The old year dies with a merry degree of liveliness animating all ac- tivities. Hoth social and other mat- ters are under the impetus of a pro- mising planetary Spur, with the dis- position to be bold and enterprising even to the point of reshness and im- petuosity. s tumult should®be curbed lest it ad to contention and litigious situations, since the ramp- ant Mars rules, to the point of ex- | cesses of varying natures. In social celebration of the eventful day, this holds a warning. It may be found that old obstacles will break away | and new operations be builded upon their foundations. Those in the em- ployment of others are favored by the stars. Those whose birthday it is have the assurance of a "happy and pros- perous New Year" if they attend to affairs with calm judgment and well- tempered dealings. Those in the em- ployment of others are under excel- lent auspices. A child born on this ay, although perhaps quick-temper- ed and difficult to manage, will be successful, A little classifiec. adver'isemant can brighten the gloomiest outlook.

This is probably the reason why the street Damascus, called "Straight" got its distinguishing name, SUFFERED FOR THEIR. FAITH by the Revocation of the Edict . of Nantes. The Huguenots were'the Puritans of France in the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries. The name was first used about 1560; its origin is un- known. The Huguenots suffered se- verely in the reigns of Francis I and his immediate successors, and after 1662 were freguently involved In war, under the leadership of such men as Admiral. Colignyand King Henry of Navarre, afterwards Henry IV of France. Coligny and from 20,000 to 80,000 others féll in the massacre of St. Bartholomew, August 24, 1572. It is disputed in history whether this was suddenly caused by the discov- ery of Huguenot plots or had been premeditated. In spite of all this, they continued numerous and powep ful and the edict of Nantes, issued in 1508 by Henry IV gave them full po- litical and civil rights. Their power was broked after the surrender of LaRochelle and the revocation of the edict of Nantes by:Louis XIV in 1685, and hundreds of thousands of Hugue- nots went into exile, going to Prus- sia, Holland, Switzerland, England, Scotland and America. Chinese Curb Tobacco Users. China's ministry of the interior has telegraphed the following circular in- structions to the Shenchangs and tungs all over the country, according to the Peking Daily News: "It has been noticed that almost everybody in the country has indulged in the use of cigars or cigarettes, which will become a worse curse to the nation than opium in former days unless some restrictions are imposed. It is hereby decided that before taking up any measure for the total prohibi- tion of its vse, the following restric- tions shall be imposed: First, no boy or girl under eighteen years of age shall be allowed to smoke cigars or cigarettes; second, any military or na- val man using it shall be punished; third, the use of cigars and cigarettes A novel method of forcing aftend- ance in the chamber of deputies of the TRAVELED BY DEVIOUS WAYS | | Gorrespondent Experienced Acuts Dis | and yet so contemned by many a | Euphrates toward | would, I | | fear, find this an uncomfortable and | means of | dured) and on a British "destroyer" | which might very fit! have borne St. | | Paul's name before he changed it, in | | the days when he was "breathing out | There-is a shorter and less indire® | way, for, speaking generally, there Is ! no direct way from one place to un- | French Huguenots Driven Into Exile | WHIG.

'Whig an idea that may ta turngd "I had just graduated from the Normal College in Phila- delphia as a kindergartner and was all enthusiasm for my work. I had given some good lessons during the term in the School of Practise, and my principal had promised me a position in some public school for the early fall. Coming home from business the evening of my graduation day, father announced the fact that he had taken a cottage at Atlantic City for the summer and he smiled on me saying, "Aren't you glad? You need a change of air and surround- ings after your winter of hard study." "No, I was not glad. I did not like Atlantic City in sum- mer; least of all the life a cot- tage in Chelsea had to offer, so I began to think out a plan by which I could not only make the time pass quickly and pleasantly but also make it pay. - Mother, who was distinctly fore July, our starting tinte, about 50 letters had been sent to families that had children from the ages of 6 to 10 years, whom 1 knew would be at the shore during July and August. These letters stated that I would conduct a "Story-Téll- ing Class" on the beach three mornings a week from 9.30 to 11- o'clock; that I would. call for and escort the children to their homes; and that my terms were $1.50 per week per child.

I explained that the time each morning would be divided into three periods of one half hour each---for hgalthful games, raffia and basket weaving, and stories about, nature, history and fofk-lore. To be sure, my name was not entirely unfamiliar to many of these mothers so the responses - were prompt and satisfactory. They passed the good word along to their friends and there were s0 many eager to give their little ones wholesome occupation at A place where the tendency was - towards idleness that I had to form two classes--one to meet on Mondays, Wednes- days and Fridays and the other Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat- ("urdays, : My sister, a girl of 17 years of age, whe intends to make kindergartening her life work, too, was my assistant, sharing with me not only the work, but one quarter of the profits, The outlay during the sum- mer for supplies, car fares, oc- casional gifts and prizes, and a wind-up treat was $35 and the income over $300, Visit- ors were always welcome and many a time the board walk in Chelsea, where we played in the sand, held an interested group of onlookers who said to each other, loud enough for me to hear: "What a fine idea for a_place like this! those 'tots are learning wkile they play and they have the advan- tages of the ocean breezes too.

UST WEAR DARK CLOES trict Rule for Employees in Factories Where Work Is Done on Gold. Clothes of a light color are not fa- orites where work is dope on gold n facet, in many sueh factories a dark iit of clothes is absolutely t(crmand- d, and even a light waistcoat may ose A man a job. The reason for this s that any stray grains of gold that nay get on the clothing can easily be aught on a dark suit, while they night get away from the establishment f light clothes were worn. That such a rule was enforced imong gold workers one man learned 'ecently when a Bohemian gold beat 'r applied to him for a helping hond "he Bohemlan sald that he had not een In this country long, {hat he had 1ad a chance to ohtain/a good job at iis trade, Lut that the place had been 'fred him becuse he turned up ith a light suit and waistcoat on.

He went to i factory with him and found out that he man "ould have the job if he pre- iented himself within an hour clad in he proper clothes, So a suit of de dred kind was obtained for him and mre enough he got the job. °* "You may think this is strange," sald he foreman of the factory, "but it neans quite a lot to us, Every man's 'lothing is carefully examined when he eaves the place at night and the gold 8 brushed off whenever we see any m his clothing.
