CHURCH DEBTS.

One of the lessons tne orthodox

prayers" an eXtraneous Importance.
debt for buildings. The church debt is
frowned upon in the Scientist scheme,
while it appears to form an integral
part of the economy Of some ortno-
dox denominations.
Church buildings are usually con-
structed upon promises to pay which
are extracted from members and
friends of the society under stress of
great excitement. They are, therefore,
subject to more than ordinary dis
count. Having secured the subscrip-
ton, it is quite customary for the So
ciety to make plans for building to
cost more than the face value of the
subscription. The result is a church

UNIQUE AZTALAN.
The Only Brick Walled Town Site
Found In This Country.

the Only Brick Walled Town Site
Found In This Country.
In many respects Aztalan, in Wiscon-
sin, is among the most remarkable pre-
historic monuments in the northwest.
1t is the only brick walled town site
found in this country. 1t Is on the bot
tom land Of the Crayfish river, about
two miles from Lake Mills. The inclos-
ing walls Of the town site are about
700 feet on its TANKS and about 1900
feet long. The river served to COM
plete the Enclosure Of seventeen acres
Of land.
Within and without the Enclosure
there are round, truncated and oblong
mounds. JUST beyond the inclosing
walls the land rises abruptly over
twenty feet to the rolling table lands
Of the surrounding country. From the
bank above stone could be tossed in
to the town site within the Enclosure,
which would seem to be good reason
why this Enclosure, which has been
called a fort, could not have been in
tended for a defense against any hu-
man enemy.
Along the brow of the higher land
is row Of more than thirteen round
pyramidal mounds ranging from three
to twelve feet in height. From the top
of these mounds or standing on the
table land an enemy could command
the whole town site. 1t has always
been conceded that Aztalan was not
inclOsed for purposes of defense. 1t
has been supposed that it was walled
for protection from wild animals,
though the Enclosure has never been
high or abrupt enough since its dis
covery to keep out the panther wild
cat wolf, bear. moose and buffalo, which
were the only dangerous animals Of
the woods hereabOut.
The purpose of its inhabitants in
constructing this Enclosure over half
mile long still remains mystery. The
most remarkable art Of Aztalan is its
brick walls and walks. In this it is
singular and alone, the only example
Of bricklaying among all the monu-
ments Of the mound builders. These
bricks or bricklets are not rectangu-
lar and regular in form and size, as are
the modern brick. They are simply
balls Of plastic clay welded by the
hand into small bricklets Of irregular
form about the average size Of snow
ball The material used was the
glacial yellowish red clay Of the VI
cinity. and the color Of the bricks is
red or light yellow. Under the glass
scrapings appear like a handful Of

THE RUSSIAN VIEWPOINT.

Princess Frances Cantacuzene, the
widow of a Russian nobleman, has
been Interviewed in New York on the
peace conference, and says: 'Ameri-
cans cannot understand the Russian
viewpoint. They cry out against serfs'
bur l, who own serfs, know there is no
other arrangements possible. The peas
ants are untitled to take any part in
the management of the country" Re-
garding the Kishinef massacre, the
princess again expressed her polite re-
gret that the Americans could not get
at the Russian viewpoint. 1T is the
Russian spirit to fire first and adjust
differences later. In strike times
even the American soldiers fire on
mobs."
The princess will soon sail for Rus
STA to remain several years. She
ought to be a useful member of Rus
sian society," She seems to have the
Russian viewpoint very pat. The re-
markable thing about this interview
is that the woman who gave it was

a feat which is accomplished by a Sc
ries of planes and lift-locks. One in
cline raises the boat one hundred feet
while traversing a distance sixteen
hundred feet in length. The longest
level in a distance of one hundred anG
two miles is seventeen miles, while
to raise the boat to the top of the

and to let it down on the other side,
eleven inclined planes and seven lift
locks aIe needed. Some of the boats
used on this canal are used in Sec
tons, thereby avoiding danger of a
broken back as they meet the slight
angles at the top or bottom of an
incline. They are fastened together
readily by large clasps on sides and
bottom. AS they never experience
rough water the method is secure and
satisfactory.

HOW SHIPS GO UPSTAIRS.

Whether ships shall go up and
down stairs when passing through
the Panama canal is one of the ques-
tions which the government has to de-
eide. Without entering into any con-
troversy as to the advantages of a
level sea route, or arguing for OF
against the ACCESSIBILITY of a series
of locks, it may be interesting to
consider how ships go upstairs else
where
Like many other discoveries Of i'm
portance great doubt exists as to
the person, or even the nation &c
whom the world is indebted for the
first canal lock. 1t is claimed by both
Holland and Italy. To a country like
Holland, whose canals form it's COM
nerCial highways, it is natural that
we should look for some means by
which the levels could be changed.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CON
SUMER.

A we'll informed Washington cor
respondent who has recently spent
considerable time and mas Travelled
extensively in Canada, writes advised
ly on the prospect of the adoption by
Canada of a system of high protec-
ton, the highest side being placed to-
ward the United States. He brings out
how and why this is likely to come
about, and adds a tariff barrier cal
culated to cut off an export trade of
s175,OOO,OOO annually to the threats
now being made against American
trade in Europe.
The answer which the nigh protec-
zionist makes to these apprehensions
with regard to discrimination against
American trade abroad is that our
foreign trade, in manufactured goods
at least, is constantly and ropidly in
creasing and is bigger now than ever
before. Your high protectionist points
to the magnificent totals of exports
in manufactures during the past fiscal
year and refuses to listen to any
suggestion thar our export trade
rise of a feeling of retaliation backed
by prohibitory tariffs enacted be-
g ;,,,
portant foreign markets.
Nevertheless the time is soon COM
ing when the policy of the nigh pro-
tectionist, shaped and directed as it
always has been upon the theory that
the home consumer will bear any bur-
den which may be laid upon him must
be changed. The home consumer mas
patiently borne the burden of nigh
prices in order that the home pro-
Queer might be guaranteed his home
market on the one hand and on the
other has rejoiced in the ability of the
home MANUFACTURER to gain a foothold
in the foreign market. But when the
home consumer begins to realize as
he does already to some extent, that
the export trade is largely supported
at the expense of the home consumer,
who is compelled, in order to maintain
the prosperity of the manufa
industry, to pay a price higher than is
charged for the same articles abroad,
he will cease to bear this burden with
patience. He will call for a square
deal"; and the manufacturer will no
longer be able to make up in over
charges al home for his low price
abroad. 1t is this necessity Of dealing
fairly with the home consumer that is
going to compel the high protectionist
in the near future to take an active in
terest in tariff reform as the best
means for protection Of his foreign
trade through means Of reasonable re-
ciprCcity trade relations.

with scant courtesy, no matter what
their rank. When he was making his
picture of the Konigsberg coronation
the Empress Augusta came to the con-
clusion that the women in it had not
been sufficiently considered, SO she sent
Field Marshal Wrangel to tell him so.
The artist took the criticism very ill
and bluntly told the marshal that he
had better mind his military affairs
and leave art to artists. After viO

pect to give your children a musical
education, a piano is an absolute me-
cessity, whether you buy it of us Or
elsewhere. If you are going to buy a
piano, a low price is an essential thing

MAKES COLLEGE OARS.
Ted Shea of Springfield, Mass,
Boon to Racing Oarsmen.

Ted Shea of Springfield, Mass, has
turned out the oars for the Yale crews
for many seasons, and this year he
made oars for Harvard too.
Shea first visits the lumber districts,
where, after long search, he secures
the proper wooden blocks. These he
puts away for years seasoning. Then
he begins to work with knife and
plane, keeping in mind the hundred and
one things which are necessary to the
perfect oar. When the oar is finished,
it must be twelve feet two inches long,
and before it is rugged with leather for
the rOwlOck must weigh seven and one
to the end with the most scientific
accuracy, half dozen different cali
pers being necessary to determine just
the exact tapering.
Every oar which Shea turns out for
Harvard and Yale is the work of his
sible for one if another person is al
lowed to touch it. He can charge what
he pleases, for athletic managers are
willing to pay almost any price so long
as the oar is right.
A natural mechanical ability caused
Shea to take up the business of max
ing oars. His father was an old oar
maker in Springfield, and he himself
always lived near the Connecticut
river until he went to New York.
where he worked in factory. When
he was free from work in the after
noon, he used to go to neighboring
boat shop to watch the carpenters, and
finally he returned home resolved to
make oars.
He began in his fathers shop to fill
orders for the canoe club Of the place
He improved paddles until they at
tracted widespread attention.
He graduated from paddles to oars,
and finally his work came to the no
tice Of q Yale coach. He received an
order for oars for the varsity crew
This established him at once as o
maker of prominence.
