ber a year from a forest to Siberia, 900

Every year timber Cruisers are going
further afield and cutting trees which,

passed because of the inaccessibility of
the forest. A•leantttne somebody hos

to a recent colonial report of the survey,
it is 287 miles long ,by eight broad, anti,

a height between 6,000 and 9,000 feet

the total value is 8115,000,000.

Is in 010 extent to which It goes out to
the fnteresis of other lives, the extent
to which sympathy is cultivated and in-
telligent service Ls 1'endetled where it
Is most needed.
The difference between the wise and
the ignorant is in the range of the
knowledge, the expertonce, and lite In-
terests which each La able to use. The
difference between the great life and
tic little ono Ls similar; the former
ands nothing foreign to hent; the latter
tluliis Iiia horizon usually by living
wholly for himself.
If you desire greatness only for your
own sake, Indeed, it you ateo•thtnicing
of either greatness or of yourself you
never will find It. Tho lives that have
been flung away in sublime abandon,
those that have poured themselves out
In answer to love's imperative are those
that have found the full life.
Selfishness is the saddest sin, the
one that seems to underly almost MI
others. It. blights with its first breath
nil the fair flowering and rich fruitage
of any life that yields to U. It compels
04 to lose our legitimate prizes by
snatching greedily et all the prizes; 11
insures, pain by leading us to seek
ONLY OUR 0\VN PLEASUTIE.

that the lift has only one end, its own
advantage, every action but one Jllo-
tive, personal advantage, and console
ence asks but one question, What do
I mice by this?
If in every act, in every hour you
are thinking first or only of yourself;
if you have adopted the policy of car-
ing for "number ono" as the guiding
prinetplo in life, you may make money,
you even may make a reputation, but
there are some other things you will
not make, sorne other things your
mercy Carnot buy nor your reputation

will not mnice joy or life or an endur-

diates, gives out, reaches its iutereets,
thoughts and helpfulness to ever widen-

the passion to insure the individual's
soul against some dreaded punishment,
01` to secure to the individual some pe-
culiar pease or joy. The surest way
lit miss any such blessings Is to sock
Bleat for themsolvee and for ourselves
alone.
Ile who lets others into his life en-
larges thus his own. Ile who opens
the doors of his heart to the needy, the
lonely, tate sad, the mourning, finds
that as they bring In their sorrows and
their tears fair [lowers of joy spring up
about hint, the cheer he gives them be-
come en greater measure his awn, and
the love ho gives away becomes his
choicest possession.
The man who went about doing good,
'who had no thought save for the needs
and cares of others, is the one who,
above all others, found the full and
satisfying life. He who knew so well
the way of life called on no man to
save his own soul, uttered no shrewd
precepts of self-preservation, but taught
by a lite of self -giving the secret of full
!Luing.
There 15 only one way to discover
whether this philosophy is best or not,
try it for a while. Try thinking of the
helpless, planning pleasures for drum),
lives, bearing some loads for weak end

2. During supper—From John 13. 29,
and 18. 28, it seems evident that the
fourth evangelist wishes specifically to
d stinguish this supper from the regular
Passover feast, which on the day of
crucifixion was still to be eaten. Mat-
thew, Mark, and Luke, however, ail
apealc of this meal, for which duo and
special preparation had been made, es
the regular Passover feast (compare
Matt. 20. 17-30; Mark 14. 12d26; Luke
22 7-30). Perhaps the key to a cermet
understanding of these apparently di-
vergent statements is to be found in the
words of Jesus recorded by Luke:
have desired toeat this passover with
you before I' suffer: for I say unto you,
I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in
Use kingdom of God" (Luke 22. 15, 16)
—the legatee Passover being thus anti
dilated by ono day, since Jesus ]cnety
that on tete morrow he m11st suffer and
The devlt having alrendy put into the
heart of Judas—This fact is here Intro-
duced to explain the subsequent refer-
ence to the betrayer. It also serves es
a background for a further reference to
one Lord's magnanimity and loge,
our Lord's magnanimity and love.
3. From God . unto God — Both
phrases aro emphatic from their post-
tion In the sentence.
4. Riseth from the supper—,Before tba
meat was oompletecl, as is clear from
verses 12, 25, and 26 below. Perhaps
the disagreement among the disciples
concerning which of 1110111 should be
"accounted to be greatest"' (Luke 22,
241 prompted Jesus to interrupt the
course of the meat in order to settle
forever this question by his example of
humble and humiliating service.

BUCCANEERS' TREASURE. .
Revealed by the Sea on the Portuguese
Coast.
Treasure-trove secreted by Portuguese
buccaneers in bygone days has been re-
vealed near the seaside village of Para-
delha in a remarkable manner. The vil-
lage is being slowly washed away by the
action of the sea and buildings have been
undermined from. time to time.
A storm of more then usual severity
swept the coast the other day, and a
portion of the foreshore at Paradelha
was washed away. According to The
Secolo, treasure of various kinds was
thus exposed b the astonished fishermen,
who first believed 111at'it had been sent
to them miraculously.
There were many (ancient gold and
silver doubloons, jewelled crosses, finger
rings of quaint antique pattern, ear -rings,
gold and silver medallions, portions of
silver censers, and other fragments of
church plate.
All the people in the region hurried to
the spot, armed with picks and spades,
and have sines been digging feverishly
for treasure. Some of then have been
rewarded with further discoveries. Ons
mean secured gold coins vahted at 11180.
All the male inhabitants have deserted
their work, and none of the fishermen
'hos left port since the first discovery was
made.
T'ite Portuguoso buccaneers who har-
ried the Spanish Main were in the habit
or burying their booty along 1110 oast,
and the tr'easur'es unearthed et Pam -
dense undoubtedly form a portion of one
of their hoards.

glanced about the room, There seas
everything to be done.
"Could you fill the lamps?" she ven-
tured,
"I oan thatl" and Ilse lamp was seized
ie a stout embrace. Then, with the
air of ono wishing ,above all else to
suit the possible whims of a new em-
ployer, rho paused and asked:

NATIVE SILVER FINDS
The new maps ere out of thoMonlreal

show a.pptoximatety 4100 native silver
ands, which is considered a very much
better showing than woe made in Cole-
man toeibsbip, at a similar stage of
ciovcioptnent. A particularly good
showing was made last year on the
west stele of the river in 'tile southeast
corner of James township,' where the
lucky Godfeey syndicate has six veryva-
ll:abbe claims. A and made on one of
these claims last November has lust been
made known, A meeting of the Lucky
Codfrey syndicate is -being called at
once to orange for the development of
the property and probably to lake oula
corload of ore, which can be bagged from
the surface on the big new vein dis-
covered last November, and which is
from six to eight inches in width of
solid metal, smallite and n101001it0 and
native silver. 1t is calculated that be-
fore the end of 1908 there will be equally
as many stripping minor in James lown-
sbip'and surrounding districts as there
are in the township of Coleman at pre-
sent. This calculation is based upon
active development work being carried
on on the veins which show shipping ore
on the surface.

capitalists in Bh'i lingham, Ala. Jos.
eph Heeley, an experienced mining man
(run Idaho, and who had charge of the
properly under the former owners, Is
now In charge. At a distance of 200
feet from the main shaft, a narrowvein
rich in native silver was found on the
surface, a cross -cut will be run from the
the main shaft at the 150 -foot level to
lap this vein, and it is hoped shipping
ono will be found. Superintendent
Leysen of the Townsite, shipped a car-
load of oro this week to Dolore, and
left on Wednesday night to lento after

Bowes of bone were made sometimes
of sections of the rib of large anlmulu,
spliced and glued together, and were
usually backed by sinew. Those of the
antler of the elle were sometlines iii a
single piece and at other times in SW -
lions, bevelled at tho ends and neatly
glued end spliced. Bows of horn were
erten mudo 0f several pieces similarly
glued end spliced, but the horns of the
mountain shop were sometimes cut In-
to long slender rods, which were laid
together, glued, and backed by sinew.
SHEEP HORN 'BOWS.
Another type of sheep horn bow was
in a single piece, the horn being cut
in a spiral front base of horn to point,
this spiral being steamed or boiled and
then straightened and caused to dry,
straight, Bows such as those were un.
usual, but they were also very power-
ful and never wore out. On the other
hand, it is said that bows made of bone
cr of antler were more for show than
for use. -They were good to look at,
and for a time were effective, but after
a few years became dry and brittle.
Next to the bow, and, in fact, so
much a part of it that it cannot be sep-
arated from it, is the arrow, a oom-
piex implement the development of
which we may lmag(ne to have been
very slow and which no doubt was
well advanced toward its present form
before the bow was thought of. Wo
may fancy the arrow to be the out-
growth ora simple stabbing instrument,

thrown, similar to certain toys still in
use among the children of our plains

MAKING THE AnnoW.
The arrow consisted of three essential
parts, the lead, the shaft and the fea-
thers. Sometimes the shaft was oom-

,piece of wood. The ,primitive head
was very varied. The feathering is
comparatively a modern invention, so
much so that to -day traditions exist as
to its development and tate various
steps toward tine improved feathering
of modern tunes are given.
Even within the lest forty or fifty
years the children among our self -der
tribes have employed very primitive
forms of arrows, using in their hunting
