Seldom is the son of a small farmer in
Lancashire, England. He learned the
trade of a mechanical engineer, saved his
money, and emigrated to Australia at the
age Of Is. He meant to be rich and sue

wage in overcrow ded England.
When he arrived in Victoria, in 1858, the
gold rush was beginning, Seldom joined it
and tried his luck at the Bendigo diggings,
blt gained little except a great reputation
as a man able and ready TO Use his fists.

temper, but he has a strain Of chivalry In

Common Sense and Good Law.

"A few days ago the Associated Press
announced that a Kansas district Judge
of Topeka-had handed down
a =de.ision ihat the b il may BE 49, -,
in the public schools of that state. A
fuller report of the decision is brought
by the Kansas City Journal. It ap-
pears that a litigation, which is known
as the 'bible case,' has attracted a
great deal of attention in Kansas In
Topeka teachers of the public schools
read from the bible as well as from the
poets and story writer's in the opening
morning exercises. The custom was
assailed in the courts by an infdel of
the town who declared that he wanted
no religious instruction for his child
rem. The decision of Judge Hazen was
to the effect that reading from the
bible as a literary or oratorical exer-
else could not be considered as in vio-
lation of the prohibition in the consti-
tuition against establishing religious
dogmas or creeds. The mere fact that
the bible was the basis of a religious sys-
tenn did not taboo it as valuable adj
junct to liberal education Anaconda

Dislocated Her Shoulder.

. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but it
was quite. sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver-
tised for sprains and soreness, and she
asked him to buy her bottle of it,
which he did. It quickly relieved her
and enabled her to sleep which she had
not done for several days. The son was
so much pleased with the relief it gave
his mother that he has since recon-
mended it to many others. For sale by

The losses by fire during 1902 were
considerably less than in either 1900 or
1901, when they were so extremely
heavy that a substantial advance in
insurance rates followed. It is expect
ed that property to the value of $780,
100000 will be destroyed annually in
the United States and Canada, and
that amount was nearly reached in
1902. In each of the two previous
years it was $15OOO,OOO greater. In
view of the substantial decrease in loss
es, it would appear that the fire under
writer's ought to make corresponding
reduction in insurance rates.

lsissding Out About the Past.

- AAEAAAS OuOS IAOOUO sGHCg Is4DOss q
Through the tireless researches Of the
2Archeologists the modern world is
learning little BY. little many things Of
value and interest about the long dead
and buried past. The latest find was
the complete copy Of Timotheus' poem:
on the battle Of Marathon set forth in
ancient Greek characters, found in a
wooden coffin unearthed by a German:
archaeological expedition in Athens.
Greek history credits Timotheus with
being an excellent Athenian musician
and dithyrambic poet who among other
things, added the eleventh string to the
cfthara- an addition of no small conse-
quence in those days and possibly
having some bearing upon the evolu-s
ton Of the modern harp. u
In his "Alexander's Feast Dryden
places Timotheus ION high amid the
tuneful quire" where his Flying fin
gers touched the Tyre" whose .ttrem-,
bling notes." ascending the sky, In
spired heavenly joys" The name of
this sweetest of ancient singers has
come down to us quite as much Of a
myth as reality, and his music and
his dithyrambs have been lost sight Of
In the shadowy past until now brought
to light by archaeological research.
So archaeology is revealing many
things regarding the stored past which
we have been wont to look upon as
myths. The past century was rich in
classic finds. Among them, the New
York Independent, which devotes much
space to archaeology, records the mines
Of Heronidas, the odes Of Bacchylides,
the "Athenian Commonwealth" of
Aristotle, the code of Hammurabi, the
"Philosophumena" Of Hippolytus, the
"Teaching of the Apostles" the "Dia-
tessaron'' Of Tatian, the epistle of dag
netus, various constitutions and apoc-
ryphal gospels, portions of the old Sy-
riac New Testament and the Hebrew
"Ecclesiasticus." =
Perhaps all this is of no practical val
ue to our modern workaday world, but
It is nevertheless interesting and brings
us in touch with the remote past so
closely as to show that, after all, time
is short and the world is narrow. AS
the area of archaeological exploration
thus far has been comparatively small
numerous treasures of. classical, reli-
gious and oriental literature must still
be awaiting the explorers. Doubtless
long before the close of the present CEN
tury our knowledge of the world be-
fore the beginning Of the Christian era
will be we'll nigh as definite as our
knowledge of the world since that time.
