Victor Herbert tells this story of two famous musicians:
 De Pachmann and Goldmark once met in front of the latter's Vienna home. Goldmark was a most esti- mable old chap. and. as everybody knows, writer of exceptionally bril- liant and melodious music, but his one great fault was his overwhelming conceit As De Pachmann and Gold mark walked away from the compos- CTS house the pianist pointed back ward and said:
 That modest little edffce will be signally distinguished some uay after you are dead.
 'Indeedl' said Goldmark
 Yes. continued De Pachmann, they will decorate it with a tablet.
 And what do you suppose they will say on the tablet?' asked the composer. eagerly.

When the Worlds All New.

It is the same old world that we greeted on New Years morning. But somehow it looked so different. The invisible dividing line between last year and this has made possible 8 new angle of vision. The grip of old passions seems to have lost its hold and a new purpose, partly old, partly new, throbs for recognition. A gen. tleness appears in faces thought to be hard and cynical. Happiness sparkles in the eyes of sad and lonely folk. sort of introduction Is need ed to oneself. For the dawn of the new year makes possible a fresh at- tack on the age-weary problems, another attempt to produce the best instead of the good, and a new walk down by-ways of human experience where one may be good Samaritan with no eye but his to see and understand The world is all new on New Years morning my world, your world, our world-to make over for the Kingdom. - Ralph Welles Keeler.

 They reported the result of their conference to General Villa at Chi huahua City.
 Late they had received no reply from General Villa and learned that after receiving their advices Villa gathered 400 or 500 men and left. His whereabouts are unknown. It is not improbable that Villa may be prepar- ing to take the field against his for mer organization.
 The surrender of the Villa organl- zation includes about 4,000 armed men, about To per cent of the rolling stock of the railroads of Mexico and the state of Chihuahua.
 According to officials foreign inter- ests in Villa territory have suffered loss of s5O,OO0,000 due to confisca- tion and thefts of ore. cattle and other property and the depreciation of Will la currency They charge churches were stripped of their treasures, banks footed and that murder and terror ism reigned.

Fruit Trees Along Roadside.

J. H. Taylor recommends the plant ing of fruit trees for shade along country roads. He suggests that the owner of a row of maple trees gets no fruit from them, and that he might plant fruit trees in the same spirit, letting travellers have what they de sired as they passed along. It is not uncommon to meet with nice apple, pear or cherry tree now along coun- try roads, but in the vicinity of cities, where boys are numerous. they play havoc with such trees

How Crack Scotch Regiment, the Sea forth Highlanders. Ushers in

The Seaforth Highlanders, one of Scotland's 8 crack regiments now at the front, have one of the most peculiar New Years eve customs of the whole British army. The ceremony is pie turesque and imposing.
 On the night of Hogmanay, at about 10:30 o'clock, the regiment assem- bles in the barrack square. A few minutes later the oldest soldier in the battalion. dressed as a Druid, makes his appearance to the accompani- ment of flourish of trumpets. As cending the improvised throne, he calls on the veterans to show their uniforms and achievements of bygone times To the music of the pipes and brass band veteran after veteran. ar rayed in the uniforms worn by the reg iment at different periods. marches past and salutes the Druid.
