We have so accustomed ourselves to measuring time off with our ar bitrary human tape-measure into years, months, weeks, days and hours that we are scarcely conscious of the fact that there are no Old Years and no New Years except of our own imagining and defining. Time has no metes or bounds, and is properly spoken of as an ocean without - shores. Yet the calendar, with its arrangements of periodi cally recurring dates, serves many useful purposes. The theory that to day we turn a new leaf in the brief book of our lives and have an oppor tunity, if we will seize it, to repent of past errors, from new hopes and step forward in the courage of new and high resolves is well worth cher ishing, notwithstanding the obvious truth that one morning is just as good another for resolving and striv ing to make better use of our time. The custom of making good reso lutions on Ne Year's Day is worth preserving. Many such resolutions are broken before January is half spent, but if only a small per cent age of them serve as the starting points of real reformations the cus tom is fully justified. Wherever there is a man, who, looking back regret fully on the past, feels that by pledg ing himself today to better things for the'future he will fortify himself against temptation and gain a real advantage in his fight against his worse self,he is to be commended for so doing. There is moral tonic in a good resolve, on whatever day of the year it is born. Excesses of the ap petite, the use of profane language and evil bodily habits of every kind are only to be overcome by power ful efforts of the will, supported by an earnest desire to be free from the physical and moral slavery which such habits impose upon their victims. The first day of a new year, by its suggestions of a clean slate, a fresh start, a rubbing out of all old scores and a fair chance to begiu all over again, invites all who are in the bondage of such habits to break their fetters and begin life anew. Nor need the good resolutions of the day be limited to the stopping J of iujurious personal habits that af fect the bodily health. There are oth er things worth giving up besides the excessive use of liquor or to bacco. A man may throw away many a worse thing than his over-much loved pipe. The woes of the world d ) not by any means begin and end with alcohol and nicotine. New Years Day resolutions may profit ably take a wider range than that. If there is a home circle to which any member of it has acquired the daily habit of carrying a gloomy face, an unamiable manner, and it may be a sharp and bitter tongue, this is a good day to resolve that for the coming year such things shall not be. To treat the patient wife and mother, toiling at home, with more smiles and fewer frowns, to reward her faithful attentions with a few appreciative words, spoken in a cheerful tone, is about as good a New-Year's resolution as many a husband and son can make. And on the other side of the account, if there is anywhere a wife and mother who has, perhaps unconsciously to her self, grown into a habit of peevish ness and irritability, so that she l as come to nag her husband or her children almost without knowing it, and without meaning it, this is a fine day to resolve that it shall be drop ped with the Old Year. In the making of good resolutions it is well, we think, to observe mod eration. The reason so many of them are broken is that they are too radi cal. Habits of twenty or thirty years' growth are not often abso lutely abandoned in an hour or a day. The way we acquire them, little by little is also the easiest way to lose them. Reformation on the in stallment plan is not so heroic as "swearing off'' instantly and forever, but it is apt to work more effectu ally and permanently. A year is a long time, looking forward. Many good resolves perish because they cover the whole twelve months. It is not a bad way to write your good resolution for one month only. Give up the habit you seek to conquer iust for January as a beginning. If you like the experience for thirty one days it is easy to renew your resolution for February, and that will bring you to March. It is surely wisdom not to attempt too much at once, even in the way of personal re formation. Finally, if you break your good resolution, whatever it be, be fore January has gone, do not aban don it altogether and acknowledge total defeat. After all, January is but the skirmish line of the New Year: there are eleven more months in which to fight out the main battle to a successful finish. The Mother'gFavorite.

Nearly sixteen hundred years have passed since Christmas was first celebrated by Christians. During all these long centuries they have not failed to meet somewhere and pay reverence to the day that somehow was chosen as the birth of the Sav ior. It is not at all certain that the 23th of December was His birthday, but that does not matter much, so that Christian people observe some day and show their gratitude.Indeed the Greeks and the Russians still celebrate the 5th of January and call it Christmas for they have never yet adopted the new calendar estab lished by Pope Gregory XIII in the year 1582. Now, it is important for the young people and many of the old ones to know that for nearly six teen centuries old Father Time had been gaining a little every year on the exact time that it takes the earth to go round the sun. This gain had amounted to about twelve days, so the pope, who was a great and wise man, issued his mandate that time should be set back, and it was set back. All the Roman Catholic countries conformed at once to the new date, but the Protestant coun tries were jealous of the pope, and so Germany would not conform until the year 1700. Great Britain and Ireland refused to conform until the year 1752, and the American colonies put it oil a few years later. Greece and Russia have not con formed yet, but they will. They are getting tired of having to put two dates to their letters and commer cial transactions with other coun tries. When General Young was our consul at St. Petersburg all his let ters that were written home had two dates that were twelve days apart. One he marked "N.S." for new style, and the other "O.S. " for old style. England had to abandon another measure of time, for until about two hundred years ago the new year began on the 23th of March. Some countries began it on Easter day. I tell you, my young friends, old Father Time has had a perplexing problem to keep his cal endar straight. The day used to be gin at G o'clock in the morning. The week used to begiu on Monday. The Jews had twelve lunar months of twenty-eight days, and every third year had thirteen to make up for lost time. For centuries there were only ten months in the year among the Greeks and Romans, and Febru ary had thirty-six days just like all the other months. But popes and emperors ruieu tne civuizeu woriu, and changed the measures of time to suit their own whims. Pope Greg ory was a scnoiar, a matnematician and a promoter of public education, and he knew that the calendar was wrong, and was getting more so every year. Jt was a ooia stroke oi power, but he was backed by all the great astronomers of Europe, and he set the clock back, and it stands. But what about Christmas? It has to be written about every time it comes round, for there is a new gen eration of young people coming on every year, and they must be taught to know as much as those who are older. This is the most important event that ever happened in the his tory of the world, and every man and woman and every boy and girl who can read should be as familiar with it as they are with the spelling book. The word "mass" does not lit erally mean birth. It means "dis missed," and came into use because after any service in the Roman Cath olic church the priest would say the congregation is now dismissed. In Latin, it is "mass." Hence, there was high mass and low mass and candle mass and Michael mass and Christmas a dismission and bene diction after worship. For two or three centuries after Christ His followers had so many ups and downs they could not es tablish holy days or feasts or festi vals. Some emperors were kind and tolerant and some wero cruel and persecuted them. During the reign of the Emperor Diocletian the Christ ians of Rome determined to cele brate Christmas in their own church where they had been permitted to worship, but Diocletian had taken a great dislike to them, and after the church was full he sent soldiers and locked the doors and set fire to the building and burned them all alive men, women and children. The wretch died, soon after, but it was many years before Christians dared to celebrate Christmas again This was about the year 310. But the utmost efforts of kings and em perors to extinguish Christianity failed. cThe more martyrs, the more Christians. They seemed to thrive on persecution, and hence it was said that "the blood of martyrs is the seed of the church." Just think how much we have to be thankful for in tHis age and in this land of re ligious liberty. No martyrs, no per secution, no inquisition, but every man and woman can worship God according to their own conscience, with none to molest or make them afraid . The turrets and spires of beautiful churches adorn our land in every city, ' town and village, and are a silent guarantee of good will and protection to every stranger. But Christmas has had no good time in coming down to us through the ages. In some countries it was made a frolic a bacchanalian revel. The gay and dissipated danced to the music of silly and profane carols and desecrated the day with wine and and irreverent song. This desec ration got to be so universal and so shameful that many good Christians ceased to celebrate it. The Puritans refused to observe it and so did the people of Scotland. The Scotch do not observe it now. Well, it is a de secration even here, for it is made a day of thoughtless feastiug and fro lic instead of a day of thankfulness. Christmas trees and gifts to the children are very proper and gifts to the poor are especially so, but all the day long our gratitude to God for His goodness should be up ermost in the minds of all intelli gent people. The children, of course, we must hraaor to their innocent faith in Sauta Glaus and his reindeer, for he is supposed to be a great and good old man who loves them and is wonderfully rich. His Russian name is St. Nicholas and his Dutch name is Kriss Kringle, and for fifteen hun dred years he has been known as the patron saint of all good children. He is no myth but was a veritable bishop in his day, and was not only devoted to little children, but took pleasure in helping young men and maidens to mate and marry. The mistletoe feature of Christmas came down from him, it is said, and if a young man and maiden will plight their troth, that is, become engaged on Christmas day while standing un der a mistletoe bough, they will never forsake their love nor be di vorced. This is enough for roe to write about Christmas. The books have many pretty stories and poems about this memorable day. The most beautiful and impressive of them all is the one written by Clement C. Moore, beginning " 'Twas the night before Christmas." The next best is by a Virginia lady, "Kate Festetits. " Her maiden name was .Neely, but she for some reason swapped it off for some outlandish jaw-breaking name that I don't understand. Her poem on Christmas is an exquisite gem. The last verse says: Let none unchristniassed go. Let none from any door Unwarmed, unfed. No kind word said Helpless be turned away For Thine own sake we pray." That is the best part of Christmas making others happy and if I was a lawmaker I would maje the whole week a holiday and give a din ner to the poor and even to the pris oners in jail. And nobouy snouiu dun anybody or write a dunning let ter to disturb his tranquillity. I re ceived one this morning. The clans have begun to gather at the family mansion and the maternal ancestor is happy, and trips her light fantas tictoes all over the house.lt does not cost anything to run Christmas at our house, for the children bring rations with them, and one of the far-away boys writes: Hire another servant or two at my expense. I don't want daddy to have to bring in wood and coal any more, and I want a Sunday dinner every dayin the week."' Bill Arp. Four Hundred Killed iu Colombia. Colon, Colombia, Dec. 27.

Special Correspondence. New York, Dec. 31, 1901 Although the past week has been characterized by an abatement of ac tivity in general business, the vol ume of trade has been much larger than it has usually been during the holidays. Sales by retailers have been exceptionally heavy, and in some jobbing departments clearing sales in preparation for stock inven tories have relieved the quietude of the season. The industrial situation shows few evidences of the slacken ing of activity ordinarily apparent at this time of year. Orders on the books of manufacturers keep ma chinery in practically all lines fully employed, and in some branches, as in iron and steel, there has been a remarkably well sustained new de mand. The business and industrial development of the year has been so great that some persons are expec tant of an early halt in the forward movement; but there are no present signs of impending reaction; and the situation appears to be favorable for a prolonged continuance of the pros perous business conditions which mark the closing of the year. Busi ness failures during the past week, according to R. G. Dun & Co.. numbered 250 in the United States and 23 in Canada, against 235 in this country and 18 in Canadaduring the corresponding week last year. Cotton trading has been restrict ed by the holidays, aud there has been little net change in prices. Speculative sentiment is bullish, and it is what is known as a "long" mar ket, in which the holding interest is awaiting more postive developments to indicate the accuracy of short crop estimates aud give fresh stim ulus to demand from investors and consumers. Business in cotton goods has been seasonably quiet, but first hand stocks are under ood control, and the price tendency is against buyers. Exporters have made over tures for fair sized lines of brown goods, butiu most cases their bids have been a little too low to attract sellers. Leading makes of export grades of cotton goods are sold for several months ahead of production. The wool t rade locally has been quiet, but considerable activity has been noted in Boston; and, while prices have not improved, there is a strong er feeling among holders, many of whom anticipate a gradual harden ing of values early in the new year. Wheat prices have advanced two cents per bushel as a result of spec ulative confidence, which has been reinforced by lighter interior re ceipts due to recent storms and the holiday influence against the move ment. Christmas observances abroad have restricted export demand both from the United Kingdom and from the Continent of Europe, but ship ments of wheat and flour on account of new and old orders combined have reached a total, according to Bradstreet's, of 4,291,543 bushels for the past week. This makes ag gregate exports for a little less than six months of 114,928,090 bushels an increase of upward of 50,000,000 bushels over the clearances for the corresponding period last year. The big exports, coupled with the in creased use of wheat for cattle feed, the high prices being realized by Western millers for bran and the strong holiday holding of wheat at interior points, account for the con tinued bullish sentiment which pre vails in the speculative markets.. Demand for corn has been com paratively light, and the markets have not appreciably changed. In terior prices are so high that they are restricting consumption, but they are generally maintained with confidence. Exports continue very small, and the bulk of the supply now going to European markets is being drawn from Danubian ports. Although interior prices of hogs have declined, and business in pro visions has been of limited volume. Chicago prices of hog products have been advanced by speculation C3 cents per barrel on pork, 30 cents per 100 pounds-on ribs and 40 cents per 100 pounds on lard. Exports of meat and lard have been moderate, and show a decrease of 13,000,000 pounds from the total of over 37, 000,000 pounds exported during the corresponding week last year. He Killed the Peacemaker. There was a fatal shooting affair near Elou College on Christmas day, in which Eustace A. Smith, a farm er, was killed by a negro named John Brady. It seems that a party of ten or fifteen white people and an equal number of negroes were at the home of Deck Whitsett, drink ing. During the afternoon, R. A. C. Kernodle, the father-in-law of Smith, engaged in a wrestle with a negro and the latter threw him. A fight ensued, and as Smith approach ed to separate them, Brady, the pal of the negro, fired at close range, the bullet passing through the right lung. Both negroes escaped imme diately and are still at large. The dead man was a most respectable citizen and was aboutthe only sober man in the party at the time of the shooting. He left a wife and two children. ALL OVER THE STATE. A Summary of Current Events for the Past Seven Days.

Joe Byerly, the colored flagman who was hit by a train at Barber Junctiou, near Salisbury, died of his injuries Tuesday night. His surviv ing nearly 24 hours is rear.arkable in view of the fact that he suffered a broken neck and a fracture of the skull. He never regained conscious ness. Two little sons of John Rufty, while returning from the Lutheran church at Spencer after attending Christmas exercises by the Sunday ocnooi, ueunesoay night, were struck by a Southern train and in stantly killed.

She was eating supper when the plate on which was fastened her false teeth broke and she swallowed one portion of the plate. It first lodged in her throat, causing her to be choked. She forced the obstruc tion down her throat. A singular and unfortunate acci dent is reported from Trenton, Jones county. Mrs. Ed Stallings, living near that place, went to the well near the house to draw a buck et of water. The well had not had a curb placed around it, and while engaged in lifting the heavy bucket Mrs. Stallings slipped and fell into the well. There was no one at hand to render assistance and when the body of the young woman was taken from the water it was without life. She was only about 19 years of age and leaves a husband. About two weeks ago Julius Lambeth, who resided in Rocking ham county, disappeared from home, and although search was made for him, it was not until Saturday that his body was found. The body, which was frozen stiff, was lying near the bank of a small stream, some distance from the highway. There is no suspicion of foul play. For some time the unfortunate man had been mentally unsound, and it is supposed that he wandered from home in a fit of mental aberration and was frozen to death. Mr. Lam beth was a bachelor and lived alone. The body of Miss Ella M. Cropsey, who mysteriously disappeared from her home at Elizabeth City on the night of November 20, was found Friday morniug in the Pasquotank river opposite the Cropsey residence by two fishermen. The coroner held an inquest over the body and the verdict was that her death was caused by a blow on the left temple and drowning. It is supposed that she was struck on the head and thrown into the river. James Wil cox, the young man last seen with her, has been placed in jail and is guarded by naval reserves, public sentiment being very strong against him, notwithstanding be avowshis innocence. A Double-Faced Rank Note. Chicago, Dec. 20. A freak $50 bank note caused W. H. Adams to miss his Chrismas dinner yesterday. Mr. Adams is a member of the firm of Adams & Smith, dealers in stocks and bonds. On Tuesday night, when the cashier tried to balance bis books, he discovered that he was $30 short, and Mr. Adams took it upon himself to try to find the shortage. He went to the office early in the morning and spent the entire day in counting the money and checking the books. Late in the afternoon he found a bill which had caused all the trouble. It was a bank note, the face val ue of which was $50, but on the back of which was printed a $100 note. The note had evidently got out of the Government Printing Office by mistake. The face of the note bears the name of the AetnaNational Bank, Kansas City, Mo. The number is 4,- 251, series of 1882 The check number is A 330,250. It is signed by L. D. Cook, cashier, and F. W. Truman, President.lt was issued on March 10, 1890. On the reverse side the figure C. and 100 are plain. The number 4.- 51 in the centre of the note is print ed upside down. It is a sad thing to see fine fruit trees spoiled by the blight You can always tell them from the rest. They never do well afterwards but stay small and sickly. It is worse to see a blight strike children. Good health is the natural right of children. But some of their, don't get their rights. While the rest grow big and strong one stays small and weak. Scott's Enulsion can stop that blight. There is no reason why such a child should stay small, Scott's Emulsion is a medicine with lots of strength in it the kind of strength! that makes things grow. 1 Scott's Emulsion makes children grow, makes them cat, makes them sleep, makes them play. Give the weak child a chance Scott's Emulsion will make it catch up with the rest. This picture represents the Trade Maik of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle.
