It is included in the teachings earliest philosophers. It is one of the fundamental doctrines Bible. It is. a spiritual conception of human relationship. It is life in obedience to the things that are unseen. Throughout history men hare been prope to put their trust in other things and have failed. They have sought for power through material alone They have thought it might be gained by the accumulation of great riches. They have attempted to rely on the naked force of armies and navies, conquering by the might of the evrord. J'uit these forces are not the ultimate rulers of mankind. They are nwpwQrv.for security, as police and criminal courts, and bolts and bars arc nmary. They are adjuncts of peace. But they are negative forces. Tliev do iK't create they resist They axe not the ultimate force in the That'll Called. not yet, cannot yet, discard the use of these forces. Jt is significant, however, that the great nations have at last agTeed umiii their limitation. But it is even more significant that civilization is coining to rely more and more upon moral force. It is because the Red Cress has been a practical application of that principle, that it has been ucli a tremendous success. It is this kind of practical idealism that is represented in the history of our country, a deep faith in spiritual things, tempered by a hard common sense adapted to the needs of this world. It has been illustrated in the character of men who planted colonies in the wilderness and raised lip grWt 'states' around' the church and the schoblhbu'se ; who hought their independence with their blood and cast out slavery by the sacrifice of their bravest sons; who offered their lives to give more freedom to oppressed peoples, and who went to the rescue of Europe with their men when their own liberty and the liberty of the world was in peril, but when the victory was secure, retired from the field unincumbered by spoils, independent, unattached and unbought, 6till continuing to contribute lavishly to their relief of the stricken and destitute of the Old World ; and who, but recently being asked for $5,000,000, immediately gave about twice that amount for the afflicted people of Japan.

PHILIP GORDON, Society of American Indians. The highest grade schooLprovided by the government on Indian e school. The government maintains three or reservation's is a four schools outside the reservations which reach the eighth grade, but there is only one school in the country for the Indians which has a high school and commercial courses namely, the Haskell institute at Lawsixth-grad- rence, Kan. The Carlisle college which was formerly at Carlisle, Pa.,, and which is now abolished, although most American citizens have not been advised of that fact, was only an eighth-grad- e school. This school service did good beeause.it had about 1,000 students and from it Btudents went to work among the farmers, attended other schools and many went to Dickinson college and other institutions. But this school was abolished because of American politics, the war being used as an excuse to wipe it out. The commissioner of Indian affairs, during the World war, turned it into a hospital and, though this was during the first year of the war, nothing has been provided in lieu thereof since that time. There are about 25,000 Indian children out of 80,000, who are left completely without even the meager school facilities that the government provides. Yet the government every year appropriates $5,000,000 for Indian education. u yj fl VI - England Is known as Home," and In T II I Scotland Is called "Mell Sup But the giving of per." thanks to some god at the close of the autumn season for the fruits of the earth Is ageless, and can be traced back as far as civilisation goes. In Exodus the Israelites are commanded to keep an autumnal feast, more explicit details for such a feast being given In the book of Leviticus. The feast was to Inst seven days, and on the first day the people were to gather boughs of cedars and willows of the brooks. It may be from thla cnatoui that, the., decoration.. of churches with greens and vegetables arose. mentions this autumn Herodotus custom of thanksgiving, and Homer writes that "cakes and lumps of dough thrown at the head of the sacrificial victim formed a part of the Greek ofat the ferings of Apollo, the sun-gofeast of the Ingathering." In ancient times Apollo received the honors of the harvest festival, but the rustics sacrificed to Vacuna, the goddess. Images of Vacuna were made of straw, wheat, barley and rye, and were carried about with singing and Even In England images cheering. made of straw crowned with flowers are occasionally carried about and called Ceres the goddess of agriculture. Apollo was formerly worshiped In Britain, and the Maypole la a pretty relic of those days. They decorated It with garlands to welcome the northward coming of Apollo the sun at whose appearance the flowers and fruit began to grow. Various euRtoms, all containing the same Idea, have prevailed In different countries. In Scotland, when the reapers have finished their work, a small package of corn, called the "Corn Lady."

In education the improvement of women is marked and rapid. In school, college and university, in popular literature and lectures, this improvement gives reason for mental progress ir both sexes; but tho gain of women is far greater in proportion. From being an almost uneducated class, supposed to have inferior brains, they have moved forward to such easy equality,, in many cases to such superiority, that some now hold that the same courses of our college curricula, earlier considered beyond the power of the "feminine mind," are now "too feminine." This sudden advance in education must be farther distinguished by its having been, made, under heavy opposition. A most interesting record eould be made of this" fact, as proving the weight of masculine prejudice, which so long placed every obstacle in the way of feminine progress, There can be no longer any reasonable doubt as to the equality of the . woman's mind with the man's ability to learn. VjTiether this U acconl-I- o icd by. an equal ability to invent, to create, to make new itepa in the world's advance, cannot be so swiftly established, on account of the litional disadvantages of wt)men.

Instead of the usual method the reapers . cut the straw Just below the heads. It was carried In hags to the thrashing floor, where it was trodden out by oxen. Sometimes the wheat was reaped In the usual way and bound up in sheaves, but oxen were, always employed to separate the wheat from the straw. The chief festivals of the Egyptians, liowewr, were In connection with the overflow of the Nile. The Teutons and Scandinavians offered sacrifices to Frey, the- god of the rain and the sunshine. What Is known as "the shouting of the churn" come down from the time when Apollo was worshiped in England. The churn or kern menus a ring or circle formed by several person holding hands. The word churn also signifies a chaplet worn around the lvei or carried (impended n a pole-Iprecession. So "the shouting of the churn" mean th merriment that always accompanied wearing a chap-le- t or dancing In a circle.

Comparatively few men nowadays combine the dexterity and speed demanded. Faced by the necessity of huvlng to carve, the modern man either shrinks back appalled or takes up the steel with martyrlike resignation, and often with disastrous results. It was not sii in the good old days. A certain Immortal chronicle records that "Mr. Wilkes was very assiduous In helping Iioctor Johnson to some fine veal. Tray give me leave, sir.

The ronst left the dinner table for the sideboard. Perhaps butlers were then both numerous and cheap, or perhaps It was evolution. Mr. Strachey doesn't tell. I5ut no one disputes the fact. The younic Englishman of today finds "the roast beef of Old England" as Invaders did impregnable as would-bher "wooden walls." Yet the act of carving gives to hospitality a certain homeliness, an informality, which nienls served from sideboard or kitchen seem to lark. It Indicates the host's personal Interest in each guest; It carries with It, moreover, a suggestion of unselfishness. While working for others, the carver must perforce forego, temporarily, conversation, banter, repartee. He must concentrate; he must make haste; for the art Is long, the time Is fleeting, and the plates cool. Fortunately, the custom of carving the Thanksgiving turkey at the table has become a fixed part of the day's ritual. That this gracious art Is thus kept from complete disuse, and la.

A Mother's Advice Prevent e Independent What is the lifeblood that keeps industry alive and growing and prosperous? What is the vital fluid which our civilization must have in free supply, or wither and die? To understand the situation clearly we go back to the origin of our governments, and what do we find ? We find that the United States was not founded on a group of people, but on an individual the American citizen. The Constitution, which was drawn and Adopted dk the basic law of our country, was erected from the first word to the last on one single, simple principle. That principle was nothing more than an acknowledgment of the right of every individual to liberty of person, lilwrty of property, and liberty of contract. From this single, simple principle has grown the tremendous industrial civilira-tio- n of our nation today. The foundation of all our greatness is the human individual, and his right to work, play, love, and worship as he will. All our marvelous economic progress, which is the wonder of the world, has been based on the individual, and not on government, as the mainspring of activity. There is no American industry that has been invented and developed and fcuilt up by government. The origin, and life, and growth, and auccess of every business in this country has been in the minds and hearts of individuals. Our nation's greatness grows from private enterprise.
