The announcement that the Mer-

company with $100, 900 capital to loan
money in small sums on collateral Sc

SO far as this country is concerned, in
Boston in 1909. The original associa-

cents. The rate of interest charged is
112 per cent a month. At ! Beacon
street, Boston, is the Workingman's
Loan Association. This association
charges interest on it's loans at the rate
of 1 per cent a month. 1t reports that
over four-fifths of all loans made by it

though originally started as charities,
pay an annual dividend of 6 per cent

start in this direction was made by the
st. Bartholomew Mission and the
various church settlements. With the

SWALLOWED KNIVES.

John Collins, who has lately distin'
guished himself by swallowing 81 peb.
bles, and has just come out of the Pc
terborough, England, inirmary, where
he has been in retirement as the con-
sequence of his feat, no doubt thinks
he has beaten the record. He Is mis-
taken, however. A much more re-
markable feat is that recorded in the
Museum of Guys hospital, where they
have some scraps of pocket knives that
had been swallowed by one John
Cummings, an American sailor. He
and his mates went to a fair, and saw
a mountebank doing some wonderful
things in the way of swallowing
knives. Most of them were greatly
impressed by the performance, but
Cummings made light of it, and de-
clared he could do the same if he liked.
On being dared to do it, he took out
his W pocket knife and bolted it.

New ALLOW for Gold,

A new alloy has been discovered
which is said to be a wonderful sub
stitute for gold. 1t consists Of ninety
four parts Of copper to six parts of
anthony. The copper is melted and
the anthony added, together with a
little magnesium and carbonate of lime
to increase the density. The product
can be drawn, wrought and soldered
like the precious metal, to which it
bears a striking resemblance when pol
ished. The cost of manufacture is
about "a cents a pound.

Said General Gordon: II venture to

started and all went well for several
miles, until the driver struck some
thing, and out / went with the sleigh

to rise I found that my left arm had
been wrenched clear out of the SOCK

my fall and injuries had preceded me

Though no "rich American gentleman"
was found to furnish funds for Lady
Scott, she got enough English money
against her s~on-in-laW and to send her
scandal broadcast. Lady Scott and
those arrested with her for the libel
utterly failed to prove the charges
which they had made against the earl.
Lady Russell was always fond of
dancing, and some years ago appeared
at the Royal theater, London.

said In public speech from the steps
of the State Capitol that. THAT which
Is morally wrong can never be politI
cally right" That Is n great truth,
though 1t may be mistakenly applied;
and they who ponder 1t will surely
grow in wisdom and virtue. But what
has morality to do with politics? will
be asked. Politics, perhaps, may have
nothing to do with morality, yet moral
ity has deal 10 do with politics: in
condemnation and punishment, if moth
ing else; and the terrible French Rev
olution of 1889 and 1893, with its Reign
Of Terror and Blood, was the moral
penalty. MS it was the logical conse-
auence, of the political regime that pre-
ceded 1t.
The vengeance of men and the wrath
of God may be delayed. or postponed;
but they who go on violating the eter-
nal laws of truth and right are only
laying up wrath against the day of
wrath. 1t must be so; for, consider,
all the laws of nature are In accord and
absolute unison, and. as any diver
gence from right or straight line, will
grow In divergence the longer and fur
Their continued, so any departure from
truth and justice grows worse and
worse the longer persisted in and the
further carried: and as consequences
are determined by their anteccdents or
causes, so are wrong and evil sure, not
only morally, but naturally and logi-
cally. as OF absolute necessity, even
though we Ignore The overruling prov
idence of O just God,
"Woe unto the world because OF Of
fences! for II must needs be that Of
fences come; but woe to that man by
whom the offence cometh!"
Temptations come to oil. but all are
not always seduced; yet precisely those
sins which injure others. the public.
and seem not to hurt us nor our private
affairs. are the more tempting to our
selfish and coyetous nature, and all the
more SO because we make Il temporary
gain and because we sin In crowd, and
often in what we esteem to be good
company" But. alas. every sin n man
commits Is his loss by every law OF
nature, and his sin is none the less be-
cause he has associates in 1t, or because

has to answer for himself and bear the
consequences.
How can a self-respecting man do
wrong to others, or do anything that he
is conscious is q public wrong to all
his confiding fellow-citizens. or that will
in any way work injury to the people?
If no one else, he knows the wrong
done, and must despise himself.
