The exposures of vice in the city of New
York, made by the Rev. Dr. Farkhurst
from bis pulpit and backed up by affidavits
and testimony before the grand jury, have
been fruitful. A number of arrests have
been mode, and the grand jury has made a
presentment charging the police department
with having accepted bribes from lawbreak
ers for police protection. The agitation is
bound to “clear the atmosphere” in the
metropolis. .
The decision of the United States supreme
eourt in the now famous “Coosaw case”
means about as much in the politics of
South Carolina as in the state's commerce.
Gov. Tillman instituted the suit against the
opinion of some of the brightest legal minds
In the state, and has fought the matter with
dogged determination for a year and a half.
In the campaign preliminary to his nomi
nation for governor, Capt. Tillman made
many of bit best points before the people in
his attacks on the Coosaw Mining Com
pany, the largest phosphate rock producer
in the United States, whioh he charged with
•xerclsing illegal rights and obeatlng the
state of large revenues by monopolizing
territory that should be let to other
companies. The story of the case is long
and tedious, but having been followed in the
news columns of the Morning News, has
become tolerably familiar. The political
afreet of the decision of the court will be a
hoom for Tillman’s candidacy for the gov
ernorship. It will, in certain quarters, re
establish a confidence in him that bad begun
to flag; in other quarters it will win admir
ation for the clever foresight that he dis
played in threading the intricate mazes of
one of the greatest lawsuits ever brought in
the state, and coming out of it backed by
the highest court in the land.
It is Baid that the official household of the
pope is divided on the question, “Shull
education in the Unitea States be the con
cern of church or state?' 1 The pope is re
ported as taking a liberal view of the ques
tion, to the effect that the Catholic church
in America is an American institution, ai.d
•‘would benefit the church at large by so
remaining.” His view is also held by Car
dinal Rampolla at Rome and a majority of
the Catholic clergy in America. The oppo
sition holds that it is wrong for the state to
take taxes from Catholics for the support
o* schools in which religion is not taught;
that the state, as a state, has no right to
compel parents to send their children to 4 tho
schools; that the matter of education
is one that coucerns parents
alone, and that an indiscriminate
association of Catholic children in the
public schools with “atheists, Infidels and
Protestants” destroys the foundation of
their faith. Under the present system of
eschewing creeds in the public schools the
American system has grown to be one of
the best and most efficient in the world—a
distinctive institution of the western world
-—permitting freedom of thought and
action. Under the system there are no
sectarian bickerings ana discontent. Each
faith is allowed to take care of its own, aDd
to establish and maintain schools at its own
expense, if it pleases. Church jealousies
are avoided, and the political power of the
republic is permitted to remaiu whex*e it
\ belongs—with the people.
Draw the Line Clearly.
The time has come for tbe Democratic
party of Georgia to act promptly and vig
orously. Tbe People’s party has perfected
an organization in this state and has
announced its purpose to nominate candl
dates for all state and oounty offices, and
also for presidential electors and congress'
moo It has made a declaration of war
against the Democratic party—tbe party
that rescued the state from oar
pet bag rule and has given it
an intelligent and economical government.
The Democratic party will not Bhrink
from the oontest. Confident that its prin
ciples are the ones from which the people
have the most to expect, and believing that
upon the triumph of those principles the
prosperity of the state depends, it will meet
its new enemy with the same vigor and de
termination that marked its struggles with
the Republican party when that party had
the state within its grasp and was robbing it.
And the first thing for the Dsmocratio
party to do is to notify those who are not in
sympathy with it, but who are supporting
the People’s party, to step out of its ranks.
It does not want to lose any of its members,
but it must draw the line clearly hotween
its friends and its enemies. It cannot do
full justice to itself if it permits ene
mies in its camp. It must know who
ore for it and who against it. If there
are those within its ranks who
have become inoculated with the poison of
the People’s party, and who propose to sup
port that party, let them openly announce
the position they occupy. They have no
busiuess to masquerade asdemocrata or take
part in democratic mass meetings aud pri
maries. And it is the duty of democrats to
see that they do not. From this time it
must be understood that avowed members
of the People’s party will not be permitted
to have a voice in the affairs of the Demo
cratic party.
The Morning News more than a week
ago advised democrats throughout the state
to organixo and prepare for a campaign of
unusual importance. It is a source of sat
isfaction that this advice is being very gen
erally heeded. The county papers, follow
ing the lead of tbe Morning News, are
spurring the democrats of their respective
counties into activity, and the great Demo
cratic party is gradually arousing itself
from its apathy and getting ready to meet
the enemy that is boasting of its ability to
capture the state.
When the lines between the friends and
enemies of democracy are drawn it will be
found that the number that has deserted
the Democratic party for the People’s party
is not so very great. The intelligent demo
crats, the democrats who are profoundly
interested iu the prosperity of tbe state and
who are capable of understanding just what
the People’s party is and what its intentions
are. will still be found within the demo
cratic fold. They cannot be induced to bo
oome members of a party whose leaders not
only announce their hatred of the south, but
boldly proclaim it to be their purpose to
break the backbone of the solid southern
democracy by capturing Georgia. And
how do they propose to carry Georgia? By
oonvlnciug tbe white people that it is to
their interest to voto with the People’s
party? Not at all. But by organizing the
blacks —blacks who, when organized, will
be a source of infinite trouble to the farmers
and to tho state, because they
will not only demand more
pay for fewer hours of work, but will in
sist upon having a share of the offices. Does
any one doubt that the People’s party in
tends to depend upon the black vote? Who
was it in the St. Louis convention, where
tbe People’s party was organized, that
had tho most potent voice? Was
it not Gilmore, of Tattnall county, an
ex preacher and an Englishman?
Of the eighteen votes given to Georgia he
controlled eleven, and they wore the votes
of black meu. Wby was he given oontrol
of a majority of Georgia’s votes in the con
vention if it Is not the plan of the People’s
party to organize the blacks and utilize their
votes in tho approaching campaign?
We are glad to see that the sub
alliances in many of the counties
are passing resolutions to tho etfect
that they are not going to
leave tho Democratic party. They are
wise. They are just beginning to under
stand what the People’s party Is, and how
totally unworthy it is of their confidence.
It is big (-with demands and promises,
but it 1l thoroughly insincere and
can accomplish nothing for those
who put their dependence in it
It has lost what little foothold it had in
the west, and the Republican party is now
encouraging it in tbe south with the hope
that it may break tho solid south. Let tbe
farmers of Georgia study it carefully and
the men who are at the head of It, and thoso
of them who have thought favorably of it
will be ashamed of having done so.
Frank Akuy, the New Hampshire mur
derer who killed his sweetheart about a
■ year ago, the story of whose crime
and capture filled so large an
amount of newspaper space, is a
troublesome prisoner. He is still locked up
in jail under a sontence of death, which is
held to be illegal. He pleaded guilty to an
indictment charging him with murder, and
a jury was dispensed with. There is a law
in New Hampshire which allows a plea of
guilty in a murder case to be accepted, and
authorizes the court to fix the degree
of murder. After Alray pleaded guilty,
the judge adjudged him guilty in
the first degree and sentenced
him to be hanged. Almy was not iu court
when the degree was fixed and the sentence
passed, and some of the best lawyers in the
state now hold that the sentence is, there
fore, illegal. Under the circumstances, the
officers of the taw do not know what to do
with the man. The Concord Monitor urges
that he be speedily taken into court and re
sentenced to death. The paper predicts
that if this is not done the supreme court
of the United States will set him free. His
crime was one of the most shocking of the
last decade, and it would be a sad failure of
justice if he should escape tho peualty he so
richly deserves through a loophole in the
law.
The campaign in Rhode Island has been
one of education ou the part of the demo
crats, and one of tho most telling lessons of
the series was that iu the speech of Mark D.
Wilber, of Brooklyn. Taking authentic
statistics he showed that the protected in
dustries paid the poorest wages and the in
dustries that are not protected the best
w ages. The flour miller receives the larg
est wages in this country, and the mason,
carpenter and plumber come next. Then
comes the carriage maker and the maker of
agricultural implements. None of these
industries is protected. The steel, glass,
crockery, silk and wool industries are the
highest protected, and Mr. Wilber affirmed
that they pay “the only starvation wages in
America.”
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1892.
An Unenviable Position.
The position occupied by Col. Livingston
is not an enviable one, If the dispatches sent
oat from Atlanta, the headquarters of hie
congressional district, are reliable. It is
said that he has been repudiate! by the
alliance, the People’s party doesn’t wnt him
and ho doesn’t seem to bs In high favor with
the Democratic party. At least oae paper
in Atlanta is calling far the nomination of
someone to succeed him in oongress.
C il. Livingston made mistake of try
ing to keep in with the People’s party and
the Democratic party at the same time.
He aopears to be fairly in harmony with
the Democratic party now, but somehow or
other the democrats of hla distriet are in
doubt whether or not he Is a sound demo
crat. Only a day or two ago there was a
report In Atlanta that he had made up his
mind to join the People’s party. It turned
out that toe report was unfounded.
The people like a man who is straightfor
ward in his political action, even though
they may not have much respeot for his po
litical views. Aud they are not slow in
finding out those who are trimming their
sails to catch the popular breeze. They
seem to think they have found out Col. Liv
ingston, and it would not be surprising if
they should reach the same conclusion with
respect to some newspapers.
However, tho newspapers of the state
that have battled steadily and honestly for
democratic principles and tbe Democratic
party have no reason to sympathize with
Col. Livingston. When these newspapers
were unjustly boycotted he had no word to
say in their behalf. If we are not mistaken
he approved the boycott.
The Movement Against Hill.
Tho movement in New York against Sen
ator Hill is gaining in strength. Last night
an immense meeting was held in Buffalo
wnich was addressed by Hon. Charles 8.
Fairohild and others. Resolutions were
adopted hostilo to Seuator Hill, and ratify
ing the call for a convention at Syraouss to
ohoose delegates to the democratic national
convention.
Senator Hill is losing ground in his own
state. It was evident from the day the
midwinter convention was called that there
would be a revolt against him because of
the ODjection to the calling of the conven
tion as so early a date, and that the revolt
would inolude a very large num
ber, If not the majority, of tho
demooratio business men. The oppo
sition to him has reached such proportions
that he and his friends no longer regard it
with lndiuer’ence. They are thoroughly
alarmed by it. Iu fact, it is an open ques
tion whether Senator Hill's supporters do
not consider him out of the presidential
race. Several of the leading men of Tam
many have openly expressed their prefer
euce for Mr. Cleveland within the last few
days, and so influential a New York news
paper as the Brooklyu Eagle has become an
advocate of Mr. Cleveland's nomination.
It is a fact worthy of notice that it is
seldom said now iu any New York news
paper that Mr. Cleveland cannot carry the
state, and prominent New York democrats
are coming out boldly with the declaration
that there is no doubt about bis ability to
carry it. A remarkable change is taking
place in New York with respect to Mr.
Cleveland’s candidacy.
The Paddock Pure Food Bill.
The Paddock pure food bill will soon oome
before the tlouse for consideration. It was
passed by tho Senate ou March
10. lu that body it was not ra •
gardod as a party measure, but nearly all
tho democrats voted against it. It is a dan
gerous bill because the tendency of it is
toward centralization, and it should meet
at the hands of the democratic representa
tives tho fate that all such measures deserve.
Its passage by the House would be
a republican victory. It would
be a virtual admission on tha part cf the
democratic members that they regard the
states as incompetent to control the manu
facturing interests within their borders, and
a plea for the protection of the general gov
ernment.
Tho Paddock bill vests in the department
of agriculture the duty of analyzing, or
having analyzed, samples of all food or drugs
exposed fqr sale in any state or ter
ritory other than that In which thsy
are manufaotured. It makes a misdemeanor,
punishable by fine and imprisonment, the
introduction into one state or territory
from another any food produot or drug im
properly branded or adulterated. Every
person who ships food or drugs from one
state to another, or exposes the same for
sale, must furnish samples for analysis.
Negieot or refusal to do s > is punishable by
a fine of from $lO to $lO3. All articles of
food, medicine, or drink entering into in
terstate oommeroe,are inoluded in the bill,
and are liable to be proceeded against in the
district oourts of the Uuited -States if tha
suspicion of the government agent is aroused
or c unplaint is made.
There is another serious objection to tho
bill. To look after tho analyses of food
articles anew bureau is created in the de
partment of agriculture, with au assistant
in every state. These offi.ials —agents of
the food section of the chemical division of
of the department of agriculture—would te
political appointees. The bill provides for
chemical experts, but the shifting tide of
political favor would float in persons with
absolutely no kuowledge of chemistry. This
oonstant changing of experts would give
blackmailers au opportunity to annoy and
swindle manufacturers of proprietary
articles, and at the same time afford dis
honest manufacturers and corrupt experts
the opportunity to palm off fraudulent
products under government patronage.
Rhode Island is the biggest state in the
union to-day. In comparison Texas Is only
a garden plot and Georgia a speck on the
map. This is because Rhode Island is hav
ing an election. She has worked her
seif up to the highest tension for the event
and the enthusiasm has been communicated
to the other states. Massachusetts is
trembling all over in sympathetic agita
tion; New York has shouted herself hoarse
encouraging her little neighbor, and even
Colorado has temporarily forgotten her
pique over the failure of the silver bill
while she watches the contest. It has
been a notable campaign. The heaviest
political “guns” in the country have been
trained on Rhode Island by both parties.
Cleveland, McKinley, Campbell, Bynum,
Wilson, Reed and others have loaded the
voters with facts and theories of govern
ment until they can want nothing more in
that line. Tho tug of war comet to-day.
The Georgia State Sunday Sohool Associ

they do avoid it, they will Lave tio groat trouble
in beating the republicans.
Demanded by the People.
From the Richmond (Va.) State (. Dem.).
Everything p ints to Mr. Cleveland's nomina

he is nominated on the first ballot.
A Shirk That May be Forgiven.

Mr. Alger says that \ e cannot withdraw from

From the Phi'adeiphui Record (Dem.).
McKinley's reference to Cleveland as “the

The nomination of Mr. Cleveland would be

Some of them are democrats and some of them

The Antiseptic Courtship.
John Alexander Grubbs, M. D., eminent
bacteriologist, past grand master in the art of
cultivating germs aa<l honorary member of tbe
Order ef the Inflnitesmal Bug, on first behold
ing ths ample charms of Dr. Grindslia Robuu.a

of a n#w speoie* of bacteria, says J. B. S. King

as Micrococcus, Spirillum, Phagocytes, etc.,
were mingled with the softer words of love
When, after the manner of lovers in all ages
they yearned for the conjunction of lips, they
took no risks on swapping microbes. Knowing
that the learned savant Miller of Berlin had de
scribed twenty-two species of fiery, untamed
animalcules as roaming in countless herds
around the buccal cavity, tbe hot blood was for
once held in check by the cold decrees of science.
Dr. John having swabbed out his mouth and
lips with lißterlue. Dr. Grindelia thoroughly dis
infected her mouth in the same manner, and
then followed a chaste and inlcroscopall pure
osculation, which was. no doubt, all the sweeter
for the scientific delay. When they drank
each other's health it was with boiled water.
The? were finally married in a fumigated
church by a disinfected priest. The holy water
used in the ceremony was a t-in-2,000 bicloride
solution. The wedding march sounded to the
ears of the]happy couple exceptionally pure and
sweet, for it came from organ pipes whose
throats had been muffled with carbolated gauze,
so that the notea were strained of every source
of infection.
Bo Runs th© World Away.
The two ladies opposite the stove, although
manifestly well acquainted, had not spoken a
word for several minutes before the car stopped
with a jerk, says the Detroit Tribune. The con
ductor, an inexperienced young thing, clung
expectantly to the bell cord, undoubtedly be
lieving m his innocence that it would be a mat
ter of only a few seconds until he could signal
the driver to proceed.
“Oh, I get off here. Good bye.”
“Why, that’s so. isn’t it. 1 didn’t realize that
we had come so fast. Good bye.”
“Good bye.”
' ’Good-bye.”
The untutored conductor was right on ths
point of jerking the rope.
“This mud is horrid, isn’t it? Good-bye.”
“Perfectly dreadful. Good-bye.”
“Good-bye ”
“Good-bye ”
The conductor was losing his confidence. His
arm dropped.
“So glad to see you down town. Good by.”
“Lovely time. Good-by.”
“Good-by.”
“Good-by ”
The conductor abandoned the cord altogether
and looked anxious.
“Let's go again to-moorrow. Good-by.”
“I'd he delighted. Good-by.”
“Good-by.”
“Good by.”
“Twentieth street!” bellowed the conductor,
with the patent purpose of creating a diver
sion.
’Til com'* for you. Good-by,”
“Very well. Good-by.”
“Good-by.”
“Good-by.”
When she finally alighted the oonductor went
forward and told the driver he must make the
horses gallop to the eud of tho line if he ex
pected to make time.
A Hunting Yarn.
A hunter who had spent a considerable part
of the day in an unsuccessful quest for game,
and had discharged his shotgun many times
without result, caught sight, on his way home,
of a superb pig-on well up in an oak tree,
which grew on a very steep hillside, says
Youth's Companion.
The hunter's gun was charged with powder,
but he was entirely out of shot, in this emer
gency, and resolving firmly that he would have
the pigeon, he sat down on the ground, took
out his pocket knife, and with it pulled several
nails out of the sole of his shoe. With these he
loaded his gun.
The pigeon still sat in his place. The hunter
aimed, fired, and the pigeon was nailed to a
branch of the oak tree with the shoe nails.
The hunter was almost in despair seeing tho
game apparently fastened beyond his reach.
But he climbed the tree, ascended with diffi
culty to the place where the pigeon hung and
haa just taken the bird off when he lost his
footing and fell through tho air.
As chance would have it tho hunter landed in
tbe ni dst of a hare's nest. He began to roll
rapidly down the steep and slippery hillside;
but before he did so ho seized a large hare
firmly by the hind legs.
Roiling downward the hunter slid plump into
tho midst of a convey or partridges, and strik
ing about him with tho hare he succeeded iu
killing nine of these admirable birds.
He then picked himself up and took himself
homeward with his pigeon, his hare and his
partridges, well satisfied with the results of his
shot.
A Garden by th© Sea.
William Morris in Beta York Tribune.
I know a little garden-close.
Set thics with lily and red rose,
Where I would wauder if I might
From dewy morn to dewy uignt,
And hav© one with me wandering.
And though within it no birds sing.
And though no pillared house is there,
And though the apple bough# are bare
Of fruit and blossom, would to God
Her feet upon the green grass trod.
And 1 beheld them as bofore.
There comes a murmur from the shore,
And la the close two fair tttroami are
Drawn from th® purple hills afar.
Drawn down unto the lesth-s* sea:
Dark hill® whose heath bloom leads no bee,
Dafc shore no ship Pas ever seen.
Torment©'! by the billows green
Whose murmur comes unceasingly
Unto the place for which I cry.
For which I cry both day and night.
For which 1 let slip all delight.
Whereby I grow both deaf an i blind,
Careless to win, unskilled to flud.
And quick to lose what all meu ®eek.
Yet tottering as I am and weak,
Btill have I left a little breath
To seek within the jaws of death
An entrance to that happy place.
To seek tho unforgotten face.
Once seen, once kissed, once reft for mo
Anigh the murmuring of the s a.
Dignified Modesty.
“Elijah,” said the President, looking up from
the Chicago Times , “I soe that Oullom says that
he withdraws from the presidential contest ”
“Yes, sir.”
“So far as Alger is concerned, he's a-goner
after that war record business, aud, of course,
Blair doesn't count, so 1 don't 6ee that there is
anybody in it but me.”
“You've got It all your own way, your excel
lency.”
• Then, suppose, 'Lijo, that we do a little dig
nified and stately posing. Y'ou might casually
remark in the presence of a few correspondents
that I believe the office should seek the man,
and that 1 will not engage in any unseemly
scramb e for a nomination. If the convention
wants me it must ask rne humbly—and between
us, 'Lije, it's fixed so that there isn't anybody
else it can ask. Now's the time, Mr. Halford,
for us to strike our gait as a retiring and digni
fied statesman who only responds to the peo
ple's call when it comes with no discordant
voice.”

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
A convict made his escape at Brenham, Tex.,
a few days ago in a curious manner. With a
number of others he was working on a railroad
embankment. When none of th© guards were
looking, the convict laid down in a Hollow made
by the spades. The gang near him threw dirt
over him until he was completely covered.
When camp was reached and the roll called the
©scape was discovered
The Jour reports that the engineers in the
Creusot establishment have invented anew gun
far more destructive than anything ever yet
teen. A military commission recently were
perfectly astounded at the results obtained.
One of the officers cf the commission said at
the close of the experiments: “Armed with
such an engine of war, our army could beat not
only Germany, but ail the armies of the Triple
alliance.”
That a knowledge of mythology (as taught to
young ladies and others) should be com
mon in the Greece of to-day is only natural.
You shall find the urchins in the village school
at Delphi reciting the lives of heroes and saints,
of Samson and Herakles, of th® virgin huntress
and her who was greatest among women, in a
breath. All are equally real to them, as they
might have been to their forebears eigh
teen centuries ago.
In Aroostook county, Maine, is a man who
has been in jail for nearly four years because
he refused to pay a debt which he might have
settled easily. He declared that he wouldn't
pay, and mat if sent to jail he could stand it as
long as his creditors oould, the latter being
obliged to pay the prisoner’s board. Th©
debtor may be liberated soon, he having prom
ised to pay his bills more promptly in th® fu
ture, but the bill for which he was incarcerated
will never be paid. The prisoner was a soldier,
and known as a “stuffy” man.
An immense wooden box, bound in Iron, was
recently found at Helslnfors, in Finland, by
workmen engaged in excavating in the cellar of
an old house. Upon opening the box the men
found that it contained a large parchment and
a quantity of pieces of iron of odd shapes. Be
ing unable to make out the contents of th©
parchment, they cariod it to M. RizefT, the near
est magistrate, who found that it was written
by Father Suger, one time minister to Louis
VII. of France. It was an elaborately written
treatise upon the use of steam as a motive
power, ana further examination revealeithat
the bits of iron were numbered parts of a rudi
rnental but complete steam eaglne. It is pro
posed to fit the parts together and to exhibit
this pioneer steam engine at the Chicago world's
fair.
It is proposed to run from New Y'ork to
Chicago at the time of the dedication of the
exposition buildings t-n special trains ten
minutes apart, each train to have elaborate
decorations and music. It is believed that
fuily b, OOO people will want to make th® trip,
it is the intention to have in New' York, both
preceding and succeeding this triumphal pro
cession, imposing ceremonies of a commemo
rative character. These include a civic and in
dustrial pageant representing modern pro
gress, a street pageant representing the land
iug or Columbus and historic scenes from his
life, unveiling of a Columbus statue in Central
park, a grand banquet and choral festival.
Prominent citizens of New York, including
members of Spanish aid Italian societies, are
perfecting the plans.
From the time that Charles Dickens touched
upon the subject, a great deal of misappre
hension appears to have gathered about ‘ the
Queen's Pipe.” Instead of being a ravenous
maw that is eternady smoking the primest of
smuggled cigars and provenders for pipes and
cigarettes, it is tle decent crematory of merely
the worthless portions of cargoes and th©
refuse and sweepings of the bonding houses.
After seizure contraband tobacco ifc overhauled
and th© good portions ar© separated from the
worthless. Such portions as are retained are
then passed on to a cutter. He slices up the
cakes, twists and plugs, aud the different brands
are then mixed and an agreeable blend ob
tained. The mixture thus obtained is supplied
to ttie convict prisons, and is one of tho con
solations of criminal lunatics. This is abso
lutely the only direction in which confiscated
tobacco is sent out again for uno.
A diamond expert in Lond&i thus discourses
on the product and distrihut ion of diamonds:
“The Americans are the finest judges of dia
monds iu the worl 1, and insist upon hating the
finest stones an.l the most perfect outtlog. It
is estimated that they will take £H,OOf,OOO worth
this year. India furnishes a narfcet for large
numb-rsof white stones, as vr*i 1 as for yellow
or colored diamonds, or stone® with flaw® or
specks in them. The natives Invest their sav
ings in them aud in other precious arums a® we
do in stocks and snare©. Raftin'* fancy is for
large yellow diamonds. Chiba is becoming a
buyer, for very recently the empress has brotteii
through the old custom which prohibited women
from wearing diamond® ta bet country. Ah©
could uot resist the beauty of a supurb dia
mond necklet presented t > her. She wore it at
court and set tho fashion. Japan is also
rapidly becoming a consfrietfable customer.
With iho opening of the world bv rail wav and
steamship communication, the demand for dia
monds ha* increased marvelously. The world
now purchases about A!5,0DQ.000 per annum.
Twenty years ago it was about half a million
storliug.”
Wiiat is known as the polar original of the
human race is the theory of certain scientists
that the first race of men originated in the re
gion of the North Pole. This Idea, of course, is
founded on the belief that the human race came
into existence when the entire globe was very
much hotter than it is now Prof. Dalkins in
his book. “Early Man in Britain. ”say that three
phases of life can De traced throughout the geo
logical formations of the earth, in the first
race the fishes und amphibians dominate, and a
few reptiles are found in the upper rocky forma
tions. The vegetation at this time is shown
to be in the coal era. In the second phase
the reptiles were very numerous, some walk
ing, some flying and some swimming.
Geology shows that birds were at that time
evolved from the reptiio class, and tne reptiles
were formed from th© fishes an l amphibians.
Dense forests also prevailed in that period. In
the third period mammals took their place as
the dominant class The theory is that this
order of things was first *st.abliabed at the
North Pole, for, as the earth was at first a hot
and molten mass, the cooling process would go
on most rapidly at the poles, since the radiation
of heat there was compensated in tne most im
perfect degree by the heat from the sun. On
this hypothesis the fact that there have been
found buried In the ic© of the far north speci
mens of animals that are now found only in the
torrid zones may be explained. This theory is
not accepted by all scientists, by any means.

“ All she lacks of beauty
is a little plumpness.”
This is a frequent thought,
and a wholesome one.
All of a baby's beauty is
due to fat, and nearly all of a
woman’s —we know it as
curves and dimples.
What plumpness has to do
with health is told in a little
book on careful living; sent

Would you rather be
healthy or beautiful? “Both’’
