If there are several children in the party, papers go right and left, When the tree returns to its normal condition, then it is an easy task to jather up 12 baskets full of waste. Luckily we have pretty generally discarded the primitive candle, and our fire risk has become almost nil.

How instructive the holiday Sifts to young children may be. They reap the sowing of ages of scientific study, discovery and invention. They handle as common toys the wonders of the universe. An inspection of any toy shop wilt entertain an adult. Astronomy, chemistry and physics are represented in a complex variety of toys.

Once the earih and thet water monopolized the display, but today aerial inventions have their place. Any child, youtli or adult who really can understand the mechanism or the scientific content of the holiday display has at least the beginnings of a liberal education. Steam: It is a fact of record that Robert Fulton once offered to propel one of Napoleon's warships by steam, but the proposal was turned down. The English were victorious on the sea, but, if Fulton's offer had been accepted what ght have been the result? He probably made the offer while living in Paris, for he returned to New York In 3806. A year later he launched the Clermont and made the record-breaking trip to Albany, 145 miles.

N. B. Thanks to England's navy we got by purchase from Napoleon the great Louis.ana area. Yacht: This word is a demon of the spelling list. Yatch, Yacth and yacht are equally satisfactory to the average child who hasn't the gift.

Unfortunately only of the three spellings has official standing. I have just read of a Dutch canal boat drawn by a horse and that from this the yacht was developed (Not from the horse). The Dutch, then are responsible for the demon Later-- I have found that formerly yatcht and yatch were recognized spellings There ia a possibility that too, may use them. TArt: The makers of crossword puzzles use the word art for stratagem, ruse, lure and the like. Of course, they have good authority for these and also machination, plot, dodge, wile, trick, evasion, deception and their kin.

This use of art rather irritates me (absurd, I grant), but I like to think of art in Its original sense of skill-especially in joining and fitting, and then by transfer to the application of skill in the production of the beautiful. Naturally the academic fine arts come to mind. From this height is quite a fall to the many variations of low degree that Roget gives in his "Thesaurus." Cerebration: I need a para- graphic idea and I am about to try a truly scientific experiment, that is, "posture involving keeping the feet at a higher level than the head speeds offered orally or in writing their common every-day speech. I am atmlfJ that lie would have a nciv- ous breakdown. Probably ho would cover a written article with blue- pencil marks and demand a rewriting according to his standard of a cultured language that bespeaks a gentleman.

11 Harvard: Them is to this day in the college a Humford professorship of physical and mathematical sciences. As a youth I lived 18 years in assachusetts, and 1 recall the boast of the town that it was thu birthplace uf Benjamin Thompson (1753). Benjamin offered his services to Congress in the early revolutionary days and asked for a commission. For some reason he was refused and so he went over to the English who honored him. It was, however, in Bavaria as an administrator that he won his spurs and the title "Count Rumford of the Holy Roman Empire." Half: "One half doesn't know how the other half lives." This is an old chestnut, Lut it is as true now as in the past.

How can we know? Shutters, blinds, windw shades anc draperies resist the most curious and p.ircins; eyes even the crystal eye of the "far-seeing is fortunate lor both halves thai there is still some privacy, for without doubt each half has greater respect for the other. The press pours fortl. a continuous flood non-privacy. This it one reason some of our ablest men, those whom we would like to elect to office, refuse to be candidates. In Re: In harmony with the preceding let me quote the following written and printed by a cabinet minister of a national senator.

"His speeches left the impression of an army of pompous phases moving over the landscape in search of an idea; sometimes these meandering words would actually capture a straggling idea and bear it triumphantly, a prisoner in their midst until it died of servitude anc overwork." Under a recent picture in a metropolitan newspaper was this, "What a shame fur a dog like that to have to live in the The picture represented a tenement district. I agreed with the two eldeny and motherly women. Such a dog should have a rural existence but what of the crowds of children? Is it one of our peculiarities Lhat we more often show sympathy for the lower animals than for the highest? Yes, are a queer lot. 'j Snips: What were ships? "Tor ture cnainbers in which those whc defied the Gods or space and Time were condemned to suffer theii punishments." No such definition ihough, will stifle the inborn urge for the sea, an urge that has its birth far inland as well as along the coast. In spite of the siuai boy's definition, spunk is not the past tense of spank.

Often, though the latter has de-en known tc develop the former. From a chip tc tender, to fire, and thence bj simple transfer to spirit, mettle and pluck is not an unreasonable expansion. Spunk equals on fire "Here are the volunteers DIES IN MIDDLETOWN i Michael S. Ronayne died at the Newport Hospital last Friday, morning after an illness of several GEORGE J. A A weeks.
