OH for an old fashioned New Year day,
With enjoyments keen and pure,
When fun and frolic reigned supreme
Good fellowship the lure.
As we iourneyed to the parties
Afoot, perchance by sleigh,
The atmosphere seemed. laden with
Best wishes of the day.
With good old hearty hand shakes
We knew were welcome grips,
Instead Of the present method of
Just touching the finger tips.
How we merrily danced the lancers,
Danced it with a zeal,
Also the polka and minuet,
And jolly Virginia reel
How the young and old enjoyed It
Each in his separate way,
Youth thinking Of the present,
Age of the bygone day.
While times and vogues may change, alas,
And natures will obeys,
I'll stin retain retain sweet memories Of
The good old fashioned ways.

JEWS DISCUSS PROBLEMS.

NEW YORK, July '. - The eXecu- tive committee of the Independent Order of B'nai Birth, at the conclu- sion of two days session yesterday voted not to participate in the pro- posed conference or congress of vari- 'ous Jewish organizations to consider the situation of the Jews as the re. suit of the war. The order decided, however, to appoint commission or two or more members to visit the Flu ropean countries and place before the
 representatives of the various govern me~ta the claim of the Jewish people for equal civil and political rights.
 The committee decided not to par ticipate in the conference because as m international organization 1t could not. in the spirit of it's constitution, commit the European membership to the action of an assemblage composed of American Jews exclusively.

ALL BOATS MUST SHOW LIGHTS
 0R PAY

Many complaints recently have been made that the owners and masters of motor boats operating out of Cordova and in this vicinity are careless as to following the regulations, which pre- scribe that certain lights shall be shown by the vessels.
 The regulations governing the equip ment of motor boats and as to when the lights shall be shown is very ex- plicit, and a fine of $1OO is provided for any violation.

 Among other requirements the act provides:
 Every motor boat of classes two and three shall carry the following lights;

The glass or lens shall be of not less than the following dimensions:
 Class Two Nineteen square inches.
 Class Three. Thirty-one square inches.
 Second. A white light aft to show all around the horizon.

British Afforestation,

Afforestation as a national under
taking is being kept insistently be-
fore the British government. At a
meeting of the Scottish Arboricultural
society in Edinburgh the other day
resolution was adopted, in which the
government was urged to give facil-
tiles, and to provide funds for putting
schemes of forest tree culture into
operation. Afforestation carried out
on a considerable scale, it is averred,
would afford suitable employment, I'M
der healthy conditions, for large
and increasing rural population, while
It would also assist in solving the
problem of finding work and wages
for the large number of soldiers who
at the end Of the war on returning
home may not be able to resume their
former occupations. The matter Is
really one of some national urgency.
AS the chairman pointed out, the war
has made clear the dangerous extent
10 which Scotland has hitherto been
dependent upon foreign timber, for
since the outbreak of hostilities every
article in which wood is used has
gone up considerably In price.

Work of Japanese Girls.

For Japan's coronation ceremony Oh
taishosal next November 81 pretty
young women have been assisting In
transplanting the young emerald rice
plants in the sacred fields of the
Mikawa province. Half way to their
knees in water, they toiled daily, like
their less privileged sisters, at the
work. Bending down, they laid the
tiny shoots in place, and rising, sang
sacred Shinto songs, for the rice
grains of the rare festival must be
perfect in shape and color-true
seed pearls of the Way of the Gods.
The girls are from sixteen to twenty
one years old. OF these things the
papers took note. The photographers
snapped them in their coming and do
ing and going. Not only from the
neighborhood but from afar have
come insistent marriage proposals,
and all but one are said to be en-
gagged and are to be married the day

IDOL IS A PUZZLE.
Carving at Copan, Honduras,
Mystery to Scientists.
Evidently Intended to Represent Ele,
plant, But Strange Thing Is
Where the Sculptor Could
Have Got His Model.

Where did the prehistoric inhabit-
ants of Central America get their idea
of an elephant as modelled in an elab-
orately-carved idol at Copan? For
there never were any elephants in
America. DR.. G. Elliott Smith of the
University of Manchester, England,
writes to Nature that this is certainly
a picture of an Indian elephant
1T is equally clear" writes Pro
lessor Smith, that the sculptor of the
monument was not familiar with the
actual animal, for, according to Doc
tors Maudslay and Seller, he has mis-
taken the eye for the nostril, and the
auditory meatus for the eye, and rep
resented the tusk mote it's relation to
the lower lip and the ventral surface
of the trunk in a conventionalized
manner, without any adequate realiza-
tion of the.true nature Of the features
he was modelling.
Having converted the auditory
meatus into an eye the sculptor had
to deal with the auditory pima, the
zle to him. He solved these diff.
culties by converting it into a geo
metrical pattern, which, however, he
was careful to restrict to the area oc-
cupied by the relatively small pima
that is distinctive of the Indian spe-
cies of elephant.
THE designer also lost his bearings
when he came to deal with the tur-
baned rider of the elephant No doubt
in the original model the riders leg
was obscured by the pinaa; but In the
Copan sculpture he has lost his trunk
also.
"All these features go to prove quite
conclusively that the sculpture repre-
sents an elephants head, and that 1t
was not modelled from the real crea-
ture. In other words, the craftsman
was copying an earlier model (presum-
ably made by some immigrant from
Asia) without understanding the
points of the elephant"
Professor Smith calls attention to
several other representations of the
elephant in America that possess many
strange details in common with the
earlier sculptured representations Of
that animal in India. Also that the
pre-Columbian Mexicans played the
complicated Indian game called pa
chisi, that some Of the Aztec picture
writings are series Of scenes taken
from the Japanese Buddhist temple
scrolls. He calls ludicrous the attempt
to identify these elephants with blue
macaws. and he cites many remark
able condolences between the attri-
butes of Tlaloc, the Mexican elephant
headed god of rain, thunder and light
ming, and those Of the Hindu Indra,
also god of rain, thunder and light
ming.
His conclusion is that the Hindu
god Indra was adopted in Central

CALLED POET SPOILED CHILD
Bayard TayIor's Opinions of Swim.
burne Makes Some Rather In
teresting Reading.

In all important respects except one
l found him to be very much what l
anticipated, writes Laura Stedman in
the North American Review, quoting
Bayard Taylor's impression of Swim
burne. The exception is instead of be-
ing a prematurely blase young man of
the world, he is rather a wilful, per,
verse, unreasonable, spoiled child. His
nature is still that of the young Shell
ley, and my great fear Is that 1t will
never be otherwise.
He needs the influence of nature
stronger than his in everything but
the imaginative faculty-such a nature
as Byron's was to Shelley. He
has weak moral sense. but his Of
lenses arise from a colossal unbal
anced affectation. This, or something
like 1t, is disorganizing element in
his nature which quite obscures the
organizing-that is artistic-sense

nation. 1t Is godlike quality, but he
sometimes uses it like a devil. He
greatly interests my intellect but does
not touch me magnetically.
He could have no power over me,
but on the contrary felt that should
be able to influence him in a short
time. I had a letter from him the
other day which shows that he feels
an intellectual relationship between
us. Now, this is not a question of
relative poetic power, but of certain
diversity of qualities, and l don't mean
to be egotistic in saying that might
perform somewhat of the same service
for him as Byron for Shelley. l feel
that (if it is not already too late) /
could help him to some degree of
poise, of system, of law; in short,
art.
In this sense he moves my deepest
sympathy, for | see now the matter
that might be nodded into splendid
poet relapsing into formless condi-
tons. 1t is sad, it is tragic, and If
this fancy of mine be foolish, there it
is, nevertheless. Without this sense Of
giving assistance week alone with
Swinburne would be intolerable to me
or any other human being.
