We do not yet see the end OF Pasteur's
wonderful labors. Disease first mitigated
and finally stamped out; industries re-
vived and prosperity insured; true knowl-
edge of actual causes instead of illusory
reasoning on empirical hypothesis; the
scientific method adopted in every branch
OF medical practice, the abandonment OF
speculative error and the acceptance OF
actual truth are among the working re-
suits OF that grand bit of human mechan-
ism, Louis Pasteur's brain. By his
labors we see even more clearly the uni
versatility OF organic life-a truer "ma.
terialization" than is to be found in the
dreams of mystics or the visions OF
ecstatics; and by his investigations the
chain which binds all nature into
one independent and interacting whole
becomes even more visible in its
links and more solid in its clasp. In
stead,of palpable forces acting by chemi-
cal combinations and molecular changes
as occult as the alchemist's transmutation
of metal, We have the tangible matter,
the form of which We can see, the nOdus
Operdndi of which we can trace. Instead
of the hand Of God and the ghostly mys-
terry of superhuman and viewless infiu-
ences as the causes of disease, we have
organisms with which we can deal and
over which we have absolute power. In
stead of dry destruction, we have life-at
once the parent and the product OF death.
Life lies about us everywhere, unseen,
unheard, but as potent and as active as
the cosmic forces which have formed
and now maintain the equilibrium of
the spheres. The infinitely little
is the infinitely mighty, and that
which we call death is but the release Of
energies and the multiplication OF activi-
ties whereby the unit is disintegrated into
countless millions of organisms. When
we weary of the sterile things of the
world, we have always the rich and fer
tile fields of science for our rest and re-
freshment. When we are harrassed and
disturbed, perplexed and dismayed by
the multiplicity OF groundless faiths and
baseless beliefs pressed on our accept
ance, we have always facts such as Pas
teur has proved to make us feel once more
on solid ground where what is-is-and
where that phantasmal disarray set forth
by the lovers and makers OF miracles has
no place.. Lynn Linton, IN the Fort

THE NEW YORK CALL.

The State Republican Committee OF
New York met at Saratoga yesterday,
and adopted a resolution inviting all who
adhere to the principles OF the Repub-
lican party to attend and participate in
the primaries, and this without regard to
any fundamental test. Had the Repub
licans of New York done the same thing
last year before the National Convention
met and nominated Blaine, it is possible
that they might have carried the State
and thereby the Presidential election.
But the party managers then thought
that the machine was 80 perfect that
they could afford TO ignore that portion of
the party usually known as the Indepen-
dents. They did ignore the Independents
and were beaten; but with James G.
Blaine as Republican candidate for
President the party managers in New
York never could have controlled the
Mugwump vote, for they were irecon-
cilably hostile TO him and such
as he. They relied on another thing than
the machine, too, which was the old be-
lief that the Democratic party was no
better than rebel party, which was only
kept in subsection by the Republican
party, and to disturb that party in its
patriotic repose was treason to the Gov
ernment. They also dwelt at great length
upon the terrible revolutions that the
Democratic party, if given the
reins of Government, would in
augurate in the financial affairs
of the country; and said British gold
was being freely used to corrupt Demo-
Gratis and impoverish American workmen.
The Democrats have been in power some
thing over five months, and yet none OF
these terrible things have happened, and
there is no prospect of their happening.
1t is very doubtful if the honeyed reso-
luton of the State Republican Committee
will have the desired effect, for the Mug
wumps are old birds and are not to be
caught with chaff Another thing, too,
must be considered: Probably there is no
other State i'll the Union on which, neither
party can rely with as little certainty az
New York. Its voters are among the
most Independent Of any OF the States,
and they care more for good administra-
ton of public affairs than for party. And so
it should be, for, after all, party is but a
means in politics, while the end to be
desired is good, honest and efficient adj
ministration of public affairs, and this
should never be subordinated to the sue
cess of party.

a safe conclusion to say that Gordon
never steamed up the Nile 500 miles.
Gordon's whole life has been q romance,
and his nature was brave, generous,
chivalric, and Quixotic. He is in all
probability dead, and to search for him
would be to repeat the wild and pathetic
journeyings of Lady Franklin in search OF
Sir John Franklin. The search of Lady

AN OUTCAST.

AS one reads the story of crime and
seduction that the Pail Mall Gazette has
given to the world, it cannot but induce
reflection. Whether the exposures of the
Gazette will accomplish any real good it is
difficult to say, although it seems that
some much-needed notifications of
the criminal laws Of England will be
made, which will be a desirable work.
The recent demonstration in Hyde Park
was as much, if not more, a demonstra-
ton against an order OF society as one in
favor of virtue and yet in that immense
procession which wended its way through
the streets of London to Hyde Park, there
must have been many sorrowing mothers,
many who had lived a life OF sin and
shame. Perhaps there were in it those
who had in early maidenhood been lured
by the false gaiety and pleasure of Lon
don life to quit peaceful and quiet home,
where kind parents watched over all
and love was ever flowing forth.
If such there were, perhaps they looked
back upon that happy time, time gone
never to return, and sighed as they
thought of their own shame and their
parents sorrow. Were there any there
who were like Ann of Oxford street? Poor
Ann! Whence did she come, whittier
did she go? When she spent her last
sixpence to save from deaths grasp a
wanderer and an outcast for the time, did
she herself go hungry? Whatever may
have been her faults and her follies or
crimes, still there coursed through her
veins the milk of human kindness, =" and
the world owes her gratitude, for she
saved life that the world could i'll have
afforded to lose. Had it not been for
Ann of Oxford street where would have /
been those charming works of DE
Quincey's? The opium eaters Confess |
sions would never have been written.
The opium eater lost sight of Ann and in /
the long years after they separated never
to meet again, he often sought her, and /
gazed into the face OF thousands OF out
casts such as Ann, vet he never saw her
nor could ever find find a trace of her. !
He speaks of his search for her thus:
''To this hour &. e. in 1921 81 have
never heard syllable about her.
This, amongst such troubles as most
men meet with in this life, has
been my heaviest affliction II she
lived, doubtless We must have been
sometimes in search of each other, at the
very same moment, through the mighty
labyrinths of London; perhaps even
within few feet of each other-a barrier
no wider, in a London street, often
in the end 10 separation for
eternity! During some years, hoped
that she did live; and suppose that in
the literal and unrhetorical use of the
word myriad, may say that, on my diff
ferent visits TO London, have looked
into many, many myriads of female faces,
in the hope of meeting her. l should
know her again amongst thousand, if |
saw her for a moment; for, though not
she had a sweet expression

GENERAL GORDON AGAIN.

Every little while a report is put in cir
culation that General Gordon escaped the
massacre 1T Khartoum, and is somewhere
in the heart of Africa That such is the
case all will wish, yet most will doubt
Such report has been started anew by
Col. Long, the African explorer, who is
now in New York lie says that Captain
Richard Burton, an intimate friend of
Gordon, positively declares that he does
not believe Gordon is dead; and
Col. Long comedies in this
opinion. He bases this opinion in
part upon the fact that The accounts OF
Gordon's death do not agree-certainlv
very doubtful fact upon which 70 base his
opinion, especially when it is remembered
that accounts of every day occurrences
when witnessed 10y intelligent and nex-
cited persons very often differ, and differ
widely. Col Long says that the idea OF
being rescued by English officers or Ivy
General Wolseley would have been a ter
rible blow TO Gordon's vanity. This
might be, still it does not 90 TO prove that
Gordon escaped. In fact vanity seems
TO have been one of Gordon's chief char
acteristics his whole life was filled with
it, and so are his last journals written
at Khartoum. That he may have escaped
from the massacre and be wandering in
Central Africa is possible but not proba-
bic. An article in the Nineteenth Century
for July, entitled, "To Within a Mile OF
Khartoum," by Lieut.. Gasocoigne, will
convince any reader that those Christians
and opponents OF the Mahdi who were in
that iIl-fated place never left it alive; and
from the difficulty that the steamers OF

Rivalry Among Women.

Women who want to be clerks in
Washington have found a new griev-
ance.. It has been understood for some
time that they were being DISCRIMINATE
ed against under the civil service rules,
which allow the heads of departments
to call for male clerks if they prefer
them when vacancies are to be filled.
1t is now claimed by the blondes that
not only do they have to fight favorit-
ism shown to men, but also that evinc-
ed toward brunettes of their own sex.
The startling discovery is announced
that such appointments as are now Civ
en- to women are invariably bestowed
upon the dark-haired sisterhood. When
taxed with making this cruel distinc-
ton the officials excuse themselves by
saying that blondes are apt to be quick
tempered and do not make as good
clerks as brunettes. Naturally there is
great rivalry and hatred between these
factions-a war of white and red roses,
SO to speak. Inc blondes, however,
are able to score one owe their despised
antagonists owing to the appointment

Meaning. of Co,ors in sealine.wax

''Flirtations in sealing-wax are the
latest racket said a stationer yester-
day. 1.-The ordinary red wax signifies
business, and is supposed to be used
only for business letters. Black is, of
course, used for mourning and condo
lence. Blue means love, and as we
make four or five tints of this color,
each stage of the tender passion can be
portrayed. When pink is used con-
graduation is intended. An invitation
to a wedding or other festivity is
sealed with white wax. V~ariegated
colors are supposed to show conflicting
emotions. Do you know that thimbles
are being utilized to bear seals? Fact
The designs of hat sort are mild just
now, but are developing. Wen work
the idea up and think it will become
fashionable. The odors used in the
wax are ravishing in their delicacy-
that is the expensive SORT. The cheaper
grades are as bad as the pomatum of a
5-cent barber-shop. The perfumery is
the element of cost in the wax. A
Paris firm makes the finest imported
article. The perfume of the burning
wax fills an ordinary sized apartment,
and fingers about the envelope for
hours."-Rhiladetphta Times.

1t is dull, in the news line. But it is the

pest. Soon the silence will be broken
by the mighty roar of a hundred
reaping machines whirring and buzz
zing IN concert, the shouts of
the drivers adding to the din,
and the atmosphere will be laden
with the sweet and delicately delicious
aroma that floats up from the newly
mown harvest field. Then will pop up,
here and there, the annual crop of ex-
%cruciatingly horrible harvesting ma
