totem post" from Queen Charlotte 6
Island, British Columbia. 1t was pre-
sented by Prof. Tylor, who obtained
it through the agency of TIE Hudson

totems is due to the increasing inf1u-

ETHICS OF MARRIAGE.

No Reason Why . Woman should Be NJ
Beck and Call of Man.
But though there can be no eman-
cipation from marriage, this is not say
ing that there may not be emancipa-
ton in marriage. says William NJ.
Salter in the January Atlantic. Mar
riage is not necessarily q one-sided
contract, in which the woman agrees
to obey or to serve. To consent to
make ones self another's subject OF
servant is unworthy Of human being,
even if done freely. In law we do not
allow one person to sell himself into
slavery to another; the contract is
null and void. There is no reason in
morals why a woman should put her
self at the beck and call of man.
Any true marriage is relation of
equals-it is a relation in which the
freedom OF each is respected by the
other; 1t Is a relation of mutual SER
vice, in which force Is never used, in
which command is never heard. II the
wife is obliged to submit to her hus-
band, that is barbarism. no matter
who, what rite, what Bible, what law,
sanctions 1t. Authority may be excus-
ed over children. 1t may be justified
in the state, but to the extent it is ex-
ercised between partners in the mar
riage relation. the beauty, the sacred
ness of the relation is gone.

EIectrIcity as a Eattener.

A member of the medical faculty of
the University of Michigan has dis
covered that a galvanic current pro-
notes the growth of tissue. Two cages
of guinea pigs, six to the cage, were
experimental with. The guinea pigs
were all exactly the same age.
Through one o. the cages an electric
current was passed day and night.
The other cage was in no way electri-
fed. For a stated period the animals
in both cages were fed with precisely
equal quantities of food Of the same
quality. The experiment proved that
guinea pigs who lived in the electrified
cage gained in weight during meas
ured time 10 per cent more than those
in the non-electric cage. If, as re-
suit of these experiments, electricity
be applied on large scale to tn fat
tening of animals used as food possibly
electric bacon" or electric beef" will
command a special price.

Took Wrong Precautions.

The story is told of Boston woman
who nved nearly all of her So years
in a hotel, with a constant anticipation
and fear of fire. Every night she placed
on a chair beside the bed thick fan
mel wrapper having many deep pockets,
together with a pair of shoes, into
which the poor dear expected to slip at
the first alarm All her valuables were
within hand reach, and no fire depart
ment ever drilled for hurry call with
more assiduity than this expectant
woman, who was finally drowned.

Tribute to Dean Hole,

1t Is not given to every man to enter
on q trade in his eighty-third year
But this may be said to have been
the lot OF the famous Dean Hole. who
was presented at Rochester. England,
with the freedom of the Tin Plate
Workers company. The worthy dean,
who is everywhere known as a deter
mined raconteur and as a mighty
grower of roses before the Lord. re-
ceived the honor in his drawing room
from the hands of the master of the
company. E. Bruce Millar, who was
surrounded by leading tin plate work
ers. The freedom" was presented on
an Illuminated parchment full Of his
toric emblems and early typographical
niceties taken from the guilds
archives. Although very small COM
pany, the tin platers are not a feeble
folk; they have organized two exhibi,
tions OF tin and wire work since 1878.

Kubeiik VIII Outsrow IL.

Jan Kubelik. who Is in search of a
soul, acknowledges that there is only
one way to find it. He pines for a
woman to love. BY her love the ten
derest passions of my soul will be
transmitted to the world through my
music" That depends. Jan. Only un-
successful love pours itself out in a
never-ending strain Of music. The
soul ftsn't really born until the man
has had a crushing disappointment.
Jan is very young. What Is your
ideal?" be was asked. "A girl who
would die for me-" replied the soulless
youth. She must love me sincerely,
devotedly, intensely, above everything
else on earth" All! Jan, Jan, you are
very, very young, While she is dying

Oldest House in America.

There have been controversies re-
garding the location Of the Oldest house
in America, but it is now agreed that
this landmark is situated in St. Angus
tine. Florida. on a tiny, narrow thor
oughfare near the center of the old
city. 1t was built in 1864 by the monks
Of the Order OF St Francis.
The whole Of the solid structure is
constructed of coquina, combination
OF sea shells and mortar that is almost
indestructible.
his substance was quite plentiful in
the vicinity Of st. Augustine. The walls
OF the old city gate. as well as that OF
Fort Marion, are built of this material
and are still in an excellent state OF
preservation.
When Sir Francis Drake sacked and
burned the town, this was the only
house left in his path of destruction
and it is consequently highly priced as
a remnant of the days of the old re-
gime. A cocoa palm planted by the
monks still stands as sentinel over
the little edifce.

Porcelain SioIiDs.

A well known manufacturer of mu-
steal instruments in Germany has in
PRODUCED a process for making violins
from clay. These fddles are of the
ordinary pattern, but, are cast in moulds
so that each instrument is an exact
counterpart of its fellows. 1t is ga d
but it is somewhat hard to believe
that the porcelain body acts as bet
ter reSonatOr than one of wood, and
that the tone of the instrument IS
therefore singularly pure and full. The
same inventor is also making nando-
lines of china clay. The obvious dis
advantage Of q musical instrument be-
ing made of china clay is the brittle
ness of that material, as well as its
weight. but both these drawbacks seem
to have been forgotten. For some
time We have heard rumors of most
excellent violins being made of alum
mum and this metal, from its extreme
lightness and other qualities, would
seem to be admirably adapted to such
purpose.

Novel Use for Old Magazines.

A new way Of saving the special
magazine articles in which she is in
terested has been found by a woman
who considers it waste of money to
have such periodicals bound. When
the other memb ers Of the family have
finished reading the magazines she re-
moves the wire or cord that holds the
leaves together and takes out the ar
ticles she wishes to preserve. These
are then sorted into envelopes marked
history" verse" ''fictiCn, etc. When
she has collected enough articles to
form a thousand page book on any
subject she numbers the pages over,
writes an index ard sends the books to
be bound. In this way she has COL
lected several volumes on subjects of
special interest.

A Georraphical Novelty.

The point where Utah. Colorado. Ari-
iona and New Mexico touch each other
is called the four corners. This fact is
not a strange one. but when we come
to find that Is the only place where
four states or territories point. we find
that this spot is in some ways unique
one. Not only is this the only place in
the United States where such a juno
ton occurs, but 1t is the only one OF its
kind in the world. This statement
seems broad one. but a short study of
the maps of an atlas will show that it
is correct. and, more than that, that at
no other place in the United States do
more than two state corners touch each
other

Queer and Curious.

Blind till life's end, and ended all his
roaming,
All, never, never more
To see the white crests Of the breakers
foaming
On Deven's rugged shore.
Never again to see the tall ships flying
On wings Of snow.
Never to hear the eager voices crying
Its westward ho!'
Gone like a dream the wild old days
forever,
The struggle and the fight;
And the long march of steadfast, stern
endeavor
Through tropic day and night
Gone the mad lust to see the Spaniard
lying
Slain by his hand,
To pay the debt of that dear brother
dying
In foreign land.
So peace has come after the struggle
dreary,
The right has conquered wrong,
And falls like balm on mind and soul
a-weary
Ayacanora's song.
His wife forever-never to be parted
Sorrow is dumb
And Hate and Pride have evermore de-
parted
When Love is come.

A Lost Idol.

The papers say that New York
lawyer is suing q steamship company
for $4,000 damages for the loss OF an
Egyptian idol which he shipped to New
York from Palermo. Times have
changed since the hymn-writer sang Of
the dearest idol l have known,
whers'er that idol be-" and pleaded to
be relieved of It. Here's man who
wants his idol back-a pretty dear one
at that. Better for him to be content
with his damages. The average col
lectors attitude toward a good old
Egyptian god must be almost too wor-
shipful to be encouraged in Christian
country The hymn-writer's sentiment
was safer.-Harper Weekly.

Coney Island NIiners.

Men and boys who live at Coney ISL
and and Bath Beach are now busy at
their winter occupation OF searching in
the sand for the money, watches, rings
and other valuables which were lost by
visitors during the summer months.
For the last few days the strong wind
has made the surf along the shore very
heavy and has also drifted the sand
away in Working with shovels and
fine sleeves, the miners dig large holes
in the sand, and at times many valu-
able things are found. The other day
two gold rings and few pieces OF coin
were picked up.

turning round, said, My, am blind"
Another bumped his head against a
door and his sight was gone. Some of
them are born blind and all of them
with the tendency, so that shocks and

1S32ENSE WITH THE BIBLE.

witnesses In Maryland Courts Required
Simply to Affirm.
The Bible will be dispensed with
hereafter in administering oaths gener-
ally in the United States District and
Circuit Courts at Baltimore, as has
been the practice for some time in the
state courts. An order to this effect
was signed by United States Judge
Norris
The order states that when not spe-
cially prescribed by the Constitution
of the United States or an act of Con-
gress, the form of oath in the United
States Courts shall be the same as is
prescribed by the laws of the State of
Maryland (Acts of 1898, chapter 75).
Under the new practice the person
making oath will hold up his right
hand and in the presence of Almighty
God solemnly promise or declare" to
tell the truth, except in those cases
wherein this form is not pra ctfcable or
when II shall appear that some other
mode is more binding upon the con-
science of the person to be sworn.
Heretofore persons taking the oath
have been required to kiss the Bible.

The idea of damaging an snemy's
vessel by an under water attack Is very
ancient. Aristotle and Pliny had some
hazy ideas about the employment OF
divers for this purpose. King James l.
OF England was believer in sub
marine attack, and once risked his roy
al person in a descent in boat built
by his order. But the credit OF produc-
ing a really practical craft Of this Kind
undoubtedly belongs to the United
States.
Soon after the outbreak OF the war
for American independence submar-
inc boat known as the American Iur-
tie, because Of its shape, was con-
structed by David Bushnell Of Connec-
ticut. 1t was made of oak slaves,

VENETIAN LACES.
Great Advance ON the Methods of
Primitive Needle workera

ufoot Advance On the methods OF
Primitive Needle Workers
The stamp OF perfected elegance
which all Venice lace bears is the re-
suit OF its having been evolved in a
period and environment OF luxury and
constantly widening art development.
Primitive needlewomen display no art
ingenuity in getting beyond the SIM
pier twisted effects in thread work.
The product Of native Indians, of Sy-
rians, OF South Americans, and even
Of the Mexicans, is all fat. Twisted
threads forming meshes similar to
those seen in veiltngs and with star
ground, are the sole resource Of these
workers, to whom even the open but
tonhole stitch as an establishment is
unknown.
Though often most complex in de-
sign, the early laces of Italy and Spain
were equally fat until the workers be-
gan to initiate with the needle the
raised and knotted effects Of the hard
reticella or bone laces OF Greece Once
the method Of applying the buttonhole
stitch became known among them.
however. the experimenters among the
more enlightened workers OF those
countries. and later Of France and
England, were untiring in testing the
possibilities. soon this stitch became
the basis Of all Venetian laces. 1t was
used for the making OF every portion
of the pattern. including the plain and
ornamental brides that connected the
closely placed. but irregular. motifs
for the cordonets or raised borders and
edges, and even for the fi1ling-in
stitches.

Remarkable Fossil Quarry.

One of the most unique quarries in
the world exists near the town of KEN
merer, Wyo.. at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. This quarry is
worked by hand, no blasting being per-
mitted, owing to the fragile nature of
its output The latter consists solely
of fossils, mostly those of few varie-
ties of fish. In operation the shale is
split into slabs, broken with sledge
hammers, and thrown over the bank
by hand. When the slabs containing
the specimens are cut and taken out
they are very moist and have to be
dried out to about one-third of their
original weight. After the drying has
proceeded far enough to permit of the
easy manipulation of the material, the
fossils are carefully cleaned by means
of special tools devised for the pur-
pose. Many of these fish fossils are ex-
ceedingly beautiful, every bone being
plainly shown in the outline. They
rank as the finest specimens of fossil
fishes yet discovered.
