orders, and the storekeeper has no check

The Philadelphia TimGS says The Rev
j. William Finn of New Orleans, has I'm
excellent article in the current number of
the Southern Presbyterian Reeiedo on
evolution and theology, But the practical
interest of the paper centres not so much
in anything new that Mr.. Finn has TO
say about evolution or theology MS in his
showing of the curious difference that
appears to exist on the subject between
the presidents md professors in many of
our American colleges.
Some time ago tho New York IRde-
pcndeRt said that all our best schools
thought that man was, nj least as far us
his physical structure is concerned,
evolved from irrational animals. The
New York OhscFrcE sent the paragraph to
nine college presidents and they AL re-
piled substantially that they did not
teach in the colleges that man is evolved
from irrational animals. The inde-
peHdeHt went behind the returns and APP
penlcd direct to the professors especially
to the branches of physical science, aud
got replies from the very same colleges
to the effect that evolution wus the
accepted doctrine of their teachings. and
nj first sight it looked MS if the American
colleges were all divided ngninst them.
selves.
The whole discussion, however simply
proves how readily men will grant ii
general terms what they are unwilling tc
put in the exact language of detail
Without n doubt the presidents and lend
ing professors Of Yale, Harvard, the I'ui
vcrsity of Pennsylvania and othc.' lend
ing American colleges substantially agrc,
III their belief on this subject, and til,
different answeiGwGrc brought mainly b,
the difference in thc form of the question
Whenever many men look into their owl
beliefs they find the samp state Of thing
existing, There is an assent in som
sense 10 the general doctrine Of evolution
hut clearly the time has not yct come I
put that general belief into any sprcili
form that will tie mems minds to it MS
settled creed. The apparent cuntrndi,
ton. therefore, is m indication of til
freedom of the modern mind.

IN the course of long editorial on
national yachts the Boston iieiaid says :
Now, as we remarked above, this same
idea of utility has controlled both the
English and the Americans in the
development Of their yachts. Consider-
tons of wind and tide and geographical
surroundings have had the effect of evolv-
ing in England the cutter type of vessel,
with its great draught Of water and
superior seagoing qualities and similar
considerations have brought about the
building in this country Of yachts
having comparatively small
draugLt and frequently supplied with
cen;rcbunrCls. Now, il does not seem Ia
To- generally recognized that, while the
| former type of vessel is admirably
adapted for cruising OFF the coast of Eng
land, il is not well Ruited for pleasure
trips along our own coast, and, contrri
wise, the modern American type of yacll
would probably be much less service
able vessel in British waters than thos,
which they now hive in Use. In othcl
words, both countries have built the typ,
Of vessel best adapted for the uses /,
which they are to be put.
