1.-THE ACID TEST"

II you have q piece Of metal sup
posed to be pure gold and about which
you are not sure, just drop 1t into
Nitric acid. II 1t Is gold there will be
no more results than II dropped in
water, but If brass or mostly brass,
and allowed to remain long enough,
1t will be reduced to liquid. Brass
can't stand the acid test. Figurative-
ly speaking, the acid test "can be ap-
piled" to individuals, corporations, or
governments. Comparative few Of
either can stand 1t successfully, but
some can. In applying the test to Life
Insurance Companies, the company
that passed 1t successfully would be
one that could show that 1t had lived
long enough to establish its perma-
nency beyond shadow Of doubt-was
relatively safe as the U. s. govern
ment that 1t had never issued spec
ulative or deferred dividend policy,
had always given every policy holder
all that was coming to him, whether
he knew his rights or not and had
carried out its contracts at mini
mum cost. The Mutual Benefit Is one
Of the very few-not exceeding three
companies-that can stand this test
and 1t in many respects, stands at tne
head Of the others. Don't you think
you would be better satisfied II insured
in a company that could stand this
test than in one that cannot? l am
sure you would, especially when the
cost will be no more.

CONSERVATION Caused by Animal
Upper Yukon District.

CONSERVATION Caused by Animal in
Upper Yukon District.
A horse is such commonplace OBJ
ject to most of us that it brings some
what Of a shock Of surprise to read of
the astonishment and fear. caused
among Indians far north in the upper
Yukon district. The horse belonged
to Charles Sheldon. naturalist and
hunter, who describes his explorations
in the wilderness Of the Upper Yukon:
IN the afternoon, shortly after see
ing an old Indian and two boys on
the left bank, We came to their camp
where four families were occupying
tents. Never had I seen Indians in the
north Of such healthy and vigorous ap-
pearance. AS took the horse off the
boat, all started to run, and their dogs
which were tied near the tents became
greatly excited, and struggled against
their chains to attack him. None OF
the Indians Of the Upper Pelly river
ever before had seen a horse"
On the next day the experience was
repeated at q second camp:
LAS the Vidette rounded the curve
into Ross river and made fast, I gazed
from the deck at the multitude Of In
dians-men, women and children-all
assembled on the bank and nervously
rushing about. When the gangplank
was put out l suddenly rode Danger
the horse, to the shore and approached
the Indians on a trot, while men, wo-
men and children were fleeing In all
directions and shouting in fright. My
progress was suddenly checked, how
ever, for at once a dozen or more dogs
rushed at the horse, bowling and snap
ping. If the trappers had not quickly
beaten them off, the horse surely
would have been disabled"
News Of the wonderful animal was
Immediately carried ahead.
Many Indians had come to our
camp for the purpose Of seeing the
horse, which aroused their interest
among them. One morning three ap-
peared very early, and watched us
throw the pack on Danger. So great
was their astonishment to see him
walk off with a pack Of 20 pounds that
they followed US for three miles"

Meat During Lent.-Few people un-
derstand why eggs play 80 important
part in Easter celebrations. The
reason is that the medieval law for
bade eggs during Lent, and hence. al
Easter. the hungry medieval populace
returned to their favorite dish with
rejoicing. With us today, when Lent
no longer forbids eggs, there Is no rea-
son for featuring them upon our Eas-
ter Sunday breakfast menu. But we
do so-it Is the pretty survival Of an
obsolete custom. ... .....
In Elizabeth's time he who ate flesh
during Lent was fined three pounds
sterling. He who so much as as had
meat in his house was pilloried or SET
In the stocks.
But the rich, as usual, lodged the
harsh Lenten laws, and they who
could afford it, bought licenses to eat
meat in Lent.

Resting on His Laurels.--An under
taker was discussing queer sepultures
says the New York Tribune.
"a queer sepulture indeed he said
was that Of German playwright
Gustaye Won Moser. Won Moser KEEP
in his house a costly and beautifu
urn. He proposed to be cremated, ane
his ashes were to be put in the urr
afterward.
But the strangest thing about the
urn was that it contained q little bee
of ashes during Won Mosers life. Hs
used, you see, to get a good many lau'
rel wreaths when his new plays wert
put on, and he would take a sprie
from each wreath. burn it, and droI
the ashes into the urn. ~ )--s
my own ashes he would say VII
lie on top. Thus. after death, 1t may
be truly said of me that I am resting
on my laurels.'"

there was started movement to have
the kits Of a certain one OF the British
Highland" regiments discarded IN IA
vor of ordinary trousers. 1t was OBJ
jected that the men would be discon-
tented at this change. and the colonel
ordered that a census Of the regiment
be taken in order to ascertain the
wishes Of the men themselves. The
colonel is the descendant of long line
Of Scotch lairds and strives earnestly
to uphold the old traditions.
The sergeant who took the census OF
the regiment finally appeared with his
report.
"AIl the men, with the exception OF
three, are in favor Of the change, sir,
he said.
'Indeed!" the colonel said. Tell me
the names Of these three true clans

The sergeant read from his list:
"They are. sir" he said, Patrick

BOY SCOUTS FIVE YEARS OLD
Baden PowelI's Society Now With
Thousands Enrolled.

In the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation building at Birkenhead, Eng
land, there is q tablet commemorating
the fact that in that edifice on Janu-
ary %, 1908, Lieutenant General Sir
Robert S. Baden-Powell publicly in
augurated the Boy Scout movement,
says the Atlanta Journal. On the fifth
anniversary Of that historic meeting
the Boy Scouts number a full million
"a vast army Of youths that march
under the flags Of twenty-four nations.
Although England was the birthplace
Of the movement, the Boy Scouts are
the most numerous on this side Of the
Atlantic, the United States alone hav-
ing about half million, while in Can
ada and even in the Latin American
countries the organization has enjoyed
a tremendous growth.
Although q warrior, General Sir Ba-
den-Powell, the originator Of the move
ment, laid emphasis, not on the mill
tary note, but on peace virtues. and
the learning Of trades and useful oc-
cupations. This has been the keynote
in all lands, and the criticisms Of the
anti-war societies seems to be ILL
founded. Sir Baden-Powell has re-
peatedly stated that the object Of the
scouting movement Is to make boys
into manly men and good and useful
citizens and not to make soldiers OF
them.
The movement has-to use a trite
phrase-seemed Ito fill long-felt
want" In two years 100000 Boy
Scouts were enrolled in England. In
Toronto over $500 boys Joined the or
ganization within few months. Sim
liar instances Of tremendous gains In
membership have been witnessed In
hundreds Of other American cities. In
Germany the popular dislike OF the
English did not hinder the progress
Of this British-born movement, and
the lads manifested such wild enthu-
siasm that the Prussian and Brava-
rian legislative bodies voted financial
aid to the movement. In the United
States the movement won the approx

president.
The Scouts are organized in patrols
and troops, eight boys constituting a
patrol, and three patrols making up a
troop, with an adult as scoutmaster.
ANY boy over IL years of age is eligi-

AMERICAS CITY OF VULCAN
Pittsburgh the Front Door Of the Val,
10y Of la Sale. gi


Pittsburgh Is the front door Of the
valley Of the La Sale, as we now
know the valley, and the most inn
portant door; for the tonnage that en-
ters and leaves 1t by rail and water
exceeds, 1t Is estimated, the tonnage
Of the five other greatest cities Of the
world, and is one-half the combined
tonnage Of both coasts Of the United
States-which Is probably due to the
fact that So much Of its traffic Is not
In silks and furs, but in iron, says
John Finley in Scribners. And the
multitudes Of human beings that pass
through 1t are comparable in numbers
with the migrant tonnage and inani-
mate cargoes, for Pittsburgh Is the
antithesis OF mediaevel town." "it is
all notion" 1T Is flow, not tank" s
The mountains, once impenetrable
barriers that had to be gone about,
have been leveled, and In leveling the
watersheds have been shifted. One
who sees that throng pass today back
and forth, to and from the valley to
the ocean, must know that there are
no Alleghanies in our continental
topography. II one makes the journey
from the ocean in the night one may
hear, II one wakes, the putting Of two
engines, but there will be nothing else
to tell that the shaggy mountains are
there-nothing except that and the
groaning of the wheels.
The Indians, near Pittsburgh, prayed
the messenger Of Onontion that they
might keep their English smith; and
the prayer seems to have been abund-
antly answered, for Pittsburgh appears
at first to be one vast smithy, 80 en-
veloped Is 1t in the smoke Of its own
toll, so Redeemed are its great sky
walls by Its flaming forges, so filled
is the air with the dust from the bel
lows, and go dangerous Is the sound Of
its hammers
It Is a city Of vulcan-a city whose
industry makes academic discussions
seem as the play Of girls in the field
Of flowers. It Is not primarily a
market-place. this point Of land, one
of the places where the French and
English traders used to barter guns,
whisky and the trinkets for furs. It
