ANCIENT BABYLON.
Hts Great Wall Was One Of the Won
dcrs Of Those Days.

According to Hcrodotus, the ancient
city Of Babylon stood on broad, level
plain and was On exact square Of four
teen miles each way, making the entire
circuit of the city fifty-six miles. 1t
was protected both by a wall and Il
mont, the latter being broad and deep
and kept constantly filed with water.
But the wall was the wonder Of won
dor, being 93 Is feet in width and an
cNCN 200 feet in height This monster
barrier was provided with 100 gates,
all Of solid brass, the IintelS and side
pieces being in bronze. Cross walls
ran along the banks Of the Euphratcs,
each provided with twenty-five gates,
which corrcSpondcd to the number of
streets running In each direction from
the river.
The most remarkable edificc inside
the wall was the temple OF Bel, a pyra-
mid of eight square stadia. On the
summit Of this pyramid stood pure
gold image Of Bel forty feet high, two
other smaller figures of the same pre-
cious metal and Il golden table forty feet
long and fifteen feet wide This won

ART OF CONVERSATION,

Caroline Hazard in her "IIducation

THE GREAT CONDOR.
1T Is the Most Difficult Bird In the
World to Trap.

world to Trap.
Probably the great condor is the most
difficult bird in the world to trap. One
Of the great vulturcs, it inhabts lofty
peaks Of the Andes, hardly accessible
to man. 1t builds its nest among the
topmost crngs, often on Il ledge OF some
prccipice with an almost perpendicular
drop OF many hundred feet.
An extremely wary bird, it shares
with its congcncrs the provcrbial "ca-
gle eye and is thus able to soc i'm
mrnsc distances while yet unseen by
man. It's Wings have spread of
twelve feet, and, though it's flight is
heavy, it can sustain itself for long pc
riOdS in the nir.
TO trap It men ascend to its haunts
and shoot some animal Of considerable
size. This is skinned, and man lies
down by the body under the skin and
waits, perhaps for hours. Soon con-
doris come flocEing round until one set
ties on the skin, when the man below
grips It's legs, filings the skin over it
and stahS it to death.
The strength Of these birds is enor-
nous, and the condor hunters often
have their arms broken by strokes
from their powerful wings.

AS TO ADVERTISING.

We sometimes receive inquiries
as to the standing of persons who
advertise themselves in newspapers
and magazines as Christian Science
practitioners. We answer these in
quiries by saying that Christian
Scientists do not advertise, and it is
safe to assume that the persons who
thus bring themselves to the atten-
tion of the public are not in any
manner identified with our denomi-
nation nor with it's healing work.
The following reference to the
methods employed by unauthorized
persons who pose as Christian Sci
entists, is copied from previous
issue of the Seminal:
ut unnecessary for us to say that
methods of advertising akin to those
quack doctors and vendors OF patent
nostrulns are not countenanced by
Christian Scientists. On the con-
trary, theysare reprehended.
christian Scientists have done
all they properly can do in the way
of advertising when they unobtrusi-
vely make known the fact that they
hold themselves IN readiness to res
pond to calls for healing sickness or
otherwise aiding those who desire
such services as come within their
province or line of duty"
The above is as true to-day as
when it was written, and correctly
sets forth the attitude of Christian
Scientists as being one of willing
ness and readiness to help those
who desire their ministrations.
rather than that of soliciting the
attention and patronage of psrsons
who may be attracted by skilfully
worded advertisement.
Christian Science healing is not a
thing of barter and sale; it is holy
ministry into which greed, selfish
ness, and self-seeking cannot enter,
The commercialism that bids for
patronage and dollars is inconsis-
tent with the true sense of Christ
healing and must ultimately prove
to beasdelusion to both practitioner
and patient. Christian Scientists
know that those who would avail
themselves of the healing power OF
this Science must turn to it natural
ly and without undue influence.
1t may be urged that unless Chris
tian Scientists advertise, the public
will not know how nor where to find
a partitioner, but this will not suf-
tice as an excuse for adopting meth
DDS not in keeping with the proper
reserve and dignity which BELTS the

President Roosevelt is opposed
to certain features of the Rosebud
bill. He told the members of the
South Dakota delegation so last
Monday night at their conference
with him. In fact, he was en-
phat1c in stating that that if the
bill was not modified, particularly
in regard to the price of lands, that
he would veto the measure,
The delegation from South OAK
ota endeavored to show the presi.
dent that he was wrongly informed
as to the lends included in the bill
to be opened to settlement, but the
president was unyeilding, and the
delegation is in a quandary to
know just exactly how to proceed.
Commissioner Jones, of the In
dian bureau, was present. at the
conference, as were all the men,
bers of the South Dakota delega-
ton with the exception of Repre-
sentative Martin, who, until yester-
day, has been confined to his home
with the grip.
The president stated at the con-
terence that the upset price of the
lands, So per acre, was too low and
that the price should be S. per
acre. This, the delegation took
exception to, and, according to
reports, the English language was
none too vast to express the
thoughts of those who were parties
to the conference. The president
suggested that the bill should be
modified so that the lands could be
sold tc the highest bidders, a
method which has been repeatedly
suggested by Commissioner Jones.
The South Dakotans thought this
absolutely impractlcable, ,and urged
that it would create land monop-
oily in few individuals, the very
thing the bill sought to guard
against. And so the conference
terminated.
Representative Martin will see

Marshall Hewitt arrested an
extremely refractory "drhnk" the
