PAGE EIGHT.

Rev. Andrew j. Graham, c.. S. b.
gave q lecture on "Christian Science,
the Voice In the Wilderness at the
First Church of Christ Scientist, in
this city ut 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon.
He was introduced with q brief adj
dress by Miss Beatrice Olson. Mr..
Graham is 8 msmber of the Board of
Lectureship of the Mother Church,
The First Church Of Christ Scientist,
in Boston. Mass.
Ills address was in part as follows:
In speaking Of the subject: Chris
tian Science: The Voice in the Will
dcrness," we are seeking to elucidate
the fact that Christian Science,
through its authorized literature, and
treatments, raises a voice of hope and
confidence iii al! periods OF mental
darkness and depression. and express
es q voice OF gratitude and love. when
peace and harmony have come into
ones experience.
AT the very outset OF this lecture
permit me to say something about
Christian Science treatment and
Christian Science healing. Christian
Science treatment and healing pre-
supposes that some members of the
human rae nave reached q compar-
atively clear understanding OF the na-
tura OF tod and 4 and through
that understanding are able to realize
TO I'M extent the omnipotency Of
God and therefore the importency Of
evil. Mary Baker Eddy was the first
member of the human Family to re-
ceive ChrisGia: Science treatment and
healing, und"r that specific name;
and she was hes own practitioner.
Through many years OF patient study
OF The Bible and trust in God she had
attained to this understanding. In
process of tine through her writings
und individual teaching, many stu
dents throughout the World gained
sufficient understanding to begin to
heal themselves and others. These

STOCK MARKET.
CWoIlman and Company )

y.)
 Although there has been some loss in activity the stock market in the last two weeks has made no sacri- flee in tone. Specialties which have made up such a large proportion of the total transactions heretofore have been more or less in the background, while the solid industrials of proven power and attractive promise have furnished the list with it's chief points of interest and strength. The rails, as might be expected, were dull and featureless.
 The advancing tendency of the leading industrials has developed in the face of conflicting influences. There has been the usual uncertainty over the money situation, while for eign exchange has been in a state of collapse. The slow progress made in the Peace T eaty deliberations has operated to discourage business. Even the impressive figures on our foreign trade for the past year must be in terpreted as evidence of Europe's desperate needs, rather than an in- dication of our own commercial re- sourcefulness.
 The disposition of the market to respond to favorable factors is fair proof of it's overso1d condition. The statement of the United States Steel Corporation was surprisingly good. Taken in conjunction with the recent figures on thrilled tonnage, the finan- ciaI student has good basis for opti- mism on the steel group in general and the 1ow-cost producers in partic- ular. The equipment companies, in view of urgent railroad needs, also appear to be in a very strong posi- ton.
 In our opinion, the market is man ifesting characteristics of solidity and soundness. The froth has been blown off some of last years showy promo tions, and public interest is being centered more and more on well-seas- oned securities representing the basic industries of the nation. This choice requires no fine talent for discrimina- tion. The exercise of common sense is all that is needed. The market is in 8 healthy condition and will re- spond to favorable developments.

6-YEAR-OID COIN FOUND.

Competition in pickles preserved from before the Civil War period, whiskers that were grown when air ships were not dreamed of and old documents almost from the days of Adam have inspired Mrs. R. D. Crump of Fulton, Mo, to come forward with an old coin.
 Only part of the design and words stamped on the coin could he deci- phered because it was so badly worn. Don Carlos Ill.," and the figures "1704,' can be seen plainly.
 Mrs Crump found the coin while she was working in her garden and she brought it to Fulton to a news paper office- According 10 the date stamped on the coin it is 216 years old, and persons to whom it was shown were not able to shed any light on it's indentity. The coin appears as if it might have been the size of an American 25-cent piece before it became so badly worn. A hole punched in the coin indicates that it might have been worn at one time as a, trinket.-St. Paul News.

A TACTICAL ERROR.

A major of Marines had his bat talion out in the brush in Cuba for a problem in observation. He detailed a private to go to a small hill about a quarter of mile away and conceal himself. The battalion would then try to locate the private with field glasses as a, training for finding ene- my scouts and snipers during actual battle conditions.
 The private trotted off and, at a signal from the major, f1lopped to the ground. The major turned around to explain the problem to the battal- ion, but, upon turing again, was much incensed to see the private standing again in full view of all. Seizing a pair of signal flags from a sergeant the major wig-wagged wrathfully: "Why don't you lie down as I or dered?"
 Upon which the private on the sky line wig-wagged back respectfully but with great emphasis:
 'tSir, why did the major order me to lie down on an ant hi1l?''

 The constantly rising number of sick teachers is causing an acute con dition in the schools, according to MT Slawson. Conditions are helped sorGs- what by the absence of hundreds of children. At the high school 38 teach CTS are laid up and 330 pupils are out for unknown reasons. Many of the members of the faculties are without telephones and for that reason Supt Slawson has been unable to determine their condition.

"RING'' IS NOT SURE TEST
 FOR COUNTERFEIT COIN

One seldom takes serious thought of commercials during the busy hours but when one does occasionally de- eide to test the genuineness of a coin he fips it on a counter and if there is music in it he is satisfied. This is no test, inasmuch as counterfeiters have learned to put music in even the crudest of limitations.
 Furthermore, many genuine coins have lost their musical tone or never had such a tone. The music i'll coins comes from the metal crystals inside the coin. This crystalline for nation may be broken. Whatever disturbes the crystals may impair the music or ring of the metal In roll ing the ingots into strips the metal often does not anneaI or stick to- gether in places, and should such a place become the center of a coin that coin will not ring.
 Although the coins are inspected and the edges carefully examined for flaws, it is not uncommon for slight flaw to be passed because 1t is in visible at the time of inspection. Such flaws generally will become enlarged and the coin will show a crac:1 after much handling Such a coin there after will appear to many to be coun- terfeit, although it is good.
 A heavy blow on a good coin will rob it or any ring that it might have had Also coins that have been in a safe generally will have lost their ring fol, the reason that the heat will have run together the crystals of the met all The one dependable way of test ing bad coin is by tae S-si.
