If the making and receiving of gifts contributes vitally to the joy of exist- tury have reason to congratulate them- selves upon their good fortune. In no way has the increasing luxury of American life revealed itself more wide- “IIy than in this. Our grandmothers | could often count upon their ten fingers the gifts of their childhood. The aver- age American baby of any except the poorer families probably receives more gifts from admiring relatives in the first year of, his life than his great- grandmother received in her first twen- ty. For in her day, except for the oc- casional rare treasure bestowed by some especial kindness of fortune, there was but one time of gift-making and receiving, and that the wedding day, when the friends and relatives brought their simple presents of house- { hold goods and plenishings and provi- | sions to help furnish the new home. Now the bride that is to be does not have to wait till her ‘wedding day for Presents Than Did the Little | | ence the children of the twentieth cen- | | | PIONEER DAUGHTERS PLANT YOUNG SEQUOIA Tree Is Embedded in Earth With Spade Presented to the Ladies by Mr. McLaren. The Daughters of the California Pioneers held a tree-planting func- tion yesterday in the Old Forty-Nin- ers’ Camp, Historical Valley, Golden Gate Park. The fact that I make a specialty of this work and that my prices are Jower than those of anybody else in the business ought to prove the ad- vantage of letting me do this work for you Here are a few prices: THAT ‘l{“‘.;\nglTl' The Stationer, The tree, a sequoia, was presented | to the Daughters of the Pioneers by the superintendent of the park, Mr. McLaren. The ground being too! sandy, the committee had purchased $45 worth of loam with which to an- | chor it safely in the . soil. The chairman, Mrs. Tricou, opened the exercises with a brief address. Miss Eliza D. Keith, the historian of the organization, paid a patriotic trib- ute to the Pioneers, in whose honor | the sequoia was planted. F. Adams, the president, gave a short | talk upon trees, going back in her | data to the creation. Mrs. Galloway recited the apropos and time honored poem, “Woodman, Spare That Tree.” The literary part of the programme completed, Pioneers’ officers and members present filed past the little | wonder of the forest and deposited at | its base a shovelful of soil. That par- ticular shovel, or spade, let it be said, | was presented to Mrs. Tricou by Mr. McLaren and will pass into the pos- session of the society as a memento of A& memorable day. The tree planted securely and greet- ings exchanged, the audience closed in about it and made the air ring with the patriotic strains of “America.” The following officers were present: Mrs. H. P. Tricou, chairman; Miss BEliza D. Keith, historian; Mrs. Bau- cher, Mrs. Ernest Leigh, Mrs. Alice Morse, Miss Lucy C. Adams, Mrs. Pal- mer, Mrs. Hutchinson. Those present in addition to the of- ficers were Mrs. Guinett, Mrs. W. J. Tuska, Mrs. William Limbaugh, Miss Ophelia Levy, Miss Templeman, Miss N. White, Mrs. Keith, Mrs. Hutchin- son, Miss Adams, Miss Lucy Adams, Miss Clara Adams, Miss Hutchinson, Mrs. Bibbin, Mrs. Leffingwell, Mrs. Meyer, Mrs. Palmer, Miss McWilliams, Mrs. Galloway, Mrs. Nesmith, Miss Norton and Miss Chisholm. . | mysteries of birthdays and Christmas | flowers and boxes, and frequent pres- Miss Lucy ‘ visible assurance of the affection of her friends.

Even before these there have been the delightful tissue-papered | and New Year and St. Valentine’s day and Easter, and once or twice the ex- citement of commencement, with its ents from visiting friends or other friends returning from journeys. We | live truly in an era of gifts. Is the| child—or the grown-up child, for that| matter—greatly the happier for all| these gifts? Probably not, and for two | reasons. One is the grave old law of | compensation, so often the leveler of | unequal fortunes. A gift cannot mean‘! so much to one who receives a hundred | as it did to one who cherished his soli- | tary treasure. The other reason is that the great gift of all to any life, no matter | how few or how many the years it counts, is love. The child who has that | can easily spare material wealth. There | is, nevertheless, one other side to this matter of giving. If luxury in living is | increasing every day,'as it seems to be, it is surely aspleasant thing that one phase of it is the devising of new and graceful ways of showing our sympa- thy with friends in everything, wheth- er joy or sorrow, that touches their lives.—Youth's Companion. —_————— Troubled With Bad Names. The case in Leipzig of a man who is petitioning to be relieved of his name, Max Katz, because he is pur- sued with “meows” by brutal boys with a wild halloo, and brutal noise, brings up the question of parental re- sponsibility in giving names to their children. As a rule a man entertains a feeling of sacred reverence for his patronymic, and however revolting it may be to modern taste, sticks to it with the. resignation of a martyr all the days of his life. Occasionally a bold spirit is to be found who gets a | deed poll and changes his name from some obscure and even hideous sound to one with a tone of Vere de Vere in its pronunciation. But one has only to glance through a directory to see how many people are ‘“‘cursed from birth” by names with evil and unlove- 1y meanings. Parents frequently add to this torture of their children by giv- ing them Christian names which in- tensify the uncomfortable character of their patronymic. Oliver Wendell Holmes, it will be remembered, ob- jected strongly to the name of “Hiram,” and invited parents to re- gard their responsibilities in this mat- ter with graver and more statesman- like care. But the old slovenliness bag this week consisted of about 5000 birds. Queen Alexandra during the week visited Bakewell workhouse, where she conversed briefly with a number of the sick and poor inmates and left a $250 donation. The striking feature of the house party was the appearance of A. J. Bal- four, the Premier, as the guest of the Duke of Devonshire. His presence was the subject of much political com- ment, especially in view of the report published by the Pall Mall Gazette on Thursday of the impending return of the Duke of Devonshire to the Liberal party, but it only indicates how little party politics affect social life in Eng- land, where royalty is concerned. —_—————— The Norfolk Ancestral Home. Arundel Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Norfolk, and which is now once more to have a gracious young chatelaine, has often been de- scribed and visited by nearly every | American who tours in England. Most people know that it was occupied for vears by Alfred the Great, that King William Rufus, son of the Con- queror, stayed there; that Empress Mathilde of Germany found shelter within its walls, and that its posses- | sion carries with it a seat in the House | of Lords and the Earldom of Arundel. But few people are aware that it was for many years the prison of the late Cardinal Howard. This prelate, who was one of the most magnificent figures of the church at Rome during the reign of Pius IX and during the early part of the pontificate of Leo XIII, and invested with many digni- ties, including that of arch priest of St. Peter’s, suddenly became violently insane. He was a man of huge stature —he had in his youth been an officer of the Horse Guards in London—and was possessed of great physical strength. Some means had to be de- vised for placing him under restraint, especially as his case was pronounced indurable. Moreover, it was impera- tive that he should be removed from They average one-quarter to one-third below what is usually asked.

THE FEATURE Bank Returns and the In- crease Based on Movement of Money Closely Correspond e s NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—The Financier says: The most notable feature of the official statement of the New York As- sociated Banks last week was the close correspondence between the gain in cash as shown by the statement and the increase as estimated on the basis of the traceable movements of money during the week. The bank return re- corded a gain of $10,028,700, of which $5,726,100 consisted of specie and $4,302,- 600 of legal tenders. The estimated in- crease in cash was $11,866,100, making the difference between the official and the preliminary figures $1,837,400, which may very easily be accounted for by the average system and also by the faet that the b.nk statement included the movéments of Friday. The depos- its were increased $19,534,400, in conse- quence of which r.serve requirements were augmented by $4,883,600. Deduct- ing this sum from the increase in cash leaves $5,145,100- as the increase in sur- plus reserve, which item now is $14,- 686,975, or only $123,225 below the sur- plus at the corresponding date a year ago. Calculated upon the basis of de- posits, less those of $36,698,600 public funds, the surplus is $23,861,625, it may item $37,252,000 during the past three | MYSTERY THAT SURROUNDS MATSU HITO § = THE MAN OF THE HOUR IN JAPAN Whom the World’s Greatest Fighting Men Are Now LooKing to to Thrash Russia be noted that the deposits at this time in 1902 were $2,477,600 greater.

The daily average of the clearings for the week was $245,000,- 000, or $17,000,000 greater than in the previous week, reflecting operations in- cident to the distribution of interest and dividends. The excess of loans over deposits was $10,278,900, or about $12,000,000 less than week. Comparisons show that seven of the largest banks gained $4,600,000 net in loans, while five of these banks in- creased cash holdings by $3,400,000 net. ————— “Pet and Masie.” The incongruity of pet names for “grown ups” was never more appar- ent than in an Mnt which occurred in a store last week.
