WKDXKSHAY, JANUARY 12, HMO. It Is better to be nn honest man In one lnngungo than n Hnr In live. Take enro of the lille poor! The Idle rich will take care of them solves. One docs not need a perfect knowledge of grammar to speak good and truo wordB nil the tlmo. In tho Now Year mako up your mind to bo cheerful. Sco tho best In everything. Say a kind word wheth er you feel just like It or not; get tho habit of being courteous nt nil times; keep yourself clean mental ly, morally and physically and you will be surprised nt What n glorious thing life that is worth whllo Is. Without tho atmosphere, besides the iuconvlenco to broathing, n grent many peculiar things Would ho ob served that would seem very ex traordlnary to us. Tho sun would rise straight up in tho morning into a sky ns blnck as obny, traverse a black' sky and sink down to rest at night into a black bed. No beau tiful glories of the sunset and sun rise would- nppear. no blueness of tho heavens would bo seen, no red sun gradually growing brighter, but one that would rise as a fiery orb and remain thus all day. No tw light and no daybreak could cheer us, for there would be nothing to diffuse the light. Unless the sun shone directly on a thing we could not see it. Thus our houses would have to be mnde of some transpar ent substance or else be artifically lighted in tho daytime. No soothing shades would nppear in tho land scape, but everything would stand out boldly and clearly, every object asting dense black shadows that would render invisible any one en tering them. No 'voice or music could bo heard, for there would be bo medium to carry it. No birds or insects could flit about in the trees and above us, for there would be olhing to enable them to utilize their wing motion. No clouds would be seen in the intensly black sky, and no thunderstorms or high winds would be possible. No vegi- tation could exist, and no animal could live. In fact, this old earth would be as dead as Hector as far as activity was concerned. it costs each person in tho United States only ?1.G5 a year to go to bed early and sleep sweetly with a sense of security born of the sub conscious knowledge that if his mouse starts to burn an army of Are laddies will hustle around and put out the fire. Wherefore, tho census bureau which discovered this lact as the result of an investigation of tho fire departments and Are lozses of 158 of the largest cities in this country, feel that there Is no ciuse for fear on this score. In Berlin ii costs 2G cents; in London 10 cents, and in Milan 17 cents. Tho United States geological survey has made some computation to show that this difference is because the building restrictions in Europe are greater than in this country, that there are more fireproof buildings and that the cost of maintaining the fire de partments is not so great. It is not because American flro departments are expensive administers. When It comes to conserving the country's resources or, better yet. Its assets, the toll of (Ire tells n fearful lesson. During 1907, tho 158 largest Ameri can cities lost more than S48.000, 000 in their fires, covered by insur ance amounting to 142,000,000. Governor Hughes of Now York has made an excellent Governor, and deserves great credit for his energy shown in efforts to reform politics In Now York. He haB been earnestly advocnting a primary law which will lesson tho dictating in fluence of the political loaders, and Rive tho common people a larger opportunity to dotermlno who shall bo candidates for tho different of fices. Ho now comes out in a letter In which ho practically states that an exception should be made in tho matter of several state- officers which horetoforo have been elected and which ho thinks should bo appoint ed by tho Governor. This may be alright, but if somebody else had suggested such an Innovation what a howl would go up from thoso peo ple who are tuned up to yell hyster ically at an proposition which does not como from ontf of the sanctified. If tho people can bo trusted to nom inate candidates for one office, why not trust them to nominate for all ofllces? It looks as if tho Gover nor has a very high OBtimato of his ability to do Bomo things which tho sovereign people- might mako a botch of. Every political leader has the same Idea. ijIlAMfc Tho Scrnnton newspapers nro very profuse in publishing tho faces of hor noted men, "and thoir numes nro legion," and wo aro looking for thnt mlxup which Is customary and sure to come in printing offices, nnd wo will not bo surprised to see undor the head of n Poruna or Duffy mnlt whiskey advertisement the features of some of Scranton's favorite sons. If this is to happen, hrcthern ar range so that it will 'not. happen wlille the present revival is in oper ntlon. 'There la a Devil in every printing office and it would bo well for those whose pictures have been used to (ill spneo in their homo journals to arrange to have tho elec tros of same placed where the Devil cannot get them.

Tho fierce light that beats upon tho leaders in any great religious controversy has, of .lato, focussed Its rays upon ono woman In particu lar Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, tho foremost exponent of Christian Scl enco In New York City. Human Life for January contains a masterly story of this extraordin ary woman. Devoid of nowspaper sonsationnllsm, but presenting fncts and livo details hitherto unknown to tho outside public, Mr. Glllmore's nrticlo traces Mrs. Stetson's checker ed career from girlhood, and tolls tho story of how, alono and un known, sho unfurled tho banner of Christian Scleneo in Now Yoi;k City, tho coldest and most indifferent city In tho world, and In seven years bad raised a million and a quarter dol lars, and attracted a throng of de voted followers among tho most wealthy and influential citizens. The secrots of hor success woro a radiat ing personality, boundless ambition, and a genius for leadership that threatened to overshadow that of tho renowned founder of tho cult herself. Under tho cornor-stono of tho pala tial church which sho built in New York is burlod a letter by Mrs, Eddy which, In tho light of recont ovents, reads strangely indeed. All tho events which led up to the Bchtsm aro clearly traced. Then came tho dulugo. But what does tho futuro hold out for this proud and EICVI8ION AND APPEALS.
