THE NEW YEAR

"l4ope springs eternal in the human breast" and New Years day Is essentially day of hope We give expression to the spirit of hopetuness by the making of good resolutions this day; and III spite 0! the fact that these many cases Short-llved, this custom is in itself hopeful sign It will be a sorry day indeed for the human when the desire 10 combat the old Adam that IS sad to be inherent in all of us dies out and we are content to let our naturally perverse inclinatlons have full sway.
 The Chinese have New Years custom which commends itself to the emulation of the western peo- pIes It IS customary for good Chlnaman to llqul- date all his debts on the last day of the old year. that he may start the new year with clean slate, and the Chinaman who is unable to do this considers himself dsgraced Not the material side of this cus- tom is what should appeal to us. although that is commendabe enough but would 1t not be much better and more endurabe world were it possible for each of us 10 start with clean slate this New Year n,ornng-with all the animosities, jealouses and hatreds rubbed out and relegated to oblivion? And when we consider how small an atom the human being IS in the general scheme of things, and how comparatively brief our stay on this planet is, does it not seem that we are wasting tune and oppor- tunitles trifing grievances and dlsappolnments? ?
 The great hope of humanity this New Years day will be centered Tn the termination of the great world sruggl that continues its wasefu course in Europe. Will another New Years day see the gigantic crime continued or will reason and sanity yet prevail and the millions who are now struggling at each other s throat be allowed to return to the peaceful avoca- lions from which they were called by a war that no matter how 1t terminate must crush with its weight oi woe and misery generations yet unborn?

NAPOLEON AS EDITOR

Napoleon's one chance to get even with his foes on the British press was to return their fire in his own official paper, the Mon iteur, where he showed himself a pretty good fighting editor, with ready command of a large and brilliant vocabulary of vltu- peration. It was in the columns of the Moniteur that he labeled England "a nation of shopkeepers turned filibusters," and de- scribed her government as the rule of a mad king and a prime minister who was Ike an old nurse," while through the same medium he spread abroad the report of the unhappy necessity that actually had arisen of placing George III in a strait jacket
 Finally he inserted in the Moniteu- re port from General Sebastiani, Corscan whom he had sent on a scouting mission i'll the East declaring that France could re capture Egypt with 6,O0O men, and he re- piled to British military preparations with the announcement that France would have 500,0O0 soldiers to avenge the republic against England. At those thrusts the Brit ish lion roared the louder, and the speech from the throne proclaimed still further measures for the defense of the island realm.
 At the very next session of the English parliament after the signing of the treaty of peace the kings speech had breathed war like spirit to which Napoleon retorted by sending this extraordinary challenge to Lon don: 'The first consul is but 33 years old. As yet he has destroyed none but states of the second order Who knows what time it would take him. if forced to it, to change anew the face of Europe, and to revive the empire of the West ?"-"In the Path of Ma poleon,' by James Morgan
