1t is an odd theory, yet no doubt
the correct one, that the coast area
of Europe has probably had more to
do with the commercial and social
supremacy of that continent than
any other cause. Investigation will
show that Europe has a mile of coast
for every 1G4 square miles of its
land urea, while the Americas,
which rightly come next, have $50
square miles of land to every mile
of coast. Asia has 376 miles and
Africa $50 square miles to each mile
of coast. The low order of culture
still prevailing on the dark CONT
nent, though its history is as old as
that Of any other portion Of the
world, is almost indisputable evil
dence of the correctness of this the
ory.

The Oldest Book.

The oldest book in the world to
which Il positive date can DO assign
ed is an assortment of proverbs
somewhat after the style of the
proverbs collected by Solomon. The
work is accredited to Ptah- hotep,
an Egyptian king, and Psychologists
assign to it an antiquity Of at least:
5000 B. e. Abraham was called to
leave his hDinu in Ur of the Chal-
dees, 1921 L. G., SO that this volume
was written l, 100 years before the
beginning of Jewish history. The
deluge is placed by most chrUnolo-
gists ut b. &. 234S so tho book, If it's
dating il. correct, must have been
written before the flood. Methuse-
lab was bonn B. e. 33l1. SO that this
papyrus was prepared and these
proverbs were collected when the
oldest man OH record was lively
young fellow of 300 years.

Livingst0ne's Bible.

At st. Matthew's church, Edin-
burgh, recently mission exhibition
was held and among the relics on
show were several that had ito do
with DR.. Livingstone. Included in
the latter was the Bible that DR..
Livingstone carried with him across
Africa in his first great journey of
exploration. The Bible, which is a
dumpy octave volume from the OK
ford University Press, is dated 1886,
and has tho explorers name legibly
written across the title; also from
top to bottom of the page, in his own
handwriting, there is the legend:
"The Bible which went with me in
all my wanderings in Africa. David
Livingstone. "
This volume was lent by the ex-
plorer's daughter, Mrs. Bruce of
Edinburgh, who in reply to a ques-
ton addressed to her informs us
that the Bible came home in one of
DR.. Livingstone's boxes which he
had left in Bombay. He evidently
only used this special one during
his first explorations and had an
other during his later ears.-Peri-

the insertion of the notorious clause

matter which may seriously affect

statesmen who haye been approached
on the subject have allowed that 1t
"slipped in unnoticed," but there
must have been some powerful
agency at work to have brought it all
about so quietly, and to Speaker
Reed must fall large share of the

Here is Carl Schurz's way of look
ing at things, which, however, he
doesn't expect to meet the approval
of practical politicians:
believe that party organization
is not an end in itself, but merely a
means for the attainment OF public
ends. |, therefore, do not worship IL
political party as divinity entitled
to my devotion under all circumstan-
ces, but regard it simply as an Or
ganization Of citizens standing to-
gether for public objects on which
they agree. believe, and have al
ways believed, that whenever such
agreement on essential points ceases,
and whenever citizen becomes CON.
scientlously convinced that he will
serve the public welfare by making,
either temporarily or permanently, a
change of party relations, it is not
only his moral right but his duty to
make 1t. Moreover, l believe that
any doctrine to the contrary is highly
dangerous to the integrity of free in
situations.

A curious specimen of tramp
was in this section recently, says a
Bellows Falls dispatch. He is Il
man of fine physique, dressed in
white canvas. On his head he wears
what looks like an old-fashioned
night cap; under his coat, strapped
around HIM, is an old army belt, in
which is stuck murderous looking
knife and a revolver. He is never
seen except in the night. He passed
through town last Saturday on one
of the early morning freights, riding
i'm Il coal car. A train hand passing
over the train at first sight of him
was so frightened that he nearly
jumped from the rapidly moving
train. To the railroad boys he stat
eel that he belonged to the navy and
was looking tor a deserter.

Why 1t Is Foolish to buy Your Way
Through Custom House.
Whether or not the customs au-
thorities of American ports are in
earnest in their attempts to suppress
bribery, the sad fact is that 1t goes
on, though by no means to the ex-
tent commonly supposed. 1t goes
on and public opinion does not sup
press it. To dodge taxes and to
bride custom house officials, to de-
ceivo the assessor and the inspector
are veniul sins in the eyes of many
people who would not cheat their
neighbOrs or steal cent. When
public opinion does not frown on Il
public practice, however sinful or
criminal that practice may be, it is
hypocritical in writer to content
himself with an abstract, denuncia-
tion of it. Lot me leave the right
and wrong of the thing to the NOR
alist and take the more practical
course of pointing out the folly Of it.
To the fashionable woman who
tries to smuggle in $1,000 worth of
laces I have nothing to say. TO the
man who sews diamonds in his
clothes have nothing to say. My
advice will be solely to the traveller
who brings home with him, a rea-
sonable amount of clothing and the
ordinary mementos and bric-a-brao
one picks up i'll foreign tour. Such
a'person wastes every cent he gets
stealthily into the hands of an in
spector. Uncle Sam is not petty
and inquisitorial in this matter! He
seeks to tax only those who mako
large purchases abroad. Itwo1ld
not do for him to say in So many
words that you can bring inca pack
of playing cards, but not 3 packs
OF 10 packs or 100 packs. But he
isn't going to turn your trunk up
side down for the sake of finding
solitary pack Of cards. He is will
ing you should bring in clothing to
an extent and Of quality'suitable
to your station in life, and he says
go. He is willing you should bring
in such curios and souvenirs of
slight value as you can easily carry
in your luggage. "a,
When his representative, seated
in the cabin while the boat is COM
ing up the harbor, asks you to sign
statement that you have nothing
dutiable, he knows perfectly we'll
that the chances are 100 to 1 against
your being able to make that state
ment and yet tell tho truth in the
tiniest detail. 1t is, in short, case
where everybody recognizes that
the spirit of the law is of more i'm
portance than the letter.
Even if you have with you the re-
suits Of such purchases as the franz
ers of tariff legislation meant to
reach, it will usually be cheaper to
pay the duty than to bride. Sup
pose it does cost you $40 to SIS
more, isn't it better to have a clear
conscience, and, besides feeling that
you have done the square thing to
Uncle Sam yourself, know that you
have tempted none of his employees
to violate his oath, as well as run
the risk of losing his places Par
don this bit of moralizing. 1t is
