ONO WHERE HONOR is DUE.

1t is comforting to know that not only
is the grave of Noah exactly located but
is visited each year by thousands of devout
pilgrims who climb 1000 feet up the beet
ling steps Of Jebel Judi. A sanctuary, set
up IN his honor upon the mountain, is a
place of fervent worship by them. A trav-
eler talking before the Royal Geographical
society describes the mountain held sacred
for ages, which looks out over the great
Mesopotamian plain, and tells how they
showed him the very vineyard whence
came the wine of which Noah drank not
wisely but too well.
Neither sacred nor p~rofane history has
ever done Justice to the many sided char
acter of this great man. Not only was
he a patriarch but he was a meteorologist
the first weather man" of the world
a successful shipbuilder, an able seaman
and navigator, and a faunal naturalist. His
building of the ark, ~unhampered by the
tariff and unaided by a subsidy, was a
tour de force deserving of the highest ad-
miration; his perspicuity as an observer of
the weather.; his wisdom of selecting his
fellow passengers; the skill with which he
steered his craft across the face Of the
uncharted waters and his persistence in
holding "her nozzle agin the bank until
all had landed safely, nave never, we be-
lieve, been properly appreciated by the
world at large.
1t is, therefore, pleasing to think that
there are those who still do him homage;
faithful ones who recognize SOME of his
many virtues, and who do not hold against
him too severely the episode of the grape.

COST OF LIVING.
Seeking the Cause of High Prices Ss
Commodities.


Chicago News.
AS the result of complaints from various
parts Of the country that the cost Of liv-
ing is made unduly burdensome on account
of the high prices of commodities. the
secretary of agriculture is planning for an
investigation of the causes OF the advance
in the prime of necessities.
1t Is well for many reasons that such
an investigation is to be undertaken
Various theories have been advanced In
explanation of the rise in the cost Of liv-
ing. One is that the supply OF gold has
increased SO greatly in recent years that
the prices Of commodities, which are
measured in terms of gold, show an ad-
vance on that account. II this is the true
explanation 1t is, of course, unjust to blame
the trusts or the protective tariff or some
other cause for the rise in prices. There
have been times in history, notably soon
after the discovery of the rich mines Of
the new world, in which the augmenta-
ton Of the stock Of the worlds supply Of
gold has exercised a distinct and disturb
ing influence upon the general level OF
prices.
But does such an explanation 1T the stu
alton at the present time? II not, what
are the determining factors, and are they
artificial or naturalH An injury that
would furnish at least a partial answer 70
these questions would be OF great public
value.

GIVING WEALTH AWAY.
A Lay Sermon on the Action of a
Preacher.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The story which is told of Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills of Plymouth church, Brook
Ign, concerning his reconciliation of large
potential wealth, is, If verified, a demon
~stration of his disinterestedness but hardly
a vindication of his social or ethical judg-
ment. According to the report, Mr.. Hills
found himself the owner Of a tract of land
in the far northwest, asserted by experts
to contain mineral wealth amounting to
several millions of dollars. Believing the
possession of so much riches to be in
compatible with his usefulness as a clergy
man he sold the LAND for little more than
it cost him.
1t takes but a moments reflection to see
That on this statement of the facts Mr..
Hills simply made a present of some mill
lions of dollars to the purchasers. Whether
they were spectators, promoters or actual
developers does not matter. On the record
as stated the clergyman rather than take
possession of the putative wealth gave IL
to persons not in particular need of it. We
can entirely concede good foundation for
unwillingness to take wealth on the part
OF a teacher of the religion which enioins
its followers not to lay up treasure OH
earth, but that doctrine is indissolubly
Joined with the instruction to the young
man who was very rich to Sell all thou
hast and give unto the poor"
Men with conscience enough to reject
great wealth both exemplify Christian doc
trine and recognize one of the great faults
Of humanity. But when such men, either
by their own inadvertence or by the mere
caprice of fortune, come into possession OF
the burden OF riches the duty Is rather
plain of devoting that wealth to the benefit
OF those who are in danger, not of too much
riches, but of too little to sustain life.

The discovery that the ~phraseology

ambiguous as to defeat the intent of
