..t;jLO-JApANESE
alliance MAY END
United States, Great Britain,
Japan and France Included
in Substitute Program.

Washington, D. C.-The draft Of a
duadruple entente which would serve
as a substitute for the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, it was learned from authori-
tative sources, is now under consider.
alton by the governments of the Uni
ted States, Great Britain, Japan and
France.
This is said to explain the delay OF
the Japanese government in announc-
ing its decision concerning the ques-
ton of the ratio of naval tonnage, be.
cause it appears that as the problem
of warship tonnage is connected with
national policy, the two matters are
being discussed together
There was a growing impression
that if the entente can be worked out
satisfactorily Japan would not insist
upon her request for a 70 per cent
ratio of capital ships as against the
present go per cent suggested in the
American proposals.
1t is understood that the draft Of
the entente has been prepared with
special reference to the United States
constitutional system under which the
senate has the treaty-making power.

QUEER WAYS OF MISTLETOE
Popular Christmas Green Fastens Its
Roots on Sturdy Trees and Re-
ceiVes Nourishment.

at HE mistletOe is really a de-
generate for it is a parasite.
Instead Of being a healthy
- tree itself, it fastens its
roots upon the sturdy oak
and gum trees, and even depends on
others to have its seed carried to
places where they will grow. The
numerous pearly white berries cover
ing the mistletOe all winter attract
the birds. When a bird eats a cherry
he swallows the meat and drops the
pit, but the seed of the miStletOe is
sticky and clings to the birds bill. The
only way for the bird to rid himself
Of the annoying seed is to wipe it off.
This he does. on some branch Of the
tree on which he happens to be at
the time Later this seed sprouts, and
not finding earth. which it's habits
have made it cease to want, it sinks
its roots into the bark Of the tree and
there receives the richest nOuriSh
ment It keeps its leaves all winter
and when the oaks are bare its waXy
pale-green leaves stand out prOmi
nently against the dull brown bark

The Real Spirit.

Has the real Christmas spirit been
laid upon lis bier by a lot Of old
fogies who have lived too long to
sense the thrill of the holly and mis-
tletOe; whose Spectacles and whiskers
have debarred them from entering the
kingdom of pure delight where the
children wander; and whose dyspeptic
spirits have been warped with acid
bitterness until they can no longer
flow with the sweet JOY Of Christmas
cheer? MOI The real happiness
and the cheer that go with red-rib-
bOned wreaths and twinkling candles
peeplng and winking from between the
green of fairy Christmas trees; the
thrill of myriad toys stacked in chaotic
heaps; the mystery Of tissue paper
bundles; the secrets that fly back and
forth under the grave cover of seren,
ity; the smell Of spicy fruitcake and
the mellow aroma of holiday baking
are here. They are here as they are
always here when the holidays are
lust before us.-Evansville Courier.

MAKE MERRY ON CHRISTMAS
Calabrian MinstreIs of Rome, With
SiIvan Pipes, Started Celebration
Ten Days in Advance. a.

a ANHRISTNIAS used to be cele-
brated in Rome by the ar
rival Of Calabrian minstrels
with their silvan pipes ten
days before Christmas. In
every street of the historic city they
would play their wild, plaintive music
before the shrines of the Madonna.
These minstrels or "pifferari," as they
were called, became rare after the
latter part of the Nineteenth century.
In Sicily men came down from the
mountains nine days before Christmas
to sing a 'nOvena" to a plaintive mel
Ody accompanied by violin and cello.
The music of Ginning bells fea-
lures Christmas the world over In
the Philippines the dawn Of Christ
mas is ushered in by ringing of bells
in scores of church towers, calling the
people to service. In the dark they
flock to the churches to the familiar
notes of the "Adeste Fideles."
The music-lOving world agrees with
the stranger in Bracebridge hall, 81
do not know a grander effect Of music
on the moral feelings than to hear the
full choir and the pealing organ per-
forming a Christmas anthem in a
cathedral and filling every part Of the
vast pile with triumphant harmony"

PROHIBITION IN AMERICA

Sir Arthur Newsholne, late prin-
cipal medical officer to the local gov
eminent board of Great Britain, has
been in America for the last two
years. The correspondent of the
Journal Of the American Medical As
sociation reports his statement to the
Royal Society of Medicine on the re-
suits of study. Of prohibition.
"The results Of the first year of
prohibition in the United States"
said Sir Arthur, "are only partial;
although it is still easy for the mil
lionaire visitor to the United States
to get Intoxicating drink, for the vast
majority of the population alcoholic
drinks have become understandable or
too expensive for frequeRt indulg-
ence. Four out Of five Of the ply
sicians in the United States have not
taken out permits to prescribe alco-
hol, and in "a states no physician can
prescribe it. AS the result Of prohi-
DlLlOQ IlGIG Is I'LL C<~oSO PAOSPO-ASS
and the diversion of large sums tc
the purchase of better clothin, etc.
Rescue work in the large cities
has, in considerable part, been re
placed by preventive work. Drunk
enness and admissions to hispital
for acute alcoholism have shown re
markable decline. Although alcoho
is but one part Of the mesh Of evi
circumstances the shortcut towar
the removal of the evil which prohibi
bition has provided, promises to b
successful in diminishing not only dis
ease but also poverty and crime"
Sir Arthur expressed the opinio
that the fear that prohibition woul
lead to a similar ban on smoking
fantastic, and that the America
public will indorse the action take
and win insist on the extension al
continuance of prohibition.

VARIETY OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Commercial Handlers Of Fruit Must
Take Note Of Characteristics
to Avoid Disaster.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.f2
From whatever standpoint one may
approach 1t, 'the variety" looms large
I'm the fruit industry. The grower
wants particular sorts-fruits having
certain desirable and known eharnc-
teristics--in order that he may sup
ply certain trade demands. or be able
TO harvest at particular times or In
that are TO be derived from fruits pos
sessing certain qualities or characters.
In a similar manner, the trade-the
commercial handlers of frult--must
take note of varietal characteristics
otherwise. faults VIII develop In their
business that will be disastrous. Poor
keeping varieties will be. placed In cold
storage. when only bookkeeping yarie
ties have gained commercial promi-
nence very largely because of their
good shipping qualities when they
were seriously lacking In dessert or
other qualities.
The consumer does not know much
about variety names as a rule; bat II
the retailer with whom he Trades
would take pains To supply always
good dessert varieties when fruit Is
wanted for dessert purposes, and good
cooking varieties when they are de-
sired for cooking, everyone Interested
from the grower to the consumer
would be benefited thereby. However
as rule, by the time the fruit reaches
the retailer, apples are simply
"apples," peaches are just peaches
and plums are "plums" without much
regard to the use for which the con.
sumner wants them. Even with such
fruits as strawberries. blackberries
and the like there are variety adapta
tions from the consumers standpoint
but they are not always easy
to give full recognition even If one
were making an effort TO do so.
To return To the grower. After
careful study Of varietal characters
ties, he orders from nurseryinan, fol
example, the varieties of apple ant
peach trees that he has decided vii
give him the fruit that will best sup
ply the trade TO which he is TO cater

He waits three or four years after
planting for the peach trees to come
into bearing and perhaps six or eight
years for the apple trees to bear, only
to find, perhaps. that half the varl.
cites are not the sorts he ordered.
even though the trees, when he re
ceived them from the nursery, were
labeled according to his order. The
misnamed varieties may not fit at all
into the growers plans for marketing
and are. perhaps. practically worthless
to him.
1t requires no argument to convince
one that "the variety Is important to
the grower, once the problem is stated.
The misnaming of varieties In such a
case may be due to carelessness, to
Indifference. to sheer dishonesty,
or to entirely honest errors. The re-
suits so far as the grower Is con-
cerned, however,. are the same In any
case.
