Try this year to enjoy Christmas
cheer without whiskey. Christmas
is a celebration of the birth of the
Savior, who afterwards taught the vir-

What a mockery it is to make the
annual event one of bibulous hilarity!

JEWS AND coLoRED PEOPLE.

JEWS AND CoLORED PEOPLE.
There are, in this country, more
than 10,000,0 900 colored people, nearly
as many as there are Jews in the
entire world. The black man has
been fighting the race problem near
ly 200 years, and the Jews have been
fighting it 5000 years. Will the col
ored man continue to fight the race
problem or will he profit by the ex-
perience of the Jews? We have won
our freedom; we have our rights UNI
der the law regardless of the fact
that we are denied our privileges.
But could we unite our forces like
the Jew and turn our disadvantages
into advantages and give one-tenth
of the time, the energy, the influence
the contribution, the eloquent
speeches and the prominence that we
give to the discussion of equal
rights and the problem, to actual
work in organizing, promoting, sup
porting and maintaining business
corporations among our people, with
the industrial foundation we now
have, we could within a few years,
like the Jew, buy our way through
race prejudice and discrimination.

Aluminium Cheapened.

While experimenting with the in
tense heat of the electric arc, Sir
Humphrey Davy discovered metallic
substance to which he gave the name
Of aluminium, though he never sue
ceeding in isolating it. Twenty years
later Frederick Wohler, in Germany,
isolated this metal through the use of
potassium. In 1S45 he obtained it in
small malleable globules. In 1856 De-
vile, French chemist patronized by
Louis Napoleon, improved Wohler's
process and isolated aluminium in a
state almost pure. At this time the
metal was valued at 500 a pound. 1t
was produced in chemical laboratories
and used largely in the manufacture
of aluminium iewelry. The price has
now declined to Is cents pound.

.BANIsH GLOOM IN SUNSHINE
Nothing Like Plenty of Good Daylight
to Dive Away Sickness and
the "Blues."

If everyone could only realize the
tonic effect Of a little sunshine we
would be both healthier and happier.
Cover some green grass with q
piece OF carpet for a month and note
the result. The grass will have COM
pletely changed. 1t will have lost it's
color and become almost white. This
is exactly what happens to people. If
you live in dark, gloomy rooms you
cannot be rosy or entirely healthy.
Not only does lack Of sunshine inn
pair your health, but it affects your
mental attitude. You cannot be an
optimist and live in a gloomy place,
and who wants to be pessimist?
Many of the most dreaded germs
are completely annihilated by a con-
tinued application of sunshine. This
is the reason all modern hospitals are
built on the pavilion plan, which ad-
mits light on all sides.
Disease germs are not the only va
riety that dread the light.
The gerr2s that breed discomfort,
pettiness, jealousy and real unhappi-
ness are all bred in darkness.
Did you ever try brisk walk in
the bright sunshine when you seem to
be completely surrounded by all sorts
of "glooms?" It is simple remedy;
not costly one, but efFicacious. One
hour of such treatment will usually
rout whole regiment Of these pests.
If you haven't the energy for a
walk, put on wraps to keep you warm
and sit in an easy chair in the corner
of the porch In lieu of the porch
try raising southern window and sit
where the sun will shine on you. If
your gloom has not vanished in an
hour, you should consult doctor who
doubtless will prescribe for sluggish
liver, for sick liver will make even
rosy glasses reflect dark glow.

PECULIAR WELL IN FLORIDA
Both Salt and Ordinary Water May Be
Pumped From 1t at the Same
" Time.

In their investigation Of the wells
and underground waters of Florida the
biologists of the United States Geo.
logical survey have noted many inter
esting things. Among these is a well
at Welaka, on ST. Johns river, from
which two kinds of water are OBJ
tanned.
This well is 300 feet deep. The
length of the casing is 10 feet. The
well was first drilled to $50 feet, and
from this depth ordinary sulphur
water was obtained. The drill was
them carried to a depth Of 300 feet,
where it encountered strong miner
al water, having disagreeable, salty
taste. In order to use both kinds pf
water an inner tubing was run nearly
to the bottom of the well. Both this
and the olter casing were connected
with pumps, so that ordinary water
and mineral water can be pumped at
the same time. A favorite joke played
on visitors is to give drink Of weak
er water in the first glass and to re-
place it with the brine in the second.
Not more than half dozen wells of
this kind are known in the country,
but there is no reason why similar
wells cannot be obtained in regions
where the waters in the upper strata
differ from those lying deeper.

NeedfuI, But Utcpian.

Mayor Curley of Boston was talking
about certain reforms.
They'll come, guess" he said. In
time we'll have those and many other
municipal reforms. But at present
they seem utopian and impossible.
"Yes, such reforms seem as incred-
ible today as the fake dinner invita-
tion that was sent out by Boston
wag.
"This wag. wishing to rebuke the
parsimony Of a rich Back Bay host,
got up a fake invitation that read:
"'Mr. and Mrs. Back Bay Poultney
request the honor Of your presence at
dinner on Wednesday evening next at
eight o'clock. (Wine merchant and
cigar dealer both changed since last
dinner.) )"-Nashington Star.

LINGUISTIC.

cility. made a successful attempt to
read it. The fraudulent translation
was not discovered, and in due course
