A fire believed to be of jncendiary
origin DESTROYED the old DIR. Emerson
mansion in Mills. Mass, early Mon
day. causing a loss that will exceed
$4,000. The house, which was erected
about Ii years ago at a cost of nearly
SIT, 900, was owned by r. w. Mann OF
Mills. a Boston broker. No one occu-
pied the residence, recently, because
of litigation in the courts, and the
value of the property decreased con-
siderabiy. When the fire was discov-
cred 1t was beyond the control of the
firemen. This is the second fire that
has occurred on the estate. three large
barns having been destroyed, two
years ago.

the attack.
Today, Japan could take Guam as

tie more difficulty in seizing the

made formidably defensive. Its
strength and utility are inseparable
from the cooperation of a fleet. On
the other hand, to our vessels ma

would be of the greatest value
in breaking the long journey from
Hawaii, or Samoa, to Manila. The
distance from Honolulu to Guam Is

American explained that there had
been no salute, that his guns were
fired in menace, that as an incident
in the war between the United States
and Spain he had come to demand
the surrender of Guam.
The poor governor was speechless
with amazement, War-he had heard
70 whisper Of it. AS to surrender
he thought of the sixteen 1nen who
composed his garrison, and of the
one piece Of artfllery-with the pig
cons in it. The blood of the CASTLE
urged him to strike blow for the
honor of his country, but common
sense proclaimed that resistance
would be madness.
So Guam fell into our hands, and
the treaty Of Paris confirmed us in
the possession of it. We stipulated
for it's retention because we recog-
nized its stragetic value. Spain had
never made any use of the Island ex-
cept to transport convicts there from
the PHILIPPINES. But that was stop
ped after an enterprising gang of
criminals practically took possession
of Guam and held full sway until a
war vessel came from Manila and
took them back.

Small as 1t is, hardly more than
two per cent of the Islands area has
been placed under civilization and
habitation is limited to few patch
cs along the coast. There are some
what fewer than 10000 inhabitants,
distributed among about a dozen
centres, of which but one boasts a
incubation in excess of 500. This
one is Agana, where more than half
of the people of the Island live.
Agana has been the capital since
time immemorial. When Magellanes
reached Guam, on his memorable
voyage around the world, the seat
of the CaciqVe of Guam was at
Agana and It always has been the

st. Paul brings this matter to our
attention very explicitly in his letter
to the Romans. III :25-32.) The logic
of his argument should be carefully
noted, including the fact that Natural
Israel will receive mercy at the hands
of Spiritual Israel--in the Kingdom.
The nation Of Israel transgressed
Divine commands, and was therefore
worthy of punishment-but this did
not signify that the nation would be-
come allenated from the Divine mercy
which God had already intended and
promised through Abraham.

the life and Immortality which God

The periodical hurricanes sweeps
the Island, they are reduced to the
ve1.ge Of stars alton. Their main oe-
pendence is IN the crops which hey
raise on little plantations, a few
from the town, where they take up
their abode in the harvest season.
Rice, maize, tomatoes, and garden
truck are cultivated most extensively
and a little tobacco Of passable
quality is grown. The greatest area
is devoted to cocoanuts, which are
indigenous to the soil and require
little care. The cocoa tree furnish es
the native with the greatest variety
of necessities. From 1t he derives
meat, drink, wine vinegar, me-
lasses, Lard, shoes, clothing; in
shades his other crops; it fattens his
chickens and hogs; it yields the
thatch, the woodwork and the crude
furniture of his house; from its sap
he takes the yeast for his bread; its
fibre be fashions into cord and mat
ting.
But the most important produc,
procured from the tree Is copra,
which is the dried meat of the CO.
coanut The tree Is more prolific IN
Guam than in any other part Of the
world, with the exception Of the
Caroline Islands. The crudest meth
DDS are practised by the Guamese In
preparing copra. The cocoanuts
ripen all the year round and each
morning the rancher and his sons
make the rounds Of the grove, pick
ing up the cocos which have fallen
during the night. These are piled
up beside the ranch hut until suf-
f,cient quantity to work upon has
been accumulated. In the process
of extraction, one man, with his
machete splits nut open and hands
the pieces to another who is seated
