheer them in
their misery.
Altogether it was refreshing
Christmas day, day when the entire
community gave their thoughts to the
better things in life, conscious that
each had done his or her share in
the making of some poor home or
some unfortunate person happy.
To those who contributed SO gener-
ously is due much praise and recogni-
ton. The City of Moscow can well be
proud of a citizenship which thus
unites in acts of this character.

Found First Prescription.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Professor Elliot
Smith, famous Psychologist, today for
mally announced the discovery of what
he believes to be the first prescription
ever written by a doctor. The date is
about 1000 B. c., and the prescription,
which is written on Egyptian papyrus,
throws an amusing light on the efforts
of the ancient medical men to deal
with acute mania. Some fourteen in
gradients are mentioned as the for
mula for an ointment designed to
weaken husky sufferer who evidently
proved too strong for his medical adj
visors, and the patient had to be an
nointed fifteen times a day until he
was sufficiently Gained to be treated
with the usual medicine.

Freed on Technically.

PARIS, Dec. 26.-Because, under the
| French law, it is no crime to employ
persons to commit murder unless they
actually accomplish it, or in Other
words, deliver the goods" Professor
Etienne Rouquette, of Stanilas college
Clamart, today was set at liberty. A
few days ago he accosted a couple #
young men from the country, named
billiard and Gavelle, in a Paris cafe,
and besought their help in getting rid
of his mother-in-law. They accepted
the job, and the professor paid them
$50 on account.
First of all, the two countrymen
spent the money in riotous living, then,
they went to the police and told their
story. When Rouquette was arraigned
he denied the story, and later not only
admitted the truth, but said he had in
structed the young men to bt. * up
the furniture and steal any va'uai les
they might want, in order to give the
impression that the crime was commit
ted for burglary alone. In spite of
this confession, Prof. Rouquette got
off on the plea of his attorneys that
his act constituted no crime in France.
1t was not until today, however, that a
higher court handed down formal de-
cision favoring the arguments of the
lawyers.

SENATOR OWENS BENEvoLENCE.

SENATOR OWENS BENEVOLENCE
Senator Owen of Oklahoma is not
sufficiently occupied with providing
the country with a new currency. He
has found leisure to draft scheme
for enabling the postal savings bank
to compete with the mutual insur-
ance companies. 1t can hardly be
said that there is a deficiency in the
number or variety of the privately
managed insurance companies. Per-
haps it may be thought that there
are too many, and that they are too
prosperous.
The parcel post has been remark
ably successful as an annihilator of
private profits. Representative Lewis
has just published statement that
the annual profits of the express
companies have fallen from $5,772, 900,
to $3,290,000. The work gains head
way as it advances, and Representa-
tive Lewis is able to report that in
one month the express companies
made loss of $4,000. 1t already
has been reported that the postal par
eel system has made profits of
$30,000,O00, all takings being profit
in government finance. 1t is stimu-
lating to think of the field opened by
government insurance on the plan of
the postal parcel system.

A senator at a public function must not
be preceded by anyone other than the
president, vice president and a member
of the supreme court. And the latter
were tolerated "as a matter of cour-
tesy" according to the senators.
Change Been Made.
But all that has been changed since
March 4, last. Members of the cabinet
have been permitted to enter public
functions ahead of senators. And even
some influential representatives have
slipped in ahead when senators were
not looking. And it remained for the
recent Wilson-Sayre wedding to deal
the crushing blow. There ''commone-
rs',' members of the immediate family,
had the choice seats and places. And
when it was all over they led the
procession out of the east room. In
fact the entire function took on the
appearance of plain American we'd

as anyone being any better than any

that the rights of the senators must

There is no other legislative body
of any government in the world with

ITO assign to senators an inferior rank
cannot be harmonized with the exercise
of such powers. In official life SEN

not to be present at function, public
