A very curious old mine with many
romantic associations is that at Quin-
dio, in the United States of Colombia,
where cinnabar, the ore of mercury,
has been wrought from the time Of
the earliest Spanish explorers, almost
200 years ago. at a spot 10000 feet
above the sea. Its locality is further
remarkable as being one OF the wet
test places on the globe. II is excep-
tonal for the rain to cease throughout

Not the Example He Expected.

The master of a Glasgow school was
presiding over the reading lesson when
the child, whose turn 1t was to read.
came across the word "hlreling."
"What Is 'hirelingP" asked the
teacher.
The boy thought for a moment or
two and then replied, II don't know"
The question was next propounded TO
the entire class, with a like result.
The master then explained the mean
ing of the word as lucidly as he could
and at the conclusion of his explana-
tion repeated the question.
'Please, sir" replied the boy ad-
dressed, you're a hireling; you're paid
TO teach Scottish American.

TO THE RIGHT

Detroit News-Tribune.
In the old days Of sword and dagger, the
former was properly considered the more
chivalrous and gentemanly weapon; espe-
cially so after masters of fence had learnt
to discard the dagger as a guarding weapon
held in the left hand The long rapier was
worn on the left side, the dagger on the
right, where it could be quickly and furtively
unsheathed The latter then became the
fayorite weapon of the treacherous assassin.
One man passing another to the left, in meet
ing exposed both to the chance OF sud-
den dagger stab, delivered with the right
hand Passing to the right in meeting, put
the cowardly dagger out of action and each
man had ample time to see if the other in
tended to draw his sword in fair and open
hostility.
In all the Italian cities Of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries to keep to the right be-
came matter of common prudence, as we'll
as sign to others that you did not intend
to stab in the back in passing. To pass to
the left then was suspicious, and no gentle
man who valued his character would have
been guilty of such bad form, to either friend,
stranger or open enemy. The custom of keep
ing to the right has long survived the rea-
sons in which it originated.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-01-06
GENEROUS GIVING .

The American people are giving as they
are prospered. During 1901 the donations
to American colleges reached almost $780,
100000. This sum includes the $14,500,000
given by Andrew Carnegie to various in
situations, Mrs. Stanford's 100000 900 to
Stanford university, Rockefeller's $2,775,-
900 and Pierpont Morgan's 81, $50, 900.
Other benevolences of the year would, it
is estimated, raise the total to $500, O00,-
900. The Methodist church raised special
sum of $15,000,O00, which,. the Boston
Transcript says, is the most gigantic thing
of the kind any religious body ever
achieved. The same paper estimates the
total church benevolences at $74,750,000.
While Dun's index shows that the cost
of living is now 40 per cent higher than
it was five years ago and higher, even,
than in the fat times of fifteen years ago,
the enormous benevolences of the nation
prove that the people are better. off now
than ever before. 1t costs more to live
than it did, but most of the people have
more money; more, in proportion, than
the increase in their necessary expenses.
Benevolences are not the only proof OF
this fact. There is no doubt that the
standard of living has been raised Peo-
pie spend more freely, buy better qualities
and consume larger quantities. They are
looking out for themselves and they are
also looking out for Others. They are
making themselves comfortable and they
are assisting all kinds Of educational anc
| benevolent institutions.

member of the Georgia legislature who
has INTRODUCED bill Int o the legislature OF
that state prohibiting divorces for any
cause, will hardly be able to get such a
bill on the statute book. In South Caro-
lima they have long had on, anti-divorce
law on the statute book, but 1t is evaded
continually by parties who just skip
across the state line and get what they
want. There are many Americans who
have little moral sense on the subject of
divorce. They would like to have the
Turkish divorce law in operation, for
it occasions the least degree of incon-
yenience. No court is necessary, for the
injured party has only to say: II divorce
you!' three times, and the bond is cut,
the husband making the wife an allow
ance for her support. But really are not
some of our state divorce laws nearly as
accommodating to discordant married
couples? A uniform divorce law on the
federal statute book, clearly defining mar
riage as the union of one man and one
woman, would annihilate polygamy beyond
redemption and it is desirable that such
a law shall find place there as soon as
the proper amendment can be favorably
acted upon by the constitutional process.
