SPOONS complete the really necessary
tableware for a trio Of mountain dwell
lers. AS one descends into the Valleys
| home comforts increase in number.
Finally in the homes of the" well-to-do
there appear pictures on the walls, and
tables, and chairs increase in number;
as a rule carpets are conspicuous by
their absence.
But everybody works, winter and
summer. The hours are long-as long
as daylight-and the recompense, from
| an American view, totally inadequate
(many a man works for three francs
a day.; yet the common people are
much more content than are those of
England or France and on the whole
their condition is superior to anything
I have thus far seen this side Of the
Atlantic.
Initiative and Referendum.
Here the people have absolutely
democratic form of government. Every
thing is possible with the initiative
and referendum--even the confdscatton
of the wealth of the rich for the benefit
Of the poor. Nothing Of the kind is
thought Of Every scheme of exploita-
ton proposed has been voted down.
The electors are making haste slowly,
and even some of the railroads are still
under private control. Years ago, un-
der the spur of speculation, railroad
building was overdone and ever since
the country has had to carry the bur
den. But now the government has
taken control Of five Of the main lines,
so order is being brought out Of chaos,
though the department Is staggering
under the burden of 5000, ooo, 900 which
the purchase imposed.
While under natural conditions.
Switzerland is a free trade country, the
gradual increase of tariff restrictions
by Germany and Italy has led the
Swiss government to pass counter du-
ties, until now the revenue from this
! source is considerable In fact, it was
at one time proposed to give every
man, woman and child in Switzerland
! 40 cents year from customs duties,
but the measure was voted down.
Women do All Kinds Of Work.
l found in Berne women sweeping
| the streets. In Geneva I saw them
| helping in preparing the nets for fish
ing. In field work, such as wedding
and haying, they greatly preponderated
In numbers over the men. In the fac
tories, in Switzerland or elsewhere, the
women are given the preference and
their pay is exceedingly small In
fact, Edward Higgins, United States
consul at Berne, told me he had seen
the pay roll of one factory where some
| Of the women earned as low as ST.;
| for two weeks work. I examined no
| payrolls myself, but I have no doubt
| Mr.. Higgins statistics are correct.
| Here as elsewhere, the average size
Of families is decreasing, though the
! number of marriages is increasing

WITH RELIGIOUS
CONTEMPORARIES
3einp Our Own Angels.

Being Our Own Angels.
God often uses ourselves to help o'lr-
selves. In the day Of need lie Increases
our strength: this Is the angel whom He
sends to help us. In ways unexpected
and inexplicable God enables those who
call upon Him to do things or bear bur-
dens which were altogether too great for
them. A marvellous tale is told Of Fran
ci5 Xavier, the missionary. Two angels,
Mt Is said, came down and bore the saint
across raging river, so that he could
proceed safely on his missionary journey.
But when we turn to that travellers own
diary. VIC find that while God did give
/ him two angels to help him across the
river, those angels were his own twparms
and hands, by which he swan vigorously,
and, after he had given up all hope, was
still able to win to land. He bowed and
thanked God devoutly for the deliverance
which God had enabled him to work out
for himself, The wise man never forgets
that hands and heart and head and spirit
are agencies and witnesses Of Gods gift
and Gods presence. He receives them
as such, and uses them. He finds that
God makes ali these His ministers.-sun-
day School Times.
Looking Up.
morning will I direct my. prayer unto
Thee. and will look up!" Out OF our
weakness and want. away from the world,
Its vanity and emptiness far above all
human help, we look up to the strong
and enduring mountains Of God. His
foundation Is in the holy mountains"
''The strength of the hills Is His also"
When your eyes look up the slopes and
far away. and behold the peaks that are
sunllt and abiding, repeat the one hum
dred and twenty-frst Psalm: II will lit
up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence
cometh my help."-Central Presbyterian.
AS to Prayer and Singing.
Do not magnify preaching at the ex-
pense of prayer and singing. We have
seen this done and have noticed only unr
satisfactory results. In our opinion, the
least formal services in revival meetings
are the most successful a strong. evan
gelical. earnest sermon of thirty minutes.
pointed and emphasized by short. earnest
prayers. both preceding and following
and by hearty singing from the soul,
always has good effect.-Raleigh Chris
tian Advocate.
Keep Up Education.
Again we hear the complaint from
many quarters that the negro does not
keep up his education after he has left
the common or the advanced school and
goes out into the work of life. This
may be true, with some notifications

Mrs Thomas Mulkey, Of 239 Himrol

she was refused because She had FIVE
children, Al present Mrs. Mukey Is i'll

that they fear might come from having

Such state OF affairs is a very serious

Colorado's Disgrace.

The Executive Board Of the Western
Federation of Miners has. decided to ap-
peal to President Roosevelt to investi-
gate the strike situation In Colorado The
Secretary was Instructed to&send LETT
ter to the President declaring that 1T Is
his duty to Investigate the terrible crimes
that are being perpetrated in Colorado IN
the name of law and order" I'VE will
render every possible assistance to the
proper authorities In such investigation"
concludes the letter, ITO the end that the
people of the country may realize the
outrages that are being inflicted on in
nocent persons by those in temporary
official power" y
81 We do not know what the President
has to do with the affairs of Colorado,
but the situation needs to be investigated
by somebody who will get the facts and
make them public. 1t is charged that the
officers In command Of the troops are
the tools in the hands of the mine oper-
atnrs and have been used by them to
break up the unions. We know nothing
about the truthfulness Of these charges,
hut they have come from reputable
sources and they should be investigated,
The situation in Colorado is a disgrace
to civilization, and the blame ought to
BIO put where 1t belongs. The representa-
tives Of organized labor are vitality In
aterested.
Charges of tho most serious character
have also been brought against the mem
bers of labor unions, and II they are true.
labor organizations In all parts of the
country cannot afford to stand for them.
They must in their own interest denounce
riot and lawlessness and array them
selves on the side of law and order,
