, classes, dangers will bring their own defenses. The churches have work to do of the highest order in maintain- ing ideals of character and in pro- viding such a moral and social atmosphere that all artificial dis+ tinctions shall be disY@garded in 5 the lifeof thechurch. Thechurch can make it appear that the poor wise. man deserves as much honor for his wisdom as the rich wise man. The church can make the ideals of manhood supreme in the education of the young, and make it seém natural and proper that every one should have honor ac- cording to his deserts, and to the service he 1s able and willing to render to his fellows. Let the church be faithful to its own ideals and symbols, and its members need fear no separation of classes nor any supremacy of wealth or mo- nopoly of privileges:in American life-—Christian Register. aaa a Scalp Removed. A case that is attracting unusual interest throughout the medical fraternity is that of Miss Elizabeth Bennett, daughter of Archibald Bennett, a pioneer business man of Latrobe, Pa. Miss Bennett was the victim of an accident that oc- curred at the Latrobe steam laun- dry last-April. She was standing beside an open window directly un- derneath the’shafting when a gust of wind blew her hair against the rapidly revolving shaft, and her scalp was stripped from her head.

So long as classes re- sult from the natural grouping of individuals, with no fixed and per- manent barriers to prevent the passage from one class to another, weare simply following the method v-of nature, and shall probably nev- er change it. The trouble begins 5 when the class, as in India, hardens i into the caste, with rigid barriers, or, as in Europe, into ranks of no- bility with’ fixed and heritable titles; with privileges and estates bi entailed: and transmitted only to definitely described persons.

Robert Smith, a pamter at the Washoe smelter, Anaconda, was severely injured on thé 31st by falling from a ladder while engaged at his work. A colony of Dunkards talk of settling near Kalispell. They ure thrifty, law abiding people, and the Kalispell people should encour- age them.

Those through whose hands the wealth of the world is passing can divert but little of it from the uses of the people at large. Wealth must be kept in motion, else it becomes unfruitful.

Mrs. Peter Swizel, of Marion, Indiana, 20 years old, deserted her husband who is 60, and her baby who is 2 years old. She was a sis- ter of Swizel’s first*wife, who died when she was a small child.
