Christmas The ever steady, revolving wlieel of time soon wil] usher in another Christmas—that of 1910. Ves Christmas is coming. The ishci.) svirrdov; shovrs are on in their full glory, newspapers are suff^restint? early shopping to avoui rush, and their advertise ments arc mentioning toys, toys, and well all sorts and kinds of pretty things, costing from a few pennies on up and up; men wo men and clvildren have that Chriscm.as smile spread over their faces and they are moving around in just a little more of a hurry then usual; and we are finding mysterious bundles, in. still more m\'sterious places—yes there is no doubt that Christmas is drawiiig near. Ah! many are the hearts that are being made light and joyous by the thoughts of the approach ing day of all days, but alas many are they to whom it will bring no joy, they whose lives are full of sori'ow, whose, hearts are bowed dov/n with grief and sadness—to wnom Xmas joys are but a mocksry. Yonder is a home that is full ofT joy. All ihe ^nmates are there. None outs de, all there. Peace and happmess within, Here is another home. It too, last Xmas was a happy one, the family circle w'as unbroken; but alas! the death angel has visited it since then, and left a vacant chair, and hearcs filled with an guish. Yonder is one who is blessed with the precious boon of health: here another is lan guishing upon the bed of afflic tion. Yonder is a child who is loaded down wi :h costly presents: here is another who has scarcely enough bread to eat. Ah, such is life! But whatever our sta tion in life may be—whether we are poverty stricken or blessed with abundance, whether we are lying upon the bed of afflic tion or enjoying the best of health, whether we receive a hundred gifts or not one: let each and every one of us banish all thoughts of self, as our lov ing Saviour did, and make the world a little brighter— and none of us are too poor to do this—by giving those around us pleasant smiles and kind words for, ‘ ‘They are worth a million dollars and do not cost a cent. ’ ’ r.TJBY EVRON. Keep The World's Peace. Pbilmlelpbia lvw.'t>ni. The United States, free of en tangling alliances with other great powers, powerful in point of population and natural resourc es, protected from successful for eign invasion by distance and great intervening seas, and at peace with all nations, are in a peculiarly favorable situation to take diplomatic lead in the effort to make the firm establishment ©f international peace a great international undertaking. The success of The Hague tribunal in the arbitrament and final settle- wient of long-standing, irritating disputes, that had outlived years ®f ineffectual diplomatic attempts for comproEnise, opens the way to the ademption of still more ef fectual means of abolishing fu ture wars. Steps which have been taken by our government in urging ®ther powers to unite in endow ing The Hague tribunal with the functions of an arbitral court of justice, and the further proposal, approved by Congress, to as semble an international peace commission to consider the ad visability of using existing diplo matic means for bringing about an international limitation of armaments and for turning the combined fleets of the world into an international force for the preservation of universal peace, put this country in the lead in peace championship.

Washington, Dec. 16th.—The events of the week in Congress have been full of interest and thei'e are indications pointing to that the national legislature may be able to accomplish during the present short session. Among the most interesting is ah appa rent agreement between the in surgents and the regulars in the Senate on tarriff question, re lating particularly to the conside ration of special subjects, as for example, the wollen schedule, the cotton schedule, lumber coal, etc., separately and without con sideration of the tariff question as a whole. There is also appa rently a much closes agreement in Congress with reference to the support of a bona fide tariff' commission for a thorough and honest investigation and report upon this question. ' The capital of the U. S. is, as usual during the Congressional >iession, the arena of conventions or the stagefrom which great enterprises are launched. What could be grander than the pro posed national park to extend from Baltimore to Washington and to include two hundred thou sand acres of lorest, hill and dale It is estimated that the cost will be six millions of dollars. The two cities are practically forty miles apart, but they are connect, ed by two' steam roads, two elec tric roads and by a boulevard al most completed, over which au tomobiles pass in less than, an hour. There is much lobbying in Con gress by two provincial cities, New Orleans and San Francisco, to have Congress appopriate for Internationpl Exposition in cele bration of the completion of the Panama Canal. Both of these cities are as it were, on the “jumping off” places of the country, one of the Gulf’s edge and the other on the Pacific, both of them remote from renters of poi)ulation; and while they do not want financial assistance, but only notional recognition, every one knows what that means in. the beginning. The proper situa tion for a National Exposition in celebration of so great an event, should be at the capital of the Country. There is now no city in this hemisphere better adapt ed to an International Exposition than Washington, D. C. The Por.omac Park is practically with in ^:he center of the city, easily accessible to every part of it, and Washington is within five hours of New York, three hours of Philadelphia, forty-five minutes from Baltimore, and v,rithin twen- ty-;;our hours of Chicago, Cleve land. Cincinnati, Louisville, At; lan ta and all intermediate places' .Windrow Carnegie, whose bene factions amount now to 280 mil- lioKS of dollars, has just added a denation of ten millions of dol lars for the promotion of peace throughout the world. The na tions will continue to build battle- shi]3s and levy armies, but it is imp»os8ible that a donation so munificint shall not have the influence of its inspiration. The Secretary of War has just retur ned from a trip around the world and has startled Congress by a confidential document sent to the Hoiise of Representatives stating that this country is unfit for war lacking the right kind of men, guns, amunition and fortlfica- tiors. This confidential report is said to be sensational in its de tails. In view of Mr. Carnegie’s ten million dollars donation to the cause of peace, this report from the Secretary of War is pecaliarly clashing. It would seem highly unwise i to attempt any changes of postal i raies with so lew facts available i as to the relationship of one part I of the business to another. For I many years second-class matter has been carried by the Govern- ' ment at one cent a pound. Under I existing rates the Post-Ofhce I would be earning large profits 'except for the franked matter I carried free and the un,profitabie i iree-delivery services. The par- ■ cels post will make the rural delivery self-sustaining. But even with these things as they are, the deficit is very small and with caireful adminstration _Mr. Hitchcock will have it all wiped out within six months. A pro posal, therefore, arbitrarily to in- j crease the rate on second-class I matter would seem ill-advised. ! When such a proposal' was first I made by Mr. Taft, the newspa- I pers protested vigorously and the {proposition was changed to one j that should distinguish between I newspapers and periodicals. Mr. Taft proposed to increase the rates on periodicals without in creasing those on newspapers. The postal committees of Con- * gress, after careful study, could not recommend such a scheme. This year Mr. Taft changes his 'proposal entirely and suggests I the possibility of weighing I separately the advertising pages j of magazines, leaying their read- i ing matter to be circulated in the I mails at one cent, a pound while : charging a higher rate for the ' advertising part. It is only fair to say Mr. Taft does not claim to have studied this subject, and he makes the suggestion to Congress as involving facts that are worthy of study by the Postal Commit tees. The* truth is that from the business standpoint the Post-Of fice could ill-afford to discrirni- nate against magazine advertis ing. No other one thing causes so many letters to be sent through the mails as the business publicity that makes use of general adver tising. There are no facts in ex istence that would justify the placing of a higher postal rate on other periodicals than the rate that is paid by newspapers. Nor has. any one as yet given us a definition by which to distinguish between the newspapers and tne other periodicals. This Review is in so-called “magazine” form; yet it claims to be a newspaper in the strictest sense of the word.—From “The Progress of the World,” in the American Re view of Reviews for January.

He jumped his horse over a bar five feet five inches high, which made a record for the academy, and a close second to the highest jump ever recorded in America. He received little honor for some of his efforts, however, notably in the case recalled by Nicholas Smith in “Grant, the man of Mystery.” But perhaps the humor of it reconciled him. The riding master was one Hershberger, “an amusing sort of a tyrant, ” and on one occasion, whether sdriousiy or as a joke, he determined to “take down” the young cadet. At the exercise Grant was mounted on a powerful, but vicious, brute, that the cadets fought shy of, and was put at j leaping the bar. I The bar was placed higher and j higher as he came round the ring 'till it passed the record. The ( Stubbpiii rider would not say ! “Enough/’ but the horse dis- 1 posed to shy and refuse to make I the leap. j Grant gritted his teeth and I spurred at it, but just as the I horse gathered for the spring his swelling body burst the girth, j and the rider and saddle tumbled ! into the ring. j Half stunned, Grant gathered i himself up from the dust, only ito hear the “strident, cynii:al i voice” of Hershberger calling I out: I “Cadet Grant, six demerits for I dismounting without leave! ” --- I Youth’s Companion. I OperatiOfi Thought inevitable. ! Ferris, Tex. — In a letter from I this place, Mary Kilman, says: I ‘ ‘I was confined to my bed for I three months, with womanly I troubles, and during this time suffered untold agony. The doc tor said an Operation was inevit able. I tried Cardui. Now I am well, and able to do a great part of my work.’* Thousands of ladies have testified to the bene fit obtained from Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It prevents nn- necessary womanly pains and builds up womanly strength. It is a true tonic. Try it. It will 'help you. Ends Winter Treuliies. To many, winter is a season of trouble.
