years, and Denmark is now regarded
as most promising field for mission
work ON behalf OF the sect. A news
paper organ and publishing house

books have been established In Copen-

a temple there like the parent taber-
nacle In Salt Lake City. Money for
this purpose is being collected In the
United States. to which about 500 Nor

hosson Common Historic.
A recent meeting in Boston brought
out some interesting facts regarding
the ancient elms or Boston's historic

however, that they had fifty or even a
hundred years ago. An agitation now
going on TO see that they are kept in
better condition than they have been
during the last few years is paralleled
by many earlier efforts to the same
end. Thus ON May II. 1701. bylaw
was passed ordering that mo person
shall lop. peel, girdle or deface any of
the trees now standing or that shall
hereafter be planted or set by order Of

fury, and as a result the Common has
always been delightful place of recre-
alton. Thus q traveller visiting Boston
In 1740 was able to give the following
pleasant description of the use to which
the Common was put by the citizens in
general:
"For their domestic amusements ev-
cry afternoon after drinking tea the
gentlemen and ladies walk the mall and
from thence adjourn to one another's
house to spend the evening-those that
are not disposed TO attend the evening
lecture, which they may do if they
please six nights in seven the year
round.
what they call the mall is walk
on fine green Common adjoining to
the southwest side OF the town. 1t is
near half mile over, with two rows
of young trees planted opposite to each
other, with fine footway between, in
imitation OF st. James park, and part
OF the bay of the sea which encircles
the town, taking its course along the
northwest side of the COMMONLY

and by the country ON the other-forms

OF the trees now standing in the
Common the one which has had the
most singular history and probably the
only one that has passed into litera-
ture is not an elm, but ginkgo tree.

the close of his talks the Autocrat of

mass lasts long enough to reach the
earth One fell on May 10, 1900. at
Felix, Ala. Meteors were seen on the
occasion referred to and sundry eXplo-

mass of meteoric substance weighing
seven pounds was discovered imbed-
ded in soft soil. This meteolite was
analyzed and found TO be built I'D of
such minerals as Divine, augite, trio

The dark color of the Felix stone is
stated to be due to the presence in
fair amount of the last-named sub

teorites. of cou~se, centers around the
fact that they enable us to obtain
glimpses of the composition of other

agreed on the unity of chemical COM

even the simple fact that it is hydro

COAL MINING IN INDIA.

Operations Carried on at a Compara-
lively Shallow Depth.
Coal mining in India is physically
very different from coal mining il Eu-
rope. The very simplicity of it has
been a hindrance to progress. There
is no gas; the pits are all shallow; one
of 300 feet is considered quite deep
pit; and many are entered by inclines,
which the people much prefer, as they
can stroll in and out at their pleasure.
Consequently any man thinks he is
good enough to be manager, and the
older pits resemble - hhit warrens more
than anything else. Most people would
consider an outcrop 90 feet thick as
good as a gold mine, yet the genius who
worked a quarry-it cannot be called Il
pit-Where this occurred managed to
tie the place up into a knot very soon by
the simple device of putting the spoil
ahead of him instead of behind. This
want of capable managers is a crying
evil.
All the seams worked in Bengal are
of a respectable, and many of them a
great thickness, 20 and % feet not be-
ing uncommon. Bengal coal compares
unfavorably with the Assam product in
respect of ash \ good sample contains
about 10 per cent of ash; the worst is
little better than stony refuse. Coal
mining in Bengal dates from 1887, and
the Bengal Coal Company was the pio-
neer in the industry, bringing its coal
down by water 10 Calcutta, even after
the railway was constructed. The bulk
of ii is raised from shafts, and is cut
by native miners with wedges. ham
mers and picks. In the up-to-date mines
an efficient system of underground
tramways leads the coal tubs to the pit
bottom.
The Equitable Coal Company is the
sole introducer of coal-cutting machin-
cry. but up to now it has not been a
great success. 1t IS in this direction,
says an official of the Bengal Coal Com
pany, namely, cheapening production
by an increased output, that any i'm
provement must be expected in the flu
ture for the great difficulty is labor.

are connected with the railway by sid

CONQUERING By LOVE.
BY Rev HaIter b. YasSaY

That love will achieve everything in
world where divers motives govern men,
and the cross-grained and perverse harks
back to a long ancestry of evil is too
much to affirm. On the other hand the
belief in loves ability to conquer is far
too feeble. And this is the mischief Of it.
He who said, Love your enemies" He
who talked about heaping locals of fire"
on the head of the determined and ugly
antagonist, believed in love. He came to
what Il meant.
And conquering love, to which we turn
as a last resort, might we'll be tried first.
That there are a few to whom love can
never be appealing, we are most Of us
inclined to believe. and then we take those
few and make them stand for humanity
in general. Never was there a greater
mistake.
Or olden time it was said, Only an eye
for an eye; the law holding men in check
so that two eyes might not be taken for
one. But Jesus saw that there was just
as much the spirit of vindictiyeness in
this, the laws regulation, as there would
be with no sue restraint and so He es-
tablished the new commandment. When
will we ever learn its meaning?
We talk about love being the ruling
passion; it is the ruling power. A Ma
poleon. going everywhere with conquering
armies, saw it, and he put Jesus highest
in the world. Every man who does his
conquering by love helps establish Jesus
estimate Of its conquering force.
If we could govern ourselves and hold
in restraint every other motive, then We
would have the chance to see how lo.c,
which is the Gospel. would have its free
course and b, slorifed. 1t is not in what
love has failed TO do, but where we have
failed, which makes love so little esteem
ed. 1t is underestimate in our practice,
however much We may praise it in our
philosophy.
That there is so little love in reforma-
tory institutions is secret of their great
failures. Yet corporations cannot love;
this is the individuals prerogative. Par
cnts, brothers and sisters. neighbors and
the people of our churches mot the
churches) can love. and in loving bless.
Before a brother was turned forth as a
heathen man and a publican the early
Church, in so many matters near the
heart Of Christ, gave specific directions
in the treatment of the offender In our
personal relations with men we often
proceed with the most summary treat
ment
No word need be spoken to make love
felt. even as no utterance is required to
harden the heart. Love is an attitude OF
the spirit the ways Of its expression are
as subtle as the rarest perfume. II will
90 anywhere and everywhere, and II we
can believe it. it will show conquerfng
power where we thought nothing save the
rod would be effective II will save a soul
from perdition and hide multitude Of
sins. where we in our unwisdom and
haste thought 'ouly the thunder Of Sinai
fitting.
