But the original type is undergoing a won.

Man is becoming more humble being as he

He no longer ridicUes her mental aspirations:
he no longer houts her ambitions to be something
besides a housekeeper; and he no longer attempts

Broadly speaking, opinions of this picture

One small class is represented by the judge

have blinded us to the Truth of the
Divine Plan are the false theories of
He'll and of Purgatory, and of a God
foxeordaining all except the Elect to
eternal torture. Another of the de-
ceiving doctrines is the one which led
us to believe that the Church In the
present life is to reign over the world,
to conquer it for Christ and to bring
all the blessings promised. Under
these decisions, so contrary to the Bi-
BILE, we have tried to make ourselves
believe that we were converting the
world; while, instead, we were neglect
ing the principal work given US by the
Lord namely, that of building our
selves up in the Most Holy Faith
In the Observation-Disclosures of our Re
deemer
Now we see more clearly the abb
surdity of such a position. We per-
ceive that there are twice as many
heather as there were a century ago,
and that any work of civilization
amongst the heather nations is not
making saints of them, nor making
them more happy or more contented.
Now we perceive that If the entire
heather world were brought to the civ
ilized condition enjoyed by the most
favored nations of earth, there would
still be as much need as ever for the

Why the Long Delay?
The reason for Gods delay in estab-

OLD FORT BUILT BY RUSSIANS
Archeoioglst's Explanation Of Ruins
Of Building on the Northern Coast
OF California.

Ruins of buildings on the old Weske
ranch, near Windsor and about thir-
teen miles north of Santa Rosa, Cal,
hitherto unexplained, now are thought
to be the work of people of mechani-
cal skill, probably Russians, who
erected the buildings 100 years or
more ago.
That the edifices were not the work
of the Spaniards is taken for granted
as the history of this country under
Spanish rule is sufficiently complete
to give assurance that some record OF
the construction of the buildings
would have been left.
The construction is too exact to
have been the work of the Indian
races and local investigators have de-
cided that the ruins are those of a
large fort or fortified settlement built
by Russians early In the hast cen.

LINE OF NORTHERN BOUNDARY
Curious History Of United States Tes-
ritory That "Overiaps" Into the
Dominion Of Canada.

How did the United States come to
get that small corner of land which
Juts out from the extreme northern
boundary Of Minnesota? History of
that little nose which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point of
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty OF 1888 boundary be-
tween the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mu-
tually agreed to as one starting point,
this being considered the headwaters
OF the st. Lawrence river and Great
Lakes system. At that time it was not
known whether this point was north
or south of the forty-ninth parallel
but it was known to be close to 1t. The
understanding was that from that
point the boundary should go north or
south to the forty-ninth parallel, as the
case might be. Later and more accu-
rate surveys showed that point was
about rs miles north OF the forty-ninth
parallel, and 30 at this place the
boundary makes a jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has q little piece of
territory of about 100 square miles in
extent north of the general boundary
And the joke of it is that any one has
to go by water in order to reach this
little piece Of territory unless he
wants to go through Cansda-The
Pathfinder.

HARD TO DRIVE FROM NEST
Remarkable Case Of Devotion to Home
Shown by Nesting Meadow Lark
In Massachusetts.


An endearing trait In birds is their
love of home, and the bravery with
which they face danger in protecting
their eggs or baby birds. They seem
to become very tame at such times;
not seldom a person who approaches
them quietly may, after few gentle
attempts, stroke mother bird as she
broods. But it Is really courage, and
not enjoyment of the attention. that
abe displays.
An interesting example of the strong
attachment of a bird to its home, as
well as its adaptability to unusual cir
cumstances, was given by a meadow
Lark that found itself day after day
under gun-fire. and learned not to
fear 1t.
At the practice grounds of the
United States marine corps at Wake
neld, Mass, some low mounds were
raised on the firing line On the
front side of one of these mounds a
meadow lark built its nest, and had
laid its eggs when the seasons prac-
tee In target shooting and skirmish
drill began. The rife of the man ly-
ing on the mound was directly over
the nest. and not more than two feet
above it.
At first the birds would fly away,
when the firing skirmigh line was still
at some distance; but as the practice
continued. they became accustomed to
the noise. They would wait until the
men came very near before flying, and
would return Immediately after. AS
the time came for the eggs to hatch,
one Of the birds would stay on the
nest during the firing, even If rife
were held just above her head The
marines were very careful not to dis
} turb the little family. When the young
came, they were nourished amid the
smoke Of battle, as 1t were, and finally
left the nest unframed Com

Newton,a Observatory

There is an interesting mystery as
ISOLATED with S5 st. Martins street,
once the home of Sir Isaac Newton,
which is now in the property market.
On the roof there used to be a Gu
rious structure made almost entirely
of glass, and for many years this was
confidently believed to have been Sir
Isaac Newton's observatory. Fanny
Burney, whose father, the noted mu-
stefan, DR.. Charles Burney, was at one
time an occupier Of the house. occa,
sionally used the erection as q study,
and In her memoirs of her father she
refers to it as Newton's observatory,
In 1855 doubt was cast upon the story
by John limbs In his "Curiosities Of
London" He asserts that the obser-
vatory was built by subsequent ten
ant. Ffenchman. It has been furth-

only built the room. but also equipped

The reason why mantelpiece clocks
DO often get out of order Is SO obvious
that 1t u strange that attention to it
has not been drawn before. A Lon
don clockmaker said:
1T is because mantelpieces are
rarely level. If a clock meant for a
mantelpiece Is not placed In an exactly
horizontal position 1t is sure to go
wrong. When the clock gains or loses
because OF its stlanting position, peo-
pie regularly move the hands forward
or backward. as the case may be, in
order to adjust. 1t. Eventually the
clocks hands are moved about SO
much that the mechanism gets out of
order and the clock refuses even to
tick.
Watches and travelling clocks are
constructed differently from the sta
tionary clock, and they win go In any
position. That is why they are relied
upon more than the ornamental man

VaIua Of Lahor

Labor is commodity to be bought
ard sold Notwithstanding the maudlin
criticism of some theorists, writes c.
W. Post in Leslie's. Labor ia not the
man himself, whom l consider a part
of the divine. but labor ia his output
Just the same as wheat is the output
of the farmer, and it is a subject for
purchase and sale, and upon its quail
ity depends its demand and it's value.
There are two kinds of labor, the one
manual and the other mental. When
the skilled workman possesses train
ed mind which directs his hands, he
rises in value, and when he reaches a
plane where his mind is so we'll train
ed that he in turn becomes a creator
and must needs devise and direct. he
then requires other hands to carry
out his ideas. Then he again rises In
the plane of value to humanity, and
his compensation must keep pace.

Middle Names Taboo.

People have not always been al.
lowed the pleasure Of having as many
names as they wish: indeed, 400 years
ago not even middle name was al.
lowed in England. 1t was Illegal. The
old English law was definite and ad-
mitted of no infraction Of its ruling.
The only exception made to this iron
clad regulation was in the case Of
persons Of royal rank. If they really
wished It they could boast a middle
name but woe to the person Of ordi-
nary rank who was sufficiently unwise
or obstinate to insist on having more
than two appellations.
For the first offense he would very
likely be tied to a whipping post and
severely dashed. For a second offense
he would endure some more lasting
punishment, perhaps the removal Of
his thumbs or his ears. And II he
still persisted in his stubbornness he
would be hanged.
There is a case on record of q poor
man--in all probability half demented
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature to
any paper. OF course he passed
through all the legal stages Of punish
ment until he was finally hanged.
