1t is significant circumstance that a
mong the pastors gathered this week in
the city for the Universalist convention,
there are no less than five women who are
successfully filling pulpits in our state A
ministry of 80 years in Maine divided into
but two pastorates, testifies eloquently to
the ability of one of them, while the others
are fast gaining reputation for eloquence
and conservation. The small parish, un-
able to pay clergyman with family to
support, a living salary can secure the ser
vices of a devoted Christian woman who
is free to minister TO her flock in things
temporal and spiritual. The idea is being
taken up by other denominations, and may
yet solve the problem of the small church
which so often is forced to remain pastor
less.-Maine Farmer.

A Beautiful Sight.

Of the seven other planets revolving
around the sun, six are on one side, five
of them visible with the naked eye every
morning about o'clock in the Eastern
horizon. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Tupi-
ter, Saturn and Neptune are all morning
stars. This string of worlds in the solar
system will greet our eyes until July II,
on which date the planet Saturn be-
comes an evening star and rises at sun
set. This phenomenon of all the planets
except Uranus being on the same side
of the sun is very rare and hence several
reasons lead us to expect at this time a
kind of weather unusual for this time
of the year.

Mining Activity.


The claims in the copper belt are being
developed rapidly and Systematically.

Duke is in high grade ore and there
seems to be an abundance of it On the
strength of the good showing the stock
is advancing rapidly to the dollar mark.
The company expects to continue sink
ing the drift until they encounter the
hanging wall. This will show Just
what there is in the lead between the
walls on the 200-foot level.
The Copper King Company people
have made all arrangements to begin
work on their claims. They have pro-
vided shaft house and have money in
the treasury, with which to push devel-
opment work right along. This is a
most promising proposition and little
development work ought to show up a
big lead of high grade ore The COM
pany are making n numbe- of sales of
treasury stock and all of this will be
used for development purposes. Work
will begin in few days and it is ex-
pected that it can be continued until a
paying mine is developed.
Two or three new companies have
been formed to develop claims lying in

scene at the Union Depot
when engine No. 1,057, the

thirteen coaches, packed to
the vestibules with prospec-

Knew the Value of Sleep.

One great secret of Napo-
Icons power was his ability
to sleep. If he had but an
hour for sleep he slept an
hour, even though the fate of
an army or of an empire hung
IN the balance while he slept.
Gen. Grant was another great
example of this ability to Law
aside work at quitting time.
Even in the wilderness cam
paign, when the responsible
ty of the movements of the
nations armies, stretched out
in battle line a thousand miles
long, lay on his shoulders;
when his goodnight COM
mands involved all night
marching and lighting of his
army of the Potomac. and his
waking orders might mean
victory or defeat, the killing
or the saving of a thousand
men-under it all he lay down
and dropped to sound sleep
as quickly as you or 1 when
we read ourselves sleepy over
an old story book. Grant
had what a great writer has
called a ''frictionless mind. !"
He saved for the wear of work
what others throw away on
The tear of worry. Here is a
sample of the other extreme.
Said a Minneapolis lawyer to
me today: "When I began
the practice of law I always
lost two nights before l had
a case in court, tossing about
and combating every thinka-
bic standpoint of my oppo-
nent. And I lost as much
sleep afterward upbraiding
myself for not having thought
of certain points at certain
pat occasions in the progress
of the case" Of what value
were these night thoughts to
this young attorney? About
as much value as night sweats
to a consumptivei / venture
to say that all the business
planning a man does in life
while lying on his back at
night isn't worth an hours
good thinking on his feet On
one June morning. AS COM
pared with the sleep it dis
such night thinking
isn't worth forty winks after
dinner. Burning the candle
at both ends sometimes makes
a fine bonfire. But it always
makes a bad grease spot of a
good candle.-The CONNER
