in the ores. Ores are of Importance
and are very rare with the exception
of iron; they occur in beds and veins.
The gold and silver produced in the
United States is obtained through
quartz and placer mining chiefly; cop
per is produced Though copper pyrites
The regions of Lake Superior and Mon
tana have the largest copper mines in
the world.
In history geology has also played an
important part: by determining the an
nual deposit of the Nile the geologist
can tell when the pyramids and monu-
ments We're built: and in the excava-
ton of the ancient city of Friene last
year many relics of antiquity were
brought to light. This city flourshed
when the Greek art was at its highest.
SO it is seen that a person should have
a knowledge of geology as we'll as the
other sciences to become a well-rounded
scholar; and all those engaged in min
ing, etc, may reap a benefit by the
study of this subject for it is those
who are engaged in the actual working
of the rocks, who, provided they have
the requisite geological training, can
best advance the science by the coliec-
ton of new facts, and thus aid in the
development of those mineral resources
to which England owes her present po-
stion among the nations.

The Augustan Age-Mary Kel1ett.

1t has been we'll and truly said that
''the most precious, the grandest in
heritance of a people is that peoples
history" All that forms the national
character of a people is found in Their
history, as the effect is found in its
cause, as the autumn speaks of the
spring.
To analyze a peoples character We
must go back to the deep recesses of
their history. and by doing this we find
that the nation of to-day is but the off,
spring of the nation of ages long past.
Therefore let us look back in the an
mails of history, about one-half century
before the Christian era, and We find
that the empire of Rome comprehended
the fairest part of the earth. During
this era the Romans were triumphant
in every conquest, but it was reserved
for one man to relinquish this ambi-
tious desire to subdue the whole earth
and introduce a spirit of moderation
into public councils. This man, who
was to undertake this task, was Caesar
Augustus. Born of family of distinC-
ton, both ancient and rich, it seems
but natural that Augustus should hand
down to us a brilliant history. He
was but years old at the time of his
fathers death. so at the early age of
Is he assumed the robe of manhood.
The reign of Augustus, otherwise
known as the Augustan age, was one
of the brightest in Rome's history; it
was the age of power and glory of
Rome, of general peace and prosperity.
During the widespread peace of this
reign occurred one of the most extra
ordinary events recorded in history,
the nativity of the Savior of mankind,
that which has since introduced a new
epoch into the chronology of all Chris
tan nations. This age was also pc
culiarly favorable to literary activity,
for being an age of peace, literature
found the highest development possible
under it's quiet influence.
Horace, the wit that never wounded,
the poet that ever charmed is remem-
bered by his satres, in which he imi-
tates earlier writer's, and himself says:
1.-THE shafts of my passion at random I
And dashing headlong into petulant
rhyme.
I rocked neither where, nor how
fiercely I stung.'
The death of Augustus brought an
end to this illustrious reign. And this
noble man passed away, who had been
like a
"Tower of strength,
Which stood full square to all winds
that flew"
In reviewing the history of Rome we
find that the "Augustan age" forms one
of the most remarkable periods in the
history of human intellect.

Reading is the gaining of thought by

the power of so delivering the words
orally that the same thought and feel

us the best of lifes benefits. Here IS
where we can be in close intimacy
with the noblest of intellects or in COM
munion with the best thoughts of the
ages. In reading We should take what
we read into our brains, which are the
laboratories. study it with due earnest
ness and then reject or utilize accord
ing to conviction. We should read with
attention. To gain the power and habit
of attention is great difficulty. The
want of this habit is why so many find
reading tiresome: let them acquire this
habit of attention, and reading, instead
of being a task, becomes a pleasure.
Culture is the training or discipline
by which mans moral intellect and
physical nature is elevated. The result
of such training is refinement. How

sacrifice. of great purposes draw us out
from ourselves and cause us to all live

arrived from a foreign land. We give it
the warmest and most courteous well

argument of its kind since st. Paul.

Kaiser Wilhelm-Harry Talent.

At time when much is being written
of a possible dissolution of the friendly
relations which have hitherto been
maintained between the United States
and the German empire, the character
of Emperor William II. takes on new
interest for Americans.
Frederic William Victor Albert, the
third emperor of reunited Germany, was
born al Berlin Jan. 81, 1854.
William II. is gifted with such strik
ing combination of both mind and will
as has distinguished no occupant of
the Prussian throne since it was vacat-
ed by Frederic the Great.
He was given a public school educa-
ton, which was the first of its kind in
the history of the Hohenzollerns. Just
after he finished school he married the
Princess Victoria and then devoted
himself to military duties. He first
served in the First Foot Guards and
then in the Hussars of the Guard,
where he soon became colonel. Never
had any German prince entered the
army with less apparent fitness from
the physical point of view to become
brilliant and dashing cavalry officer
than Prince William.
At the death of his father Prince Will
lam was now Kaiser Wilhelm :! His
father aimed to be a citizen king. but
he, on the contrary, wanted above all
things to be a soldier sovereign. I'VE
belong to each other, I and the army"
said the emperor when Speaking of the
past relationship between the emperor
and the army.
1t was not Is months after the en-
peror'S accession that Bismarck was
put out of office, for one was old and
the other was young. Both had strong
will power, so they did not get along

self to be one of the most remarkable
men of his time, and gives ample prom

with the very keenest interest by all

The Iron Chancellor-CIyde Brown.

The need of the time brings forth the
man. An excellent proof of this state
ment may be had by referring to the
history of Germany in the early part of
the 18th century. At that time the ma
ton was badly disunited and it seemed
as if Providence then foresaw the need
of a free thinker and statesman for
the purpose of reorganizing and unity
ing it into a mighty empire. For there
was born on April !, 1915. at Schon-
hansen, a youth who afterwards proved
to be just the man needed. This youth,
Otto Leopold Bismarck. was of good
parentage and through his veins flowed
some of the best blood that was to be
found between the Baltic and the Elbe.
Young Bismarck's school days began
with his entrance into the boarding
school at Berlin and ended with his
graduation from the law college at the
same place. His career as school
boy, although somewhat checkered,
showed hard study and careful prepar-
alton of lessons.
For his faithful service to the gov
eminent he was sent as ambassador to
Russia to watch the interests of his
government there. For if there were
any political castles or stronghods to
be subjected, Bismarck was the man
to do it; and it is said that this epoch
marks the foundation of his future
greatness.
His whole life may be expressed in
the simple sentence, THE founder of
the German empire but in this age no
other individual has done so much for
the welfare Of his country as has Bis
marck for Germany. AS a servant of.
the government he certainly was a
faithful one, having been in it's employ
for period of more than 20 years. AS
politician and statesman he had but
few equals. His policy as a general
rule was one of war; but he never en-
tered into one unless he considered it
an inevitable necessity. His mission
was undoubtedly that of unifier and
parliamentaran, and in this aspect We
need only to consider Germany and her
standing among the nations in order to
see the success of his mission. His ca
reer has been one of the most brilliant
that has graced the pages of European
history and the name and fame which
he achieved for himself and country
will remain immortal in the minds of
the future generations of the civilized
world.

was well attended, and all passed off in
good American mass meeting style. John

old sugar parish had most people there.
But this mass meeting settled nothing,
indeed it only seemed to add fuel to the

then crowding in to New Iberia, with their
peculiar notions of self-government. In
the meantime, their young leader was
leaving no stone unturned, and every ses-

immovable, so that as the years went on,
