ram1ly Dissensions.

Dissension in families often arises
from lack Of mutual consideration
among the members Of the family. The
''soft answer that turneth away wrath"
is forgotten for the hasty reply, the un-
kind retort, that kindle the fire of i'll
feeling. Love does not linger in the
home where rudeness shows it's unlove-
ly qualities. 1t chooses to dwell in the
home where the spirit of unselfishness,
of self control, Of thoughtfulness and
of charitableness makes the atmos-
phere sweet. The woman who is quick
to take offense is not like her of whom
Holy Scripture says, "Her ways are
ways of pleasantness. and all her paths
are peace" Happy homes depend on
happy hearts. Home is distinctively a
woman's sphere, and she who sweetens
it most makes earth nearer heaven.

TIE LOUISIANA PURCHASE,
Valuable Territory 1T brought to the
United States.

Valuable Territory 1T brought to the
United States.
The upper portion of the Louisiana
purchase was known as the territory of
Louisiana. 1t comprised all that terri
tory north of the thirty third degree OF
latitude, eastward to the Mississippi
and westward and northward as far as
the undetermined boundaries Of the
newly acquired possessions might ex-
tend. South of this was the district of
Orleans, with it's seat of government
fixed at New Orleans The cession Of
the upper part of the purchase did not
take place until March 10, 1904, when,
having received the cession from the
Spanish, the French representative
handed it over to the agent of the Unit
ed States with very brief and simple
ceremony.
BY these unimpressive proceedings
the government Of the United States
was put in possession of territory with
in whose boundaries now flourish the
states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missou-
ri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho,
Montana, the Indian Territory and
parts Of the states Of Minnesota and
Colorado. The men who were the ac-
tive agents in the transfer Of this
mighty land from one national jurisdic-
ton to another are well nigh forgotten
in the crowd and rush of later but not
less important events. By this historic
purchase the seat of mighty empire
was forever established. By this pur
chase the possibilities of developing
from the republic a world power were
strengthened. Under our benignant
rule comfort, luxury, prosperity and
every variety of material activity fill
the wide spaces in which our fathers
found only trackess wilderness. Com
mon gratitude, bids us recall with ac-
claim the names of Jefferson, Living
ston and Monroe, who, building better
than they knew, made this magnificent
transformation possible.-Noah Brooks
in Scribner's.

The Primitive Clock.

A naturalist, while visiting Great San
cir, one of those islands of the Indian
ocean known as the Celebes or Spice
islands, found a curious time recorder
lodged at the house of rajah. Two
bottles were firmly lashed together and
fixed in a wooden frame. A quantity
of black sand ran from one bottle into
the other in just half an hour, and
when the upper bottle was empty the
frame was reversed. Twelve short
sticks, marked with notches from one
to twelve, were hung upon a string. A
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number of nOtches CORE
spending to the hour last struck and
the one to be struck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on large gong.

BURIAL CUSTOMS.
The Various Methods Used In the
Disposal Of the Dead.


The disposal of the dead among civ
ilized nations has usually consisted Of
one of the following three ways:
Firstly. of closing up the body in earth
or stone; secondly. of burning the body
and committing to earth the ashes.
and. thirdly, the embalming of the
body. The earliest form of interment
Of which we have any account was
that of the paleolithic cave dwellers,
who buried their dead in natural grot-
toes and crevices in the rock similar to
those in which they had lived.
When we come to the later stone age
we find that the people throughout
Europe buried in chambered barrows
and cairns. Next comes the bronze
age, with it's changes. and among 9th
ers the burial of the dead. The cham
bered barrows passed away, and in
their places barrows were frequently
used without chambers, and cemeteries
of stone cists set in the ground were
largely employed. Frequently a nat
ural eminence of sand or gravel was
the place assigned for burial, and
around it We're circles of standing
stones. During these prehistoric times
cremation was also practiced sside by
side with the simple interments of the
people. In pagan times it was custom
ary, whether tie dead cie buried
with or without cremation, to put in
their graves such articles as urns or
vessels Of clay, bronze, gold or glass,
clothing, personal ornaments, imple-
ments and weapons Of warfare.
Cremation was largely abolished
when Christianity spread over the
country, and the interment of grave
goods was restricted to kings and
priests, who continued to be buried in
their royal and sacerdotal robes and
with their Insignia of office.
Down to'the tenth century cremation
was customary among the tribes locat-
ed along the Volga. Here also human
sacrifices in honor of the dead pre-
vailed. Records of eyewitnesses of the
horrible ceremonies have come down to
us. Charlemagne prohibited this usage
among the conquered Saxons under
pain of death. In India the living wild
ow was in many instances down to
1929 burned with the corpse of her hus-
band

HOW HE BECAME A LAWYER
The Story Of Jolfq sherman's Ad-
mission to the Bar.


When John Sherman was quite
young he was taken into the law Office
Of his brother Charles at Mansfield, o.,
to help about the Office and make HIM
self generally useful. One day when he
was in his twenty-first year he took
Charles one side and quietly asked him
for loan of $50.
-"Whatv Charles exclaimed. "What
do you intend doing with so much
money!"
II am going to Columbus to be ad-
mitted to the bar" John replied.
Charles was greatly surprised, as
John had never asked him for any ad-
vice regarding the profession nor had
he ever appeared to be interested to any
extent in the study of law.
"YOu can't be admitted to the bar
without some knowledge of the law"
said Charles.
John maintained that he knew more
about law than some others and as
sured his brother that he would try to
raise the money somewhere. M
"You know" he added. ''it will be
necessary for me to have respectable
clothes and enough money to pay my
travelling and hotel expenses
Charles finally ordered the clothes
and provided him with the necessary
money. At Columbus on the day he
became of age John was admitted to
the bar. On his return he said to
Charles:
II am going to Iowa to practice law"
Charles demonstrated with him.
"There is room for both of us to prac-
tice law here in Mansfield" Charles
told him.
They then and there became partners
and continued to practice together un-
til the formation of the Republican
party, when John was sent from the
Mansfield district as representative
in congress.
Later he was elected to the United
States senate, and the balance Of his
life became very important and in
teresting part of the history Of his
country.-W Washington Star.

Alabama Negroes.

The supreme court of the United

law which DISTINGUISHES the negro
voter, a good one, and as is the
case in Mississippi, there will be
no further trouble on that score
The negroes of Montgomery had
tried TO register and found that
they could not They took the
matter TO the circuit court, where
they lost out. and then went to the
highest court in the land.
The negroes complained that
under the new constitution adopted
in that State they were not per
mitted to register, which as a mat
ter of course, excluded them from
participating in the elections last
fall The supreme court holds
that the circuit court did the right
thing in dismissing their bill.
This leaves the matter 10 the
State courts TO decide who is en-
titled to register, and that settles
it.
