HOW TIE ARMY N NAVY MAKE GOOD

Europes interest in the Christmas ship as she nears port reminds
us acc more Of the heavy debt the enterprise we o the army and
navy. 1t would have been quite impossible to organize a civilian force
to sort and load eighty carloads of gifts in less tnan tn days, but the
trained lei of the VIC services accomplished it with a will. "
The uniforms associated with the Christmas ship are often seen
where helpful work is to be done. In a Galveston or a Dayton flood,
after al earthquake at San Francisco or at esina, where a huge public
gathering like the Gettysburg reunion threatens o swamp the local
civil authorities when financial aid and guidance aret to &c rendered 10
American citizens caught in the confusion OF a great al the army and
navy by their disciplined intelligence, have SO often made good that W e
have come to expect it OF them as a matter OF course.
Fortunate is the republic that its army and navy, at a time like this
are free to devote their energies to works of peace and healing.

SINGS PRAISE OF "BIGNEsS'
Writer In LesIIe's Weekly Sees Good
In Everything That Has Quail
fieation of Size.

Bigl It is said that the soil that
produces big crops is found where big
men abound. After all bigness is
something of which every one is
proud. California boasts of its big
trees, Oregon and Washington of their
big apples, Texas of its big territory,
Oklahoma of its big oil wells, Colorado
of its big mines. New England of its
big mills, Alabama of its big iron de-
posts, Pennsylvania of its big steel
industry and New York of its big
banks. Everywhere bigness is the boast
Of civilization. Nations vie with each
other to command the biggest part Of
the worlds trade. In this great strug-
gle for commercial supremacy the
United States, during the past decade,
has been among the foremost because
OF its big men in the industrial, the
railway and professional fields. The
product of this bigness Of men
has been a big country with big
wages. Let us stop caviling and
finding fault. Let us put and end to
busting and smashing, and give the
widest opportunity for individual eff
fort. Encourage bigness of the fac
tory and the pay envelope alike. Give
big brains a chance, whether in bank,
counting Don or workshop. Bigness
pays.-Leslie's Weekly.

Portions of my arms and limbs were

Some Of the correspondents with the

HYPNOTISM FOR THE AILING
Famous French Physician Claims to
Be Able to Cure Many Of the
Ills OF Mankind.

DR.. Bertillon Of Paris asserts that
psychotherapia, or %soulculture, is the
medicine of the future.
He does not put his patients into
hynotic frances, but places them in
an environment which creates an ap-
petite for sleep. He invites them to
repose on their beds and think of
nothing. Then he leaves them, and
they gradually succumb to the tick
tack Of a metronome.
When a patient is in a hypnotic
slumber, If it is desired that he shall
be cured of a tendency to excessive
indulgence in alcohol, the psychother-
apist suggests to him that he cannot
raise a glass Of absinthe to his lips,
and repeats the suggestion until the
prohibition is SO engraved upon the
brain that il the patient would he
could not do so.
DR.. Bertillon is frequently consulted
by those who have had unhappy love
affairs, and 1t is said that through hyp-
notism they obtain release from their
unrequited passion.

Mans Life Outlava-

An eccentric parsonage has just died
in a town in the west of France at the
age Of seventy-seven. When he was
eighteen years of age he began to keep
a book of personal expenses. For So
years he jotted down every item.
During this period he smoked 62S,-
713 cigars. Of thus number 1852 were
presented to him by friends. For the
remaining 595,021 he spent the sum of
&2,040.
He had bought sc pairs of trousers,
which cast him 992; rs jackets and
w%aistcoats for e16O, and 81 pairs of
shoes for 966. He used 800 shirts
and 354 collars, for which he paid e53.
His omnibus and tram fares came to
962. In Is years he drank 28,875 books
and 4O,303 small glasses of liquor, and
spent on them 91,104, plus 9249 in
tips.-Glasgow Evening News.

Ploeor,s Fast Flloht.

The Lanarkshire (Scotland) Homing
federation had a most successful race
from Dumfries the other week, and
many of the birds covered the distance
TO. their lofts at a speed of over sixty
miles an hour.
The fastest performance that has
been reported in the race was that of
a pigeon belonging to Messrs. Steuart
Brothers of Larkhall, which accom-
plished the journey at the rate of fully
'sixty-six miles an hour. In pigeon
flying these fast velocities can only
be accomplished when the birds have
the wind behind them, and should a
pigeon have to face a moderate head
wind, its speed would be only about
thirty miles an hour.

ANCESTRAL.

Mrs. Farthingale was going out and
was wearing - it was not quite alto
gether spring time yet-the wonderful
red fox frrs that her mother had CIV
en- her as a birthday present. Little
Walter, Mrs. Farthingale's eldest hope,
was amusing himself by playing some
what roughly with the tail that had be-
longed to the fox.
BE careful, child said his mother,
that came from your dear grandmam-
ma"
To which little Walter, surprised
and puzzled, replied:
Did grandma use to have a tail
then, mother?"

GLORIOUS CITY
As Remarkable in Its Climate as
Its Memorials.
Not Too Hot in Summer Nor Too Cold
In Winter-Art Lovers of Every
Degree Can Find soIace
Here.

London.-There are those who tell
us that Rome is glorious alike in its
climate as in its memorials for all
the 1855 days Of the year. 1t is not, as
certain Italian cities are, too hot in
the summer nor too cold In the winter.
but there can scarcely be a question
that 1t is at its brightest in the
spring. Florence has been called the
city of flowers but Rome also has it's
floral charm, and happy are they to
whom 1t is given to enjoy the beauty
of its Seven Hills at this time of the
year. II the Gardens of Lucullus no
longer adorn the Pincio we still have
terrace upon terrace of views of I'M
speakable beauty.
The visitor to Rome perhaps makes
his first interest the interior of st.
Peters. The exterior will disappoint
him, for although the dome is higher
than our st. Paul's it is SO thrown
back as to lack some of the distinc.
ton of our metropolitan cathedral, but
the interior Of st. Peters will sur
pass all possible expectations. Here
Is a church the like of which in gor-
geousness and In extent Is unsurpassed
In Christendom although some Of the
tombs Of earlier popes may seem to
you to be too ornate. With an asser-
tiveness that is perhaps scarcely
Christian the church records on its
floor the relative sizes Of other great
churches of the world, including St.
PauPs cathedral in London and Notre
Dame.
To the lover Of sculpture a great
day is the visit that one pays to the
Vatican galleries, sees the LAGOON"
the Vatican Venus and so many
other treasures Of worldwide fame. In
n private picture gallery in the
Palazzo Barberini you will see the
m~uch-talked-of Beatrice Cenci' by
GHido REM, but wherever you go in
Zone you will find wonderful works
of art that have been made the sub
Ject OF poem or Of story. Then the
ruins Of an older Rome-the Rome
of the ancient world-how abundant
they are, Who that stands in the
Forum but wishes to reconstruct that
vast area as 1t was in the days of the
Caesars?
The Palace of Nero again, is an in
spring monument, so also is the Col
m of Trajan, the Coliseum, the Pan
theon, the Arch Of Titus, the Baths of
C~aracalla. But some of ones most
memorable hours will certainly be
spent on a spring Afternoon wandering
about the Coliseum, where you will see
little lizards jumping from step to
step, for II the lion no longer holds it's
place in these wonderful ruins the
lizard is there apparently to all eter-
nifty. Think again Of the delightful
drive along the Via Appia to the cata-
combs Of st. Calixtus, a weird expert
ence. Scarcely less noteworthy in it's
morbidity is that famous chapel in
which the skulls and bones of innum-
cradle monks make up the archi-
%tectural design. Who that has seen
all these and innumerable other
wonders of the Eternal City, but will
make his way to the Fontana df
Trevi, that most magnificent of the

In Difficulty.

A newly-married young woman had
a gas cooker fixed in her kitchen. The
gas company sent her a card Of rules
with instructions to study them we'll,
and what she couldn't understand they
would explain to her. Imagine the
clerks surprise the next morning
when he read the following note:
Dear Sir-I a understand all the
rules except the one at the bottom Of
the card See other side It's i'm
possible to see the other side; the man
has fixed it against the wall"

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain manner
isms of expression. A parson had a
habit Of frequently saying for years
and years and years" in the course
Of a sermon. He was preaching on
the Prodiga Son, and spoke of him sit
ting down in that far-off land thinking
of the home that he had not see for
years and years and years."
That was all right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and Of the calf which his father had
kept in anticipation of that happy day.
Yes" said he. dropping into his IA
vorite cadence for the winding up of a
sentence: Eyes, the calf which he had
kept for years and years and years."
Then somebody laughed!

plate from a letter box outside the
post office at Stanley Road, Tedding-

October, 1891, we're found wedged be-
tween the plate and the frame of the

colored after their 20 years rest, the
addresses on two of them we're de-
cipherable, and they have been de-
livered.
