Track Notes.

Mounce was the only rider to pilot two
winners.
Sunello got mixed up IN humping
match soon after the start.
Midnight Chimes. which has always
been knocking at the gate, made poor
showing IN the fourth event.
Mike Rice ran q vastly improved race
with Ruiz IN the saddle. Vittatoe rode
the old gelding the previous time out.
Nothing but bad racing luck beat Tor
Eina. Mounce was pocketed while trying
70 get through at the head Of the stretch
and again below the eighth pole Parsifal
gave the mare bump that proved fatal
10 her chances.
Lcuwelsea must have been run short.
There was no apparent reason for the
mare stopping as she did.

FOLLOWERS OF JAINISM.

They Believe in the Eternal Persis- tency and Progressive Evolution of
 Each Ego.
 San Francisco, having already be- come familiar with Theosophy, the mystic religions of Brahma and Bud aha, and with the lofty philosophy of the Vedantan Swamis, it only remained to learn of Jainism, perhaps the sanest and most ideal of all the East Indian religions. Yesterday, before large au- dience in the rooms of the Laurel Hall club. 1920 California street, Jainism made it's first bow to the people of Cali fornia, the lecturer being Professor Emlyn Lewys, until recently a resident of London. Professor Lewys is a schol- ar of striking personality and the only English speaking authority on this most ancient of religions.
 Jainism, as explained by the speaker, is the Professionalism of India, as op- posed to the Vedas, Brahmanism and the -paralyzing caste system, It aims at the perfection of character, not through faith. but through correct con- duct and systematic intellectual activ- ity or concentration as opposed to the Yogi system of intellectual vacuity. The speaker said:
 If a religion may be known by it's fruits what shall we say of this one, which though now numbering two mill lion votaries and dating it's origin long prior to the entrance of the Aryans into India in prehistoric times, has never yet produced a murderer? Though regard ing klngship as the greatest injustice still the Jains do two-thirds of all the financal business of India. They never eat meat, and the monks often carry brooms and sweep the paths to avoid crushing the insects. They believe in the advancement of women, in reincar- nation and the eternal persistency and progressive evolution of each ego and hold that the atrocities of the soul and intellect, such as sense knowledge, clairvoyance, telepathy the emotions, the physical constitution and the power to achieve are all under the obscuration of Karma, which to the Jain is a sub- stance. The object of their study and effort is to shake this Karmic clog out and to liberate the soul by vibrating in a certain way. This may be done by UT SutII btItN- olence, charity or wisdom, by tnalyzing the teachings found in their enormous and as yet untranslated libraries, and then by syntheizing and immediately acting on these truths, Jainism then is the religion of intelligence, utility and of action. The Jans marry at the age of nine or ten and live ideal married lives, all unions being regulated through as- trological affinity. San Francisco Chronicle

on an even keel, and drifted under the stern just in time to catch the leap- ing sailor. The boat was on fire, but not badly, for she had just been paint ed, and the flames were soon eXtin- guished.
 In this boat the captain and his son. the cook, six seamen and two boys were saved The second mate and five others were lost For the saved, relief was near at hand. In the far distance. Q sailor-in the forcetop of the New Bedford whaling bark Charles w. Nor gan, Capt. Atherton-on keen lookout for whales saw a vast mass of smoke and flame on the horizon, and in a few hours Capt. Chadwick and his men were on board the Morgan. few days later they were landed In Talcahuano, Chlli. .....
 When we consider the swiftness of the destruction and the marvellous in cidents on which the rescue turned, we must consider this one of the most re- markable instances of fire at sea. The lodging of the studding-sail yard in the rigging just at the moment of extremity was so plainly providential, it is not surprising that Capt. Chad wick, having saved the little spar which saved him and three othcrs. should mount it on his home flagstaff, as a memento of Gods mercy.
 And then, the quarter boat! It would defy human skill to build fires and burn the falls and gripes, the four distinct fastenings of the boat, so sim ultaneously that the boat should strike the water on an even keel. And then to time the fall of the boat and sweep her into position under the ships stern precisely as needed by the man leaping from the flames, who alone of the ships crew was in d position to secure the boat!
 We can faintly imagine the thrill in the heart of the sailor boy, who as he stepped into a dry suit on board the Morgan, drew from the pocket of his wet trousers coin bearing the inscrip- ton, In God we trust.-From the Sea Breeze.

At first the members of the commun1- ty did all the work on the farm and in the shops and household under the di- rection of a business board, which an nualy assigned the members to differ ent departments of industry. A farmer one year might work in one of the shops the next or be chosen to assist the women in the kitchen work. The familiarity with household work which many of the men acquired led to the invention of many labor-saving devices, such as dish washers, vegetable wash CTS and revolving tables, which in mod flied form are found in every we'll appointed kitchen ay-monuments to the ingenuity of Oneida Community workers.
 The second great industry of the Oneida Community originated in the brain of Henry Thacker. Perceiving that the superb fruits and vegetables raised by the community could not be marketed in the natural form with profit, he conceived the idea of pre- serving them in bottles and cans. The idea was not at first received with favor by other members of the community,
  put up 1000 bottles of preserved fruits as an experiment. The success of the undertaking was instantaneous, one dealer taking the whole lot and ask ing for more. From this small begin- ming has grown the great canning in- dustry which is doing it's share to make the Oneida. Community industrially fa- nous.
 In 1866 the manufacture of sewing and embroidery silk was undertaken, three of the members of the community hay ing previously been sent to New Eng land to learn the sill-spinnins business in one of the large factories there. plant was erected at Sherrill, several miles from the community grounds, on account of the water supply there, which furnished power, and for thirty five years thriving business has been done. Within the last year large new silk mill has been erected on the com munity grounds and the machinery in the Sherrill factory removed to it. With its increased facilities and enlarged plant the community expects to be able to keep up with it's silk orders-a thing it has been unable to do for some time past.
 The buildings vacated at Sherrill are now used for the manufacture of steel chains, which is another lucrative in dustry in which the community is en- gagged. Until recently these chains were manufac ctured at Niagara Falls.

FEMININE SPHERE IN A SCOTCH
VILLAGE.

VILLAGE.
 For half a recent summer I boarded at the shoemaker's cottage in Drum tochty, and had an excellent opportun- ity to get acquainted with the ways of the rural Scotch in a typical village: but I only attempt to chronicle here some of the more picturesque features. l think I never saw a man drawing, or carrying water, except "Auld Robbie Robi' son. who lived alone. It was wo- mans work. Every day I noticed sev- eral of the women burdened with their pails pass my lodgings on their way home from well next door, Their hus- bands never thought of relieving their wives, even when their own days la Dor was over, and they were sitting, smoking their pipes and lazily visiting on the street walls. Nor did it appar- ently occur to the women that the task was otherwise than distinctly theirs. It's preordained character was not. how ever, so clear to me, and one day I started to draw a pailful at the next door well. Granny" the shoemaker's mother, whose years were more than four score, caught me in the act and came hurrying out from the house, much shocked that I, man. and a. lodger at that, should attempt such a thing. She took the rope from me and insisted on doing the work herself.
 Drawing water was not the only out door task which fell to the lot of the women. In several instances village family owned a COW, and the housewife fed and mixed it in the byre. and led it to and from pasture. The pig-pen, too, was included in the feminine sphere, and when it needed replenishing the woman thought nothing of walk a small porker in a bag slung over her shoulder.-Good Housekeeping.
