INTRODUCTION.

CONTENT. Shortly after delivering
the Parable of the Good Shepherd, our
lesson for March 10, Jesus departed
from Jerusalem. Proceeding in a north
easterly direction, He crossed the Jor-
dan, entered Berea and came at length
into the region where John had bap-
tized (John x:40). This movement was
made doubtless to escape from the in
trigues of the priestly party there
being no safety for him in Judea (John,
Xi:S). 1t was evident that ultimately
He must die as He had predicted Matt,
xvi:2D. and He was willing thus to lay
down His life John xi:17-1S), but His
time had not yet come John viii:6).
He had not been long in that retreat
when a messenger from the sister John
Xi:0 brought word that His loved
friend, Lazarus of Bethany, was sick
After two days (verse 81 Jesus set out
with the apostles for Bethany. Mean
while Lazarus died, of which fact
Jesus became aware before beginning
the journey oversees 1l-1p. Pausing "A
little way outside of the village, per-
haps to avoid the crowd, possibly at
the entrance of the place of burial, He
had an interview with Martha oversees

Him. Her return and call for Mary
(verse 2S) introduces the present lesson.
ANALYSIS The persons mentioned
in this passage-Lazarus, his sisters,
their Jewish friends and Jesus-en-
ter into various relations in the course
of the narrative. AS the scenes change
the thoughts and feelings and peculiar
characteristics of each appear the
study of which will be both interest
ing and profitable. The first part
oversees 30-3D represents Mary and
friends" the second part Oversees 32-3O,
Mary and Jesus" the third part
Oversees 3S40), Martha and Jesus"
the fourth part oversees 41-44) Jesus
and Lazarus" the fifth part Oversees 45-
i6), the Jews and Jesus" The prin-
cipals actors in these sections are, in
the first and second, Mary; in the third,
Martha; in the fourth, Jesus; in the
last, the Jews. They are brought in
to these associations by the death Of
one whom all loved. Our part is to
learn what we may from each under
these trying circumstances. There is
no other event in human history that
puts equal test upon man and woman,
none more involving the character and
mission Of Christ

the Creator had made a grave mistake
in not making the human internal anat.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Alameda Argus: Governor Gage was
just about to appoint William H. Mills
as Commissioner to represent Cali
fornia at the Paris Exposition, when
that gentleman sent letter OF thanks
for whatever consideration had been
accorded him, and stated that 1t would
be impossible for him to accept such
Office and honor An important dis
closure in this letter was the fact that
California is not likely to have a dis
tinct exhibit at Paris. Floor space is
limited. The General Government IS
not going to have enough to properly
make its display. The chances are there
will be no single State exhibits. The
California exhibits will be distributed
about in the departments and have only
label to designate them. This was
considered by MIR. Mills as being so
greatly against the possibility of sat
isfactory showing for the State that he
did not feel like assuming the burden.
Then, also, he no doubt felt his ap-
pointment would be made the occasion
for violent attacks, both on the Gov
ernor- and the corporation of which he
is an officer, by the malignant press.
But all who know of Mr.. Mills thor
ough acquaintance with the States re-
sources and his splendid ability to set
forth it's advantages and attractions,
will regret that he did not accept the
office

AN EXPENSIVE COAL MINE.
A Sculptured Limb That Cost Over
Million.

The strangest exhibit in the British
Museum is the likeness of "a human leg
carved out of camel COAL says the New
York Journal" 1t came from Ameri-
ca and represents the folly of the Prince
of Wales. The English people don't
know this, however. That is why the
stolid directors of the museum accepted
as a geological specimen what is really
| a huge American joke on his Royal
| Highness
| This is the truth about it: Out in
Southwestern Kentucky, in Breckin-
ridge County, there is a geological freak.
1t is a. hill 100 feet high that was for
merly scanned with big veins of camel
| coal. Oddly enough the coal veins did
not extend downward into the surround
| ing ground. There is not another vein
Within 800 miles of it. Pennsylvania
coal miners would not touch it. They
said it wouldn't pay to put up the ma
chinery to mine so small a quantity of
coal and haul it to market But in 1884
a clever Cincinnati man, D. H. Yeo-
mans, saw an opportunity to profit by
this bit of natures fraud.
| He photogra phed the hill of coal and
| took specimens from it, He got a sworn
statement from the Recorder of Brock
| inridge County stating the specimens
We're from this hill and the area COW
cred by the coal outcroppings. Mr..
Yeomans went to London to organize
a coal sydicate. He cut a wide swath.
He was called the Coal King of Ameai-
ca. He hobnobbed with the Prince, of
Wales. In six months Mr.. Yeomans had
sold to the Prince of Wales 81, 500 COO
worth of stock in his coal mining COM
pany which he called the Breckenridge
Company, Limited. An English mana
ger was appointed and came over to
America with Mr.. Yeomans to manage
the mine. Mr.. Yeomans discreetly let
him manage It in his own English way.
1t cost him IS ton to mine coal that he
got 81 for.
| The enthusiastic Britisher didn't care
for that. He wrote home to his Eng
glish employers that it was the finest
camel coal on earth and there was no
end of it. He had female figure cary
ed out Of it and sent it to London as
fsouvenir = The thing got broken up in
the unloading. 1t all crumbled to
pieces except one leg. That is what the
! British Museum got.
Last January the Prince Of Wales and
that their coal mine was worked cut
and they had S150,C00 worth of law
suits on their hands for miners and
managers wages. Then the freak
mine was abandoned.
But the leg still remains in the Brit
ish Museum.

last conviction.
The tail of the beaver Is about one
foot long and is we'll adapted to its
use, as a rudder. The feet are well
worth notice, the front ones being
small and flexible and the hind ones
closely webbed.
The incisors are important to the
beaver, for it is with these that he

and the dam, if there be one.

Rosebery as the Dougal Cratur.

There is a story going the rounds
about.Lord Rosebery as an amateurI ac-
tor On one occasion, SO it is said, his

title figured as the Dougal Cratur in, an
amateur performance of Rob Roy" in

chieftain was unprecedented by Whyte-
Melville, the well-known author. In
order to carry out the idea of the red
heided Heilan' deevil" as Bailie Nicoll
Jarvie terms the Celtic waif, the Earl of
Rosebery wore a. wig of a very fiery
hue. In the course of the play this con-
spicuous adornment accidentally fell off

laughter among the audience The no.
BILE Dougal grinned too but when he
picked up the wig and stuck 1t on his
head the wrong way the hf1arity was
redoubled. Sitting near the chronicler
were grim old farmer and his wife.
The latter growled in reference to the
wig mishap; That Dougal is a gowk,
whaever he is! He's dune his best to
turn a gram play like Rob Roy Until a

The Lazy Beaver.

In reading a recent issue of Forest
and Stream l was surprised to learn
that beaver had recently been cap
tured in New York State. 1t then oc-
CURED to me that the description of a
trip to the present home of the beaver
might be of interest to your many
readers.
Norway House is one of the oldest
of the old Hudson Bay Company's
posts, and was for many years the
great distributing point for the whole
Northwest. 1t has lost much of its
ancient glory, but is still an important
trading post.
We were most kindly received by the
chief factor, who offered to give us
any assistance in his power, and soon
provided us with a reliable Indian
guide. During the day We wandered
about, and were much interested by
the shrewd observations of an old
. trapper who was engaged in making
caviar. This delicious article is made
from the spawn of the sturgeon that
are caught about this time. There are
two varieties, but the black spawn is
much the more valuable of the two

with German salt and packed in bar
rels. 1t is finally packed in small
boxes and sold on the market at enor-
nous prices.
Next day we were up with the sum-
and after a hasty meal set out for a
beaver colony, which the guide said
was not far from here. We went back
some distance from the usual course of
travel. This northern country is COM
pletely covered with network of lakes
and rivers, and with a canoe it is
possible to travel anywhere
At length we reached a little lake, on
whose shores we landed Quite near
us was a small clearing, and toward
this we now quietly advanced. The ap-
pearance of this open space would lead
one to suppose that gang of wood
choppers had recently been engaged
here. Creeping quietly forward, we
caught sight of the rising village. Some
Of the houses were finished, While 9TH
ers We're nearly so. AS no dam was
required, this colony apparently took
life easy. A few were leisurely building
with poplar sticks and mud, but the
majority appeared to be taking a holt

The houses are dome-shaped in
structure, and must have served as
models for the huts of the Esquimau
further north.

1t is now definitely settled that the
California Volunteers, having been the
first to go out to Manila, are to be the
first to be sent home. The orders are
out already for the departure of the
First California Regiment late this
month or early in June, so that by the
middle, or surely the third week in the
latter month we shall have a home
coming of one Of the most gallant regi-
ments that ever fought for the flag in
all American history. While flowers,
and bands, and professions, and lines
of handsome women, and all sorts Of
demonstration of public joy will be very
appropriate in the ceremonial Of well
come, we take it that the most substan-
tial and fitting thing to do will be to
provide beyond any question of possible
failure that every man Of the regiment,
from the head of the command to the
drunmers, is returned to his old or bet
Llace, inc ONE and family for love Of tie
flag, and responded instantly to the call
for troops. To have them come home
and find themselves without employ
ment good, safe and pleasant, will be a
reproach that California cannot and
must not bear. Let steps be taken at
once to make the return Of these gal
liant men to profitable industry certain.
In so doing California will honor the
men, but will honor herself most. AS
the majority of the volunteers were res
idents Of San Francisco, the task and
the pleasure should be hers first to
move in this matter.

The Stockton Independent" puts the
matter logically. It's statement is a
perfect syllogism. War was declared
against Spain in due order, constitu-
tionally and by the proper authority. 1t
was conducted under the methods of
civilized nations, by us and according
to the laws and the constitutional au-
thority provided. Peace was conclud-
ed regularly and by duly constituted au-
thority The terms were such as were
agreed to by both sides under recog-
nized international laws. Therefore, no
Senator, no citizen, no matter what his

Down in Pasadena a suit was on
hearing before certain Justice of the
Peace involving. the Pastime Club. The
club, it is claimed, is organized as con-
vivial one to evade local liquor regula-
lions. While the case was on trial
book was introduced and admitted in
evidence containing the names of the
members of the club. W. S. Melick of
the Pasadena News took up the book
on adjournment of the Court and began
to copy the roll Of membership, which
would prove interesting to the public,
since it was desirable to know who
composed the organization charged
with attempting to evade the law.
the roll When five of these had been
copied the Justice, with anger in his
tones, ordered the editor to cease copy
ing and rescued the book from him,
shouting:
Give me that book! You have no
business with it! I didn't intend any
newspaper should get those names! You
shall not publish them! Do you under
stand? If you publish any of those
names will have you brought UP for
contempt! I will!
But the News" man, unembarrassed
by the threat Of the Justice, publishes
the five names secured and then pro-
ceeds to challenge the Judge and dare
him to proceed against the editor. 1t
calls upon the irate Justice to send on
his police or constables and make the
arrest. Mr.. Melick will have no worry
on that score. The loud sounding mag
istrate Will do nothing of the kind. The
book was in evidence. Its contents had
been opened out in court and testified
about The book and the list of names
became public matters and the editor
had the right to use them as such. The
magistrate had no right to forbid their
examination or to close their contents
against publicity. Censorship in this
country has not run as yet to the Jus
tees of the Peace. They may look wise
and threaten loudly. but they have no
power to punish for doing that which is
lawful and privileged. We hope that
the News" will continue to prod the
Justice, get its editor cited for con-
tempt, get him jagged between four
prison walls, take him out on a proper
writ, and thus have the matter tested.

a fourishing condition, numerically and
financially.
Among the most important questions to be
brought up for consideration OF the con-

Canada. The two lumber associations, in
the north and south, have always had rep
