CONTROLLING ONES TEMPER

Do you not sometimes feel as If
you had a hyena or some other wild
beast within you? 1t Is so hard to
control your angry passions Re-
Gently in meeting where there
was a grave question under debate.
a man who has a very acute mind
and who had a good deal Of truth
on his side did harm to himself ard
his couse by getting angry, so that
even his friends had to admit that
he had doue wrong. Everybody
interested in the truth felt that it
was great pity.
Young persons may learn a yalu-
able lesson from this man, and begin
now to hold their passions in check,
so that they will be able to control
them when they grow older. If
you become angry in defending the
truth, people will be apt to think
that you are more concerned for
yourself and your own reputation
than for the triumph of the right.
You will gain nothing, and may lose
everything, by flying into a passion.
1t will cloud your mind so that you
cannot think clearly, and then you
are apt to say things that are not
true, things that you may have to
recall or make an apology for
How often, when angry, we say
things of which we are afterwards
ashamed How we wish we could
unsay them! Had we been calm,
we would have been able to think
twice, and the unwise words never
would have escaped ourlips. Many
a person has said or done things in
the heat of passion that have been
remembered against him as long as
he lived.
Have you not noticed, too, that
those persons who fly all to pieces, "
as we say, when they are provoked,
are never looked upon as very reli-
able persons when some great work
is to be done or some great cause
defended? 1t is the person who
can hold himself well in check who
is trusted in trying times. Even on
the playground you are always hav-
ing trouble with the boy or girl who
is like tinder box or case of dyna-
mite.
But, remember, you can be earn
est without getting angry. A boy
or girl who is not in earnest about
his play or study or work will not
amount to much; but you can be
good -natured and yet be very earn
est in what you do. Let Christ
"hold" you.-Weckly Magnet.

PRODUCT OF IMPORTED ORES
RULING CONCERNING DUTY ON
REFINED LEAD.
When Refined In Bond and Not Ex-
ported Within Six Months Must
Pay Duty On the Ore.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Solicitor Cen
eral Richards has rendered an opinion
in which he holds that under section
295, tariff act of July "A, 1897, if the
refined metal set aside as the product
of imported lead ore is not re-exported
within six months from the date of the
receipt of the ore, the regular duties
must be paid on the imported ore and
not upon the refined metal produced
therefrom. In the course of his opinion
MIR. Richards says:
of course. when the refined metal
is removed from the bonded Smelter for
domestic consumption, there is a de-
parture from the primary purpose of
the section and the product of the
bonded smelter, instead of being eX-
ported, enters at once into competition
in the home market with the product
of the nom bonded smelter. The nom
bonded smelter, if it uses imported ore,
has to pay a duty on the full amount
OF the imported ore, no allowance be-
ing made for estimated wastage in
the subsequent process of refining. In
other words, the lead produced in a
non-bOnded smelter bears the total
duty paid on the lead contents of the
imported ore, as ascertained by assay
on importation, without any abatement
on account Of loss incurred in the
smelling.
"On what could the regular duties be
paid except upon imported ore? 1t
alone was the dutiable article, the
thing actually imported, the thing on
which the regular duties would have
been paid had it not gone into the
smelter TO be refined for export. The
duties are to be paid, not within six
months from the setting aside of the
refined metal, but within six months
from the receipt of the ore. The bond
ed smelter was created to refine ore
for expectation. ore imported for this
purpose goes into the sTnelter free of
duty. 1t escapes the regular duties for
q purpose and in the case of lead ore
this purpose must be carried out with
in six months or the exemption ceases,
the regular duties must be paid and
the imported lead ore and its refined
product placed upon the same footing
with lead ore imported in the ordinary
way"

RACE OF GIANTS DISCOVERED
PACIFIC ISLAND NATIVES SEW
EN- FEET TALL.
British Gunboat Made the Discovery

Vancouver. 3. c.. Dec. 30-The Royal
Mail steamship Warrimoo arrived this
morning from Sydney N. S. W., We'll
lington, N. T.. Suva, Fijian islands and
Honolulu.
The British gunboat Goldfinch, which
recently returned to Sydney. took part
in annexing Duff islands. Cherry
islands and other places. But at Cherry
Islands some gigantic natives. wearing
long boards, came on board and caused
come surprise. There were no women
to be seen about, said an officer. but
the great stature of the men. some
seven feet in height. was remarkable.
Rubina natives were found to be head
hunting on an extensive scale. and the
Goldfnch went to look for an alleged
island charted as Mutili island. but was
not successful
Mitre island, which was annexed in
the cruise, is found to be uninhabited,

II. NJ. S. Penguin has been surveying
in the neighborhood of Haapi. The prin-
cipal change will be the disappearance
altogether of Metis island from the
chart. This island, in 1880. was $50 feet
high, and there was now no sign of 1t,
beyond a reef which was beneath it.
The case is no doubt similar to that of
Falcon island, in a more southerly part
of the group, which was discovered
some months ago to be non-existent.

CLUE IN THE POISONING CASE
FORMER NEW YORK CLUB MAN
UNDER SUSPICION.
Had Been Expelled From the Knick-
erbocker Club and Blamed Cornish
Regarded As a Degenerate.

New York, Dec. 31.-The World says:
Captain George McClusky, chief of the
detective bureau, firmly believes that
he has solved the mystery surrounding
the attempt to kill Harry Cornish, ply
sical instructor of the Knickerbocker
Athletic club, by sending him poison
through the mails. At o'clock last
night Captain McClusky stated that he
would have the culprit in custody
within twelve hours.
The name of the suspected murderer
is withheld from publication, lest its
announcement should defeat the ends
of justice. The man under surveillance
was formerly a member of the Knicker-
booker Athletic club. He was at one
time man of high social and finan-
cial standing in this city, but in late
years. through evil habits and evil as
sociations, his descent was rapid
From being unpopular in the athletic
club he latterly developed into a per-
son with whom the members of the
club thought that they could not as
sociate. Things finally reached such a.
pass that special meeting of the club
was called to act upon his case, and he
was ignominiously expelled.
II ID wen hilOWIl lHdI ne, from the
first, associated Mr.. Cornish with the
revelation of facts which led to this
action.
All who know the person in question
find but one word with which to char
acterize him. He is spoken of by them
as one of the worst types of hopeless
and malicious degenerates. It is said
that he took the action of the club in
eXpelllnS him with bitter resentment
1t is also said that he had concentrated
this feeling upon certain members of
the club in particular, and conspicuous
among them was Mr.. Cornish.
With these general facts to guide
them, the police set out to find evidence
that would connect this person with
the deadly parcel, which was delivered
to Mr.. Cornish by the postman at the
Knickerbocker Athletic club on Sat
urday. The first definite clue was the
tracing of the little silver toothpick
holder, which came with the parcel of
poison from the manufacturer to a re-
tail dealer. This dealer the police vis-
tied, and from him obtained a minute
and detailed description of the man
who purchased the silver article in
question. This description tailed with
almost Photographic exactness with
the appearance, clothing and general
mannerisms of the man under suspi-
c1on by Captain McClusky and his de-
tectlves. The chain of evidence is now
said to be almost complete. and the
arrest may be made at any moment

FILIPINO STATEMENT.
Vigorous Denial of Commissioner
Harden's Allegations.

Hongkong, Dec. 3O.-The Filipino
junta has replied to the report of Com
missioner Harden, who was sent to the
Philippines by the government of the
United States to report on the condition
there prevailing. The junta asked the
Associated Press to publish the follow
ing as revealing the true situation and
sentiment in the Philippines:
we deny that Aguinaldo will be sat
isfied if made d major general IN the
command of five native regiments, and
that if this is done the national army
could be disarmed and disbanded.
We repeat our appeal for an i'm
partial inquiry by an able commissioned
and implore the American people 10 re
frain from a hasty decision.
The Filipino government views with
alarm Commissioner Harden's proposal
to impose in America q high protective
tariff against Philippine products.

chief, has been selected to be ruler
He is said to be favorable to the Amer

The British cruiser Buenaventura has
gone to Iloilo to protect British inter

port that the insurgents at Iloilo are
inclined to surrender that town to the
Americans if satisfied as to the form of

Francis Portusach, whom the officers
of the United States cruiser Charleston
left in charge of the Ladrone islands,
being the only American citizen there,

HOSTILITY OF RUSSIA.
Beginning Campaign Against the
Nicaragua Canal.

Beginning a Campaign Against the
Nicaragua Canal.
New York, Dec 3O.-A dispatch from
Paris says: The Herald's European
edition prints the following:
Russia is evidently beginning a cam
paign against the Nicaragua canal.
The NovOe Vremya publishes an art
icle not only warmly advocating the
Panama scheme, but filled with bitter
dislike of the United States.
The writer says the predominance of
the United States would have been de-
sirable for Russia a few years ago, but
all this has changed since the last war.
The writer goes to say that, having de-
spoiled Spain, the United States has be-
come a colonial power and an Asiatic
power.
Forgetting the Monroe doctrine OF
America for Americans, which lmDileS
the other doctrine that American do
miniOn must be confined to America.
the Yankees, he says, are now enter
ing into open competition with US IN
China and Corea. They have no scrupies
over an alliance with their traditional
enemy, England, and with Japan. for
this purpose.
For this reason Russian fnanciers
and diplomats ought to give their sup
port to the French undertaking. when
it comes to seriously dlscardlnS tne
naturalization of the Panama canal and
placing it under the general control or
the guarantee Of the European ana
American powers.
The writer declares the Panama route
would be more beneficial To ttussld THAN
the Nicaragua route.

her that she became hysterical. No

A DILATORY REFEREE.
Interesting Developments In the Ohio
Standard Oil FIGHT.

Columbus, o., Dec. 30.-Attorney Gen
eral Monnett filed d motion in the su
preme court this evening, asking that
the order appointing Allen T. Brins-
made referee in the suit instituted
against the Standard Oil company, be
rescinded, and that the testimony be
taken directly in open court. The at
torney general also asks that the Off
GERS, employees and agents of the
Standard Oil company be compelled to
bring into court all books and papers
that may be demanded in evidence.
The hearing before the referee has
been in progress for several weeks and
the attorney general has become impa-
tient over the repeated delays and post
pone Tacuts and failure Of the defend
ants l., produce records. In his petit
ton the attorney general says:
TT will appear manifest to the court
from the record of the referee Allen
r. Brinsmade, that he has yielded to
the applications for continuance and
delays, and it will be absolutely impos-
sible to furnish the court the necessary
information by reason of said delay
The state is informed and believes that
mentary evidence have already been
destroyed since the former adjournment
of said referee, on or about Noy. 10,
1898, and the order of said court on
Dec. Z, 1898; that it is further manifest
from the proceedings for the last year
in attempting to bring before this court
the evidence ordered to be produced,
which should have been furnished by
defendant company within one week S
time, has been refused this court by
systematic delay
