up and taking them through the snow

had gathered into the sitting room.

3 p. M, when the president called
the business meeting. After all bust
ness had been transacted. a delicious
luncheon was served by the hostess.
Soon after all adjourned and were
taken to their homes in the sled.
Each and everyone expressed them
selves as having had an enjoyable
time. The circle meets again jan

where Mrs. Leahy and Mrs. J. f. Hol-

BALLOONS AND POISONED GAS.

BALLOONS AND POISONED GAS.
A new and ingenious method used
by the Germans for attacking the de-
tenders of fort with poisonous gas
is reported from Petrograd. Balloons
that are shaped somewhat like those
with which children amuse themselves
but larger, are used for the purpose.
Each balloon is filled with enough il
Illuminating gas to make it float, while
in bottom compartment is guam
tity of the poisonous gas. The bal
looms are set adrift on favorable
wind, and when they are directly
above the fort that is being attacked,
the German sharpshooters puncture
them with rifle bullets. The burst
ing of the thin covering completely
destroys the balloon. The illuminat-
ing gas rises, while the poisonous gas,
being heavier than the air settles into
the fort. 1t is reported that the pois-
onous gas from 1900 of these balloons
was dropped by this method into the
fortress at Ossowetz and that this
was the principal reason why the de-
tenders were able to hold the fortress
only two days.-From the January
Popular Mechanics.

THE NEW YEAR.

Will the New Year bring peace?
Peace in Europe will be the great
est gift the New Year can bring to
the world. The armies of the Allies
and the Teutons have been locked in
battle so long that the world has be-
come almost callous. Every day we
have read in the news dispatches ac-
counts of horrible fighting. Today
forty thousand men were wiped out.
Yesterday whole battalions were de-
cimated. The day before thousands
of men were caught in a trap and
killed. Reports state that Germany's
list of killed totals over 100000.
Beautiful cities and priceless works
of art have been razed. HELPLESS
women and children have been driven
by the enemy from their homes and
starved or thrown on the mercy of the
charitable. No longer are we affect
ed by the horror of these dispatches.
Our minds have refused to grasp the
tremendousness of it and we read the
war news with hardly more of a thrill
than we get from sensational mur
der. Recent dispatches from Europe
have emphasized the peace note. Ger
man socialists, apparently, are de-
manding that something be done to
end the slaughter. Austria likewise.
is ready for peace-in all probability.
has been for some time. 1t is not m
likely that France and England, de-
spite their assertions to the contrary
would be amenable if proper terms
could be obtained. The neutral world
Is crying for peace. Will the New
Year bring it? Nineteen sixteen will
hold much Tor the United States in
the way OF prosperity and progress.
We have reached a period of con-
struction which will begin this wear.
Many serious problems are before the
people for solution, and the tendency
is to ignore radicalism and to con-
,centrate our efforts on safe and
sane policy. But of all the gifts which
the New Year may have in store for
us, the greatest would be peace in
Europe.

CHEER UP!

These are dark days for the world.
The shadow of the war is heavier than
ever on all hearts, whatever their
sympathies. There is little exulta-
ton now even in victories, for we
know at what price of blood and
pain every victory is won. But there
are many things besides war in the
world. Except for our active imagi-
nations, most of us would feel life
running on pretty much as usual.
There is the same sunshine, the same
life-giving air, the same autumn COL
ors in the woods, the same joy in
bountiful harvests. There is the same
quiet satisfaction of soul that has al
ways come with the fall season,
whether in country or city. Here, in
our American isolation, we can live
out our lives in spite of wars and
rumors of war. There is need, to be
sure, of taking thought for the fu-
ture, preparing against the time when
war may bring home to us the
wretchedness that we knew half a
century ago and that Europe knows
today. But that is matter of calm
decision, not for alarm and fear. We
are today the most fortunate nation
in the world. There is no reason why
we cannot continue so. 1t is a good
time for the nation to take to heart
the philosophy that is preached so
much today to individuals-the phil
osophy of confidence, of optimism, of
positive thought. 1t is right and
proper that we should feel the woes
Of Europe, and it is our duty to al
leviate them all we can. But it is
wrong to let those woes weigh on our
spirits until we lose our own buoyancy
and poise. 1t is better to regard the
war as doctor or a nurse regards
sickness-as something to be cured,

BOTTLE THROWS CONFETTI.

Americans, when in the mood for
throwing confetti, or rice, or old
shoes, generally do it by the sackful.
A French dealer has figured out what
he evidently considers more refined
way, says the January Popular Me-
chanics magazine in an illustrated ar
ticle. Just beneath the stopper on an
imitation champagne bottle he places
charge of confetti in capsule.
Upon opening the bottle a spring
mechanism shoots the confetti out
into the faces of the would-be i'm
bibers of spirits. The innocent ap-
pearance Of the bottle, together with
it's possibilities as a present for new
ly welded couples, or New Years
celebrators, or the like, has made it a
novelty of some attraction among
practical-joke enthusiasts.
