Many profane expressions are the fos-

latory prayer, and the history of pro-
ianity is intimately bound up with the
history ,of religion. II is held by some
that protane objuTgations are instinc-
tive or Initiative relics OF the habit OF
our Wild ancestors OF Stimulating the
cries OF ferocious animals and of utter
ing sounds calculated by their harsh
ness or their volume, to inspire terror.
by and by came the time when GER
tain words became sacred by reason
OF their religious associations. and
their employment in verbal warfare
would. it was hoped cause fear by
reason OF their awful association, or,
later STILL because their unconyen-

deed savored Of reckless violence. A
few centuries later men took to utiliz-
Ing the anathemas OF the church for
their private purposes, and sought to
inspire fear by evoking images OF tor
ture and endless suffering. The angry
primitive man tried 10 shock his
enemy by calling on thunder and gods
and the angry modern man consigns
him, in tones OF awful wrath, to eter.
nal punishment. From the shock OF
terror there came the shock of temer.
ity In taking holy names in vain, Sc
that the greater the reverence Of
names OF saints or places or deity, the
greater is the shock to the man sworn

relief to the man swearing.-Medica

The financial capital is no longer In
Londnn-it Is in New York. No nation
ever had in its treasury so much gold
as the United States has now in It's
vaults. Our exports have recently
broken all records and they are mar
vicious in their totals and variety. For
a time it was only food that We sent

There is something more. 1t is not

tration. Germany pays about $3.50 a
year for each of her soldiers. Great
Britain pays about twice as much No
other nation approaches those figures
except one. The United States pays
an average of $1,000 a year This
means that the man is better paid, bet

A Queer Wa. Crop.

The white wax crop exported from
China is made by the curious method
Of using minute insects in it's produc-
ton. These insects are found in
brown, pea-shaped excresences or gals
attached 10 an evergreen tree called
the insect tree. The gals are gath
cred in May and carried in headlong
flight 10 the market towns by bearers,
who travel at night. so that the at
may not force the insects TO emerge
during the Journey. They are then
placed in a wax tree, which is a
stump varying from three to twelve
feet in height, with numerous branch
es rising from the top. similar to the
pollard willow The wax insects are
made into small packets of twenty or
thirty gals which are inclosed in
leaf Of the wood oil tree. fastened to-
gether with rice straw. These packets
are suspended close to the branches,
under which they hang. On emerging
from the gals the insects creep rap
idly up the branches. to which they
attach themselves. and begin forming
a coating Of wax that in about three
months attains thickness OF almost
a quarter OF an inch. The branches
are then cut off, and after removing
as much of the wax as possible by
hand they are put in kettle of hot
water. when the remaining wax floats
on the surface, and the insects finish
their term OF usefulness by going to
the bottom.

Toledo, O, Oct 17.-At the Polish National alliance the matter of the al- legged defa1cation of $12,000 by W. Wieklinski, former grand treasurer of the organization, came up yesterday and was the cause of a heated discus sion in which the attorney for the ex- treasurer, K. Czanscki, made the statement that his client was not ac- countable to the organization for tic alleged dedication. because the alli- ance had been reorganized since that time, and is now operating under a new charter. It developed in the gen. era1 debate to-day that the educational committee will make a report advo- eating an aggressive policy in the matter of education for the Polish people of the country.
