There are still good people in the
Church, even today. Not all give
their money to keep up "our estab-
IsAment" and to make a noise and
parade. There are few rich Chris
tians in the Church and they do not
mind giving some money, occasional
ly, ito the Lord, in an independent,
Spirit-prOmpted way. I'd like some
such person TO see that territory and
that church. It's mute appeal would
be effective. A lily in mud pond,
a spire from prison wall, music
surmounting misery, this temple is
capable Of bringing to a sweet, sane
saintliness, people afflicted with de-
ranged zeal. Then some devoted
man, or woman, would be called"
to spend his days and nights there,
visiting, teaching, advising, lovingly
serving in every way, that flock. This
pastor would find many of the sheep
in the clutches of wolves, many a
lamb stuck in the brambles, or freez-
ing on desolate mountain side.
Such missionary would have a hard
time. Seeking lost neighbors, and
suffering for them, is an old-time
method-one's stimulus, love; his
home, a cabin; his orders, our Bible
his reward, Gods approval Not
much glory, little pay, no advertise
ment.
It's an opportunity, and The Jeff
can help if you want to find your way
to it.

The Importation of wool into the
United States has steadily increased,
the annual average during the 5
years ending with 1910 having been
212 million pounds; in the 5 years
ending with 1905, 174 million
pounds; in the S years ending with
1885, 50 million pounds, the average
annual imports of wool in the y
year period 1906-1910 thus being
three times as much as in the 5-year
period 1876.
OF the clothing wool imported over
one-third is stated as from the United
Kingdom; little less than one-third
from Argentina; and about one
fourth from Australia and Tasam-
mia. Of the combing wool imported,
over half is credited as coming from
the United Kingdom; about one
fourth from South America, and the
remainder about equally divided be-
tween Canada and *'all other coun-
tries. Carpet woods are chiefly
from the Chinese Empire, about SO

Is per cent; Russia, a per cent, and
other European countries IL per

ITHE tention in Congress and thus
throughout the country dur

ways an important factor in the for
eign trade Of the United States. AS
far back as 1850 imports of wool, &C
cording to the official reports of the
Bureau Of Statistics, Department OF
Commerce and Labor, amounted to
81 million pounds valued at ST.
681, 691; in 1851, 321a million

in 1910 264 million pounds valued
at 81 million dollars, and in 1911

valued at 27 million dollars.
The quantity of wool imported into

years fas 1928 million pounds valued

the same period, % cents per pound,
though it is proper to add that the
stated valuation Of the imported
woods is the current, wholesale price

Of the 1882 million pounds Of wool
imported in the last 10 years, 40 mill

sPAIN's NATIONAL ANTHEM.
ia Marcia R:sus" Wa. Composed by
Fredefiok The Gvest.

Frederick the Great was the conf
poser Of the Spanish national anthem.
Fredericks ambitions were varied. He
performed on the flute. he desired to
be thought poet. He quoted Latin,
but his quotations would have made
Cicero stare and gasp. During that
remarkable friendship which existed
between him and Yoltaire the author
of the "Henriade" exclaimed with de-
rision, "See the dirty linen I have to
wash" holding up Frederick's manu-
script. which had been sent him to re-
wise. In the field the great warrior
carried about his own poems in his
pocket and bottle Of poison, 30 that
he should not be taken alive. Menzel's
picture depicts the king with his flute,
and Bach dedicated to him one Of his
compositions.
The story of the composition of the
Spanish national anthem is full of in
tcrest. A little while after the conclu-
sion of the Seven Years wer Frederick

every one produced a march, which he
had composed. The Spanish ambassa-
dor, both a musician and courtier,
asked for a copy to send to his royal
MASTER Charles III. That monarch
admired, the piece, and it was often
heard at the Escurial. After a time it
was laid aside and almost forgotten.
In 1869, after the deposition of Isabel
la, Marshal Serrano instituted COM
petition among composers for nation
al anthem. Some 500 compositions
were sent in, but none of them was SO
inspiring as Frederick's march, which
had been exhumed from the archives.
This was chosen and is today known
as LA Marcia Rehabilitation Globe.

A Quicker Process.

A story Is told Of a certain famous
inventor who is fortunate enough to
be able to employ large staff of en-
gineers and mathematicians to aid him
in the solution of knotty problems.
Some time ago the inventor desired to
find the cubic capacity of a certain ves-
sci of unsymmetricaLp proportions and
asked his mathematicians to solve the
problem. AS the story goes, the mathe-
maticians spent weeks Of time, filed
whole books with thein calculations
and finally presented what they said
was close approximation to the true
result Thereupon the famous inven-
tor placed the vessel on platform

obtained its weight when full and
when empty. and in a few minutes he
had a result as good as the mathe-

five years after the founding of James

Somers islands, now known as the Ber-

quarter of a century after this, how
ever tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency. &.
In 1645 the assembly Of Virginia
met and declared that 1t had mature

vantageous a Quoine (coin) would be
to this colony and how much better
it would be than a sole dependency
upon tobacco and pelts." After this
they provided for the coinage Of cop

pence, threepence, sixpence and nine

carried into effect.
