THEN GAME THE MERRYMAKERs IN.

Power laid his rod OF rule aside,
And ceremony DOTTED her pride.
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage, as the crown.
Brought tidings OF salvation down.
The fire, with well dried logs supplied,
Went roaring up the chimney wide.
The huge hall tables osken face,
Scrubbed till it shone, the day to grace,
Bore then upon its massive board
No mark to part the squire and lord.
Then came the merrymakers in
And carols roared with blithesome din.
II unmelodious was the song
II was a hearty note and strong.
England was merry England when
Old Christmas brought his sports again.
Twas Christmas preached the mightiest ale
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale.
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer
The poor mans heart through half the year

chrysanthemums of Japan.

Although the chrysanthemum has
reached its highest form Of develop
ment In Japan, and Is still reverenced
as the imperial emblem, it was taken
to Japan from China, where It has
been brought to its highest state Of
cultivation. At the imperial chrysan-
themum party given by his majesty
the emperor of Japan In November ev-
cry year one sees the most marvellous
blossoms known to the f1oriculturist.
The number of blossoms from one root
is amazing. In one case no less than
700 flowers were seen growing from
one plant. The festival of the chrysan-

Hunsary,s Wonderful Salt Mines.

The great rock salt mines Of Hun
gary are among the wonders Of the
world, for the illimitable deposit Of
practically pure salt enables the work
men to cut it out in heavy blocks, much
as marble is Quarried, after which it
Is loaded on trucks and sent to the
mills for grinding. Rock salt, It may
be said. constitutes the worlds prin-
cipal supply of refined salt, and the
Hungarian mines furnish a consider
able portion of this commercial ne
cessity. Underground passages Of con-
siderable width. resembling streets,
have been cut at regular intervals, and
the whole is wen lighted. In one Of
the mines near the Roumanian boun-
dary a large chamber, with benches
and seats, has been cut, where Occa-
sional gatherings are held, and per-
haps in honor of this fact it IL known
as the ballroom" Here the colorings

The Seven .Wise Men Of ereece.

The seven wise men of Greece were
Thales Of Miletus. Periander of Cor
inth, Cleobulus of Lyndus. Chilon Of
Lacedaemon. Solon of Athens, Bias Of
Prienne and Pittacus of Mitylene.
Some fishermen of Miletus sold draft
of fishes to bystander. When the
net was draw in it contained golden
tripod, and the purchaser claimed it
was his. while the fishermen contend
ed that they sold only the fish that
might be in the net. The dispute was
referred to the oracle Of Delphi. who
awarded the tripod to the wisest man
in Greece. Thereupon it was taken to
Thales, who declined it and suggested
that it be given to Bias. He in turn
refused to accept it. and thus it was
successfully declined by all the seven.
and they were thereafter known as the
seven wise men of Greece.

Editor Williams, of the Cecil Whig,
views the announced candidacy of Vim.
T. Warburton, of Elkton, for Republican
Gubernatorial honors, much in the light
of a joke. He says: "The Whig, (like
most other folks in this neck of the
woods) does not take, with any degree of
seriousness, the talk of the Warburton
candidacy, In fact we have never heard
amongst Republicans the least reference
lat home or elsewhere in the State) to
his candidacy, except in the columns of
the Baltimore American, where the Dem
ocratic ofice-holder who dishes up the
Americans political stories breaks forth
occasionally with mild effort to boom
Warburton. But thus far the thing has
ended right therein the news columns
of the American, where most anyone can
get boost if he knows how to engineer
il and is willing to engineer it. In fact,
it is only the uninformed who attach any
importance to the political news articles
that appear in the American. Hence we
have felt no call to comment heretofore
on its occasional reference to Warbur-
toms candidacy"

Congress set out Monday on six-day
race with the waiting array of appropria-
ton bills. The Senate must dispose of the
big supply measures at the rate of nearly
800. 900. 900 a day if, according to
agreement among the leaders. it is to
bring the hsrd-fought Administration
Ship bill from the conference closet on
February At to debate it until noon
March a.
The plans for the ship bill are cloaked
in mystery. The leaders on both sides
agreed to put 1t in conference until Sat
urday, with the understanding that the
supply bills should be passed meantime
It's opponents declare it is dead and that,
If It Is not, they still have the means of
talking 1t TO death. That the conference
could make the bill acceptable to Admin.
istration Democrats, the insnrgent Sena-
tors of that party and the Progressive Re-
publicaus as we'll as pass the changed bill
in both houses is looked upon as doubt
ful. The death of some other measures
at this Congress also seems certain.
Among them are the bill to give great

Use independence to the Philippine Is
lands and the conservation bills. which
have been much pressed, to unlock the

Gubernatorial aspirant Linthicum de-
clares the candidacy of Senator Lee for
the same Office will in no wise interfere
with his campaign. AS soon as Congress
adjourns, Mr.. Linthicnm will take TO the
road and he promises that there shall not
be village, town or city in the state
that he will overlook. Campo gning, he
says, is his great forte and he has no
doubt that after he gets through with
his campaign. the people will answer in
his favor.
Both the Senator and. Congressman,
however, are greatly perturbed over the
possible extra session of Congress. which
would prevent much active campaigning
on their part.

Sensible Conclusion.

Sensible Conclusion.
The floating court" is an institu-
ton founded by the United States gov
ernment for administering Judgment in
the far north. An interesting example
of the unusual problems that confront
ed Captain A. ]. Henderson, one OF the
first judges Of the court, Is told by Mr..
Walter Noble Burns in the Wide World
Magazine:
One day, at Point Hope. there ap-
peared before the court held on the
Thetis, Captain Henderson's ship, an
old Eskimo and his wife. They were
accompanied by their pretty daughter
and two stalwart young men, who
were suitors for her hand. In choicest
Eskimo that sounded like series Of
explosions Of vocal dynamite, the ven
cradle father poured voluble tale into
the ears of the interpreter.
"This man, he say" began the inter-
prefer, these two feller want this gal
for wife. One feller he offer rifle, ten
pound whalebone, six walruS tusk, a
dog team and sled. The other feller,
he give kayak, two reindeer, a bear
skin and six fox skin. This gal the
old mans only daughter. He old, and
he want good trade. But he not know
which he best take. He say maybe
you tell him."
Captain Henderson is no Cupid he
stands six feet two and weighs $50
pounds-but he determined to essay the
role of Cupid's first assistant.

suitor.

love her."
"And do you love herT' the captain
asked the other.
"Yes, he love her too"
The captain looked at the girl, who
was a pretty little thing, something
over four feet high, with coal black
hair plastered down over her temples,
and sloe-black roguish eyes. Let no
one doubt the vital beauty Of Eskimo
maids in the flush Of youth and health.
"Here." said the captain to the girl,
(which one Of these men do you
want?"
The interpreter put the question.
The maiden's eyes grew brighter, her
cheeks a deeper crimson and a coy
smile wreathed her lips. She stepped
over to one Of the young men unhesi-
tatingly and touched him on the arm.
~This one," she said, and there was
NO need for the interpreter to translate

II Has No Value as Food, but It Has .
Stimulating Effect.
The infusion Of coffee presents prac-
tically very little material that is of
direct nourishing value, says a writer,
In the London Tablet, but by diminish
ing nervous fatigue, by virtue chiefly
of the caffeine present, it may increase
muscular power. 1t is not itself
builder of tissue. The use of coffee
after dinner. it is of interest to note,
is justified in large number Of cases.
by the fact of its stimulating effect
upon the vital centers, and it is said
TO serve to some extent as an antidote
to alcohol.
1t is commonly claimed to remove
drowsiness. As a matter Of fact, in
many subjects it produces drowsiness,
but this is usually followed by mark
ed wakefulness. The practice of drink
ing coffee after meal for the sake Of
the stimulus which is experienced has
much to be said in its favor dietet-
ically.
There is no reason for supposing that
coffee possesses any value as food.
The berry contains quite important
proportion of fatty substances az per
cent average). but these are necessari-
ly excluded from the infusion, as, owN
ing to their insolubility, they remain
In the grounds"
According to our analysis, the pro-
tein contents of a cup of coffee are
small, approximating to 1.25 per cent
of the coffee extracted. This amount
can have little dietetic significance.
There is also trifing quantity Of
sugar present, besides traces of alco-
hol, which again can possess no I'M
portance from physiological point OF
view.

WOOD FOR vIOLINS.
Maple Is the Best and ls What the Old
World Famed Makers Used.

Maple Is the Best and Is What the Old
World Famed Makers Used.
In the finest violins the body is
made of white maple. In cheap ones
violet ebony is used. In medium priced
ones alternate leaves of the two are
employed. The best wood of all is that
of the epicea, tree resembling fir
in general appearance, which grows In
central and northern Europe, but musi-
cal instrument makers set special
value on that from the Vosges noun
tains. Its wood is most homogeneous
and has the advantage over all others
that there is scarcely any difference
between the sap wood and the heart.
Violet ebony, which comes from Bra
I'll, Africa and India, is much used for
pianos. True ebony is now so expen-
sive that it is reserved for nuts and
twisters
Sycamore maple, somewhat less
homogeneous than white maple and
hence less sonorous, is employed chief
ly in making mandolins.
The wood of trees from high alti-
tudes and severe climate Is much
better than that from plains and
warmer countries for all purposes In
which sorority is desired. And it
should have had not less than 200 or
300 years of growth. and its concentric
circles should be no more than two or
three millimeters apart.
The ancient violin makers. Stradi-
varius, Amati. Guarnerius and the 9th
ers, used the finest and best seasoned
maple, and this, with their perfect var
nish, is why their violins have lasted

President Wilson's charge that The

President Wilson's charge that The Re-
publicans '.haye not had new idea in
thirty years" carries this period of men,
tai inactive back to 1885. Search the
records, and it will be found that in that
long space of time G. o. P. stateaman-
ship has mainly consisted in jacking up
the tariff in return for liberal campaign
contributions from protected heneficiaries.
Previous to 1885 the Republicans had
carried the Civil War to a successful
finish and had brought about the re-
sumption of specie payments. Progress
had also been made in civil service
reform. Since then, however, they have
done nothing toward improving the
banking laws, which the country had
outgrown; toward a fair and equitable
revision of the tariff, and toward solving
the Trust problem. 1t was left to the
Democrats to accomplish these three
great feats. For the last few years the

The American Red Gross makes report that
II cannot afford relief 10 the starving people OF
Mexico because of the operations Of the armies
In that country. Neither CarranEa nor villa
shows the slightest concern for his suffering
fellow countrymen. They have given but slight
attention to the appeal from President Wilson
that they get together. which was accompanied
by a warning that something might be done
from the outside TO tranquilise Mexico II the
warning factions failed to agree on plans to
establish a responsible government
II is quite easy TO understand why villa, who
is Just now on the losers end, might seek to
provoke Intervention, but why should Carranza
risk this danger 10 his designs? IL has been
rumored that Carranza is represented by an
Omaha man as his hired press agent, and that
the latter is trying to make the path TO White
House favor easy for the first chief" What
ever foundation this report may have need not
be seriously considered az this time. The fact
is that conditions in Mexico are not improved,
but seem to be worse, II anything, and the time
for a definite policy in Mexican matters cannot
be long deferred.
