rhe Touchstone of EthIos.

The surest touchstone (of beliefs) is the ethical standard which, through inheritance, education and the expe- rience of daily life has, as a matter of fact, become our standard. It is not for our happiness to believe any proposition about the nature of man, the universe, or God. which is really at war with our fundamental instincts of honor and justice, or with our ideals of gentleness and love, no mat ter how those instincts and ideals have been implanted or arrived at. The man or woman who hopes to at- tain reflective happiness, as he works his strenuous way through the world, must bring all beliefs, old and new, to this critical test, and must reject or refuse to entertain, beliefs which do not stand the est-President Eliot of Harvard, in his Essay on "rhe Hap py Life"

LIVING GOLD OF WHEAT FIELD.
Sensations of a Ride Through the
 Miles of Moving Grain.

Take look at the wheat field that has been brought up to perfection, as it stands. Yellow as gold, with the sheen of the sea, billowing from skyline to sky line like an ocean of gold, where the wind touches the rippling wave-crests with the tread of invisible feet. In California, in Oregon, in Washington, in Dakota, In the Canadian northwest, you may ride all day on horseback through the wheat fields without a break in the flow of yellow heavy headed grain No shade trees. No knobs and knolls and hills and hollows of grass or black earth through. From dawn till dark, from sunrise in burst of fiery splendor over the prairie hori- zon to sundown when the crimson thing hangs like huge shield of blood in the haze of a heat twilight you may ride with naught to break the view between you and the horizon but wheat-wheat. It is like the gold fields. It goes to your head. You grow dizzy looking at 1t. You rub your eyes. Is it a mirage? The bil- lowing yellow waves seem to be breast ing the very sky You look up. The sky Is there all right with the black mote of a meadow lark sailing the azure sea. He drops liquid notes of sheer music down on your head. does that meadow lark; and that gives you back your perspective. your sense of amazing reality. You are literally, ab solutely, really, in the midst of sea of living gold It is you and not the lark that is the mote You begin to feel as if your special mote might be a beam that would get lost in infinity if you stayed there long; and as you ride on--and on-and some more on and by and by come out of the leaguelong, fenceless fields with an odor in your nostrils that isn't exactly like incense-it's too fugitive, too fine too sublimal of earth It is aromatic, sort of altar of roses, the imprisoned fragrance of the billions upon billions of wheat flowers shut up in the glumes of the heavy-headed grain here. And that's the odor of the wheat.-Minne- apolis Journal

Counting by Machinery.

A Swedish inventor has designed an apparatus for counting money and sorting the pieces into specified quan- titles. In the first place, money of various denominations is put into the machine and separated according tc value, these being sent into various tubes. When in the tubes the coins can be taken out in lots of 10, 20, 50 or 100 pieces, at the will of the operator. The apparatus is capable of separat. ing, counting and dividing into the lots before mentioned 72,0oO pieces in al hour. One machine under one opera tor is able to accomplish in one day as much counting as could be done by 50 most experienced bank cashiers Dundee Advertiser.

MumnIes from Mexican Ruins.

"Mummified remains of beings who existed hundreds of years ago have been dug up during the work of ex- cavating that has been going on in the old catacombs of Guanajuato, Mexico, said Dr. s. Burg of Baltimore. The people whose bodies were discovered must have lived long before the set clement of the republic, and the finds have occasioned much interest among scientific men. Some of the bodies were decked with beads and ivory trinkets that were in vogue before the coming of the Spaniards, so that these people must have lived in that part of the country centuries ago. The mummies were discovered under an old cemetery while the excavations were being made by some prospecting miners.

An alarm was sent in from box 26, corner Chester and Granite streets, at 430 Friday afternoon for fire in the engine house adjoining the black smith shop of the New England gran ties works on Quarry hill. Although the fire was not within the limits of the present fire district, the depart ment made response and stretched a line of hose to the fire, which was a lcng distance from the nearest hy- drant. When the firemen arrived the engine house was totally destroyed and the flames had spread to the black smith shop, the section nearest the engine house being completely burned but the fire was not permitted to spread farther.
 Soon after the fire started one of the connecting pipes of the boiler burst and allowed the steam to es- cape, preventing possible explosion of the boiler The escaping steam had the effect of keeping the spectators at quite a distance and gave the firemen opportunity to combat the flames.
 The exact cause of the fire is not known, as the plant had been shut down for the day about twenty min utes when the Building was in flames The loss is estimated at s4,000.
 The section where the fire occurred lies within the enlarged fire district and at an early date hydrants will be placed therein, and arrangements made to give all possible fire protec- tion.

Because of lack of funds Rhode ls- land will not be represented at the fifth annual tournament of the New England Military Rifle association at Wakefield, Mass, June 26 to 31, in- elusive. All the other New England states will have teams on the range.
 Adjutant General Sackett, who is the honor(ary range officer represent ing Rhode Island, states that no team would be sent from this state this year for the reason that no financial pro- vision had been made for the pur- pose. Several hundred dollars would be necessary to- maintain a team at the range for the week.
 New features are to be introduced and added interest to the competition by the participation of the United States naval academy and United States army teams, both going to Wakefield to practice for the national matches to be held at Camp Perry in August. A special prize has been ar ranged in connection with the inter- state match, the two service teams being entered.

| AS one among many of the churches
and societies that tend 10 make Og-
den better city, let us look into the
evils Of today and see which is the
greater evil. which is the one that
| drags the human down the lowest.
| First, we nave the theater, the dance
| hall, the saloon and the gambling
| joints; next. moving picture shows,
| horse-races and Sunday ball games,
| with petty other evils to fll in be-
| tween. The theater is harmless In IT.

but most cheap shows only tend 10 set
bad examples for the theater goer.
We all know too well the vice Of the
saloon. The many homes IL has de-
stroyed and the men and boys 1t has
sent to destruction. Ask the saloon
keeper II the poor drunkard that lops
at his bar was his son, his brother or
father would he hesitate when he kicks
him from the door after he as taken
the last cent from his pockets, that
last cent that should buy a loaf of
bread or a pair of shoes for his needy
family. Would he gloat over his
spolls If the beggar that asks him for
one last dring was his son? Has he
no conscience or thought of the judg-
ment day? How VIII he meet his
God. Oh, that some reformation may
take place that he may dump all his
rum IN the street some night and be

saloon comes the gambling joint
Many good man cannot overcome
the fascination Of taking that golden
chance of doubling his money at the

the sweat of his brow. Oh, man, do
You ever double? Do YOU ever come
out ahead 2 Sometimes: yes, some.
times, but that is seldom and that is
only used as bait to get another
chance at your Eard earned coin.
Wake up from your folly sleep; shake
yourself of this hypnotic influence and
put on the armor OF faith; pass them
up. You are not the one to suffer
alone. Think Of that anxious
