FAMOUs MINE PETERING OUT.

Mount Morgan in Australia Changing Prom Gold to Copper.

For years the Mount Morgan Mining Company of Australia has been paying a monthly dividend of $145, 000 on its stock. The shareholders have thus far received nearly $25, 000,000 in dividends. A great change has come to pass, however, and it will interest all who have known Mqunt Morgan as the most wonderful gold mine in the world. Prof. J. W. Gregory, who occupies the chair of geology in the University of Glasgow, issued a book on Australia, which is partly the result of his extended studies in that continent for several years. He says that the gold of Mount Morgan has been decreasing in quantity and that the mountain is rapidly changing Into a low copper proposition. The company is preparing now to extract the copper values, for it Is believed that the history of Mount Morgan as a great gold producer Is practically closed. Mount Morgan Is In the southeastern part of Queensland. It Is a curious fact that long ago the poor herder named Gordon who owned it and sold it for a pittance told the purchasers that he had observed curious green and blue stains all over the mountain and he would not be surprised if it contained copper. His surmise has proved true at last, but the experienced prospectors who found gold there did not tell Gordon of the indications that fairly startled them and he gladly accepted their offer of $5 an acre for the land. Gordon died In poverty but he lived long enough to know the value of the prise that had slipped through his hands. The Morgan brothers, who purchased the mountain, let four other men into the enterprise and five years later each of the six men was a millionaire. The stock has remained in comparatively few hands and the mine has made a fortune for every one concerned In It. The army of miners working the mine has usually numbered about 1,200. The richest gold deposits were found at the top of the mountain and until the top had been quarried away the dividends amounted to more than $500,000 a month. The ore decreased considerably In the value of its gold, but later It remained for years almost uniform in richness and It was thought likely that the entire mountain would be worth digging away. Recently, however, as the level of operations has been lowered, less gold has been extracted and now the gold has largely disappeared and copper has come Into view. With copper supplanting the precious metal Mount Morgan will no longer be known as one of the richest spots on the globe.

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM.

Elaborate Ceremony Attending First Cutting of a Boy’s Hair. One of the most ancient and curious customs among the Chinese, and one rarely commemorated In this country, was observed with great pomp and clrcumstanoe In Chinatown recently, says the San Francisco Chronicle,, when Fong Hock, a leading merchant who for years has had the supervision of the Chinese discounts in the Anglo-Californian Bank of San Francisco, entertained his relatives to a remote degree with a magnificent banquet in honor of the first putting of the hair of his only son. The banqut took place at an Eighth street restaurant and there were 150 guests. A notable feature was the" fact that the wives and children of the gueets sat down at the same table with the* heads of families. A most elaborate menu, comprising birds’ nest soup, steam stuffed duck, Foon Yon Ha, shark's fins and other costly Celestial dishes were served. The banquet cost the happy father SI,BOO. During the evening quite a number of prominent members of the San Francisco clearing house called at the restaurant to offer their felicitations to him. The hair cutting ceremony, which was observed with picturesque rites, symbols that Fong Hock’s heir is now a factor in the family. The guests brought presents for the little son worth thousands of dollars.

Longevity of Anls.

Ants are really very long lived, considering their minuteness. A naturalist had two queens under observation for ten yean and one of Sir John Lubbock's ant pets lived into her 15th year. Ants are very tenacious of life after severe Injury. Following loss of the entire abdomen they sometimes live two weeks and in one case a headless ant, carefully decapitated by aseptic surgery, lived for forty-one days. A carpenter ant after being submerged eight days in distilled water came to life upon being dried, so that they are practically proof against drowning. They can live long periods without food; in one case the fast lasted nearly nine months.

GOD’S STANDARD IS PERFECTION

Christian Must Develop Ghar-actor-Likeness to Christ.

The Desire For H arm ony With God a Part of Man's Original Perfection. Some Naturally Drawn to God'—Faith the First Step—Consecration the Second Step—Then Growth In Grace and Knowledge—Lessons In ths School of Christ —Justice' the Foundation of Character—Love Must Be the Superstructure.

Scriptures explicitly declare that our Creator made man in His own image and pronounced him very good. A part of our first parents’ perfection was their desire for harmony with God; but after Adam’s disobedience they were cut off from Divine fellowship—as a part of the penalty of sin. This alienation from their Creator was doubtless a most grievous trial. As centuries rolled on and Adam’s posterity became more and more de praved, the original character-likeness to God became indistinct. In some the desire for God is so feeble that they are easily satisfied by pleasure or by sensuality. Many are separated from God through ignorance, superstition and the doctrines of demons, as the Bible declares. Misunderstanding our gracious Creator, they are driven away, and blinded by “the god of this world.” Then the Pastor showed that with some of the race the desire for God and righteousness has prevailed above the stupefying Influence of the world, the flesh and the Devil. This class are drawn by the natural inclination of their minds Godward, and are in a fa vorable condition to hear God’s voice speaking peace to them and pointing them to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life. The Call of the Gospel Age. Next the Pastor pointed out from Scripture the first two steps to be taken by those who desire to come back into harmony with God. The first step is that of faith in Jesus as their Redeemer. Those who desire to take it must recognize that they are sin ners, that Jesus’ death on Calvary was sacrificial, and that Its grand outcome will be the establishment of the Mes sianic Kingdom for uplifting mankind out of sin and death conditions. Those who have sufficient faith to take the first step may then take the second—consecration. After they have presented their all in sacrifice—time, talent, wealth, etc.—then our Lord Im putes to them individually His merit, thus making them holy and acceptable to God, who immediately begets them of His Holy Spirit to a new nature Thenceforth they are New Creatures, to whom “old things have passed away and all things become new.” But there are imperfections of the flesh, which may occasionally crop out. These the New• Creature must promptly notice, for the New Creature is the new will, which henceforth regulates the body. The Pastor fears that some Chris tians have not realized what a contract they have on band. All the consecrated, he declared, must remember that their first obligation is to subdue them selves. While any may give valuable suggestions to others, yet the responsibility for the body rests with each as a New Creature. Some are imperfect in one direction, others in another. “There is none righteous [none perfect].” The New Creatures In School. Then the Pastor showed that those whqm God has begotten of His Holy Spirit as New Creatures enter the School of Christ for character-develop-ment. There they must grow in grace, knowledge and love. As St. Paul explains, they must be mentally trans formed, made ready for the Kingdom of God. Thereafter matters are to be decided, not according to their own preferences, but according to the principles of justice and love—by rules altogether different from those that formerly regulated them. Everything done by those in the School of Christ must be squared by the Rule of Justice, the speaker continued. Many of the Lord’s people evl dently have not fully realized that they must practise the Golden Rule to the full extent of ihelr ability. Failure on the part of-some to recognize this principle, be declared, has caused the way of the Lord to be spoken evil of sometimes. If a Christian fails to pay bls debts or is careless as to bow be involves himself, it is because this principle of justice does not stand out prominently enough before his mind If as an old creature be has habitually Ignored the lines of justice and shirked responsibilities, this will not do for him as a New Credture. The cultivation of the principles of justice In act. word and thought must be the Christian's dally concern. Whoever thinks unjustly will act unjustly, tn spite of himself. The New Creature must always think of others calmly, without prejudice, giving them the benefit of every doubt

HANGING GROVE

The first diploma examination was held at the Banta school house Saturday, Miss Ethel Parker held the examination. There were several applicants. Court was held at the home of Roy Busisell in McCoysburg Thursday afternoon, in which the case of Hardebaek vs. George Kauffman was tried. ‘ Squire Bussell was unahlc to hold eourt at his home on account of a number of the family having mumps. It was a jury trial and the jurors were as follows; Washington Cook, M. L. Ford, Charles Erb, A. Williamson, Geo. Parker and Warren Poole. The defense was not represented by an attorney but was compelled to plead his own case, his lawyer having failed to show up at all. The plaintiff was represented by Mose Leopold. The case is the outgrowth of some trou'b'le the plaintiff is having to put the defendant off his farm west of Pleasant Ridge. The argument lasted about two hours and was then given to the jury. They were out an hour or more before a verdict was reached. The verdict was in favor of the plaintiff, giving him right of possession at once. The trial drew quite a large crowd. G. W. Infield was in McCoysburg Saturday night taking steps to eject some unsatisfactory tenants. J. J. Lawler is unloading a number of carloads of tile on the former McAffee farm, and expects to get them all put in this season. H. E.

Mrs. Arthur Stewart is some better and it is now thought an operation will not be necessary. The new Monon train schedule which went into effect Sunday, March 22nd, will again cause some inconvenience. Trains Nos. 15 and 16 were very handy for our people and will be missed greatly. No. 40, the morning milk train, arrives at 8:21 now instead of 7:21, and will be a little late for those -going to school, especially if it happens to be late. This will also make the departure of the rural route mail one hour later. Rev. and Mrs. R. K. Sutton took supper with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Stultz Sunday evening. The church services at McOoysburg will begin at 7:30 hereafter instqpd of 7 o’clock. The Sunday Schools will give an Easter program at McCoysburg Sunday evening, April 12th. Since the federal law came into effect it is said the wild ducks and geese coming to Lake county seem to know they are safe and already are comparatively tame by not being continually chased and shot by hunters. The game wardens are on the job and a story sayis a man in Porter county who shot a goose this spring had to pay several dollars for each pound of goose he got and the “high cost of living” was not curtailed. It is said the Kankakee country south of the riven - now abounds in game, and as there is no shooting it seems like Sunday. William Maroon! reiterated his prediction in London Friday that he would be able to telephone across the Atlantic in the near future—possibly within six months.
