CHARMING CHnIsTMAs CUSTOM.

Old, very old in England, we read in
the December issue of the Nvomans Home
Compa MON, is the custom Of setting light
ed candles in the windows on Christ
mas eve to give holiday greeting to the
passer-by. but little use has been nado
of this charming idea in our country.
Baltimore, however. has had a city-wde
lighting of candles which was so success
full that it is repeated every year
Weeks before Christmas, when plans
we're being made for the Community tree.
1t was suggested that each household set
lighted candles in the parlor windows to
wish Merry Christmas 70 their fellow
townspeople, not even the most cnthusi-
site supporter of the candle greeting ex-
pected to see half the number of win
dows that were so lighted when Christ
mas eve came.
Scarcely a city block in any section of
the city was without at least one illumi-
nation and 1t was not rare to see every
house in a row frightened by this evil
dence Of peace on earth. good will to
men" 1t warmed the very cookies of
ones heart to walk through street after
street with these silent Christmas greet
ings everywhere. and no one who has
gone through such experience could ever
want to know another Christmas eve

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL TIM
DER,

Less than eight months from now the
candidates for the next presidency OF the
United States will have been nominated
Less than four months from now the
primaries which will determine the candi-
date will have begun and some of the
delegates will have been elected. At the
present moment it is possible to say that
the most aggressive candidacy for the re-
publican nomination is that of Senator
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts. En-
Senator Root Is not really available. JUS
tice Hughes is. as always, the republic
cans one best chance. but his disinclina-
ton to permit the use Of his name has
not been diminished. In the Judgment of
the closest and most careful observers
he Is likely to remain firm In refusing
to permit the use OF his name in the race.
Senator Burton of Ohio is the third con-
sentative who shows strength and COM
mands a good deal of public confidence
Among the more progressive possibilities
of the Republican party, Cummins and
Borah are the only persons who have
enough following to be considered. With
the layout as 1t stands here. is the Re-
publican party likely to make much of a
showing in the next national election

GRAIN IN ARID PERSIA.

The great arid wastes of Persia would
lead one to believe that the country does
not produce sufficient grain to supply the
needs of its population, Such, however, Is
not the case, and considerable quantities
of grain are exported each year, The
principal grains grown are wheat, barley
and rice. Corn is planted in small Quanti-
ties, but is only used for roasting ears
Oats and rye are seldom sown' Except
along the Caspian coast Persian agrl-
culture is dependent almost entirely on
irrigation. The agricultural implements
used in Persia are OF the most primitive
kind Plows are made from forks of small
trees with the addition of 4 share Of
iron. 1t is stated to be doubtful, how
ever, whether the yield of grain would
be greatly increased by using modern
plows. as there Is no sod and this crude
implement seems to stir the soil fairly
well.-Exchange

San Francisco. Nov. 1s.-The question
was threshed out before the American
Federation of Labor to-day with the re-
suit that a resolution protesting against
the Introduction Of military propaganda
in the public schools was voted down.
The session was marked by several
demonstrations Kisses coming from var
ious parts of the hall when speakers on
the platform were setting forth their
views as to why the resolution should
not be passed.
President Samuel Gompers said he was
opposed to militarism. but that he would
like to see the farmer. the worker and
the people In general, thoroughly trained
and organized.
I'm in favor OF international peace.
Use the boycott against the nation that
flies in the face Of the world he said.
The seamen's act was endorsed unani-
mously to-day by resolution. Opposition
was expressed to any efforts to weaken
the measure and regret was voiced at the
Interpretation of several provisions by the
department Of commerce.
I'VE protest most earnestly" read the
resolution against any weakening of this
legislation and we urge that 1t be
strengthened in its safety provisions.
, I'VE regret that the department Of COM

teacher of the world and the final arblter
in things of taste.
"Out of Plato" says Emerson, "come
all things that are still written and de-
bated among men of thought" It U.s. at
least, certain that all of the germs Of
philosophic thought are to be found in the
teachings of the Greek philosophers who
sought their followngs in Athens, down
to the time OF Aristotle. In poetry, Greek
genius created the forms and left models
for all ages. In sculpture and in archi-
lecture Grecian achievements still stand
unsurpassed and the ruins upon the Acrop-
oils suggest structural beauties never
since attained, while innumerable sculp-
tured masterpieces OF the Greeks fill al
coves in all the more important museums
in the world. Such was the wealth Of
sculptured treasures in classic Athens,
that one ancient wag declared that 1t was
easier to find a god In the city of Pallas
than n man.
To Athenian Socrates, rather than to any
other savant before or after him. belongs
the honor OF having called into being that
inductive. optimistic science which to-
day forms the warp of our civilization.
With the homely, keen-witted and argu-
mentative Athenian began that habit Of
thought which hopes, In time. to discover
the answer to all things In the things

Greeks are still the models of taste after
