SWEATING GOLD COIN
The Process of Stealing the Yellow
Metal with Acid.
ono Way of Accommodating Wealth
Illegally That Ii Extensfveiy
Pracuced by California
Chinamen.

Sweating coin is merely robbing it
,f a portion OF its legal weight without
In any manner altering its appearance.
Manifestly gold coins alone would ap-
peal to the sweater, for silver would
hardly pay for the trouble. In coun-
tries where paper money is employed
sweating has taken no root. Also in
countries like England, where the larg-
est gold coin is sovereign, the prac-
tice would hardly become epidemic.
1t is in the western portion of America
that coin sweating has assumed the,
largest proportions. In the eastern,
states paper currency is universally cir
culated, but west of the great Rocky,
mountains the gold SEQ piece, the $40
and the fiye-dollar coin are used almost,
exclusively.
Ten or is years ago the government
found IT necessary to pass measures
against coin sweating, but even then,
the manifest injustice OF arresting a!
person for merely "passipg" such a,
coin--such person being almost certain;
ly quite nnocent-appealed to legis-;
lators to such an extent that the law
was made only to affect the actual man

consequences of this has been that the.

We must all go there sometimes. The
glare of the daylight is too brilliant.
Our eyes become injured and unable to
discern the delicate shades of color or
appreciate neutral tints-the shadowed
chamber of sickness, the shadowed
house of mourning, the shadowed life
from which the sunlight has gone. But
fear not. 1t is the shadow of Gods
hand. He is leading thee. There are
lessons which can be learned only there.
The photograph of His face can be only
fixed in the dark chamber. But do not
suppose that He has cast thee aside.
Thou art ftill in His quiver. He has
not flung thee away as worthless
thing. He is only keeping thee close till
the moment comes when He can send
thee most swiftly and surely ON some

said, Notwithstanding, In this rejoice
not that the spirits are subject unto
you, but rejoice rather because Your
names are written in heaven" To
have power over evil spirits for the
good Of mankind would certainly be
cause for rejoicing, but how much
greater cause for rejoicing is the fact
that our names are written In this
Lambs book Of life. That record tells
us that we are saved--saved for time
and eternity. 1t tells us that we are the
children Of God and that God is special

self in gratitude to God and consecra-
tion to His service.
Q. If our names are written in the
book of life. our one aim in life should
be to see that they are not blotted out.
They may be blotted out. Moses prayed
that his name be blotted out for the
good of Israel, which of course could
not be done. In Rev. Iii, o. Jesus says,
He that overcometh, the same shall
be clothed in white raiment, and ! will
not blot out his name out of the book
Of life" This statement shows that it
is possible for our names to be blotted
out of Gods book of life. What sad
catastrophe such fate would be! II
the chief joy of earth is in having our
names written in heaven, who can de-
scribe the sorrow Of having them blot
ted outP But, though they may, yet
they need not be blotted out. IL we
vercome-overcome sin, overcome
trial, overcome unbelief-they shall not
be. And Jesus will help us so that we
can overcome. He has overcome the
world, and through Him we may over
come it.
Let as be faithful to God in Christ
and keep our names in the book of life,
for thus only can we enter heaven.
"Then shall in nowise enter into it any
thing that defileth, = y = but they which
are written in the Lamb book of life. "

Petroleum Field Operations.

The situation in the various petro-
leum-producing fields in the States
of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New
York, Ohio and Indiana has been
growing more unsatisfactory from
month to month, from whatever
standpoint or point of interest 1t is
regarded. 1t has become more and
more unsatisfactory to the producers
by reason Of. the smaller average
production of"the wells, the larger
percentage Of dry holes and the de-
creasing frequency of the appearance
of wells showing large production;
to the reflners and dealers by reason
of the smaller supply and enhanced
cost, and to the consumer, who is
compelled to pay higher prices for a
product which he had been taught
to regard as the "poor mans light"
The refiner and dealer, although ap-
parently the least affected by rea son
of corresponding advance in the
price of his products, nevertheless
feels the change in conditions in
various ways. The conditions are
not SO serious as to warrant a feeling
of apprehension as to the adequacy
of the supply of current require
ments, and there is still hope that
the production may be increased
by the discovery of new pools, or
possibly a new field; but, ON the
other hand, there is reason to fear
that production may continue to
decrease and the present unsatisfac-
tory condition become aggravated,
In which event recourse must he had
to other sources of supply more
remote from the coast, and even
with an abundant production this
would not insure lower prices.
The number of new wells complet-
ed during the past month shows a
decrease Of over seven per cent from
the number completed during Octo-
ber, which is accounted for by the
low average production, the large
percentage Of dry holes, and more
particularly to the comparatively
limited territory available. The
production of the November wells
showed a decrease of about thous-
and barrels and the average produc-
tion per well decrease of over
three-quarters of one barrel, the av-
erage of the November wells being
rather less than 1874 barrels. 1t will
readily be seen that any decrease
from this low average is a very dis
couraging feature to the producer.
The amount of new work under way,
however, shows little change, the
producers being encouraged to ex-
tend operations by the high prices
paid for the product and they con-
tinue to be buoyed up by the hope of
striking a well of large productive
capacity or discovering new pool,
although the prospects are becoming
more and more remote. The field
situation presents no feature to en-
courage the hope of lower prices and
fully warrants the advances that
that have recently taken place.-Oil,

There should be present to us the
thought that there is possibility of
our being hardened in sin, A sin re-

of sinful habit. A duty neglected has
the same effect, working directly to in

deadened spiritual sensibility. United

sernshne.s and Self Love.

Selfishness is vice; self love is
sirtue. Solfishness is the root of all
vice; then vice increases selfshness,
and selfishness, in turn, leads on to
more and greater vice. Selfshness and
sin act and react one upon the other.
Self love, on the contrary, is virtue
and the foundation of all virtue, of all
religion, of all spirituality. Christian
