Some stations are assigned more num-

or cipher and manifest number in the
spaces provided for that purpose This
way bill is made out in two forms. one

bring the fact of my knowledge home

With hers. Her manner was undemon-

SlGNlF! CANT NUMBER SEVEN
Woven Into the Histary of the World in Many
Peculiar Ways.


Peculiar Ways.
The number seven is not only con.
sidered lucky number by the super
stitious. but it was symbOlical num-
ber in the Bible, as well as among ma
tions of antiquity, In the Old Testa-
ment We note that the Creator took
seven days, and on the seventh was a
sacred day of rest. Every seventh
year was sacred, and the seven times
seventh year ushered in year of jubi-
lee. There are seven principal virtues
faith, hope, charity, prudence, tenn
perance, chastity and fortitude and
there are also seven deadly sins-pride,
covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony,
envy and sloth. There were seven
champions of Christendom-St. George,
England; st. Andrew, Scotland; St.
Patrick, Ireland; st. David, Wales
st. Denis, France; st. James, Spain,
and st. Anthony, Italy. There were
seven ages OF man, also seven wise
men of Greece. Christ spoke seven
times on the cross. Rome was built
on seven hills, and there are innumer-
able other traditions which go to prove
that seven was number to cling TO.
In these modern times it is wonderful
how often the number prevails. For
instance, vaccination must take place
every seven years, in order to escape
small pox: fashions change every seven
years, and seven years is always a mile
stone in PERSONS age.

Characteristics oil Gold.

Many people suppose that all gold is
alike when refined, but this is not so.
An experienced man can tell at gIan,e g
from what part of the world gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what
particular gold district the metal has
been obtained. Australian gold, for
instance, is distinctly redder than that
from California. The Ural gold is the
reddest found anywhere.
