RUSSIA BUYS GOLD.
United States Will Have Competition
in the English Market.

London, May 1.-THE ST James Ga
zette, in it's financial article this after
noon, says:
Russia today is said to have COM
pleted the purchase of the whole of the
recent arrivals of gold from the Cape.
Such a transaction is exceptional, as a
considerable time has elapsed since
Russia entered the English market
United States, gold should shortly be
higher. Russia paid IT'S 91ad, but If the
United States demands had not tenn
porari1y ceased, it is questionable if
the price would not have been above
rs 10d. 1t is thought Russia will buy
frequently hereafter. If so, it will be
another indication of the direction of
the political wind

FIRST BLOOD FOR MINERS.
Judge Simons Holds That the Anti
Scrip Law is Valid

Fort Scott, May 1.-THE new Kansas
law intended to prohibit corporations
from paying their employees in scrip and
from operating company stores was to-
day sustained in the Kansas court of
appeals of the southern department.
which affirmed the decision of Judge
SimOnS of the district court here
The law was attacked by some of the
big coal mining companies, which were
materially affected by it. They took
the ground that the extension of the
police favors, as contemplated by the
law, affected private contracts and was
therefore unconstitutional. The cues
tlon Will probably go to the United
States supreme court.

Portrait-Making for Boys and Girls.

POrtrait-Making for Boys and Girls.
A. w. writes to the editor of the
children's department to ask if there
is any money to be made in the por-
trait business, as conducted by large
firms that advertise Sc extenslVely.
His daughter is anxious to make liV-
ing for herself and has thought OF APP
plying to one of these firms for work.
They advertise to furnish instructions
and materials for certain price, and
after the person has learned the art
will furnish all the work the pupil can
do at home. He wants to know II
such firms are reliable and agreeable
to deal with. Answer: AS to the spe-
cial firms spoken of, the editor is
unable to give any definite informa-
ton, but on general principles the
persons or firms who advertise to fur
nish work of this kind to be done at
home are not paying very remunerative
prices. When there are thousands OF
artists in all our cities, good artists,
too, who can scarcely make both ends
meet, it seems unlikely that artistic
work, portraits, crayons, and the ike,
can be sent and returned from all
parts of the country and handled at
profit, and still pay the artists living
prices for making them. 1t is a nice
and pleasant occupation for leisure
hours, and to acquire some knowledge
Of drawing and coloring is desirable.
If you have the facilities, why not let
your daughter raise poultry, flowers.
mushrooms or fruit. There is always
a demand for fine products of all sorts.
Prepare some necessity for market,
some inexpensive and palatable article
of fruit if possible and seek a market
for it. The true secret of success is
to offer articles that everybody wants.
If they are good there will be no trou-
BILE in disposing of them, and at a
good figure. In times of business de-
preston people can get along without
crayons or portraits, but they must
have good things to eat and drink and
wear, and they are always willing to
pay for them.

PEELED ninety-one Tartar invasions, any
one of which, ii successful, would have
at least jeopardized the existence Of
European civilization, says the Amer
lean Catholic Review. For many CEN
turtles that chivalry was the sole bar
rier of Europe against the triumph OF
Museovite ambition, and the reason Of
the Polish success is to be found, not
In the unQuestionable valor of the Po-
fish heart, not in any solidity of the
government which directed that valor,
bat in the religious tie which bound
the Poles tOgether-the only tie which
this FESTIVE people have ever regarded
as unbreakable. This is the most sal
lent fact in all Polish history. The
political constitution of Poland was
the most faulty in Christendom, prob
ably in the world; and precisely be-
cause of that constitution her history
is that of an almost continual civil war
"a condition of things which in any
other land would have rendered for
eign invasion synonymous with nation
al ruin. But, so long as the religious
tie remained, Poland could have 1907
600 masters in the persons Of her frac-
tious mobiles; the entire people could be
serfs; and there would be but one law
and one country for every Polander.
For many centuries the battle hymn
of this warlike race was a beautiful
canticle in honor of our lady, which
| had been composed by the martyr st.
Adalbert, the first apostle of Northern
Poland; and to mention only one of
the many customs which show how the
Catholic spirit was identified with Po-
iish patriotism, what lesson the Po-
lish boy received when, while assist
ing. st mass, he noticed that at the
reading of the gospel every noble drew
his aword halfway out of the scab-
bard, in sign of his sworn devotion to
! the faith, even unto death.

many ancient monuments. 1t was
adopted by the chivalry of the middle
ages, and has often decorated the
trophies in military fetes.
Our ancestors attributed to the tooth
of the Narwhal, which they called the
tooth of the Unicorn, marvellous me-
dicinal virtues. They considered it an
infallible antidote to all poisonous sub
stances; they were persuaded that it
counteracted all the hurtful properties
of venomous substances. Charles TX,
dreading least he should be poisoned
was very careful to put into his cup of
wine piece of the Sea Unicorn's tooth
AMBROSE Pare was the first who dared
to lift up his voice against such err
rors.
Very soon after the Unicorn ceased
to be an object sought after on account
of its rarity and it's supposed virtues.
1t then passed from the apothecary's
laboratory to the naturalist's collection,
where it was long preserved under the
name of horn or tusk of the Unicorn.
The true nature of this horn was
shown for the first time by a naturalist

Advice to a Girl.

II can not forbear pointing out TO
you, my dearest child" said a distin-
guished statesman to his daughter,
"the great advantages that will result
from a temperate conduct and sweet
ness Of manner to all people, on all &c
casions. Never forget that you are Il
woman; all your words and actions
should make you gentle. never heard
your mother-your dear, good moth r
say a harsh or hasty thing to any
person in my life. Endeavor to imi-
tate her. I am quick and hasty in my
temper; but, my darling, it is mis-
fortune, which, not having been suf-
fieiently restrained in my youth, has
caused me more trouble to subdue this
impetuosity than anything l ever I'M
dertook."

1 once met little fellow on the
road carrying a basket of blackberries,
and said to him:
Sammy, where did you get such
berries?"
"Over there, sir, in the briers."
won't your mother be glad to see
you come home with basketful of
such nice, ripe fruit?"
Eyes, sir" said Sammy, "she always
seems glad when l show her the ber-
ries, and I don't tell her anything
about the briers in my feet"
I rode on. But Sammy's remarks
had given me a lesson; and resolved
that henceforth in my daily life l
would try to think of the berries, and
say nothing about the briers.

GOOD Tomnsr and Health.

One of the signs of mental health is
equanimity of temper, and the ability
to bear with indifference or even
pleasure the little trials of life, and
especially those which come from
scolding, petulant, cross, irritable per-
sons. To this end the art of not hear
ing too much should be learned. There
are so many things which it is so pain
full to hear, very many of which, if
heard, will disturb the temper, corrupt
simplicity and modssty and detract
from health and happiness. If per-
son falls into a violent passion and
calls one all manner of names, and we
can shut our ears and not hear it, or
If we can laugh at the words instead
of becoming excited, it is a sign of a
healthy nervous system.
