The Law of Inheritance Prevailing
Among Mocha m m edans.
Under the law Of Inheritance pre-
vailing among the Mohammedans, the
property of Il deceased person is liza
bic to be divided among a numerous
body Of heirs. An unqualified applica-
ton Of this rule would mean the abso-
lutte pauperization, within short space
of time, says the Nineteenth Century
Magazine, Of MOhammedan families
and prove utterly subverslve Of ma
tional and individual well-being. No
permanent benefaction nor the cOntin-

prestige. without which progress is out
Of the question, would be possible. Ac
cordingly 1t was ordained by the law
giver of Islam that Mohammedan
may lawfully ''tie up" his property
and render 1t inalienable and non-in-
heritable by devotlng it to pious pur
poses. or to use the language of Mo-
hammedan lawyers, "by defeating it
to the service of God, so that it may
be of benefit to mankind" This is the

Priceless Diamond by Mail.

Everybody likes a diamond story,
and the history of the famous Guilt
name diamond Is going the rounds.
Some months ago the world was as
founded by the finding of this stone,
and 1t has convinced experts that the
South African mines have yet in store

in pounds troy and not in carats.
1t Ia not general known how this
stone was sent to England Just as
the mail for Europe was being closed
at the Johannesburg postoffice an or
binary looking packet, addressed to n
firm in Hatton Gardens. London, was
handed in at the window to be regis
tered. 1t weighed little over a
pound. SO the charge Of a penny half
ounce and twO-pence extra for regis
tration was paid. and the packet was
stamped, sealed and thrown into the
bag along with other registered par
cells for the mail boat. Nobody knew,

SPENDING RESOURCES
AT TOO GREAT A RATE

st. Paul, Jan. III. J. Hill, in a
speech before the St. Paul CONNER
cial Club, made some pungent obser-
vations regarding the commercial con-
dition of the nation.
"The nation at large" he said, ''is
prosperous. We are cutting wide
swath; there is no doubt of that. If
we get down, however. to closer ex-
animation we will readily see that the
nation is living profligately.
"We are selling out natural resour-
ces, exploiting them as fast as we can,
without building up Industries and
trade relations which will take their
places when once exhausted. A short
time ago we carried from 10000 to
40, 600 tons of American wheat to the
Oriental people. We don't do that
any more.
eff we keep on treating these ORR
entail people in the way we have been
doing we will not be selling them any
thing. They are not compelled to
buy from us. There was time when
Great Britain took three-quarters of
all tuc w uchU Ill tuIS COuhtt
for export. This is not the case now,
for within five years they will be able
to get all the wheat they need from
their own colony in the great Cana
dian Northwest. They will be able
to buy Independent of us.
"In this connection remember that
we will within ten or fifteen years
need all our wheat for home consump-
ton. Each year it takes from 1900.
900 to $4,000, 900 more bushels to feed
the increasing population. What then
will the nation fall back on? The man
who eats the bread made from that
wheat must do something. Who will
buy what he makes? If you can, have
your representatives see to it that the
trade relations between this country
and Canada are bettered."

there goes Mr.. Crocker's horse and
sleigh down the hill, and there's no

Perhaps he could stop the horse and
drive him back to Mr.. Crocker's store.
Wouldn't that be fine? Maybe he'd

Bump, bump, went the sleigh and

Now the sled is almost up to the

bottom of the hill has been reached
and the sled begins to slow up. and
Prince Charlie doesn't begin to slow

SO Harry jumped off the sled and
ran as fast as his little legs could
carry him after the team.

MAJORITY.

Placed on Sugar and TobaCC0-rree
Trade Alter 1909,

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Philip
pine traiff bill was passed by the house
yesterday afternoon, substantially as
it came from the ways and means com
mittee. The vote stood 25S to ~.
Rice was made subject to the same
tariff as sugar and tobacco-25 per
cent of the Dingley rates-and one or
two changes were made as to the Ian
guage.
Republican opposition to the bill in
the interest of American beet and cane
sugar and tobacco tried out its strength
early and gave up. The opposition re-
fused to affiliate with Democratic
efforts, the strongest plea for 'insur-
GENT support being made in behalf
of Champ Clark's amendment reduc-
ing the differential on refined sugar.
The minority sought to duplicate
the house record made OH the Cuban
reciprocity act, but failed.
Democratic Substitute Defeated.
The Democratic substitute met with
only the support Of the minority and
went down under vote of 23l to 1O6.
Oh the maj passage the insurgents
demanded a roll call, that the record
might be preserved.
The bill admits goods the growth of
products Of the Philippines into the
United States free of duty, except
sugar, tobacco and rice, on which a
tariff Of 20 per cent of the Dingley
tariff rates is levied. 1t provides that
after April, 1909, there shall be abso-
lutte free trade each way between the
United States and the Philippines. 1t
also exempts Philippine goods coming
to the United States from the export
duty of those islands. Merchandise
from either country is subjected to the
internal revenue tax of the country in
which merchandise is withdrawn for
consumption.
