WEALTH OF THE UNITED SrAEs.-We
stand near the head of the list-third on
the list of all the western nations. The
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland heads the list with capital valua-
tion of S44.4 900, 900; then comes France
with $50. 100, ,000,00O; the United States
with 1888 900, 600. 900; Germany with S22,.
000, 600, 900; Russia with $4,000, 600, 900,
and the low countries with ll,15O,O00,-
600 of capital collectively. These are the
valuations made by those countries of their
entire resources. What is the annual in
come per inhabtant in various countries?
We come to the front in this comparison.
The average annual income in the United
Kingdom is $l65; in the United States it
is 3 65 also; IN the low countries $3.50; in
France 1925; in the British colonies $50;
in Germany and also also in Scandinavia
S85 In this reckoning, Russia, with her
go, ,000,0O0 people, is out of sight yet; she
will not be very long. On the score Of
annual accumulation our case is even bet
ter, relatively far better. The annual &C
cumulation of wealth in Germany is $780,
100000; it is S32j000.000 in the United
Kingdom; 1915 600, 900 in France; in the
United States it is 1885,, 100000. Our in
crease in national wealth since 1850, says
a good English authority, wouldbe enough
to purchase the whole German Empire
with its farms and cities, banks, shipping,
manufactures. etc. The annual accumula-
ton has been 5000, 900. and therefore
each decade adds more to the wealth OF
the United States than the capital value of
Italy or Spain. Every day that the sun
rises upon the American people it sees an
addition OF S2,300. 900 to the wealth of the

If a person we're to declare himself deep
ly interested in art; were to join an art
league; were thereby to avow in a public
and solemn manner his belief that the
promul CATION of certain artistic principles
is a profound duty, never TO be set aside;
were to express his determination to
defend and extend those principles SO
far as in his power; and then, for
the rest of his life, were never to
paint anything himself, nor help others
to paint, nor to talk to his friends
about art, nor pay any attention TO the
adornment of his house with proper orna-
ments, nor live in such a way as to show
that he cared any more for art than for
coal mining or saw-fling would his
artistic associates think he had shown
himself very valuable coadjutorp But
in that vastly more important life relation,
the public assumption of the Christian
name and obligation, there is a still more
striking divorce between the nominal po-
siton and the actual attitude of too many
Christians. If there is in ones life no
fondness for religious thought or conver-
sation; no effort to bring others to right
views of duty; no mark or note to give
evidence that one thinks or feels differ
emily from any body else, in matters of
spiritual concern,-then in that life there
is lack far more dangerous and deplora-
BILE than could be found in an alleged
artist who cared nothing for pictures, or
in professed architect who never drew

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO ROAST BEEr.

MORE THAN ONE WAY TO ROAST BEEp.-
Every woman who has kept house few
years has theory which is dear to her
heart, as 10 how beef should be roasted.
One says it should be put into the oven
without drop of water in the pan; an
other that it should be rolled in flour,
little lemon juice squeezed on it. and so on
indefnitely-each one thinking her way is
the best. AS for me. am sure that my
ways are best, for l have two of them. Ii
the beef is fat and seems juicy. put it into
the oven with just about a table spoonful
of water, and roast, allowing an hour and
a half for five pounds of beef. If the meat
is lean and dry and gives an impression
that it is tough, and especiallyi if my butch
or has been betra yed into confessing that
it is not very tender, then / put it in the
dripping-pan on top of the stove with half
a pint of water, turn tin pan over 1t, and
let it steam for half an hour; then put it
in the oven. have in this way served
what appeared to coniding and unsus-
picious family as a delicious roast, but
which ! knew to be a very tough and
unpromising piece of meat So unortho-
dOx is this way of roasting beef that
almost fear to make 1t known.--N Y.

Sun SToRMs.-It is pitiful TO witness the
condition of the sun. The great fire-ball
is in intense commotion. His surface is
scanned and Scared in every direction
with black spots that indicate the disturb
ing elements at work in his chaotic mass.
Occasionally. for Il day or two, the blem-
ishes disappear, and the glorious king of
day shows II face like shield of glowing
gold. But the aspect quickly changes;
spots come rushing in all directions and in
all forms. They appear singly and in
pairs, and dagain in }.roups and rows. Im-
mense groups break up into small ones,
and small ones unite to form great chasms,
into which half dozen worlds might be
dropped and there would still be room for
more. Sometimes the spots are visible to
the naked eye, and at that time good
opera glass or II spy glass will make them
easily perceptible. Hundreds of observers
all over the world watch the suns face
every clear day, and record of the mum.
ber of spots, their size and direction in
which they move, for as the sun turns on
his axis they turn with him, some of them
remaining for months without much
change, some taking on new forms and
some disappearing entirely. Very little
is known of this mysterious sun or the
spots that are visible more than ninety
millions of miles away.
Once in about eleven years the sun takes
on his present sHn-spot phase, and we are
approaching the maximums ofdsturbance
No one knows the cause. Some believe
that il is planetary attraction, some that i,
is the fall of great masses Of meteoric mat
tnr and that IL io tho raor,lt nf int
al commotlon and the rush upwards OF
gaseous explosions, in comparison with
which our fiercest volcanic eruptions are
but the flicker of fame. Besides the
sunspot agitation, the gaseous outbursts
are marked and vivid. The tongues of
flame OF rosy protuberances are darting
forth in all directions and bearing their
testimony of the solar commotion. Mr..
Trouvelot of Cambridge, who makes daily
observation of the suns chromosphere,
gives graphic description ofa remarkable
solar protuberance that he witnessed on
the 10th of November. When first seen it
was large and complicated, extending up
ward from the sun about hundred thou
sand miles. Three or four hours after, it
had developed into huge proportions,
extending far out into space, and vanishing
gradually to regions where it could not be
perceived. As nearly as it could be
measured it reached a height of over a
quarter of the suns diameter, or about two
hundred and thirty five thousand miles.
Such a protuberance hurled upward from
the earth would almost reach the moon!
Two hours after the whole structure had
collapsed and was only about eighteen
thousand miles high. Observations like
this give an idea Of the mighty forces at
work in the solar orb, and make observers
long for the time when satisfactory
solution may be found for this mysterious
periodical solar disturbance, so intimately
connected with the meteorological condi-
ton of the earth

Is DYING PAINFULP-A physician in the
N. Y. Evening Post expresses the opinion
that in all ordinary cases there is little
physical pain in diving. A previous cor
respondent had said that, las a physical
fact, in ninety nine ctsses out of nun
dred, the act of death is suffering and
agony which only those familiar with it
can understand" To which the physician
replies:
IL beg leave, as a physician. to object
very decidedly to this statement. Since

the south, have been II frequent observer
of the passing out of my iellow-beings. in
army and navy. in large hospitals
and military, and in private life, and hence
cannot hel p telling thnt what have seen
must be IA tair sample of the me hods of
dying peculiar to our race.
"The result of these sad observations,
covering eighteen years, is. that the vast
majority of persons do not find death 'suf

the various illnesses from which they re
cover than most do in the article Of death
A very large proportion become uncon.
scious, and hence PISS away without

those who retain "A good measure oil in.
telIigence till life is extinct, have been

religious teaching, to discern in them an
almot general indifference to their fate.
81 have always supposed that, in spite
of apparent mental lucidity, disease clouds

the ordinary state of the dying. Of the
few deaths have seen that mere onlookers
might call horrible, there was good reason
to believe the patients unconscious"

How the Minister Obtained a Large Load
of Wood

The Rev. DR.. Wellington was the old
Tempieton minister from early in the
eighteen hundreths, and Col Leonard
Stone was one of hi+ parishioners 1t WAS
the custom to supplement the minister s
moderate salary with presents from the
pro lucts Of the farm, anu especially with
wood. Now Col. Leonard one dav in
January, 1922, was drawing to the parson
age some of his nice hard wood. IL was
n good OK load-two cords or so. As he
WAS going across the common with it his
brother, Col. Ephraim. caught sight of
him from the store, and was surprised at
such great load.
"HelIo!" says he, "why don't you take
your minister load of wood while you're
abolt itT'
Now, look here" says Col. Leonard
I've been saving out lumber down't the
mill, and there's any quantity of slabs
III give the minister as big a load as you
can taker
Col. Ephraim was man for fun. He
instigated the townspeope to take hold
with him and accept his brothers. chal-
enge. First, they made the sled. Long
trees were cut for the runners. These
were made thirty cd 4 feet long and set
eight feet apart. The body of the sled
projected two feet over the runner an each
side. Thus the sled would hold twelve
regular cords at one layer. There were
two tongues. one in front of each runner.
On the appointed day the men and the
oxen from all over town came to the
meeting place. The sled was taken to
the saw mill and backed up against the
great pile. On went the slabs with a
will. Col. Leonard stood by. laughing,
cheering urging them along. When they
had got on as much as they thought would
do. they hitched up the team. One hun
dred and sixty oxen, four abreast, found it
easy enough to pull. They had to GO
around through Baldwinvile, because there
WIS not room at the Otter River bridge
for the sled to turn in. When they had
got on to the level ground above Baldwin
vile. they stopped and unhitched. Then
with their every day sleds they went back
to the mill to bring more slabs and pile
them on the big load. This they kept up
till there were no more slabs. Forty
cords lay piled upon that sled. And the
evening and the morning were the first
day.
The next morning came the rest of the
Journey "up in town" The school chill
dren were let out 10 see the great sight &c
by. One of them, to whose home it wa;
going, says it looked as big as a house.. l
lay unloaded for quite while out by th,
parsonage, and people came from nea
and far to see. 1t kept Mr.. Wellington
in slabs for years to come.
When the great sled was taken to pieces
some of the llmbers were used in building
Mr.. Winch's barn, and may be seen there

Suggestions Of present value are given
in the following from the New York Sun
1.-The prevalence of diphlheria has created
alarm In the minds of parents that is not
warlan ed by the facts. Physicians in
private practice AS we'll as in public en-
ploy, say hat almost every ailment no.
tlced in child is taken for diphtheria, and
that dlphlherla treatment is often hastily
adm inlstered by anxious parents in in
nocent eases of cold. There are frequent
calls at the Office of the board of health for
circular intended for free distribution,
and which contains instructions as to
what should be done when diphtheria en-
ters household. An employee of the
board of health says that the most impor-
tant part OF this circular is its description
OF the early symptoms of the disease.
Give heed. he says in his Interpretation
OF this Important part of the circular, the
moment yoI observe signs in your child
OF unwonted weakness, fatigue or physical
debility, particularly If accompanied with
little fever. Make the child frequently
open its mouth, SO you can observe its
throat. 1t is in the throat that The Law OBJ
server will first discover any signs of
dipltheria. Never mind how red or how
much infiamed the throat appears. That
does not indicate the disease. But the in.
stant you see white spot and detect bud
odor run for the doctor. This white spot
will grow. Other white spots will ap.
pear. and eventually they will run to.
gether in great blotches if the disease Ia
not checked. The time to seek medical as.
sistance is before these spots run to-
gether."

THE HOMES OF AMERICA.-It is not a
mere accident the homes of Americs are
the most comfortable and comforting on
earth. Nor are these home comforts due
simply to mechanical skill or economic
Judgment. A country which has limited
the power of its governments stimulates
society, and high moral society produces
the most perfect homes which human eyes
or pdetic visions can behold No one
knows the American system well who
does not know the American home. Our
political system is publicity itset Ameri-
can society has never yet been fully char
acterized; while the best result of both,
the perfect home has been praised in
general terms, but not described and ex
planed in It's funess. The novel writer's,
from whom such descriptions might he
expected, have failed ignominiOusly in
their attempts at showing lhe.maturest re-
suits Of our social system. Yet this system
is unique, and it is "a marked advance upon
all European models. The English home
approaches the American home, while the
German home approaches the English;
but the ideal Amer lean home, not rarely
realized, has comfort a character and
dignity of its own, 1t may seem to be
wanting in the graces, traditions and re-
sponsibilties peculiar to the best English
homes it surpasses them in moral dignity;
it differs from all others IN being the re-
suit of highly refined civilizttlonP 1t is
the best and purest outcome of our ethical
and clinical system. There has been
much pleasant banter about the great
American novel that Is TO come. Let us
not dwell too much on politics; British
politics are larger than ours. Let us not
tell too much OF busy people; the French
are rs industrious and industrial as we are.
let il not contine itself TO analysis OF
character or sentiment; other nations have
both in abundance. Let it describe the
purest and sweetest of our American
homes, and let it describe, not an ideal,
but that reality which distinguishes the
American home from all Others, and shows
it to be the hest outcome out of our history,
our political institutions and our social
system.-BoStoa Advertiser.

BEER GUzzLING.-The increased con-
sumption of malt liquors in the Unite States
has been over 100 per cent in the past ten
years, During $780," says the Retailer,
the organ of the brewers, taxes were
paid on 13,374,000, bbls. or 4l4,O00, 900
gals. This is equivalent to about loo
mugs for every man, woman and child in
the country. Leaving out the females
and children, this vast quantity represent
ed 600 glasses year for each male over
q years old in the United States. When
we consider the very large number of
adult males who drink no beer at all, and
the other host who partake of it only in
the most moderate manner, and at mere
or less protracted intervals, it is evident
that some other Americans must drink a
great deal. At five cents glass this beer
manufacture of 1880 brought $375, ,000,0 900,
or about 81 so per capita for every man,
woman and child. This is u quarter more
than the total expense of running the
United States government" 1t is nc
longer proper, in view of these statistics,
to speak of the Germans as "beer drink
ers. 1t would be more appropriate to
speak of the American beer guzzlers."

GROWING OLD.-Don't grow old and
rusty and cross. AFRAID of nonsense and
fun. Tolerate the follies and crudites of
youth. Gray hair and wrinkles you can.
not escape, but you need not grow old in
feeling unless you chose. and so long as
your age is only on the outside, you will
win confidence from the young, and find
your life all the brighter from contact
with theirs. But you have too many grave
thoughts, too many weighty anxieties and
duties, too much to do to make this trifling
possible, you say. The very reason, my
friend, why you should cultivate fun, non
sense, lightness of heart-because you
need them so much, because you're
weary of thinking" Then try to be
young, even If you have to be foolish in so
doing. One cannot be wise all the time.
