Neither shalt thou desire
thy nolghbor's wife, neither
shalt thou covet thy neighbor's
house, his field or his mnn-sor-vnnt,
or his maidservant, his ox,
or his nss, or anything that la
thy neighbor's.
T'lAT Is tho last of tho ten great
commandments. Dy most mon
and women It Is also looked
upon as the lenst and thoy disobey It
so easily and bo oftou Hint they hard
ly know when they do It.
A Catholic priest once Mid that
"lie had heard tho contention of ovory
sin In tho decalogue except the sin
of covrtousness: not one among the
thousands who had come to him dur
ing his long ministry to unburden
their souls had admitted desiring the
thing Hint were his neighbor's.
Yot covetousnoss at Home time or
other springs up In tho hearts of
most men nud it lies at the root of
most of tho evil of tho world. Much
of humau unhnppluess may bo trac
ed to covetouBiicss discontent, en
vy, malice, hato, nnd a long catalog
of llko things. CovetousuesH leads
nlso to most of the greater crimes
against tho morn! law, for out of It
grows theft, adultery, and even mur
der. Hut tho most common ovll of cov
fltousnoss llos in tho unhnppluoss It
1r!ngB to mankind. It mnkos of n
-neighbor's larger prosperity n dally
thorn In tho fltnh: It mnkos of n
friend's larger ability dally fuel to
nn envy Hint consumes; It makes of
xi neighbor's Joy a bitter cup that
poisons mind and soul; It finds In
over) thing good and beautiful and
noblit and true that belong to othors
only stlinulous to Inner feelings that
are wrett-ued and bad.
The man who covets forget tho
blessings he has and makes life n
hell for himself as he look only on
what his neighbor posses. Suev
a man's five room cottage become
wretchod because he covets the
sex en room cottage of the mau next
door. Such a mail's old model four
paxseuger motor ear becomes shabby
because he covets the new aeveu pas
ben iter ear of a man on the avenue.
Such a mail's fS.000 a )ear Income
become mUerably small beoaus he
covet the $5,000 lucoino of a rival
In busluesa.
The man who covets not and sees
only the good that Is bin, llnds hap
piness anywhere and ovory whoro.
oven In a hut. More ronl Joy and
thanksgiving may bo found at a poor
man's table at a meal of moro broad
nud potatoes thnu nt a rich man's
feast of choice ments and wluos.
Mon who seek happiness moroly
through the getting of this world's
soods fall, nlwnys, nud make thorn
ve'vos unhappy. That arouses covot
ousuoss anil covetousnoss Is tho
source of ovll, only. "Tako hood
nnd bownro of covotousnosg," says
tho Bcrlpturos; "for a mnn's life
-conslsteth not in tho nbundanco of
things which ho possesseth."
I the admission of Mme. Curio to
tho French Academy of Scien
ces. It has been the rule to admit
no women, which rule Bhuts out this
great woman, the lending scientist of
the century. It might be supposed
that science non.ld not Indulge a pre
judice against n woman who hns
done more than any man of the age
to elevate this department of knowl
edge.
Mine. Curie has done wonders.
She has made a dlscovory that has
changed the very foundations of
chemistry and rivaled Huxley, Tyn
dnll, Faraday In the extent and Im
portance of her Investigations. She
hns divided the atom into parts, and
found In those partB the most won
derful properties of matter, that have
given to substance a new meaning
nnd to all science a new vision.
And yet because she Is a woman
she cannot be admitted Into the aca
demy. Well, If that Is the sort of
Institution the academy Is, Mme.
Curie Is honored more by keeping
out of It. It can give her no distinc
tion. Her name will shine in history
when the members of the academy
have faded Into oblivion.

the world, of their kind lends added
Interest to the news that n probable
epoch-making ship of large dimen
sions has been ordered by the Hamburg-American
line. For tho first
time, as far ns tho German marine Is
concernod, the steam boiler nnd ex
ternal chimneys will be eliminated
and explosive engines substituted for
steam engines. The vessel is to be
S.000 tons, and therefore sufllclently
large to test hopes In regnrd to the
new explosive engine type upon
which tho success or failure of this
experiment will turn.
Lenoir, tho first builder of tho ex
plosive engine, was quick to perceive
Its advantages for shlp-propelllng
purposes, nnd he built one In n
boat, but whllo ninny nnd rnthor
large gns onglnoa for mnrlne pur

has beon Impossible until now to ob

security for lnrgo Hhlps, nnd the ap

swift traveling craft. The advantages
of the oll-burnlng vossol have been
such that their partial realization
has been nttnlncd In many Instances
by firing steam boilers with oil.

SAX PEDRO Is rapidly becoming
ono of Coos Day's best lumber
mnrkets, nud it is interesting to
note tho growth of that port, as In
dicated by tho forestry service. San
Pedro, a uamo almost unknown cast
of tho Mississippi, Is today ono of
the biggest lumber recolvlug porta of
tho country. Tho gnzctteers of eight
years ago assigned less than four
linos of description to San Pedro. It
was described as "ft bay and inlet of
tho Pacific ocoan, In California, 105
miles southeast of Santn Unrbarn, 33
degreeH. IS mluutos north." That
was all. Today it Is known as the
ocean port for the immoube horticul
tural and commercial activity that
centers about Lo Angeles.
San Pedro's custom house figures
show receipts last J ear of over 500,
000.000 board feot of lumber. This
was largely redwood. Douglas flr
and yellow pine, brought In by coast
vessels from the forests of the North
west. According to the department
of commerce and labor. New York's

Ciilrn received by water, for the

Sso.orto.000 feet of all kinds or lum

nearly SO. 000. 000 feet; Cleveland,

llttlo over 00,000,000 feet. The ar
rivals of rodwood pine and flr nt all
tho ports of Snn Francisco bay total
od 000.000.000 foot.
The lumber arrivals at San Pedro
nre suggestive of tho romnrknbly rap
id development, not only of Southern
California, but nlso of tho Inland
Southwest. Tho fruit-growing sec
tion of Southern California consumes
much lumber, most of which Is cut
full thousand miles to tho north,
but Orogon lumber Is nlso distribut
ed by rail from Southern California
to many Inland points. Despite the
cost of tbo long ship transit added to
west coast states, or from tho east,
can be successfully met at several of
these points by the oceanland-rnll
route shippers.
T"he lumber business of the match
less forests of the Northwest has
been fighting ngnlnst great odds In
the Mississippi valley nnd eastern
mnrkets because of tho cost of trans
portation. "In the Pacific coast sta
tes, which contain so large a part of
the total stand of nntionnl forest tim
ber," says the foreBter of the United
States department of agriculture, in
his annual report, "sales arc made
only when a fair prlco Is offered and
only under restrictions which safe
guard the future welfare of the for
est. Doth these conditions tend to
restrict sales In n region where tim
ber Is at present bo abundant and so
cheap. The opening of the Pnnama
canal will of Itself almost revolution
ize the situation. Cuttings which
cannot now be made In the best way
for tho welfare of the forest, be
cause only the relatively high grades
of timber can be sold, will then be
practicable under much more favor
ablc conditions."

STORY FOR THE DAY.
Mother Love.
Tho late William Jamos, Harvard's
famous phychologlst, would often II
lumlnnto a misty subject with an ap
propriate anecdote, says tho Wash
ington Star.
DUcuBslug motherhood in n lec
ture on psychology, Professor James
onco said:
"A teachor askod n boy this ques
tion In fractions:
" 'Suppose that your mother baked
an npplo pie and thero were seven
of you tho parents and five chil
dren. What part of tho plo would
you got for your portion?'
" 'A sixth, mn'nm,' the boy nnswor
oil. " 'Rut there nro sovon of you,' said
tho toachor. 'Don't you know any
thing about fractious?'
" 'Yes, mn'nm," said the boy, "1
know nil nbout fractions, but I know
all nbout mother, too. Mothor'd say
she itldn't want no plo.' "

Settlement.
Tho salvage question arising from
the snving of the water logged
steamer Lnknic off Coos Ray u few
weeks ngo by the Nann Smith, was
settled on n towage bnsls. The
amount Is not known but Is said to
linve been a liberal one.
The settlement was effected be
tween tho Chns. Nelson Lumber com
pany, ownerB of the Lakmo, nnd tho
C. A. Smith company, ownerB of the
Nnnn Smith. Tho Lnkmc was at
anchor when the lino from the Nnnn
Smith was taken nbonrd by the Lnk

towage, this precluded tho claim for
other than towage.
In the settlement, the C. A. Smith
