Work Il Means, Not an End.

The primary function of education is
the presentation Of our individual life,
and suffice it to say that this conception
greatly increases the real value of labor.
Man does not labor solely to earn his
bread, but principally in order that the
divine, the spiritual, within him may find
expression, so that he may become con-
scious of the nature of God and of his
own Godlike identity. Bread. dwelling
house and clothes, though acquired in the
course of labor, are yet unimportant &C.

A Unique Piece of Engineering.

An extension of the Mexican National
railway fifty miles, from Patzcuaro to
Uruapan, was completed a year or two
ago, and is unique piece of engineering.
Probably a more crooked railroad is not
to be found anywhere in the world. After
winding along the shore of Lake
Patzcuaro, then past beautiful Lake
Zirahuen, it crosses mountain range bv
the devious course of four long, adjacent
loops. In an air line covering the four
adjacent loops the distance is 2672 feet
just about half mile-and the fall
426 feet. but the train travels two and
a half miles in the descent.-Los Angeles

celestial kingdom, it is easily first in

It began as a monthly, became weekly
in 1861, and since the beginning of the
century has been daily. 1t is now
quite up--to-date, publishing three edi-

A Business Woman.

A clever Arizona woman who cleared
over $500 the past season on the olives
which she herself prepared for market
has invented a special treatment which
bids fair to open new industry. Be-
sides the, olives prepared in the usual
manner she put up large number, using
the same formula as for mustard pickles.
These found a ready market, the demand
being far ahead of the supply. With tn
gathering of the crop of October she is
planning to make speciality of this new
departure in olives.

white Feathers horse had been shot
under him, and. at the risk of his life,
into the shelter of the boulders. He was
unhurt, but trembed in every limb from
fear and great eXertion.
From between two boulders he peeped
out and saw, amid the bodies of men
and horses that Uttered the plain, a
wounded man crawling on his hands

white Feather watched him for n
moment; then he saw him stop and lie
down on his side despairingly. He could
crawl no more.
Il will, for her sake!' he murmured
between his clenched teeth, and rising
from the shelter of the rock he faced the
hail of death that battered to the earth
around him.
AS he walked into the open fart
cheer reached his ears from the British
| troops half mile behind him. The
Royal artillery backed him with Shrek
ing flight Of shrapnel, which whisticd for
moment overhead, then burst over the
Bocr lines a quarter of a mile away in

Quclled the storm around him.
He reached the wounded man. lifted
him on his back. and returned step by
step to where Trumpeter Pipes lay hid

The trumpeter gave him faint
"Bravo." as he staggered and fell with
his burden into the kindly shelter of the
rock.
That was "White Feathers" reward.
