The Value Of Life.

One of the interesting speculaticns
recently started in England has for q
subject the present value Of life as COM
pared with its value when mankind did
not spend half of its time in studying
the problem Of prOlonging life. One
Of the leading London physicians de-
Clares that men were happier and bet
ter, and lived nobler lives, before the
pursuit Of health and the yearnings for
longevity became craze almost
amounting to madness, and before the
questions what to eat, drink and to
avoid, and what to wear, and how to
live, by what means to avoid infection,
TO keep of disease, and to escape death
for few weary and wearied years, were
the all-engrOssing ones. Another urges
that the " survival Of the fittest, " so lar
as the race is concerned, IS q great mis-
take; and that humanity in general
would be a great deal better off If there
were less Of the loving labor now ex-
pended In prOlonging the lives of the
weak, diseased and crippled.
There is no danger that either Of these
views will find general acceptance. The
world has become so accustomed to
studying the laws of health and long
life, and enjoys the study so much, that
it is not likely to abandon it, even for
the purpose of bringing back the happy
days when men didn't care anything
about diet and drainage and pure air.
There is Just as little danger Of any
in the matter Of caring
for the sick and helpless. 1t may be
worse for the race, in one aspect Of the
case, to prOlong lives of suffering and
to interfere with the natural process
which extinguishes the weaklings in q
few generations. But what the race
loses in this way it is repaid an hundred
fold in the cultivation and expansion Of
its finer emotions. Detroit Free Press. |

If he were not there, the pastor of this
immense docEs ono might speculate, ig-
nOrant Of his absence, Is not that per-
haps he, or tho other? But, being
there, no doubt can exist The one hg-
ure comes out, to which all others are a
setting-a full, pallid face, with thick
irOn-gray hair and a fringe of dark
beard. As the clock overhead shows
the half-hour the pastor comes forward,
and at once the confused sound cesses-
the shutting Of feet, the frou-frOu Of
dresses, the nervous cough that runs
over the area like the rattle Of fIe-fring

and mOdUlated so as to reach every cor

the tuning fork 50 small. But the sing

not that grand OutpOuring one might
expect from such an assemblage.
A great deal of the charm of Mr..

powerful charm about it, causing time
