The Coast Line of the Pacific.

Although the Pacific covers more
than half the surface of the globe and
has an area estimated roughly at co.
100000 square miles, yet fits coast line,
even including that of the Indian
ocean, is but $4,000 miles, or about
5000 miles less than that of the At
lantic. The shores of the Atlantic are
very deeply indented by large seas, of
which the Baltic and Mediterranean
are the most remarkable. Besides
these, the greatest lateral seas and
CULTS in the Atlantic are the gulf of
Mexico, Caribbean sea, Hudson bay
and the bay Of Biscay. If we take
from the Pacific the Red sea, Arabian
sea and bay of Bengal, which are part
of the Indian ocean, we leave it with
a remarkably straight coast line, with
the exception Of few deep indenta-
tons on the coast of Asia.
1t is owing to a free Improvisation
of land and water and consequent ease
Of communication between one country
and another that the most civilized ma
tons of the world, with few excep-
tons, have lived and now live on the
shores Of the north Atlantic and it's
lateral seas.

Strong on Divorce

Buffalo, N. Y, May 25.-The gen
eral assembly Of the Presbyterian
church of the United States today
reopened the discussion on divorce
and marriage and by Uwo-thirds
vote passed a resolution which puts
the Presbyterian church in accord
with the stand taken by all other
Protestant churches, but which
leaves it unbound by the restrictions
of the Roman Catholic church.
Rev. DR.. Young of Pittsburg pre-
sented new resolution which is
practically substitute for the Sec
ond section of the recommendation
of the committee on marriage and
divorce, which was eliminated by
the assembly on Monday.
Gen. Prime of Yonkers moved to
have the substitute of DR.. Young
referred to the committee on the
church polity, but his motion was
lost. The substitute reads as fol-
lows:
Recognizing the comfy which
should exist between the demonina-
tions of the interchurch conference
and believing that it would be desir-
able and tend to the increase Of a
spirit of Christian unity, we earn
nestlv advise all the under the care
and authority of this general as
sembly to refuse to unite in marri-
age any person. or persons, whose
marriage such ministers have good
reason to believe is forbidden by
the laws OF the church in which such
person or persons seeking to be
married may hold membership"

BANNS OF MARRIAGE.
A Custom That Dates Back to the
Primitive Christian Church.


Primitive Christian Church.
The custom of publishing the banns
Of marriage dates back to the primi-
tive church, for Tertullian, who died
A. d. 24O, states that warning of in
tended marriages was given among the
early Christians.
It appears that the publication of
banns was habitual in many places
long before there was any general law
on the subject, since Gregory ". Q198-
1916 speaks of the banns from Latin
bannum, proclamation; Anglo-Saxon,
ban) being given out in church, &C.
cording to custom. The practice was
introduced into France about the ninth
century and in 1176 was enforced in
the diocese of Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub
1ect in England was an order made in
the synod Of Westminster in 1900 to
the effect that NO marriage should be
celebrated till the banns had been pub
lished in the church on three several
Sundays or feast days. This rule was
made obligatory throughout the church
by the fourth Lateran council held in
Rome in 1915. By act of parliament
banns must now be given out in Eng
land on three Sundays.-London An

Washingtons Choice Of a Profession

w aShlngtOnS CnOlCo ol I roioSSloii
The question of whether | should
become a surveyor by profession
was much debated among US. MY
youth was against it, but | was IN
strength and seriousness older than
my years. My mother opposed It,
as she did every change, being OF
those who are defeated beforehand
bv obstacles. Without any better
plan of life to offer, she insisted that
it was not an occupation for a
gentleman. This was. in a measure
true in Virginia. The bounds OF
estates were often vague or contest
ed, and there was a strong prejudice
against the persons employed to
settle these disputes. or who were
engaged in laying out new planta-
tons beyond the Alleghanies and
who took daily wages like mechan-
les.
The planters settled on tide
water coast or on the rich river
lands were long since uneasy be-
cause they feared the settlements
made inland might interfere with
their control of the trade in tobacco
in the culture of which they were
exhausting the soil. At one time
the king endeavored to prevent set
tie ments beyond the mountains, un-
der the pretence that they would be
too little under government. 1t
was believed however that the jeal-
ousy of the long settled planters
was the real means eff bringing a.
bout this decree which no one obey
ed. The more enterprising families
who were disposed to engage in the
acquisition of such lands, were look
ed upon with suspicion. Nor with
their active aSents regarded with
favor. Indeed, lony afterwards |
was subject to reproach because OF
having been engaged in the occupa-
ton of a surveyor of lands. The
prejudice entertained by the gentry
of Virginia was not without founda-
ton in the character of many of
those who were thus employed for
they were not all Of a decent class,
and were subject 20 be Influenced
by brides, so that out of their mis-
conduct arose many tedious dis
putes as to boundaries.
Although among my elders there
was much discussion as to my choice
of means of livelihood, cannot re-
member that it in any way effected
nv own resolutions or in the end,
those of my brothers. It was finally
concluded that [ was to serve under

Hard Times Felt In Wall Street.

New York. Wall street is
having such period of business
depression as it has not expert
enced in several years, and one
result of it is that hundreds of
clerke have been dismissed in the
last ten days or two weeks.
Retrenchments have been
made throughout the Wall street
district. Among the big broker
age concerns and banking-houses
the depression has been so pro
nounced that nearly all of them
have found it necessary to re
duce the working force One of
the largest operators on the
Stock Exchanges says that no
less than $500 clerks and others
employees had been dismissed by
the brokerage and banking
houses in the last two weeks.
'"There are more than 1900
banking and brokerage houses
in Wall street," said the opera
tor. "When you divide the bust
ness of yesterday among all this
multitude of interests, it must be
patent at glance that every day
means an enormouse loss to the
operators.
Among the reasons for the
general depression in Wall street
trading, perhaps the most potent
grew out of the enormous losses
sustained by the industrial group.
The blow that was given tC inves-
tors in steel alone was sufficient
to turn the public away from
Wall street for a considerable
period. The public lost millions
in steel common alone, and that
has made the people wary of all
classes of stock"
The firm of J. p. Morgan & Co
was among the frstto reduce it's
working force when the "hard
times" hit the street. Others
followed suit in rapid succession.
The firm of W. B. Franklin & Co.
has sent notices to all their clerks
and stenographers, informing
them that they must either &C
cept 80 per cent cut in salary
or take a vacation without pay.

Deafness Cenno, be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iDfamed condition o
the mucous lining of the Eus tachian
Tube. When this tube gets lnfam-
ed you have rulnbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catar-
rh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Mix-up in Relationship

Appleton, Wis, The determining
OF titles by descent OF the lands al
lotted by the government to the
Oneida Indians is one of the most
difficult tasks that has ever come up
in Outagamie county courts. The
proceeding will form the foundation
of future transactions. Thirty-eight
cases have already been disposed Of.
The allotment was made about a
quarter of century ago. Each In
dian and his squaw vas given be-
tween IS and 95 acres and each child
between % and 80 acres. Many of
these benefciaries are dead and the
proceedings are held to determine
the heirs entitled to the property.
Much of the land is valuable and if
placed on the market would bring $75
an acre.
The Indians know very little about
their relatives and still less about
their ancestors Some of them are
uncertain about the names of their
parents and others cannot tell how
many brother and sister they have.
or what has become of them. In
many instances no atten ton has
been paid to the date of death or to
the age of the heirs.
The ''mix-up" in relationship and
absence Of family records makes it
necessary for large number of wit
nesses TO be examined in each case.
The court room is frequently crouded
to the door with representative of
the reservation. The witnesses are
Of all ages and few can talk English.

thing has been noticed about
their language during the taking of

Effect Of the Tie-up.

-
Carriers Association have at last
d determined to make an effort to
put their property into service.
Wherever captains and steamers
will be sent out for freight. and
kept on the move. 1t IS hoped
that in this way the owners will
eventually get steamers enough
into service to practically put an
end to the tie-up. and cause a
complete resumption of traffic on
the Great Lakes.
The marine business of the
Great Lakes is the wonder OF the
world. It's tonnage is heavy, and
it's fleets includ ships that are as
transatlantic liners and as tit to
make the ocean voyage as they
are to take cargoes up and down
the lakes. The traffic OF the
lakes is closely related to the bust
ness prosperity of the country,
and the idea that it can be totally
suspended by differences OF opln-
on between sets of men as to
wage matters is significant OF
the colseness with which organ
ization of labor has match organ
lzation in business.
The tie-up of traffic has been
disastrous. The movement of
grain and -four to the seacoast
from the west has been stopped,
and the delivery of iron ore to
lower lake ports and the return
of coal to the ports at the other
extrem of lake traffic has been
prevented. Instead of receiving
upwards of 100000 bushels of
grain during May, from the up
per lake ports, as was done last
year. Buffalo received only a
little over half a million bushels
during that period. Business
everywhere along the lakes has
been similarly affected, as ship
pers were notified by the rail
roads not to send any freight
for lake lines.
The pressure to move grain
would have been tremendous it
the market for it were normal:
but it happens that the price OF
grain in the United States is re-
latively higher than it should be
to make export traffic profitable.
There would also have been
greater pressure to move iron
ore but for the fact that the iron
business is not IN the flourishing
condition that it was two years
ago. There is great demand
for coal to meet next winters
needs throughout the Northwest
and fears have been expressed
that the supply might be short
and the price comparatively
high if the tie-up should continue
until the season becomes too
short for the work of moving
the fuel. For this reason the
effort of the vessel owners to
end the tie-up will be watched
with interest by the consumers.
Another element of the popula-
ton that will welcome a complete
resumption of lake tarff1c is the
labor which IS annually employ
ed on the steamers and also on
the docks at which they load and

Chould the gods of unrest but fling at my feet
- A day and life to travel this earth
By ways where rivers and hills have birth,
And outand, and Ocean, and sky line meet
For O to be idle, and careless and free,
Where the foam swings white and the worldlies wide
And the heart that aches turns out with the tide
Where the will of the wanderer greets it's seal
If the gods should grant but life and day,
To wander and watch. to Journey and rest,
Each beat of that life-as the gods know best
Well. glad of it all, l should idle away;
And, Love- for the last gift left to me,
Should turn where life and the roadway part
O. one fixed home of this wandering heart
And knel, at the end for day with thee!
