Moses had his mind on things when
ne wrote the Second and Tenth Com
mandments In another place il is
distinctly stated that "a mans life
consists not in the abundance OF
things which he possesseth."
Ii is evident that things" haven't
much standing in the Bible Some
times il seems as If the Bible hadn't
sucl a very great influence after all.
But possibly IL is just patient book
and can wait
When fhoreau was keeping house
bv himself in the woods near Walden
pond. he wrote in his diary: To-day I
threw out OF the window some speci-
mems of sandstone lying on my desk
They required busting. What right
have to spend my time busting
things when the furniture of my mind
remains all undusted?"
Things TO wear. and things 10 eat!
Things 70 put away, TO hang up, to
absorb MS. TO wear us out! Things!
Things Things. They drive us to
sanitaridms, divert us from the really
worth while, and when we are done
with life, we leave them all behind
We can't take even one of them with
us Don't let's be i'm such bondage
to them. Read again the story of the
rich young man. It's meaning is--oh,

lNhineA Fhinss! 'fhinss!

What we shall do with our things;
where We shall put our things; how
we shall get more things; TO whom
we shall leave our things when we get
through this vale of things-these are
the thoughts that demand our atten-
ton
Without all our things we should
have little TO do. aud little to worry
Bout
Whether we keep our things in a
trunk, a bundle or paper bag;
whether We hire house TO put them
in; whether we put them in storage
where they eat themselves up; or
whether We run away 10 Europe to
get away from our things our hor-
rible things .--for while; the fact
remains that they are the principal
part of us. and that they keep us in
perpetual bondage to them.
My word And then TO think of the
perfectly proper people who are ac-
uially waiting for dead mems shoes :
Sc that they can inherit more things!
Walt Whitman says: "Oh. TO be like
tho oXen-not burdened with owning
things
The Bible passes some stirring re-
Elections on things. The Bible has no
use for things, only 10 give away. In
locking up the references set down
in the concordance, even a dull per
son, non-sectarian and having no
light to speak of. must discern the
irimical attitude toward things.
There is the story OF the rich
young man in quest of eternal life
who. when he found he had to give up
his things. went away sorrowing.
What was eternal life compared TO
things?

MAINE DESTROYED
BY EXTERNAL AGENT

Havana.-The Maine was destroyed
by an external explosion. There is
no longer any doubt as to the manner
in which the United States battleship
was sunk in this harbor ON the night
of February Is, 1898.
The cofferdam about the wreck has
been pumped out and the mud cleared
away to a greater extent than ever
before. The clearing away of wreck
age reveals the double bottom of the
ship with part of the keel standing in
a perpendicular position % feet higher
than the natural position.
1t is Indicated by engineers here
that such a tearing of the ships bot
tom could not have been produced by
an interior explosion. 1t is further
said that no regulation military mine
could have wrought such terrific hav-
oc. 1t must have been huge mine,
as Captain Sigsbee and others sugges-
ted at the time; perhaps a sugar mill
boiler or large cask loaded with explo-
sives.

Transforming a chinaman.

A few weeks ago the Chinese Of
New Zealand were found to be doing
a very great deal Of the laundry work
available. and so had thrown out of
employment the women workers in
some of the laundries. In New Zea-
land a laundry is factory within
the meaning of the factories act. so
it occurred to the lawmaker that he
could settle the difficulty Of this Chi
nese competition by a neat amend
ment in the Interpretation clause Of
the act above mentioned. An amend
ment was therefore drafted and
printed and sent with the utmost Sc
robustness and good faith to the crown
law office for consideration. 1t con-
tanned a provision in these words:
"For the purposes Of this act (the
factories act) a Chinaman shall be
deemed to be a girl under eighteen
years Of age."-London M. A. P.

LIBERALS TO APPEAL
TO CANADIANS AGAIN

Montreal-The Liberal Ministers,
those defeated in election as we'll as
the few who saved their seats, will
meet in Ottawa the coming week to
wind up the affairs of the present
Government, and to tender their res
ignations to the Governor-General
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will not retire
from his position as leader of his
party.
Prominent Liberals here express
the opinion that the party will not
recant it's belief that trade reciprocity
would be a good thing for both coun-
tries, and that they will at the first
favorable opportunity again appeal to
the people of Canada to sustain them
in that belief.
Liberal leaders lay much of the rea-
son of their defeat to the era of un-
lprecedented prosperity through which
the Dominion is passing. All the
leading Liberals from Sir Wilfrid
down, have declared since their defeat
that they will hold to their view that
reciprocity offers Canada a decided ad-
vantage.

SELECT CULL|NCS
The Wickedest CITY.

There is no doubt about it-thts Ia
the wickedest city in the world: One
would hardly come to Irkutsk for a
rest cure. With population Of 12O,-
OOO persons crammed into q couple of
square miles on bend in the Angara
river. it produces 500 murders a year.
with an average Of one arrest for each
fifty killings And for each ten ar
rests there are but five convictions.
This is not buncombe; 1t is a tran
scription from the city's criminal rec
ords. In one day not long ago there
were twenty-five murders and at
tempted murders within the city
limits.
Irkutsk Is pretty gay at nights now,
but the citizens look back enviously to
the zenith Of it's career to the DAYS
OF the recent Japanese war. Then
champagne and wines were often eau
tiously transported free of freight
charges from st. Petersburg and Mos
cow in steel cars labeled powder
cars militant with painted imperial
eagles and Cossack guards. A colonel
of one regiment openly boosted In the
Metropole restaurant the other night
that more champagne was drunk in
lrkutsk in one month during the Japa-
nese war than is sold on Broadway,
New York. in half a year.-Irkutsk

A Clock That Speaks.


"The clock strikes one, we take no
note Of time" sang Young in his
might Thoughts" Were Young liv-
ing today he would get much more
poetry from the speaking than from
the striking timepiece. The new
slime stating clock" invented in Ger
many, announces the hours and quar-
tiers in IAN agreeable voice." It's
wheels actuate a stout belt, which runs
over a roll connected with a sounding
box. Upon this belt, or rather film,
the hours, which have been recorded
by phonograph. are impressed by
galvanization on a copper plate. The
mechanism which moves the hands is
connected with the speaking device,
and this with funnel, which re-en-
forces the sound and projects it out
ward through a finely grated opening
attached to the narrow side of the
clock. At night touch on a lever re-
duces the clock to silence.-London

OREGON SYSTEM IN COURT
Telephone Company Denies Laws
ConstitutionaIity.

WasningtOn.-The constitutionality
of the initiative and referendum, the
famous Oregon system" of popular
government, will be the subject of q
decision by the Supreme Court of the
United States in the approaching
term.
The question of the constitutional
ity of these expedients Of government
forms the basis of a suita between
the State Of Oregon and the Pacific
States Telegraph & Telephone Com
pany. The case originated in the
company's challenge of a law enacted
by the Oregon legislature under the
initiative plan, by which a tax of 2
per cent was placed on the gross
earnings of telegraph and telephone
companies.

ITALY AND TURKEY
ON VERGE OF WAR
Trouble May Result From Rup-
ture Over italian Protect
crate of TripoIi.

Rome.-The Italian government is
moving rapidly and with determine
ton to establish an Italian protecto-
rate over Tripoli. It's plans no longer
are concealed and it's attitude is ia
vored by all classes except the adj
vanced Socialists, who threaten to
call a general strike in the event of
hostilities.
1t is said the government hopes to
arrange an amicable settlement with
Turkey whereby Italy will secure a
lease of Tripoli under the sovereignty
of Turkey, paying therefor an annual
rental. If Turkey definitely refuses
to meet this proposal, Italy will pro-
coed with military measures.
The Turkish forces in Tripoli are
estimated at minimum of 10000
men. To cope with these, Italy will
send her whole fleet and an expedi-
tionary force of $4,000 men.

against the Los Angeles Times by the

who died as result of the disaster at

The plaintiffs allege that the ex-

mitted the establishment to become
filled with gas and with having failed
to provide proper means Of escape
from the building in accordance with
city ordinances.
