tenn will get the good that is offered

experience shows, however, that the
present fills the eye of the 1nexperl-
enced and that so long as promotion
is gained without much self effort no
great self-exertion will be made, ana
retarded development results
Assuming that our course Of study is
reasonable, necessary, logical In ar
rangement and within the scope OF the
average mind, the other ground or pro-
motion Is the fact of acquisition ana OF
power. The advocates of this system
hold that the preliminary work of each
preceding grade shall have been COM
Melted before the succeeding grade
work is attempted. And this is the
reason: Mind development is full OF
law. Certain things can be learned,
certain relations ascertained, GER
tain laws inductively known, certain
generalizations made, better at certain
times than at other times, because OF
known conditions which have become
part of our mental and of our physical
life. These earlier and simpler pro-
cesses and acquisitions are the basis
of the succeeding later and more COM
plete relations.
This is the rule we establish. From
the one to the one plus, from the simple
| to the complex, with the known, as q
| logical necessity to the attacking and
conquering the unknown and making
| 1t, in turn, the known" the solid
| foundation for the next step.
| These steps we build by hard work.
The face of each step bears the word "ac.
| QUESTION, the tread, the word power. 4
And these are to tested by frequent and
comprehensive examinations. There is
no chance here for 81 guess So" "it
! seems So" or for IT think So"
| Power to do comes from the existence
of some fact and never from a mere

must be as much a part of myself as
any physical fact. The fact that "the
whole is greater than any of it's parts
! is more a fact than that my hand is
part Of my body" for in the latter
case fact can cease; in the former it Is

| The advocates of the acquisition and
power system hold that there are GER

safy and universal. From these certain

lions are conclusions which, formally

church in this city took place Sun
day forenoon in the presence of
large number of people. The service
commenced at 1890 a. m. and con
tinued for two hours.
The dedication ceremony com
menced when Rev. j. Beusman, fol-
lowed by Rt. Rev. A. j. Glorieux,
bishop OF the diocese of Idaho, and
an attendant, proceeded from the
alter down the center aisle to the out
side OF the beautiful little church,
where the sprinkling Of the church
commenced 1t was sprinkled out
side and in, according to an ancient
custou0f the church, and then the
bishopand the assisting priest pro-
ceeded to the altar, where mass was
said.
After short time at mass, the
dedication sermon was preached by
the bishop, and it was masterful
effort. In it he pointed out clearly
and splendidly the mission of true
christian and the great duty OF the
church. 1t was listened to with rapt
attention by the large assemblage.
The bishop lie man of exceptional
ability and is forceful speaker, and
on this occasion especially did he
please and interest his hearers.
Mass was resumed for short time
after the sermon, and then the beau
tiful and impressive service came to
a close. The usual music inter
spersed the mass, before and after
the sermon, Mrs; billiard presiding at
the organ and Prof. Van Schoick
assisted on a violin, and it was a
pleasing feature of the program, hav-
ing been very we'll rendered. The
decorations of potted plants, fir boughs
and the usual altar ornamentations
we're very fine and added much to
the appearance of the church.
The Catholic society is to be con-
graduated on the fine little edifce
they have erected, and it stands "a
an evidence of relentless energy and
progressiveness on the part of the
people OF that faith who have worked
to that end under many discouragipp
circumstances.
Inere will be no resident priest for
the present, but services will be held
here occasionally by one from out
side.
The bishop wishes through the col
umns OF the SIGNAL to thank the
people of Weiser and vicinity for
their encouragement and liberal SUP.

SEVERELY BOERs

A subterranean city exists in Galicia,
Austrian Poland, which contains a
population of over 1000 men, women
and children, many of whom have
never seen the light Of day.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1899-06-16

In North America one of the largest
of the weasel family is the fisher" a
very large, long-furred pOlecat, living
mainly by the waterside, and, like
many others of the tribe very partial
to fish. 1t weighs about sixteen
pounds, and its long, richly cOlored fur
is exported In great quantities to diff
ferent parts of Europe, though not
often used in this country. A trapped
fisher" will attack anyone who comes
In reach of the trap chain, and when
free will beat off any dog of twice its
size. But perhaps the most striking
example of the courage of the smaller
species yet recorded is that known as
the fishing eat, which, though no rela-
tiOn, to the Canadian fisher" is quite
as courageous. One of these, which
was kept in a menagerie, broke
through into the next cage, and there
attacked and killed a leopard which
was three times its own size.
The Indian mOngOOse possesses all
the courage of the polecat, together
with amiability and a regulated"
mind. 1t turns its pluck and prowess
TO good ends, and we imagine it to
stand at the head of the list of the
smaller animals If quality as well as
quantity is demanded as a mark of
lntrepldity. There is no doubt that the
mOngOOse realizes the deadly nature OF
the cObra's bite. Its intense excite
ment is strong evidence of this. But
a mOngOOse has been known TO fight
just as brayely against other foes.

A THRILLING OCCURRENCE
But 1t Eventually brought India Under
England's Control.

How many people are aware that
England owes its vast Indian empire
to a variation OF three shillings
pound in the price of pepper. And yet
such is the case, and it throws an in
teresting light upon the tdiosyncrasies
OF the English character.
In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from the
Dutch, who brought it from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from
three shillings to six shillings per
pound. This petty display of ill-feel-
ing caused considerable annoyance to
the English merchants, and aroused
in them that feeling OF independence
which has always been so character
istic Of the race.
They determined to import their
pepper direct from In lila in their own
ships, and for this purpose formed a
company, called The Governor and
Company of Merchants Of London
Trading to the East Indies" and which
In later days became eventually known
as the East India COMPANY,
Their first voyages embroiled them
in almost innumerable quarrels with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for a
time the venture proved a financial
| failure. It was not until 1915 that the
/ company became successful and OBJ
tanned lucrative treaties, owing to their
decisively defeating the Portuguese.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased. slowly at first,
and then very rapidly, until, by the
wise and beneficial management OF
such men as Give, Warren Hastings
and CORVALLIS, they exercised SOW
ereignty over the greater portion OF
| India.
In this manner 1t happened that an
increase in the price OF pepper momen-
] tously affected the history OF mankind.
