still remains very deplorable, and the
visitor must not only be prepared, but
visibly prepared, for trouble at any
hour of the day or night. The one
question on which the Seris' treat

he be Caucasian or 4 mixed blood, Q
Yankee or a Mexican, or even mem

SOLOMON'S
&c TEMPLE

A noted statistician and investiga-
tor who has lots of time for such work,
has been doing some figuring on the
cost of the Temple of Solomon, and
says few people, even in these days of
palmy extravaganza and millionaire
display, have an adequate impression
of the enormous cost of the great tenn
pie. According to Villalpandus, the
talents" of gold, silver and brass
equaled the enormous sum of 96,S79,-
$4,000. The worth Of the jewels is
placed at figure equally as high. The
vessels of gold, according to Josephus,
were valued at 100000 talents, which,
reduced to English money, would equal
G575 ,296,203. The vessels of silver, ac-
cording to the same authority, were
still more valuable, being set down as
worth s646,344,0OO. Priests vestments

Bismarck, who thought to do some-
thing in the name of humanity before
he died, declared in the preamble Of
his scheme for old age insurance in
Germany that every man who had
served the state faithfully throughout
his life and fallen victim to honest
poverty in old age might claim sup
port from the state, not as a charity,
but as a right This idea has stamped
itself upon the law of the land in Ger
many already. Ambassador White has
recently published the most important
provisions of the German law for the
use of American students of sociology,
as 1t relates to what Is known as the
disability and old age insurance law
which has been passed by the German
parliament. In the German scheme,
which has been organized with the
greatest care and carefully fortified by
statute law. every wage Garner who has
completed his sixteenth year Is enroll
ed under n compulsory pension law,
which insures against disability in old
age and relieves every wage Garner Of
the dread of being "pauper," while
sparing him the exhibition of foolish
pride which is so often seen in the
United States. Under this law the la
borer has earned the right to support
in old age, no matter how mercllessly
the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune may assail him. The details Of
the organization of German laborers
under the disability and old-age PEN
sion law will be found chiefly interest
ing to students of sociology. 1t in

Last spring I suffered from la

down completely.
"One of my college friends who was
visiting me, asked me to try Peruna,
and did SO and found it all and more

me of the catarrh, but restored me to

washington Correspondence Bes-
ton Transcript): 1.-The Seri Indians"
said Professor w. j. Magee, who has
recently returned from an chronological
expedition into Mexico, ARE in the
scale of civilization a few degrees
above the Cocopah Indians, who we
set out to visit; they do make their
own bows and arrows and boats, and
show some cleverness in primitive
navigating, but they still lack the
knife instinct" This commentary
called forth question as to the mean
Ing of the knife instinct" The ordi-
nary man in a civilized community,
the professor explained, is so familiar
with the knife and it's purposes that
its use has become practically auto
matte. AT the table he cuts his food
with his knife without going through
any conscious mental process. 1t is
as natural for him to do this as it is
to take his drink from a cup or other
vessel for holding liquor. If he wishes
to open a package tied with twine in
a hard knot, or to whittle a bit of
stick, or to split an apple into two
parts, down goes his hand instinctively
into his pocket for his knife, and he
can be talking or thinking about other
things while he uses the knife for
cutting. Not so the Seri Indian, If
he obtains knife in barter he thrusts
it into his belt as he has seen the Mex
lean frontiersman do, but in a mean
ingless way. 1t is a matter of imi-
tation and not reasoning with him, for
he has no idea of the common uses to
which the Mexican puts the knife. If
a deer crossed his path while his knife
was in his girdle, and with the aid of
his dogs he was able to capture and
kill it, it never would occur to him to
use his knife for cutting up the carcass.
He would tear it like a wild beast. If
he kills pony for food, and hangs
quarter near his door to be eaten as
needed, he will bite into the meat and
pull it apart with his teeth and nails,
stripping the sinews and tendons grad
ually till nothing but the bones are
left. To cut the flesh away would be
the last thing to occur to his mind,

DECAY OF MANNERS.
The Common People Alone Are Truly
Polite

The Common People Alone Arc Truly
Polite.
"I believe the manners of men In
the West and in the SoNth are very
much better. But the East sets the
fashion and makes the pace. What
is the vogue in New York reaches
San Francisco and New Orleans in
time, and the nearer place sooner. So,
If it be the thing to be rude in the
East, we may expect that it will be
the fashion also on the Pacific and
gulf before very long. But there is one
class of people in America which, 1
fancy, is not likely ever to become
infected with the bacilli of rudeness.
1 allude to the plain people, the COM
mon people. They are too good and
too substantial at bottom ever to be-
come very vulgar. They have never
been adopts in the graceful social arts.
On the contrary, they have never
been acquainted with them, and care
nothing about them. But they are hon
est and kind, and they hate meanness
and nastiness for the deadly sins that
they are. And they know them, too,
at sight. They are simple and unaf
fected, but they are as far as possible
from being foolish.
"A lady of experience told me the
other day that she believed the plain,
everyday, common American man was
the most dependable creature alive.
They never fail you. There is no
kindness they will not undertake, no
service they will not render. And I
recently learned of young girl who
knew this fact by instinct. She had to
journey to Chicago alone. From the
start she was moleSted by the atten-
ton of this man and that. She be-
came almost frantic in her nervous
ness. In desperation she gave up her
seat, and to quote her own words: I
went over to where there was plain,
common, kind-looking, middle-aged
man sitting and asked If might sit
with him. He said, certainly and
made room for me. That was the end
of it. He seemed to understand, and
the other men also.' John Gilmer
