The really emancipated woman may

the rapid growth of the feminine m!n I

When Charles Klngsley referred to
America as "that happy nation of com
mon swindlers" the phrase merely pro
voked a good natured smile, for the fe
licity of expression robled the epithet
of its sting. When P. T. Baruum de
clared that "the American people like
to be humbugged" the declaration was
in no wise resented, but, on the con
trary, the leople went In increased
numbers to see Mr. Illinium's "white1

"bearded lady." knowing full well thaC
the elephant was painted, that the'
horse had leen dennatologh-ally treat

In those days the dominant type in
this country was the Yankee and he
was supreme In minor mercantile pur
suits. His chief characteristic was to
drive a sharp bargain In trade and bar
ter and to get the better of any one
with whom he dealt. When fair means
failed he did not hesitate to resort be
certain forms of deception, compre-j
bended in the term "Yankee tricks.'
His chief accomplishment was In the
line of inventions, with which he flood
ed the country. They were classified
generally as "Yankee notions" and In
cluded various glmcracks and clever
imitations of staple articles. Among'
tne latter was the wooden nutmeg,
which could not be detected from the
original except by Its lack of flavor.
Of all the shrewd Sam Slicks of Yan-
keedom the inventor of the wooden
nutmeg stands out in inglorious promi
nence." He was, so to speak, the fa
lser of original commercial sin in thl
.oun try. As the human race suffers
for the sin of Adam, so does commer-
lal America suffer for the sin of the"
anonymous Yankee that Invented the
wooden nutmeg. With the expansion
of trade and commerce accompanying
territorial development and increased
population the pernicious Influence of
the wooden nutmeg precedent has
spread far and wide and Is encounter
ed on everj- hand in commercial trans
actions. In the daily purchase of
household staples the average citizen
buys many wooden nutmegs. hi

SALT WITH fctLTM-Jn IT."

"Have salt in yourselves and have
peace one with another."
These remarkable words of the
Great Hebrew Teacher are found at
the close of the ninth chapter of
Mark's gosjiel.
As is well known, the present di
vision of Scripture Into chapters and
verses is comparatively modern.
Hugo de Santo Caro In the thirteenth
century and Mordecal Nat bun In the
fifteenth are respectively credited
with dividing Into chapters and
verves. We find the Hebrew retain
ing the division of the IjUin Bible Into
chapters, made by the Dominican
Cardinal, and later the Christian world
copied after the Hebrew rabbi in the
arrangement by verses. Although the
work thus dune is not without mis
takes, it has proven of Immense value t
to all who study the Word of God.
While thus accounting in a natural
way for the present convenient ar-
Thus we are taught bow we are to
possess the "salt with the saline In

earth and cleanse all motives of
service under four general heads:
A. Not to enjoy selfishly our com
munion with God. but to intensify It
by giving out to others.
B. Not to lose touch with Christ,
and miserably full when the tried and
tempted come to us for assistance.
C. Not to seek our own, but our
Master's exaltation.
I'. Not to disparage work In His
name done by those who do not see
eye to eye with us.
Such governing principles In our In
tercourse one with another, and with
the world, would assuredly bring
"peace one with another" and exalt

rangeiuent of the sixty-six liook of

grouping together Into single 'chapters

These truths require to be reviewed In

Ore Believed to Kxiat There In Paying
Quantities.
The tin finds in the United States
that have been periodically announced
for so many years have tended to
make men skeptical as to the proba
bility of the existence of this valuable
metal in this country In large quanti
ties. However, contrary to past re
ports In this connection, the value of
the tin-bearing dike recently discover
ed In Alaska seems to Increase with
time, says Mines and Minerals. It
has been reported that ore to the
amount of fifteen tons from the Alas
ka Tin Mining Company wag brought
to Seattle, Wash., recently. This ore
was taken out by sluice boxes and re
sembles ordinary gray sand (stream
tin) and samples taken from the cargo
assayed 58 per cent tia at a govern
ment assay office. This ore had all
been worked by hand, but having dem
onstrated that the ore was In sufficient
quantity and rich enough to pay to
work It the company plans to put In a
pumping plant and machinery that
will handle 500 tons of dirt a day.
The season, however, Is limited to 100
working days.
A later report in regard to this Alas
ka ore has Its source In an assay of
fice in Providence, R. I., which an
nounces that it Is a very high grade or
almost pure casslterite, and needs no
concentration whatever; further, thai
twenty claims have been taken up by
different parties, two of whom have
sent to their office ore which averaged
nearly 50 per cent tin. In view of the
fact that hitherto no tin has been prof
itably mined in the United States and
that for the years 1890 and 1902 tin

apostles some things requiring the
"salt with settles in it." As His fol
lowers, they were to qualify them
selves for triumphant service by ac
quiring a certain grace of spirit repre
sented by salt, which would cleanse
and vitalize their love for each other
and for the whole world. Their work
as later outlined to them by Him
self in the Great Commissioner was
to be. In the words of the greatest
living American Presbyterian, "res
cue work" and "construction work,"
not quibbling over nou-essentials, but
"saving Immortal souls from death,
and building up the saints In their
most holy faith,
Let us look at the principal events
In the chapter bearing out our line of
thought and interpreting its closing
admonition. Firstly, the transfigura
tion of Vbrlst, in which Peter, as
spokesman for his brethren, wishes to
build tabernacles and to remain In
e-statie bliss, forgetting the world ly
ing In misery below. He is quaintly
excused by the words, "He wist not
what to say." Thanks be to Uod that
the heavenly radiance of Hiui who is
"fairest among thousands, altogether
lovely." has been seen and appreciated
by myriads In all walks of life since
then. Secondly, notice (hat the lack
of faith and prevailing prayer by the
other apostles In the valley prevented
the casting out of the evil spirit from
the Ind so grievously tormented. Peter
erred in wanting the transfiguration
glory all 'he time; these other apostles j
were 'ook tg to themselves and not to I
their Master Both errors were hid- '
Ing Christ from those who needed
Him. Thirdly, we rend that while on
the way to Capornnum the apostles
had been disputing as to "who should
Ik? the greatest" Jesus rebuked their
spirit of selfishness, saying: "If nny
man desire to be first, the same shall
I last of all, and servant of all."
Fourthly, we have John's complaint
that some one was "casting out devils
In Thy name and followeth not with
in." Oh, the wrong and wretchedness
of this spirit as It has shown Itself In
ill the ages since! and Is to be found
even In this enlightened year of grace,
1904. Hear the words of Jesus: "He
that Is not against us is on onr part,"
"Whosoever shall offend one of these
little ones that believe la me, it la bet
ter for him that a millstone were
banged about bis nock and be were
saat iato the sea."
