who have large stock of the goods, is
having benefcent effect upon the pub
lie health. Publicity is given the result
of the chemists investigation, and the
consumers learn, through the press,

contains coal tar color and salicylic

Ancient POLYNESIA.

SYDNEY, April q. = Mr.. F. w.
Christian, who IS months ago, under
the auspices of the Polynesian Society
of New Zealand, left to explore the
ruins of the Caroline and other islands
of the Pacific, has returned to Sydney.
At all the places he visited he found
extensive traces of Chinese and Jap
anese works, and was successful in Sc
curing many chronological specimens,
comprising numerous weapons and
tools. AS a result of explorations he is
satisfied that in the past an extensive
trade was carried on through the ISL
ands between China and Central Am
erica. He claims to have established a
chain of evidence pointing to the ex-
istence of an old civilization that will
explain the ancient civilization in Cen
trail America. Extensive inquiries
were made as to the traditions of the
islanders, and many discoveries were
made concerning the early history of
the Malays with regard to migration,
all proving that the Torres Straits
route to the Pacific was not taken, but
that voyages were made to many of
the Caroline Islands.

At the annual banquet of Cleve-
land. O.. Chamber of Commerce
Archbishop Ireland delivered an
address upon ''The Sure Founda-
ton of Citizenship that ought to
be read in every home, in every
nation where the spirit of demo
cracy rules. In closing his speech
the Archbishop quoted sentiment
uttered by Emerson that our peo-
pie may well ponder upon: ''The
true test of civilization is not the
causes, not the size Of cities, not
the crops, but the kind of men
the country turns" Our people
point with well merited pride to the
churches and the schools of the
country both of which are the
potent factors for higher state of
civilization, but we may well pause
to consider whether the national
industrial policy is in keeping with
the higher civilization of the
church and school. Are we add
ing men to the community whose
influence will be to raise our stand
ards? Are we making the size of
cities and the crops the paramount
issue? Are the people as a nation
carrying the civilizing principles
of the church and school into bust

Carbon filters, which have been in use
since the cholera epidemic of Septem-
Der, 1895, have recently been replaced
by the Eclipse Water Filter" which
comes as near clearing the drinking
water from any impurities as is pos
sible for any filter to accomplish. It
consists of a large metallic cylinder.
containing a porous earthen receiver.
AS the water from the pipes is forced
from the outer cylinder into the earth
en- receiver, all impurities remain on
the outside of the receiver and can
readily be removed with a brush or
can be burned out if necessary. The
water is drawn from a faucet at the
top Of the filter and is thus protected
from silt by gravity.

DECORATION DAY.

Erecting monuments TO CONNIE
morate the name and deeds of ma
tional heroes is custom that
reaches so far back in the history
of the world, that it may well be
termed a characteristic of human

rails in stone and bronze the people

United States alone and particular
Iy to the survivors of the war of the
Rebellion has remained the distinc-
ton of setting apart one day in the
year when the people with their
own hands shall erect anew
the monument to the honored
dead. Structures of stone raised

people the prominent heroes have
their place; they are in a measure

The institution of Decoration
Day, however, has brought about
a custom which appeals more
directly to the hearts of the
people and serves to keep brighter
the principles for which the men
of a fast dwindling generation
gave their lives. Each year the
people place above the graves of
soldiers of the Grand Army of the
Republic monument of flowers.
1t withers and dies, but each year
it is replaced, thereby turning the
mind of each and every citizen to
contemplation of what that monu-
ment represents. Memorials made
by unknown hands never will and
never can exert the same influence
upon the individual as the one
which he with his. hands assisted
In raising.
On Decoration Day it Is not
alone the leaders whose memory is
honored. There were heroes in the
rank and file, men whose names
were unknown beyond the limit of
their own company, but whose 10y
atty to home and country was none
the less true Leaders are useless
without the phalanx behind them
In which each individual is inspired
with the determination to act well
his part, to do his full duty as
man and a soldier. This tribute
to the soldier, to each and every
man who responded to the call
when his country was in peril is the
grand feature of the day. Even
those whose fate was to rest in the
grave marked unknown are not
forgotten.

To the men who lived to see the
consumation of the victory, this
monument of flowers is a loving
tribute to comrades. To the young
er generation it teaches the lesson
that the highest honor attainable
is gained In service for ones coun-
try and the support of the princi-
pies of freedom and justice, that
each citizen has more than a selfish
duty to perform whatever his sta
ton In life. 1t Is said that as long as
theveterans live their influence will
always be cast on the side of peace
and against hasty rush to arms
for the settlement of political diff
ferences. The annual assembling
of the people throughout the Unit
ed States and In this country where
American sentiment rules, calls to
mind the horrors of war as well
as its glories. The people are
brought in close touch with his
tory of the past and the lessons
it teaches. By no means the least
instructive features of today is,
that while it is high honor to fight
for the right, every pacific meas
ure should be brought into service
before resorting to the arbitrament
Of the bullet.

Tropical Fruits
A recent visitor to these
shores remarked the other
day, "HoW is 1T, that with
the abundant supply Of Tro-
pical Fruits one sees grow
ing in the grounds of private
residences here, it is difficult
to obtain choice fruit from
the stores
The answer is simple.
Because the fruit is
roughly plucked from the
trees, with the natural CON
sequence that it is bruised
and spoiled" The evil can
easily be remedied by the
investment Of 50 cents in a
Wire Fruit Picker. This
useful article will pick all
kinds of fruit, from the Ali
gator Pear to the Rose Apple.
1t can be attached to the end
of a pole and manipulated as
successfully as in the hand.
While on the subject of
fruits and trees, let US add a
word or two on the inhabi-
tantS thereof. Some birds
are pests, others are not.
What can be nicer about a
home than a couple of canar-
les, especially if you have a
pretty cage for them.

A PROFITABLE INQUIRY.

a pertinent question Ior many u
ask today is, 'Am 1 out of debit" The
new year has come, and the trades
man and the mechanic desire tc
balance their books. As they have
seen many names on the debit side
of the page, and they would like tc
see a corresponding entry on the
credit side. Readers, is one of these
names yours? If so, now is good
time to pay. The creditor needs his
money. Perhaps he is a debtor and
would like to extinguish his obligae
ton. He reads the exhortation' in
holy writ to owe no man anything
but love. He desires to fulfill it.
He feels it a disgrace to be chronic
debtor; but how can he pay others,
unless his debtors pay him?
Now everybody probably knows
that creditors count on debts being
paid at new years or Immediately
after. It is rational expectation.
1t will help to make the new year a
happier period to all parties. We
hope indeed, readers, that but few of
you are in debt. 1t is a kind of
vsssalage. We trust that most of
you pay as you go. It is q pleasant
feeling to entertain that one has
money in his pocket but
his own. II is not agreeable to be
dunned. The way to avoid it,
however, is for one to contract no
debts. Pay as you go. But if one
is in debt the honest course is to
cancel it as soon as possible One
can thereby gain sense of personal
But if one has
through sickness or coercive eircum-
stances contracted debt, let him pay
it as quickly as possible.
We urge this duty the more be-
cause there are some people who
feel no shame at mourning debts
They fancy it is desirable to put off
payment as long as possible. They
often have the money in their
pockets which could liquidate obli>
cations, and yet are anxious TO keep
it there. We confess that we cam
not understand such peoples feel

but find more delightin pay

But the beginning of new year is
\ good time to cure habits of pro-
,rastination. If you have creditors
hey want their money. We hear

iustrious men that they never found

seems to have money. But some
