Gems Of Thought.

Right thought kept we'll in the mind,
no evil thing can enter there.-Buddha.
Great workers must not be cOnfOund-
ed with mere dges.-Alfred Stevens.
What sisnifes to me anything that
happens while my soul is above it?--
Epictetats.
All that is due to US will be paid, al
though not always by those to whom we
have ient.-Anon.
Who, then, is unconquerable? He
whom the inevitable cannot overcome.
When you do anything from clear
judgment that it ought to be done, never
shrink from being seen to do it, even
though the world should misunderstood
it-Epictetats
Woman's power is for rule, not for
battle; and her intellect is not for inven-
ton or creation, but for sweet ordering,
arrangement and decision. But to fulfil
all this she must be enduringly, incor-
ruptibly good, instinctively, infallibly
wise-wise not for self-development,b but
for self-renunciation.-
The civilization which alone can look
the New Testament j a the face is a civil
ization where one man does not depend
on the pity Of another mans building
him model clearinghouse. The civil
ization which alone can look the New
where one man could not build, and an
other man would not need, that sort of
refuge Wendell Phillips.
Culture is not a substitute for life, but
the key to it. Much as it depends on
books, life is really the great thing it has
to do with. 1t is the passions, the inter
ests, the relations, the absurdities of life
that it fits us to see into, to taste, to dis
criminate. Not only is culture essential
to good society, but good society is es
sential to culture. 1t requires curious
natural advantages of position to look at
and overlook life in that sympathetic
and yet self-possessed way which alone

LeOpold's Gift of Lace.
from London Truth.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of
Wales would be rather surprised to read
in an imaginative contemporary that
she possesses collection of lace valued
at est, 900, of which the foundation was
a wedding present from the late King of
the Belgians, which cost him 10000.
The idea of old Leopold, who was
among the meanest of mankind, giving
any one gift of 10000 is rather conf
CAL If the lace which he gave the
Princess on her marriage had been Of
fered for sale it would certainly not
have fetched more than $500.

WHY THIS is THUS

He kissed me- oh. SO often in the happy days
of yore,
He kissed me till d quite refuse to let him kiss
more:
And looking back through weary years those
blissfu moments seem
Like some glad golden chapter from fairy s
hosSy dream.
Alas The sweetest joys are ever shortest in
their stay,
And all unkissed remain the lips he used to
press;
To-day do not feel his soft mustache upon my
lips and brow;
When did he die? He isn't dead, but he's my
husband now.

FATE E,

"The sky is clouded, the rocks are bare;
The spray of the tempest is white in air;
The winds are out with the waves at play,
And shall not tempt the sea to-day.
THE trail is narrow, the wood is dim,
The panther clings to the arching limb:
And the lions whelps are abroad at play,
And l shall not join in the chase to-day"
But the ship sailed safely over the sea,
And the hunters came from the chase in glee:
And the town that was buildcd upon rock
Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.

OLD COINS coUNrERFEIrED.

Modern Mints Turn Out Rare Bits of
Metal Collectors Excited.
OTTAWA, Sept. 9.-Superintendent Bell,
of the United States secret service in
Toronto, accompanied by two detectives,
have in hand one OF the most extraordinary
cases of counterfeiting IN America. The
investigation indicates that q regularly or
ganized gang of counterfeiters has been at
work for years manufacturing base coins,
plate and other curious. 1t was discovered
that some of these counterfeits were manu-
featured in the neighborhood of Toronto
and expressed to the United States. The
investigation has been conducted quietly
for six months, but IS yet the counter.
letters have not been run to earth. When
the krst counterfeit was discovered it Gre
ated great deal OF excitement AMONG deal
ers in old coins. and the Numismatist AS
ISOLATION OF the United States started secret
service officers to investigating the matter.
This has SO far resulted in the discovery of
extensive counterfeiting in the United
States and Canada. When the 81 issue of
1904 was recalled only four were left in cir
culation. Each of these coins is now valued
by numismatists at $500, and it was q coun.
terfeit of one of these that led to the first
discovery. The detectives succeeded in
locating several minis in Louisiana. and
among the stuff secured were many coun.
terfeits OF old coins.
While the inquiry was being prosecuted
an incident occurred in the prison at Mich
igan City that threw light on the work. In
mis- prison there is confined notorious
c ,unterfeiter named Peter Mccartney. A
snort time ago letter was received at the
prison from McCarlney's wife to her hus-
band, in which was enclosed an old Roman
coin. The letter explained that the coin
was sent 10 Pete as souvenir. The Off
ais discovered that the coin was coun-
terfeit. The secret service was notified,
and detective placed on Mrs. McCartney's
trail. He discovered that she lived at
NIGGA, Illinois, and had as an associate a
DIR. Baker, who was IN the habit of paving
periodical visits 10 Niagara Falls and To-
ronto, driving to Oakville, where he sent
small packages by express to different
dealers in old coins in various cities of the
United States. Detectives we're dispatched

British Opposition to Labor Unions.
London Iron Journal.

A daily contemporary states that steam
ship owners intend forming union with
a capital of some f70,0OO.O 00 or ESQ, 600. Geo
to enable them to cope with the proceed
inGs of the labor unions. Some of the
rules laid down by these unions are felt to
be very arbitrary and oppressive, such as
the rule that no ship is allowed to load,
discharge. get bunker coal, obtain
crew, or get repairs done, unless
her whole crew, from the captain
downwards, are union men, and the
union rules are adhered to. These rules
provide no check against waste of time.
and the costs of working or repairing q
ship are consequently so enhanced that
owners declare they can no longer run the
ships to any profit. Moreover it is con-
tended by owners that the work is SO badly
done that in many cases after large ex-
penditure the work has to be done over
again. 1t is believed that q large number
OF the best union men would be glad TO be
emancipated from their present condition,
and egain their independence. The ship
owners are said to be now joining in force
sufficient to lay 70 q very large feet of
steamers in case of need.
