1t is a wonder which has become
commonplace that each of the millions
of men and women in the world has an
appearance so different from all the
others as to be easily recognizable
among the throng. The rare exception
TO the rule. as in the case OF those twin
brothers one of whom died recently in
Boston. is regarded as little short OF
miraculous, although in reality the
miracle is in the usual unlikeness, IN
stead of in the occasional likeness. To
be sure, all Chinese look alike to Amer
leans, but it is equally true that all
Americans look alike to Chinese. The
fact doubtless is that the distinguish
ing varia tons are not the same for
the two races. We look at two Asatic
faces, and seeing them alike where
Caucasian faces are different, do not
notice the unlikeness in other and I'M
expected details. The prevalent idea
that various nations have a type OF
face is open to discussion. We speak
of typical Irish or Italian face, as If
it would be recognizable under any
circumstances. But do not dress, the
fashion of wearing hair and beard, the
attitudes due to occupation and the
complexion due to climate play a very
large part in the composite picture
which we call type? Certain 1t is
that although there may be charac-
teristic American voice or figure, there
is no distinctive American face. This
may be accounted for by our miscella-
neous forbears but it is quite likely to
be explained by our widely varied lives
and occupations. even among those
belonging to the same social plane. The
recognizable handwriting of each man
and woman Is another curious and
wonderful fact. The forger becomes
clever, not by accident, but by long
and severe training; and even he Is
soon discovered. The subtle expression
of personality which is the work of the
brain debating to the sensitive hand
is as varied as the microscope shows
hand and brain to be. In short, the
amazing variations in personality &C
far to make credible the Christian
faith that by an intelligence capacious
enough to contain them all, the human
units may be distinguished as easily
as we, with out limited powers, may
distinguish our friends.

A Familiar Face.

The genial bishop Of New York and
the most famous of English-speaking
actors doubtless have already much in
common with one another, says writ
or in the Philadelphia Press. Were
there nothing else, however, they have
both been victims Of a similar misun-
derstanding of a kind which Is pecu-
l,arly the product of twentieth century
fame. Every one is familiar with the
story of Henry Irving, arrested In MS

a small girl and of her triumphant an

GATHERING MOSS IN ACADIA
Forest in Proximity to Navirable
Water Chosen.

In selecting the place of operation
u forest Is always chosen in proximity
10 navlgable water. When the labor
ers arrive the first thing considered is
the construction of living quarters. but
the problem is not a hard one. as the
light material necessary is already at
hand. Stakes six or seven feet high
aEd three or four apart are driven in
TO the ground and the sides are wat
tied with palmetto boughs. The roof
Is matched with the same material.
ana the whole furnishes a storm-proof
residence that is comparatively COM
portable. These, sometimes to the num-
Der Of forty or more, are built close
together, for the moss gatherers from
a certain community always work to-
gether. The household affairs arrang-
ed in camp, the women sally forth
armed with long forks. Everywhere
the moss trails in immense festoons
from the branches of the trees, and by
twisting the fork in one Of these. many
pounds may be brought down at one
time with but slight exertion. At the
conclusion of the days picking the
moss is packed in bags and carried to
the margin of the water, where 1t is
buried so that it will remain inun-
dated.
In a week or ten days the soft gray
coating that covers the threa Dis rots
away. The moss is then taken up and
washed, dried and packed once more
in bags, when it is ready for market.
All this work is done by the women
of the country, except occasionally a
negro woman is hired to do the labor
of burying, washing and drying. Buy

ing vessels come along, gather it up

For many hundred years manufac-
turers and craftsmen of various kinds
guarded the secrets of their trade as
If success depended upon keeping CON-
petitors ignorant Of their methods.
Monopoly of trade was sought through
monopoly of knowledge. The day of
the trade secret has passed. although
there are some survivals where manu-
facturers are not content with the
short monopoly that the patent system
gives to them. In its place has dawn
ed the day of trade conferences. in
(which men discuss processes of man.
nfacture and methods of sale. Last
winter a committee of Englishmen en-.
gagged in various trades visited the
United States to study American meth
DDS. The American factories were
opened to them. and all information
which they sought was given freely
They reported the result of their in
vestigationS recently. A company of
German agricultural experts have beef
in this country studying American
farming methods, In the hope that
they may improve agricultural condi-
tons at home. 1t is only in recent
years that Europeans have begun to
study America, but Americans have
been learning from Europe for long
time. The consular service greatly
improved in recent years, has supplied
much information to American produc-
ers Men engaged in distinctiveiy in
tellectual occupations have long recog-
nized the necessity of getting together
to compare notes and to talk over the
things in which they had a common
interest. The conferences of ministers
and the medical associations are good
examples of the practice Although
there have been boards Of trade and
chambers of commerce for years, the
trade conference in its present form is
a recent product. 1t is the result OF
the broader education Of the world,
which has made men dissa tisfied until
they have learned all there is to know
about the thing in which they are in
terested, whether it be the manufac-
ture of locomotives. the raising of
beets or the origin Of Greek roots.

Christ ard the Gospel.-It is the
spirit of God working in us which leads
us to go to church Sunday after Sun
day and year after year, to hear the
same theme of Christ and the Gospel.
In all the other things we want
changes and variations, but we are
never tired Of hearing of Christ, his
death and resurrection.-Rev G.. f..
Miller, Episcopalian, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Religious Persecution.-Th funda-
mental principle upon which our ma
ton was founded is primarily per-
acts of inhumanity. and from the be-
ginning of our existence our national
spirit ever rose in instructive denuncia-
ton of governmental atrocity and re-
ligious persecution Rev. Henry
Frank. Independent, New. York city.
True Reiigion.-There is no argu-
ment against our religion. The one
great argument Is this saying one
thing and doing another-proclaimin
these high truths, coming close to this
altar where Jesus lives and loves. and
then going forth to engage in corrupt
politics. n degraded and sensual life.
in bitterness and hatred and fraud and
deception.-Bishop Spaulding, Roman
Catholic, Chicago, III.
Claims of Society.-That individual
has selfish conception of liberty who
rejoices in his own freedom to act and
think as he pleases, and who expects
that others must acknowledge his
claim without asserting their own
rights. Society has claims upon us,
and we must bear in mind that its
voice is heard in its own traditions,
customs and habits.-Rev. G. w. Grin
ton. Methodist New York city.
Catholics and the Bible.-The time
will come when the world will under
stand what Catholics think of the
Bible. They will know that but for
the Catholic church there would be no
Bible. The church regards the Bible
as the inspired word of God. written.
as it were, by the finger of God. and
we Catholics, under pain of damnation,
must accept it.-Bishop b. j. Kelley.
