Conversions in India.

1t is now ten years of persecution
and struggle since the effort was made
to convert the upper caste, the Brah-
mans Of Trichinopoly, to the faith.
The Hindus are divided into foI='
castles, the highest and most import
ant of which is the Brahman. For a
long time success was in grave doubt; ;
but now the number who have come
into the Church after a searching in
quiry gives promise Of what will be
accomplished.

sionaries. and especially the Jesuits
who are in charge of a college in that
city. She lamented the fact that sc
many of the young men were receiv-

TO a vast number religion is of no con-
Germ. The religion of those who remain
is deistic philosophy. 1ndifferentism
is its fundamental principle. Gods
right to impose religious obligations
on men is denied or ignored. Each
man is free to determine for himself
the extent of religious claims upon
him. The formulas of this faith are
vague platitudes about the father
hood of God and the brotherhood OF
man. Only natural virtues are re-
quired, and they are chiefly Of mega
tive character. The supernatural Is not
recognized and Jesus Christ is ignored.
And finally the God of which this phil
osophy pictures is a debonair divinity,
who views with equal conplacency ev-
cry religious theory which men are
pleased to entertain and every code of
morality by which men decide to regu-
late their actions.
The children of Christ live and move
among the devotees of this system, who
are men and women Of apparent natur-
al goodness and eminent respectability
before the world. They, therefore.
breathe an atmosphere that is infected
by the principles of this seductive phil
osophy, so we'll calculated to weaken
their faith in the supernatural and to
wean their hearts from the love Of their
crucified King. The ingenuity of Satan

empire will pray God to give us always
such leaders as He has given to us in
the past; men irnbued with the spirit
which animated the Apostles when they
proclaimed the sovereignty OF Jesus

RARE COPPER CENTS.
Coin Collectors Theory to Account Fer
Their Scarcity.

Coin Collectors Theory to Account Fer
Their Scarcity.
That some of the rarest and most
valuable of the United States cents,
particularly those dated 1893 and 1894.
owe their scarcity to the fact that Full
ton built the steamboat Clermont Is
the theory held by some coin collectors.
They believe that thousands of the old
time large copper cents went toward
making the copper boiler for the pi>-
neer steamboat.
This theory would explain the mys-
terry that has long puzzled coin collect
ors az to the reason for the almost to
tai disappearance of the cents of the
dates mentioned.
The first cents struck at the United
States mints at Philadelphia were of
large size. The copper blanks, or
planchets, were imported from Eng
land, being sent over in kegs.
Copper at this period was a scarce
article in this country. With the ex-
ception of the small quantity pro-
duced at the only copper mines then
known in-tlIe United States, those at
CRANKY, Conn, nearly all the metal
used here came from England.
Builders of steam engines in those
days were of the opinion that boilers
constructed of iron were unsafe and
impracticable, and as a consequence
boilers We're made of copper, all the
boilers that came from England being
| it is said, constructed Of that metal.
Fulton was likewise of the belief that
copper was the only fit metal to be
used in boilers.
1t is therefore possible that, finding
a scarcity of meta! with which to con.
struct the boiler of the Clermont, he
finally resorted to the most convenient
source of supply, which happened to
be the large United States copper
cents. OF course the cost of such a
boiler would represent large sum,
but it is on the records that the steam
frigate Fulton, launched in 1915, the
| year of the inventors death, had a
boiler entirely constructed of copper,
which alone cost the large sum of S23..
600.
That the supply of cents of this-pe-
Rod was large enough TO meet such a
demand is also likely enough. From
1893 to and including 1895 1,066.O33
cents were coined and in 1886 974,0Oo
were struck.

What Lunch Hour Means to New
York's Financial District.
When one descends upon Wall street,
either from the Broadway slope of
Trinity church or from, the Nassau
street hill, at noontime any week day
the air is fraught with many conflict
ing odors of the Kitchen From over
the roars of the clamoring curb folk
way down in the valley of Broad street
there arises from a score of cookeries
and Handouts" decided smell of the
stewpot blended with the ever glori-
Gus onion. From the caves of the New
York Stock Exchange come the more
pretentious fragrance of spiced meats
and strong coffee From the basement
and attic alike. from cloud ticker and
antiquated frame house as well, come
all sorts OF Tuning evidences that the
men of affairs are eating. To realize
what this luncheon hour means to
Wall street one must stop to think of
the thousands of persons who are in
that small district of the city at this
particular part of the day. Hundreds
of restaurants meet the rush with
their doors flung wide, and their keep
ers have grown rich upon nickels and
dimes that fan into their tilis like
mighty rataplan during those brief
hours of midday. Men have grown
rich and retired TO palatial mansions
in the suburbs selling cup custards and
'.sEnkers'. TO millionaires. stenogra-
piers, clerks and bankers alike during
the busy hour or two at noon. Thou
sands OF pounds of meat. countless
oysters and CLAIMS. barrels of gravy.
unaccountable gallons of coffee and

criticism of Americans for fast eating.
