CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Once upon a time there lived
in large town a family and they
were very poor. The next day
was Christmas eve and they did
not have q thing, so as to have a
little pleasure. There were four
children in this family and their
names were Esther, Martha,
James and Harry and the father
and mother. They thought that
nobody would think about them
because they lived in such a big
town. They waited until Christ
mas eve and they were watching
their neighbors having good
time.
All at once there came a knock
at the door. The lady opened the
door and told the person to come
in and warm himself. 1t was q
girl about fifteen years of age and
she walked in. They asked her
who she was and she told them
that she was the Christmas Spirit.
Then she asked them kindly if
they would go into another room,
which they did. Then she pulled
the table out in the center of the
floor and went outside and
brought in a great deal of bundles
She took out a nice table cloth
and spread 1t on the table. She
then took and put a tree on the
table and decorated it and lit the
candles, put the presents under
the tree. She put plates, cups
spoons, forks and knives on the
table and put on many good things

Professor Migge began his
researches In the field Of

upon the knowledge that all
hair that is unhealthy is in

germs called hair bacteria.
Until the scientist found the

More British Doctors.

By a change in the bylaws Of the
Royal College of Physicians in Lon
don, made in December last, says the
British Medical Journal Oondon) =,
the number Of persons entitled to use
the title Of Doctor" in Great Britain
has been largely increased, although.
curiously enough, the number OF
qualified physicians remains precisely
the same. The fact Is that until this
change all British physicians were not
entitled to be called Doctor" Only
those who had received the doctorial
degree from a university were so en-
titled. The Royal college gives diplo-
mas to it's graduates, but has no pow
er to confer degrees. To the ordinary
citizen, however a physician is a
Doctor" degree or no degree; and
the British apostles of red tape have
been obliged to bow to the popular
will. The Royal College of Physicians
of London, by the alteration in it's by
laws, has recognized this fact.

SAVINGS SYSTEM TRANSFERRED.

Postmaster General Burleson has
signed an order transferring the pos
tai savings system to the bureau of
the third assistant postmaster gener-
al The order became effective on
May 1, 1913. Since the creation OF the
postal savings system on January 1,
1911, it has been conducted as a sep
arate and distinct bureau under the
direction of the postmaster general
The transfer of the system is deemed
advisable by the postmaster general,
since all other financial functions Of
the postal service are segregated IN
the bureau of the third assistant post
master general At the present time
the postal savings system is operating
in approximately 1900 post offices,
and the amount on deposit aggregates
S35, 100000, exclusive of S2,50O,QO0
which has been converted into postal
savings system bonds. In the central
Office at Washington there are 1873 en-
pIoyes, including the director, assist
ant director and four other supervis-
DRY officers. The appropriation for
carrying on the business of the sys-
tenn for 1912 amounted to 100000,
and the appropriation for 1913 is
100000 and the unexpended amount
Of the 1912 appropriation. In addition
to these appropriations there is an
appropriation of S229,9S0 for clerk
hire and s105,500 for supplies and
miscellaneous expenses for 1914.

SUPPLY OF RAD|UM
Two Thirds of Ore Comes From
United States.
Then This Country Is Forced to Buy
Abroad Valuable Product From
Raw Material Bought Herein
dustry to Be Developed.

Washington - Fully two-thirds of
the radium supply of the world comes
from the United States, according to
the bureau of mines. This discovery
has just been made by officials of the
bureau, who have found that large
quantities of the radum-bearing ores
are being shipped abroad through the
foresight OF foreign scientists. Al
though the bureau of mines has ascer-
tanned that the United States has the
greatest known supply Of radium-bear-
ing ores, not one bit has been pro-
duced here 1t is the intention OF the
bureau of mines, in view Of these
facts, to encourage the development of
this industry, the product of which is
valued at approximately $2,250,00O an
ounce.
THE United States today is in the
humiliating position of being forced to
purchase at extravagant prices from
abroad such radium as it's hospitals
and physicians can afford for expert
mental purposes, while we have been
supplying the ores from which it is
made" said Charles l.. Parsons, chief
of the division of mineral technology
of the bureau.
Several months ago rumorS reached
the buraeu Of mines that in Colorado
there had been an increased demand
for carnotite, the radium-carrying ore,
and that this ore was being shipped
abroad in considerable quantity. 1t
was also reported that the Europeans
were insist upon only the highest
grades of these ores, and that a great
amount of lower grade ores was prac-
tically being wasted.
"R. B. Moore and K. L. Kithil, in
charge of the Denver (Col.) laboratory,
investigated these rumors and found
that, while all the radium placed upon
the market in the last few years had
been produced in Europe, a large por-
ton of this had come from American
ores.
THE Austrian government, realizing
the untold possibilities of the radium
ores at ST. Joachimtshal, purchased
the mines. On the other hand, the
United States has allowed her much
greater resources to be exploited by
foreigners On a basis which wastes
perhaps irretrievably a large portion
of the ores mined, and has exported
carefully selected ores at price by no
means commensurate with its radium
value.
"The discovery of radium has al
ready changed our ideas regarding the
constitution of matter, and scientific
investigation will undoubtedly lead to
valuable results which we cannot now
even foresee. 1t is the purpose of the
bureau of mines to encourage the de-
velopment of radium industry in the
United States"

PEPPERS IN PARSONS SOCKS
nation to Persons With
Cold Feet.

OF the many ministers who have
preached at Broad Creek l am proud
to have been one, writes correspond
ent to the Associate Reformed Pres
byterian. There is not a congregation
in our synod that is more loyal to our
distinctive principles than Broad
Creek
My first visit to the church was in
the winter of 1860, and l never shall
forget thing that took place on the
road to Lexington one very cold,
frosty morning. My hostess, Mrs.
Lackey, was very much afraid that
my feet would freeze, and SO 1t was
that she told me a plan that would
keep my feet comfortable all the way
to Lexington.
l was glad to know how that could
be done. She gave me two pods OF
red pepper and told me to pulzerize
them and to put the dust in each
sock. l cheerfully did as the good
woman directed. put on my boots.
mounted my horse and set out on my
journey, fearless Of the frost.
1 thought it was good invention.
but in half an hour it proved to be
too much of a good thing. l had not
gone over three miles when my feet
felt as If there was a stove under
each foot. A few miles farther 1t
seemed as if my feet were on fire,
and 1 had to get down, take off my
boots and socks, shake out the pepper
and let my feet cool down. l finished
my journey in comfort and gratitude
to Mrs. Lackey.
In 1867 / told this experience to a
lady in Arkansas, about six miles
southeast of Monticello. She said:
Il will give you my husbands expert
ence and mine with pepper. He had
suffered from cold feet winter and
summer and doctor told him to take
five pods of long red pepper, cut them
in two and slip piece over each toe
and wear them half a day. But l do
not know how he stood it that long.
He followed the doctors advice and
he has never had any cold feet since.
But that is not all--he has never been
able to sleep with his feet under the
cover at night on account of hot feet.

JAPANESE IN HAWAII SCHOOLS.

Of the 10000 children enrolled in the
Hawaiian public schools nearly 10000
of them are Japanese. This informa
ton was received by the United States
bureau of education in report from
Gov. Walter F. Frear of the islands
The Japanese, moreover, are increas-
ing their attendance on the schools
more rapidly than any other race. the
report adds
A notable feature of Governor s
Frear's report is found in the state
ment that the children Of Americans
and other Caucasian races, outside Of
the Portuguese, constitute only II per
cent. of the attendance. The Portu
guese enrolment in the schools Is
next highest to that of the Japanese
being approximately II per cent. OF
the total. The Hawaiian and part-Ha
waiian children form about 20 pei
cent of the whole and Chinese II per
cent.
The cost of maintaining the schools
in the territory last year was approxi.

HEAD STOPS A BRICK.

William Moore, a negro, awakened
the other day with bad headache
while physicians expected that he
would have been occupying space in
the morgue. He stopped a brick the
day before after it had fallen ten sto-
ries and was travelling with the We
locity of a cannon ball. When it hit
Moore on the top of his head it broke
into bits Moore sat down suddenly
and apparently was a subject for the
coroner.
Workmen on the building from
which the brick dropped sent hurried
ly for physician. Before the doctor
arrived Moore was up.
"What'ye want to do that for?" he
demanded angrily of a workman who
was bending over to catch the sup
posedly dying mans last words.
Examination of Moore revealed that
all he suffered was a headache. The
brick contractor charged the brick &c
profit and loss.
