of the mother of playmate whom
he accidentally killed, 7-year- old
Irving Dezendorf was given his free
dom yesterday when he was ar

rose in court when Irving was ar
raigned.
Your honor" she said to the

ment, and ask that he be permitted
to go home with his mother"
The magistrate then dismissed the
case.

OF THE EPIPHANY

Fair Eastern star, thou art ordained to
Before the sages, to the rising sun,
Here cease thy course, and wonder that
the cloud
OF this poor stable can thy Maker
shroud;
Ye heavenly bodies glory to be bright,
And are esteemed as ye are rich in light.
But here on earth is taught a different
way,
Since under this low roof the Highest lay.
Jerusalem erects her stately towers,
Displays her windows and adorns her
bowers;
Yet there thou must not cast a trembling
spark.
Let Herod's palace still continue dark;
Each school and synagogue thy force re.
pels,
There Pride enthroned in misty error
dwells;
The temple, where the priests maintain
their choir,
Shall taste no Team Of thy celestial fire.
While this weak cottage all thy splendol
takes;
A joyful gate Of every cnink 1t makes.
Here shines no golden roof. no ivory stair,
No king exalted in a stately chair.
Grit with attendants, or by heralds styled,
But straw ana nay enWrap q SpeecnleSs
Child.
Yet Sabae's lords before this Babe unfold
Their treasures, offering incense, myrrh
and gold.
The crib becomes an altar; therefore dies
No OK nor sheep, for in their fodder lies
The Prince Of Peace, who, thankful for
his bed,
Destroys those rites in which their blood
was shed;
The quintessence of earth he takes. and
fees,
And precious gums distilled from weeping
trees;
Rich metals and sweet odors now declare
The glorious blessings which his laws
prepare
To clear us from the base and loathsome
flood,
or sense, and make us fit for angels food,
Who lift to God for us the holy smoke,
OF fervent prayers with which we him in
woke,
And try our actions in the searching fire,
BY which the ~seraphims our lips inspire;
No muddy dross pure minerals shall In
feet,
We shall eXhale our vapors up direct;
No storms shall cross, or glittering lights
deface
Perpetual signs which seek a happy place.

Gold PIacers Throughout
Eastern Siberia Are Rich;
Can Be Worked With Ease

From time immemorial Siberia has
been known to Russians as the Gold
en- Bottom" and this not without a
reason.
The great gold placers scattered
throughout eastern Siberia tempted
and attracted e%nterprising in iividuals
for many centuries, through their rich
ness and the ease with which they
could be worked.
Only the severity of the climate
and lack of adequate transportation
together with Indifference on the part
of the government prevented the ST.
berian gold fields from becoming the
greatest in the world.
Alluvial gold was first found in the
Province of Eniseisk in 1880. After
wards gold was discovered in great
amounts throughout the whole prov
ince. The gold is found in many
cases in the sand Of rivers and small
streams.
The geological formation of these
deposits varies, but in many cases
shows proclamation of slate rocks.
The thickness of gold-bearing strata
varies in places from IA feet to q
feet, and their extent from fve-tenths
to 80 miles.
The proportion of gold is also diff.
ferent, according to the depth of the
deposit. A thin layer of alluvium,
called turf" usually covers the gold
strata.

Big Jobs Are Filled by the
Men Who Produce the Results

Some men are cursed with the abili-
~ to do chores. They can do all the
little tinkering jobs well and can't get
busy with the big ones until all the
petty tasks receive attention. To be
sure the great man is master of details.
He will know. every step in his bust
ness. But he will delegate to others
what belongs to their work. No man
can be the brains for the whole bust
ness. Neither can he be the handy
man for the concern and direct its
policy at the same time. If he Is the
business Is small. Where you find a
man who delights more in winding the
clock that he does in keeping his desk
clear you can mark him factotum and
recommend him to any one of a thou
sand big firms that need a handy man.
But that's as far as he will get. The
big places are filed by men who get
down to business.

Should Learn to Know Trees
When Without Their Leaves

No tree lover should be content to
know the trees only in summer. The
summer trees may be more beautiful
than the bare trees Of winter, but it is
the leafless tree that most clearly be-
trays the specific arboreal c~haracteris-
tic. Leaves are distinctive, but the
distinction is somewhat superficial, for
the leaves are no more than the sum-
mer dress. When the leaves are gone
the tree stands o truly disclosed.
Yet comparatively few of those who
Familiarity know the trees Of summer
can readily recognize all their friends
in the honest nudity of winter.

Lake of Salt in Australia
Supplies an Immense Crop
Carts and Pl0Ws Are Used

In South Australia there Is a won
'derful lake of pure salt. 1t is a huge
depression in the earth which fills up
In the winter months. In the summer
the water quickly evaporates, leaving
a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface of the
lake has all the appearance Of being
covered with a sheet of ice. The salt
Is so thick that strong men and even
carts and plows can traverse 1t with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is a considerable body Of slug
gish warer. After the rays or the sum-
mer sun have played their part, the
salt is gathered. This is a simple
operation, the salt being raked into
heaps, making pyramids that are a
striking feature of the landscape. The
salt Is then shoveled into carts and
conveyed to various works to undergo
the process of refining.
Gathering the salt Is trying work on
account Of the great heat and the daz-
cling reflection, and 1t is often neces-
sary for the workers to wear colored
glasses to protect their eyes. After
the loose salt has been collected from
the surface a pillow is run over 1t,
when another harvest Of the valuable
material can be reaped. The yield
of salt from this strange lake amounts
to several thousand tons a year, and
it is among the finest o~btainable. The
take is several square miles in area
and is naturally a very valuable
property.

QuickIime Recommended to
Keep Potatoes From Rottine
When Stored in Damp Places

The French department Of agricul-
ture lately issued the following indi-
cations as to the best method Of pre-
serving potatoes against rotting, such
as is likely to occur in damp places.
by employing the proper method, it
is possible to diminish the dampness
within the piles where the air does not
enter or only c%irculates very slowly.
To avoid this, q substance which abb
serbs water and having no action up
on the potato must be employed, and
for this purpose it is found that lime
Is the best substance, as it costs least,
is easy to handle, and is best known.
In practice the method can be ap
piled in the following way. 1t Is to be
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being well cleaned be-
forehand, they commence to exude
moisture, and must be gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
quicklime, and each layer OF three or
four inches of well dried potatoes is
sprinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside of the pile. When sort
ing as above stated, the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
a dryer or baking in a furnace; or they
can be sent to a starch factory if one
is near by. AS to the amount of lime
to be used, the proper quantity is
about ten pounds Of lime to 1000
pounds of potatoes.
