the garden maker who undertakes
to keep his garden cultivated
without the use of a file will not
be wise Every form of garden

good file at frequent intervals
makes this a simple matter. The
gardener will find it worth while
to have a file with a wooden or
rubber handle attached, which will
slip into his pocket whenever he
goes into the garden, and which
he can reach at moments

allowed to get dull and rusty, the

ART AND RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D., IL D. D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

AS we near the Christmas season we
realize more fully the contribution that
art has made in making more vivid the
story of Bethlehem with its Blessed
Mother and Holy Child. Probably the
greatest paintings that the world master
artists have produced have had to do
with the incidents which Christmas sug-
gests. The greatest of these masterpieces
is doubtless Raphael's Holy Family"
which hangs in the gallery in Dresden.
1t is in a room set apart, and as one
enters it he notes the significant sign:
"Silence." 1t is quite evident that Ra-
phael took for his type of the Blessed
Mother an Italian. Each artist who has
portrayed the Holy Family has inevitably
used those of his own racial type to ex-
press his ideal of the Mother and Child.
There is fine significance in this fact.
1t is the natural yearning of the artist
to trace in his own race the divine quail
tiles of the greatest of mothers and the
holieSt of children. Art and music have
served to enrich and interpret the deeper
meaning of this happiest of days.
At this season of the year from every
part of the world may be heard, and in
every language, the carols that tell in

Christmas day. The peculiar value of
the contributions which art and music
have made resides in the universally Of
the language they speak. They need no
interpreter. They are understood of all
men. No single incident in the long span
of human history has given such inspira-
ton to painter and musician as has this
story of the birth of the Christ Child.
The choicest of canvasses seeks to por-
tray it; the finest and most appealing in
music strives to interpret it. No matter
how callous and unresponsive we may be
we are bound TO be sensitive to the finer
impulses of our nature that are evoked
by the artists brush and the musicians
score 1t is good that this is so. To be
so immersed in the concerns of business

Another Default Day.

Another December Is is at hand, and
once again our twelve European war
debtors, with the single and honorable
exception of Finland, will let the date
pass without accounting either for the
semi-anrual installments now due or for
arrears. The delinquent nations are
apparently content to let matters rest
where they have been since default be-
came the fashion, even though persistent
neglect subjects them to the stigma of
being definitely repudiationist states.
\ In general, like Great Britain, the
debtor governments take the position
that international economic conditions
have not yet been sufficiently rehabili-
tated to justify any substantial efforts
in the direction of liquidating the obli-
cations. AS funded, these stand in the
books of the United States Treasury at
something like $12,0O0000,000. At what
a heavy rate defaulted installments are
piling up is indicated by the fact that
in the case of Great Britain alone they
aggregate roundly $500, 100000. Britain
emphasizes that it has no intention of
repudiating its obligations" but believes
the primary question for settlement is
the total amount that should be paid,
having regard to all circumstances"
None of the nations in question can
contend that this country has proved a
harsh creditor. Beyond passage of the
johnson act in April, 1884, whereby coun-
tries in default are debarred from fur
ther access to the American money mar
ket, the United States has taken no
action of any kind to enforce its claims.
In message to Congress in June, 1884,
President Roosevelt said; I'VE are using
every means to persuade each debtor
nation as to the Sacredness of the obli-
CATION, and also to assure it of our will
ingness, if so requested, to discuss frankly
and fully the special circumstances re-
lating to means and methods of pay
ment.' That pronouncement remains
this Governments policy as of today
readiness to consider in a spirit OF utmost
good will any payment or adjustment
proposition that may be put before us.
The American people look upon the
war debts as obligations justly due, even
if uncollectible. They propose to carry
them as such in the Governments &C
count books. Cancellation sentiment
no longer exists here on any appreciable
scale. Uncle Sam must simply bide his
time, waiting hopefully for world busi-
ness improvement to attain such proper
tions as will impel the debtor countries
some day to approach the United States
in settlement mood, as they are in honor
bound to do.
The former allied states have a vast
interlocking debt situation of their own
to adjust. They may on future occa-
sion even try to salvage portion of
German reparations. Until progress has
been made in Europe in these several
directions it is idle to expect that any
move will ever be made to square
accounts in Washington.

Fifty Years Ago
i'm The Star

On the 6th Of July 1885. Louis Pasteur
made his first innoculatlon for the treat
ment of rabies in
fasteur anu Paris. Its success led
Hvdronhohia to further researches
in the nature and cure
nf germ diseases. The Star of Decem-
Der IT, 1885, says:
1T is rather curious that Pasteurs dis
coveries in the treatment of hydrophobia
should come just at time when there
seems to be almost an epidemic of rabies
among dogs. Possibly the interest in his
discoveries may have attracted more gen.
eraI attention in cases of hydrophobla,
but the statistics show that within few
months there has been an unusual num-
Der of deaths from the bites of mad dogs
MANY believe that the disease OF rabies,
like other diseases, may take on an cpl
denic form; and if so it may be true
that we are now passing through such
a dangerous season.
BE this as it may, the public is taking
the keenest interest just now in the
general subject of hydrophobia. Dogs
run everywhere in the streets and are
domesticated in very many homes, where
they enjoy the status almost of members
of the family. And if it is true that
these universal companions are now ex-
posed to a distemper which threatens
the lives of their masters, that fact is
of an Importance that can scarcely be
exaggerated.
THE interest felt in the subject both
here and in England, where remark
able number of cases of hydrophobla
have recently occurred, has resulted in
the throwing of much new light on the
causes and symptoms of the malady.
DR.. George Fleming. an English author
ity on the subject, declares that the dis
ease is not epidemic, but should be
treated as such. He urges the Severest
measures of precaution. He says that
rabies is of slow incubation and that all
dogs should be muZzled for two years.
All stray dogs should be killed and their
bodies burned DR.. Fleming locates the
virus not in the blood, but in the brain
fluid and spinal cord. He regards the
notions that angry dogs cause rabies
and that rabid dogs will not taste water
as popular fallacies. On this SIDE OF the
water scarcely less interest prevails on
the subject than in England and France.
Almost every day we find in the news
papers fresh accounts of bites. Thus
a mad dog was killed in the streets Of
Milwaukee yesterday, after he had tried
to bite several persons, and child has
Just died in that city who was bitten
some weeks ago. A rabid dog was killed
in Jersey City yesterday also. The senti-
ment among physicians is that while the
danger may be exaggerated there exists,
for some reason, greater predisposition
than usual among dogs to become rabid
and hence that all proper precautions
should DE used to avoid accident.
"At yesterdays session of the National
Veterinary Association in this city, DR..
Plagemann advocated the treatment OF
patients with water of ammonia, which
he said was the only safe agent to en-
ploy. 1t is held that the ammonia, being
alkaline in reaction. has the power of
destroying the virus"

A GOrdian Knot to Cut.

Brave men never have hesitated to cut
the Gordian knots of life. And the
District Commissioners will have the
support of large and grateful public
if they decide to make joyous the Christ
mas of the poor of Washington by spend
ing Immediately portion of the relief
money available now but theoretically
designated for distribution after the first
of January.
The problem is illustrated, tragically
enough, by a story which went the
rounds of the press in New York at
Yuletide several years ago. A boy had
gone to the metropolis, like one Of
Horatio Alger's heroes, to make his for
tune" But fortune just then was not
easy to make, and the lad drifted into
the bread line of the city of his dreams.
His father, at home in a town in the
West, knew of the youngsters plight and
could have helped him. Some curious
personal whim, however, prompted delay.
The remittance so drastically required
was held back until Christmas. And
when it was delivered, a policeman re-
ceipted for it. The unfortunate boy
had passed beyond the need of assistance
a few hours earlier-slain by his own
hand. Hopes that should have kept him
courageous for the battle had vanished.
Only pride remained, and under its in
duence the lad threw away the broken
gift of life.
Psychologists, studying human trou-
bleS, understand the difficulty. Christ
mas is hideous to people who are in
distress. Indeed, it is because the world
is familiar with that fact that the annual
Yuletide charities have been established.
But this year so much is wanted, so many
are applying, that private agencies can
not meet the demand. Careful inves-
tigation has shown desperate need for
the prompt employment of Federal
funds to meet the bare daily necessities
of life for literally thousands of Wash
ingtonians for the balance of December.
OF course, everybody realizes that Con-
gress tied the strings of the purse it
gave into the charge of the Commis-
sionerS. But, remembering Shakespeares
declaration about the efficacy of timeli-
ness, no one will object If they cut the
strings. There certainly is no efficiency
in waiting for the sake of waiting. Far
more defensible, if any excuse be
wanted, is reasonable haste in the in
tereSt of mercy.

apparatus was many minutes slower in
reaching the scene of the alarm than
usual. Utter confusion prevailed. For
tunately there was no fire ct all, the
alarm being false" and so no damage
was done by this blockade. Yet If a
blaze had occurred with conditions
leading to quick development serious
catastrophe might have resulted. p
When an alarm sounds which calls
fire apparatus across the lanes of heavy
travel at an hour of congestion there Is
no way to give general warning signal
for the stoppage of vehicles and permit
the passage of the apparatus. Expert
ments have been tried in the past with
sirens and lights to give such warnings,
but they have not availed. A central
sound signal for that purpose would
have to be of great power with wide
range of audibility and, furthermore, to
be effective it would have to be tmme-
diately obeyed. In the rush of the traffic
at the peak point such as Immediately
after the closing of the Government de-
partments, as in yesterdays case, no
system of signals, whether sirens, bells or
lights, could effect clearance for the
apparatus if drivers do not Immediately
observe the warnings given and make
room for the f1remen.
It behooves all drivers of motor cars
when the sound of the fire apparatus is
heard to halt until the course of the
bumpers and other units of the Fire
Department is determined. The most
effective cooperation for public safety
requires that every street crossing be
regarded as a pre-empted right Of way
for the apparatus until the alarm is
answered. Yesterday, with four lines of
cars on each side of Pennsylvania
avenue and with street cars on the
tracks, several of the engine companies
were absolutely blocked, whereas If at
the first sound of the fire signal all
drivers had moved in toward the curbS
as far as possible and halted, lanes
would have been opened to permit the
passage.
This is one of the most difficult hazards
of fire fighting. 1t can be corrected only
by scrupulous needing of warnings, with
an effective understanding that the
flremen always have the right of way.
