nerelonment Of the Divine

The highest aim is the develop
ment of the divine in man, Those
who have the keen sight of love may
detect its presence in every one. They
know that as the slime hides the lily
root and blossom as the hard rock
holds the precious ore, IS the acorn
encompasses the oak, so every hu-
man life contains the potentiality Of
the divine. They are not deceived by
the external slime and hardness and
meanness, but perceive and have
faith in the inherent and the ulti-
mate To be aware of the divinity
of the soul and Of every soul is to
know the sublimest truth disclosed
to the human mind.-Paragraph Pull

The diver at the seas bottom
lives still, though in a foreign ele-
ment, because his close-htting armor
with its air-tube reaching up above
the waves, keeps him surrounded
with another and finer element suited
to sustaining life; otherwise he
would be speedily suffocated by the
briny waters. And so the Christian,
immersed in the worlds choking wa
ters, can preserve his spiritual life
only by fencing them away from him
by "the armor of righteousness on
the right hand and on the lett" and
by keeping up constant communion
by faith with the heavenly world

AMERICAN GARDENS.
A Japanese Woman Thinks Them
Pretentious and Characteristics.

fretentlOuS ana Characteristic.
"We see in every human produc-
tion touch of individuality peculiar
to the worker, and so 1t is with
American gardens" says a Japanese
newcomer to this country. when
| first saw those smooth lawns, with
only some gorgeous flowerbeds and
well grown trees bordering them, l
believed that they were merely the
front grounds, as we call them in
Japan, and that there surely extended
behind the house gardens of more
individual taste and design. But as
time went on it became evident to
me that no such cultivated part ex-
listed in any back grounds, and that
simple, plain green was the only and
universal style of garden in America.
Now, as l pass along the country
roads looking at the gardens, all
much the same in appearance, the
striking display of national charac-
teristics appeals to my interest.
First of all, the exposure of a
private garden to the public enjoy
ment-cultivating 1t in front of the
house, along the street, with no high
barriers to seclude it-seems to re-
veal a spirit Of cooperation and
friendly open-heartedness. What a
boundless benefit it is for the public
to have the roadside thus frightened
and beautified with various flowers
and greens, which man adores by
nature! A wretched beggar may
enjoy the smile of spring as much as
the owner of a garden; poor tene-
ment house children may be as ia
miliar with nature as any favorites
OF fortune. Here continental mag
nanimity is exhibited, in decided con-
trast to our self-seeking seclusion,
natural to all islanders.
But / have slight discomfort in
this full decoration of front grounds,
for, besides its lack of artistic design,
| see in it-perhaps because of preju-
dice-the same motive displayed as
in making an array of dishes on din
ing room walls or In having all ones
beautiful pictures in sight at one
time, the exhibition of all ones
choicest possessions. which does not
accord with the Japanese idea of lik-
ing to use silk lining for cotton
| clothes
"On the whole, however, there are
greater advantages here than see
in Japan. And, moreover, only such
a form Of garden could keep har-
mony with these commanding Ameri-
can houses and their practical inhab-
itants. How incongruous 1t would be
II miniature rocky mountains, artifi-
cial ponds, with log bridges and
antique stone lanterns, were settled
upon these sunny, open grounds be-
fore enormous. colored buildings!
Nor would a fiowery American wo-
man prove to be fitting figure in
those quiet colored, shady scenes of a
Japanese garden.
1t is to be hoped for Japan that
the practical gardens OF America will
be more frequently adopted, and, on
the other hand, our imaginative gar
dens, together with our lowly
thatche cottages, may furnish some
pleasure ground suggestions to this
country"

Tinfoil, which is extensively used
for wrapping tobacco and other arti-
cles of commerce, is a combination
of lead with a thin coating of tin on
each side. 1t is manufactured in the
following way: First, a tin pipe is
made. This pipe is then filled with
molten lead and rolled or beaten to
the thinness required. In this pro-
cess the tin coating spreads simulta-

tinuously maintains thin. even coat

reflected into the eye of large lens

at the back of the retina, which have
hitherto been almost invisible, has

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Feb. S.-Carrying
out the wishes of the state department
that a couple of American naval Ves-
sells be kept in Central American
waters the navy department has dis
patched the gunboat Marietta to Grey
town on the gulf coast of Nicaragua
according to the cruiser Chicago. The
Yorktown, now at Mare island, is not
to go to Central America.
1t is said the purpose of sending
these ships to Central America is to
have a ship at the disposal of the
American ministers if they should find
it necessary to travel up and down the
coast in these countries where COM
munication by regular channels is linn
tied Also they will, of course, protect
any American property that may be
endangered
Consul William A. Alger at Teguci-
galpa, Honduras, communicated yes
tcrday to American Minister Combs in
Guatemala City that the opinion at
Tegucigalpa was that war between
Honduras and Nicaragua was almost
inevitable, The officials here, how
ever do not take any such pessimistic
view and believe the combined efforts
Of Mexico and America will convince
them that their differences can be set
tied without recourse to arms.
IL was admitted AT the state depart
ment today that correspondence had
been exchanged between the depart
ment and the Mexican government re-
garding the prevention of hostiities.
The Washington government regards
itself as bound under the treaty of San
Jose and the Marblehead pact TO offer
good offices to prevent war between
the Central American republic and as
the republic of Mexico is under sim
liar obligations the two are trying to
arrange d program whereby Mexico
would represent the wishes of the
United States, as we'll as her own
people
Attention is called to the fact that
Nicaragua was not party to the San
Jose treaty, taking the ground that
the settlement of disputes between the
Central American republics by a ref
erence to arbitration was also suffi-
ciently provided in the treaty OF Co
rinto, concluded several years ago. This
fact, however, does not i'm the opinion
of the officials here, relieve Honduras
and Salvador from responsibility TO
abide by the provisions OF the San Jose
treaty.
