Andres and his two companions Dravely set sail for the North pole from Spitzbergen, news comes from British America that the Eskimos about Reindeer lake, 900 miles have the ropes of the balloom, and the relies, and the story has such an appearance of authenticity wupon its face that the Danish government has already offered inducements to compe- tent explorers to follow u= the clues ob- tained and if possible secure whatever writings may have been left by these brave navigators of the air.

Men of greed have alwavs taken advantage of the ignorance and neces- sities the working classes and r bed them on every occasion when have loared them money The usurer is abro: today as he has been for mere than five centuries, and it is heeoming so common for men of ready meney to Increase the misery of the poor by charging them excessive in- terest for the loan of small sums of money that organized effort is being made in some of the large cities to make an end of the practice. Speak- ing of the movement in Philadelphia to protect the unfortunate from the rapacity of these money sharks, The Times of that city says “That the clan should flourish In Philadelphia is not wonderful, Here are owners of small homes, here are thousands of mén and women who oc- casionally find that iliness or other misfortanes consume their small sav. ings. despair, they turn to the loan sharks for the money that will tide ¢! over the crisis and sign judgment mnotes for sums legal rate of in- “It is well that the law of 1858 pro- hibits the collaction of this usurious It is also = at the po- protection of poor azainst rapacity of the sharks.” This practice is extending to the smaller cities, and men who crowd the poor in their distress and increase their misery are making illegal con- the “racts and enforcing them against the | pecple who do not know that rates of interest above 6 per cent. are not collectsble. Banker Morss would rather capture millions in the market than to sit down in Atlanta and assist in making prison clothes. The difference between making money and earning it is made clear to him, as punishment. Peary’s picture of the North pole hows that the winds like to pile up the snow there as well as anywhere eise.

There is no doubt that their silence could be broken by tact |and the customary inducements. | Should the story prove to be true, it is barely possible that the thrilling experiences of these air navigators may disclose something decidedly new | about the ice-locked north. M. An- dree’s diary might not prove that he went to the North pole, but it must record the most adventurous and phe- nomenal air flight ever made by man, and contain some data of Importance to the scientific world, such as the | length of the flight and the effect the | intense cold had upon the balloon. i It is not probable that another bal- Joon will ever start for the North pole, but starting from Etah or some point farther north it is posstble that one of these aeroplanes might start out and at the rate of 75 to 100 miles an hour circumnavigate the North pole in a day. The last week's laborious sledging schedule as shown by Peary and Cook. would only be an hour's work for the airships which are now making records and breaking rec- ords of nights In New England. THE TAILORS TO REMAKE CHINA The news now indicates that the Chinamen are to ‘be modernized soon— that they are contemplating breaking away from their present style of hair dressing and costumes and adopt the styles recognized as_ 20th century styles by the Anglo-Saxon nations; hence it looks as if the statement that China is to be Christianized within | the next five years is truer than we | at arst thought; for a Chinaman who | has been through an American barber | shop and been thoroughly clothed by our tailors and shod by our shoemak- | ers seems to be more than half-Chris- | tianized by the process. It is said that | the prince regent has decided that | the queue shall be prohibited and that | the nation shall break away from its | antique notions of dress, and present a sartorial appearance worthy of the | age and its conceptions of progress. There is still some doubt whether the Chinamen will submit to such dic- tation; but if they should it would be the way out of wervitude—a step up | which would leave the Japs somewhat in the rear. The idea of China being tailored out of its traditional rut and put on the highway to 20th century style and cul- ture is not so much of a dream as it at first appears to be. There is no doubt Wu Ting-fang would favor such a change. A MEMORIAL OF PEACE. ssal figure of the Indian sur- | mounting 1t is to be 580 feet.

A New England exchange very ap- propriately remarks that “it is too late in the day for the conquerors of the Indians to erect what is to be known as a peace memorial, be it ever | 0 grand and beautiful, in their recog- | nition. 1t might be possible to im- | mortalize in bronze a sentiment of | bumility snd repentance for the wrongs | that have been done to the aboriginal | race of America, but this is not the irpose for which the Staten Island column is to be reared.” 1c makes no difference concerning the real purpose of the column, it can | never be separated from the thoughts | | and convictions which history will surely excite or the criticisms which | will surely spring from them. EDITORIAL NOTES. New Year's frills are not such a great improvement upon last years furbelows, however we may view them, Boston makes its memorial trees wear men's names; and it is very be- coming to the trees and worthy the men memorialized. The good fellow who characterizes Christmas time is not related to the good fellow so commonly talked about at other seasons of the year. They are asking now whether Poet Watson is sane or not. “The woman with a serpent's tongue” cannot have o doubt that he is a lunatic.

THE MAN WHO TALKS How Is it some people never arnear to be happy unless they exploit them- They do not enjoy poor health half as much as they pretend to. They like to play on the sympathies of the kind-hearted persons with whom they come in con- tact as well as some people like to play upon an oid harmonicum. Kither class is a trial to those who, obliged to be present. cannot escape these discords of life. It is mot surprising that we often recognize that the devil does get into some folks while we de- ny the very existence of a personal devil. Poor man would be consistent if he could, but under some circum- stances he 'is to be excused for not being consistent. There are some men who will not abandon hope—they decline to let things appear to be hopeless to them. The motto of this class is, “So_long as there is life there is hope!” It is this kind of persistence which gave birth to the saying that three Tefusals of a man is an indication that the woman will eventually marry him: and that other trite maxim, “Faint heart never vet won fair lady.” The criminal persistently applying for clem- ency regards three rulings against him as a ground for more intense hope. It is the constantly dropping water that wears a hole in a rocl hard case yields to soft persistence even in na- ture. (If this law was better under- stood it would be more generally prac-. ticed. Our faults are all our own. and they do not have to be copyrighted. They are the one thing no man ever be- comes fool enough to try to steal. Someone may iry to steal our purse, or Tob us of our good name—they may even take our old clothes from a line —but they have no use for our faults because they know that faults neither ‘benefit nor bless a person, and are not worth taking. No one ever seems to cling to faults, but the fool they pos- sess, and they have him to a greater degree than he has them. A personal fault sometimes becomes like a car- buncle—it cannot be dropped—it has 10 be cut out. This is why we should see to it that we do not become con- firmed in our blemishes. After a man has ruined himself by the violation of the laws of his be- ing for vears, he is disappointed in his doctor_if he cannot cure him ‘in a week He doesn’'t know that the doctor cannot perform a miracle in his or any other case; but can advise him to behave right and if he does so, and sufficient recuperative energy is left in_him, nature restores him to health. When the practices which make one sick are abandoned, then he is on the way to health. Doctors fail when the patient will not do as told, but goes on in ignorance and perversity even to the bitter end. Clergymen fail be- cause men try to retain their malig- pity while they pretend to be puri- fied. As a man thinketh so is he. There is no truer saying than this? “One-half the troubles of this world can be traced to saying ‘Yes' too quick, and not saying ‘No' soon enough.” This is where a young man must find his equilibrium and when he finds it stick to it. if he would make the most of life and the most of himself. Tt is said of Americans that “bashfulness rubs off long before the beard comes,” which means that they must look out or they will get their gall before they get thelr equilibrium, which is equiv- alent to getting the cart before the horse. The man who tests luck by buyingJottery tickets is not so much of a fool as the man who says “Yes” When it would he manhood to himself and dollars in his pocket to say o The only things worth cherishing in the past are the things which may prove pleasureable or profitable to us. Our mi and our miseries should be perm to got vellow and dusty in the pigeonhole of time. In fact, the pisconholes of time may be regarded as the sepulchres of worthlessness— the place where the wraiths of mis- fortune rest forever andl for aye. We should strive to get what there is sweet out of life today—out of every day—and that means more of pleasure than pain, as the sum total of exist- ence.

Who keeps this secret? It is not in good form for a man to whistle, swear or smoke when escort- ing a lady, but it is not worse, per— haps, than' the attempt in public to teach him manners. There are many go0d natured combinatlons of this sort and the chidings are usually marked by a good humor which seems to indi- cate that they are ineffective; but the woman manages to let those who hear her know that she knows politeness if she is not in its company. Such inci- dents in life are rather amusing, and the partner who is guilty of such breaches of decorum may not deserve to be dealt with any more considerate- or gently. The harum-scarum class who amuse others by their grotesque- ness are rather on the increase than the decrease. The toughest winter birds have no nic when the snow is deep, the tem- perature low and the winds high. They find the sheltered place: d lead a precarious and hungry existence. If death doesn’t get them some predacious bird may. When the air is full of snow flakes bird life is full of peril. They cannot hibernate like the bat, or live eight months without food like the but- terfly. They do not know the comforts of “the bug in the rug.” but take their chances in the field of nature with all the hardy tribes; and man never knows or seems to care what the death toll is there. We like to see the weather soften, and so doubtless do the birds, who may then begin a new search for food and take new courage. T like to see the hardy little vagrants in the snow. but If I had their wings I would seck a warmer clime. It is not infrequent that the persons who have most troubles in this world show them the least. There is real merit in being able ep one's trou- bles to one’s self. It i v easy to keep one’s troubles to the front like a badge of distress that it has become the general custom. The optimist has just as many troubles as the pessimist, but he.likes to put a rosy haze over life and keep the perspective pleasing. A ttle color in front of one js better than a fog bank.

Bridgeport.—The public exhibition of the oils and watercolor departments of the Bridgeport Art league opened Fri- day evening (Written for The Bulletin) Dear Friends and Neighbors Mine:— 1 am glad vou all cams to sce me on New Year's day. It is what I hoped you would do, for it gave us the op- portunity for a cordial -shake, and much kindly talk face to face, and the sTowing into deeper and sweeter ac- quaintance with one another. It is surprising that people can be near neighbors, year in_and year out, and yet_know éach other scarcely at all. A friend of mine tells me that she makes warmer friends in three months abroad than in thirty years at home— which to me seems very sad. Why is is_that the stay-at-homes so seldom get heart-near to one another? Or do they get near to each other, really, and 1 my friend's experionce merely a_ solitary instance, one peculiar to herself? Is it possible that we all feel more kindly toward one another than we ever let anyone see? Doubt- less the answer to all that depends, as does the answer to every question, up- on the Individual point of view. The making of New Years calls Is a friendly custom, dear to me from my youth up, and one which I wish might be more generally observed. For it ls one of the gentle courtesles that helps bring people into closer and warmer human touch, thus transforming stran- gers and neighbors into friends. I am glad of the many times It has been my privilege to “receive.” just as I am glad of every pleasant thing that has ever come into my life and helped to broaden my sympathies. Looking back, I can see my girl selt, one of a group of girls, all of us dressed in our prettiest, and gathered in the long drawing-room of sometimes _ome, sometimes another. hospitable home. dispensing coffee and chocolate, salads and sandwiches, boned turkey and hot escalloped oysters to sleigh-load after sleigh-load of our friends. Owing to the bright suggestion of one of our number, one New Years day stands out from all the rest. “Everywhere they g0,” she said, “théy are surfeited with good things to eat. Let us give them a surprise instead.” Whereupon, under her direction, we trimmed the parlors with wreaths and ropes of ev- ergreen, filled the corners with cedar trees, and placed in the center, under the chandelier, a large round rustic flower stand or vase, four feet in diam- eter, filled by the florist with moss and set ‘thick wlith button-hole_bouquets. The vase looked like any mass of roses and carnations, geranium leaves, smi- " IN THE SAME oL WAY SRR B Ll Ly lax, and asparagus fern; but each tiny bouquet had its stems wound with sil- ver foll, ready to be plucked out of the moss and pinned to & caller’s lapel. The surprise was complete, the flowers were appreciated, and every man in town who had already, or could secure the shadow of an excuse for <alling, called that day for his boutonmiere. That day was one out of many, but every New Years day brought the dance in the evening until midnight, and after. Who does not remember? Was it not all delightful? And why do we mot do it now? To be sure, it was never really a New England cus- tom. But New England is not so far from New York but that we could easily borrow, if we would, the genial dustom of our neighbors and friends across the state line. And why do we not? As | remember, there seemed to be a larger leisure in those days, time and leisure and opportunity to live and move and have one's being, where- as today it is even a question if there exists in our country a. leisure class. We are all more or less aware of a sosties | class. that bust Steeit friends as workers of one sort or an- other, professional or industrial, to whoni any real lelsure is unknown. For leisure, as I understand it, is not idle- ness, hor mere fashionable frivolity, nor, least of all, ennul or boredom. Rather, it is that proportion of time that we may legitimately give to the genial side of life:—to enjoying our friends, our books and music, to lon walks across country, New Year calls, a game of bridgs, the dance until t, or & quiet evening in our mi lounging chair by the fireside, with no | pressure upon us of last years bills nor anxious forecasting of next year to meet them. In a word, leisure is that delightful portion of our time which we have earned the right to en- joy in our own chosen way. Now and in some one of finer fibre than the rest draws out of the etherial essence that spirit of leisure which is able—in the very midst of the day’s occupations—to “loat and invite the soul” To such an one it is glven | to know that the treaures of the uni- verse are his. From the most of us,| however, if we are not on our guard, these twin thieves, Hurry and Worry, will snatch away much of what makes | up the richness of life. What gift of God can be more preclous than our friends?—many friends, true friends, | friends that we know to.be our own, for once and for all, friends of a life- time here, and, God grant, in the long- er life héreaffer. Yet s it not true that in the daily hurry and drive, the daily worry and weariness, oftentimes we fall to grasp a hand half-timidly | stretched out to us, or draw back our | own because no other friendly hand seems ready to meet 1t? Oh, the pity of it! Yet pity ‘tis. 'tis true! Love is the greatest good in the world. And| loving kindness is love's tenderest ex- pression. It i= not enough, then. to be kind merely; God bids us to be iov- ing kind. One of the sweetest greet- ings that came to me in loving-kind- ness at Christmas was a card, hand- painted by a dear, true friend, on Wwhich appears thesé lines: “There is a mystic borderland that lles | Just past the limits of our work-day world, And it is peopled with the friends we met And loved, a year, a month, a week or day, And parted from with aching hearts, vet knew That_ through the distance we must loose the hold Of hand with hand, and only clasp the thread i Of memory. But still so close we feel | this land, | So sure we are that these same hearts | are true, That when in waking dreams there comes a call | That sets the thread of memory aglow: We know that just by stretching out the hand In written word of love, or book or flower, The waiting hand will clasp our own once more, Across the silence, In the same old way.’ Crowning_all, at the very end comes the heart-c ng— “Lovingly yours, ‘In the same old way. THE RECLUSE. e SUNDAY MORNING TALK YEARS OF THE MOST HIGH. The ancient Hebrews had a phrase which they used to characterize peri- ods of time marked by signal and un- usual events. When looking back over a stretch of months, they could point to some remarkable overthrow of their enemies, as when the Egyptians were drowned in the midst of the sea, or to some other triumph over thelr foes, or to the conquest of mew ternitory, or to relief from captivity or exile, or to the coming of a mignty deliverer, they referred to the times when such things as these had taken place as “vears of the mo®t high” For their sakes the Almighty had laid bare His holy arm | an@ wrought wonders in ther behalf. Living at a time when we do not need and do not expect miraculous and spectacular disclosures of God's inter- est in and purpose for mankind, we prefer to put emphasis on the reve- lations of himself through the ordinary processes and movements of the world. The order and beauty of this fair universe, the normal human rela- tionship, the sacrifice of parents in be- half of their children. the. innocent rattle of an artless child, the count- ess, every-day fidelities of men ana women in every status of soclety— these are to us as sacred and signifi- cant as any rending of the heavens could possibly be or of any audible voice from the heavens. And yet In our appreciation of the glory that constantly surrounds com- monplace events we ought not to re- duce all life to a gray, monotonous level. The years that are passing so rapidly over our heads are just as much years of the most high as any in_the history of any anclent people. Take the year just closed, for in. stance. Note its many tokens of pro- gress. Distinct headway has been made In that conquest and subduing of the earth to which God summgpned Adam so long a%o. The earth is being made, through irrigation and other de- vices, to_yleld its fruits more abund- antly. The alr is no longer the exclu- sive domain of the birds, but success- ful fiving marchines are carrying scores of persons clondward. Vast and hith- erto unexplored and uncharted areas of the world’s surface have this year for the first time been brought within human ken. What a year it has been for sclence and discovery! Still_more marked are the fement and growth among the nations of the carth. The Orient from Japan to the farthest bounds of Manchuria is awake. Men everywhere are vearning for learning and for light. Old tradi- tions and customs are being put one side. The human family is becoming one in its aspirations, hopes and am- bitions, even if it is far vet from being one in sympahies and endeavors. Looking for signs of progress nearer home we find them in the demands on_every hand for industrial justice and a larger equalization of posses- sions. _Socialism, labor unions, pop- ulism, wrong as thelr philosopy some- times is, and reprehensible as often their methods are. nevertheless at their best—and we should always judge them by their best—represent a right- eous longing for a world of good In ail its parts, fair in all its relationships. The providence of God is behind all this industrial unrest, this ferment in the east. Therefore theso years, through which are passing may fitly be charact- erized as vears of the most high. We would all far rather live now, than a hundred years ago, and one of the regrets of elderly people is that they cannot live to see all that is to take place in this wonderful century. But we may live today and tomorrow, re- joicing that we can have a taste of these years of the most high and wo ©an issue the sama challeage to our- selves that Julta Ward Howe did to | her soul a half century ago: | “Be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be jubilant my feet, For God is marching on.” THE PARSON.
