The key to His great humility, His
grace 10 do the lowliest things and to
be patient with the devil himself and
10 bear such fiisut and injury as came
upon Him is seen In verse 3. He knew
who He was that He came from heay-

the Father had given all things into
His hands He was not aiming 10 be
somebody, for He was the only real
somebody that ever lived. Real great
ness can stoop gracefully to lowliest
service, but 1t is impossible to those
who are aiming ut greatness. Only as
we believe that we really are what
God says we are, because of our being
redeemed by the precious blood Of
Christ. can we walk worthy of such Il

Old Apple Still Fresh.

Apples may come and apples may
60, but this one goes on forever. This
may be said of an apple belonging to
George NJ. Reade. of St. Paul, Minn.,
which he picked from a tree in New
York in 1868.
Mr.. Reade lived on farm in Cort-
land county, N. Y, when boy. One
day. just for amusement, he climbed
one Of his fathers apple trees, picked
the largest apple he could find and
stuck cloves in 1t, says an exchange.
1t was merely an experiment, he
said. He had heard of preserving ap-
pies by putting cloves in them. but
thought it only Joke.
He gave the apple to his mother, and
when she died and some goods were
shipped to him in Minnesota. the apple
was found among them. sound and still
fragrant from the spice.
"This apple" Mr.. Reade said. ':has
been from New York to Dakota. and
from Tennessee to Minnesota. It has
always been exposed to the air. It will

How an inexperienced man can feed

company, Eleventh battalion. He was

son of furniture manufacturer here,
and is married.
In a letter home, Lincoln tells how
he is feeding 145 men for less than %
cents each day. He says the food is
well cooked, and that the men have
plenty. A sample menu, inclosed in
the letter, shows how Lincoln made a
saving Of $17.3S on the governments
food allowance for the three meals
scheduled.
For breakfast the men had ham.
burger steak. biscuits and j. syrup
hashed brown potatoes and coffee. The
dinner menu was vegetable soup, mac

illustrates the attachment of our fly

putting out his left eye. another shat

have been easy, hut with the numb.

MANIA FOR BURIED TREASURED
Seekers Of Wealth Always at Work oe
sunken Spanish Vessels Along
European Coast.

There have always been treasure.
seekers diligently endeavorinR to dla.
cover and bring to light the wealth
hidden by their predecessors. Only q
few years ago a princess Of the roya1
blood of Britain was seeking for gold
In the depths Of the sea. She-it waa
the Princess Louise-had the right 10
the hulks of the vessels of the ill-fated
Spanish Armada, which vert down OF
the Isle Of Null during their scared
and hurricane-t1riven fight round the
British Isles. She had little more luck
than her ancestors, who had been
working ut that treasure-trove since
the seventeenth century, for only a
few old cannon and small number Of
coins were brought to the surface. .
In the days when Drake sailed the
seas Spanish galleon always meant
plenty of gold to the British sailor,
and romance and tradition have taken
nothing from their luster, 60 that
wreckers and treasure-hunters are
practically always at work at some
one or other of the ancient Spanish
wrecks that lie all round the coasts Of
Europe.
1t is not generally known that when
Queen Victoria died she left to the
Princess Beatrice her rights to the
gold in the ships Of the Spanish Ar
mada lying at the bottom of the Eng
lish Channel. How rich q trove that
Is may be judged from the fact that
longshoremen all along the south coast
make a practice of seeking for the
coins that sou'-wester drives on DO
the beach out Of these same vessels.

People Kept In Ignorance.

The western districts of the vilavet
of Monastir and a large part of that
of Kossovo are Inhabited by race
wilder and more primitive than any
to he found in Europe-the Albanians.
Very little Is known Of this strange
and interesting people. save that they
speak an european tongue, but do
not belong to any of the recognized
groups of the Aryan family. It Is
probable that they are descended from
the ancient Illyrians, who were driven
westward by the advancing waves Of
Slavs. Their language. like the people
themselves, is wild and lawless, and
has practically no literature. Even
the popular songs are very few. The
Turkish government has deliberately
kept them in state Of barbarism and
ignorance. and makes use Of them to
overawe the neighboring peoples.
