Inviting journals, with 305 white pagea and a cover of red leather, lettered in gold. The New Tear's resolution habit Is one of those things that won't be snubbed out of fashion, as Valentine's day. New Tear's calls and other an cient Institutions have been. It Is an Instructive proceeding, this making of promises, signing of pledges and tak ing the vows. It shows np one'a weak nesses and one's atrength to all and sundry, but especially to the algi er of pledges and maker of promises self. It proves that two-thirds of the world's resolutions, like pie crust, are made to be broken, and occasionally It wakens up dormant pride and prin ciples in some weak willed Individual and sets him strenuously on his legs. But the success attained by the man who keeps his resolution unbroken through the year Is sometime* of doubtful value. It puffs him up with pride, conceit and Intolerance. Having acf mplisbed his feat of strength, ha has no patience with the weaker vet- Ms who fell by the wayside—to put It Bibernianly. One such individual resolved one New Tear's day in the flower of hia youth to take a cold plunge every morning. II s considered cold plunges good for health and good dlacipllne for a lazy n WOCLD BXAO AXV UW WOULD ZWOTVnm and sleep loving body. He lived down south when he began his early morn ing aquatic performances, bnt later he came north to live, and he kept right on plunging head first Into a cold tub every morning, winter or summer. He kept this up for years, and his vigor, and bloom were splendid adver tisements for the benefits of the cold plunge habit and incidentally to his strength of will in acquiring and stick ing to such habit But he had the weakness of his strength. He would brag, and be would lecture people who did not like cold plunges or else took them only six months of the year. As the years went by be got more and more vigor ous and more and more impatient with complaining, late rising, cold catching persons who would not be converted to his ways. M I rise every morning at 4" he [ used to tell every one who could be prevailed upon to listen to him. "Then I draw the tub full of cold water—the colder the better. Then 1 plunge In, and 1q ten minutes I am ready to dress after a violent rubdown with the roughest crash in the And do I ever have a cold? Am I ever ill? I haven't had a pain or an ache In thirty years, and I am never in bed after 6 o'clock a. m." Perhaps It Is cruel to tell, but it was i positive relief to his friends when one morning be was found dead in bed at 9:30. The coroner said be had been dead five hours. So his Mends blamed It all on his not having bad the* cold plunge at 6. Had he lived until then and taken his usual dip, they said, he never would have died at sIL —New York Evening Poet Ne Cause For Fear. A lady passenger on a steamer, who was very nervous and the cause of great Irritation to the captain, said to him one day: "Captain. I'm so terri bly afraid of icebergs! What would happen if there should be a collision between us and an Iceberg? Please tell me frankly. I can bear the truth." "Why, madam," said the captain without a moment's hesitation, "the Iceberg would move along just as if nothing had happened." "It would r exclaimed the nervous passenger.

TRANSLATION OF THE ABOVE VERSES. You Look Good. Salute Friends. We Good Heart for All. Understand? These verses are full of meaning. They are descriptive and somewhat satirical. They are descriptive of "an event," a gathering of old friends. They are the only four verses in the world written in Chinook entirely using no English to make the rhyme. The First Verse describes " The Hyas Golden Potlatch Tree," addressing the throng as they approach his threshold and he-asks them where their home is. He says they know every one. if they are not new-comers, and says further that the chiefs will strong talk to-day, and women make music to cheer the heart. The Second Verse: "You came here in a fire-wagon that came quick in the woods a little way. This was not the way or the same in Qld day. You had the canoe only to bring you to this ptaoe or to land." The Third Verse: Lots of beef here, truly good to eat, but the useless American talks "no strong drink.' He is a bigfool.no understanding good. If he wants nb "strong drink," soon die. The Fourth Verse: "If you get drunk, this truly no good, bad heart oome, go to jail; look out Chief, strong talk tomorrow morning, you give money for nothing to alter your mind. Nah!

There are many Seattle? tes who prefer it to a champagne supper. . * * * Someday the business men of Se attle will wake up and say here we have the best town on Earth, if we would not let reformers and preach ers make a cemetery of it. Seattle has many vacant store-rooms, the small business concern cannot make expenses and must close their places. Seattle is becoming a graveyard, for many small business conoerns. It's true. Human beings cannot live by looking at the totem pole in Pioneer Square, Seattle. * * * If I bad the power I would license gambling. The places should be run on the square, too. No " brace" or "short-card" games, would be al lowed to operate, and the city should receive the revenue.

EdiaM ISVMU Caaitd Nitio. Thomes A. Edison, the veteran in ventor. unfolded before President Taft a plan for campaigning without traveling, by which Taft might be seen and heard not by 5,000,000 but by 60,000,000 of the nation without absenting himself for a day from busi ness at the White House. It is the newest invention of Edison-the talk ing motion pictures machine. All that would be necessary, Edison explained to the President, would be for a roan to go before an audience, make a speech on any subject he chose, and the talking motion picture machine would reproduce to audiences all over the country every gesture of the speaker, every word of his speech, and every shout of the crowd about him. In bis recent trip Taft appeared in 21ft cities and towns by arrangement and spoke from the platform of his car in perhaps a hundred small places. His secretary estimated that he ad dressed 5,000,000 people. This took up fifty-eight days of the President's precious time and, besides, put a strain on him that brought him down with a cold which kept him out of executive offioes for four days more. Edison proposes to eliminate all this, or at least to multiply more than a hundredfold the results of every speech. He claims that his invention will place the scene before theaudienoes with lifelike vividness. He told Taft that be had manufac tured seventy sets at bis laboratories in New Jersey and that 200 more were under construction. Many sets have already been sold to manufac turing men. Edison was really in Washington in search of rest. He bad never met the President before.' LITTLE HELPS. It is a good idea to have two or three pockets across the bottom of the laundry bag on the outside, into which to slip small articles which help in making up the laundry list. Sboecases for wrapping shoes when traveling are of heavy linen or denim, 10 inches square and provided with ribbon tacked to one corner, by which the package is tied after rol ling. Instead of the usual cross strip on a milliner's bow, several rows of cross wise cording separating the loops of velvet hat bows are very effective and no undesirable thickness or bulk comes at the middle. By a very neat arrangement the little frill on the bottom of a short waisted blouse runs in a continuous line around both it and the revers and wide around collar, making both a pretty line and an attractive trim iag. I SELF-RESPECT. BY LUC r. VSRNON. Hy this I do not mean that pride which makes a man haughty in his conversation, fulsome in commenda tion of himself and his doings, or caustic in bis criticisms and denunci ations of others. Ido not mean that personal vanity " which courts a compliment, or is fed by it." But I mean that reasonable remembrance and estimation of one's own charac ter and position as will deter from a mean or discreditable act or word, that regard to our own personal re lationships as will lead us to think, speak, write and act as if always in the full, fierce lights of public scru tiny, that judicious consideration of our circumstances and surroundings as will enable us calmly, at any mo ment, to submit our career and mo tives to the investigation of others. Masson, in his "Life of Milton," truly snys: "He who would lay up for his mature years a store of that great virtue, magnanimity, which should look the whole world in the face unabashed, and dare to do the noblest things he has ever thought-* that man must begin by preserving for himself, from his earliest youth, and in the most secret sessions of his memory, a spotless title to self-re spect. A man who has the dignity which springs from and is supported by in telligence and self-respect has the first constituent of manliness. There can be no manliness about man —be he millionaire or hobo—whose mind is permitted to be engrossed with the petty, paltry, puny affairs of the world, and who so forgets himself and his relationships as to go out of his own nature, and become more vile than it is possible for the brute beasts to be. It matters not who he may be; he may wear medals upon his breast, carry a sword by his side, bow most gracefully at a swell re ception given by the " smart set," or make the "best ever" after din ner speech, yet if he live a sensual life, if his body take precedence of his mind, if his career be marked by impurity, intemperance, lewdness, lying and dishonesty, he has no man liness —he is an unmanly oreature. Faeries in Aslstlr Russia. Suffering experienced in the famine of 1891 is being repeated in the prov ince of Orenburg and the Turgai territory in Asiatic Russia. Tbe famine stricken inhabitants of these regions are flocking to the towns and the villages, so many of them being prepared for death that they are beg ging for the administration of the last communion.

Let all aave two of the participants join and form a circle. The extra two are the cat and the mouse. The mouse la allowed to enter the circle and the cat la kept out side the circle The circle of boys and girls begin singing some familiar, quick song and go round and round, hands raised as high as their shoulders. The cat outside watches her opportunity and leaps Inside the circle after the mouse. The mouse must be on the alert and run out at some convenient place as the cat enten. Round and round outside the circle (which keepa on moving rapidly) goes the mouse with the cat in pursuit. Then at a conven ient time the mouse jumpa into the circle again and the cat after her. This may go on till the cat in quick enough to catch the mouse, after which two others from the circle are chosen to play cat and moose, and the game goes on as before. The turkey is American in origin. This name was originally applied to the guinea fowL The first mention of the turkey in the literature of explora tion waa made in 1527 by Ovledo in the **Bnmarlo de la Natural Hlstoria de las India*." Be says that it was discovered in Mexico and carried thence by the Spanlarda to the islands of the Caribbean and the isthmus. The bird was established In Europe by 1530, yet there is a possibility that it was carried to England by Cabot from hia voyage to northern America. On the other hand. Harrington haa labored, but without convincing suc cess. to establish a claim that the tur key was known before the discovery of America and was introduced from Europe Into the new world.

Every circus or wild west show that comes to town baa a "whirling der vish" for one of its attractions. He is a wonderful creature. The real der vishes are Mohammedans from Per sia, a set of men who devote or are supposed to devote their entire time to religion and are perhaps as nearly like monks as anything else. Fasting for days at a time, with continual prayer, at last affects their minds, and they see wonderful visions, which they disclose to their superstitious brothers, over whom tbey have great Influence. They are always miserably poor, liv ing on charity, and earn what little they have by being hired to mourn at funerals or to conduct religious cere monies. A baby's cradle in Natal, South Af rica, Is made of goatskin. The skin is stretched on the ground and held in place by strong wooden pegs. The father scrapes it quite clean and then rube it with fat to make it soft and pliable. This takes weeks of tima. When the cradle is finished the little baby is put inside, snug and tight, and is carried on the mother's back. In stead of rocking the child when she Wishes to quiet it the mother hangs the cradle to a rafter of the roof of the hut and sets it gently in motion or hangs It to the branch of n tree out side.
