Where Was lt-ln Mashonaland, South
 Arabia or India?
 One of the most interesting and im- portant questions concerning Biblical sites perpetually invites research and consistently eyades solution Where is the land of Ophirf" Dr. Karl Pc ters at a public meeting in Berlin de- clared emphatcally that this famous Biblical region is located between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. He told his German audience how he has dis covered many shafts of ancient gold mines, 500 temples, Notifications and other ruins of Phoenician origin. Dr. Peters afirms that coins unearthed in Mashonaland belong undoubtedly to the time of King Solomon. His opln- ion is that no other part of Africa could have exported the ivory, silver aud-preciouS stones which are record ed In the Bible as coming from Ophir.
 Against this theory. founded as it undoubtedly Is on very plausible eyl- dence, Bible students are still likely NO uldlulaAuf Ou Nut ASoNAlAOLS OA NSAAS' sis X, %, that Ophir was a section of South Arabia. Here down to the time of Ezekiel the Phoenicians still land ed to procure gold and gems with which those famous sailors and mer- chants of the ancient world traded in many countries distant from their Syri. an shores.
 Many erudite writers have attempt ed to Identify Sofala, on the east coast of Africa, with ophir, while yet oth- CTS have located 1t in India.

how the Southern Farmer May Double
His Dollars

We all must admit that our brother
farmer of the North is far advanced in
the use of improved machinery on the
farm. For instance, he rides when he
breaks his corn ground, he rides when
he harrows it, he rides when he plants
it, he rides when he plows it, and at
every round he plows two rows, and
lately he has commenced to plow four
rows to every round, and when cutting
time comes he rides to cut it. With
the different machines he plants and
cares for three or four times as many
acres as one man will in the South.
This is why he makes money on land
that costs him two or three times Is
much as the average farm land in the
South.
If the Southern farmer commences
to farm like his brother OF the North
with improved machines, and plants
cotton as surplus and stocks ms farm
with cattle. using the same energy and
push that the Northern fa~n,o, uses.

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
'~~O~N~~>N~>


There Is room for a school of inter-
national education. Let the youth of
the dark" countries, such as Russia.
be sent to the enlightened ones for a
time, and then let them return home to
use their knowledge. A writer in the
Independent illustrates this principle
under the caption, Liberty to Keep the
Laws"
Here is a place where you can't go,
anyway"
But l do not want to go there, so
am in no danger of The penalty"
The first speaker was a Russian lad,
who was surprised that the Capitol, the
White House, public buildings Of all
kinds in Washington, were open to the
world, without even the formality of
asking permission. The second speaker
was the American friend who was
showing him round the city, and the
forbidden spot which they at last had
reached was the grass in park, with
the sign, ''Trespass forbidden, under
penalty of the law"
"But your President can go there"
"Oh, no. was the reply. lie would
not want to walk there and spoil the
grass, and he would not break the law.
anyway"
WHAT" said the boy. "Does your
President have to obey the law" He
gasped in surprise at such a thought.
'By all MEANS" replied his cicerone
The President must obey the laws, of
course"
"He must?" cried the boy. THAT is
queer. Our Gar and grand dukes never
have to obey the law"
At the close of the day the lad was
taken into the Congressional Library.
where scores Of men were bending over
magazines under pleasant evening lights.
He caught the arm Of his friend as
though he saw a ghost "See! a SOL
der. soldier and he has no gun!
and he Is reading You could not see
