New York, Aug. 3.--Wall street is prepared to stand behind the gover- ment to safeguard the finances of the United States .in-the world-wide flurry caused by the war situation in Europe. It was agreed to-day that gold exports must be stopped. A meeting of representatives of leading foreign exchange houses was held at the Guaranty Trust Co., this afternoon, at which means of resum- ing business in foreign exchange was discussed, so that international com- merce may not be seriously disturb- ed. It is now said that even a declara- tion of a general European war has been largely discounted in so far as it would affect the stock market here,-owing to the closing of the ex- change when the situation became threatening Friday.

Poullain, who was aged 51, lived with bis wife and anotner family in a small cottage cloge to his signal box, at Pierrefitte, about fifteen mi- tes from Paris, and both of the Foullaine weve certificate servants of the company. ' These boxes are only entrusted to tripd. employees, as the express service by day and night is almost perpetual, requiring unceasing vigi- lance. The work was shared between Poulain and his wife, ahd soon al- ter I in the morning the woman, hearing a cry, ran down and found her hasband. lying on the threshold Just ale to say: "Help! I am being murdered." id Shouting aloud, she began to at- tend Poullain, when she heard the semaphore bell giving warning of the approaching train, and, leaving her dying husbang, she rushed to save the lives of passengers by work- ing the points, which she alone now understood. 4 = The whole time she continued crying at the top of her voice, and the saw first their sop and then the neighbors come out and pick up the wounded wan, but, though half hearibroken and shaken with sobs, she remained at her post for the passage of the canals boat train duo at 3.30, This she stopped, and Poullain, unconscious but still breathing, was placed on board and conveyed' to Paris, while his heroic wife refused to quit the levers until 6 in the morning, when finally, she was re- lieved by another signalman. It only then that the poor crea- ture broke down in a long fainting fit, and as soon as She recovered she took train to see her husband, whom she found dead. The courage and almost sublime tievotion of the wife in taking her dving husband's place and leaving Others to tend his last moments will stand high among the records of beraism claimed for the humble ser- vants of the public, The Slippery Rhyme. fv Helen anders eer world's for man a slippery Since Adam came to call And Eve slipped on And met him place fig | 1 new in the hall eat They slipped out to orchard And Fve sipped down the free With fruit that way not right to And slipped upon' his knee the ore th rreen The frit slipped down Adam's throat Before he'd time to Aud when hi now He slips down it a poor think, throat slippery drink This slippery rhyme will show to von Man's wot to blame at all For slipping on a slippery spot Un this old slippery ball Town Clerk Devenny, Renfrew, has asked for an salary increase from the town couneil. mrss sn om Lerrony AN ADVAN ary & Practical Home Dress Making Prepared Especially For This Newspaper DAILY BRITISH WHIG, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1914, ~~ NEWS OF THE DISTRICT WHAT IS FOUND IN THE DIS.

Gets There and Heating Power. To the head of the family who been shoveling coal during tbe io winter it matters not what his is made from as long as it gives reasonable amount of heat and is p for. And yet this quesfion of the gredient matter and the geologic cesses to which peat from which co. is formed, is considered so impor at by those who are not simply shove ers of coal that the United State Geological Survey has made a stud of the subject of the effecis of rezip: in coals. Resins, under which is in cluded the resin-of commerce, the co pal from which varnish is made, th amber used in jewelry, and man: other similar materials, are secre tions generated in some of the cell: or vessels in plants of many differen: kinds. One of the most familiar : csin producing trees is the pitch pine, ir which piteh is a resin. Resins contain very much more hydrogen and carbon compared to the amount of exygen than ordinary wood, so that, other things being equal, the resinous woods make muect hotter fires than thoge containing ne resins, the hydrogen and carbon being sources of the heat. The larger ib¢ amount of heal the hoiter the fire Many a Mississippi river steamboat was blown up in the oil days when, in order to win a race, the barrels of resin in the cargo were broached to feed the fires. Resin adds heat power not ouly to the woods which contain it, but also to the coals. This is why there is resin in coal Being more resistant te decay unde: water than the wood cells and other How It Adds which the peats of Logs and coal- forming swamps are produ ed, the re- Sin lumps and particles a1 "generally left to be buried in the peat deposits, even when most ¢ the surrounding wood has rotted away and ar- ed. In bis way they arc sometimes concentrated in quantity so that, to- gether with waxes, likewise of heat value, they form considerable por- tions of the veg-table debris in the peat. Peat is the mother substance which, after deep burial on the crust of the earth, has been converted into coal. The kind of the peat largely de- termines the type of the coal. As Good as a Porter.

Recent Researches Show That Psalms of the Brethren and Psalms of the Sisters In the Scriptures of Oriental Faith Parallel and Ante- date Incidents Thought To Be Peculiarly Christian Ones. Interesting evidence that the Bud- dhist writings contain stories and parables that are repeated in the Christian Gospels is discussed in a re- cent article by A J, Edmunds, who with is ahs a Japanese schol- #r, has been making v ¢omparison of Christian and Buddhist actiptures, and has tabulated the re- suit. in 3 monumental work entitled "Christian and Buddhist Gospels." Bnddha, founder of the Buddhist religion, lived about six humdred years before the Christian era. Henge the suggéstion of the theological magazine means that part of what we regard as Christian teachings or- Ielanied Yih Buddha. : ese Buddhistic teachings are found in ro Nahin of the Breth- ren," "The Pi of the Sisters" and a "Compendiym of Philosophy," three very ancient Buddhist works that have just been translated into English by Mrs. Rhys Davids. "The Psalms of the Brethren" con- tains sayings ascribed to Buddha, and is said w bave been written not later than 250 B. C. Here is one passage which paral- 8s 'a famous sentence in the New , Testament. A nun was persistently | tempted by a libertine and plucked | out her eye. "There!" she exclaimed, "take your eye," and gave it to him. "One cannot help being haunted by the suspicion," says The Theological Review, "that this story became as famous as other Buddhist legends which we now know to have been translated into the vernaculars of the Parthian Empire, the buffer state be- tween Palestine and India. Why should mot the story have been familiar to him who said: 'If thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out!" These Buddhist works also tell a story of a "penitent thief" and a "beloved disciple," both of which sug- gest the corresponding figures in the New Testament. The story of the penitent thief is said to bear a par- ticularly close resemblance to that of the Gospels. The reviewer explains this by the fact that the Buddhist writings were translated into the lan- guage of Persia, which was the favo- rite means of communication in the lifetime of the Apostles between Palestine and India and the farther countries of the Kast. It is possible, the writer suggests, that the people { lel with Buddhism. "Certain it is," he writes, 'that so early as 2 B. C. the Buddhist 'Sutras' were translated into a vernacular. This vernacular was not Chinese, for the 'Annals' declare that the religion, though kmown in China then, was not believed in. Moreover, the verna- cular translation was presented to a Chinese official by an ambassador from the great Yue-chi that people whose coins have come down to us with Greek on one side and Pali on the other. Was the vernacular Greek itself? Probably not. More likely it was Tokharish or Sogdian, known to have been used by that people. Spe- cimens of Buddhist books in both tongues have been found in Central Asia. And both were current in por- tions of the great Parthiin empire. "Such being the case, we need not be astonished If Luke and John had heard of two towering characters in these "Psalms of the Monks,' viz., the Penitent Thief and the Beloved Dis- ciple, Yes, here they both are, as large as life. Indeed, their absence would raise doubts as to the anti- quity and genuineness of the 'Psalms,' 80 prominent are these char- acters in the oldest books and sculp- tures, Quite the reverse would be the case with the gospels. Were we to find a recension of Luke without the Pentitent Thief we should say at once; "That looks like an earlier edition.' And why?

Upon these coins he had seen the name of Buddha in Greek letiers. 4 had iuguired who this Bud- dha was, and had found that he was the founder of a missionary religion of love and foregiveness, whose scrip- tufes were being translated into Bogdian and Tokharish, two verna- culars of the neighboring Parthian empire.
