MAGIC AND RELIGION.
Their Parting Due to the Advance Of
Civilization.

SlVIlIZOtlOns
In west Africa the belief in a new
birth without loss of identity is proved
by the fact that when a baby arrives
in a family it Is shown selection Of
small articles belonging to deceased
members, and the thing which the
child catches hold Of identifies him as
Uncle John" or Cousin Emma" and
so forth. So far as this belief prevails
1t is held by some that garments once
worn or other objects which have been
In intimate contact with Il human be-
ing are penetrated by his personality
and remain, as it were, united with
him for good or i'll.
In nearly all stages Of civilization
now to be found in the world what we
call supernatural beings were concern
ed with the initiation of the magician
The Schism between magic and reli-
ilizatiOn. When 1t occurred, as the
history Of heresy in Europe and the
witch trials teach, it was rather magic
in it's antisocial aspect than in ITSELF
which was reprObated and punished.
1t is strange in this connection to no
tice that the magician was only con-
demned when he departed from estab-
lished custom and established beliefs
which involved a severance from the
community and an imputatiOn Of anti
social ends. Practices essentially mag
ical might be Incorporated in religious
rites and exercised for what was be-
lieved to be the general good. In such
a case they have continued to be ex-
ercised with general assent in the high
est forms of religion.-London Hos

Mrs. Eddy knew not what the World

She knew, however, that she was

in glowing terms of the manner in
which she bore up through the ter

In some cases, therefore, the initials
and date of the first wedding have
been erased and those of the subse-

others the initials Of the second wife

Calls Tor Five Hundred Bales Of
The Jute
Has STATEMENT SHOWING CONDITIONS
DECLARES THE LAW RELATING
TO GRAIN BAGS is FAULTY
TO EXTREME,

Utilizing the small balance re-
manning in the revolving fund. the
state board of control has issued
calls for bids for furnishing 500 bales
of jute for the state penitentiary. The
amount called for will keep the jute
mill In operation two months, or un-
TIL the legislature meets and makes an
Appropriation from which the board of
control can purchase the full quota of
Jute needed to keep the mill in opera
ton full time.
! The board will receive bids on six
| different kinds and qualities of mate
| rial, including jute as used in the CAL
| 1fornia state prison. 1t is a much
wider range and the board expects
competition will be much keener
In reply to the statements, that ow-
ing to the failure of the board of con-
| troll to purchase sufficient quantity
| of jute to keep the mill working full
time, farmers of the Inland Empire
will sustain loss of from a half mil
lion to $750,00O, the board issued a
statement in reply to the criticisms,
which is as follows:
| Loss Not so Great.
! "The two years output of the jute-
mill for the period ended September
3d. 1906, was $2,532,2S5 bags. This
was for the period before short time
began at the mill. The state price for
bags this year is 61a cents. Assuming
| the market price in the event farmers
buy on the open market from dealers
at liz cents, the difference would be
5 cents a sack. The entire two years
output at the difference of cents
would make $126,614.25. In other words
| the saving to farmers from the two
years output is only that amount un-
der what they would have had to pay
in the outside market, and that sum
can not be figured to be 100000.
Objects to Law.
| I'm the opinion of the board of con-
troll, the law is faulty which provides
that January 1 each year, months af-
ter the bags are made or a demand eX-
| lists, the board shall fix the price at
which bags will be sold for the en-
| tire year. Thus the price of bags
| fixed last January is 6k cents, and
that price can not be changed until
next year. Jute has scared in pric,
since that price was made. The price
| of jute asked in bids rejected a few
weeks ago by the board was so high
that for the state t. pay the price
| would mean that every bag manu-
| .aC.ured fl ON that iu+e and sold At
| So cents would be sold - a dlroc'
| .css 10 the state. Jute has dropped
lately and may go lover. But it 's
sill. far higher than it was last
spring. The board may make
small purchase to keep the mill
going part time, but the chief reason
will be to provide employment for
the convicts and to avoid the enhanced
dangers of having nearly the entire
800 convicts idle at the prison.

Just before the opening Of the Kaffir
rebellion in South Africa, about the
middle of the last century, the sooth-
sayers babe the tribes kill their cattle
and destroy their crops of grain. The
spirits of their ancestors were to arise
and help them to exterminate every
white man in the country. The advice
was solemnly accepted When the day
of the great uprising arrived many Of
the rebels were already starving. But
there came no ghostly herds of cattle
out of the earth, no crops not sown
with hands. Grim, terrible famine
swept over the land, and in the months
which followed, although the authori-
ties did everything in their power to
mitigate its horrors, 10000 victims Of
false prophet starved to death.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Feb. lit is rarely that
prices ftuctuatc so widely and SO con-
stantly rs was the case in the dealings
on the Stock Exchange today. Half Il
dozen times or more during the dav the
current OF the market changed its course
Neither declines nor advances were long
pursued. Transactions were very large
| IN Il few active stocks but the constant
fuctnation unsettled speculative senti-
mcnt and discouraged attempts to read
the temper of the market. The general
list was comparatively duh in conse-
uucnct and simply moved in Svmpathv
with the wider movements in the active
speculative favoriteS. 1t was asserted
that some very large transactions on
either side Of the market in the promi-
nent active stocks were closed out within
a brief time.
The inference was drawn from these
evidences that floor traders We're making
up the market to a very large extent and
that the principal operations resulted i'm
the board room itself. The important
factors in the movement of the day were
made up almost altogether of rumOrs or
vague SuFpoSitionS, few Of which were
confirm. by the event or by any a,i-
thGritatvie announcement The coppers
opened both ON the Stock Exchange and
in the curi market with Il continuance
of the upward rush i'm force at the clos
ing last night. The abrupt reactions du.
to the heavy unloading which met these
advances dashed the speculative conf
dence. Reading was another active cen,
ter of speculation and moved as uncer-
talnly as the cOpperS.
The market control Of the stocks was
again asserted IN the buoyant rebound.
The circulation of report that n
greSsional resolution was in prospect for
information on the Union Pacific con-
troll of the Southern Pacific on the same
lines as the Pennsylvania Railway inquiry
was responsible largely for the early
heaviness in that group. The North
western Parifics were strong throughout.
The United States Steel stocks made good
resistance. although they were subjected
to heavy selling early with the rest of the
market. The steady absorption of them
led to their show Of strength in the late
dealings. In general however. the prin-
cipal strength Of the later market was
shown by the stocks which were under
pressure earlier. The decline ut first
seemed to be regarded as a point Of van
tage for the upward movement later
Money continued easy and foreign ex-
change yielded farther.
Ponds were steady. Total sales, par
value 1890 0OA. United States bonds were
all unchanged on call.
