EccentrIcities of ministers

DIR. Fisher, of Salem, had a singular way
of satisfying his conscience. He was asked
how he could read the Athanasian creed
when he did not believe it. He replied, 81
read it as if | did not believe it." Mr.
Pyle, being directed by his bishop TO read
it, did so, saying. 81 am directed to read
this, which is said to have been the creed
of ST. Athanasius. but God forbid that il
should be yours or minel" John Patriot
Wilson, when speaking Of Nicodemus aS
referred to in the third chapter of John.
would uniformly say, There was u gentle
man of the Pharisees called Nicodemus,,'
and when commenting on the parable of
the ten virgins he used to call them the
ten young ladies. "-St. Louis Globe Dem

An amateur .beekeeper in Penobscot
county learns a thing or two almost
every day. Among other valuable les
sons was this: While working among his
hot footed charges he clumsily upset a
hive He was shielded by netting and
loose overalls and could watch with
amusement the frantic jabbing of the
10000 bees that covered his anatomy
After moment, however. he thought
fully stopped to pick up the hive. Then
it was that the bees We're amused. The
loose overalls We're drawn tight by the
STOPPING process. and the beekeeper
didn't sit down and enjoy himself for
two weeks.-Lewiston Journal

pinerent Kinds of Cold.

Most people suppose" says an as
sayer, that all gold is alike when re-
fined, but this is not the case. An ex-
perienced man can tell at IL glance from
what part of the world "A gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what part
of particular gold district the metal
was obtained The Australian gold, for
instance, is distinctly redder than the
California. and this difference in color is
always perceptible. even when the gold
is 1000 fine. Again, the gold obtained
from the placers is yellower than that
which is taken directly from the quartz.
Why this should be the case is one of
the mysteries of metallurgy, for the
placer gold all comes from the veins.
The Ural gold is the reddest found any
where.
Few people know the real color of
gold, as it is seldom seen unless heavily
alloyed. which renders it redder than
when pure. The purest coins ever made
were the fifty dollar pieces that used to
be common in California. Their coin
age was abandoned for two reasons
First. because the loss of abrasion was
so great, and, secondly, because the in
terror would be bored out and lead sub
stituted, the difference in weight being
too small to be readily noticed in sc
large piece. These. octagonal coins
were the most valuable ever struck. y

rhe Race Problem Even i'm .Au..rall..l,

The Race Problem Even 1n Australia
Sir George Grey thinks that a barrier
against the participat lion of New Zealand
in Australian federation is to be found
in the colored labor question, which he
believes is one of the first difficulties
which an Australian federal parliament
will have to face He has declared that
the northern territories, if they are to be
worked at all, must be worked with col
ored labor, and although he is opposed
to the employment of Chinese labor,
thinks that Kanakas and Indian coolies
might wisely be employed in the north.
Sir George Grey's information differs
entirely from my own, which is to the
effect that even in the event of divi-
sion of the colony of Queensland the
majority of the people in the north
would oppose the introduction of colored
labor, and regard it as most unlikely
that this question will be raised in the
federal parliament, should it meet, or
at least be raised with the slightest
chance of a reversal of the recent policy
of exclusion of colored labor
No doubt the growing of tropical
produce upon the northern coast will be
prevented, if am right, but firmly be-
lieve that the Australian people have
made up their minds that the continent
is to be reserved for white men, and that
those Industries which cannot be sup
ported by white labor are not to be en-
couraged upon Australian soil.-Sil

Fate .af the ARK of the Coyenant.

1t will probably never be known what
became of the ark, of the covenant at the
time of the destruction and plumber of the
temple. Even conjectures concerning IA
are altogether useless. Some say that il
was taken away and destroyed by Nebu-
chadnezzar. The Jews believe that it was
acknowledgement from the spoilers,
and account it among the hidden things
which the Messiah is to reveal. 1t is adj
mitted, however, from an examination OF
all Jewish writers, that the old ark was
never in the second temple, and there is no
evidence on record to show that new one
was made.
1t is generally understood that the alb
sencS of the ark was one of the important
particulars in which the second temple
was regarded as inferior to that of Solo
mon. Josephus states that "the most holy
place" was vacant in the second temple;
certain rabbinical writers assert that its
place was simply marked by !; stone The
fact that Ezra, Nehemiah and the Macca-
bees frequently mention the other sacred
utensils, but never refer to the ark, seems
TO be an acknowledgement on their part
that they knew nothing of the great me
mortal of the coyenant.-St. Louis Repuh

1T is curious to notice the moral effect
of illness upon people, said a prominent
physician the other day For instance
among my patients are IL preacher who
swears when he is sick and a gambler
who prays. \ successful and well
known business man will not go to his
bed when illness attacks him because of
a morbid fear that he will never rise
from it again. A lady of not the prettiest
character has all her jewelry and fine
dresses laid on the foot of her bed, sup
pose to keep her mind from terrifying
thoughts. A hundred other peculiari-
ties are developed, but the most remark
able one to me is that of a professional
man who reads up in current literature
when he is really seriously i'll because he
hasn't time to do it when he's well. 20
