We hereby declare in favor of a revision of the mercury upward. Speaking about life's @isappoint- ments, did you ever try one of those new paper cooking bags? Although Roosevelt insists that he is not a candidate, The Outlook has its eye peeled for a new contribut- ing editor. Three Americans are imprisoned in a saloon at Jaurez, Mexico, which is a bad thing for the saloon if the three Americang are like some Amer- icans. At the Illinois Ski festival one am- bitious young man hopped a distance of 130 feet. But you should see the jump of a Bemidji bachelor when a leap year girl gets after him. Although/ St. Paul has a deficit of $6,000 as a result of her grand op- era spasm, we are pleased to note that this year there was a compara- tively slight deficit in Mary Garden's clothes. If it is true that hurricans sweep the newly opened over-the-sea rail- road from the Florida coast to Key West, passengers bound for Key West must run the risk of being blown | galley-west. ! ABOUT THIS DAY OF SUPERSTITION. This is Ground-Hog Day. This is Candlemas Day; and On Candlemas day, if the sun -ap- pear, | There’ll be two winters in the year. Candlemas day, in popular par- lance, is nothing more nor less than “ground-hog day”’; “ground-hog-day” from the ranges of Hudson Bay to the pines of Carolina and from New Eng- land to California. According to the popular fable if Br'er Arctomys Mon- ax, the ground-hog, creeps out of his hole between sunrise and high noon this day and sees its shadow outlined by the sunshine, the little animal promptly scampers back into its aperture and there remains for six weeks more. But if he fails to see his shadow, according to popular tras|.: dition, it is a sure sign that winter is practically over and there will be an early spring. There is some dispute as to the or- igin of Candlemas day, but most au- thoritieg are agreed that this eccles- iastical festival was instituted by | Virgin. {in commemoration of the words of | baseball clubs @ |the street! They care not that they're o1 | | NOT A CAMERA WAS SMASHED. i Pope Gelasius in the year of 492 in commemoration of the presentation of Clriat in the temple and of the purification of the Virgin Mary. February denotes purification and in this month the Romans performed the ceremony of purification of the peo- ple. When the church changed this feast of Prosperine, as it was called by the Romans, it retained the pro- cession feature and associated the oc- casion with the purification of the The festival is celebrated through- out the Christian world annually on February 2, its name| from the fact that in the Roman Catholic churches candles are blessed on this'day and carried in procession | and derives Simeon spoken of the infant Christ, “A Light to Lighten the Gentiles.” | MAN'S VANITY. Old Jimpson's whiskers jolt the town. He tries to dye the blamed things brown, but often gets a brin- dled green that has a hard, metallic sheen. Cap. Brick is spavined, old and fat, and yet he wears a rah-rah hat and noisy neckties and his clothes outshine the hollyhok and rose. Judge Boggs is bald, but has they're agreed that what this coun- try’s women need is judgment mas-| culine and sane—the girls are .ab- | fifty ways, and bind themselj§d in jiron stays, and put fool hobMes on ;lh?il‘ feet, and scare the horses in jeered and mocked, that Jimpson, Brick and Boggs are shocked!—Wait | Mason. Considering the faet that princes of royal bloed and real dukes are stiil comparatively scare in this country, the visit of the Duke and the Duchers of Connaught and of Princess Patri- cta did not cause abnormal excitc- ment. The high-born visitors were lavishly entertained by the members of the select set and made the rouncs of New York much like ordinary tourists cn a sight-seeing tour. The royal visitors were whisked from one place to another with great swiftness, | followed by a small army of newspa- per reporters and photographers. | They did not séem to mind the at- tentlon paid to them by the represen- tatives of the press and, ever mind- ful of the motto “Noblesse Oblige, gave the photographers every oppor- Itunity to take snapshots. Unlike! some of the American parvenus and | millionaire, snobs, the visitors did not | {assault the photographers or smash their cameras. TO BE WORLD’S LARGEST ARMORY. On the site of the 01d Jerome Park race course in New Ycrk City the largest armory building in the world is about to be erected for the Eighth Regiment, N. G. N. Y. The new structure will cost $1.000,000. The building will have a frontage in Kingsbridge Road of 597 feet, and 375 in Jerome Avenue. The area covered by the structure will Dbe lof the fund committee has issued a | |surdly vain. They paint and pagd in | about 225,000 square feet, nearly three times the size of the Madison Garden site, The chief feature will be the immense drill floor, the larg- est of its kind in-the world, which will be about 180,000 square feet and will permit of artillery evolu- tions by the entire regiment. The drill floor will also be equipped with parapet emplacements, on which y]lpi be mounted gun and mortar bni@:—, ies, the former containing a ten-inch disappearing gun. Under the drill floor will be roadways and apparatus large enough to handle an entire wagon train at once. !n addition to the company quarters and pr‘hlgte rooms for the officers, there willl be a mess hall ninety-eight feet square, a large gymnasium, and a rifle range 200 yards in length. THE MONEY WOES OF DICKENS 1t is undoubtedly a praisewortlty undertaking to collect a fund of $100,000 for the impecnnious heir of Charles Dickens, and the fund com- mittee, which has opened headquar- ters in the Singer building in New York is receiving contributions from thousands of persons. Joseph H. Choats, who is chairman public appeal, in which he urges all friends and admirers of Dickens to) add their share to the fund. In this appeal Mr. Choate says among other things: g Had Dickens been protected in the enjoyment, of American roy- alties morally due him on his books, none of his family would be in need. We did not grant him that protection. This is our chance to make amends. There is undoubtedly more truth than poetry in that statement, as ev- erybody knows who is tamiliar wi the manner in which foreign authors | have been treated by American pub- ol lishers. [E There are some friends of Dickens, | however, who cannot quite under- stand why this appeal is made to the| public in general, which had to pay| high enough prices for the American | editions of Dickens, instead to the un- scrupulous publishers who reprinted the works of Dickens and sold the books in hundreds of thousands of copies, growing rich thereby, without ever paying a red copper to the, writ- er or his heirs. The Dickens centenary will be eb- served on February 7 and it is hoped that by that time the collections in the United States and in England will together have reached the aggre- | gate sum of $100,000. The money is said to be held in trust for the five grand-daughters of Dickens who are said to be in somewhat straight-| ened circumstances.
