SIKHS TEMPLE IS
ERECTED III TANK
HCLY EDIFICE STANDS IN POOL
IN CENTER OF INDIAN CITY
OF AMRITSAR.
Greatest Fighting Creed of Hindu
Ricei Had Odd Origin.
Ihe city of Ainn:.-ir ia Uiiii.-h lv.-i
dla I thi rtilgions center of tli Sili
talth.and a& 5'ich it gains p hlsli de
cree Clt intent: end dls'iiutit.n. The
Sikhs are koywn all over the Kriii.sli
fraplr? s the lest of ilie native In
dian fighting men. They Lave dune
loal senile on every battlefield
nbere Knglaad h:is tailed on her ua
tlve troop, ituii they are iurnenly
proud of their record aud tlieir fitln
tag ubli'y. They sre perhaps th
most militant peoyle in lie world.
The city Amritsar was built by the
Sikh?, to serve as iKltdqwteis .f
tlieir church. The iia'ie itself sigtd
' fe "Pool of lmiunit j'.ity" In refer
ence to the great tuti in the center or
the town. Ju this tank Is an iMaml.
and on the island stands the HoI!hi
Temple of Anirliwtr, which is hi the
Sikhs what Solomon's te.i.pio wn ii
the ancient Jews, and what the Tomb
of tbe Trophet is to the "Mcbammi dan
today. The Golden temple is n called
on account of it burnished, copper
dome that Rleams with a dull flame in
the fierce Indian sun. Beneath It, the
holy men, or (turns, of the sifchs ex
pound the nacred books. These riiius
are old men. and the fight'ins Sikh
pay them all devotion, hu' his rent
veneration Is for the sword.
Tbe origin of the Sikhs is a (torn! In
dication of the kind of men they aie.
Tbe creed had it? birth In compara
tively recent times, when the Punjab
H chafing tinder the heavy hand of
the Mongol coniinerots. A certain
man of pugnacious temper grew
weary of the oppression and decided
to raise a ssmall band to ficht tor
freedom. He drew his sword and
atood shouting in the market plnc.
callinR for volunteers, The people
thought be wor mad, and feared him.
but at last, another fmhtins man, tired
of pervilude, volunteered.
The fir-1 man concealed him in a
gpcret place, and returned to the
market place pfler smeaiinc himself
with the fresh blond of a sheep I
Again he called for volunteers, but
.the people thought he had killed the
first one, and fled. Hut at lat he got
another volunteer. Again be con
cealed him: again he smeared himseir
with blood; again he called for re
emits. - By thia system he only got
those who thought they were going to
rprtflln death, nnd did not fear It.
When be had collected a dozen men
by thia system be put himself at their
brad and they sallied forth to rout
the Moslem oppressors.
Thus tbe Sikhs had their origin In
battle, and In battle they have main
tained thtnifcetves ever since. They
furnish today some of the most loyal
troops in the British empire.
BAYEAUX TAPESTRY IS
BOTH ART AND HISTORY.
Give Striking Picture of the Faroff
Days.
The Bayeaux tapestry Is one of the
most interesting bits of combined art
and history In the world. It furnishes
a striking picture of the life and spirit
of the far-off days in which it was
worked. The French treasure it above
all their other historical relics, end
the world admits that it cannot tie
prized too highly. Volumea have been
written In attempts to prove that it
was worked ten years earlier or ten
years later than the usually accepted
date.
The tapestry is a thin scroll of lin
en, over 20D feet long and nineteen
' inches wide. Down the Immense
length of it. Is worked with an un
equalled combination of patience and
art the history of William the Nor
man in his conquest of England, with
a few events from contemporary his
tory thrown in for good measure.
It in supposed to have been worked
under the personal direction of the
wife of the conqueror, by noble ladies
of the realm an Interesting sidelight
on the life of the women of that time,
for the tapestry is obviously the re
sult of years of labor. The work was
done by laying threads of colored
worsted side by side to form the de
signs and figures, and these threads
are bound down by cross stiches on
the background of fine linen. With
this crude method for delineating line
and color, results of high artistic
merit were produced. I
The tapestry Is kept in a toll, and
he who is fortnnate enough to have
it unrolled for his benefit will note
that the first few feet and the last
have been harshly dealt with by time,
so that the design Is scarcely deci
pherable. But only a few feet from
tho beginning Is a portrait, of William
himself that is well preserved. The
long story Is told down 200 feet or
linen with a wealth of detail, and
above and below a border of alle
gorical designs, whose exact signifi
cance is slill disputed,
It la certainly a piece of work rep
resenting Infinite care and labor, nnd
one can only hope that the ladies
whose husbands were away subduing
the Hhxoii found some enjoyment In
the task.

Alaskan Miners Use Wind to Do

In Alaska and throughout tbe more

practically unknown. Tin- miners do
their own housekeeping anil their o ti
laundering.
A cylinder about thirty inches long
and of ihe same diameter as the he:nt
of the churn is first constructed uf
heavy galvanized iron. One end of
this cylinder is left open and t be
head of the churn is fastened to I he
open end The cylinder is then care
balanced in the chum ami the churn
beatiliKs are fastened on -with rivet
and solder to make them watertight.
Two inehes of galvanized wire of
one inch inesli ate thn made. One
of them is suspended from the mov
able head by one-quarter inch ya!
vanized iron rods nnd the other fas
tened to the cylinder, so that the two
ne about ten inches apart in the
middle of the c Under. The clothes
are confined between the two screens.
The water surges back and forth
through them until they are lean, or
as long as the churn Is in motion. A
huge pinwheel attached to the bear
!ngs furnished the turning power.--I'opulur

If the average woman had to rhoose

Figures in a bank statement mean
absolutely nothing unless the manage
ment of the institution is above re
proach. The average business man, in
consulting a bank statement, wouid
not imagine that loans, bonds, securi
ties and circulating notes could be so
easily Juggled with. That is, however,
according to Chalmers Lowell Pan
coast, in The World's Work, an easy
matter if the officials of the bank are
not honest. Chief among the essen
tials or a safe bank. Mr. l'ancoast
mentions honesty and a wide experi
ence in financial affairs. With either
one of these Qualities lacking, the sta
bility of tbe institution Is largely im
paired. Naturally, a business man
wants to deal with a banker who has
character, yet at the same time he
does not have confidence in an honest
hanker unless the man also has wide
experience In financial affairs. Hon
esty and a broad financial knowledge
must go hand in hand; a banker must
be a partner to a business man in
every way possible.
MASSES SHOULD SUPPORT

I .trust that this hunt will meet ft
very wide subscription In mii'ill
amounts. One of the fundamental ele
nientK In the stability of the financial
condition of the French Republic 1st
the fact that the national loans are
taken uji In munll amounts by person
who are utile In that way to put away
their snvlngs with a seiire of entire
security. Such a policy mlopted here
In the first plnce would make ft ims-Bible-for
government loans to he placed
rapidly nnd effectively. In the second
place. It would be n distinct encourage
ment to thrift, providing fl ready nnd
f-nfe Investment for small snvlngs. In
the next place. It stabilizes tbe entire
condition of the republic. Every In
vestor lit the national securities Is
thereby u finmiclnl partner In the titt
tlnnal prosperity. I believe that few
things, therefore, could be more effect
ive for the benefit of the tuition tlmll
th rnpld placing of tbU second Lib
