Indigo.

NNN'f.
Indigo, as ID well Known, Is a color
ing matter which has attracted atten-
ton from very early times. Cloth dyed
with indigo has been found in the
old Egyptian tombs. The method Of
preparing and using this color is ac-
curately described by both Pliny and
Dioscorldes, and the early inhabitants
of the islands were well acquainted
with indigo, which they obtained from
the European indigo plant, ISatiS tine
to1ia, the woad plant, or pastel. With
this they died their garments and
painted their skins. After the discOv-
cry of the passage to India by the cape
of Good Hope, the eastern indigo. de.

fera, gradually displaced wOad, as con.

But this was not accomplished with

Progress of Christianity.

The Rev. DR.. Dorchester delivered
III address in Wesleyan Hall, Boston,
on the progress Of Christianity in the
whole world, since 1900. Until the
present century, says the lecturer, there
was no trustworthy data of the worlds
population. Prior TO 1889, it was va
riously estimated from 6i2,OOO,OOO TO
49, 100000. In 1850 il WIS rcckOned
at l,0O00000OO. Prof. Schem's esti-
mate makes the present population L.
437,OOO0OO. The progress of Christ
ianity fiOm the fourth or fifth century
mp to 1900 was confined almost entire.
ly to Europe The nominal Christians
in the world in the third century mum
bercd 5,OO0,OOO; up to the eighth cen
tury they had increased 3OOOO,OOO; in
the tenth century, 50,OOO,OOO; in the
fifteenth century, lOO,OOO,OOO; in the
last 300 years the increase has been
OO,OOO,0 GOO or as much as in the pre-
viOus fifteen centuries. In 1880, there
were 4lO,90O,O00 nominal Christians.

ent from that miscellaneous collection
which one finds in village or seaside
towns at home. Then the hardihoOd
and patience and good temper of the
laborers, who worked hour after hour
in transferring the cargo from ship
to boat, or from boat to ship, were
always conspicuous. Nor could we
ever get beyond the reach of Norwe-
gian industry, Upon the night we
first saw the midnight sun, everything
about us was wild and solitary. Sea-
gulls brooded upon the water, and
were awakened only by our passage.
They few about the steamer, and a
whale passed by near enough almost
for us to strike his back. There we
were merry party, laughing on the
deck, and far as we could see there
was nothing but waste of silent wa
ters and rocks and snow; not tree,
not a house, not sign Of verdure.
But we were not alone, for there in
the distance were dots of fishing boats
and each had its men, dropping their
lines into the implanted deep. When
we came to Hammerfest, the northern
most town of the world, we found
theatre bills pecling from the posts,
and read TINT .Iane Eyre had been
performed there three weeks before.

The value of money does not depend
on the material of which it is COM
posed, but on its use rs money. This
is now practically recognized by all
civilized nations. The first SEC, 100000
issued after the breaking out Of the
war had no more value by reason of
the material of which it was composed
than had the subsequent issues, But
it had, as money, the same uses as
gold, and as a consequence, it always
bore the same relation to the present
greenback in value, as did gold coin,
holding always an equivalency of value
with gold coin, y

departure on the money question.
And he who thinks he can yield obe-

Chicago Humane journal.
The sentiments OF humanity to dumb
animals have become more thoroughly
incorporated into the structure of civ
ilized society during the present gen
GRAFTON than in any previous era of hui
man experience. 1t is true that some
people have always inculcated kind
ness to animals, but it remained for
the civilization of Europe and America
to place this reform upon the high
level of human duty, as one of the
recognized features of the moral code,
quite as important and binding upon
man as any other Of its precepts. A
regard for property rights in animals
and for the attendant economies has
long influenced enlightened minds in
the treatments of these dependents, but
the organization of humane societies
dated Il new era in the history of our
relations to animals. The recognition
and practical observance of humane
sentiments and action have become
positive requirements of social life.
The rights of the lower creation, and
especially of the domestic animals to
such happiness and enjoyment as the
Creator has given them capacity for,
is now undisputed, and the Importance
of their mission is acknowledged. To
infringe upon these rights and privi-
leges in a manner, and for purpose
that cannot promote the welfare of
human beings, is regarded by all mer-
ciful persons as an injustice and q cru.

The Presidents Physicians.

'''S
The people about the white house,
says Washington correspondent, have
seemed to take a cheerful view of the
case at all hazards. This has been
carried to such an extent that very few
people place any reliance on what they
say, and there is no wonder that the
curb-stOne opinions of doctors who have
never seen the patient, but who try to
make an honest diagnosis from the
facts given in the official bulletins, are
taken rather than the opinions of one
who will talk as did a military officer
closely attached to the president the
other day. The bulletin had been an
unlayOrable one, showing decreasing
temperature and increasing pulse, and
as yet the presidents stomach had re-
fused to retain even lin.c-water, and
in the face of these potent facts this
gentleman, in answer to the question
how lie felt, burst out into hearty:
al feel first rate" This illustrates the
character Of most of the cOmmmica,
tions that have come from the inner
circle of the white house. To those
who have recognized the serious aspect
Of the case there has been 50 much
apparent enthusiastic good feeling that
it has seemed as though the people
there had so much coarse llippancy in
their natures that they could not feel
sympathy with the sufferer they had in
charge, or with the people 50 greatly
interested in his welfare. All this is
very unjust to them, but they have
brought criticism upon themselves by
making efforts to appear jOyial and of
good heart when they were really feel
ing very sad, and when those who ques-
toned them anXiously knew they had
every reason TO feel sad. The gay and
cheerful answers have not c0mfOrted
those who knew, and they have simply
lulled the country into Il false sense Of
security. DR.. Bliss and his lay asso,
ciates have proceeded on Il wrong theO-
ry, and have done themselves Il vast
deal Of injustice by making people dis
credit them. | know Of one prominent

THE WORKING MAN.

The nOblcS men know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who, backed by no ancestral groves,
Hew down the wood and till the soil;
And win thereby 4 prOuder name
Than follows king or warriors fame.
The working men, whatCr the task,
Who carve the stone or bear the h0d,
They bear upon their honest brOws
The royal stamp and seal Of God;
And wOrthicr are their drops Of sweat
Than diamonds In cOrOnCt
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce Of the main,
God bless them, for their tOiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

and he was requested to call and see if
it was intended for him. He went to
the office accordingly, and stated that
he had no right to Il military or naval
title, although he had been Lieutenant
at u military school some years before,
and the lettermight have been written
by classmate. The letter was accord
ingly handed to him, and he opened it
and read it as follows: "Dear Sir: Do
not think that your gallant conduct in
rescuing two ladies from drowning at

the will of near relative of one of
them, just deceased, you are set down
for a bequest of $4,000" The young

ly compelled to admit that he had no

Can loads Live Without Eood2

We used to hear stories of living
toads being found in solid rock, where
they had been shut up without water
or food for one or two thousand years.
But Dr. Buckland made series of ex-
periments, to see if toads could live
shut up in rock without anything to
eat or drink. He caused blocks of
coarse stone to be prepared with cells
of various sizes into which he put
toads of various ages. Glass covers
were fitted to these cells, through
which to look in and see the little pris-
oners. They did not become torpid,
but grew thinner every day, just as
DR.. Tanner did, and in three months
the smaller toads died. The same fate
befell all the larger ones in the second
year.

Origin of the Sisters Of Charity.

~ 81 ~ ''fN ~'S'S' - ~ ~'''N' ~
In the year 1917, when Vincent was
one day going into the pulpit at Cha
tillon, Il lady who had come 10 heaI
him preach detained him for a mo,
ment, with the request to make men
tion in his sermon of a poor family
living about half a league from Chatil-
lon where there was much sickness and
great need Of help. Vincent was
asked to recommend this family TO the
charity Of the congregation, This he
did with such effect that several peO-
pie set out, on leaving the church, to
visit the poor family, and took with
them bread, meat. and other things
for their relief After yespers, Vim
cent went also to visit them, and was
surprised to see SO many Of the people
coming back. His practical eye at once
perceived that the matter had been
carried 10 excess. The poor people
had received far more than they could
use. Many of the provisions would he
spoiled before they could be ayailed of,
and the family for whose benefit these
offerings were intended would be as
badly off as before, Vincent began to
think that system and organization
