ST. VALENTINE

St. Valentine, saint of the Roman
calendar, is said to have been beheaded
at Rome on February IA, 800 A. D. From
the old notion that birds began to couple
on that day arose the custom among
young men and women of choosing each
other as "Valentines" for the ensuing year
by species of lottery, and of sending
love missives to each other. The name
thus became applied to letter or other
missive sent by young persons of either
sex to each other on Valentines day. the
printed missive being of an amatory or
satirical nature, generally sent by post
anonymously. Some valentines are highly
ornamental and artistic, while others
Commonly called "comic Valentines
are caricatures, designed to reflect on the
personal appearance, habits character,
ETC., of the persons to whom they are ad
dressed.-Ex.

The Kamchatkan peninsula proper is
about $50 miles in length, and the dis
tance from its roots to Bering strait is an
equal distance. Kamchatka lies in the
same latitude as the British isles, while
the country north to the Arctic ocean is
in the latitude of Norway. The Kam-
chatka region is bathed by cold arctic cur
rents instead of the warm Gulf stream,
and its climate is therefore much colder
than that of Britain and Scandinavia.

MYSTERY

One of the most impressive spiritual
facts of the opening twentieth century is
the vastness of human ignorance. For,
Just because mankind as a whole has
so much to learn; and we have so greatly
widened the limits of our collective know
ledge that each of us finds it difficult to
get any common measure of the informa
ton of others. In this confusion and
chaos of possible intellectual requirement
the chief masterful assertion of the intelli
gence is to recognize how limited and in
competent it is. Stupidity believes it
knows, triumphantly proclaims it knows,
acts with wild, blind fury on the bound
less ignorance that it mistakes FOR know
ledge. Intelligence is cautious quiet, looks
in front, behind and about, before it takes
a step, admits that every day it is learn
ing new views, seeing new lights, modify
ing old convictions, cannot and will not
act until it gets some idea of the full
bearing of its action.
Intelligence goes further and reaches its
greatest achievement in transforming
ignorance into mystery. The difference
between the two is not difference of
fact but of attitude. Ignorance is hate
full painful, tormenting Mystery is one
of the most beautiful things in the world.
Instead of rebeling against our universal
ignorance, of crying out for final, instan-
taneous, clear-cut truth, we must learn to
The mirror., 1921-02-10

enjoy the perpetually renewed wonder of
life. We must be on the watch for the
sweet surprises that await us daily. New
secrets are being unveiled about us. New,
strange resources of the natural world,
new hidden powers of the spirit, spring
up constantly to refresh and rejoice US.
Columbus and the great explorers of the
sixteenth century discovered oceans and
continents, but there are deeper oceans
and wider continents to be traversed in
the unsearched regions of the soul.
And as the aesthetic correlative of mys-
terry is wonder, so the spiritual correlative
is reverence Once show US how ignorant
we are, and we must be humble. Make
us feel that with our greatest efforts we
can but touch the hem of Truths gar
ment and our souls must be purified and
simplifed. In the face of mystery we
must drop our vain conceit and self-asser-
ton and be ready to look, listen and
learn, even as little children.-Yonths

KAMCHATKA: ALASKA'S
POOR RELATION

The Kamchatkan peninsula and the
Siberian country between it and the Arc
tic ocean have attracted International at
tention since the report of its lease to a
syndicate of Americans for the develop
ment of its natural resources. This region
is sort of half-sister to Alaska, which
was also once Russian territory.
Alaska, the more comely sister, Jared
forth, so to speak, was sold into the family
of the wealthy Uncle Sam, and has had
a life rich in excitement and adventure.
Kamchatka, the more homely sister, re-
mained under the Russian rooftree on the
west side of Bering sea, and has lived in
seclusion.
Kamchatka and the country north to
Berip~-strait contain large area of tun-
a ara OF Of Arctic plains; soft, spongy morasses
during the few months of summer; fro
zen, snow-covered wastes in winter. In
the higher land impenetrable underbrush
springs up in summer. What little travel
is possible at this season-is is done on the
backs of sturdy ponies who must wade up
the shallow streams or plod through the
sticky swamps. In winter travel is easy.
Teams of dogs and reindeer whisk. laden
sledges over the frozen surface of the
streams and across the snow of the tundra
at rate, under favorable circumstances,
of IS miles or more day. Trails that
are virtually highways are beaten down
by the teams of the natives bringing their
furs-the chief present resources of the
country-to the trading posts.
In the summer the curse of the moist
kan country; swarms of mosquitoes and
flies thcken the air and make life mis-
cradle for all living things. The nomadic
natives flee with their herds of reindeer to
the seacoast, where the breezes give some
relief.
Through the climate of Kamchatka is
rigorous, Westerner is likely to consider
the food of the country more SO. Bowls
of boiled fishes eyes are the most popular
delicacy in the lower peninsula where the
silver hordes of salmon run up most of
the streams. To the north reindeer meat
in some form is the universal piece de
resistance, the tongues and marrow bones
being priced in particular.
"Cold storage" eggs contribute to Kam-
chatka's tables. The eggs are obtained
from the nests of gulls and other wild
fowls and are buried in pits on the frosty
north side of hill until needed. Frozen
berries also exc out the winter fare.
Soup balls" carried by winter trav-
elers, are likely to prove compensation
to western palates. They are small balls
of reindeer sausage" surrounded by a
crust of dough- the whole about the size
of an English walnut. These balls freeze
and are carried in bags like marbles. A

service and martyrdom. And his prepar-
alton was of the simplest, and thereby the
profoundest sort. He studied in three
books, and all of them were volumes of
the book of life. He studied the written
Scriptures of the Bible; he studied the liv-
ing nature of men around him; he studied
the law in which wise men have sought
to bring justice out of the confusing maze
of thoughtlessness and self-interest. And
from his studies in all these books he
formed one basic conviction, namely, that
only the right thing wears longest, only
the right act serves longest, only the right
word guides longest. To find the right
thing, and upon occasion do it, was the
whole policy of Abraham Lincoln. And
though in politics he accepted the not too
high standards of his day-accepted them
in the sense that he was not called to
oppose them-he never cut any corners;
and the result or one of the results, was
that the political standards of his time
conformed to him.
How great Lincoln was we never shall
know, of what spirit he was, and what
the mystic backgrounds of his nature. He
never did or said anything sensational.
His greatest words were spoken when
there was no gallery. People were al
ways finding out that he was great man
after he had long passed by, they were
always discovering that he had said
great thing after they had nearly for
gotten what it was that he said. Most
of his policies were opposed and were
never approved until they were far along
in their operation and their wisdom was
plain to all. After his death his spirit
lay like steadying hand upon the ma
ton, and after his own generation had
passed. the succeeding generations began
their commemorative works. 1t needed
no "drives" to fix the memory of Lincoln
in the minds of the people.
The Great War came and relegated
great names to the past of forgetfulness::
Many of the illustrious dead were also
casualties of this war, for their character
and wisdom did not endure the testing
of that time of judgment. But Lincoln
has survived. His words are as true now
as they were before 1914. His service to
his people is not yet done. Of all the
great Americans, he is not only The I'm
mortal, but the most active spiritual in
Auence of them all.-Dearborn, Indepen-
