Track Is Cleared For Santa
Claus.

In an effort to speed the flying hoofs
of Santa Claus reindeer, Secretary Lane,
of the Interior Department, has set aside
the convenience of his own branch OF
the Government and issued orders that
the children's patron saint was to be
given as clear and unimpeded a track
as possible. To bring this about en-
ployes of the department were instruct
ed to refrain from forwarding package
mail to Washington or elsewhere during
the ten days preceding Christmas, ex-
cept in emergency cases.
The importance of the order and the
aid it will be TO the Postoffice Depart
ment in handling the vast amount of
package matter during the holiday rush,
is seen in the announcement that vast
amount of package mail always is in
transit between the various Offices OF the
department. Secretary Lane believes
the business of the Government will not
suffer by the brief let up in its trans
mission, while the benefits to be confer
red in relieving the mails of The matter
will be great. The departments letter
mail will go forward as usual.

goodbye Gossip.

This gossip thing is evidently in for
some serious quarter hours. Over in
Wisconsin. you know, gossips can be
prosecuted under a new law. And now
down in Kansas women have begun a
movement to abolish gossip altogether,
especially the kind exchanged over back
yard feaces. Their weapon will be social
ostracism for all gossipers. OF course a
strict enforcement of these rules will
mean a considerable spell OF silence for
some persons, unless they can fall back
on weather discussions effectively But
when gossip Is entirely wiped out-when-
ever that time may arrive-this will be
remarkable world won't it? Right
now city after city is abolishing vice,
stopping useless noises, regulating the
drink traffic, limiting the advance of
feminine fashions, purging the stage and
becoming regenerate. So, of course, the
doom OF gossip had to be sounded. And
by and by there won't be anything TO
gossip about anyway, will there-if this
progress toward perfection fails to strike
a snag!

THE FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
(Christian Herald.)


1t is often stated that Robert
Raikes was the founder of the first
Sunday school at Gloucester, Eng
land, in 1880. The fact is that the
first Sunday school was established by
Ludwig Hoecker in 1740 at Ephrata.
Lancaster county, Pa. This was 40
years before the work of Mr.. Raikes.
Mr. Hoeckers school was for the re-
ligious instruction of the children of
the neighborhood. Among other
methods employed he wrote Bible
verses upon cards. which the children
committed to memory. Later he had
the cards printed. Mr. Hoecker died
in 1892. after a long and useful ca
reer.

possession Of his mandolin, his OLD
paint brushes, cast off rags, unpaid
bills and other oddments seized by the
police in his room, but all offers were
unhesitatingly declined.
When the picture was conveyed to
the Ufiz gallery on Thursday after
noon Professor Poggi, director of the
Florence art galleries, and Signor Geri,
the art dealer, examined it most care
fully. Signor Geri, who is experienced
i'm the identification of old pictures and
who handled II in all lights. and Pro-
fessor Poggi, who enjoys a great rep
utation as an art expert. ascertained
beyond a doubt that the picture as
painted is four hundred years old. ex-
Guiding the possibility, therefore, of its
being a modern copy.
A second stage in the examination of
the picture consisted Of a careful and
patient comparison of the painting with
enlarged photographs of the same made
while the picture was still in the
Louvre. A strong magnifying glass
was used and every inch of the surface
thoroughly scrutinized. The photo
graphs had reproduced the minutest
cracks and the invisible blisters which
characterize the surface of all old pict-
ures. and each crack and blister on the
picture corresponded in size and direc-
| ton with the identical crack and bis
| ter on the photographs.
A slight abrasion on the cheek and a
! scratch on the left shoulder were sus-
| tanned while the picture was in the
hands of Vincenzo Perugia.
