APT WAS Christmas morning.
Old Hiram Palmer sat by
the window waiting for the
postman. Christmas eve
had been rather bleak. He
had seen, from the window, groups of
people passing from time to time, hur-
rying, smiling, such gay, happy peo-
pie.
Hiram, was old, too old. He had
outlived his friends, his immediate
family, his day had long since gone
by. He had given generously to hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions and
a number Of personal presents. He
always, for example, sent some Of the
large baskets of fruit the towns lead
ing shop arranged so attractively, to
those he knew would never buy them
selves such delicacies.
The last Christmas he had only re-
ceived two presents. One from his
nephew out West and another from
a erandchild.
He was waiting for these now.
The postman came along the street.
Eagerly old Hiram waited. And then

tuberculosis Ebbs and Flows.

The decline of tuberculosis is lik-
ened to that Of leprosy by DR.. Louis
Corbett, lecturer in pathology at the
University of Cambridge. Leprosy was
formerly one of the worlds great
scourges, but has become practically
extinct in western countries. Tuber-
culosis seems to be following, as it is
declining at an increasing rate, its
deaths having fallen off nearly 60 per
cent since 1865. Apparent causes of
the change are lessened overcrowding,
otherwise improved social conditions,
more and better food, and the adop-
tion of methods of real ventilation.
The war has given tuberculosis new
lease Of life in European nations, es-
pecially in half-starved Austria, where
1t runs riot.

WILL TAKE LAND FROM SEA
People. Of Holland Meet Problem OF
Expanding Population in Charae-
teristic Dutch Fashion.

After many years deliberation the
people of Holland have decided that
they need more land, and, having
reached that decision, they have gone
about the acquisition of it with char
acteristic Dutch energy and determi-
nation, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The program contemplates the
building of 3O-mile dixie, across the
outlet of the Zuyder zee and gradual
reclamation of parts of that body by
means of smaller dikes and filling-in
and pumping process. The damming
of the north end of the Zuyder zee pre-
sents difficulties, not only on account
of the length of the dam, but also due
to the fact that at the Friesland shore
end the water depth varies from IL to
33 feet. The foundation of the great
dam will be, literally, billions Of all
sizes of tree branches, lashed together
into great bundles. These will be sunk,
forming a supporting mat of enormous
area. Upon this will be placed thick
layer of coarse crushed stone, and on
this powerful foundation will be rear
ed the masonry of the dixie.

ANOTHER SWAT FOR THE FLY
Supreme Court Of Maine Adds IL
Voice to Denunciation of Almost
Universal Pest.

The dog having had his day before
the Supreme court in Washington, we
now find the "busy, curious, thirsty
fly" preening his wings in the solemn
precincts of the Supreme court OF
Maine as co-defendant. He hnds
few sympathizers. For his size he IS
the most malodorous and detestabie
of beasts, and the mischief he does Is
immeasurable. In this case the court
Of appeal was told that summer
boarder had engaged rooms at hotel
for two weeks and had left. ut the END
of four days, declaring the flies intoi-
cradle. The Supreme court upholds
the plaintiff in his refusal to pay Tor
his infested accommodations.
The Journal of the American Med
ical association makes the case the
text of one of the most excoriating
denunciations of the fly that have been
penned; but will the fly carer
Not a bit of it. "a fly" wrote Elmer
son in his despair, 'is as untamable as
a hyena." Probably a fly was teasing
the sage of Concord as he wrote. The
best thing Josh Billings ever said was
d fy!" Shakespeare would
have said it if he had thought OF 1t.
AS carrier of pestilential putrescence
the fly is without a peer. The help OF
the Supreme court of Maine is well
come in putting him down.-Philadei-

Plant Diseases Costly.

Millions of bushels of grain, fruit
and vegetables and big tonnage OF
cotton were lost to American farmers
last year by plant diseases, according
to figures compiled by the plant dis
ease survey Of the Department of Ag-
riculture. The survey said that the
statistics indicate that lack Of prompt
application of known measures of con-
troll was largely the cause of the loss.
The plant disease survey estimated
the losses at 112,OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat, 50,000,0O0 bushels of oats, S0,-
100000 bushels of corn, 5O,0OO,0OO

game. The game was called at
$40 and was fast and clean.
Jimmie Hancock h d speed,
speed, speed. In fact h 9 ran
wild, and the farther the game
progressed the wilder he became.
The line up of Tiff: center, Root;
forwards, johnson, Hardesty, and
guards, Anspaugh, Snyder.
Local team: Hull, centre; Rob-
ison, Hancock. forwards; guards,
Poscoe, Clark.
Team work Of Tiff was splendid,
while the local boys showed the
lack of team work. However if
our fellows will give the game the
practice and take the training that
goes with successful playing, you
can look out.
