Exeter Advocate, 1906-5-17, Page 3NOTES AND COMMENTS
The latest light on other days is
illuminating the copper age, Was there
a cropper age? Some of the wiseacres
think there was, and that it, succeeded
the stone age and preceded the age of
bronze. Copper implements are most
scarce. It is supposed that the copper
age lasted a far shorter tiune than the
bronze age, and that many of the cop,
per implements were later melted down
by the bronze workers. The copper im-
plements are of more primitive form
than 'i the great majority of bronze im-
pleenents, and some of therm so closely
approached the shape of pertain stone
implements as to lead one to believe
that they. were cast in molds which were
made round actual stone implements.
The bronze age tools show great , uni-
formity in the proportionof tin . and
copper in their alloy. Gold is. the most
widely diffused metal and the one that
was first known. But gold and silver
played but a small part in the culture
of the stone age.
The discovery of smelting probably
had its origin in the campfire. The
primitive furnace was a small, shallow
hole in the ground in which alternate
layers of charcoal and ore were placed,
and the copper and Lin furnaces of Ja-
pan still retain this character. R is
believed'by some that bronze implements
were made from a copper ore contain•
ing tin long before metallic tin was
definitely added to copper tomake
bronze.
In Hungary an alloy of copper and
antimony preceded that of copper and
tin. Implements were frequently made
of alloys of copper with lead, antimony,
or nickel, or arsenic, but this was due
to the use of inferior copper ores.
Modern furnaces get rid of these
purities, but the primitive furnaces did
not. The discovery of bronze was as
accidental as that of copper. Impure
copper ores gave rise to various kinds
of bronze, and experience proved which
of these was best fitted for certain pur-
poses. Observation and experiment led
to the discovery that the tin impurity
gave the best results, and tin was
definitely added in the proportion that
was found to be most serviceable.
Tho conversation of fishes is carried
on by sound production. It is an en-
tirely erroneous idea to think of fishes
as unable to make sounds. Voluntary
sounds are produced by an effort of the
will on the part of the fish. Putting aside
all unnatural sounds which are ex-
emplified in the herring when caught in
the nets, the piscatory students have
found evidence that fish can produce
sounds by means of special vocal pow-
ers. Some part of the bony skeleton is
movable and it is made to rub or grind
against some fixed part of the hard
skeleton. The bones have rough sur-
faces and by their rubbing set up a
sound. The stickleback, which has been
the subject of the earlier experiments,
is a good illustration. In other fish a
murmuring sound is produced by the
pressure of the air upon the valves of
the air bladder. In still other fish there
are two little flexible spines, attached
to which is a muscle that by contracting
causes the spines to tap rapidly against
the air bladder. This produces a sound
like the roll of a drum. The sounds
produced by the air bladder are ex-
tremely varied, both in quality and
loudness, but are not musical.

WIIER] IS.TIIYBROTHER?
The'' Power of Man for Good Is In
Wide Sympathies
And the Lord said unto Cain, Where
i; Abel thy brother? And he said, 1
know not: am 1 my brother's keeper?-
Genesis iv., 9.
Emerson has said in one of his essays:
"The power of man consists in the mu1-
tltude of his affinities," And he might
have added that this was the measure
of a man's goodness. . . When a
roan bas that something which draws
men to him and impels him in sympathy
and comprehension toward other men,
then he has within him the -possibility
of all that is best in life. When a man
has that within him which turns him,
in deliberate isolation of spirit, from
(»"rose closer relationships which make
for the mutual happiness of all, then
he possesses the possibility of all that
is worst in life.
In the story of Cain and Abel is a
lesson deeper and broader of applica-
tion than the mere setting forth of the
facts- of the first violentdeath at the
hands of a murderous human being.
The narrative bears out this interpre-
tation. Cain and Abel bring their of-
ferings to God. The nffering of the
former is rejected -not because of what
It consists of, but because sin and sel-
fishness lie at the door.
Cain's object was to use God for his
selfish purposes, not to submit . himself
to God's purposes. His religion was a
gift to God by which he might exalt
himself and
GAIN SOMETHING;
and when the possibility of gaining his
solflsh end was denied, his brother
whom he thought stood in the way, be-
came the victim of his sordid purpose.
Thus the history of Cain • is not the story
solely of a single bloody incident, but
the revelation of a soul's attitude toward
life, the consequence which such a soul
inflicts upon the world and the misery
it brings upon itself. 1t depicts the type
of man who chooses his path regardless
of human affinities, determined that his
power and happiness shall be attained
by using God and men instead of serv-
ing them. "Where is Abel, thy brother?"
And he said: "I know not; am I my bro-
ther's keeper?"
All sin and misery are the outcome
of a state of mind that has by progres-
sive steps led to them. So Christ, read-
ing the secret of men's hearts, attempted
not to give a law, but an inspiration.
1t is not alone the knife, .or the deadly
weapon, or the angry blow which lays
Its victims low, but it's the spirit that
breathes behind these and all forms of
aggression -the spirit which says: "Tile
earth is mine and the fruit of it, the
joy and the happiness of it are all mine.
Let others serve mo or take the conse-
quences."
Let my brother look out for hinfself.
Am I his keeper? What danger, think
you, we are under in this era in which
we live? '
•
THE CHIEF DANGER
is the losing of our affinities. In this
day of ambition and acquirement, when
the work of each man becomes special-
ized, the possibility of losing touch in
sympathy with one another is immensely
heightened. Never has the world need-
ed more of love and of close relationship
than it does to -day.
We are our brother's keeper and Ie-
sponsibie for him as he for us. His life is.
a dear and precious possession for our
lives. When our selfishness forgets
his life and assails it, however indirect-
ly, then if our conscience be not bur-
dened we shall hear the voice of God
whispering, "Where is thy brother?"
The crimes, the sins, the miseries of
the world, are not isolated facts; they
spring from the prepossessions of men's
souls, their unworthy aims and aspira-
tions. For one catastrophe nature brings
there are a thousand wrought of the
unsound desires of the human heart. 11
we mellow our hearts and are kind, if
we fortify our hearts for justice, if we
cease to think the world is ours only 10
exploit, if we believe not that our offer-
ings to God should be preferred to
other men's, if we livein the spirit cf
Jesus Christ, the world will know no
human tragedies;' the mark of Cain
shall be removed from it, and the service
of every soul acceptable to Him who
now asks the question, "Where is thy
brother?"

THE CARE OF FURNITURE.
When women realize more fully that
their homes are a setting for themselves
they will select and care for their fur-
niture.
There are many polishes, stains and
glues to be had for little money.
To be in proper condition a piece el
furniture must shine as though just pol-
ished.
It can easily be made to do this if it
is rubbed weekly with a mixture one-
quarter vine gar and three-quarters pre-
pared table top oil.
Apply this. with a flannel, polish with
a large piece, and finish polishing with
a fresh flannel. A brisk sponging in
cold water, immediately wiped off, Is
said to restore the gloss to rosewood,
when it has assumed a grey film.
Natural finish willow and wicker are
cleaned by using a scrubbing brush and
r. warm suds of borax. These must be
dried quickly in the sun if possible.
Varnished or enameled wicker is dry
cleaned by rubbing it hard with a swab
of prepared chalk and very fine hard-
wood sawdust, tied tightly in cheese-
cloth.
Carved wood can he brushed out often
with a large, soft camel's hair paint
Mush or a :swab. Very intricate and
delicate' work will need the sand blast.
Use fine tripoli and a hand bellows. The
dust will fly back with the sand.
Gilt furniture is cleaned with a cream
of alcohol and sifted whiting. If a spot
does not come off at once, touch it lightly
with alcohol. Deep dirt or tarnish needs
10 be washed with borax suds, wiped
dry and then covered with the whiting
and allowed to dry on. Remove this
with a stiff brush later and polish with
a sale leather. If a frame is only specl:-
led with tarnish this can be token off
with alcohol on a flannel. Afterward
polish with a chamois.
Vermin in upholstery can be removed
by injecting beneath the covers a solu-
ron of white carbolic acid and tureen.
t,ne, one-fifth being carbolic.
Nothing is so destructive to furniture
as too nwch dry furnace heat. It may
l:irove helpful to keep a large bowl of
water in the room so that the air may
absorb moisture from it.
SOME USEFUL HINTS.
Brown boots wear longer, and become
a better color, if bought of a natural
int anti darkened with castor oil.
Gloves will not split if you place thein
between the folds of a towel, slightly
ampcned, before putting them on.

When boiling tough meat or an old
owl add a pinch of soda to the water
o make it tender and cook gently.
It is not generally known that tin
leaned with newspapers will •shine bet-
ter than when cleaned with flannel.
When washing greasy dishes add a
ew drops of ammonia to the water,
which makes the work quicker and
tore thorough. -

HIDDEN GAMBLING DENS
POLICE ARE OFTEN PUZZLED ROW
TO GET INTO THEM.
The Elaborate Precautions Which Are
Taken to Avoid Unexpected
Raids.
The police will tell you that there is
hardly a town of any size in the country
where gambling dens do not exist, and
also that there es no illegal practice
harder to cope with than this form of
secret gambling. Usually the club is to
all outward appearance purely a social
concern, and it is most difficult for the
police to get proof that there is more
below the surface.
Absolute proof of guilt must be ob-
tained before a raid can be made, and
even after such proof has been secured
it is next to impossible to surround the
plane without alarming the gamblers.
Almost invariably these latter have a se-
cret means of retreat, and while the po-
lice are breaking in the gamblers make
gc'od their escape.
The precautions taken by, the keeper
or keepers of the gambling club are
endless. In the first place, care is tak-
en that the front door shall . be solid
and secure. In the case of • a club raid-
ed in New York, the front door was
completely plated with steel, while fold-
ing steel gates were locked across the
front windows. , •
STEEL -CLAD DOORS.
Having passed the front door the visi-
tor finds himself in a passage with a
couple of men on guard, and beyond
them another heavy door. Even when
the second door is passed there is no
sign of law breaking. A club -room, more
or less comfortable, with a bar, and
men eating and drinking -that is all there
Is to be seen. The card or roulette room
is usually upstairs, and in one case
known to the writer it would have puz-
zled any stranger to find the stairs, so
cleverly was the door leading to them
concealed behind what appeared tb be
a massive sideboard.
In this case there is still another man
on guard outside the room where the
gambling is going on, and, to make as-
surance doubly sure, there were peep-
holes in the door itself, so that any new
comers might be scrutinized before be-
ing admitted.
POLICE BEAT THEM:
Irr addition to all these precautions
there are others even more ingenious.
1st one case a man was kept on duty
on the roof to watch the street. If ue
saw any suspicious appearance he at
once warned those below through a
speaking tube which terminated in a
gas bracket in the card -roam. When
such a warming was heard, all the
gambling utensils were at once swept
away and safely concealed in a secret
hiding place cleverly built in behind the
lire grate.
Yet even dais club, which was in the
West End of London, was eventually
raided. The police succeeded in intro-
ducing a spy who learnt all the secrets
of the place, so that the inspector was
able at once to open the hiding piaci,.
Nearly 30 arrests were made on this oc-
casion..
ON BORDER LINE.
As most people are aware, the legis-
lation of any country ceases on the
high seas -that is, at a three-mile limit
from the shore. On more than one oc-
cnsion use has been made of this fact
to fit up steamships as gambling°shops
and move them round from point, to
print. The best known instance was,
perhaps, the Eleanore, which was own-
ed by an American, and which was fin-
ally brought to book at Trieste, on the
Adriatic.
Another dodge practised on the Be1-
gia.n frontier was to build a house half
Belgium, half in Germany, and by
shifting from one room to another defy
in turn the 'police of mach country.

tist. Golden Text: Epb. 5. 18.
LESSON WORD STUDmS.
Note. -The text of the Revised Version
isused as a basis for these Word
Studies.
Intervening Events. -Several events
intervene between the last lesson and
this one. Returning from the country of
the Gerasenes, across the lake to Caper -
slam, . Jesus was welcomed by a great
multitude who had heard of his mar.
velous works. Shortly afterward he
raised from the dead the daughter of
Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue (Mark
5. 21.43), after the account of which we
should doubtless insert into Luke's
narrative the stories of the healing of
the two blind men and of the dumb de-
moniac told in Matthew 9. 27-34. The
rejection. at Nazareth reported in Matt.
13. 54-58 and Mark 6. 1-6 was doubtless
a second event similar to but not iden-
tical with the rejection at Nazareth re-
corded in Luke 4. 16-30, the former be-
longing apparently to the. earlier part of
his ministry. This second rejection at
the hands of his own townsmen at
Nazareth was followed by a preaching
tour (the fourth, or rather the third con-
tinued) in Galilee (Mark 6. 6; Matt. 9.
35); and the sending of the twelve on
their . first independent mission tour
(Mark 6. 7-13; Matt. 10. 1-34; Luke 9.
1-6). It was upon the return of the twelve
from this tour that word was brought
to Jesus by the disciples of John the
Baptist of their master.
John the Baptist is called Elijah
(Matt. 3. 3), the forerunner of Christ
(Ise. 40. 3; Mal. 3. 1), "a burning and a
shining light (John 5. 35). He was a
son of Zacharias and Elisabeth, of the
priestly tribe (Luke L 5); preached and
baptized in the wilderness (Matt. 3. 1,
Luke 3. 2); baptized Jesus (Matt. 3. 13);
reproved Herod An.tipas (Matt. 14. 4;
Mark 6. 18); was beheaded by Herod and
hurled by his disciples (Matt. 14, 10-12).
Jesus calls him the greatest among those
born of women (Matt. 11. 11; Luke 7.
28). a
Verse 14. Herod -Herod Antipas, the
tetrarch of Galilee. His official residence
was at Tiberias, on the southwestern
shore of the lake.
15. Elijah -The prophet Malachi had
-foretold the return of Elijah : "Behold I
will send you Elijah the prophet before
the great and terrible day of Jehovah
come (Mal. 4. 5)."
Others said -The fame of both Jesus
and John the Baptist was widespread,
the opinions concerning both were di-
verse. -
A prophet, even as one of the pro-
phets -A prophet, yet not an ordinary
prophet, but one of the great and well-
known ancient, prophets.
16. John is risen -Even so wicked- a
man as Herod could not ,escape the
compunctions of a guilty conscience,
and it was natural for him, with this
consciousness of guilt resting upon his
mind, to behold in any and every pure
and holy man and worker of miracles
the reembodineent of this same John
whom Ile bad caused to be beheaded.
17. The remaining verses, 17-29, are
really parenthetical to the main narra-
tive of Mark. They are inserted to ex-
plain the allusions to Herod's fancy and
fear mentioned in verses 14-16.
Bound him in prison -Probably in the
dismal dungeon of the Castle Machaerus,
known also- as the "Black Fortress,"
and situated on the eastern coast of the
Dead Sea, one of the palaces of Herod.
Herodias, his brother Philip's wife-
She was also the niece of both her hus-
band's, being the daughter of Aristo-
hulus, another of the sons of Herod the
Great. As Gould has pointed out : "The
marital relations of the Herodian family
were a most extraordinary mixture,
though belonging to the general license
of the age. This is one of the places
where the gospels bring us into contact
with the Gentile world, the Herodians
being Gentile in their extraction and
spirit, though nominally Jews in their
religion, and the note of that Gentile
world was open vice and profligacy,
while of the Jewish leaders it was hypo-
eris21y." •

time it meant just what our word plat-

elaborate white gown of lace' for th

satin foundation and accompanied bz
the little lace coat,
A new model for such a lace gow

is made to shape in one cleverly curved
piecetitan's, cutaway, but is really an odaA
with medallions of sheer hand
embroidered linen adorning the iron
curves, and also placed upon the top o
each short sleeve. The coat edges an
sleeves, trimmed with curved motifs o
Richelieu plaited Valenciennes lace,
illustrate the prevailing taste for Inc
combinations and show the value of
simple lace like Valenciennes to bran
out the fuller beauty of the heavier lac
which it frames.
But lace gowns do not occupy all o
fashion's favor, prominent as they ar
this season. Chiffon cloth, a more sim
ple and • yet most effective material,
very much in demand. It is. now bein
shown in printed paterns, only :a gow
length of each, with wide, self -colored!
flower bands; these are ` already copie
in mousselines, organdies and mulls
Built over linings of contrasting color
they produce a gown of strikingly har
monious-.and artistic beauty.
Nets in any of the plain pastel shade
remain favorites and are still very goo
style, This is not to be wondered at
for there are few materials as sheer an
fluffy that retain their freshness as Ion
and as well.
An old friend in a new and vastly im =line guise is a kind of line tha
has taken to itself the virtue of bein
moisture -proof; that is, it stands ser
vice without crushing and matting
with the first change of the barometer
Since there is.no material so airy as'
maline, it is natural that this new
practical form of it should lead to i
very general use in piety frocks for
debutantes and i in bridesmaid desmoid and flow
er girl costumes. It is most successful)
combined with heavier nets, being ap
plied in the form of full ruches, band
ing skirt and bodice at intervals and ar
wide ruche -edged sash attached to a:
folded girdle. Double ruffles shirred
through the centre formed an effective
trimming to a bridesmaid frock of or
gandie printed in huge tea roses, th
new material being of 'the deepest ros
shade. -
Vellings showing revivals of thesomewhatold
round, thread -woven meshes, somewhat
resembling •-grenadines, are quite new
and wonderfully pretty. They will take
any amount of fluffy trimming, as a
new Francais model of coral veiling
evidences. It is made over black and
white striped louisine, with the veiling
appliqued with panels of Richelieu*
plaited point d'esprit, finished with deep
coral -colored velvet ribbon. The bodice,
bouffant with more of the point
d'esprit plaitings, ' is prettily strapped
with velvet ribbons to suggest the sus.,
pender motif already becoming a favor-
ite finish for high girdled gowns.
For semi -dress the latest Parisian idea
shows a white Irish lace blouse, the
lower edge of which is annlied flatly
upon the outside of the high, folded silk
girdle which accompanies the silk, sun-
ray plaited skirt. The lace is not
brought to a straight edge, but tacked in
graceful points in - such fashion as to.
dispose effectually of, the straight top
line of the girdle so displeasing to many.
In .all cloth suits the lighter color ef-
fects are tuned to harmonize with the
advent of warmer days.; They are shown
in light tan, gray and cream -colored
henriettas, serges, English mohairs and
Other lightweight cloths. So soft are
these fabrics that some sort of facing is
necessary in the skirls, and thin hair -
cloth is used to good advantage, as it
holds its shape perfectly with the least
possible weight. A slight stiffening of
this same hairclotil is used to good ads
vantage upon the edge of the loose little
straight -front coats and again for the
proper niaintenanoe of,the velvet -faced
collars and cuffs.
Another new feature which these light
cloth suits repeat is the dainty coat lin-
ing of all-over embroidered lawn or
batiste, seen earlier in the season upon
a few of the dark sills street suits sent
from France. Apart from the attractive-
ness of the idea lies a practical side, foe
these linings are merely lightly tacked
to the coat with ribbon -run heading.
and can be removed at will for cleans-
ing purposes.
There's many another suggestion con,.
tamed in the present broad trend of
style that could be evolved from scraps
of past fineries. A good.idea was
worked out on an after -Easier sailor
hat of fine white straw. Around ite
crown was wound" a long disused flat
Chain or necklace of fine violet and
green beads, sewn to a foundation of
cream -dotted Chantilly lace. The violet
note repeated itself in a cluster of
Marie Louise violets hugging three small'
pink roses within its bunched Centre.
