Ancient Indian Miners,

The copper mines in the Lake SUI
psrlor region were most important to
the Indians. When we remember that
they did not unders tand the smelling
of ores we can appreciate the value Of
these mines. In them the native metal
occurs both in small places and great
masses. The Indians had only to dig
away the earth and smash the rocks
with stones some of which they pro-
vided with groove and attached to a
handle BY means OF a withe around the
groove.
ArchaelC2!sts have found that they
also built fires upon the rocks and thus
cracked them that they might more
ca silly be smashed with hammers. One
piece Of copper propped upon poles over
fifteen feet below the surface Of the
ground was found by explorers where
it had been abandoned by the Indian
quarrymen. Weighing almost three
tons, 1t was a monument to the indus
try of the North American Indians, who
have too often been considered lazy
and VINO. We must remember had only
the simplest tools with which to raise

Tho First Postal Stamp.

An event Of great interest to philatel-
lists has just been celebrated in Lon
don-namely, the SEVENTEEN anniver-
sary Of the day when tho worlds first
adhesive postage stamp was used. 1t
was III 1871 that Sir Rowland Hills
great system of postal reform came in
to force and made possible the use of
the adhesive postage stamps, which he
had recommended three years previ-
ously The first adhesive postage
stamp struck was what is known as the
penny black, bearing the head Of Queen
Victoria. Unused specimens of this
stamp are now worth from G l upward.
There is no complete sheet Of these
stamps in eXis tence, except, possibly, at
Somerset House. It is known, however,
that ore collector has block of nine
teen stamps. which were sold at auc-
zion about ten years ago for G 119. This
block would now be worth something
like $500. its value being considerably
enhanced by it's rarity. q block of four

blacks are worth from Is upward per

to fill up q few more rural churches
were built but at this time towns be-
gan to spring up everywhere and the
town residents built churches too.
From the very nature Of things the
town church prospered and the rural
church languished just as the town
merchant increa sed his trade and the
crossroads store declined. Location,
transportation facilities and density of
population are features that affect re-
ligious as well as commercial activi-
ties.
The country dweller of today is liv
ing in a period midway between the
old and the new. His social opportuni-
Improvement. That IS one reason why
roads are being improved, swift NOV
ing vehicles invented and hours OF
farm labor lessened. When the proper
will be nothing for the rural church
committee to do and the time when it
Will have arrived is so evidently near
at hand that it would hardly be the
part of wisdom to organize rural
church societies and build churches
which within very short time Of
their erection are likely to be found
standing anonymously among the
barns and gararies Of some neighbour
ing farmer
The thing TO do Is to forget the rural
church of the past generation and turn
toward the town OF a Sunday morn
ing. The modern church needs men,
bership which no rural community can
alone provide. 1t IS possible only IN
the towns and yet the population Of
the towns needs the additional
of the country. While the
gray heads may persist in the seclus-
ion of the farm wrapped in reninis
cences of the little church in the
grove the present general ton should
lake TO the automobile or the car
rage and attend services in town.

THE RURAL CHURCH HAS PASSED.

Some time ago an organization hav
ing for its object the betterment Of
rural life in general. appointed COM
mittee to Investigate the rural church
as the preliminary Of a later attempt
to reinstate the rural preacher. Those
who are heading the movement assert
that very large proportion Of the pull
pit recruits come from the rural dis
tricts while rural church facilities are
almost minus quantity and reason
from this that one Of the country's
needs is a regeneration Of the rural
church as an institution
It is very doubtful If anything in the
committees report or any action re-
sulting therefrom will ever effect the
return Of the rural church to it's old
time standing and usefulness. because
1t is thing that belonged to pioneer
days. There is perhaps in Iowa not
a single natural grove Of any consider
empty church buildings or abandoned
church sites. The earliest settlers Of
this country naturally selected loca-
tions in woods, along the streams. With
few good roads and no near towns the
people yet desired church privileges
and to obtain them they built their
rural churches.
